LATER FROM AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.

The British and North American royal mail steam-ship
Hibernia, Captain Lang, arrived here yesterday afternoon
a little before three o'clock, having left Boston on the 29th
ult., and Halifax on the 31st ult. She has brought forty-
five passengers, but no specie. New York news, by tele-
graph, to the evening of the 30th ult., has been received
by her.
The steam-ship Asia, Captain Judkin. arrived at Halifax
at half-past five on the morning of the 27th ult., in eight
days seventeen hours from Liverpool. She reached Boston
at quarter past one o'clock, p.m., on the 28th ult., having
made the passage in a quarter of an hour above ten days.
The Hibernia spoke the steam-ship America on the 2d
instant, on her outward passage, two days from Halifax.
On Sunday last the Hibernia spoke the Cambria off Dursey
Island. The Hibernia and Pacific made about an equal
passage, giving the Hibernia twenty hours for going via
Halifax.

The most important intelligence which she brings is the
failure of the Cuban expedition. It appears that the town
of Cardenas remained a short time in the hands of the
invaders, who, however, became dissatisfied with their
warm reception, and having lost time in getting the
wounded and fuel on board the steamer Creole, which
was to return for reinforcements, became disheartened,
and insisted upon going to Key West. She immediately
left the port with Gen. Lopez on board, and was closely
pursued by the Spanish war steamer Pizarro, but escaped,
and arrived at Key West. Prior to leaving Cardenas, the
invaders set fire to the Governor's house, and fought two
skirmishes with the troops, during which several were
killed on both sides. On the 26th ult. great excitement
was produced at Savannah by the arrival of Gen. Lopez,
who was immediately arrested by the United States
Marshal, acting under the orders of the President. His
aid-de-camp was also taken into custody. They were
carried before Judge Nichols, of the District Court,
which was densely crowded. No evidence being ad-
duced to justify commitment, the parties were dis-
charged at about a quarter to twelve last night, amidst
great cheering among the spectators, and escorted to his
lodgings at the City Hotel, by a large number of citizens.
Being loudly called for, he came out before the people,
and made an animated speech, interrupted by the plaudits
of the multitude. He declared it to be his inflexible pur-
pose to persist in his enterprise, and was determined to
go on until Cuba is free and disenthralled from the yoke of
Spain. at all risks and at every hazard. This announce-
ment was received with cheers. The General presented
a pleasing and intelligent appearance.
The steam-ship Crescent City, from Chagres, reached
New York on the 25th ult. with 200,000 dollars in gold
dust, and the steamer Tennessee arrived at Panama on
the 12th ult., having left San Francisco on the 21st April.
She brought 588,000 dollars in gold dust. It was re-
ported to be very healthy at Panama, and the steamers
now due, and those there, will take all persons waiting
for passage. The number of Americans transacting busi-
ness at Panama had greatly increased. The business of
transporting passengers up the Chagres river is fast going
into the hands of the Americans. At Chagres it appears
to be healthy. The Tennessee brought no mail for the
United States. Sacramento river was again overflowed,
worse than it was before, much damage being done to
property. John H. Peoples, editor of the first American
paper published in Mexico during the war, Lieut. Bache,
of the U. S. navy, Lieut. Browning, and two others, were
drowned in an unfortunate expedition to Trinidad Bay,
—a newly-discovered safe harbour. Mr. Cornwall, of
Buffalo, New York, a passenger in the Tennessee, has
it is said realised between two and three hundred
thousand pounds during his residence in California. At
San Francisco lumber and provisions were very low, and
frame houses would scarcely pay for cost of freight. A
city, called Plumes, he^ been erected on the Sacramento,
where lots of land are selling rapidly, and at high prices.
Henri Herz, the pianist, had given three concerts at San
Francisco with great success. A meeting of merchants
had been held to raise the value of gold from 16 to 17 dol-
lars ; but the proposition met with much disapprobation.
Business was dull, but had materially improved, and the
prospects for the spring and summer trade were most
flattering. A destructive fire, by which eight houses
were burned, occurred at Sacramento. The loss of
stores was also very heavy. An express from San
Francisco to Sacramento now runs every two weeks, with
papers, letters, and goods. A lump of gold and quartz,
weighing 127 ounces, has been found in Auburn Dry Dig-
gings. No fewer than 62,223 passengers arrived at San
Francisco trom April 12th, 1849, to April 15th, 1850.
Real estate has fallen to at least one third its former
value, and there are few operations even at that. The
accounts from the mines are satisfactory, and it is believed
that of those employed in them, the majority are realizing
a fair remuneration for their labour.
Many of the mills in the manufacturing districts in
Virginia are stopping. In the smaller factories of Ala-
bama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Ohio, however, it is
said that business is quite flourishing, and that new
cotton mills are built every month.
The performances at Astor-place Theatre have been
stopped in consequence of a strike among the company.
News from Gibraltar, Texas is to the 17th ult. The
rivers were all overflowed, and many plantations greatly
injured. The Indians continue to commit their depreda-
tions.

One of the heaviest mining and manufacturing firms
in Schuyskill county, Pennsylvania, has failed for a very
large amount.
It appears by the St. Louis papers that the whole
Western country is just beginning to feel the effects of
the failure of the wheat crop of last year. In Illinois, not
more than one-third of a crop was raised, and in other
States the deficiency was very ereat. The interin.•
to be comparatively bare of breadstuffs, and it is expected
that many steamboats employed on the Western rivers in
the transportation of produce will soon be laid up on
account of the absence of business. Many flouring mills
at the West have stopped for the want of grain to grind.

bales were burnt here this last week.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH RE PORT VIA HALIFAX.

New York, 30th May, 1850, Eleven o'clock, p.m.
Congressional proceedings are unimportant. The bills
for establishing mints in St. Francisco and New York are
likely to pass. The steamer Philadelphia arrived here
last night with over half a million gold dust on freight,
besides that brought by passengers. She brings Jamaica
news of 21st May. Her Majesty's schooner Bermuda has
captured and taken into Port Royal a Brazilian slaver with
250 slaves. The Canadian House of Assembly was en-
gaged yesterday in discussing propositions for making the
Legislative Council elective to all government offices,
and addressing the Queen to pay the Governor's salary
out of the imperial treasury, and for reducing the expenses
of the civil list. The address in answer to the speech from
the throne was carried in the Assembly yesterday by a
vote of 44 to 18. The principal topics argued were an-
nexation r.,nd the elective institutions.
