V New York, June 6.
The British mail steamship Africa, with Liverpool dates
to the 26th ult., has arrived at Halifax.
Liverpool Cotton Market.
Messrs..Milligan’s cotton circular of the 25th ult. v reports
extraordinary tales forjhe week amounting to 153,000 bales
including 75,000 bales to speculators. The following are
the official quotations: .

LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.
IMPORTANT FROM CENTRAL AMERICA.
Sailing of Walker’s Expedition*
The Steamship Daniel Webster, Capt. Lucas, arrived
at New Oileans on Wednesday morning from San Juan,
with the California passengers, via the Nicaragua route.—
The Daniel Webster brings California files of papers to ;
May 9tli.
The San Juan river is in navigable order, and boats pass !
and repass without grounding. Passengers crossed from .
ocean to ocean in forty hours, including stoppages. No !
.prospects of the river being lower this season.
The news from the interior of Central America is some- j
what important.
Gen. Coral is still at Minaqua with 3,000 troops, under j
good discipline, but remains inactive for the present. Gen.
Castillon is strongly fortified at Leon, awaiting the arrival
of Walker, now on his way from San Francisco with an
armed force on hoard a schooner. After his arrival hos
tilities will commence and bloody work is expected, as
they are all desperatewen selected for the occasion. Ctfl.
Wheeler, the American Minister, was at Minaqua at last
advices.
Many persons are at Greytown expecting the arrival of
Col. Kinney and party, and are ready to join him. It is
supposed he will proceed immediately to the gold quartz
imne3 of Chantalies, a distance of about twelve miles from
the mouth of Indian river. Business throughout the coun
try t is remarkably dull, especially at Greytown. There
were no vessels in port when the Webster left.
The following items of news we gather lrom our Cali- j
fornia files:
The Steamer, with the news of the stoppage of Page &
Bacon, in St. Louis, arrived in San Francisco late in the
afternoon of tlie Ist May. That day Page, Bacon & Cos.,
had shipped 5300,000 to New York. The next morning
there was, of course, a heavy run on the house, and it is
said that $400,000 were drawn out before noon, at which ■
’ time the house was closed by *the Sheriff. It will be re~ j
membered that on the previous stoppage of the house, ere- j
ditors of the house holding claims to the amount of S4OO,- :
000 were induced to accept certificates payable j
in 2, 4,6 and 8 months, guaranteed by a large number of I
heavy business men in this city, by sub;criptions to the i
amount oi $1,000,000. It is now currently reported and j
generally believed, that the guarantors, held a meeting on ’
the sth, and, after having requested the eldest member of !
the firm present to execute to them a mortgage on his pro- i
Krty in St. Louis, which he refused—thev passed a reso- I
tion declaring that they were not legally nor morally i
•bound, and that they woidd contest the matter at law. it >
ds understood, however, that several of the guarantors ex- •
press their determination to pay all they have subscribed.—
I he paper oi Page, Bacon & Cos., is now selling atsoper
•cent discount ancl less. So says the California Chronicle.
j legislature of California adjourned at midnight on
Monday the Bth ult. No Senator has been elected, and
we understand that Governor Bigler Is in the field, and
warmly pressed by his friends, as a candidate for that high
office.
Ihe Brig \esta, destined for Nicaragua, sneaked from
tne harbor at oqe o'clock on the morning of the sth inst.,
having on board William Walter, ex-President of Sonora,
and filly'live kindred spirits. They are ail fighting fellows,
aimed to the teeth, for the purpose, as it is understood, of
taiung pait m the internal troubles of Nicaragua. The
vessel was in the hands of the sheriff at the time she left,
ut they managed the keeper by threats, and set him on
More at the entrance of the harbor.

“Massachusetts Nullification .”
Under this head, the Bulletin of this morning called the
attention ol its readers to an act recently passed by the
Legislature of Massachusetts, called the Personal Liber- ,

otnei poit can be had.
Let them further pledge themselves not to buy a yard of i
cotton or other manufactures made in Massachusetts,when j

.bet it not be said this would be unfair, as confounding the
gm ty with the honest. It will not. On the contrary, it
wnl cause the honest |q§take'hold of their legislative al*
airs, and consign the present infamous members ot the

lave sprung: and will assuredly cause the law in question

state of Massachusetts.

The Post Office in Columbus.
The following note from the Postmaster of Columbus
i should have appeared some days ago, but that it was mis
| | ai a- The explanation he gives of the delay at Columbus
j J f entirely satisfactory. The time allowed for the distribu
tion of the mail is manifestly too short, and the Depart
ment, we trust, will not hesitate to extend it:
P. O. Columbus, Ga: )
j May 31st. 1855. f
; Editors Savannah Republican :—
; Sirs: —The explanation of the delay complained of in
I the enclosed paragraph, from your paper ot the 19th, is
j this: When the Eastern mail, [due at 84 A. M., does
not arrive at that hour, we have net time to distribute the
whole mail and deliver it to the Contractors on the Wes
tern line at 9 o’clock A. M. The schedule gives us but
half an hour at best, and when that time is lessened to ten
or fifteen r minutes>, it is impossible to connect the paper
mails; the letter mail, of course, having the preference.
I J beg that you will say thus much in your journal, for I
| have taken much pride in the knowledge, that fewer mis
takes have occurred at this point than at any other, per
haps, in tn:s section of country, considering the amount of
work done.
Very respectfully yours,
R. C. FORSYTH, P. M.
(Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.)
The new Guano Island Discovered by Americans’.
The new guano island which I mentioned the other
day f as having fallen into American hands, is not the Bird
Island which is claimed by Capt. Fhelton, in opposition to
the adverse claim of the State of Venezuela.
I referred to the new island which is now nameless, and
the location of which is a secret at present, and which was
brought to the notice of the Farmers’ Club of New York,
very recently by Mr. A. G. Benson. I have now further
information in regard to this newly discovered island, and
am assured that the deposits of guano arc richer and more
abundant than those of the Cbineha islands. The island
is a recent discovery by Americans, and by them Is now
actually possessed. It is not laid down no any chart. It i
belongs, and is claimed by no organized government. It
is uninhabited, and may be considered as a derelict. The
quantity of guano upon it is estimated at over two millions
of tons, and it can be brought to our ports and sold at S2O I
a ton —or less than half the price of the Peruvian guano, |
to which it is equal in every respect as a fertilizer.
The American owners have made arrangements to ac
quaint the Government, confidentially, with the value and
locality of the Island, and solicit adequate government pro*
feet ion.

Is Doesticks Dead I —Touching the rumor of his death,
at Ann Arbor, the New York Post says:
‘/ YVe are sorry to say that it is obviously a vulgar man’s
trick to draw attention to a book which is just announced
from the pen of Doesticks. We do not know who is re
sponsible for its publication, but we trust that neither the
author nor the publisher have had any thing to do with it.
It it is the work of any of their friends, the less they are in

&T* Great Cure of Rheumatism. —The Editors of the
Richmond Republican, of Dec. 24th, 1852, say that Car
ter’s Spanish Mixture is no quack medieide.
• They had a man in their press room who was afflicted
with violent mercurial rheumatism, who was continually
complaining of misery in the back, limbs and joints ; —iiis
eyes had become feverish and mattery, neck swollen,throat
sore, and all the symptoms of rheumatism, combined with
Scrofula. Two bottles of Carter’s Spanish Mixture cur
ed him, and, in an editorial notice as above, they bear tes
timony to its wonderful effects, and say their only regret
is, that all suffering with diseases oi tne blood are not
aware of the existence of such a medicine. They cheer
fully recommend it.
