was not preceded by any fresh collision of the two armies.
The passage of the Danube was effected with order, and
the Turks were not interrupted in making it. At the
same time the Turks evacuated Kalarache and Oiurgevo.
The outposts of Osten Sacken's army had passed through

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA.
Br the British and North American Royal Mail steam-
ship Niagara, Capt. Leitch, we have intelligence from
New York to the 10th inst.

The Niagara sailed from Boston at 1 35, p.m., on the
9th, and at 4 26, a.m., on the 11th, arrived at Halifax.
At 7 30, a.m., she passed the steamer America, hence,
going into Halifax. She was abreast Cape Clear at 7 30,
a.m., on the 19th, arrived at the Bar at 6 46, a.m., on
Sa+- -day, and - - Rock T ' '

tur saluted the _ Light at 10 50, a.m.
The Niagara has brought sixty-one passengers, and
$104,000 in specie on freight.
The steam-ship Africa, Capt. Harrison, from this port,
arrived at New York on the 4th inst.
The steamer St. Gammen had arrived at New Orleans

from srazo Santiago, with 4106,372 in specie on freight.
The steam-ships El Dorado and Daniel Webster had
arrived at New Orleans, with advices from San Francisco
to the 16th ult., and $50,000 in gold dust.
The steam-ships Sierra Nevada and Golden Gate sailed
from San Francisco ounthe 16th, the former with
$1,200,000 and the latter illth $1,135,000 in gold dust, en
route for New York.

The steam-ship George 'Law, which left Aspinwall on
31st ult., for New York, with_sl,ooo,ooo in gold dust,

has arrived.
The New York papers state that it was the intention of
Captain Joseph Comstock, of the Collins steamer Baltic,
to resign the command of that steam-ship on her arrival
at New York, to superintend the construction, and after-
wards take command of, the mammoth steamer building
for the Pall River trade. Captain Eldridge, well known
in the New York and Liverpool trades, is announced to
succeed Captain Comstock.
New Orleans papers of the 3d announce that the first
mate and four of the crew of the British ship Liverpool
had arrived at New Orleans. They report that the ship,
which was bound from Shields for New York, foundered
at sea, carrying down with her the captain, Williams,
his wife, a lady passenger, and thirteen of the crew.
The redemption of Government Stock, at the United
States Treasury, Washington, for the week ending the
sth inst., amounted to $1,341,000. The following are the
descriptions and amount of each stock redeemed:—Loan
of 1842, $156,300 ; Ditto 1843, $44,300 ; Ditto 1846,
$66,000; Ditto 1847, $271,200; Ditto 1848, $97,300.
Holland Loan, $696,000. Total, $1,341,100.
The result of the New York State election was a victory
to the Whigs, and the Democrats had carried New Jersey.
The Neapolitan Minister, Signor Marticelli, had died at
his official residence.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing on the 7th, says,—" It is understood the
President, in his message, will cons e. out pretty definitely
subject of the Pacific railroad, and in such a
.s to satisfy the strictest constructionist. He has
_.cared that the project, as pressed in the last Congress,
(Senator Gwinn's bill,) never could have his•sanction; and
he has intimated pretty clearly that if suck a bill is passed
by Congress during his presidency, it will have to over-
come a veto before it becomes the law of the land. The
President's feeling upon the subject of internal improve-
ments by the general government may be gathered from
the fact that he declares he sees no reason, now to change
the views he formerly held on that question, and that his•
votes in Congress at the time show truly his present posi-
tion. The Garay and Tehuantepec grant will beendorsed,
by the administration, and the treaty negotiated by
Judge Conkling, recognising the Sloe grant, will, not
be noticed in any way, on the ground that therevas no
authority given to Conkling to negotiate a treaty,,and that
the Sloo grant is a diplomatic fraud to get rid of the
Garay grant. The President will recommend a
.general
system of reciprocal trade with the British provinces, of
all articles the growth and product of each country, and
the admission of fish, duty' free, upon our fishermen being
permitted to fish unrestrictedly on the coasts of Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick. The .proposition of the English• G-
overnment to permit colonial, vessels to obtain American
registers will not be opposed, but the suggestion to throw
open the coasting trade of California will be rejected. as
unconstitutional. A complete. revision of the tariff will,
it is confidently stated, be suggested ; and with this view- •
the Secretary of the Treasury is busily engaged in pie,
paring voluminous data, to show, the consumption of the: '
several articles of trade, and will,suggest important modi-
fications in all such articles as come under the head of
necessaries. It is yet doubtful whether any material,
modifications will be made in the duty do iron ; but, not-
withstanding the most urgent remonstrances of the
manufacturers of railroad iron in the United States, it is,
believed a repeal of the duty on that particular article will
be recommended. The Secretary of the Navy will recom-
mend an entire revision of the personnel and materiel of
the navy, being fully impressed with the worthlessness of
the existing system. A retired list and increase of pay to
the sailors will form a prominent feature in his report.
Perhaps the most important feature of the message will be
its allusion to the position of the Sandwich Islands, and
the bold avowal of the importance of their being annexed
to the United States. Depend upon it the President will
take this ground, and it will, probably, be the immediate
cause of parties resolving themselves back.to their original
elements. The Secessionists and Abolitionists flying off

Mr. M`Kay's monster ship Great Republic- was about to
leave Boston for New York to load for Liverpool ; it being
the intention, on her arrival here, either to sell her or
place her on the berth for Australia. The town of Green
Bay, Wisconsin, had been visited by a very destructive
fire. Property to the amount of £lOO,OOO was destroyed.
The suspension of Patchin's Bank, Buffalo, had been
announced, with very large liabilities. The powder-mill
of Mr. Bean, situate at Spencer, Massachusetts, had
exploded, killing five persons. It is stated that about sixty
kegs of powder exploded.
The news from California is meagre. The city of Sonora
had been destroyed by fire, and the loss of property will
amount to about $300,000 dollars. The mining news is
encouraging. The Supreme Court of California has made
an important decision, declaring valid all grants- made in
accordance with the Mexican law. The effect of this will
be to oust hundreds from the lots held by them for years,
and restore them to the original grantees.. It is considered
a death blow to the squatters, and will cause millions of
property to change hands, by the mere operation of law.
The magnetic telegraph is working from. San. Jose to San
Francisco. Murders and outrages are occurring through-
out the State, to an alarming extent. John Mitchell, the
Irish rebel, who recently escaped from Australia, arrived
safely with his family at San Francisco, on the. 12th of
October. The San Francisco markets are still depressed,
owing to the high price of money, as well as the heavy
imports. Flour, however, has recovered from the extreme
depression. The sales of the fortnight amounted t 0,11,000,
barrels, at $l3 to $l5 for Gallego and Haxall brands.
Clear pork, $2B; mess, $26 ; bacon hams, 160. • lard dull,
at 14c. for kegs ; whisky, 55c.; cheese, 17c...; ;damantino
candles, 25c.
From Hayti we have accounts to the 23rd ult. The•
yellow fever was prevailing on the island to an alarming
extent, particularly at Port-au-Prince. Almost all the
ships in the harbours had lost portions of their crews by
the epidemic.

From Havana the accounts are to the sth instant. The
demand for sugar was principally for Cucuruchos, brown
and yellow, whilst, with a few exceptions, whites had
been neglected. Molasses in good demand, at slightly
advanced prices. Freights had declined, and closed as
follow :—To London and the Clyde, 6554 Falmouth and a
market, 70s. Exchange on London, 11 to, 114 per cent.
premium ; Paris, 2 to 24 per cent. discount.
Advices from Hamilton (Bermuda), of the Ist instant,
report the yellow fever as still prevailing with virulence.
The men belonging to the 56th Regiment had, suffered.
severely. The wife of Receiver-General Smith had died
of the disease.

From the Sandwich Islands the news is important. Dr.
Judd had been removed from the office of Minister of
Finance, and Elisha H. Allen, late U.S. consul, appointed
in his place. A decided step had been taken. towards an-
nexation to the United States. The French and British
consuls had protested to the King against such an act,
and the American commissioners had replied in a firm
but dignified manner. This movement had caused the
greatest excitement in the islands.
The British steamer Lima arrived at Panama on the
16th ult. with 5360,000 dollars, and advices from Valparaiso
to the Ist inst., and Callao to the 10th. At Valparaiso
business was brisk, with flour selling at nine dollars and
a half per barrel. Freights to England ranged from £4
to £4 ss, and to California $l9. Several vessels had arrived
from England. The Chilian mining operations were pros-
perous, and the country tranquil. The prospects of the
wheat crop in the south were excellent. In Peru all was
quiet, and there was no prospect of a war with Brazil.

Late accounts from Yucatan state that the cholera was
raging there to a fearful extent. At Moyda the deaths
averaged one hundred per day. Thousands of railroad
hands and workmen had been discharged, and works sus-
pended in the Western States, in consequence of the strin-
gency of the money markets. The yellow fever had ceased
its terrible ravages in nearly all the cities and towns of
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, and the frightened
people were fast returning to their homes and avocations.
Governor Lane, of Oregon, at the head of some United
States troops and a company of volunteers, is reported to
have had a terrific battle with the Indians in the Umpqua
Valley, in which the red men were defeated and compelled
to sue for peace. The governor was severely but not clan..
gerously wounded

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Nnw Yous, Nov. 10,
MONEY AID STOCKS.—The stock market has been
more buoyant, and prices have had rather an improving
tendency. Quotations generally, however, are not abso-
lutely higher. There has been very little business done in
foreign exchange, and the quotations on London stand at
1091. Money is easier, but the demand continuing active

there is no change in the rate of interest. v

The stock of unsold cotton in this market is small, and
composed chiefly of grades below middling ; our domestic

the past two weeks, purchased rather freely up to i'Vedne-
day last, since when their operations have been limited.
There are few, if any, orders, executable, at present, on
hand for foreign account ; and shipments on American
account are prevented by the large margin required, or by
difficulty in negotiating during the present monetary pres-
sure. The total sales since the Ist instant to last evening
have been 6,140 bales ; of which 2,267 bales were for export,
chiefly for Liverpool ; 2,945 bales for home use, and 928
bales on speculation. Prices ore slightly advanced on
some grades. The export, during same time has been, to
Liverpool, 2,550 bales ; Glasgow, 60 ; Hamburgh, 297 ;
Antwerp, 276. Total, 3,183 bales. The Charleston and
Savannah markets have advanced, owing to the upward

movement here and the better prices in Liverpool advised
per Niagara and Arctic. In New Orleans and Mobile,
however, the market has continued to droop under, a
