y °f Ju-j • tij [Transmitted for the Savannah Daily Morning News.] SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL 0F TIIIS STEAMSHIP AFRICA. 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: . Fair Orleans MiddJmg Orleans, 6*d. Fair Uplands, •• • • Middling Uplands, sa6d. The Cotton market closed buoyant, The advices from Manchester are more favorable to the trade. Breadstufls remain unchanged, the market closing dull. The weather is more favorable lor the crops. London Money Market. —The London Money market is easy, and United States stocks arc better. Consols closed at 911. having advanced i on Saturday. Political Intelligence, The Vienna Conferences are to be ro-opened on Monday ; The allies are preparing a secret expedition to enter the i Crimea. The seige of Sebastopol remains unchanged. 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. From (Jie N. O.

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.

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.

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.

The Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age, is AYER’S CATHARTIC PILLS. THEY don’t help complaints but they cure them. One Box has cured Dyspepsia . Three Boxes have cured the worst eases of Scrofula. Two Boxes have cured Erysipelas. One Box always cures the Jaundice. Three Boxes are sure to cleanse the system from Boils; often less than one does it. Two Boxes have completely cured the worst of ulcers on the legs. Small doses seldom fail to cure the Piles. One dose cures the headache arising from a foul stomach. Strong doses often repeated expel every worm from the body. They should be given to children who are always more or less affected tvith this scourge. Asa gentle physic they have no equal. One Box cures derangement of the Liver. Half a Box cures a Cold. They purity the blood, and thus strike at the foundation of every disease. Asa Dinner Pill there is not their equal in the world. They are purely Vegetable, and can do no harm, but do accomplish an unaccountable amount of good. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
