AMERICA.

The royal mail steam-ship Britannia, Capt. Lang,
reached Liverpool on Saturday, and by her we are in re-
ceipt of advices from New York to the 25th, and Halifax
to the 29th ult.

The length of the passage is owing to strong easterly
winds, which continued without intermission during the
whole voyage. Between New York and Halifax the Bri-
tannia encountered violent gales, with a heavy head sea,
which prolonged the run between those ports fully 34 hours
beyond the usual time. The Europa, Captain Lott, ar-
rived at Halifax on the 22nd ult., in 81 days ; and at New
York on the 25th ult., at 2 o'clock p.m., in 11 days from
Liverpool. The United States steam-ship had arrived
out. The steam-ship Forth arrived at New Orleans on
the 23rd ult.

The royal mail steam-ship Niagara, Capt. Ryrie, which
left Boston on the Ist inst., came up the river last night,
about ten o'clock.

The steam-propeller, Sarah Sands, arrived at New York
on the 28th ult., in sixteen days and a-half. The steam-
ship Europa arrived at New York on the 25th ult., having
made the shortest trip from Liverpool to New York on
record, being an hour or two less than eleven days, inclu-
ding the stay at Halifax.

The barque Carmelite, of Bangor, from Fayal for Bog-
ton, was wrecked in a hurricane on the 20th Sept. The
captain, two mates, five seamen, and four passengers,
were saved ; nine passengers, (three of them females,) and
one seaman, were drowned. _ _

A contract has been signed for the conveyance of
monthly mail across the Isthmus,fromChagres to Panama,
and thence by steam-ship to California and Oregon.
Advices from Venezuela to the 19th September state
that President Monagas bad re-issued the decree of May
11, declaring Maracaibo in a state of blockade. Paez was
endeavouring to raise a contribution among his followers,
but failed.

The Indians have again been committing depredations
in Texas, but in most cases they were defeated.
Despatches from Campeachy state that the Indians, to
the number of 10,000, attacked Taxcaba again, and com-
pelled the whites to fall back upon Saluta. The latter
lost 200 men. Acosta was ationg the killed.
The United States troops heve formally evacuated the
state Chihuhua.

The news from Mexico represents the country as being
on the verge of a great crisis.
It appears that a pronunciamento has been issued in Tam-
pico, proclaiming not only the independence of that state,
but its annexation to the United States. Santa Alma's
return was expected at the head of a great army, and a
terrible state of anarchy was expected. The New York
Morning Herald,—" If Tampico succeed in carrying out
her designs of independence, her example will be followed
by other states of the republic, and in a few years the
whole country will be begging to be annexed to the
United States. It may possibly be, that the question of
annexing the whole of Mexico will be the great issue in
the Presidential election of the year 1852."
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTlON.—According to all appear-
ances, there is every probability that the coming election
will be one of tke closest and most hotly contested, if not
the mast so,:of any that has ever taken place in that coun-
try. The most important of the preliminary elections
that have taken place, are those of Pennsylvania and
Ohio, the returns of which, next month, will, no doubt,
settle the question of the Presidency. We are in the dark
as yet, and we shall remain so until the end of November.
Money was easier at New York. The extreme rate of
interest on first-class mercantile paper was ten per cent.
per annum. Foreign exchange was in limited demand,
with a fair supply of bills on the market. Bankers asking
1081 to 1081 for sterling. Good commercial bills, drawn
against produce were to be had at 108. Nothing doing
in Exchange on Paris.

NEW YORK, OCTOBER 30, P.M.
FLOUR, &c.—Our Market for Western Flour opened with
more buoyancy, and a good degree of activity; the demand
being principally for the home trade, the enquiry for export la
limited.—There was but little done on 'Change, the market
closing without animatiou. The sales for the day reach
7000 bbls. at 35 182 to $5 25 for mixed Western and com-
mon State; 525 to $5 34 for straight brands of both ;
$5 311 to 35 37/ for favourite Wisconsin and good New Or-
leans ; 371 to 35 44 for pure Genesee ; B's 621 to s's 871 for
fancy ; and .B'6 to S 6 50 for extra. Of the above sales about 2,500
bbls. were for export ; 500 bbls. City Mills at 35 25, and 900 bbls.
New Orleans on private terms. Southern is drill at S 5 50 to
.85 62/. Rye Flour is steady with sales 400 bbls. at 23 50 to
33 5,31. Corn Meal is without change, with sales of 250 bbls.
at 33 311.t0 $3 371, the latter price for the premium Meal.
GRAlN.—Wheat continues heavy and depressed, particularly
the low grades. Genesee is in moderate supply and held firmly
at SI 26 t 0•5127, with buyers at SI 25 ; of Western the sales are
2500 bushels good Ohio at .3110 ; 2500 do. do. on private terms;
1800 bushelacommon Chicago at 81 02, and a small lot of South-
ern on terms not made known, closing heavy. Rye is inactive
iat 67 cents. Oats are rather firmer at 33 to 34 cents. Barley s
lower, with sales of 6000 bushels good two and four rowed at
69 to 70c. Corn is less buoyant, particularly the low grades ;
the sales are only 30,000 bushels at 65c. for wearily Southern;
67 to 68c. for Western mixed ; 71c. for round white ; and 72 to
73c. for Jersey, Pennsylvania and Northern yellow closing dull.
I.PacivisioNs.—There is less doing in Ohio Pork.; the market
is still ratherunsettled. We quote mess inactive and nominal
at 312 621 to 312 75. In prime 108 bbls. are reported at S 8 621,
it is, however, held at 38 75. Beef is dull at 89 511 to .310 for
mess, and 35 to S 5 50 for prime. Beef hams are selling in
small lots at hl2. Lard is very quiet, 100 bbls. prime sold at
71 cts.. Slaughtered hogs command 52 to 6c. ; 300 sold to be
delivered before- the close of navigation, at 6c. per lb. Butter
and cheese are dull of sale, and the market droops.
Wnisiter.—The market is heavy; 100 bbls. prisan and 75
hhds drudge sold at 24c., time and interest.
NEW YORK COTTON MARKET, NOEVEMBER IsT.—For the
week closing on Tuesday, the 24th instant, the sales were 8,000
bales, and as the market was amply supplied throughout, buyers
had daily the advantage. A considerable portion of these
sales, however, as well as those of the week just closed, were
of parcels to be taken from the wharf by southern samples,
free of expense to sellers, and as the classification was not
usually so high, as that adopted by the trade, the quotation of
such sales exhibited in periods a greater nominal decline than
in fact existed. On Saturday, the sales reached 1,200 bales,
with less samples, on sales, and as a consequence better prices
were paid for desirable parcels. The sales yesterday were 900
bales, with a steady market.
The closing quotations in this market were as annexed :

The Sumter, Ala., Whig, says that the cotton crop

that, owing to the fine weather, the crop throughout all South
Alabama will be much larger than last year.—New yorit Sun,
November 1. _ . _

FREIGHTS.—Rates were rather slack to European ports.

asked; beef wcs taken at 4s. and heavy goods at 30s. To
London. cheese was taken at 30s.

BALTIMORE, Oct, 20.
The market for flour is scarcely so firm as Saturday, and to
effect sales to any extent, holders have to submit to a decline.
Howard-street we quote at .85,182, and City Mills 85,25; priine,
white wheat is• selling in a small way at 1,12 to al,is and MI
1,08 to $1,09; sales 15,000 bushels Corn at 60c. for white, and

HAVANA, OCT. 16, 1848.—The stock of Sugar is reduced to
a very insignificant quantity, and purchases made since our
last report, were, in some instances, at an advance of vial 00
the rates then named. There is scarcely any, left in the coun-
try, and what is held here, is in the hands of very firm planters,
who have high views. We continue our last quotations,
although it would be difficult to make up a cargo without
submitting to higher prices : Assorted kinds, 52 to 12, r°
92 rials ;• ordinary whites, 7to 74 rials; good to fine whites, 72
to 84 vials; choice whites, 9 to 94 rills; superior and florete
yellows, 52 to 62 vials; ood to fine yellows 5i to 64 rlals
browns 51 to 64 rials ; eucuruches 44 to 5 rials. Of 31usco-
vadoes there is little or nothing left.

A letter from Rotterdam of the 6th instant, states that
the cholera, which appeared there on the Ist instant, has
raged with great violence. On the preceding day 41 new'
cases were declarel, and 29 deaths, whilst there were but
seven recoveries. During the previous five days there had
been 298 eases, 157 deaths, 121 recoveries, and 16 remained
under cure.
