The Canada sailed (vim Boston at 0.15 on the 18th, and
from Halifax at 2.40, a.m., on the 20th. On the 21st, at
3, p.m., in lat. 45 40, lon. 56, 30, she passed the Niagara,
hence for Halifax and Boston; on the 27th, at 1 am.,
signals were exchanged with a steamer supposed to be the
Arabia, hence for Boston ; and on the 29th, at 2 p.m.,
passed the Africa, hence for New York.
The steamer Nashville sailed from New York for South-
ampton and Havre, on the 16th, in place of the Humboldt.
The royal mail steam-ship Europa, hence, arrived at
New York on the 16th inst.

The remaining survivors, with the exception of sixteen
soldiers and two seamen, of the wrecked steamer San
Francisco, had arrived at New York in the ship Lucy
Thompson, having been transferred from the Kilby. The
Kilby, with the remainder, arrived at Boston on the 17th.
The Brazilian consul at New York had given notice
that, in consequence of a company having been incorpor-
ated for the alleged specific objects of transporting passen-
gers and freight between the port of New York and the
various ports on the river Amazon, no foreign flag is per-
mitted to enter the said river Amazon.
Galveston advices of the 6th state that Caravajal had
been acquitted by the United States Court. Colonel Sloo
had effected a contract with the firm of Sykes and Co., of
England, for the construction of a plank road across the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
Further violation of the revenue laws came to
light upon the arrival of the Europa at Jersey city, the re-
sult of which was the arrest of the surgeon and the bar-
tender of the Europa, and the seizure of a large amount of
goods—probably not less than s3,ooo—found in their pos-
session upon which no duties were paid. The Custom-
house authorities have been stimulated to greater vigi-
lance by the late discoveries. In addition to that, Mr.
Cunard, the agent and part owner of this line of steamers,
came into possession of information received by the last
steamer that goods had been received at Liverpool, by
steamers from Glasgow and Greenock, to be sent to the
United States by the Europa, by parties engaged in smug-
gling. Mr. Cunard communicated this fact to the proper
person, and measures were taken for the detection of the
smugglers.
In the Senate, Mr. Pearce offered a resolution instruct-
ing the committee on naval affairs to report measures ex-
pressive of the estimation entertained for the gallantry of
of the captains of the ships Antartic, of New York, Three
Bells, of Glasgow, and bark Kilby, of Boston, in rescuing
the officers, crew, and passengers of the wrecked steam-
ship San Francisco, and advocated at some length the pas-
sage of the resolution, paying an effective tribute to the
noble heroism of the act which, after some debate, was
adopted. In the course of the debate allusion was made
to the manner in which Captain Nye, of the Collins
steamer, Pacific, had been rewarded for his exertions in
saving the crew of a British vessel.
The steamer Texas had arrived at New Orleans from
Vera Cruz, bringing dates from the city of Mexico to the
sth instant. An important treaty had been concluded
between Mr. Gadsden, the American minister, and the
Mexican Government. The Mexico treaty agreed to
give 39,000,000 acres in Mesilla Valley for $20,000,000, of
which $5,000,000 were to be reserved for paying claims,
including the Garay grant, &c. It was understood that
Mr. Sloo pays the Tehuantepec Company $2,000,000 for
the relinquishment of all their rights. The Trait d' Union
notices the Gadsden treaty favourably, and says it was
received with joy by the public. General Lombardini
was dead, and General Almonte had succeeded him in
command of the army. General Alcosta, the Minister of
War, had resigned on account of ill health. The details
concerning the destruction of the Walker expedition to
Sonora were received, but nothing later except the reported
capture of the Caroline.
The packet-ship America, arrived from Liverpool on the
15th, and had very bad weather. On the 27th a wave
broke over the deck, washing away James Quenet, sea-
man of Dundee, and damaged the ship so badly that she
had to lay to and repair. On the 4th inst. she was again
washed. She had been four days getting in from Fire
Island.
The packet ship Continent, arrived on the 14th from
Liverpool, lost 54 of her steerage passengers by cholera.
The continent had a boisterous passage of 42 days.
The ship Great Republic proves, upon examination, to
be in not so bad a condition as was at first supposed. The
hull is entirely good, and all her timbers as sound as
when she was launched.
Havana advices of the Bth state that a decree was
passed on the 29th tilt., regulating telegraphic despatches,
obliging all 'employees to observe an inviolable secresy,
but reserving to the Governor the right of stopping this
mode of correspondence whenever:he may choose. Very
little business doing in sugars, owing to the small stocks.
The stock on hand was about 35,000 boxes. No material
alteration in other products.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, JAN. 17.

MONEY AND STOCK—The demand at present for ex-
change for remittances is by no means large, and the quota-
tions on London have been irregular. The best banker's
bills have been done at 1091. The stock market on Satur-
day exhibited a lowering aspect. On Monday there was a
better feeling at the board, and prices were maintained as
at the close on Saturday. To-day business to a fair
amount was done, without change to note from yester-
day's rates.
COTTON.—(Front W. P. Wright' a Circular, of Janu-
ary 17.)—0n Wednesday and Thursday last week this
market was dull, with a tendency to decline. After the
arrival of the Baltic, however, more activity prevailed,
and holders were unwilling to accept the low offers of
buyers. Yesterday a fair business was done. In mid-
dling to good middling there has been no change in price,
but for middling fair they are C. to ic. per lb. lower than
last week, owing to our increased stock of these descrip-
tions. The total sales for the week have been 11,312
bales : namely, export, 4,914 ; home use, 3,862 ; specula-
tion, 1,674 ; in transitu, 862. The export during the
same time has been, to Liverpool, 5,872 ; Havre, 1,158 ;
Bremen, 56 ; Antwerp, 180. Total,
7,266 bales. The
receipts at the ports, owing to a fall in the southern
rivers are again light for the week under review, and the
total deficit, as compared with last year, now amounts to
558,000 bales.

since the Ist September last, as compared with the pre
vious three years
