ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA

The Royal Mail steam-ship America, Shannon, com-
mander, with advices from New York to the 22nd ultimo,
and Boston to the 23rd, arrived in the Mersey at half-past
six o'clock on Sunday evening.

The America sailed from Boston at noon on the 23rd,
and at 7 20, a.m.. on the 24th, passed the steam-ship
Niagara, hence for Boston. At 2 55, a.m., on the 25th,
she arrived at Halifax. and, after a detention of one hour
and fifteen minutes, to embark mails, ecc., she again pro-
ceeded.

The America brought 74 passengers, and 8289,000 in
specie, on freight.
The United States mail steam-ship Franklin, Wootton,
commander, which sailed from Cowes Roads on the 9th
ult., arrived at New York on the 21st.
Our miscellaneous advices mention that one of the
largest stock operators in Boston had failed in his engage-
ments. An oil merchant had also suspended. The Whig
National Convention, at Baltimore, had nominated Gen.
Winfield Scott, of New Jersey, for President, and William
A. Graham, of North Carolina, for Vice-President.
The New ]'ork Herald says, "An important extradition
case, under the act of treaty between the United States
and Great Britain and other foreign nations, is now pend-
ing before Mr. Commissioner Bridgham, in this city. It
appears that Anthony Barclay, Esq., the vigilant British
consul of New York, claims the extradition of Thomas
Kaine, an alleged fugitive criminal, who is charged with
shooting at and wounding, with intent to kill, a farmer
named Balfe, in the county of Westmeath, Ireland, in
May, 1851. This is, we believe, the first instance in which
a fugitive has been claimed in this city, under the act of
treaty, for a capital offence, and the result will be looked
for with a great degree of national interest."
Late intelligence from Central America is contained in
the following communication from New Orleans :—By an
arrival from Honduras, we learn that the inhabitants of
Ruatan, as well as five other islands dependant on Hon-
duras Bay, had refused to acknowledge British authority,
and claimed the protection of Honduras, which had been
accorded to them. The superintendent had given orders
to have the Government buildings at Ruatan sold, which
was done at a great sacrifice. Everything was in a state
of rebellion and disorder, and the most serious conse-
quences are apprehended.
The British P. S. Navigation Company's steamer San-
tiago arrived at Panama on the 3d June. Flores was still
at Puna. He had nine vessels, plenty of funds, and only
waited for the steamer Quickstep, to attack •Guayaquil.
He had some twenty Guayaquilian prisoners, and, when
two of his men were taken, be sent word that he would
murder all the twenty if one of his were harmed. The
French population at Guayaquil had most of them taken
quarters under the protection of the French consul. The
American ship-of-war Raritan, and a British and a French
corvette, were still there.
Advices from San Juan del Norte to the 11th June
mention that, on the 2nd, her Majesty's war-steamer
Albion arrived at the port of San Juan del Norte. or Grey-
town, with the British commodore of the West India
station, who notified to the authorities that the Govern-
ments of Great Britain and the United States had agreed
to guarantee the independence of San Juan. Commodore
Parker, of the Saranak, whom the British commodore ex-
pected to meet, had not arrived, but there was no doubt
of his concurrence on the part of his Government. Com-
missioners had proceeded to Costa Rica and Nicaragua for
the purpose of definitely settling the boundaries of the
territory of San Juan. In the neighbourhood of San
Juan, and on the Isthmus of Panama, robberies were
become very frequent.
Commodore Aldham, of her Majesty's sloop Swift, at
anchor off San Jose, Lower California, had made a protest
against the seizure made by the captain of the port of San
Jose of the person and property of Mr. Ritchie, a British
subject, and against the sale of his property by the Mexi-
can Government. The protest, if broken, would, it was
thought, create a serious rupture between the English
Government and that of Mexico.
Advices from Valparaisb to the 15th May, mention that
charters for guano to London were £2 per ton.
Advices from Toronto, which extend to the 18th, do not
contain any intelligence. _ _ _ . . _

From Havana we have advices to the 14th ult., but they
are devoid of news.

NEW YORK, JUNE 22.
MONEY MARKET.—There is no new feature to notice
in the Stock Market. Government Stocks and other
leading securities are in demand for investment, and prices
are very firm. In almost every department of trade,
business is quiet, consequently the demand for money
from these sources is light, as is usual at this reason of the
year. The supply is much greater than the demand, giv.
ing the borrowers the advantage in negotiations. The
demand for Foreign Exchange is not active, but rates are
firm : London, 110 to 110} ; Paris, 5.16/- to 5.15 ; Am-
sterdam. 40i to 41 ; Hamburg, 361 to 361; Bremen, 78t
to 79 ; Frankfort, 40/- to 401.
COTTON.—(Prom Mr. W. P. Wright's Circular of
June 22.) —Since my last circular of the 16th instant, our
e cotton market has been inactive, but since the arrival of
the Europa, with Liverpool dates to the sth of June, there
has been more firmness on the part of holders, and I find
it necessary to raise my quotations of last week 4-c. per lb.,
to conform to the prices paid yesterday and Saturday
