the transient ship Hottinguer, Captain Bursley, New
York papers to the 21st ult., two days later than the pre-
vious advices, have been received.
The bill for the armed occupation of Florida passed the
House of Representatives on the 18th, by 82 to 50, notwith-
standing the earnest remonstrances of the abolitionists, on
the ground that its effect would be to add, before long, ano-
ther slave state to the Union.
No transactions of importance had taken place at the
Stock Exchange on the 20th. State 7 per cents. had sold at
an advance of A, and Harlem Railroad at an advance of 3 per
cent. Delaware and Hudson had fallen off 1 Per cent.
After the board had adjourned, 2000 dollars Illinois 6 per
cents. were sold by auction, at 16k. There was no improve-
ment to notice in the demand for southern exchanges. Bills
on London were dull at 106 to 1064.
The cotton market was rather heavy, and prices decidedly
in favour of purchaers. About 2,200 bales had been sold
during the four days prior to the 21st, at 6to 84 cents for
Upland and Florida; 6 to 91 cents for Mobile; and 6 to 9
cents for New Orleans. _

Accounts from all quarters represent the harvest as likely
to be unusually abundant.
The Acadia had not arrived at Boston on the 19th, when
the cars left for New York. She had then been out fourtee❑
days, but it was considered that she might even be detained
some days longer, owing to the prevalence of fogs.
An immense loss of property took place in James River
(Richmond) by a great freshet. 4,000 dollars' worth of
wheat, 10,0000 shingles, and other property, had been swept
away. Two lives were lost.

CARLISLE ASSIZES, THURSDAY, JULY 21.

Standard Office, Ten o'clock.

UNITED STATES.

By the packet-ship Roseius, which arrived here at an early
hour this morning from Atnet ica, we have received New York
papers to the 25th ult. inclusive, being four days later than
those brought by the transient ship liolltagenr.
The Herald of the 25th states that they have direct intel-
ligence from Washington that the long-disputed boundary
question is very nearly, if not finally, settled.
The result of the negotiations is stated to be this :—The
United States commence the line at the head lake of the St.
Croix river, run it directly north to Mars Hill, thence due
north, till it strikes the St. Johns river, at a point a few
miles above the Great Falls. We then run the line along the
course of the St. Johns River, until it meets the St. Francis
River. The line then runs up the St. Francis until it reaches
the southern outlet of the upper lake on the St. Francis.
This is the most northerly Point of the line. The line then
runs south west and by south for 100 miles in a straight
line, at a distance of 25 feet from the base of the mountains
skirting the St. Lawrence river, until it strikes the N. W.
branch of the river St. Johns. It then runs due south for
about 30 miles, until it strikes the S. W. branch of the St.
John's river ; after this it follows the course of that branch
up to its source in the mountains, close to the source of the
Penobscot and Metgarmette rivers, and terminates at the
precise point where the south westerly termination of the
three lines previously drawn by the United States, Great
Britain, and the King of the Netherlands, were made to ter-
minate.

The line, in short, varies scarcely a mile either way from
that laid down on our map as the line defined by the King of
the Netherlands. The tract which we have given on the
north-eastern border of Maine is valuable to Great Britain,
as strengthening her military position, but is not of much
importance to us. The extent of the territory can be easily
seen from the map.
The General Government are to reimburse Maine for her
expenses i❑ defending the disputed territory, and Massachu-
setts is to receive 150,000 dollars from the United States, for
her portion of the land which is to be given up.

We get Rouse's Point on Lake Champlain, and the navi-
gation of St. John's River above the Falls ; but, as we have
no access to them below the Falls, the free navigation of that
river, under these circumstances, is worth but little.
Lord Ashburton, Mr. Webster and Massachusetts Com-
inissioners have all agreed to this arrangement. The Maine
Csmmissioners have only partially yielded ; they wish to
avoid responsibility, and are willing to let this treaty be
decided by the United States Senate.
The locofocos are opposed to this treaty, whether from
party or patriotic motives we shall see in a few days.
The steam-ship Acadia arrived at Boston at midnight on
the 21st instant, having experienced, during the first ten
days, very rough weather, with strong head winds. The
British Queen was hourly expected at New York. It will
probably amuse our readers to hear what sort of speculations
our Yankee friends some time indulge In. The Herald, in
announcing the expected arrival of the British Queen, states
that that vessel may bring intelligence of Sir Robert Peel's
death, for he was very sick on the 6th instant, and perchance,
also, the death of the King of France.
The Money Market was in the same condition. The re-
mainder of the news is meagre in the extreme. We cannot
find another circumstance worth transcribing.
