FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

AMERICA.

The British and North American Royal Mail Steam-
ship Cambria, Capt. Shannon, arrived here on Tuesday
morning before 11 o'clock, having been detained about two
hours outside the bar. She left New York on the 27th
ult., and Halifax on th._. 30th, at which latter place the
Hibernia arrived on the 27th.

The business in foreign Exchanges was moderate, and
the rates heavy. Sterling was selling at 8 to 9, Francs
5.35 to 5.30 and dull. The supply of Bills was considera-
ble.

In freights there was a fair business doing, and the
shipowners were asking higher rates. Engagements 40 or
50,000 bush. Corn, 6id. to 61d.; and 5000 Wheat, 61d.
The Carnatic was filled up at 61d. Flour was engaged at
Is. 6d. ; heavy freights 225. 6d.; Cotton,
The cholera was worse in the Western States, especially
at St. Louis and Cincinnati. In the former city, which
contains about some .60,000 persons, the number of deaths
daily exceeded 100 ; at Cincinnati, with 100,000 inhabi-
tants, about 70 deaths daily.
Gold continues to reach the United States from Cali-
fornia. The brig Ida arrived at Philadelphia on 25th ult,
with 300,000 dollars, including some beautifullumpsof the
precious metal, weighing above seven pounds each.
Cassino Clay is not dead as was supposed, but is ex-
pected to recover. The provocation to the duel was ahe
given in public meeting. Clay struck but once, his knife
ripping open the belly of his antagonist; he was himsel
stabbed, it is said, by a third party.
Further skirmishes have taken place between the Cali-
fornian emigrants and the Indians. In one of these
affrays 23 Mexicans were killed.

In Canada nothing special has happened, except it be a
battle in the Montreal City Council. One member, in a
speech, averred that in three months they would be all
Americans, whereupon another member crossed over and
knocked him down. This was followed by a variety of
hostile demonstrations, and finally the Council broke up
in order to avoid a general melee.
In Mexico, insurrections and other troubles are abun •
dant. In Oaxaca an attempt to overturn the Government
took place on the 29th May. It was put down with the
cnim. 90 killed on the Dart of the insurgents. In
Tampico the party aiming to repeat the
and annex to the United States the entire country this
side the Cordilleras, is still active. The region they
desire to separate from Mexico includes part of the States
of Chihuahua, Durango, Zacatecas and San. Luis Potosi,
and the whole of Tampico, Nuevo Leon and Coahuila.
The Congress of Venezuela has adjourned, after levying
severe duties upon foreign products. This was done at
the instance of Monagas, the President. It is said to
make him very unpopular in the country, and to strengthen
his rival, Paez, to such a degree that his speedy triumph is
anticipated.
