The amount of public dept paid off will have been about
$20,000,000. The revenue collected has been, therefore,
about $30,000,000 more than the current wants of Goverr.-
ment have required. Of this entire revenue, the existing
tariff has produced $68,000,000, and the public land
$7,700,000.
The Senate of Connecticut has passed a bill providing
that hereafter no jail. court-house, or other public building
of that state shall be used for the custody of a fugitive
slave. A bill is also before the same body, which inflicts
a fine of $5,000 upon any person who shall lay a claim to
a fugitive slave in that state, and shall not prove to make
his claim good. It is said that the firm of Zanguny Bro-
thers and Co., of Havana, have obtained an exclusive char-
ter froin the Queen of Spain for establishing a line of eight
steamships to run between Liverpool, Havre, and that city.
The following report by Captain Allen, of the American
ship Minnesota, arrived at New York, had created a little
indignation :—" At 11, a.m., May 25, lat. 53, non. 10, saw
H.B.M. steam-ship Gladiator, which fired two guns for us
to heave to. The steamer then ran near us, and sent a
boat on board, and ordered the ship to be hove-to imme-
diately; also demanding the ship's papers. Captain Allen
inquired of the officer in charge of the boat by what
authority he demanded them ? The officer's reply was,
by the orders of his government, and stated to Captain A.
that it was an unpleasant duty for him, but that it was
imperative. The papers were produced and examined ;
and, after an hour's delay, the vessel was allowed to pro-
ceed. The midshipman in charge of the boat alongside
stated to the first officer of the Minnesota, that, had not
the ship been hove-to after firing the second gun, shots
would have been fired at her to compel her."
CALIPORNIA..—Advices had been received at New York
from San Francisco to the Ist of June. The French con-
sul had been tried for violating the neutrality laws ; but
the jury being unable to agree, they were discharged.—
On the 25th of May a destructive fire occurred in Marys-
ville, and property to the amount of 176,000 dollars was
destroyed. A fire also broke out in San Francisco, which
destroyed property to the value of 43,000 dollars.—The
accounts from the mines are more flattering than ever.
Some rich deposits have been discovered, and several
miners had made fortunes in a week.—Numerous robbe-
ries had been committed in San Francisco ; and chloroform
had been used in some instances with success. The Chi-
nese were suspected of being the depredators.—The grand
jury of the -"United States District Court had found true
bills against Messrs. Walker, Snow, and Jenigan, the
president, secretary of the navy, and secretary of war of
the " Republic of Senora."
We have advices from Vera Cruz to the 22d ult. Santa
Anna has issued a decree declaring all departments, dis-
tricts, and towns refusing obedience to the Government in
a state of siege. The cholera had broken out, and was
raging with most unabated fury, particularly at Telalpain.
Among the victims were Madame Sontag, Mr. Barkeley,
the Secretary of the English Legation at Mexico, Senor
Bustamente, Secretary of the Spanish Legation at Mexico,
and many other distinguished personages. In one day
the victims of the epidemic reached two hundred.
Madame Sontag was first taken sick on the 11th ult., on
which evening she was announced to appear in Lucretia
Borgia. She was somewhat better on the 16th, but a
relapse occurred, and she died on the 18th ultimo. Uni-
versal grief was manifested for her by the citizens of
Mexico, and an immense number attended her funeral.
A letter from Callao, dated May 26, says : " The Govern-
ment affairs are in a critical condition; any movement, no
matter how small, alarms the Government in a moment.
Arrests are made every day, and a little time since the
Government dispatched a vessel called the Hector, with
sealed orders, not to be opened until the vessel passed into
let. 5 deg. north of the Equator. She was loaded with
state prisoners, but it seems the contents of the orders
were found out, and the vessel put into Guayaquil, releas-
ing all the prisoners. From good authority I learn th.
the ship was to have been set on fire and scuttled, th
being the contents of the sealed order."

COTT6N.—The market for grades below middling was
scarcely so firm, and for mixed lots a decline of c. had
been accepted. Strict classifications being comparatively
scarce, were firmly held. The Atlantic's unfavourable ac-
counts had not exercised much influence upon the market,
being pretty generally anticipated. The business had
been confined chiefly to sales for home use, and as the
better .grades only were required, holders obtained an
advance of ie. to on all grades except ordinary.
Qualities ranging mixed middling, low middling, and
under, had been neglected and nominal. The New York
Courier and Enquirer states, " The lists averaging mid-
dhng offered are made un of light stained. white, and blue
cotton, and fx

a every Market in the south we are advised
of some scarcity of even running middling and upward.
Our friends abroad will do well, therefore, to keep this
fact steadily in view, that their stocks of strict middling
and upward cannot be replenished from the crop of this
season, nor replaced even in limited quantities within d.
