AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA. ,

The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
says that President Fillmore is about making public a
letter declining to be a candidate for re-election unless
the Baltimore Convention will adopt strong resolutions in
favour of the finality of the compromise.
Lola Montes was to appear at one of the Buffalo Thea-
tres. Considerable desire was manifested to see her
perform.
From Mobile advices of the Ioth instant we learn that
the Whigs of the fourth district of Alabama, in conven-
tion, have appointed a Fillmore delegate to the National
Whig Convention at Baltimore.
From Texas advices state that a riot had occurred at
Fort Merritt between the soldiers and a number of gam-
blers, in which two of the former were killed. Fifteen of
the men attached to the Rifles had deserted to Mexico
with their arms and equipments.
Accounts from Yucatan to the 27th of March mention
that great fears were entertained with regard to General
Lavenga's command, consisting of six hundred men,
which left some time ago, and had not been heard from
since. It is thought he may have fallen into an ambus-
cade, and his whole force been cut off. The Indian war
is far from being ended.
Canadian advices of a late date say :—The retrench-
ment bill of last session, for cutting down the salaries of
the Judges to £9OO, and the Ministers to £BOO, has received
her Majesty's assent. It is a pitiful piece of candle-end
economy, utterly unworthy of a sensible cabinet, and
ought to remain a dead letter. Men of talent and learning
will always fetch their price; the crown cannot buy them
cheaper than the public.
Alluding to the prospects of the business year, a Que.
bec letter of May sth says :—" The business year has
begun in earnest; upwards of sixty sail have arrived from
sea. and the summer boats are plying with tl.eir usual
regularity between Quebec and Montreal. Merchants
expect that this will be what is technically called a' good
year.' The contracts for timber in England have been
made at remunerative prices, and the quantity which is
being or has been got out, is unusually large. It is stated
that upwards of twenty millions of white pine will this
year leave the Ottawa, chiefly for summer deliveries.
There will be little done in red pine, I imagine. Ship-
pers of that article, last year, lost as much as Sd. and 9d.
a foot."

COMMERCIAL,
NEW YORK, MAY 10.
COTTON.—The market was steady • a fair inquiry pre-
vailed, and prices had advanced fully 4c. from the point of
depression. Sales on the 10th, 4,000 bales ; and on the
11th, 600, the market then drooping.
BREADSTUFFS.—Since the advices per Asia, Flour has
remained without change, but freights have declined 2d to
3d per barrel. There prevails an impression that receipts
will be light for the next thirty days, and the decline in
freights to England as well as those on the canals would
bear out that anticipation. At Baltimore Flour has ad-
vanced to S4l to £'4.7 26. The present prices are $4,1 to
$4 3-16 for good superfine, and $4l for the best brands
of Ohio and Western Flour. New Orleans sells at SAI
per brl according to quality. Canada is difficult to sell at
above -&43 per brl for common brands, at which there are
many buyers ; fancy brands 4541 per barrel ; Southern
Flour is steady at S-ft'i to S'4l per barrel.—Wheat con-
tinues in very small supply, and the few lots arriving
are taken at improving prices. Canada, on the spot,
has advanced to =Si per bushel for prime quality. Ge-
nesee prime white is selling at 109 to 110 cents per bushel
for domestic use, and of other kinds the market is bare,
though samples of good Michigan are exhibiting to
arrive towards the end of this month. The last sale of
Machigan was made from store here at £l, but the new
arrivals will probably bring a higher price.—The clear-
ances last week were 1872 bushels for London. 35,201
bushels for :Liverpool, and 11,883 bushels for Glasgow.
—lndian Corn is held rather higher since the late decline.
Yellow and white are worth 63 to 65 cents per bushel.
There were cleared last week 18,254 bushels for Liverpool.
—Rye has declined 5 cents per bushel, and the price is
now 71 to 72 cents per bushel. There were cleared last
week 14,481 bushels for Rotterdam.

450 PROVISIONS exhibited more animation, the movements
comprising 400 brls. new prime and mess Pork at £'l6l,
S4Ba, and -B`lBl ; 270 pkgs. sugar-cur6l Shoulders and
Hams at S to 9 cts., and 10i cts ; 200 brls inferior and
200 brls. prime lard at 91, 10, and 101 cts. ; 450 ditto
prime and mess Beef at $6 to 41'71, and B'lo to S'l3 75 ;
and 100 ditto Beef Hams at $l6.
FREIGHTS.—Rates to Liverpool were dull ; Cotton was
at 3-16 d. 1000 to 1500 brls Flour were engaged at ls. 4d.
Grain was nominal at 4(1. to sd. To London 1700 brls.
Flour were engaged at 25., and 6d. was demanded for
Wheat. There was no alteration to notice in rates to
Havre or California. A small lot of Cotton was engaged
for Bremen at 4- cent.

NEW ORLEANS, MAY 10,

The Cotton market was very firm on Saturday, and the
demand active: sales 5500 bales, at an advance of i over
the quotations of Friday.

LONDON AND NORTHWESTERN RAILWAY.—On Satur-
day last, a special meeting was held at the Euston-square
Station, to consider a bill now before Parliament, to en-
able the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company to ex-
tend their railway to Birkenhead ; and also to consider an
agreement for the working of the railways of the Birken-
head, Lancashire, Cheshire Junction Company, by the
London and Northwestern Company. On the motion of
the chairman (Geo. C. Glyn, M.P.,) it was agreed to
postpone the consideration of the bill, till the 2nd of
June. He then explained that the nature of the agree-
ment was to obviate the necessity for making a new rail-
way from Birkenhead to Chester ; and if it were approved,
the bill might be withdrawn. He mentioned the various
negotiations which had been held out at various times,
urged the importance of healthy union with Birkenhead,
act part of Liverpool, and recommended the
which had been made. Mr. Stewart, the
