ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.

The Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Captain Lang,
arrived here at ten o'clock yesterday morning from New
York, with dates from that city to the 25th ult. inclusive,
33 passengers and 681,000 dollars specie in freight,
The steam-ship Cambria reached Boston via Halifax
on the 23d ult., and the City of Glasgow arrived at Phi-
ladelphia, after a passage of 19 days on the 24th.
By this arrival there is not any news of importance.

From Washington we hear that the cabinet had been
engaged in investigating serious charges against the gover-
nor and chief justice of New Mexico. General Butler had
defined his position as a candidate for the presidency,
giving his opinion on the comp! oa►ise measures, and repu-
diating all free soil predilections. It was said that this
pronunciamento had caused great excitement among the
resident candidates.

Private letters received in New York, dated Mexico
City, Jan. 31, mention that the Tehuantepec treaty had
been rejected by the Mexican Congress. The Mexican
papers, however, do not speak of this. The House of
Deputies had read for the second time the proposition for
a railroad from Mexico to Vera Cruz.

From Hayti we have advices to the 6th ult. Owing to
the holydays and the rainy weather, but little coffee was
arriving. The market price for that article is 86 dollars
currency per 100 lbs. Logwood abundant at 22 dollars
per 100 lbs.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

NEW YORK, FEE. 25,

The money market continues easy, and the rates " on call"
are 6to 7 per cent. per annum. First-class paper discounts at
from 7 to 8 per cent., and other descriptions at from 9 to 12
per cent. per annum. The demand for exchanges for this
steamer has not been active, and the rates are scarcely so high
as durity, the past week. We quote London bills 110 to 1101.
pression and disappointment to, holders of this staple, and
sales have been made of ordinary to middling at a decline of
one-eighth of a cent. The business is still to a fair extent, and
holders meet the market freely. The sales since the departure
of the Pacific have been 8,000 bales.
BREADSTUFFS.—The Cambria's advices have depressed the
market. With continued high freight and a disposition on the
part of speculators to realise, prices for State and Ohio receded
64 cents but towards the close of business yesterday. freights
having given way, the market became firmer, though no im-
provement in rates was established. The better grades are in
request for home use at well-supported prices. Canada is of-
fered rather more freely, and is less firm. Wheat is steady,
and Indian corn neglected, so that holders are disposed to
accept lower rates.
FROVISIONS.—Beef is in active request at full prices. Pork
in moderate demand. Lard sold steadily at 9 to 9hc. for good
to prime. Butter and cheese are wanted, and sell readily at
ateikroriNt e.The market is quiet, with small sales, Scotch pig at .
821 • and 300 tons English bars, 334, six months. Pig lead is
held'firmly.but since the sales noted in our last, there has been
nothing done.
FREIGHTS.—In freights there is not much doing, and the
rates are steady. To Liverpool shipments are not so active since
the arrival of the Cambria. Wheat is taken at 5d to 6d ; flour,
Is 8d to Is 9d;
and cotton, id ; and to Glasgow, flour, Is 9d;
and cotton, id. To Havre there is no change to note.
NEW ORLEANS, FEB. 24.—Receipts for the week ending to-
day, 48,000 bales. Total excess at all the ports, `151,000 bales.
Middling, 3c. (seven and seven-eighths) per lb. Freight to Li-
verpool, 5-16 d per lb.
CHARLESTON, FEB. 23.—The sales of cotton to-day amounted
to 1,000 bales at 61 to Sic. The steamer's news has checked
the demand, holders refusing to concede a reduction.

Teta THEATRES.-Mr. Silsbee's engagement terminated
on Saturday evening, the attendance at the Amphitheatre
during the week having been very good. The operatic
entertainments at the Theatre Royal also closed on that
night, but the company have removed to the Amphitheatre.
where they will continue to play during the ensuing week.
-" ANOTHER BARDIC CONGRESS.~ commend to the
notice of our readers the efforts of the Committee of the
Liverpool Eisteddfod to promote the cultivation of literary
talent among their countrymen. To-morrow evening, the
Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, will be the scene of a
very pleasing ceremony—the award of prizes for the best
essays on the " Last Half Century." To grace the
occasion, and lend a charm to the proceedings, an assembly
or " congress" of bards will also be held, when some of
the most renowned in Welsh literature and oratory will
deliver addresses, not only in their native tongue, bat
also in the English language.
A baron of beef will be served at the Merchants' Din-
ing ROOM this day ; another on Thursday.—See adv.
