LATER FROM AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM SHIP AMERICA.

Tne royal mail steam-ship America, Captain Harrison,
arrived at this port, on Sunday eight, with accounts from
Boston to the 10th instant, and Halifax to the 12th. She

brought ninety passengers.
The Canada arrived at New York on the 4th instant,
after a splendid run of 114 days hence. The Herrman,
steam-ship, reached New York on the 6th, having left
Southampton two days before the Canada left Liverpool.
The Caledonia arrived at Halifax on the 11th, and pro-
ceeded to Boston. The packet-ship Columbus, Captain
Bunker, arrived at New York on the Bth inst., having had
thirty-six deaths among the passengers from cholera.
The political news is of very little interest. The Presi-
dent was about to visit New York. It is stated that there
exists division of opinion in the Cabinet on the Naviga-
tion system question.
There was an active demand for sterling exchange for
the steamer, and drawers were firm at outside quotations ;
94 to 101 for leading bills. In freights more was offering.
Cotton 3s and 75c per bale. Flour, in British bottoms,
18d.
In cotton there was a fair amount of saler. On the day
previous to the steamer sailing the market opened firm,
but holders being pretty free sellers, it closed without
animation. Sales per day 2,000 to 3,000, a large portion
on speculation ; but a rair demand for export. Stock
limited. Mid. fair to fair Orleans 115 to 111 ; for good
middling, 104 to 104; good fair, 125 to 13. The receipts
since the Ist of September were 3,619 bales, against
72,412 bales the same time last year. The stock on hand
is 32,220 bales, against 66,796 bales last year. There was
a fair demand for flour. The market towards the close
of the Bth inst. exhibited less buoyancy, and prices were
heavy. Corn was in fair demand, with pretty tree sales,
common being more plentiful was somewhat easier to buy.
We quote thur western at 3 dols. The. to 4 dols.: com-
mon state and mixed western, 4 dols. 51c. to 4dols. 94e. ;
pure Genessee told southern Ohio, sdols. 25c. to sdols.

DESTRUCTIVE STORM.—During the night of the 6th
instant, a dreadful hurricane visited New York. Several
of the shipping were in jeopardy, but luckily escaped any
severe injury. A new brick house, five stories high, and
just finished, at the corner of Eleventh-street, was blown
down, as was another at the corner of Twenty-eighth
Street. The new Presbyterian church, corner of Twenty-
ninth Street, which was nearly completed, was also de-
molished, and is now a melancholy wreck. The Diorama
in Eighth-street, opposite the Astor-place Theatre, was
shattered to pieces, and the pictures either destroyed or
greatly injured. In Washington-square, in the Park, and
a great number of streets, trees were prostrated. There
were no lives lost, though several persons were seriously
injured by the falling timbers. The same storm swept
over the city of Boston, and there one of the walls of
the brick Universalist chapel fell with a tremendous crash.
Several vessels were very much damaged.
New Orleans accounts of the 7th instant state that the
weather had become cold. The demand for cotton since
the receipt of the Canada's advices was limited ; sales
during week, 5,700 bales; easier prices. Quotations;
good mid. 104. to 135, good fair 125 to 13. Receipts since
Ist September 3,619 bales, against 72,412 last year_
Stock 37,220, against 66,796.
Freights at New Orleans were quoted thus : 1,200 bales
cotton had been engaged to Havre at 4 cents ; and two
ships to load for Liverpool at 7-16 d. A slight injury bad
occurred to one of the city levees.
The men lately gathered at Round-island are rapidly
dispersing—their intended expedition to Cuba, or some-
where else having been either frustrated or postponed.
EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES.--AD idea of the
number of emigrants that have reached this city this
year, may be formed from the fact, for which we are in-
debted to Major Frazer, that between the first of April
and the first of October this year, the number of arrivals
averaged eight hundred and ninety-six per day, or a frac-
tion over thirty-three per hour. This is an increase of
about thirty-five thousand on the number of arrivals dur-
ing the same period last year.—New York Herald, Oc-
tober 9.

DISASTROUS 'SHIPWRECK. —Durin EZ the dreadful -storm
which occurred at Boston on the 9th inst, the British
brig St. John dragged her anchors, and struck on the
Grampus rocks. "The vessel soon went to pieces. The
captain, officers, and crew took to the boat and landed
safely, but the majority of the passengers were drowned,
the number of whom is variously given at 114 and 150.
Only about fourteen of these reached the shore in safety,
having floated on pieces of the wreck. It appears proba-
ble that about one hundred lives were lost. Some anxiety
was felt about the packet-ship Washington Irving, but it
appears that that vessel got a good offing before the gale
came on. Several other vessels drifted ashore, but it isex-
pected that they will be got of with little damage.
'CALIFORNIA.—The Palcon had arrived at New Orleans,
for Chagres, Ist October, with 70,000 dollars, and San
Francisco dates of Ist September. The steamer Panama
brought 500,000 dollars in gold dust, and 150 passengers.
She arrived at Panama on the 22nd instant, The Isthmus
of Panama was quite healthy. The road from Chagres
to the Pacific coast had been much improved. A letter
from San Francisco states that a constitution will be
formed, and members of a legislature be elected under it
by the Ist of November.

A letter from Rome, of the 11th inst., states that the
Pope is expected to return in the first week in November.
A NEW CHURCH AT CAPE CLEAR.—Last week
new Church in connexion with the establishment was
opened at this almost uncivilized spot. The morning
prayer was read in Irish by the Rev. Edward Spring, the
Psalms and Lessons by the Rev. James Freke ; the
Litany, in Irish, by the Rev. W. M. Crosthwaite (for-
merly vicar of Clear); the Communion Service, in Irish,
by the Rev. Thomas Moriarty ; the Epistles, as also sub-
sequently the prayer for the whole Church Militant, by
the Venerable the Archdeacon. After singing in Irish a
portion of the 135th Psalm, the Rev. Thomas Moriarty
delivered an impressive sermon, first in Irish and after-
wards in English, from the concluding verses of St. Ma-
tbew's Gospel, in which he alluded forcibly to the striking
and interesting circumstances under which they were
assembled to preach the faith once delivered tit the saints,
and to proclaim the same truth as it is in Jesus which had
already in ages past been preached upon the same shores
by Sts. Patrick and Kiern. The congregation amounted
to upwards of 150, and the Irish portion joined most
fervently in the responses in their own language.
Lr.ssoNs.—ln another column will be found the ad-
vertisement of Mrs. Goodmane, whose tact for giving
instructions is highly spoken of by her pupils. The
information thus received secures a respectable and lucra-
tive business, which will, underany advene circumstances,
psceurc a living for life,
