The News.
By the arrival of the Jason off Cape Race we are

to leave Galway about the middle of the preseu,
month for New York. She will cali of st. Johns to
land dispatches, mails and passengers The latest
dispatches from London on the Goth ult. state tina
the money market exhibited increased frmness
and consols were quoted at 951 95s. Illinois
Central Railroad shares were at 365 discount; New
York Central was quoted at IS Sc, and Erie at 6
The Liverpool corn market exhibited scarcely any
variation.
By the arrival Of the Ariel and Bavaria at this
port we have European files to the 18th ult, from
which we have copied and publish elsewhere q de-
scnption of the second days fste at Paris in honor
of the army of Italy, Mr.. Cobden's speech at the
Rochdale banquet, and some opinions respecting
the recent amnesty Of Napoleon.
The steamship Asia sailed from this port yester.
day for Liverpool, with sixty-one passengers and
ports the Asia being off that point at sunset with
apparently something ont of gear.
By the arrival Of the steamship Karnak at this
port yesterday have advices from Nassau, N. p,
to the 26th. They contain, however, nothing Of
general interest
Our dates from Turks Islands, by the steamer
Karnak are to the eth of August The Royal
Standard says that fair demand continues for salt
and owing to the small quantity on hand the price
is frmer than it has been for some time past
say &c., cash. With the exception of an occa-
sional shower the weather is ine and the pans are
progressing very favoraby. Latest advices from
New York quote salt at lit, four months; there
IA hoW nf ifc adv
towards the fall of the year. At some of the out
ports in America small cargoes have brought better
prices. Export duty &c.
Details of news from Vera Cruz to the nth OF
August are given in another column, and our Wash
ington correspondent furnishes some particulars to
the same date. 1t was expected the Juarez
government would soon be recognized by Great
Britain. The sales of church - -~asin"eu,
In would no doubt be realized. II
was reported that commissioners had been sent by
Miramon to Vera Cruz to treat for peace, but the
report was doubt devoid of foundation.
By tie arrival of the schooner A. c. Bremen we
have interesting news from Hayti. The accounts
from Port au Prince are to the 18th of August
Business continued dull, and during the week end.
Ing the 18th but FIVE vessels arrived The receipt
Of coffee during the week amounted to 500 bags.
At Jacmel, on the 9th, business was also dull. The
prices of provisions and merchandise generally
were maintained but the recovery of trade was
very slow. There had been arrivals OF mer
chantmen. The English steamer La Plata, from St
Thomas, touched at Jacmel August 4, en- route for
Jamaica. Similar reports in regard to the dulness
of trade are received from Aux Cages and from
Jeremie August 8, and from Cape Haytan and
Gonaives August 10. The stock of provisions at
Jeremie was almost exhausted on the sth of
August, when a small supply was received from
the capital coastwise. The President Of Hayt
left the capital on the 9th Of August, at three
O'Clock in the morning, to go to Leogane. 1t
was said that he would return to Port au Prince
before the Sunday following. President Geffrard
had approved the notification of the Haytian tariff
enacted by the Corps Legislative on the 10th of
July last.
We published yesterday narrative of certain
alleged fraudulent transactions in connection with
the Monongahela Valley Bauk, aud we publish in
to-day's paper communication from Mr.. Stephen
d Dllaye which throws some additional light on
the subject.
AS an indication of the activity Of the fall trade
we may state that the rush Of freight to the South
is now greater than ever before known. Draymen
are often compelled to wait twenty four hours in
line leading to the Charleston and Savannah steam
ships, and merchants pay by the hour for such SER
vice. The amount paid for shipping load Of goods
would almost pay the freight to destination by
Adams Express. This company has room on all
steamships out of New York for the Southern cities
which enables them to take goods for shipment no
to the hour of sailing.
One of the most successful efforts at rascality
that was ever heard Of was brought to light yes
terday in this city. From the revelations, as pub.
lshed in another column it appears that sharper
In Philadelphia advertised for number Of young
ladies to go South to fill situations as teachers of
music Fifteen young women accepted by
the advertiser. They were to have remunerative
employment in the families Of wealthy Southern
planters, and in every respect their future pros
poets were Of the most fattering description. 1t
was simply stipulated by the advertiser that the
ladies should defay in part their expenses to their
respective destinations. On arriving in this city
en- route for the South, the sharper took charge Of
tne baggage of the ladies, collected from them
about one hundred and City dollars for their fare in
tne steamship, and while they were waiting patient
~ ~ the notei for him TO conduct them on board,
ne decamped with his plumber. The police are in
hot pursuit Of the swindler.
