ARRIVAL. OF THE ASIA

By the British and North American z _
ship Asia, Captain Lott, which arrived on Sunday, we
have advices from New York to the 21st ult.
The Asia sailed from New York at 040, pm., on the
21st, and on the 28th, in lat. 50 48, lon. 28 26, passed the
steamer Arabia, hence for New York ; and at 1, a.m., on
Sunday, the Canada, hence for Boston. The Asia sighted
Holyhead at 5 20 n.m., on Sunday, and arrived in the
river at 9 56, a.m. _ _

nail steam-

The steamer Arctie,which sailed from Liverpool. on the
4th, arrived at New York at 8 10, a.m., on the 18th ult.
The Asia has brought 64 passengers, amongst whom is
Mr. R. Stephenson, 3LP. ; and X 236,000 in specie.
The steamer Hansa,.froni Bremen, arrived at: New York
on the 20th ult., with machinery damaged. She had a
tedious passage of 21 days.
Reports had been-received of the breaking out of yel-
low fever at Philadelphia, but in a very mild fem.. The
advance in the price. of shipbuilding materials in the
United States shows that it now costs twenty-five per
cent. or more to build and equip a ship than it did a few
years back.
Orders had been received at Portsmouth for the United
States squadron to proceed from the fishing coast. to Phila-
delphia and Norfolk.
The Russian, Prassiaa, and Austrian Ministers had
filed in the state department a protest against the conduct
of Captain Ingraham; the commander of the frigate which
was at Smyrna at the time of Kossta's arrest.
The steam-ship Golden Age, which may shortly be ex-
pected here, had beau out on a trial trip. She is fitted
up in a sumptuous style, and her breadth of.beam gives
ample room for between-deck accommodations, and con-
duces very greatly to the comfort of her passengers. She
is 285 feet in length., 434 feet breadth of beam, has 32
feet depth of hold, and is 2,864 tons burthen. She has a
beam-engine of somewhat peculiar construction, the dia-
meter of whose cylinder is 85 inches, with twelve feet
length of stroke.. The boilers are each forty feet in'
length, and are fitted up with furnaces at each, end, the
smoke-funnel ascending- from the centre. By this arrange-
ment, it is claimed that economy in both space and fuel is
gained. During the experimental trip, the furnace-doors
stood open, while the shaft made fourteen-and-a-half
turns per minute, the vessel going at the rate of thirteen
knots. The- hull of the ship is from the yard of Mr.
William H. Rrown.. The lower frames are of live oak,
and the top frames are of locust and cedozi The entire
vessel is double .diagonally braced with iron-liars, five inches
wide by three-quarters of an inch thick, and four feet
apart. She-is celled with eight-inch plaak; the bilge-
kelsons are-fourteen inches square, and: planked outside
with six-inch plank. The steerage is fitted up with ac-
commodation-for 600 passengers. The saloons are paneled
in rose, satin, and zebra woods, with crimson and gold
plush anctrich hangings. In the upper saloon the sides
are finished in white and gold. In this saloon are the
two " family-rooms," labelled " Esperance" and "El
Dorado.'..' One is finished in g01d....,,the other in blue.
Accommodations are offered for one iltausand passengers,
and, at au emergency, twelve hundred persons may find
reasonable quarters on board. There is a large safe on
board.which is intended for the storage of gold-dust during
a voyage. In the purser's room is & smaller safe, for the
temporary security of smaller articles belonging to the
passengers. The crew numbers„ when complete, one
hundred and twenty men. After the Age had passed the
Wilt-ship she tacked and ran back. the the Hook, when the
steam-ship Atlantic, which left port at noon, showed her-
self at about half-past one o'clock,. Captain West sent his
vessel down to meet his new rival; and presently the Age
fell astern, for the purpose, as it, afterwards appeared, of
giving the Atlantic a fair start and having a race. The
Atlantic having passed nearly. a length ahead, the order
' was given for the Age to put on steam, which she did
effectually, passing the Atlantic after a race of five or ten
minutes. The cutwater cast up but little spray, and the
ship's wake was quiet. She• will leave New York for
Liverpool, whence she will sail for Australia, in connee-.
tion with the j" Golden Line," despatched by Messrs.,
Millers and Thompson, mid will form the pioneer of the-
new line between the latter and the Pacific coast. For
the present her port will be Panama ; eventually, Aca,
pulco or San. Francisco.
Advises from Mexico city to the 3d ult. state, that ScJecta

Anna had enjoined. all Who have suffered from Wien
depredations to present their claims to the city of Mexico.
He intended to demand restitution, under the treaty of
Guadaloupe Hidalgo. Men employed in digging the Tezeuco
canal had found a, stone case, about half a yard low and
twelve inches wide, with a lid inlaid by means of well-
executed grooves, and which contained a variety of Aztec

antiquities. These had been sent to the National Museum.
The Diarie Official has a long article, bewailing the hor-
rible slaughter, incendiarism, and robberies of the Indians
in the States of Cohuila, Durango, and Sonora.

thing was quiet; business had been resumed, and lias
