the mixture or substitution of inferior Coals for those of esta.

COMPANY have determined supply the Public direct, and
have availed themselves oft ' opportunity to make a coipii•
derable Reduction in Pr' , at the same time that a genuine

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

AMERICA

By the Royal mail steam-ship Europa, Captain Lott,
which arrived in the Mersey on Sunday, at nine o'clock
a.m., we have advices from New York to the 23rd ultimo.
The Europa brings a large number of passengers and
£lOO,OOO in specie on freight.
The Asia, Captain Judkins, hence, reached New York
at Eleven o'clock a.m. on the 23rd ult.
There had been numerous arrivals at New York, by
Which we have advices from California to the 15th of
September. The Crescent City arrived at New York on
the 18th ultimo, w:th a large number of passengers, and
1,222,500 dollars in golddust : the steamer Tennessee was
at Panama, with 1,000,000 dollars in golddust ; the steam-
ship Philadelphia arrived at New York on the 19th ult.,
with about 1,000,000 dollars in golddust, on freight and in
the hands of passengers ; and on the 22nd, the Ohio ar-
rived at the same port, bringing a large amount of specie
belonging to passengers ; on the 22nd the Pacific reached
New Orleans with 800,000 dollars in golddust.
From our Californian advices we learn that a financial
crisis had been experienced in consequence of the failure
of one of the most extensive banking and trading houses,
which was followed by a suspension on the Hart of two
other houses and one private banker. This created a run
upon all the other banking-houses, but which, excepting
in one instance, was succes,fully met, tending greatly to
a renewal of confidence. An expedition up the Klamath
an 1 Umplua rivers had resulted in the discovery of rich
gold mines. From the mines our accounts are conflict-
ing, alnough of an encouraging character. In San Fran-
cisco improvements are very rapidly made ; handsome
four-story brick houses having in many instances sprung
ap in the district recently destroyed by fire, and the
streets were under process of draining, &c.
Price of gold dust Sl6 to Sl6 25c. Exchange on
London, 30 days, S 4 83c. per pound.

The fugitive slave excitement continued in the States.
The Pennsylvania Abolition Convention had held a meet-
ing, at which Frederick Douglas and, other coloured per-
sons were expected to speak, but, hearing that persons
claiming them as fugitive slaves were in pursuit, they had
to decamp. The papers are filled with details of suits at
law for the recovery of fugitive slaves. Despatches had
been received at Washington from the commander of the
American Arctic Expedition ; the despatches are dated
off Pert Leopold. August 22. On the 19th they fell in
with the vessels under the charge of Captain Penny, and
on the 21st with the Felix, Sir J. Ross.
From Kingston Jamaica, we have advices to the 13th
ultimo. Six deaths from cholera had occurred at Port
Royal and one at Kingston. In reference to Mexican
affairs the Tribune says, that before the close of the extra
session of Congress a great reduction would be made in
the tariff, and that prohibitions on various articles would
be abolished. By the advices from Port-au-Prince, we
learn that there was every probability of a war of exter-
mination between the Haytians and Dominicans.
It was reported at Panama, that a revolution, headed
by General Flores, was about to be attempted against the
public of Grenada.
We learn from Cincinnati that, on the 21st ultimo, an
an officer from Glasgow (Scotland), arrested a person who
some short time since absconded from one of the Gies-
jow banks ; 1,4(10 dollars were recovered, and he was dis-
charged from custody.

INDIA.
EXPRESS FROM MALTA

-The state of India is as satisfactory as could be desired.
Everywhere the most complete tranquillity prevails, and
even our unruly neighbours, the Afredees, have abstained

from acts of viOlence

The latest act of politeness that we have heard of in a
public way is told of the Afredees, who sent word to
Captain Coke on the 18th September, that if he did not
withdraw his most advanced post in the Kohat, they
would come down and do the work of clearance for him.
• The officers who were on their trial by court-martial at
Cawnpore at the departure of the last mail, for having
broken their arrest and fought a duel, have been sen-
tenced to be cashiered. Sir Charles Napier has pardoned
Ensign Huxam, who was wounded, but Lieutenants
"White, Smith, and Lietchfield lose their commissions.
