LATEST FROM AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA. Cseejs'
The North American Royal mail steam-ship ,
Captain Judkins, arrived in the river last night s' .ty
o'clock from America. She left New York on the:,
and Halifax on the 10th instant, having made the P
from the latter port in less than ten days. She has boil'
59 passengers, a list of whom we soin :
The intelligence by this arrival is übjunimportant, e o,la
the advices from California, which we give elsewhere',4
which, it will' be seen, are as exciting and ronutollenew
even more so—than any previously received. Fort , %op,
territory nothing could be done in the shape of legisieti.
as the American Congress was approaching its eons
tional demise, having only about three weeks to live, left
it is, therefore, to be feared that California will be ic
with its heterogeneous population, absolved from ell 1111
but such as the settlers may adopt for themselves• ty
passion for migrating there continued unabated, be tiob
cost of getting thither necessarily confined the emig°
to persons of some means. jThe application pending in Congress by the he'ro
Aspinwall and Co., of New York, for a contract duo°,
term of years to convey over the railway which thefTty
pose to construct across the Isthmus of Panama tthg
mails, &c., of the United States government, met Wl'ol
much opposition as to render its success problem' 're.
this session. That firm has, however, paid the sulawt
quired by the government of New Grenada, and an eltyd
party has been despatched to make an estimate o
work. The road, it is said, will be made.
The bill for lowering and equalising duties between,p
Canadas and New Brunswick and America on the itel,,N
tation of grain, lumber, flour, animals, &c., is likell;ry
defeated. The representatives of the Southern agriew.isl
interests specially oppose the bill as tending to dims"
the value of their own agriculture.

A considerable business had been done at New vt,)
Foreign Exchange. Bills on London were sold from

The February dividend on the Public Debt of Peneie
vania has been paid, but half of it in " relief" e(),bo
which, on an average, are 21 per cent. below par,
robbing the public creditors of .8123,000, and leavie6
unworthy taint on the good faith of the United States.:0„`1,
The intelligence received at New Orleans on the ~
ultimo from the Peninsula of Yucatan which has bee„. to Indian devastations, indicates 'the renewed SW:
macy of the white race. Aided by a regiment of volu'
teers from the United States commanded by Col. Ge'lr,v.,,
W. White and Lieut. Colonel Besancon, the Yueste;
seem to have completely triumphed over their foes,
captured towns and cities which the Indians had occupy
—and thoroughly discomfited their adversaries.

From Mexico the news continues to indicate stsu'
and efficiency in the administration of President Bare, ,'".

NEW YORK, Feb. 7ttit;i4
The principal trade at this season of the year in Flour for
Grain being for city use, the demand has become light allliro
market free from excitement, The supply from New Oveaoi

the trade, the decrease in stock has not been enough to pre: of

the advance in prices has attracted cotton from the interior'
