THE UNITED STATES.

ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY

This afternoon the United States mail steam ship
Baltic, Captain Comstock, arrived in the Mersey
with the usual mails from the United States. She
left New York on the 24th ult., and has brought,
besides the mails, 61 passengers and 76,000 doll. in
specie on freight.
The royal mail steamer Canada, from this port,
had arrived at Boston on the 10th ult.

The screw steamer Glasgow cleared at New York
for Glasgow on the 19th ult.
Although the advioes by this arrival are eight days
later than those previously to hand, yet during that
space of time nothing of mach importance or interest
bad transpired. In the political world the principal
topic of conversation related to imminent changes in
the cabinet. Mr. Guthrie, it was stated at the latest
date, had not positively resigned, but the President
was acquainted with his intention to leave offios at an
early day.
It was confidently predicted that Governor Marcy
may go to Europe. The cabinet is, and has been
amteable. Ex Governor Seymour prefers to stay at
home.

The democratic senators held a meeting at Wash-
ington to express the sentiments of their party on
the question of Know Nothingism. They adjourned,
however, without coming to any definite conclusion.
Mr. Dix is warmly pressed for the French mis-
sion, in the event of a vacancy, by his New York
friends.

The withdrawal of a portion et the American
Mediterranean fleet was under consideration. It is
opposed by Commodore Smith of the Navy.
The suspension of Page, Bacon, and others was
being followed by many failures in different
portions of the Union. One of the heaviest produce
houses is New Orleans failed on the 22nd from this

cause. The liabilities of thou houses that failed on
the 20th are estimated at two and a halt million of
dollars. Their assets, however, exceed that sum,
and it is thought they will all resume business.
Failures were apprehended at Cincinnati and Louis-
ville in consequence of those which have taken place
in New Orleans. The recent failure of three heavy
banking houses at Bt. Louis, a similar establish-
ment at New Orleans, and a firm engaged
in the cotton trade at the same place,
likewise the suspension of a prominent com-
munise house at Louisville, are all recorded.
Whea it was announced in Bt. Louis that the doors
of the banking house of Page and Bacon were closed,
them was a sudden upheaving in all the ramifica-
tions of Samos and trade, and business men ran to
and fro with utter amazement pictured upon every
countenance. Banks and broken were beset on

every side, and bills and drafts were thrust upon
them by crowds of eager creditors. The shock was
tremendous; and though all seemed to feel a sympa-
thy for Messrs. Page and Banco, and the other
respectable banking houses of Bt. Louis, yet very
few could be restrained from making their demands
upon them, and contributing thereby to increase the
excitement. The malt was the stoppage of two or
three other hones., and the shaking, peit:F.t, of the
whole banking business of the city. At last accounts,
however, the panic had nearly subsided, and the
conviction that the suspension of Page and Bacon
was only temporary, had caused a return of confi-
dence among the citizens, and financial affairs re-
sumed their quiet aspect.

already burdened prison. The result is that a feeds supply

Mice in society ' who rush madly into crime, sad bosom,
formidable and dangerous to the community. The loge of
position thus produced frequently entails a much severer
punishment than that imposed by the law. Perm*
damaged in character lose their employment; want sm-
'endow evil thoughts, and slight temptations afsse, wham
the mind is willing, to lead into crimes that are followed by
consequence' still more disastrous. And when the
part of throe evils may be traced to the intimacies
in prisons, the only reasonable conclusion to be drawn from
this state of things is, that every humus suggestion should
be listened to, and every mane adopted to spare, U posit
ble. a first imprisonment."
The Ordinary then urges the necessity of keep-
ing persons imprisoned for the first time in a state of
silence, but quits aoart from each other ; and proceeds to
point oat, by the effects of imprisonment, how and why
the present system fails.
" Imprisonment fails among many of the jacinths
offendsee, and the reasons of this failure are several. Till
manse In which these children have been brought up has
umeh Solo with the unfortunate results of their imprimi-
s's% when tar sass little offence these parties ate brought
fist sbn lest time within prison walls, they exhibit groat
tamer and dismay, indicating the deterring effects of prisons
on the mess of the population. Bush terror soon wears off.
They them find themselves fed regularly at stated times (to
them an entire change) ; they are compulsorily kept clean t
their bedding is sufficient; if medical aid be necessary, it is
at hand. They aro, therefore, positively improved by their
punishment ; and could they be allowed to run in and out
at pleasure, they would, I am sure, become voluntary in-
mates for a large portion of their time.
"To persons experienced in the character of this clue of
the community, the failure of imprisonment in effecting a
reform is a matter of no astonishment. When brought
within the walls of a prison they rapidly become much
worse. The exciting life of a thnif attracts them ; tht
dexterity required Aleuts them; to its shame and do-
gradation they am insensible. Its pleasure and profit
outweigh every other consideration. And the explana-
tion is before you why for thirty or forty times thus
ambits" are imprisoned; and the secret, or, rather
the' MAIM why incarceration foils is Palpable;
You amok in feet, punish such boys. Your dietary is an
improvement on their mode of living, and nothing you ate
inflict yid degrade them. They are brought up in such a
'prowlers' and hardy manner that public feeling and com-
mon propriety will allow of none to be so kept in a prison as
they are fed out of its walls. I am greatly in hopes that
long periods of imprisonment with this class, and the em-
ployment of that long interval in Industrial permits, may
have a happy effect; but I have greet doubts that many
will not prefer (for some year., at least,) their evil courses
to their reformed habits. The sending abroad of such pri-
soners after their probationary imprisonment adds greatly
tothe hopes of their doing well, and, at least, takes away
the fear of their again becoming troublesome lbs mam a.
nity here. Imprisonment fails also with many who maks
dishonesty a trade, and the reasons that apply here to account
for this defect are of a ehareeter much different from the
other, though to a great 'Mont the other reasoning applies.
"A repulse London thief has by his life become in a great
degree' spoiled for the useful purposes of society. The de-
graded habits of this clue are in a considerable deers* un-
known. The most uncomfortable lodgings in the narrowest
alleys, and in the dirtiest houses, of the metropolis, are
their habitations. No ono who has not visited these abodes
it misery can conceive the intense poverty and the attar
degradation in which these parties live. It will answer no
beneficial purpose to unveil these scene'. It suffices to say
that there is no poverty so , and in many cases there
are no suffering. so hopeless, as those endured by the lowest
class of the dishonest population. They are not, except is
extreme sickness, fever, or pestilence, burdensome on the
poor rate. Their pursuits are incompatible with the visi-
tations of relieving officers; and they pine and suffer a
great deal more than the community, by the plunder of
whom the) live, are aware or believe.'.
After making several comments upon the ticket•of.leavo
system, widths punishments inflicted for offences committed
by hardened criminals, the Ordinary concludes an elaborate
report, bearing strong indications of thought and expo-
rience, in these words—" I think mom towards the suppres-
sion of crime is to be don, by avoiding first imprisonments
for small offences, than by the witty and Immtnin attempts
at the reformation of dioharfied offenders."

8P OBTING.

ALLS.-MONDAY.

LITIRPOOL SYSRPLICILASR.—The current of favour
brought Trout to the top. At Btol he was backed for
some money, and was steadily looking up at the close.
Barion had apparently the call of Miss Mowbray.
GA RAY MITROYOLITAN STAXlL—Pharsalus and Fan.
clasp were the only horses in demand for this event. Each
was backed at improved pekes.
CILISTIR Cur.—Andnver'a position WAS considerably
strengthened. After 1,000 to 60 had been booked tom,
Miens sums were invested en him at 16 to 1. Bright
Bisbee was backed for upwards of 25W. at 40 to 1; and
1.010 te 119 and 1,000 to 20 were token about Weathercock.
lisedwg assorted to determine the relative positions of the
moo time loading favourites—the /Weer, NA therm, and
Arthur Wellesley.
Two Two Tgoosaam.—St. Hubert was backed for up-
wind, of 3001. at 3 to 1 ; and Lord of the Isles was in great
how et 9 to 2 and 4to 1. The latter odds were not obtainable
at the close. 4to I was taken to some money about Bongo
Morn i and 10 to 1 and 9 to 1 about Polydoro-900 to 100
was booked in ono bet.
Ton Dnaisr.—Notwithstanding a heavy investment on.
St. Hubert at 15 to 2, he wee still unable to maintain his
ground ; 8 to 1 was repeatedly laid in hundreds, and the
principal layer was desirous of going on. Lord of the
Isles was decidedly second favourite, 12 to 1 would have
been taken freely. Ormolus Reorients deeliaed to 15 to 1,
taken to 3001., and Cruiser was backed against him for
2,000 even; subsequently several other sums were laid
oat in the same way. The odds against the Cruiser at
the eon were 100 to 8.
The opposition which (Nadas encountered was partly
in jest, partly in earnest; it was, however, so well mind
up that it was a task of no slight difficulty to draw a line
between the two; a bet of 4,000 to 200 at last quietly
settled the question. Bto Imu taken to 2001. about him
and St. Hubert coupled. 760 to 60 was taken about Rifle-
man. 1,000 to 45 twice about Bonnie Morn. 1,000 to 20
each Vexation colt and Clementina colt, and 2,000 to 30
Rotheram.
