LATEST FROM AMERICA.
We received last night from Liverpool New York
papers, brought to that port by the packet ship Sheri-
dan, Captain De Peyster ; they are to the 26th ult., and
six days later than previously received. The Sheridan
completed, her voyage in sixteen days.
The steamer Britannia, which sailed hence on the 4th
of January, arrived out at Boston on the 22d, with a
month's news from England, the packet ships of the ith
and 13th Dec. not having reached New York. Sufficient
time had pot elapsed to know what effect the news would
have on the money market.
In the Senate the Bill for the issue of five millions
dollars, to meet the exigences of the Government, had
been passed, and the Bankrupt-law was to be brought
up the day after the sailing of the packet.
Mr. Clay has intimated that he intends to resign his
seat in the Senate.

From Canada the news is unimportant. The Gover
nor-General of Canada, Sir Charles Bagot, arrived at
Kingston on the 10th instant, and was received with ap-
propriate honours. A proclamation had been issued
announcing the' appointment, and his assumption of
the office.

The accounts from Mexico to the 10th of December
state that the President Santa Anna was dangerously ill
of dysentery. The Texan prisoners of war were on
their march to the capital. The Mexican Congress is
summoned to meet on the Ist June next, fOr the purpose
of forming a new Constitution, in which all the depart-
ments, including Texa:, were to be represented.

Southern• Exchanges continue active, and rates are
improving on the principal Southern cities.
The Farmers' Bank of Canton has stopped payment.
The Canton Repository states that the Bank has sus-
tained itself against a constant run for four months, and
expresses the opinion that her means are ample to re-
deem all its circulation, subject only to the delay neces-
sary for collecting.
The Cotton market is more buoyant; about 800 bales
were sold at an advance on most descriptions of 1-4 c.
per lb. There is very little doing in flour except for the
Eastern markets.

PORTUGAL.
Letters from Lisbon, of the 7th inst., state that
the Chartist insurrection is- spreading- over the north
of Portugal. The Charter has been proclaimed in Coim-
bra, Valencia, Braga, Guimaraes, Vianna, Villa Real,
Aveiro, Chaves, Varzim, Villa Nova da Gava, Villa
Nova da Famalicas, Villa da
.Santo Thyrso, Gondomar,
Lonzada, Amarante, Baiao, Santa Cruz, Barrosas, Pare-
des, Negrellos, Bemvioa, Villa da Feint, and in Castello
Branco.
The Municipal Chambers, or Councils, of all the
towns have proclaimed the Charter, and forwarded in-
telligence of their adhesion to the Previsional Junta
at Oporto. An academic battalion haS 'been enrolled
at Coimbra by order of the Junta, and supplied by
them with 300 . stands of arms. A grand re-
view took place r.t - Oporto during the course
of the past week, and the Te Deum was sung upon Sun-
day in honOnr• of the-movement ! The Barons de Val-
longa and de Leirca reached Oporto on the Ist instant,
with a poriion of the troops under their command, and
the Bth and 9th Regiments were hourly expected. The
Junta had allocated 20 .contos of reis out of the seized-
public funds., for pay and l6ans to the soldiers in Oporto.
The three.provinces of the north, which have now al-
most universally given in their adhesion Jo the.revolt at.
Oporto, contain more
.than half the population of the
kingdom. The QUEEN is still without' a Cabinet,- the
Duke of. PALMEILLA being unable to form one: -Her
MAJESTY is at the bottom of these revolutionary ,more-
ments.

We are desired to correct an error in our insertion
from the" Gazette" of Tuesday last, of the declaration of the bank.
ruptcy of Messrs. Miller and Cradock, of Stockton.upon.Tees, the
former having lately been in partnership with Mr. John Campion,
and that description being given to Mr. Miller, in the bankruptcy
proceedings, the fiat does not affect Mr. Campion, who, by mistake,
is described as'a bankrupt, along with the other too parties.
DEAR BREAD VERSUS WAGES.—Last week,
a large manufacturing house at Milns Bridge, near Hudders-
field, reduced the wages of one class of their workmen, from
were reduced two shilling-, perpack, t
one pound to sixteen shillings; and another, the woolsorters,
Leeds Mercury; or we ty-five per cent.—

LIVERPOOL, -FRIDAY EvErma;
By the arrival of the packet-ship. Columbus, Captain
Cobb, .from New York, to-day, we have papers from that
city to the. 19th ult., inclusive. They are remarkably
barren of news. The sitting of the Recorder at Phila-
delphia, to consider the evidence in the matter of Ni-
cholas Biddle, Esq., and others, the former President and
late officers of the Bank, had resulted in his deciding
that there was sufficient evidence to cause him to re-
quire the parties to be bound in two sureties each, -to
answer the charge at the ensuing General Sessions. This
result had caused a considerable sensation.
In the Senate,- the repeal of the Bankrupt-law of last
session was under consideration, and had only been ad-
kli:Tied upon a point of form. It was said now that
the repeal would undoubtedly be carried by a consider-
able majority of that body.
In Cincinnati a very serious riot had occurred,-in con-
sequence of the excitement caused by the stoppage-of a
fraudulent- bank. The mob broke into the closed pre-
mises, destroyed the furniture, books, and papers, and
plundered it also of some money. They were attacked
by the city guard, and driven away; but returned and
plundered several other banks and exchange offices which,
;they supposed, participated in the fraud.
The business report at New York is cheerful ; there
was a lively demand for cotton, for export, at steady
prices, but without advance. Very few bills were drawn
tbr this packet, the rate being, however, the same as at
the last advices, 108 c. 1081 c. for bills on London. There
is no news by this arrival from Canada, nor had any
tidings of the Halifax and Boston packet, which sailed
hence on the 4th of January, reached BoSton when the ac-
counts left.
