LATER FROM AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.

The British and North American Royal Mail Steam-
ship, Caledonia, Capt. John Leitch, arrived in the river
this morning soon after one o'clock, having been detained
outside for several hours from want of water. She has
brought intelligence from New York to the 23d ult., be-
ing only three days later than that brought by the steamer
Herrman. • She has brought twenty-eight passengers,
among whom are Sir John Richardson, the celebrated na-
vigator, and the Rev. Ernest Hawkins, who has been on
a tour in the States and Canada, in connexion with the
Society for Propagating the Gospel.
The intelligence outwards by the Niagara, as far as re-
gards the misunderstanding with M. Poussin, was consi-
dered satisfactory,
The Americans were keenly alive to the rumoured pur-
pose of Russia to make the refusal of the Ottoman Porte
to betray the rights of hospitality a cause of war.
Money was easy and abundant, and notwithstanding the
ruling quotations for sterling exchange at 10k, and the ex-
port of silver by each packet for Europe, no solicitude
was felt for the currency. The banks had plenty of coin,
and the sub-treasury had on hand a balance in coin of
3,800,000 collars. The harvest of all sorts is abundant,
and there would be, during the next few months, it
was confidently expected, considerable shipments to Eng-
land of flour, corn, barrelled provisions and bacon, al-
though the demand here did not encourage them. The
cotton crop, it was known, would be short, but uncertainty,
of course, hung over its ultimate extent.
The Niagara, steam-ship, would leave New York on
the 31st ultimo, her regular day, so that the accident she
met with must have been slight.
Thera is no new phase in Canadian politics. Memo-
rials for and against annexation are openly and actively
circulated—the former receiving most numerous signa-
tures—the latter being signed chiefly by official persons.
It has been officially intimated that the sea; of govern-
ment will be changed from Montreal to Toronto. This
movement will advance the cause of annexation at the
former place, whilst it will retard it at Toronto. Mr. L.
M. Viger, the Receiver-General of Canada has resigned
his office, and it was reported that Mr. Leslie, the Pro-
vincial Secretary, has done the same. The advices from
Montreal are to the 22d ult.

The repeal of the Navigation Laws by this country was
expected to give a great impetus to ship-building in the
United States.

The barque Rio, of Newcastle, was fell in with on the
28th September, a complete wreck. The crew saved.
The estimated loss to the planters by the Red River
overflow is £5,000,000.
The tobacco crop of Ohio is estimated to be worth
$750,000.
A vein of superior coal has been discovered in Albany
county, New York.

NEW YORK, OCT. 23.
Corrox.—Our market closed as advised per Canada on the
16th inst., with an animated demand, and sales to the extent of
4,000 bales at extreme rates. A large portion of this business
was speculatis e, the buyers anticipating an advance of id. per
lb. per the Niagara, then expected. On the 17th the high rates
demanded drove buyers from the market. Sales of the day
600 bales, principally for home use at Ili a llt for middling
fair and fair Uplands.
On the 18th, the Niagara's advices were received per tele-
graph, and their tenor being disappointing, re-sales were made
to a small extent (500 bales), at a decline of ic. On the 19th,
the sales did not exceed 400 bales, speculative parcels being
freely offered at c. reduction from the rates of the 16th. On
the 20th, the transactions amounted to 2000 bales, chiefly re-
sales, at c. decline. To-day there has been a goon inquiry,
sales of 1500 bales at our quotation annexed, which will be
found to average tic. below those advised per Canada; sales of
the week, 9000 bales.
