LATEST FROM AMERICA.

The royal mail steamship Canada. Captain Juakins,
arrived here last night, about half.past seven, with 112
passengers. She has brought the mails and passengers of
the steamship Hibernia, which, 89 will be seen from a
statement elsewhere, weat ashore off Halifax. The Canada
hea brought advices from New York to the sth instant,
and Halifax e he Bth instant. The news is a fortnight
hater than that last received. The Caledonia arrived at
Boston on the 3lst Augu3t, the Washington at New York
on the 3d September, and the Niagara at Halifax on the
sth September. _ _

Money was easy, but active. Foreign exchange conti-
nued high, and for sterling bills, although a considerable
supply was in the market, from 91 to n was obtained.
The general character of the stock market at New York
was that of depression. Business was very active, and the
stocks of goods of all kinds were large.
There was little exportation of bread-stuffs to Great
Britain ; the prices have fallen, and freights are very low,
yet the prospect of the harvest is so good in Europe, that
little chance appears for any profit for adventures from
that side. During the last fortnight of August the export
of flour to Great Britain and Ireland reached about 16,000
barrels, together with about 500 quarters- of Wheat, and
3000 quarters of Indian Corn.
A disastrous flood has taken place on the Red River, by
which the cotton crop has been destroyed to the value of
five millions of dollars..

The New York Courier states that the growing crop of
cotton will require a fine open fall and late frost to yield
2,250,000 hales. South Carolina would make a fair ave-
rage crop if no disaster happened ; and a letter from Cc..
lumbia says that the crop will scarcely exceed 2,000,000
and any of the usual calamities may diminish that. A
letter from Columbus, Georgia, states that the prospect of
anything other than a very moderate yield is decidedly
discouraging. A communication from New Orleans, dated
August 25, 1849, has the following—" T. now think that
this year's crop must be a very moderate, if not a short
one. Frost, rains, inundation, and now worms, have done
and are doing their work. The accounts are very bad
from Louisiana, South Mississippi, and Alabama. Many
estimate the receipts at New Orleans the coming season,
at or under 750,000 bales. I think it is yet too early to
estimate."

The weather at New York had grown cooler, and the
cholera was rapidly abating.
President Taylor's tour has been interrupted by another
serious attack of Cholerine, which has reduced his
strength, and avoided him passing through the city of
Buffalo, where a great public reception was prepared
for him.

On the 4th instant the packet-ship Henry Clay, whilst
lying in the dock at New York, nearly laden with cotton,
rosin, &c., took fire, and was burnt to the waters' edge.
She was a splendid ship of 1400 tons burthen, and was to
have sailed on the 6th instant. It is expected she will be
a total loss. She was scuttled, with a view to sink her,
but the water at the Wharf was not deep enough, and the
plan failed. She was still burning when the Canada left,
and all hopes of putting out the fire had been given up.
Heating of the damp cotton was one of the causes assigned
for her ignition. . . .

In political matters there is little news worthy of trans-
cribing.
Very vigorous measures have been taken to suppress
the movement against Cuba. A steam-boat, cleared at
New York with arms and ammunition for Curacoa, has
been seized cn suspicion, and some arrests it is said have
been made of persons connected with the enterprise.
The administration at Washington having made a peremp-
tory demand upon the Governor of Cuba for the surrender
of Rey, a Spanish subject, forcibly_ abducted to, or repre-
senting himself to be, from New Orleans, and carried to
Havana—that individual was promptly surrendered to the
American Consul, and restored to the Unite' States.
The New York Tribune states The expedition from
this country is to consist of 1,500 men, who are to land
upon a part of Cuba where there are no troops to oppose
them. This- will not be difficult, as the whole Spanish
force is less than 10, 000 men, who cannot be spared far
from Havana and the other cities. Once landed, they
will proclaim a provisional government; those among the
people and the troops who are favourable to their cause
will join them ; with the increase of their numbers they
will move forward, and at last, if all goes according to their
anticipations, drive the Spanish Government from the
Island, proclaim it a free and independent State,, and take
the necessary steps to establish a republican constitution
and government."
The United States ship. Dale arrived at. New York on
the 22d ult. She left California on the 14th of March
with 300,000 dollars in gold, of which the principal part
was left at Valparaiso.
We havereports of serious disturbances with the Indians
in New Mexico, and the inhabitants of Santa Fe have
petitioned the government at Washington to send out
further force to quell the hostile demonstration of the
savages.
A correspondence has taken place between the Mexican
Envoy at Washington and the American Secretary of
State relative to outrages committed by parties of armed
Americans passing through Mexico for California. Mr.
Clayton promises that orders to meet the case may be
isued by the Secretary of War.
The only news we have from Mexico is that the party
of Santa Anna are all ready to bring him back, make a
revolution, and restore him to the Presidency. The par-
ticulars of the plot, if plot there be, will of course not be
known till after its success or failure.

Front Cohlor.iai!;re isl;Or Wev4 whatever, though a
steamer is hourly expected.
In Venezuela Paez has been finally defeated, his forces
dispersed, and himself taken prisoner by Monagas, who
may now be regarded as secure in power. It is to be
hoped that the country will now have a season of tran-
quility, and recover from the wounds inflicted upon it by
these agitations, in which private ambition and cupidity
are not often relieved by the interest which attaches to a
conflict in which grent political principles are involved.
The state of industry and commerce in Venezuela is so
desperate, amid its teeming natural resources, that all who
can are adandoning the country.
In Canada nothing of importance has happened. After
several days rioting at Montreal the citizens came forward
to be sworn in as special constables, in sufficient numbers
to preserve the peace, and since then there have been no
further disturbances. We hear that the Governor-
General is about to show himself in the city once more ;
he has not been there since last April. At Kingston a
new paper has been established to agitate the question of
separation from the mother country. The verdict of the
coroner's iury on the body of Mason, who was shot in the
riot at Montreal, was rendered on the 25th ult. It de-
clares that Mason came to his death by baying been shot
