FOREIGN COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE

ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA

The fine stea

ship Acadia arrived at this port on Sun-
,ut one o'clock, amid a heavy gale from

. The Acadia has made a fine run across
as usual, tEough 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 21st 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 had 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 :
From Boston to Halifax. —The Hon. J. L. Starr, Mr.
James Simpson, Mi.s Simpson, the Hon. W. Young and

instan

The steam-ship Hibernia arrived at Halifax shortly
after one o'clock on the afternoon of the 16th instant,
having performed the passage in 111 days.
The operations in exchange, per this packet, 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 investm 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, 1081 to
109 ; Paris, 5.261; and Amsterdam, 391. 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

The state of the cotton trade we give below. The mails
received on the 14th instant in New York had brought
accounts " frost" at Charleston. There is a great
litfereo , —_ in the " first frost." The one in

a white frost, the operation of which was to
pen the holls ; throw the cotton nut to the sun ; and
thereby bring it to maturity earlier. It is a hard or
" black frost" which stops the develovernent of the cotton
and stains it. This had not vet 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 '6unprotestan-
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
Mediterranean.
The Park Theatre was crowded to see Macready. He
retained all his popularity, and was making a great deal
of money ; as much, it was thought, as £4OO a-week, for
four nights' performance
The I

_,gislative Council of Canada. in reply to a mes-
sage from the Governor-General, had 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

COTTON TRADE

From the New Fork Herald, of Saturday, the 14th

instant.)

The crop of cotton, like the English harvest, is rising
rapidly in abundance and quality under the remarkable
fine weather which has prevailed for some time in the
most prolific districts. It is usele-s as yet to form esti-
mates. The crop will be thrown later into the year, but
the falling off will be less than was anticipated. The
present state of the crops, as compared with last year, is
as follows :
