Since our last we have had two arrivals front New York.
The New York packet-ship arrived on Wednesday morning,
bringing intelligence to the 19th ult. frOm New York ; and
the Britannia, North American royal mail steam-shiP, which
entered the Mersey on Wednesday 'morning at 7 o'clock,
having left Boston at half-past two p. m. on the let, and
Halifax at a quarter to four on the 3d. The most important
items of intelligence brought by these conveyances relate to
the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, and
the tariff which was proposed in July last, and quashed by
the vote of the President Tyler, on the 9th ult. The con-
gressional proceedings in relation to these two matters have
been curious and interesting. We have given elsewhere all
necessary particulars connected with these two great ques-
tions. The treaty was carried by 39 to 9.
The Caledonia reached Halifax on the 31st ult., at 7 a.m.,
and sailed for Boston at noon.
The cotton crop promised to be the most abundant ever re-
membered, and the quality was everywhere spoken of as ex-
cellent. Some of the new crop bad been received at New
Orleans, Mobile, Savannah, and Charleston.
The merchants were preparing for the fall trade, and deal-
ers from the south
_were flocking to the city. The cotton

market bad been dull for some time past. But little business
had been done in flour which had fallen to 4 dollars 87 cents
er barrel, with every prospect of a still further decline. The
des of Exchange were on London 71 to 7i, and on France
to 5,371. A cargo of Liverpool Orrell coal had been
at 7 dollars 50 cents cash.
iord Ashburton was to be invited to a public dinner at
r York, at which the son of the man who signed the first
ty with Great Britain. His lordship had met the autho-
s at Boston.

spread immortality and extravagance through all classes of
the people, has recently failed in New York, and its stock,
amounting to six millions of dollars, is become " not worth
a dollar." Some of the most respectable business men in
New York are said to have been largely concerned in it. The

plan was to loan moneyonihe---sectulty- of real property and
other securities, on an interest of seven per cent., taking the
bonds of the parties and issuing its own, which were in high
and upon them money was speedily raised, chiefly in
England, at five per cent. The cause of the failure is said to
be the depreciation of property since 1835.
The New York American states that the promise of the
cotton crop continues favourable to a very large yield, and
that the new was already coming freely into the market at
New Orleans, and selling at very low prices, ranging from
c. to Bc. The wheat crops had realised the utmost hopes.
