Loss of The Steamship ,Ne,O York, Capt j. ID.
Phillips Sailed from Galveston for New Or
leans at O'Clock, p. m; finding it blowing We
nv heavy from E, N. E., with heavy sea run
ming from the eastward, we came to an anchor
! in | 1 fathoms water. At 10, a. M, Sunday
morning, finding the wind luIled in "a great
measure, we weighed anchor, and proceeded
on our course. At | |, 20, the wind increased
and finding that she made no Roadway against
the wind and sea, we came To anchor, In 10 la
thom water. At ! / l-2 the wind increased and
blew perfect gale fom the North and East, q
tremendous sea from N. E At l2, midnight,
we commenced dragging our anchor, fred up
strong, and got on all steam and tried to keep
her up to her anchorage.
At A. NJ, Monday the It'll, the wind haul
ed to S W, and bore her in the trough Of the
sea, slipped the cable and set the b, with the
hepe of getting before the wind; the jib slipped
almost Immediately after being set, and very
heavy sea struck her arboard gunnel, carrying
it away and strained the boat so much as to
cause her to leak considerably. We let 60 best
Bower, and veered away to seventy-five faith
oms, in hopes to bring her head TO sea, but ow-
ing to the violence of the wind, we found she
would not do so. At 4 A. M, in heavy squal
carried away smoke-ppe and lifted the prone
made deck, stove in the starboard guard and
wheel-house, causing the boat to leak in such
manner as to extingulsh the fires in the fur
mace: all hands employed in balling out with
buckets, and the pump kept going with the
hope of keeping her afoat until the wind and
sea moderated, but fonnd it of no avail, for at
A. NJ she went down in ten iathoms water
the wind blowing perfect hurricane.

THE ENGLISH MARKET. The demand for
American flour and corn meal in the English
market, has been fooishy attributed by some
writers, TO the passage of the new tariff act; but
nothing can be farther from the truth. The
opening of the British ports was prior to the
passage of the tariff act, and the demand for
American produce would have been the same,
had the latter act never passed. 1t is appre-
hended that the crops of England may be short,
and that the potato crop will be almost total
failure; and hence it is inferred that large guam
titles Of our produce will be required to supply
ho J,G, bat Az,
to be much smaller than is now supposed, in
which case spectators in flour will be apt to
lose. 1t is a hap-hazard business, and we have
no right to suppose, that the English market
will remain steady at present prices. For the
interest offarmers, we should be glad if the de-
mand should continue.
LATER FROM ToBAsco-.4nOlher RerOlu-
lion. By an arrival at New Orleans, advices
have been received from Tobasco to the 30th
ult A revolution had taken place there in
favor of Santa Anna.

government of Paroles and for the ex-President.
A letter 10 mercantile house in New Or
leans, dated at Laguna, August Sd, states that
the U. S. brig Somers had arrived at Laguna
few days previous to its date, to take in sup
plies, and that her commander had stated that
it was intended to blockade the port of Tobias
co, if disposition was not manifested soon to
