'complement of gold-dust to meet the tstimate of twenty-
five million dollars per annum 'Ws not been received,
and all said to be gold is not iv any means that metal.
Prices for real estate, and merabandise of all kinds, was
rapidly falling, and the 'revulsion had already com-
menced. Failures have commenced in California,
and at New York a universal explosion among the
speculators at San Francisco is confidently anticipated.
which will prove very disastrous to the ports of the
Atlantic. The enormous value of money at San Fran-
cisco, the extravagant prices for property of all kinds,
gave indications of the approaching storm. Buildings,
nut long since yielding thousands, now only return hun-
dreds, while many are vacated. Multitudes are still on
their way there, and thousands of hale, hearty men, with
tens of thousands of horses, mules, &c., are still passing
through the state lowa. At the different starting points
on the Missouri River there are said to be fifty thousand
persons, and the crowd was hourly increasing. _

Bahia both natives and strangers bad fallen victims.

THREE DA YS LATER FROZI NEW YORK.
(By Electric Telegraph.to Halifax)
NEW YORK. MAY 10

The steamer Niagara arrived at Halifax on the ith inst.,
also the screw-steamer British Queen, from Hamburg.
Since the Cambria left, we have Washington intelligence
of more than usual interest. The Slavery Compromise
Committee have presented their report; the manner in
which it was received does not indicate a speedy adoption
of its recommendation. In debate it was denounced, the
specific points of hostility being the admission of Califor-
nia. Mr. Clay undertakes the defence of the report.
The ultras of each side are arrayed against him. This
subject engrosses Congress to the exclusion of all others.
The bill admitting California to the Union, and recom-
mending governments for the territories, as reported by
the committee, comes up immediately for consideration.
The authenticity of the letter assigned to Mr. Bulwer,
addressed to Mr. Chatfield, is said to be established.

A steamer arrived-at Philadelphia supplies Rio Janeiro
dates to the sth of April. The accounts of yellow-fever
ravages are awful. Many vessels there have lost every
soul on board, and there were not seamen to man half
those in harbour ; and of 80 custom-house officers who
remained on shipboard or on shore, death was eoually
unsparing. In less than three months, 14,000 deaths had
occurred ! The American Secretary of Legation died.
Every English ship has suffered more or less. Vessels
had put to sea with a new crew, and returned in a few
days with only men enough to get the vessel back, fre-
quently bereaved of the captain and officers.
Later news fiom Havanah announces the cholera as
having prevailed there for three weeks. The number of
deaths had increased to 60 daily.

A collision of two Canadian steamers had occurred on
Lake Erie. near Port Maitland, by which one, having on
board a portion of the British 23d Regiment, was sunk in
a few minutes in eight fathoms water. The surgeon, Dr.
Grantham, and 24 soldiers, and 13 women and children
are reported drowned.
