UNITED STATES.

As announced yesterday by electric telegraph, the
United States mall steam-ship Atlantic, Capt. W. st,
arrived at Liverpool from New York, which port -ha
left on the 13th inst. at noon, having on board :0)
passengers and 300,000 dollars in specie, together
with the usual mails.

By this arrival we have later dates from Cula,
from which it appears that four of the prisoners had
been liberated by the Captain• General, Concha, at
the entreaty of Captain Platt, of the United States
ship Albany. It is reported that the Captain-General
stated he would have liberated the remainder, but
for the riots at New Orleans. A narrative of the
events of the expedition, from Limit. Van Vechten,
one of the four liberated prisoners, appears in the
New York Herald. (It will be found quoted in an-
other column.)
The miscellaneous news is most important. Amon;
the items in the New York files we find the tel.
lowing:

WASHINGTON, SEPT. 12.

The President, to-day, decided that he would accept the
invitation to be present at the Boston Railroad celebration,
He will leave Washington at 6 o'clock next Monday morn-
ing, accompanied by all the members of the cabinet at pre-
sent here.
William W. Corcoran, broker, has responded to the ob-
jects of the delegation now here from the 128 Hungarian
exiles, lately arrived at New York from Shumla, about the
means for conveying them to Cjhazy's colony in lowa, hy
proffering to pay the passages of them all from New York
to New Buda, their destined home.
Despatches were received, yesterday, at the State De-
wtment from Savannah, stating that the Tampere hail
been chased by a government revenue cutter, and find
upon, and had escaped into St. John's River, at Jacktun-
vine.
BALTIMORE, SEPT. 12.
Passengers in the cars from York, Pennsylvania, furnish
the following details of the attempted arrest of some fugitive
slaves. It appears that Edward Gomel', and his son,
Dickinson Gorsuch, residents of Baltimore county, accom-
panied by Nicholas Hutchinson, Joshua Nelson, Doctor
I'homas Prince, Joshua Gorsuch, and others, went to
Christiana, to recover some fugitive slaves, who tan off a
year ago, belonging to Edward Gorsuch. Upon nearing
the house where the fugitives were, some negroes, armed
with muskets, &c., rushed upon them and prevented
them from entering. A large crowd of whites
and negroes soon assembled, and were commanded by
the marshal to assist in the capture, but they refused..
Mr. Gorsuch and his friends being completely over-
come' retired, when they were fired upon by the negroes,
trom the windows of houses, and were also attacked by the
crowd. Edward Gorsuch was shot in the breast, and till
dead. His son, Dickinson, was shot in the arm and
shoulder, and died. Both the deceased were afterwards
beaten with clubs. The other Mr. Gorsuch was also mor-
tally wounded. Dr. Thomas Prince was shot and badly
beaten, and it is feared he cannot survive. Messrs. Hutchin-
son and Nelson escaped to Philadelphia. Two or three of
the negroes were also shot. Such was the violence of the
attack that none of the survivors could remain with tha
wounded, but escaped as they best could. The crowd of
blacks and whites numbered about 200, and none interfered
to save the lives of our citizens. The gentlemen from Bal-
timore county are amongst our most respected citizens. The
excitement in Baltimore is most intense.

ALEANT, SEPT. 11.

One of the evening papers says : We h;ve been fur-
nished the particulars of another outrage committed by
some disguised persons in the county of Rensselaer, upon
the person of Leonard Whitbcek, one of the deputies of
the sheriff of that county. Mr. Whitbeck has been engaged
in serving processes in favour of Mr. Vau Renaud& er, upon
some of the tenants in thatcounty. On Wednesday List, about
1 o'clock in the morning a band of persons, numbering about
20, disguised u Indians, went to the residence of Mr. Whit-
beck. Mr. W. was in bed at the time, but being aroused
from his slumbers by the rapping of some person desiring
admittance, he arose, and without suspecting any danger,
opened his door. lle was iininediately seized ky tho.e
who were assembled in disguise, and taken to a waggon
near by, and carried about nine miles somewhere Cast
of Sandlake. They then stripped his clothes off,
and deliberately applied a coat of tar and fea-
thers, and after detaining him till near morning
left him in that condition to wend his way home un foot.
Previous to leaving him they attempted to extort a promise
from him that he would serve no more processes. lle told
them he should do his duty let the consequences be what
they may. They threatened him with another visit in case
he persisted. Ilia brother, anticipating the intentions of
the scoundrels, followed in a horse and waggon, and, not-

withstanding the threats of the Indians, carried Sheriff W.
back to his residence.

Heavy forgeries on mercantile tunas in Cincinnati have
been traced to one Benjamin Davenport, who has hitherto
borne a good character. The amount raised by him on
forged drafts is from 30,000 dots. to 40,000 dole. The fraud
was detected by one of the forged notes being lost and ad-
vertised by the holder and purchaser. Davenport had not
been arrested at the last accounts.

The testimony in the railroad conspiracy case at Detroit
was concluded on the 'led inst., and the argument com-
menced oa the following day. Silty-seven days were con-
sumed in receiving evidence.
Father Mathew arrived at Rochester on Thursday last,
and left soon afterward for the east.

The Attorney-General of Nlissouri, Mr. Rohards, died of
cholera at Jefferson Barracks on the 3rd inst.

Our correspondent writes as follows :
NEW YORK, SErr. 13.
_ . _

The heat of summer continues upon 'us in all its
severity. This month of September is wanner by
many degrees than any we have passed through for
eleven years. Those persons who predict cold wt.a.
thcr after solar eclipses and bright auroras, are this
time much mistaken. We arc now, however, enjoy-
ing a profusion of our best fruit; our tables groan
under the weight of our beautiful peaches, plums,
grapes, and melons. Everybody has enough. A
nutmeg melon that would be worth half-a•guinca in
London can be had here for about threepence.
Grapes are twelvepence a pound, and the finest
peaches I ever saw may be singly had for half a
penny, or as cheap again by the small measure.
We have nothing of importance from Cuba. All
is quiet there. We had a rumour yesterday that a
General Gonzales was about to head another expe-
dition of 1,200 men against the island, but this must
be unfounded. It is quite impossible that any more
volunteers could be found to engage in any such
desperate service. Three of the officers of Lopez have
returned from Havana, after being pardoned by the
Governor-General, and have published an account of
the expedition which I now enclose to you.
