ARRIVAL OF THE SARAH SANDS.
The splendid auxiliary screw steamship, Sarah Sanas'
Captain Thompson, arrived here yesterday. She left
New York on the sth instant, and has brought £60,000
specie, and twenty-eight passengers. The Sarah Sands
spoke the Niagara at ten a.m. on Sunday, off Ballycotton-

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.
The magnificent new steamship America, Captain Jud-
kins,—of the Cunard line,—arrived in the river shortly
after the Sarah Sands. This is the first homeward passage
of this fine vessel, and she has accomplished the distance
from New York in eleven days and a half, being, we b 7
lieve, the shortest passage on record. She left New York
on the 10th, and has brought specie to the amount el
£lOO,OOO, together with 109 passengers.
The steamship Britannia arrived at Boston on the 7111
instant.

There was not so good a prospect of peace as when the
previous intelligence left. The state of Mexico has giveno
its vote for Gen. Herrera as President, he receiving
out of 166 votes. It seemed to be thought that the re-
cent treaty between Mexico and America would not re-
ceive the sanction of that country.
The Trish throughout the states were holding tneetiags
"for the purpose of giving a further Irish response to the
late news from Ireland."
The most conflicting accounts of the condition ofVe-

COTTON.—Since the arrival of the steamer America, the intr
ket has been firm and prices rather advancing, especially on tne
higher grades, which have been less freely offered. To-dayl
several large manufacturers were in the market, and holders
exacted prices which would show an advance of full one clu-,„
ter of a cent on grades above good middling. The sal,

vessels. Freights had again advanced ss. per ton. Some
few ships had proceeded to the North, where a scarcity of
shipping prevailed.
Discounts were freely obtained, and money was abuiP
dant at 7 to 74 per cent.

THE NORTH OF EUROPE.
We have received letters and papers from Hambergl!
down to last Friday evening. It was rumoured in the
city that a peace was as good as settled between Deetuar
and the Germanic Confederation, and a decree of the
Provisional Government of Holstein, declaring that 114
further embargo would be laid upon Danish vessels should.
they fall into the power of the Confederation, was held t°
corroberate this rumour.

It is confidently stated that the Irish Attorney-uvPDXai
