ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA.
Ryrie, arrived here on Sunday morning at seven o'cloce,
The splendid royal mail steam-ship Niagara, CaPtBlll
having left New York on the 13th instant, and Halifax on
the 16th. She has made the quickest passage yet acconi"
'dished from New York, having occupied in the run froth
that port, including the detention at Halifax, only eleven
and a half days.
The screwy steamer Sarah Sands left New York on the
Bth inst., for this port.
The Europa steam-ship, Captain Lott, reached Nest
York on the 13th, after a very smart passage of little
more than eleven days.
An extensive drought prevailed in New York and the
adjoining states, and will have a bad effect on the growing
crops of corn.
On the Bth instant, several violent shocks of earthquake
were felt at New York, Brooklyn, &c. The noise resem-
bled distant thunder, and in one or two places the doors
and window-shutters were forced open.
Advices from Campeachy (Yucatan) state that the
whites have been every where successful throughout the
peninsula, and Yucatan has been united to Mexico, which
is to pay Yucatan 140,000 dollars.
All was quiet in Mexico. Paredes was supposed to be
at Tamaulicas, without having the power to offer further
opposition to the government.
The port of Maracaibo (Venezuela) was still blockaded,
and no vessel allowed to enter. Skirmishes were dailY
taking place between the contending parties.
A most disastrous fire took place in Brooklyn, on the
9th inst., which destroyed nearly three hundredbuildine
including three churches, and immense quantitiesof gencle'
merchandife, and furniture, amounting to between an
million and a million and a half of dollars. It commenced
in Fulton-street, and spread along Henry-street, Cran-
berry, Orange, Liberty, Concord, Washington, and Nas-
sau-streets. Whilst the flames were raging, several houses
were blown ap by order of the Mayor. Several lives WO
lost. The appearance of the city after the fire was dis‘
tressing churches and churchyards- were filled with fa:
niture, embracing every household article, from a tear 3"
to a sofa—from a child's chair to a massive bureau. Thl
tables, fragments of alabaster Washingtons, Clays,
streets were covered with broken glass, legs of chairs an
lins, and Taylors; areas were choked with carpets, mat-
tresses, feather beds, and crockery. The places of worship
destroyed were the Universalist Church, the first Methodist
Episcopal Church, and the Baptist Chapel. The post-
office was also destroyed. Nearly two hundred familice
have been rendered homeless. The area over which the
fire extended was about ten acres. Many cf the building
destroyed were of the fittest description, being five or 0
stories high, and erectedwithin the last two years.
The Presidential election still continues to occupy 1°
much attention as ever. The supporters of each cant'
date are yet perfectly sanguine. Mr. Van Buren and ur
neral Taylor seem best supported.
On the-19th ultimo a hurricane was experienced at VII'
tanzas. and another to the westward of Bermuda on the
31st ultimo.
The money-market at Nevr York was steady and react.
stringent, and there was a regular demand for discount;
at the ordinary rate of six and, seven per cent. for Pe,
business paper. The demand for exchange was not VI
Frank-
active; on London the rates for'biils were from 9 Ve94,'
The intelligence from this port; taken out by the giber::
nia, had the effect of causing a good deal of exciteince:
in the provisibn market at New York, where they are
" preparing for large imports of bread stuffs to England'
for considerable importations of coin therefrom, and e
a dull market for cotton, of which the growing crop ‘'l„
be very large." We take the following from the Net'
York Courier of the 13th instant.:—" We must retnar„,"

it ought to do. We assume 470,000' 'bales to have beat
the extreme consumption of the last'- twelve months, it:
the districts usually included, and probably even of the
quantity a portion consists of excess 'of stocks held 1-1
manufacturers on the Ist instant beyond what they hel
on the Ist September, 1847.
We demur to the correctness of the stock reported 0,6
the
in this port, merely because when prices are low and
article unprofitable to holders, much cotton always eseq't
enumeration, in consequence of the necessarily imPecierf
method of counting up our stock, and the indifference,o,
holders to having theircotton sampled and offered for Silt
It will be seen that the stocks remaining on the,ear
instant are stated by us- at 20,000 bales larger than°„iion
ago, but there will probably be a difference of aPiew
this point.

these processes were so much retarded by rains in pa

re-
quired for some weeks to make us feel reasonably
