THE UNITED STATES.

ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC.
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.
The United States mail steamship Baltic, Captain
Comstock, arrived in the Mersey this afternoon from
New York. She sailed on the 16th instant, and has
brought 60 passengers, and 923,934 dollars in specie
on freight.
The Canard steamship America had not been heard
of at Halifax on the 15th, having then been fourteen
days out.
Tue United States news by this arrival is very
meagre, and of no great interest or importance. The
N.w York Herald makes the following statement
regarding the migration of the Mormons into British
territories: _ _ _

Tbe telegraph and the news brought by the Star of the
West from the Great Salt Lake indicate that the Mormoos
contemplate removing to the British possessions in the spring.
Doubt is thrown upon the story, and it is possible that the
wish on the part of their assailants may have been father to
the thought. But there are reasons why the rumour may be
true. It is known that for some time past Brigham Young
has been having • Tay thorough survey made of the country
lying to the north of Utah, especially Me banks of the River
Columbia. We hear that latterly be has despatched orders
to his scattered disciples in California and in the southern
parts of the territory of Utah to join him at Salt Lake City
without delay ; and that, accordingly, notwithstanding the
seaeon, trains were es reale for the Mormon bead-quarters
from the south and the south. west. The country ding the
Columbia is admirably adapted for settlement and cultiva-
tion, much more so than any other which is open to the
Mormons on the Pacific.

The Queen of Spain has given • grand ball at
Madrid in honour of the birth of the Prince of the Asturias.
Her Majesty opened it by dancing with the Duke de Mont-
pe•sir, and afterwards danced with the Prince de Oalitrki,
Marshal Narrate, Marshal O'Donnell, and the Count de
Guandulsin. Minister of Public Works.

A singular consequence of the expected arrival of
the bride in Berlin is mentioned in a letter of the 26th :
" Several booms in the capital are already ormantrated with
Asp and garlands in honour of the marriage of Prince
Frederick William. The lower classes are dockieg to the
pawnbrokers, is order to pledge articles of less value than
fire theirs*, as they well know that on the 000mion of the
marriage of any prince of the royal family the pledges for
that amount will be restored to them grstia."

The police at Hamburg have been making in
severed hones searches, supposed to be connected with the
late attempt to eieseeltutte the Emperor of the French. A
considerable number of refugees are always to be found at
Hamburg.

The preliminary examinations into the affair of
the Belgian journals Drepoost and Crocodile have terminated.

FATAL .R4LILWAY ACCIDENT AT BOLTON.
An accident of an alarming and serious na-
ture occurred yesterday morning, at the Bolton station,
on the Bolton sad Kenyon branch of the Leaden sad
North-Western Railway. A goods train from Liverpool,
consisting of thirty-two waggons, eighteen laden with CO4l,
and the remainder with general merchandise, arrived at the
brow off the Daub-hill general

was not arrested, and the foremrat carriages were forced
through another wall, leading into the booking-office, and
thence through a third wall into the portico in Great Moor-
street. The whole of the pillars supporting the left portion
of the portico, which are of solid masonry, were destroyed,
and two of the carriages had gone entirely through the
station before their farther program was stopped by de

Considering the very alarming nature of the accident, it
is fortunate that only one We was lost. The stoker had
left the engine before it attained its greatest speed, in order
to appl some of the breaks. About a dozen platelayer,
were riding on the waggons, but they jumped off before the
collision. The eneme•driver and one of the platelayers
were on the footplato of the engine. The engine-drive
was stooping down, and so escaped ; but the other man,
whose name was George Boyle, and who wee Mending up,

portico, when, without any particular reason, he turned to
