AMERICA.

The Hibernia, mail steamer, arrived in our river at a
few minutes before 2 o'clock on Tuesday morning, after a
passage of a little over twelve days. She brought sixty-one
passengers from New York and twelve from Halifax.
The Niagara arrived at Halifax on the 12th, and was
met by the Hibernia near to Ncw York.

The cholera was rife over the whole of the American
continent. At St. Louis. where it was most prevalent at
the time of our last arrival, it is stated, under date July
10th :—" The partial daily reports for the week ending
Sunday noon were 884—of which 678 were deaths by
cholera. There are about 300 emigrants from below at
quarantine, who are unable to come up, owing to the
quarantine laws being in full force. It is impossible to
picture the distress the epidemic has occasioned among
our citizens and emigrants arriving at this port ; in a num-
ber of instances whole families have been swept out of
existence by this awful disease, and hundreds of our mer-
chants have fled from the city, leaving their business very
frequently in an unsettled condition."
The disease was said to be increasing, the weather being
wet, with a good deal of thunder and lightning. It was
also very fatal at Cincinnati, Albany, Baltimore, and other
parts of the union. In the south-west its ravages
amongst the slaves are frightful, and the hitherto healthy
regions of the Carolinas are beginning to experience its
fatal ravages. In New York the cases are about 150 per
day, of which a third are fatal. It has also made its ap-
pearance in the north and in Canada, but not in so de-
structive a form.

The National Festival of Independence passed off the
fourth of July without any event specially worthy of
notice.

The New York Tribune reports that :—" In Canada
nothing of moment has happened, though our correspond-
ents advise us of coming difficulties. The Tories now
boldly advocate separation from Great Britain and annexa-
tion to the United States. The Montreal Herald, the
chief organ of that interest, has taken that ground in the
m^st decided terms, and there is no reason to doubt that
the whole party is of the same way of thinking. In
Canada-West the Orangemen are organizing as if for a
conflict to be decided by force of arms. They are to
meet in large numbers on the 12th inst. (to-morrow) to
celebrate the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne. The
place of meeting is at Port Hope or at Cobourg, and the
men are to be there under arms. The government has in
that quarter no means of resisting them. The weapons
they are to bring are those distributed among them in
1837 to put down the rebellion then existing, and may
now serve to carry on another revolt, which will be less
easily subdued. We trust, however, that the matter may
be settled without bloodshed."

We have nothing new from California. The reports of
great disoreer there are now regarded as fabrications.
Another and a richer gold country has, however, been
found in the state of Sonora, in Mexico, which would pro-
duce an ample harvest to the Mexican people if they could
get rid of their troublesome neighbours, the Apache In-
dians, who are committing many outrages and murders.

From Mexico we hear that the rebels of Sierra Madre
have taken possession of the city of San Luis Potosi, but
that they soon found it necessary to evacuate it. The re-
volution to bring back Santa Anna is talked ot, but noth-
ing has yet been done. The Indians are reported to have
beaten the Mexicans in Yucatan.

"We have," says the New York Tribune, " advices
from Buenos Ayres to Mry 23. There was at that time a
better probability of the settlement of the difficulties be-
tween France and England than has existed at any time
since its commencement. The decree of Rosas prohibit-
ing every kind of communication with the British and
French ships-of-war, has been suspended, and the long-
delayed exequatur of the British Consul has been made
out."

The political news report a split amongst the opponents
of the present administration, the Free-soil and South-
erners. The extension-of-slavery question is the point of
difference.

A riot had occurred at Boston, the contending parties
being American and Irish. Two of the latter were killed.
Mr. Wilson, the vocalist, died of cholera on the Bth
instant, at Quebec. He was announced to sing in Mon-
treal on the following afternoon.
The whole of the stock (1,000,000 dollars) for a railroad
on the isthmus of Panama, from a navigable point on the
Chagres river to the Pacific Ocean, has been taken in New
York. The work will be commenced within a few weeks.

COMMERCIAL.
(From tle New York Tribune.)
Since our last issue there has been no change in our Money
market. The rate of interest is still low, and the supply of
capital abundant. First-class paper goes at sto 6 per cent.,
and loans on best collaterals are negotiated at 4 to 5 per cent.
The Banks are full of coin, and cannot employ all their means
safely and profitably.
The Exchange market has been dull and heavy for this
steamer, and closes without activity. Good Sterling has been
sold at 84 to Eq, although some leading drawers obtain 81 for
small sums. Francs arc 535 to 5 30, and are dull. The sup-
plies of Sterling are large.
Freights to Liverpool and Ireland are steady and rather ac-
tive—Corn, 64d. to 60. in bulk; Flour, Is. 6d. to Is. 7211 ;
heavy goods, 20s. to 225. ed. ; Cotton, id. ; Naval Stores, 2s.
to 3s. To Ireland—Corn, 7d. to Bd. To Havre—Cotton, ic.
There are large quantities of Corn going forward to Liverpool
and Ireland.
Business generally is quite dull in all branches except pro-
duce. This condition of things, however, is to be expected at
this season of the year. The dry-goods business is quiet, and
prices are sustained with difficulty. Cloths, however, are
doing better.
In Breadstuffs there is a good demand, and for Flour the
market is improving. Best Western Canal sells at 4 624 to
475 per brl ; sour, 350 to .Ft 4 ; fine, 4OGto 4 12. The sales for
export are large, mainly of fine. Corn is in large demand for
export, with sales of 8,000 to 10,000 qrs. per day, at 53 to 551 c.
per bush. for mixed, 56 for flat yellow, 54 to 56c. for white, 58
to 58ic. for round yellow: Wheat is heavy and dull. Genesee
is nominally 120 to 123 ; Western, 75 to 102—the latter for
prime Ohio, and the former for Illinois and Wisconsin red.
The Provision market has not been very active. but Pork has
improved to 9 25 for Prime and 10 75 for Mess; the stock here
is about 120,000 brls. Beef is scarce and firm ; Prime Mess
sells at 16 50 to 817 per tierce. Lard is heavy at 63 to 61c. for
good and prime ; Grease 5* to 53. Cut Meats are firm. Shoul-
ders,43 to 4# ; Hams, 53 to 6# ; Sides, 6 to 7 ; Grease Butter,
6# ; Cheese, 2 to 5c., according to quality.
The late news from Europe has given an impulse to Cotton,
and the qualities have advanced fully a ic. per lb. since the
last steamer. The demand has been active, and the sales reach
2,000 to 4,000 bales per day, partly on speculation but mainly
for export. The stock here is 65,000 bales, of which 10,000
bales are on the market. Holders are very firm.

DEFEAT OF THE FRENCH BY GARIBAIDI.
At last some accounts have reached about Garibaldi.
That daring chief has neither submitted nor gone to
America as had been reported. He had taken post at
Civita Castellana, not far from Ferni, His force consisted
of 8,000 men, but was every day augmenting. An engage-
ment had taken place between a portion of his troops and
the French division sent in pursuit of him, when the
latter were defeated, having thirty killed and woundnd.
The conduct of the French at Rome is a thorough
specimen of bullyism and despotism. The prisons are
now crammed, so that great danger has arisen to the
public health. Great numbers are emigrating to America
and England. At Civita Vecchia, and on the way, there
were 3,000 refugees. Not a carriage is suffered to pass
the gate of Rome without a Search for arms, and a general
disarmament is rigorot sly enforced.

The Agram Gazette announces another signal victory
gained by Bem over the Austrian General Ottinger.
Another Russian division, attempting to force the pas-
sage of Aidos, in Moldavia, had been driven back by the
Hungarian F.
Cunsous FACT.—The Baltimore Patriot learns from a
gentleman who has recently returned from a visit to the
eastern shore of Maryland, that both sides of Chester are
lined with dead fish, from the smallest to the largest size.
The same phenomenon was obseri e 1 during the existence
of the cholera in 1832, and the causes which then existed
have no doubt produced a like effect now.
THE INDIAN COTTON CROP.—Extract of a letter from
Bombay, dated 2nd June, 1849:—"There is not much
doing in cotton for"the English markets, but to China the
natives are shipping to some extent. Prices have Irtely
advanced, and for Surat, Broach, and Dhollerah, Rs. 85
to 86 in the raw bale is asked ; for Compta, new, Rs. 80 ;

LATEST FROM AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE MAIL STEAMER CANADA.

This splendid vessel arrived in our river a few minutes
before three o'clock on Saturday, having made the passage
from Boston, which port she left at 11h. 58m., a.m., on
the 18th, in the unprecedentedly short period of ten days.
Indeed, we may remind our readers that the difference in
solar time being about four hours against the vessel, the
voyage has in reality been made in a little less than ten
days by the chronometer. The Canada passed the steam-
ship Caledonia, outward bound, off St. George's Island.
The Niagara bad arrived at New York on the 14th.
She encountered, during the voyage, several days of dense
fog.

There is nothing of political importance in the advices
by this steamer, the papers being nearly filled up with
reports of the cholera, which is ravaging nearly every por-
tion of the United States and Canada, and spreading con-
aternation on every side. In New York the number of
cases had risen to 158 on the 16th instant, with 55 deaths
and only 16 -recoveries. Contrary to the experience of
1832, it is most rife in the best parts of the city ; and
amongst its victims are a large number of the middle and
higher classes. The New York Herald says, "We have
to enumerate the deaths of persons who were respectable
and well-known citizens, both in the professional and in
the business community of this metropolis. David B.
Ogden, Esq., a distinguished practitioner at the bar;
James Reyburn, Esq., a well-known cotton broker, in
Wall-street ; Alexander Wykoff, Esq., Secretary of the
Hudson Railroad Company, with some others of similar
rank, have been quite suddenly swept away in the course
of the last few days." Mr. Reyburn was an Irishman,
born in Limerick, and his loss, it is said, will be deeply
felt by his poor emigrant fellow-countrymen, to whose
necessities he was ever a liberal contributor. There is a
discrepancy in the number of cases given respectively by
the city inspector and the board of health. The former
gives the deaths in June and to the 14th instant at 1534,
and the latter at 969. The former is considered the correct
return. The telegraph from Montreal, under date of the
16th instant, states—" The cholera is returning with fear-
ful p.piclitv among us. The deaths in this city were, on
Saturday, 45, and it is supposed that the number yesterday
was greater. This terrible and sudden increase is partly
to be attributed to the sudden change of weather. Since
the thunder storm of Friday night last, the thermometer
has stood seldom higher than 70, and often as low as 60.
Prior to the storm, it stood as high as 90, and occasionally
went up to 100. The board of health have now become
so alarmed that they are afraid to publish the true report,
and the consequence is that the public hear of the deaths
only. The cholera is also spreading to a great extent
among the soldiery. Lord Elgin, it is said, has refused to
allow the troops to leave the town, although requested by
the medical men to do so. In Quebec, sad to relate, the
disease has been far more frightful than even in Montreal,
the deaths averaging from twelve to fifteen per day. The
merchants refrain from attending at their counting-houses,
and the consequence is that business is perfectly paralyzed.
Many citizens of the first respectability have fallen a prey
to this dire disease in Quebec." The scene of its most
disastrous raw ges, however, continues to be the unfortu-
nate city of St.:Louis. The deaths there from the Ist of
May to the Bth of July are reported at 4,454. A corres-
respondent of the Boston Transcript, writing from St.
Louis, July sth, gives the following lamentable picture :
"Death is every where. Cholera is dealing its blows to the
right and left, and thousands of our people have been hurried
to their graves. A man now well may be, an hour hence, a
corpse. The sextons, the undertakers, and even the horses, are
worn out with the dreaeful work of burial, Cartsand furnilure
wagons have to supply the places of hearses, which, though nu-
merous, are insufficient to carry out the coffins, though piled
one upon another. Many dead bodies lie, without a friend to
execute the rites of interment, until a public officer or Sister of
Charity comes to put them in the ground. Some persons, to
save expenses which they are not able to bear, bury their friends
in the woods, br on the sand bars of the river. Many is the
house, lately full of inhabitants, that now has scarcely one left
to tell the story of the departed. Husband and wife will take
their tea together at evening, and, before the next morning, one
or both is ready for the grave. Some of the sextons, overtasked.
bury the dead at half the usual depth. The city government
have abdicated their powers before an indignant populace, and
the duties of the Board of Health are devolved upon a com-
mittee of the citizens. The.public school houses are turned into
hospitals, and the chief business of the living is to take care of
the sick and dying, and to bury the dead. Many members of
the city government, and probably not less than ten thousand
of the citizens, have lied. The stillness of the sabbath reigns,
while death is doing its work. The newspapers do not, it is
said, report half the cases, because all the forms of law are
paralyzed, and officers do not discharge their duties. A dui-
ness, nervousness, and lack of energy are manifested by every
one. The atmosphere is hot and humid. Flies swarm in:my-
riads. Vegetation grows with the rankest luxuriance, and
animal life sinks proportionably. We have been hopinz for
many days that the disease would soon begin to abate. But it
onlyincreases. It is believed that not less than 1,400 die per
week,. and about 200 per day."
It is remarked here that those attacked are mostly in
the middle of life, the period most exempt of all others
from ordinary diseases.
THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.—Father Matthew
has been enthusiastically feted at New York, and admi-
nistered the pledge daily to thousands since his arrival.
He was to proceed in a week to B stow.
THE GOLD REGIONS.—We have dates from Chagres
to the 28th of June, which report nothing new from
California. The steam-ship California left Panama, on
the 24th of June, for San Francisco, with full freight and
many passengers, amongst whom were comprised most
all those awaiting transportation at that place. There
uro but fom now le.ft nn the. Teth mil, The. stastm. chip
Teviot left Chagres on the 29th ult. for England, with
77,550 dollars worth of gold on board.

From St. Louis we learn that many of the Mormons
had gone in search of gold. Several serious quarrels and
fights had occurred among the emigrants on the plains.
Many were taking the back track for home.
WEST INDIES.—The Herald says—" We have advices
from Kingston, Jam., to the 2d instant, by which we
learn that the Assembly met on the 28th ult. The
Kingston Journal says the session will soon end, as the
majority of the members had determined to transact no
business."

CANADA.—The question of annexation continues to be
freely discussed by the Canadian press ; and much ill-
feeling exists between the British and the dominant
French party. The question has been taken up in the
United States by the ultra demoratic party, the weakest
in the union.. They profess, however, no wish to inter-
fere in the matter. Itet Canada and Cuba, they say,
become independent states, and then they will treat with
them for their admission into the American union.

SERIOUS .FIRES.—The Herald says—" A tremendous
fire is now raging in Alleghany city, and already some
twenty-five to thirty buildings arc in ashes, including Dr.
Swift's church. It is impossible, at present, to tell where
or when it will stop, as no water is thrown to stay its pro-
gress—in consequence of a disagreement between the
firemen and the city councils, who refused the necessary
appropriation for repairing the engines. A number of
companies from Pittsburgh are on the spot to render
assistance, but the mob will not aliow them to work.
Thirty houses, at least, have been destroyed." A later
account states that the military had been called in to
assist the enginemen and to protect property. Another
great fire had broken out at Maunch Crook, and de-
stroyed the largest portion of the town, including the
court-house and gaol.

• COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

We extract the following from the New York Courier
and Enquirer : •
NEW YORK, Monday Night, 16th instant.
The news by the Niagara, which steamer reached this port
on Saturday, has caused some animation and some rise in
prices of public seeuritieo and of produce.
Our money market remains abundantly supplied.
Exchange on London is very heavy. The range of highest
quotation is from si to 8Z though good bills have been seld.at
81.
In cotton, which at our last date was advancing here in price,
there has been a further advance and much activity, which is
to be accounted for by the better rates prevailing in Europe,
and by the increasing conviction that the growing crop 2mist be
a late one, and, therefore, probably a moderate one.
The following statement has been handed to us:—

We have since last week's steamer had an active demand
daily, speculators participating largely in the business doing,
and prices have further improved ic. on all grades, more par-
ticularly on qualities rangin., from "good middle" to "fully
fair." The sales of the six days past amount to 16,000 bales,
viz. :
Florida and N. 0., Texas
Uplands. and Mobile.
11,000 bales 5,000 bales
Low ordinary 73 @ 71 7 @

Good ordinary Bl @ ii gi @

Good Middling. Bi @ 84 9* @ 91
Middling fair 9* @ 93 9& @

Fully fair
Good fair lO @ none offered
"Inferior" descriptions are scarce, and held at 74c.; "fully
fair and " good fair" Gulf are still more scarce, and worth
from laic. to 121 c.
There is a strong feeling here in favour of a further material
advance, which can be checked only by the receipt of very
unfavourable foreign advices.
The stocks in the United States are reduced to a low fig-ure,
168,001, of which 84,000, it is estimated, are held in New York.
The growirb. crop is admitted to he four weeks later than
last year, and the impression that it will prove a short, or at
all events a very moderate one, will cause the planters to hold
for higher prices.
The wheat harvest is over in Virginia, and is in rapid progress
in Pennsylvania and in this State under a mos tfayourable
state of weather.
Indeed, the long prevalence of hot, bright, dry weather, un-
favourable enough after 'so long continuance to other vegeta-
tion, has removed mostly all apprehension of rust, from the
effects of which so much was feared. In Southern Ohio only
do we find well founded complaint on this score, and notwith-
standing some falling off there, our wheat harvest will he
ample.
Our imports for the week ending 13th instant amounted to
three millions and fifty-four- thousand dollars, exclusive of
goods entered for warehousing, which were in value nearly
three-quarters of a million, for the same period.
The value of the exports for this port for the same period,

only amounted to a little more than eight hundred thous and
dollars, not much exceeding the valueof the goods warehoused.
Under such circumstances a rise in the rate of Exchange on
England would be inevitable, but for the amount of United
States stocks abroad, recently purchased and remitted, either
in payments or for sale. It is believed that Mr. Bates, of Ba-
ring Brothers and Co., before his departure from this country,
invested something like one million of dollars in United States
sixes, which sum lying here, would otherwise have gone into
the Exchange market for the purchase of bills. We annex
our usual quotations
Ashes are in fair demand. Both Pots and Pearls may be
quoted at doll. 6ff.
The Flour market continues quite firm, and the better brands
less plenty and in request. The city and Eastern trade has
been rather active for some time past. The range for unin-
spected and fine is .84,124 to 34,31 f ' • common State and mixed
Western, .84,814 to 84,94 ; straight State and good Western,
.84,94 to 85,25; Ohio brands are scarce, and held at .85,12 f to
85,25. The export demand is principally for uninspected and
fine. Southern is in light supply, and sells at .85 to .85,25 for
Brandywine, Georgetown, and Baltimore. Rye Flour brings
.82,94 to 85. Corn Meal is quiet at 82,94 to .83.
GRAIN.-Wheat is dull, with but fevrtransactions. Genesee
is held at 120 to 125 c.; Ohio, 100 to 105 c. •, and common Wis-
consin at 80 to 85c. Rye is held at 561 to 57c. Barley is out of
season. Oats are lower, and sell at 32 to 34c. Indian Corn is
less plenty, and prices are well supported; 'round yellow is
scarce, and brings 58f to 59c. ; 54 to 553 c. for Western high
mixed, and yellow white is scarce at 56 to 58c. for Northern.
PROVISIONS.-Ohio Pork remains inactive Mess may be
quoted at 310,62 f to 810,75; Prime, .89 to 39,121. Beef is
steady at .812,50 to 12, 75 for river and city mess ; .813,25 for
Chicago, and 310,50 to .811 for prime. Lard is dull at 6f to
63c. for bbls. and 73 to 73c. for kegs.
FREIGHTS.-To Liverpool-Cotton, *d., Corn, 6d.. Flour,
Is. 73d. to Is. 9d., heavy goods, 20s. to 225. 6d. To London-
Tobacco, 275. 61, Naval Stores, 25., measurement and heavy
goods, 305., Flour, ls. 9d., Provisions, ss. 6d. to 6s. in tierces,
and 2s. in bbls. To Havre-Cotton, id, Ashes, Rice, &c., .88
to .810 per ton. To Glasgow-Flour, 25., Naval Stores, 2s. 6d.
F. Ireland-Flour, Is. Id!, Corn, sfd. to 7d.
Uron the prospects offered for the British manufac-
turer, the New York Courier remarks,-
"The full importations are likely to be exceedingly large,
and they must be paid for in some way. Whether there is a
demand for foreign fabrics here or not, our markets will doubt-
less be flooded with them, and they will be forced off in the
usual way, through our action rooms. The manufacturers of
Great Britain must find markets for their goods ; and in the
present state of Europe the prospect is more favourable as re-
gards cousiiinricin in this country than in any other part of
the world. We may, therefore, expect a very hewn, importa-
tion ; and in the absence of any important demand for our
breadstuffs, or advance in the prices of cotton, we must rapidly
fall in arrears in our foreign trade."
(From the New York Herald for Europe.)
NEW ORLEANS, July 12, 1849.
There was a fair demand for cotton yesterday, though the
heavy rains somewhat restricted transactions. The sales were
about 1400 bales. Prices taken in favour of the seller, though
without any marked change; middling at 711 c. to 7ic. Freights
continue steady, at Si 50 per bale for cotton to New York, and
c. per lb. to Havre. Rates to Liverpool remain about the same,
with moderate engagements. _ _

ALBANY July 16, 6, p.m.
There has been a fair demand for flour to-day, and we notice
sales of 1500 bbls., including common state and mixed Western
at $4 50 to 4 623/4 ; straight brands ditto ditto, at $4 623/4 to
$4 75, and pure Genessee at 85 122 to S 5 25. In wheat there
were sales of 2500 bushels Genessee at Al 17. For corn there
is a good demand, though the prices are a trifle lower. The
sales are 6000 bushels round yellow at 543/4c. Oats are in good
demand and market firm ; about 12,000 bushels changed bands
at 323/4 to 33c. _ _

BUFFALO, July 16, 1849.
Receipts by canal since Saturday :—Flour 6500 bbls.; wheat,
7000 bushels; corn, 48,000 bushels In tour there is a good.
business doing, and the sales are 3000 bbls. at $4 28 for common
Michigan, and 84 37i to .84 44 for ditto Ohio. The operations
in wheat are 2500 bushels Ohio, prime quality, at 90c. The
demand for corn is active, and the transactions embrace 30,000
bushels, at 43c. to 44c. for mixed Western. Freights are, for
flour, to Albany, 54c., and corn, 9ic.

INTERESTING FROM LIBERIA.-WAR WITH
THE SLAVE-DEALERS.

The Boston Traveller, of the 6th instant, says, " We
have received our files of the Liberia Herald to the 18th
of May.
" The expedition sent by Governor Roberts to New
Cesters and Trade Town, for the destruction of the slave
factories at those places, returned to Monrovia on the 28th
of April. The troops, more than 400 in number, were con-
veyed to New Cesters by a French steamer, and three
British vessels, one or more from the French squadron,
and the U. S. ship Yorktown, accompanied the expedition.
"The fullest success crowned the undertaking. The
slavers were completely routed, and their establishments
at both places destroyed. The slaver at New Cesters had
raised the whole country in his defence, had supplied the
natives liberally with munitions of war, and when the
Liberian expedition attempted to land, led on in person
Eho nativos by thoncancla to oppoco a landing. A fou7
bombs from the French steamer kept them at bay, and
under cover of her fire the troops pushed boldly ashore
and formed on the beach. The Spaniard did not show
himself afterwards, but the natives, concealing themselves
behind the rocks, trees, and bushes, kept up a continual
and annoying fire for two days. As soon as the line of
march was taken up for the barracon, the slaver hastened
to the factory, and applied a torch. , When the Liberians
arrived there, the house was a heap of ashes. It4kas built
of mud, so thick and well dried that it would have resisted
a six-pound shot. It was three feet thick, twelve feet
high, and beautifully whitewashed, and, enclosing a per-
fectly level and well-cleaned area of about two-and-a-half
acres of land, presented a beautiful sight in the deep green
wilderness in the bosom of which it was situated. Six or
seven men were killed of the natives, the rest taking to
their heels. Not a man was killed or seriously wounded
among the Liberians. No resistance was offered at Trade
Town. The slaver there had heard of the fate of his com-
patriot below, and as the men marched up to his factory,
he advanced to meet them, suing for mercy in the hum-
blest attitude.

"The amount of property destroyed by this expedition
was not known, but it is said to have been large. The
troops brought back with them two Spaniards and thirty
or forty slaves. Previous to setting out upon the expedi-
tion, the forces assembled in the Methodist Church, in
Monrovia, and there united in prayer to God, that he
would prosper their undertaking.
" The schooner Lark, presented by the Queen of Eng-
land to the Republic of Liberia, arrived at Monrovia on
the 16th of May.
"The Herald speaks of the gratitude which is felt by
the people of Liberia towards England, for the deep sym-
pathy and spontaneous kindness which have been mani-
fested for them : for the attention bestowed upon President
Roberts, while in England recently ; and for the prompt
recognition of the Republic by the British Government.
We wait,' the Herald says, ' with no little anxiety to
hear what the American people will do for us. That they
have done much cannot be denied—seeing they conducted
us from nothing to 'our present condition ; but we hope
and believe they will do more.'
" The treaty procured by President Roberts between
England and the Republic of Liberia was formally ratified
by the Senate of Liberia on the 26th of April. The treaty
places Liberia on the footing of the most favoured nations.
In accordance with the spirit of the treaty, a law was passed
by the legislature of Liberia declaring slavery piracy, and
punishable accordingly."
In addition to the above we understand that the com-
mercial agents of the Liberian Government for England
(Mcssrs. George Wright and Co., of this town,) have
received highly satisfactory letters since the return of Pre-
sident Roberts. The energies of the people are directed
to agricultural pursuits, with a view to the increase of their
exports, while at the same time they are ready to exchange
their products for everything that is serviceable for them•
selves; and what is paramount to all is, the strong dis-
position in the people for learning in all its subsidiary
branches.

M. Theodore Lesseps left Paris on Friday, for London,
on a Government mission.
Letters from Berne announce that the Swiss Confeder-
ation have ordered a levy of 28,000 men to be placed
under the command of Feneral Dufour, in consequence
of the violation by a number of Hessian troops of the ter-
ritory near Schaffhausen, for which satisfaction was re-
fused, and in consequence of a considerable body of
Prussian troops being assembled on the German line in
the direction of Switzerland.

DR. BIRD'S SULPHUR REMEDY.—An American medi-
cal practitioner, Dr. Terry, of Detroit, has written a
letter in the New York papers to show that Dr. Bird's
sulphur remedy for cholera is a humbug. He says he has
made a chemical examination of the pills used by Dr.
Bird. He found that they did not contain sulphur, but
consisted almost entirely of morphine, to the effects of
which he traces the sudden check of diarrhoea by these
pills.
