PARIS, SUNDAY.—The rumours regarding the new
ministerial negociation are conflictory, but the balance of
probability lies on the side or a statement that M. Billault
has declined to try to form a cabinet. The Moniteur
contains a report from M. Leon Faucher on public
works, accompanied by returns from all parts of France
of works needed to be done, with a view to their being
undertaken.

The first body of emigrants for California, amounting to
130, sailed from Havre on the 11th, on board the Malouin.

An extraordinaryinstanee has just occurred in Paris of the
"ness in the case of sur-

danger arising from-

want of c

gical instruments. Two or three days since a young fe-
male residing in the place St. Georges, while walking with
her sister in the Faubonrg St. Germain, was suddenly
taken ill, and on being taken into a shop, she was bled by
a medical man, who happened to be accidentally passing.
On the following day she felt her arm very painful, and as
it afterwards began to swell and become inflamed, medical
advice was sent for, when it was ascertained that she had
been bled by a foul lancet. Amputation was impossible,
as the inflammation had extended too far, and the poor
-ed, after horrible suffering. A similar case is

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA

On Saturday night, about nine o'clock, the British and
North American Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, Captain
Ryrie, arrived off the bar at the entrance of this port,
but, owing to the state of the tide, did not reach the
Sloyne till half-past two on Sunday morning. She sailed
from New York at twenty minutes past noon on the Bth
instant, and at 9.50 a.m. the next day passed the Royal
Mail steam-ship Asia, from hence to New York. The
Africa brings 75 passengers, about half a million dollars in
gold and silver, and the usual mails from the United
States, Canada, &c.
I and co-opera- The TT '-

united States Mail steam-ship Empire City had
arrived at New York on the 7th instant, with Havannah
dates to the 2d inclusive, and 350.000 dollars in specie.
The steam-ship Prometheus arrived at New York on
the 4th instant, with dates from California to Sept. 5, 465
passengers, and gold-dust worth about a million and a
half of dollars.
There are also later dates from the British West Indies
by this arrival than we had previously received by the
West India mail direct. From Valparaiso we have four
days later, but from Buenos Ayres and Monte Video the
intelligence had been anticipated by the last Brazil mail.
The cities of San Francisco and Sacramento have again
been the scene of a terrible tragedy, in the summary exe-
cution of criminals by the hands of the people. The
accounts from the mining districts continue to be favour-
able.

It appears that the robbers and highwaymen who infest
the Isthmus of Panama, attacked the specie train, which
was destined for the United States, a few days before the
sailing of the steamship Ohio, and succeeded in plun-
dering it to the amount of 200,000 dols.
In Texas the drought has been so severe in the frontier
counties, between the Trinity and Brazos, that the grass
through a belt of country more than a hundred miles
broad is literally parched up. At the last advices it was
so dry that, when rubbed between the hands, it crumbled
like dry furze.

It appears that the grand jury at Philadelphia have
found bills of indictment against four white men and
thirty-four negroes, for treason, in participating in the
anti-slavery outrage at Christiana, in the state of Penn-
sylvania. The prisoners are now confined at Philadelphia
on indictments for treason against the government. The
trials have been set down for the 24th of November.

The four great American products, grain, pork, cotton,
and sugar, were rather inactive in the New York market,
owing to the unsettled state of financial affairs. The mo-
nied men of Boston appear to be again anticipating trou-
ble : the Philadelphians are beginning to feel the pressure,
and the generality of people are looking out for breakers.
The people of Grayson county, Virginia, have offered
1000 dollars reward for the apprehension of an abolitionist
named Bacon. The latter was probably saved by getting
beyond the limits of that state.

The citizens of Toronto are in favour of appropriating
4'400,000 towards the construction of the Guelph and
Toronto Railroad.

A strong movement is being made in Maryland, to pre-
vail upon President Fillmore to exert the friendly influence
of this government with Great Britain, in behaif of Smith
O'Brien and other Irish exiles. It is supposed that the
petition now circulating for this object, in Baltimore, will
have at least 20,000 signatures.
The Governor-general of Canada has not yet been able
to form a ministry. He has sent for Mr. Morin, speaker
of the Legislative Assembly, to form a cabinet.

The crops in Georgia, Mississippi, and elsewhere in the
south, are said to have been somewhat damaged by early
frosts. The cotton market at New Orleans is reported to
be extremely dull, and these frosts may have the effect of
enlivening the trade.
Our last advices from Nicaragua state that General
Munoz had marched upon Granada, the seat of Senor
Montenegro's government, with a view to capture the
city, and put an end to that government. No informa-
tion as to the result had been received, and it was re-
ported to be halted by the way at Nicaragua.
Late advices from the city of Mezico state that the
cabinet resigned in a body on the 2d of September, and
much dissatisfaction prevailed throughout the country,
which was in the most deplorable and abject condition.

Our letters from the Pacific Coast revort that Chili
was in a state of tranquillity. The Capiapo Railway Com-
pany bad increased their capital to 1,000,000 dollars.
Affairs in San Grenada continued unsettled. The amount
of specie imported into Valparaiso for the half-year ended
June, from California, Mexico, and Capiapo, was 4,041,200
dollars.

The New York money and stock markets continued to
be well sustained up to the date of the Bth instant. The
supply of prominent securities has been somewhat in-
creased; but all that are offered find ready takers.

The heavy payments of the season, and the impaired
confidence in mercantile failures here and at Boston, had
caused an active demand for money, and rates of discount
out of bank continue to rule at from 12 to 18 per cent. per
annum. Loans "on call" command 7 per cent. Con-
sidering the great pressure for money, the failures have
been neither numerous nor important.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—THE KAFFIR WAR.
By the Stornaway, we have advices from China of July
5, and St. Helena of September 16. There are advices
from the Cape, via St. Helena, to August 22d. The
Graham's Town Journal of the 12th August says that
British Kaffraria was quiet. Heavy firing had been
heard in the direction of Fish River, about where Stock
and Tela were reported to be in force. Above Graham's
Sound to Orange River, a distance of 300 miles, the
whole line had been devastated. Sheep, cattle, and
horses, were all swept away and destroyed, the whole
border being marked by the burning ruins of fired farm-
houses. Lower Albany, with some little exception, had,
until last week, escaped these ravages ; but the pursued
natives have rushed hither, and already we have tidings of
burning houses and beggared families. Lieutenant
Scanlend had been severely wounded by some marauders.
A traveller from the mouth of the Kowie reports the
roads in that district as quite trodden down by the num-
bers of the enemy, and part of the Kareiga country
appears to be in their possession. He observed a chain
of fires along the Bushman's river. Signal fires had also
been seen on the 12th of August. It is feared that Oli-
phant Hook will be in great danger unless immediate help
is afforded. Bloem Sontem accounts of 28th July state
that many of the Boers, hitherto acting with the govern-
ment, were now holding hack; Mashesh was in commu-
nication with them, and doing much mischief. Several of
the Boers intended to join the enemy. The Monitor
says the post brings the usual sad details of devastation
and plunder in the frontier districts of Somerset and the
neighbourhood of Sidbury. A few miles from the former
the Kaffirs ware swarming. The inhabitants were flying.
The sheep dying in large numbers from drought. There
was an alarm, apparently but too well founded, of further
defection among the Cape corps at Outlands. Universal
desertion was prevented by Captain Solis in aid of the
British president.
Matters were in a very dangerous state, and the resi-
dents were compelled to act on the defensive till receipt
of reinforcements. Sir Harry Smith, it is understood, is
authorised to draw troops from St. Helena, as well as
Mauritius and Bombay. The Cape Shipping Gazette of
the 15th says,—" Sir Harry Smith had ordered a strong
force to march to Lower Albany. Major Warden had
called out all the forces against Moshesh and Molitsane.
Two companies of the 45th regiment, and 500 Zooloos had
been sent from Natal to assist Major Warden."
ST. HELENA.—The troops at St. Helena are expected
to be drawn to the Cape.

INDIA AND CHINA

The Overland 'lndia mail supplies intelligence from
Bombay to the ith ult., and China to the 23rd of August.
There has been another outbreak in Malabar amongst the
Moplabs, which was not put down without serious loss of
life. The fanatics, to the number of seventeen, would
neither surrender nor ask for quarter, so they were all put
to death with arms in their hands, whilst making the
most desperate resistance.—Letters from Cashmere, dated
the 12th ult., mention that the Maharajah Gholab Singh
has been seriously ill, and that, under the apprehension
that his native doctors had been tampering with him, and
were disposed to administer poison to him, his Highness
had applied to Sir Henry Lawrence to send him a
European physician. Sickness was very prevalent at
Peshawur, and Europeans and natives, officers and pri-
vates, were all suffering alike from fever and ague, and
the hospitals were in consequence crowded with patients.
—The news irom Cabool is of a more pacific tendency
than has been its character of late. The Ameer had suc-
ceeded in settling the disputes of the Khyberies to the
satisfaction of both parties.—The gold market was Belt.
Funds and bank stock rising. Five per Cent Loan, 105.
Four per Cent Loan, 92z. Exchange on London, at six
months' sight from Is. 111 d. to 2s. per rupee. Export
market flat. Cotton from 92 to 95& rupees per candy.
Freights to London and Liverpool, £2 to £2. ss. per ton.
Exchange at Hong Kong on London, 4s. 9d. There is no
political intelligence from China. The celebrated Mis-
sionary, Dr. Gutzlaff, died at Canton on the 9th of August,
in his 48th year.
