A report was current that General Alvarez was at New
York, incog., fitting out an armed expedition against the
present Mexican government. He is said to have char-
tered the steamship Benjamin Franklin, and a ship and a
brig, with which he intended to await and capture a small
steam frigate called the Santa Anna, which was complet-
ing at New York for the Mexican Government.
The celebration by the American Protestant Association
of the first sitting of Congress led to a riot at Newark. A
procession, composed of about 3,000 persons, marched
through the city, and at noon partook of a dinner. No-
thing occurred to mar the scene until the afternoon, when,
as the procession passed through one of the streets, it en-
countered a crowd of opponents, who saluted it with de-
risive shouts, and finally a stone was thrown, which struck
one of the Protestants. Just at tTais moment, as it is re-
lated, several shots were fired from a Romish Church in
the immediate vicinity. The procession broke for the
church instantly, and in a short time completely sacked its
interior, despoiling the altar, and rendering it a complete
ruin. A building from whence the first attack was made
was also assaulted. A number of persons on both sides
were badly hurt, but not one was killed. An intense excite-
ment prevailed in Newark in consequence of this deplor-
able riot. The Protestant American Association is a new
organization, got up, it is said, for benevolent purposes.
During the celebration of the grand Ttirnerbund Festival
by the Germans of Philadelphia a fight ensued. The police
interfered, and were bearing off one of the belligerents,
when the Germans attempted a rescue, and the melee be-
came general. During the row one of the officers was
stabbed, and another severely injured. Fifteen or sixteen
persons had been killed by the explosion of a steamboat at
Jefferson City. Commodore Hollins had been removed
from the command of the Cyane. In the official communi-
cation the Secretary of the Navy assures the commander
that he retains unimpaired the confidence of the depart-
ment. The Vermont election had resulted in the success
of the new party called " Fusionists." The New Orleans
papers mention that the cholera was increasing, and the
mortality great. The immigrants were the'chief sufferers;
the weather was very unfavourable. At Savannah the
Courier newspaper had suspended publication in conse-
quence of the amount of sickness and the difficulty of ob-
taining hands. Captain Charles A. Marshall, of the New
York packet-ship Yorkshire, who had been held to bail on
a charge of murdering one of his crew by ill treatment,
had been discharged.

Letters from llavana state that the appointment of Gen.
Concha as Captain-General had created much gratification.
General Pezuela intended to leave the island on the 2d,
and his successor was expected in about a week. Addi-
tional troops had arrived for the defence of the island.
Sugars and rice were firm, at previous rates. A slaver,
with several hundred Africans on board, is reported to
have been lost by getting on a reef near the Isle of Pines,
during a squall : she broke up immediately. The captain,
one of the crew, and seven negroes only were saved. The
captain-general had issued an edict ,calling upon certain
individuals with grand titles to come forward and clear
themselves from the charge of being concerned in the
slave trade.

The Nizam's cavalry have offered their services to act
againattßussia ; they have been declined 'by the English
government.

1 - Canton was still threatened with an attack from the
rebels, and great confusion reigned there. Trade in China
*sery dull. Exchange at'Canton ss. id..; Shanghai, Os. 6d.
BOMBAY, July 31.—Money abundant, and the increased
•demand for hemp has been responded to from the interior
'to an extent that has surprised the merchants of Bombay,
who are beginning to inquire where it all comes from.
In imports of goods the rates, owing to the anxiety of
some importers to press sales, were such as must leave
serious loss to the shippers at the present rate of exchange,
but prospects for next season's business •could scarcely be
better. Metals in good inquiry, and prices very firm.
Freights had an upward tendency. London, £4 ss. ; Liver-
pool, £4 7s. 6d. to £4 10s., with probability of fuss her rise.

Imports improved for piece goods, tut rather more for
local demand and adjacent markets than for the upper
provinces, where a little tightness in money experienced
cramping operations, but which it is hoped the favourable
account of grain crops may soon dissipate. The accounts
of the continued heavy shipments created fear in the
minds of dealers, which must preclude all hope of improved
prices. Iron ,dull and lower. Freights for sugar, Saltpe-
tre, and rice, £5 to £5 55.; seeds, £7; jute, .f.. 6 40s. to £d.
HONGKONG, July 22.—N0 news of the Russian feet.
