AMERICA.

The North American mail steam-ship Europa, Captain
Lott, arrived in the Mersey at noon on Sunday, with ad-
vices from Boston and Halifax to the 26th and 28th ult.
respectively, being six days later than those brought by
American steam-ship Washington, from New York, ar-
rived at Southampton on Saturday. The Europa, which
accomplished the run throughout in ten days and three
quarters, experienced very fine weather in crossing the
Atlantic, but in her course up Channel encountered strong
gales from the eastward. She brings fifty-four pas-
sengers, amone whom is the Hon. Abbot Lawrence, the
American Minister to the Court of St. James's.

The royal mail steam-ship Cambria, Captain Shannon,
arrived at New York on the 22nd ult., and the America,
Captain Harrison, at Boston, on the 26th, from this port.
H.M.S. Trincomalee sailed from Halifax for Havat a
on the 25th.

The royal mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Stone,
would have her repairs completed by the 27th ult. She
was intended to leave New York for this port on the 29th.
The New York journals devote many columns to the
correspondence relative to the diplomatic squabble be-
tween the United States and French Governments. The
interest attached to this affair had considerably abated. It
was reported that Mr. Poussin, regretting exceedingly
the offensive tone of his letters, had authorised a friend
to make to the Secretary of State all proper apologies and
retractions on his behalf.

Another diplomatic disagreement is reported. Letters
from Washington to the 23d ultimo, state that a sharp
correspondence had taken place between the Secretary
of State and Mr. Crampton, the representative of Great
Britain, relative to certain assumptions of England upon
the Mosqueto territory. The press of the United States
has for some time past viewed with jealousy the influence
-exercised by the British Government over that territory,
and the claims to act thereon • and it now appears that
the Government had taken up the matter.
The suit for divorce between Mr. Pierce Butler and his
wife (Fanny Kemble) had resulted in its being granted.
A packet-ship, of 1,000 tons register, named the Al-
bert Gallatin, was launched on the 25th ultimo, on the
Hudson. She is intended for the New York and Liver-
pool trade, and will be commanded by Captain John A.
Delano, formerly of the Patrick Henry.
In Canada a political riot had taken place at Bytown.
A public meeting was held on Thursday, the 17th instil
by the friends of the Government, for the purpose
adopting an address to the Governor-General. The o
position party attended the meeting, outvoted its origi
nators, put out the officers they had appointed, and in
troduced and passed a resolution warmly condemning th
Government. The ousted party afterwards returned
with stronger force, and a fight ensued, in which it was
reported some were killed and others badly wounded.
The military force was called out and succeeded in re-
storing order. By telegraph from Montreal to the 23rd
ultimo, we learn that the disturbances at Bytown still
continued, and that there were large arrivals of men
from the country, who were fully armed and equipped, to
aid in the outbreak. The troops, however, acted promptly,
and prevented any serious damage being done.
An extensive fire occurred in Quebec, on the 22nd
ultimo, in which upwards of 25,000 dollars worth of pro-
perty was consumed.
Accounts from Mexico state that Paredes had died.

We have dates from Rio Janeiro to the 10th August.
H. MS Apollo, from England to India, put into that
port on the Bth, having lost eighteen of her men by
cholera.

The Emperor Solouque, of Hayti, bad conferred on
several of his generals the titles of lords, dukes, and
barons. •He had also an armed expedition against the
Dominician government.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 25.
Since our last issue, the-Stock market has recovered some-
what from the decline which followed the announcement of the
dismissal of Mr. Poussin, the French Minister, and Govern-
ment stocks are backed nearly to thepoint they stood at before
that fact was known. The supply of Government stocks is
moderate, and holders, generally, are well able and disposed to
carry their stocks for an improvement. A state loan of 50,000
dollars was taken last week, at ii for Six per Cent. Stock of
1865.

Our Money market continues abundantly supplied with
capital, and good paper is scarce and in demand. Favourite
names, short time, go at sto 6 percent. Longer paper goes at
Bto 10 per cent. On call money is increasing in abunance,
and on Government stocks could have been borrowed at 3 per
>cent per annum. The regular rates are 4to 5 per cent. The
banks are discounting freely for their customers, and cannot
employ all their means.
In Exchange there is but little doing. The rate for,first-class
names. sterling, is 94 to 93, but good bills can be had at 84 to
9.; francs 5 273 t• 5 25. The demand for remittance by this
steamer has been moderate, and the supply light. There is
nothing in the Freight business at present to indicate a rise in
exchange.
The coin in the sub-treasury has accumulated to:3,800;000
dollars, but the banks are still amply supplied, and the ab-
straction of so large a quantity causes them no alarm. The
receipts of gold from California will doubtless be large during
the winter and keep us well supplied.
COTTON.—Since our last, per Niagara, 17th instant, we have
had an animated demand for cotton, at daily improving prices.
On Wednesday, 19th, 1,500 bales were•sold at full rates to 4c.
advance ' • on Friday, 21st, 5,000 bales, at a further advance of
3c.; on Saturday, 22nd, 3,000 bales, at full rates to ad-
vance; and to-day, Monday, 24th, 3,180 bales, at full rates to
4c. advance: making, for the week 16,153 bales, at 3c. to lc.
above the quotations last advised. The market closed to-clay
with a good inquiry for,export and home use, at the annexed
quotations, and a very limited quantity offering. We quote
this day as follows, remarking that our ,quotations are .for
strict Liverpool, not Nat York, classification :
Florida and N. 0., Texas,
Uplands. and Mobile.

BREA r STUF73.—In breadstuffs there has been:an improving
teudency during the week, with a good demand. The supplies
have been moderate from the interior. The quotations are,—
Western Canal Flour 4 dollars 874 cents to 5 dollars 25 cents
,per barrel, corn weal 8 dollars 18 cents, Gennessee•.wheat 120
to 122 per bushel, :Indian corn 58 to 60 for mixed, and 60 to 61
for yellow. _ _

PROVISIONS.—In provisions there has been nothing of im-
portance doing, and very little for English account. Pork is 8
dollars 50 cents and 10 dollars per barrel. One or two con-
tracts for prime mess beef have been made at 16 dollars to 16
dollars 50 cents per tierce. Cut meats are very inactive and
nominal. Lard is heavy, with sales at 6i to 64 the latter for
strictly prime.
IftoN.—We note a fairdemand, but the market is inactive,
though without change in prices. The; ales include 600 or ;700
tons Scotch Pig, at 20 dollars 50 cents cash, and 21 dollars 50
cents, or .22 dollars, six months from ship ; and 60 tons Swe-
dish steel:iron, 80 dollars, seven months.
FRE tonTs.—Freights continue dull, as. efore quoted. The
vessels on ,the berths fill up with difficulty, at 75c. per bale for
cotton, 6d. per barrel for flour, zd. for corn, 10s. to 15s. for
dead weight for Liverpool. To London, Glasgow, &c., small
engagements 2re made at previous rates.

On Wednesday, two constables went to a farm near
Cloyne, Cork, and arrested the tenant, named M`Carthy,
when his family and friends attacked the bailiffs, whose
lives were placed in jeopardy, when one of them levelled
his musket at Mr. M'Carthy, and shot him dead.
A new chapel, designed for the Baptists of the town,
has been opened in Wexrington.
FEARGUS O'CONNOR,-Sir R. Peel was doubtless in
ignorance that Ireland has no right to lay claim to the
ancestry of the hon. member for Nottingham. He owes
the distinguished honour of his nativity to the circum-
stance of the coming over from England, and settling in
her southern province, of his grandfather, or, peradven-
ture, his great grandfather, a stout, shrewd, and active
Essex man, of the name of Conyers. He had speedily
become the possessor of a good estate in the county Cork,
that had slipped through the fingers of some spendthrift,
whose family dated in Ireland perhaps from a century
before ; when its then representative had followed the
fortunes of Cromwell's lieutenants in the south, as a
" thorough godly" trooper, or a " chosen vessel" of a
drummer • and profited accordingly, on the native Irish
being robbed of their lands. The strange Sassenach
name of Conyers was ere very long transformed by the
Celtic tongues of his new neighbours into Connors, and
thence into Connor. After the latter change, and when
the penal laws had ceased to render the Milesian prefix of
" 0" or " Mac" an abomination in the eyes of the
" English garrison," the transition was easy to the aristo-
cratic and once princely title of O'Connor, in which the
descendants of the worthy Essex immigrant or colonist at
present delight—J. O'Connell's Recollections.
