machinery. The disaster was expected to be rectified in

The St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad was to be
opened on the 15th. Jenny Lind was to give a concert at
Toronto, on the 17th. The value of iron imported into
the United States from October, 184 z to June 30, 1850,
was 71,624,832 dollars. The President had issued orders
to the military commandents on the frontier to prevent
an invasion of Mexico by American citizens.
We learn from Toronto that the new Canadian Ministry,
as far as announced, is composed as follows :—Mr. Hincks,
Inspector-General;: Dr. Ra!ph, President of the Council ;
Malcolm Cameron, Postmaster-General William Mor-
ris,. Commissioner of Crown Lands;: Si. B. Richards,
Attorney-General for the Western Province; Mr. Drum-
mond, Attorney-General for the East ; Mr. Morin, Pro-
vincial Secretary. Three other members of the Cabinet
have yet to be appointed.
Advices from Vera Cruz, to the 4th. instant, had been
received at New Orleans. Accounts from the city of
Mexico, to the 7th instant, represent the Government to
be in great confusion, and almost without resources, the
Treasury being at the lowest ebb. Many ineffectual
efforts had been made to form a new Cabinet. The ac-
counts of the revolution in the northern provinces had not
reached the capital. The liberating army were still on a
successful move, and had taken the town of Reynosa, with
but little resistance. One field-piece and a quantity of
other arms fell into their hands.

A letter dated Syracuse. October /6, says, " Warrants
have been issued for the arrest of a number of our pro-
minent citizens, who are charged with assisting at the late
slave rescue."

In the New York money-market a great stringency
continued to be experienced, and high prices had to be
made' for accommodation ; for sterling exchange there
was but a moderate inquiry, and drawers were rather
firmer. The leading houses asked. 10* for sterling, but
the market ranges from 91 to 10.1, with but little inquiry.
Several failures are announced at Salem, amongst them
Mr. Pingree, whose liabilities are nominally stated at
7750,000, and his assets at $250,000.
Cotton has declined lc. per lb., with very light sales,
but on the 14th the market showed signs of activity.

being scarce, the stock and shipments amounting to

The indemnity subscription bad reached 150,000 dollars.

CHAIILESTON OCT, 12.—There was very little demand
for cotton to-day ; forced sales to the extent of 1,000
