submerged the track, swept away a
bridge, Overfowed the surrounding coun-
try, and did other damage. Advices re-
garding the rebellion in New Zealand rs
late as the 2Sth of June, have been rectiv-
ed by way of Panama, and announce
that the nations were still in iusurrec-
ton, having entrenehed themselves in
a strong position, where they were be-
sieged by the British troops. There had
been rumors that the rebels had offered
to surrender, but these reports were con-
tradicted.
The officers of the Haytian steamer
Geffrard, are unanimOua in contradicting
the rumors that the object of their visit
here is to solicit aid from our Govern
ment in behalf of President Getfrard i'll

New YORK, Sept, 9.-The excitement
in dry goods continues, though some
what abated from last week. The West
ern buyers of goods are waiting until they
sold a portion of their stock. There are.
however, sufficient buyers here from the
other sections to keep the market in Il
state of healthy activity. The excite
ment has produced a partial speculative
demand.
There are those who have courage to
