The fine steam-ship Acadia arrived at this port on Sun-
day morning, about one o'clock, amid a heavy gale from

The Acadia has made a fine run across
tae Atlantic. as usual, though she has had to contend with
strong gales and heavy seas. Her lowest rate of steaming,
per diem, was 207 miles ; the highest, 256. For the first
day or two atter her departure from Halifax she had fine
weather, but on the 2lst instant she was Pursued by a
tremendous gale from the west. After another short in-
terval of fine weather she, on the 26th, encountered a
succession of heavy squalls. On the two following days
she bad to contend against a furious gale of wind with a
heavy swell, in which she behaved nobly. She left Bos-
ton on the 16th and Halifax, where she was detained three
hours, on the 18th instant, thus making the passage in
little more than twelve days. She brings twenty-six
passengers, of whom the following is a list

haviug performed the passage in 111 days.
The operations in exchange, per this pacicet, were
limited, and some decline in rates took place. This had
a corresponding effect on specie, and there was but little
inquiry for any description for investor nt. No silver
bad been shipped to England, and that taken to France
would not far exceed 800,000 dollars. The premium on
silver had, therefore, declined considerably. The follow-
ing are the quotations of exchange :—London, 104 to
109 ; Paris, 5.261; and Amsterdam, 39/. The Stock mar-
ket was firm in all good stock.
The operations in corn had been extensive. They were,
however, exclusively confined to the demand for domestic
consemption. We quote for Genesee 4.50 dollars; Mi-
chigan and Ohio, flat hoop, 4.434 to 4.50 dollars; Ohio,
round hoop, 4.56 dollars; Troy, 4.45 t 14.50 dollars. Rye
flour, 2.874 dollars. Corn Meal, northern, 2.75 to 2,814-
dollars. The operations in grain are more extensive than
in flour. Wheat was active, and the sales for the past
week had been quite large at 94 to 95 cents for new
Western, which is the principal description offered. Corn
is quite brisk. We quote for North River, at 53 to 54
cents, weight and measure; Southern, 50 to 51 cents,
weight and measure. Oats are held at 25 to 261 cents.
Rye, 65 cents. .

The inqliry for ashes was moderate. Pots had been
steady at 4.50, and Pearls were selling, in small parcels,

at 5.25

The state of the cotton trade we give below. The mails
received on the 14th instant in New York had brought
accounts of " frost " at Charleston. There is a great
ditfereoce, however, in the "first frost." The one in
question was a white frost, the operation of which was to
open the bolls ; throw the cotton nut to the sun ; and
thereby bring it to maturity earlier. It is a hard or
" black frost" which stops the developement of the cotton
and stains it. This had not yet occurred.

The religious world was much engaged in discussing
Puseyism. At the late Convention of the clergy and laity
of the diocese of New York, the bishop had a decided
majority in his favour, and subsequently upwards of sixty
of the clergy waited on him at his house, and knelt to
receive his blessing. A majority of the American bishops
are, however, opposed to any attempt to " unprotestan-
tise" the Episcopal Church.
The loss of the Missouri had been deeply felt. It is
proposed to Send out her consort, the Mississippi, to the
Med i

The Park Theatre was crowded to see Macready. He
retained all his popularity, and was making a great deal
as much, it was thought, as £4OO a-week, for

of money

four nights' performance.
The Legislative Council of Canada, in reply to a mes-
sage from the Governor-General, bad decided in favour
of Montreal as the seat of the colonial government.

The south of Peru was still disturbed. The exiled
general, Santa Cruz, had retired from Ecuador, where he
resided, to New Granada, that his presence might not
injure the treaty in contemplation between Bolivia and
Ecuador.
