ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

The British and North American Royal Mail
steamer Asia, Captain Judkins, arrived at Liverpool
yesterday, shortly before lour o'clock, with the usual
mails, UiM passengers, and 921,100 dollars specie on
freight. Ole Asia left New York on the lath at
noon, and her dates are, therefore, four days later
than those brought by the Arctic on Wednesday. In
two hours after she left New York the Asia met the
steamer Glasgow, and at 2.27 p.m. !AMC day spoke
Royal Mail steamer Europa, both fur New York. On
25th June passed City of Manchester at half-past 3
p.m., in lat. 55.15, lon. 1.).22.
'lle United States Mail steam-ship Baltic arrived
at New York on the morning of Sunday, the 13th
instant.

The news by this arrival is not of much interest;
the whig convention was assembled at Baltimore,
and about to commence ballotting for the nomination
of a candidate for their side, but whether the 2hoice
would full upon Mr. Fillmore, Mr. Webster, General
Scott, or sonic other less known man, it was impos.
snipe to say, the friends of each of the above-named
being sanguine of their stvural success. The choice
of the democratic convention, General Pearce for
President, and the Hon. itufus King for Vice Presi-
dent, has given great satisfaction. Messages had been
sent to both houses of congress. pointing out the
necessity of adopting means for the better protection
of citizens of the United States in the district of the
Rio Grande, and it was expected that vigoroussteps
would be adopted to put down the lute lawless
proceedings. A bill had also been introduced to
effect a greater security to life on board steam ves-
sels, which, considerinehe great frequency of the
explosions constantly detailed in the papers, is much
needed; in fact, the present law is declared to be
quite inoperative.
Mdme. Alboni was announced to make her appear-
ance in a concert in the course of a few days, and of
course immense success was anticipated for her.
Mrs. Sinclair. late Mrs. Forrest, Mr. George Van-
denhoff, and Miss Cushman, came passengers by the
Asia.

The weather, which, as with us, had been cool
and backward in the States, had all at once become
intensely hot.
Kossuth was at New York. It is announced that
he will deliver a lecture in the Broadway Taberna-
cle, the proceeds of which will be fur the benefit of
his mother and sisters, who arc now on the route to
this country, and will join him at his present lodg-
inga on their arrival.
Honolulu papers to the 24th of April had been re-
ceived at Nee' York. Parliament was formally
opened by his Majesty on the 13th inst. The House
of Representatives was in attendance, and when his
Majesty entered, the whole assemblage arose and re-
mained standing until the divine blessing had been
invoked by the chaplain of the House of Repre-
sentatives.

On the 22nd April the treaty with Great Britain
of the 10th July, Mil, was ratified by the con-
tracting parties.
On the night of the 14th inst. a severe earth-
quake was experienced at Hawaii, and on the 15th
a new eruption broke out about three miles to the
northward of the one reported in February. The
late eruption did but little damage, having passed
over an uninhabited district, and n,t meeting in its
course either %Wages or cultivated land.
