ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.

The British and North American royal mail steam-ship
Canada, Captain Harrison, which left New York on the
14th instant, and Halifax on the 16th instant, arrived in
the river yesterday morning. She has brought 102 pas-
sengers, and New York telegraphic advices to the 16th
instant. She had on board £13,000 in specie for British
account; and 230,000 dollars for Havre on French account.
There was a fair inquiry for sterling bills for the
steamer, the rates of which had been firm ; most of the
transactions were at 114, with some small sales at Mt.
In domestic exchanges there was little doing. There was
a steady growing demand for money in New York.
The boundary line of Texas was the great subject occu-
pying the attention of the country. Different lines have
been proposed, and each attacked and defended with
great vigour. A great deal of debate has taken place in
the Senate in regard to the geographical limits of the
various divisions of the disputed territory, but Mr.
Pearce's bill was eventually passed. Mr. Benton pro-
posed to make the meridian of 162 the western boundary
of Texas, beginning at the Del Norto just below the
mouth of the Puerco, and about 300 lines in a straight
line below El Paso. An amendment to this effect was
defeated in the Senate by a great majority. The Presi-
dent had issued a special message on the subject. By Mr.
Pearce's bill the boundary of Texas is fixed as follows :
Beginning at the insurrection of the one hundredth degree
west longitude with 30 degrees 36 north • proceedin g thence,
due west, to 103 degrees west longitude, thence, due south,
to 32 degrees north latitude, and thence, in a straight line
to El Paso, or south of it, so as to include the settlement
of El Zario, as an equivalent for depriving her of the por-
tion of New Mexico, to which she had claim, whether
justly or not, is not necessary to inquire. Texas is to re.
ceive ten millions of dollars in United States stock—five
millions of which are not to be issued until the claims
against her, growing out of the act of annexation to the
United States, shall be satisfied.
Mr. Henry Clay had visited New York and met with an
enthusiastic reception. Garibaldi also was still honoured
in the city.

The California Bill has passed the Senate after a spirited
debate, by a majority of 34 to 18.
A manufactory of linen thread has just been started at
Lansingburgh, capable of producing 100,000 pounds an-
nually. The manufactured article is strong and beautiful.
This is the first and only establishment of the kind in the
United States.

CONDITION OF THE MARKET FOR FOREIGN DRY
GOODS.—The largely-increased quantity of British-manu-
factured cloths, which have of late proceeded for sale to
the American market, renders a glance at its condition

important facts from an article on t
York Courier of the latest date. The writer notes a gene-
ral languor in the market during the week, especially in
English and French goods, as compared with the business
of the preceding four weeks. This is accounted for by
the western and south-western jobbers having made their
early purchases, whilst the northern buyers had not yet
come into the market. The stock on hand in the country,
he says, is light. " Goods will be wanted, and the people
in due time will supply themselves." A lcrge demand,
however, is not anticipated. The imports had fallen off
during the week, from which it was concluded that prices
i❑ Europe were better than in America. The novelties
were mostly out of the market, and, from being pressed,
had been sold at a less profit than might have been ob-
tained. With the exception of a demand for blankets,
duffils, &c., the trade in staple articles was dull. The
writer concludes his remarks upon the staple trade as fol-
lows :—" So far as regards foreign goods of a staple na-
ture, the demand will come ; the jobbers will not supply
themselves until the buyers from the country make their

appearance; by deferring their purchases, they gain time,
and hope to find a reduction in the price; as things are at
present, no second orders will go abroad, and the stock
here is not more than equal to the wants of the country,
with a firm and rising market abroad, and a healthy state
of affairs throughout our country generally, we may ex-
pect a fair and profitable termination to the present sea-
son." The report with respect to printed goods is very
unfavourable. Notwithstanding the small stock on hand,
and their adaptation to the taste of the markets, it is said
that "they hardly bring the cost of importation. The
quantity sold, compared with domestic prints, is a mere
bagatelle." And again, "unless the tariff should be re-
duced, the Americans will have the print trade to them-
selves." The importations of ginghams were small, and
the light stocks were firmly held by importers at a profit.
Fancy stuff goods were in active demand, and entirely out
