LATEST FROM NEW YORK

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA,

The North American Royal Mail steam-ship America,
Captain John Leitch, arrived in the river last night at
eight o'clock, having left New York on the 11th instants
and Halifax on the 14th. She has brought 94 passengers.
The Cambria steam-ship arrived at Boston on the 6th
instant, but her news had little or no effect on the Nee'
York markets. The steam-ship Herman, from South-
ampton, reached New York on the 4th.
The intelligence that Mr. Corcoran had raised six
millions dollars by the sale of United States six per cent.
stock had a very good effect on the New York Stock Ex-
change, and sensibly relieved the market.

The New York Herald of the 11th says :—" We have
made earnest inquiries about the condition and prospects
of the Sea Island crop of cotton south. The result of
our information is that there is a present prospect of a
fair crop, but no more than that. In other words, the
last few weeks have wrought a great change. The raing
on the coast below were very heavy until about the
middle of August. They were heaviest in Camden,
less so in Glynn, and generally the downfall decreased
corning more towards the north. The succession of the
intensely hot days following close upon these rains, or
some other cause, has caused some appearance of rust,
particularly in those regions where the rains were heaviest.
These remarks are more particularly applicable to the
main land. On the Sea Islands, so far as we can learn,
the crop has generally done rather better than on the
main. From the interior of Georgia we have some ac-
counts of rust, and there, too, though the prospect is still
a tolerable one, the very bright promise exhibited font
weeks since has been clouded."
Dates from Kingston, Jamaica, to the 20th ultimo,.
state that Santa Anna was at that place, and it was
thought he was preparing to return to Mexico.
The Whigs seem to be getting large majorities in most
of the states. M. Van Buren seems now to have a better
chance for the presidency.
The yellow fever has disappeared from. New Orleans.
Everything was quiet at Venezuela.
In New Grenada, all was going on prosperously. The
Presidential election was going on, and General Lopes
had a large majority of the votes.
Advices from California to the 4th July state-that the
American troops stationed at Fort La Pay were attacked
a short time before by about 200 Senorians, and the former
were obliged to fall back on the fortification. Robberies
were frequent on the road from Los Angelos to San Fran-
cisco. The bands of the robbers were made up of Ame-
rican deserters and Indians, and were so formidable that
the troops were sent out to hunt them. A man found
two pieces of virgin gold near Francisco, California; worth
52,000.
Accounts from the city of Mexico state that the country
is now tranquil, and that Herrera's government was Pro-
gressing finely. The recent gale at the Brazos was more
severe than has been reported, and the island was, at list
accounts, seven feet under water. The inhabitants were
forced to seek refuge in the ships and transports then 02
the river. An insurrection has taken place at Tobascef
and a battle was hourly expected` between 400 of tb
insurgents and 600 of the Government troops.
Advices from Yucatan [no date] state that a battle halt
been- fought between the whites and Indians, in which'
the American company that recently went from Nell
Orleans, was engaged. Six of the American officers are
reported to have been killed. The result of the battle 10
not stated. _

From, Guatemala, accounts had been, received to the
sth ult: From Izabal, the capital, they write that the
revolution had been effected, and that the power of Car;
rera had disappeared before the coalition against him, and
that Guatemala, after so many years of inactivity, will once
again have a legislative parliamentary assembly. The let-
ter from thence is very confased and vague in its terms'
therefore we cannot say when this change was to go into

operation.
