THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

horses for the good of the public, nay,. to enrich the pub-
lic, instead of growing rich myself; for my house was
an open one. I made more of my land than any man. 1
let for the season in 1789 three rams at one birth• of one
ewe at 1,200 gs. and seven for 2000 ; and of one ram, with
taking in ewes, reckoning my own ewes at the same
price, I made 1,200 gs. in one season. When shall we
see the like again !

ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.

This morning about eleven o'clock the Cambria steam-
ship, Captain Harrison, came up the river. She has
brought £73,000 on freight and sixty-seven passengers.
On the 27th ult. spoke the steam-ship Hibernia, sixty
hours sail from New York. The Cambria left New York
on the 24th ult., and Halifax on Saturday, May 27th, at
two p.m.
The steam-ship Caledonia reached Boston on the 210
ultimo. The commercial intelligence from Great Britain
was considered rather favourable than otherwise.

The general intelligence is unimportant.
A letter from Washington, in the New York Herald,
states that the Mexican Congress had rejected the treaty
of peace. General Twiggs left New York on the 21st for
the South.
The new Government loan of sixteen millions of dollars
was exciting much interest in financial circles at New
York. It was the impression that the whole of it would
be taken in that country.
General Scott was to make a grand entrance into New
York on the 24th ult., and the greatest demonstrations
were in progress to welcome him.
A democratic National Convention was sitting at Balti-
more in reference to the Presidency, and from the mass
of people gathered into the town the most extraordinary
enthusiasm prevailed. Delegates from the other 'States
were present, but nothing definite had been agreed upon.
In the Herald it is said that trade between Mexico and
the States had been partially resumed, and that the occu-
pation of Mexico by the American troops was nearly as
effective as if the process of annexation had been consum-
mated.

From all that can be learned it is supposed that Yucatan
is in the possession of the Indians. The taking of Bacalar
by them has filled Belize with refugees; and indeed fears
were entertained that they would attack that place, in
fulfilment of their threats. In the attack on Bacalar
only five of the inhabitants were killed, but at Valladolid
every male inhabitant was massacred.
At New York there are eleven steamers on the stocks,
making an aggregate of more than 15,000 tons. They
are all ocean vessels, and range from 1000 to 3000 tons
burthen. Two of them—each measuring nearly 3000
tons burthen—are intended for Mr. E. K. Collins' Liver-
verpool line.
There had been a fair demand for sterling exchange for
remittance by the Cambria, and the rates were firm at
101 to 11 premium. The supply of first-rate bills was
small. _ _

The Caledonia's advices being considered favourable,
caused the cotton market to advance se. to lc. on the
23d, but at the close the market had a dull aspect.
NEW YORK. TUESDAY, MAY 23, 6 P.M.—There were
larger sales of flour to-day, but on terms which showed
no further decline on prices current yesterday. The lots
disposed of embraced the usual assortment of Western
brands, including Genesee, &c., at rates showing a wide
range in prices, which indicated a feverish state of the
market. From the quantity sold, it is likely some lotswere
taken for export. There was very little wheatoffering, and
no sales were reported. Corn remained about the same, with
moderate sales. Rve, if anything, was a little firmer. Oats
were dull. From Buffalo, by telegraph, we learn that re-
ceipts were fair, while flour was dull. At Albany receipts
of flour moderate, and grain not large • flour dull, with
moderate transactions in grain. At ioston the market
for flour was steady, with free sales of corn at previous
rates. Sales of lead and seed were also made. In this
market prices were sather heavy for mess pork. while sales
of prime were made at previous rates.—There continued
to be a good inquiry for lard. Moderate sales of sugar
were made, without change of moment in prices.
FREIGHTS.—Cotton to Liverpool was rather dull at
5-32 d. ; 120 tons heavy freight was taken at 17s. 6d. • and
some lard was taken, it was said at 155., and barrels of
pork at 2s. Some heavy goods were taken to Glasgow at
20s. The last engagement of cotton was made at id. for
the same port ; to London 255. was asked.
NEW ORLEANS, Mav 17.—Cotton, middling advanced
ie. Sugar, fair 2c. to lc. ; Molasses, no change. Flour,
quiet. Freights, one engagement. Exchange, no im-
provement.
