The Express. — 1852-08-02 (London, England)

THE UNITED STATES. THE CANADA.  At half-past seven last evening the royal mail steamship, Canada, Captain Stone, arrived in the Mersey from Boston and Halifax, with 60 passengers and a small amount of specie. She left Boston at noon on the 21st, and Halifax early on the morning of the 23rd.  The United States steamer, Humboldt, with tho mails from Southampton, arrived out at New York on Monday tho 19th ; on the day previous, the Daniel Webster had arrived there with later advices from Jamaica, in which place tho small-pox still continued very virulent. The 20th of July was kept in New York as a solemn commemoration of the death of Henry Clay, and business in the various markets was wholly suspended. Renewed and positive assertions are made as to tho resignation of Mr. Abbott Lawrence, the United States Minister in this country, being in the hands of Mr. Webster.  The United States Consul at Matamorsa had received a reply from General Ayala', relative to the attack made by the Mexicans on the steamer Canvanche, alleging that the officers of that steamer stole cattle from the Mexicans, and adding that, while the revolutionists receive aid and comfort from the Americans, the frontier need not expect security. The advice, from the isthmus of Panama are very sad. The cholera was raging very violently, and it had been raging incessantly for a fortnight. Most of the labourers on the railroad had left for New York in the Illinois.  A. very important document from Mr. Webster, the Secretary of State, is published in the New York papers, relative to the infraction of the treaty with Great Britain by Americas citizens, in reference to the cod fishery off Newfoundland. An attempt had been made, but failed, to allow the importation of railroad iron into the United States free of duty. The majority against the proposal was S 8 to 69.  The Indian tribes in the west arc dying by hundreds of sheer starvation. A proposal was made in the House of Representatives to give 80,000 dole. for their relief, but though the exhaustion of the poor creatures was stated to be such that they were almost unable to exercise the power of locomotion, the sympathies of a majority could not be elicited, and the measure was rejected.  The United States Senate had tion, calling upon the President to communicate the correspondence between the United States governnu nt and that of Mexico relative to the right of way across the isthmus of Tehiantepee. Senator Mason, in introducing the resolution, said lie until-mood the grant was now in the hands of the British government, and contended that the AnterEain people would never permit that right to be held exclusively by any foreign power. Very late and interesting ems has been received from Tahiti and Ecuador, the pusent revolutionary points on the Pacific. Flores has mad, no progreee in his steps to revolutionise Ecuador. The account, from Tahiti are more decisive. Queen Pottrare,aftee an attempt to recover her lost position, was corn. pelted to take to flight, and had arrived of the Sandwich Islands.  Later accounts from Texas have been received, which state that considerable alarm was neunfi steel on the Guadalupe in consequence of the breaking out of the cholera. Caravajal, it was said, had determined to again attack the city of :tlatamoraa; but preparations were in progress in that city to repel him. From Quebec we have the particulars of a land slide near that place, which proved very destructive to human life, and totally demolished a number of habitations. Some ten or twelve unfortunate individuals were buried beneath the sliding earth and slate, seven of whom were instantly killed. By later arrivals from California, we learn that murder and Lynch law were still prevalent. The milling intelligence was very favourable, and the number of Chinese immigrants continued to he considerable. Fur the first time, perhaps, in the history of the celestial empire, an export of Chinese women had been permitted. They were reported to be looked on quite as curiosities at the diggings, even among their countrymen. Trade was active at San Francisco, Sacramento, and Stockton. •
