SEACOMBE HOTEL, GARDENS, AND BOWLING-GREEN.
—This still most rural of our Cheshire ferries promises
this year to be more attractive than on any previous season.
The three boats now engaged upon the ferry have recently
undergone a thorough repair; and a fourth is being re.
fitted, and is expected to vie in speed with any on the river.
The bowling-green, which was opened on Good Friday,
is in splendid order, and is admitted to be the most
pleasant resort within many miles of Liverpool. The
gardens are also putting on their spring adornment ' • and
new parterres have been laid out, which will afford an
additional source of delight to promenaders, who are at
all times allowed to avail themselves of the numerous
attractions and the health-bestowing breezes of the lo-
cality, which commands one of the finest views of the
Mersey, of Liverpool and its magnificent docks, which
can be found. We may add that, during the low tides
of last week, Messrs. Parry lengthened their slip by five
yards, which will enable them to command in future an
excellent landing, at any period, without the annoyance of
having to ground a boat to pass over.

PEACEFUL QUARTERS BEFORE Mon?At.r.—The Offi-
cers' tents were the favourite mark of Moolraj's gunners,
these were pitched, for stater, under the lee of the Kut-
tee Byragee-gerden, which the rebels discovering, skilfully
elevated their guns so as to drop the shot just over the
top of the trees. One Sunday' morning, I remember, the
nerves of our little congregation were disturbed by about
twenty shot falling round the tents in the space of a very
few minutes, and when at length one foetid its"'Billet",
and smashed a man's thigh at the door, a general rush was
made to our guns, and the whole strength of the artillery
bent upon the Bloody Bastion until its fire was silenced.
On another occasion Major Napier came over to me one
night to talk over the morrow's plans. We sat together
under the awning of my tent, with our feet resting on the
table, in the favourite attitude of Englishmen in the East,
sipping hot tea, and breathing the cool night air. Lake.
exhausted with his day's work, was fast asleep in his bed
under the same awning as eurselves. Presently the rebel
gunners seemed to awake, and one shot buried itself his.
sing in the sand by Napier's side; then another ripped its
way by me. A third fell at the head of Lake's bed, and
his servant immediately got up, and with great careful'.
ness turned his bed round. Poor Lake gave a yawn, and
asked. sleepily, What's the matter ?" ' Nothing !' re-
plied the bearer, ' it's only a -cannon- ball !' Lake went
to sleep again. Five minutes later another shot fell at his
feet, and seemed to say ' Fish!' as it hit nothing but the
ground when it came for a man. Again the good bearer
shifted his master's bed, and again Lake half-asleep, asked
What's- the matternow 1' and was told in reply,.' Another
cannon-ball ; nothing more !' on which he, said !'
and returned calmly to the land Of dreams, while Napier,
and I finished our conversation. This shoivs what habit
brings us to. If a naughty boy was, at this moment, to
throw a pebble-stone through the study-window before
me, I should probably be unable to thlnk of anything else
for an lionr.—A Year In the Punjab,

LATER FROM AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP CANADA.

The British and North American Royal Mail Steam-
ship Canada, Capt. Harrison, arrived in the river last
night, shortly before eight o'clock, with advices from New
York to the Bth instant. The Canada left Boston on
Wednesday, the 9th instant, at 1 10 p.m., and Hall ax on
the 11th inst., at 1 ?5, a.m. The Canada encountered
strong head winds for severel days, which, of course,
somewhat retarded her passage. She has brought 126
passengers, a list of whom we give below.

The Canada has brought only £4OOO !n specie.
The usual telegraphic despatch, via Halifax, has not
been received ; but we learn that a private message was
received by telegraph, at Halifax, on Thursday, the
10th, annauncing the arrival of the steam-ship Africa, at
New York, on the 10th instant.
The elections in Connecticut, for governor and other
state officers, had resulted in favour of the democrats.
The returns from Massachusetts were not complete.
Order had been restored at Boston, and much gratifi-
cation was expressed by the anti-abolitionist party that
Chief-Justice Shaw had refused to grant a writ of habeas
corpus in the case of the fugitive slave Simms, who had
been arrested in that city.

Advices from Havana to the 3rd instant, state that a
large number of American merchant-ships were loading
with supar. Everything was quiet. Some rumours were
afloat about another Lopez expedition, but they attracted
no attention. Within the past fortnight, the arrivals from
all parts have been nntnerous beyond precedent, at.
tracted, no doubt, by the previous favourable rates of
freight, information of which was rapidly diffused
through the aid of the Charleston steamer, and the
telegraph. During a period of five days there were 69
arrivals from foreign ports—in two other days 29, and in
the whole, in 14 days, 146. The influence upon business
has hem sensibly felt, and freights have so far receded
that many of the newly-arrived vessels have left in ballast,
and the following rates are the highest that can be
obtained, with a prospect of a decline :
Cowes and a market .. £2 10s. Od. to £2 15s. Ocl.
Baltic
Mediterranean
United States
Exchange on London 7 per cent. premium, and some
sales a trifle higher. New York, 4to 41 discount.
These are lower than last quotations, the decline in freights
having brought many buyers into the sugar market, whose
bills thus quickly influence the rates of Exchange in a mar-
ket where there are few or no regular buyers. Sugars :
White regular, 8 to 851:- ; ditto fine, 9 to 9} ; ditto extra
qualities 91 to 10k and 11 ; brown and Cucurucho, 44 to
; yellow, 54 to 61-; do. extra, 7to 74. The actual ex-
portations of the week past, have been comparatively
light ; hut the purchases have exceeded 35,M boxes, all
of which are going now on shipboard. The demand for
the medium qualities is most prevalent.—Coffee is dull at
71 to 81 with no prospect of recovering. About 400 bags
went off the past week, 250 of which were for Boston.—
Molasses--11 rials per keg, with regular demand.
Advices from Honolulu to the 25th of January, have
been received. The chief intelligence is the reception
given by the King of the Sandwich Islands to the United
States' Commissioner. Business at Honolulu was ex-
tremely dull with little prospect of improvement.
NVe have news from Valparaiso to the 25th February.
Much more activity had been witnessed in commercial
circles during the moath, than for many months pre-
viously, but prices bad not risen.
The Legislature of New Brunswick was opened on the

25► h ult. The governor announced that be was ready to
introduce a responsible government into the colony, in a
modified form, and also to surrender her Majesty's crown
revenues when the Legislature shall have agreed to
certain conditions. Bills for incorporating the Orange
lodges of New Brunswick had been rejected by the
legislature.

A series of tragedies have marked the history of Socrrro,
Texas, where the Mexican boundary commission of the
United States have been recently sojourning. Binds of
armed ruffians were overawing the quiet inhabitants, and
robb'd and killed openly whomsoever they pleased. At
length a large party of Americans and Mexicans arrived
and seized eight or ten of the ringleaders, who were con-
demned to death by the judge within one hour, and they
were immediately hung to a tree, and shortly ter buried
beside the body of a man named Clarke, whom they had
murdered.

Some splendid specimens of gold had been discovered
at Arkansas.

We learn from Canada that the Post-office Department
of that part of the British empire, has been transferred to
the provincial authorities, and that the uniform rate of
five cents postage will go into operation immediately.
