The insinuation conveyed by Mr. EvANs' first
improper and insulting ; and
no wonder it was resented by Mr. BOLD. The
concluding exhibition of frenzy on the part of the
former gentlemen was still more improper, and
most unseemly as coming from a magistrate. But
the worthy gentleman may be excused. He has
had a sore disappointment lately, in not having the
honour of proposing a candidate for the county of
Dublin, although he travelled across the channel
for the purpose : and his speech prepared for the
occasion, which was to have settled for ever all the
" Irish questions" which have perplexed states-
men, being still uncomfortably fermenting in his
stomach, Mr. EVANS probably thought to relieve
himself by the Hibernian proposal of pistols and
coffee for the first gentleman he might fall foul of.
Our " Liberal" contemporaries continue their
maudlin reprobation of the " mysterious" Derby
affair, although the half of them, who are possessed
of brains and candour, are inwardly convinced that
the whole affair is a ruse, got up to cover the inde-
cent preceedinge of their own party. Not a word
do these gentlemen utter about the ruffianism,
priestly and lay, which has characterised the Irish
elections ; not a word in condemnation of the gross
and incendiary lying which the myrmidons of
Maynooth have used so freely to stir up the bad
passions of an ignorant and impulsive population; not
word of all this ! The CULLENS and McHALEs

A New York paper says, " Several disgraceful affrays
occurred in Lexington on the day of the funeral of
Mr. Clay, and the evening preceding, arising out
of those family quarrels which are cherished with
so much rancour in some parts of Kentucky. Mr.
Frank Telford met Major Thomas Reed in a bar-
room, and immediately shot at him with a revolver.
Reed was not dangerously wounded. The other parties,
belonging to the belligerent families, whose members
never meet without attempting each other's lives, were
brought together on this occasion for the first time in ten
years. They met in the crowded streets of Lexington,
and immediately exchanged shots ; not, however, with

serious results." The Canadian census returns,
have just been issued, give the population of both Canala
exclusive of the military and Indians, at 1,809,565.
Our advices from San Francisco, California, extend to
the 18th June. The number of passengers landed at San
Francisco during the month of May was 10,641 ; the de-
partures for the same period did not exceed 1,000.
Between February 9 and June 6 there arrived at the same
port 6,770 Chinamen. The feeling against the Celestials
had evidently not subsided, as was imagined. Amongst
the immigrants from Hong Kong were eighteen Chinese
females, attired in the costume of their country. The
intelligence from the mining districts relative to the field
of gold is not very interesting. It was said that a party
of Germans had discovered a very rich gold placer on the
Sacramento route to Treka. The placer was said to be
extensive, and of unexampled richness ; the earth in man•
places yielding from S 3 to S's to the panful. '

ing upon the hooks of the custom-house was, for the past
quarter of 1852, =8'7,710,932, of which 5'7.277,500 were
taken by steamers to Panama, and =8'332,703 to San Juan
del Sud ; the remainder, =8'101).729, were carried by sail-
ing vessels to Hong Kong, Valparaiso, and other ports
upon the Pacific. This does not comprise the large

amounts taken by passengers.
San Juan was very healthy, and the river high. H. M.
steamer Rosamond was on the station, and her crew and
officers were reported as being all well.
The Panama railroad had been completed to the crossing
of the river near Gorgona, and was in good order for
traffic.

It is stated, in the Chagres advises of the 2d, that the
cholera had broken out with some severity in Cruces.
There was not a white man at work on the whole line.
The mail steamer D e arrived on the 2d from St. Thomas
and C Irthagena, bringing from the latter place 200 rail-
way labourers.

The Panama Herald, of the 20th June, contains very
important intelligence from Guayaquil, brought by the
schooners Anita and Augustin. The passengers by the
former vessel stated that, as they were leaving the mouth
of the river, Flores, with his tint, was ascending towards
the city. It was said that Flores's force amounted to
1,200 men, to oppose which Equador had only 200 or 300.
The Herald states, on private authority, that Flores posi.
tively entered and took possession of Guayaquil about the
18th or 20th. The British mail steamer Lima arrived at
Panama on the 3rd July, with dates from Valparaiso to
the 15th June, and from Peru to the 21st of June. At
the former port business was languid. Freights were dull,
with but little offering.

It was reported at Valparaiso that a change of ministry
had occurred in Peru, and that the government felt dis-
posed to withdraw its assistance from Flores.
In the advices from the Sandwich Islands, which extend
to the 12th of May, we find the particulars of the murder
of an American Captain and crew by the natives of
Chatham Island, one of the Gallapagos. Captains of
vessels are warned to be on their guard when visiting
these islands. Business at Honolulu had slightly revived.
Exchange on England was 491 to 51d. per hard dollar.
From Tahiti we have intelligence of the success of the
revolution, and the flight of Queen Pomare. Riatea had
been the scene of a conflict between the Republicans and
the Royalists, The half-bred native who was elected by
the former as President pro tern. was overpowered and
forced to flee with his troops before the sudden assaults
of the Royalists. The Republicans, however, rallied, re-
ceived strong reinforcements, and marched against Queen
Pomare's troops, repulsing them with considerable loss of
life on both sides, and reinstating their President. Queen
Pomare, hearing of the defeat of her troops, hasted in
person to Riatea, to turn the tide of war. She was
assailed with great fury, and barely escaped with her life
by taking refuge on board a French frigate, which arrived
at Mati, one of the Sandwich Islands' group, on the 15th
May.. The flight of the Queen is said to have restored
tranquillity at Riatea.
From Kingston, Jamaica, we have intelligence to the
11th ultimo. On the 7th, the inhabitants of the whole
island were alarmed by the occurrence of one of the most
severe earthquakes ever experienced in Jamaica. it took
place at half-past seven in the morning, and was preceded
by a loud, rumbling noise, similar to the distant rolling
of carriages. Every house shook from its foundation,
and in Spanish Town several old buildings were thrown
down. All the clocks stopped immediately, and the
shock of the convulsion was felt very sensibly by the
crews of the ships in the harbour. The weather since the
earthquake had been excessively hot. Small-pox was
very prevalent in the island. The legislature was not in
session, but it was thought that the governor would call a
special meeting, with the object of providing for the
return-passage to India of some of the Coolies, whose
contracts had expired, and who demanded to be sent
back. The Standard asserts that Sir Charles Grey was
about to be recalled.

We have Havana dates to the 15th July. An active de-
mand for sugars had reduced the stocks, and prices were
high and firm. Exchange on London was 104 per cent.
prem. Freights for large vessels to Cowes and a market
were 355.

A Quebec paper of the 15th July, gives an account of
the loss of seven lives by a land slip at Cape Blanc.

NEW YORK, July 20.
MONEY MARKET.—There is no alteration whatever to
notice in the rates for money ; the supply exceeds the
demand, and good mercantile paper is scarce. First-class
endorsed notes and acceptances, short, are quoted 4 to 41
per cent. per annum ; ditto long, 5 to 6 per cent.; loans
on Government and State Stocks, 3 to 5 per cent.; mis-
cellaneous securities, sto 7 per cent. Foreign exchange
has been inactive for a few days past, although rates are
firm. London, 110 to 1101; Paris, 5.15 to 5.164; Am-
sterdam, 401 to 41 ; Frankfort, 40-1 to 401 ; Bremen, 781.
to 79; Hamburg, 361 to 36. Domestic exchanges are
without material alteration. The exports from New
Orleans and Mobile have fallen off to such an extent as
to entirely reduce the supply of exchange, both foreign
and domestic, and to place the rates on New York at a
premium of per cent.

• COTTON.— ( From Mr. W. P. Wright's Circular, of
July 20.)—1n prices there is no change of moment, and
must be considered, in a great measure, as nominal, since
it would be equally as difficult to buy as to sell in quan-
tity within the range. The sales since 13th inst. have
been 5,500 bales, and the exports during same time have
been, to Liverpool, 2,384 bales ; to Havre, 48. Total,
2,432 bales. The operations in the southern markets are
now very light. The purchases during the past week have
been chiefly for Great Britain and Spain. Of grades good
middling and upwards, the southern markets are very
bare, and the price of such is above the ordinary relative
difference, and, in fact, entirely capricious. I hear of
sales of middling-fair in New Orleans as high as 12c. and
even 12.ic. per lb., and what is equally as strange, it was
bought on order from Liverpool. The bulk of the stock
left in Mobile and New Orleans consists of low middling
mixed quality, for which I am advised by telegraph under
date of 16th inst., holders had submitted to a reduction of
4c. per lb., and were accepting offers of 8-ic. to 81c. per
lb. By telegraph, dated 17th July, at New Orleans, I
learn the receipts for the week were 3,000 bales ; sales for
the week 4,000 bales. Prices unchanged. Another week
has passed, and we still continue to receive good accounts
from the south as to the prospects of the growing crop.
Up to 17th instant, at New Orleans, the report is, Pros-
pects for crop favourable." The following is a statement
of the exports of cotton since the Ist of September last, as
compared with the previous three years :

1852. 1851. 1830. 1849.

Stock on hand 134000 194000 256000 154000
From which it will be seen that the excess in receipts
now amounts to 631,000 bales. The increase in exports
to Great Britain is 276,000 bales ; France, 125,000 bales ;
other foreign ports, 89,000 bales. Total increase in
exports, 490,000 bales.

i3axAnsTiirrs.—Since the arrival of the Humboldt,
the market has been less firm, holders showing more dis-
position to sell without any material change in the rates.
Canadian is dull at 444, 61 to $4, 124 in bond ; southern
kinds continue in fair demand at the former rates of
'B'4, 371 to £'4, 62 for Baltimore, Alexandria, and George-
town. Good samples of wheat have been in demand;
but, with rather more free arrivals, and the Humboldt's
news, the market is scarcely so firm. Canadian in bond
is quoted 102 c. to 103 c. for good mixed and white ; Ge-
nesee, 108 c. to 112 c. Indian corn of shipping quality is
scarce and brings 61c. to 624 c. for good western mixed ;
unsound, 53c. to 60c.
PROVISIONS.—Mess pork is firm. Sales of 200 barrels
have been made at $l9, 371; prime brings Sl6, 871 '
rumps, $l6, 75. Lard is firm at 11c. Mess beef, 814,25
to $l4, 75 ; Chicago ditto, els ; prime is scarce.
IRON.—The market is firm, 100 tons Scotch pig iron
have been sold at $2O, 25 to -$2O, 50, six months.
FREIGHTS.—To Liverpool engagements have been made
at Id. for cotton, ls. for flour, and 4d. for grain.
To London, flour, Is. 9d. To Havre there is no alteration.
A vessel was chartered to load at St. John's, N. 8., for
Liverpool, at 655. _

HAVANA, JULY 15

Since the 28th ultimo an active demand Maintained for
sugars, while the supplies have sensibly diminished and
the stock has become much reduced. Under these cir-
cumstances the prices have gone still higher and firm.
The accounts from all parts of the island, south as well as
the north side, fully confirm the material deficiency of the
crop. The transactions in coffee are very insignificant.
Freights: the last charters were at £1 15s. for large ves-
sels to Cowes and a market; £2 to £2 2s. 6d. for small
Spanish vessels to Falmouth and a market ; £2 to St.
Petersburg direct ; £1 15s. to £2 for Hamburg. Exchange
on London 101 per cent. prem.
KINGSTON, (JAMAICA') JULY

s
Business had been very dull, though the market for
sugar and rum had a somewhat improved appearance.
Pimento and coffee were not procurable. In some parts
of the island favourable weather had been experienced,
whilst in others it had been very unfavourable. In the
parish of Trelawney the cattle were dying by scores from
the want of water. Harvest was to commence at the
beginning of August. Exchange on London was quoted
at to 1 per cent. premium for merchant's bills at 60 days.
VALPARAISO, JUNE 15.
The market continues with little variation. The Armide
has arrived from Liverpool ; her cargo of coals has been
sold in England to the Pacific Steam Navigation Company;
price not transpired. The same company has also pur-
chased a cargo of Chili coal at $2O, placed in Callao, ex
Gardner. Freights : No charters for England have been
closed since the sailing of the steamer. The Guano Com-
pany offers 55s in full to call for orders, and Sl3 for the
United States, at which the following vessels have been
taken up :—American ship Mazeppa, British ship Armide,
and British barque Eagle. The English brig Desire was
