LATEST FROM AMERICA.

(av LLECTRIC TILIORAPH.)
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 1., 6 A.M.
The Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, Capt. Harrison,
has just arrived in our river, from New York direct,
having left that port at noon on the 20th ult., with
43 passengers, 418,000 dollars in specie on freight,
and the usual mails from the United States and Bri-
tish America.

By this arrival we have received later advice' from
Mexico; they report the return of Santa Anna to
power.
There Cr. no later advice. from California than
those previously to hand by the Atlantic.
Advice' from Havannah report that the Crescent
City has again been refused admission by the Cuban au-
thorities. Her passengers were not allowed to com-
municate with the shore, and she left without land-
ing mails or passengers. Capt. Porter had published
a protest on the occasion.
The steamer Black Warrior, from Mobile, had been
allowed to land both mails and passengers, and her
officers were treated with marked politeness.
No serious difficulty was apprehended, notwith-
standing that the Spanish officers were duly advised
of the preparations making for another " filibuster-
ing " expedition against Cuba.
Late 'deices from Washington disclose some im-
portant facts which have come to the knowledge of
the executive in reference to the society called the
" Lone Star," and their projected expedition against
Cuba. While the federal cabinet has expressed itself
fully determined not to permit any future interfer-
ence with the delivery of the United States mails,
the Secretary of State has, at the same time, strongly
denounced the recent attempts made by some Ame-
rican citizens to provoke hostilities on tho part of
the Cuban authorities. The United States officers
had been ordered to exercise redoubled vigilance, in
order to prevent any infraction of the neutrality
laws, and to insist upon a rigid fulfilment of the
treaty stipulations.
The alleged attempt to bribe with British money
the Amencan preen to write against ten. Wallbridge,
as stated by the New York Herald, has furnished
some very acceptable and opportune political capital
both to the pro-slavery party and the anti-free
traders, in the ardent struggle now going forward
between the whip and democrats for the presiden-
tial chair. So far as the state elections have pro-
ceeded the prospects of General Pierce appear. to be
highly favourable, yet the whig papers maintain
that a considerable falling off must be looked for in
the democratic majorities, and speak of General
Scott's election in terms of great confidence, although
his chances every day seem poorer. He had just
passed through New York city without the least ex-
citement.

Indications of an early and severe Comedian winter
had manifested themselves. In the Upper Province,
snow to the depth of several inches was already on
the ground ; the mountains near Quebec were covered
with snow, and ice had formed to a considerable
thickness on the lakes. In some of the northern
United States, also, the weather was very cold and
severe, and large quantities of snow had fallen in
Western Massachusetts.

The Toronto papers complain bitterly of the influx
of infirm Irish paupers, who arrive in so helpless and
destitute a condition that they immediately become
a burden to the colonists; and many of them have
actually perished from want. A law has been pro-
posed to prohibit any but healthy and ablo.bodicd
►mmigrants from entering the province, except upon
such security for their future maintenance as is re-
quired in New York and other ports of the United
States.

By an arrival at Mobile, from Santa Fe, we learn
that all things are pretty quiet in that quarter, the
previous ill-feeling having vanished, or at least been
so far suppressed as to induce a belief that all is well ;
business, however, had not revived. The Indians
were still on the Arkansas, apparently satisfied with
their " Oreat Father's" distribution of presents. On
the other hand, every mail from the west brings ac-
counts of some new depredations, and it is said that
the Indians are every year more exacting in their
demands.

The yellow fever, which, at the last advices, had
been staking very fatal ravages at New Orleans,
Charleston, and Savannah, is reported to have sub-
sided, but had not wholly disappeared. At the latter
place, the general health of the population was better
than for many months previously ; at Charleston, the
passenger traffic from the north had been freely re-
sumed ; and, in consequence of the improved sanitary
state of New Orleans, the long-interrupted receipts
of produce had recommenced with morn than wonted
activity. The weather in the south generally was
favourable; while, in the north, it was already very
severe.

COMMERCIAL.
When the Asia left New York business was very good,
and stocks were firm. The meaty market since the 4e-
parture of the previous steamer had been very easy ; money
was plentiful, and could be obtained at very moderate rates.
The trade of the country is reported be in a most satisfac-
tory condition.
In the cotton market there had been tarp sales effected
at lower prices. The receipts were heavy and still in-
creasing. The estimates of the new crop were daily aug-
menting, and three million bales are now generally taken
as the computed produoe. New Orleans and Mobile. mid.
fair to fair, were quoted 11c. to per lb. ; Uplands,
ditto, 10i to 11.
The provision market remained in about the urns state
as at the sailing of the previous steamer.
Little or nothing doing in naval stores.
