THE UNITED STATES.

LIVERPOOL, WILDNICSDAT.
The Cunard screw steamer Etna, Captain Cook,
from New York on the 25th ult., arrived here at
4.30 p.m.
The steamer Tennessee arrived at New Orleans
on the 24th October. She left Vera Cruz on the
21st ult. Minister M`Lane arrived at the latter
place in the steam sloop of war Pawnee on the 17th
October.

The capture of Guadalajara is confirmed. The
sufferings of the people during the siege were in-
tense. General Deviled° had been detected in
communication with the enemy, and was ordered
to Vera Cruz for trial.

The British and Prussian ministers had gone to
Jalapa. Distress at the capital was very great. It
was reported that Puebla had been abandoned and
the garrison called into Mexico. The health of
Vera Cruz and the American squadron was excel-
lent.
The Tennessee brought 43,500 dollars in specie.
At Boston, on the 24th Oct., the Breckenridge
democrats nominated Dr. George B. Loring for
Congress.
The New York Times of the 25th ult. says :
" There is no reliance to be placed on the silly
stories about Spanish territorial aggrandisement in
America. Senor Tes.sara's positive assurances on
this subject are entirely satisfactory to our govern-
ment."

The correspondent of the Baltimore Son writes
from Washington on the 23rd Oct. as follows :

The fortunate; bidders for the ten million IS per cent. loan
will no doubt make a profit of at least 3 per cent upon the
Name iu the course of a few months. It was supposed that
the amount offered would be greater than It was, but it
appears that several bids were withdrawn a day or two
before the time appointed for opening them. If this is the
fact then the whole of the forty-six bids were on American
account, which is altogether better, for it shows that our
own capitalists have confidence in the stability of the
government, while foreigners distrust it. The threats of
disunion and civil war which are so common have
perhaps made more impression abroad than at home.
But the distrust of foreign capitalists will be of abort
duration. There is a strong disposition abroad to inked
capital iu Ameriron securitie,jd this time, while everything
in Europe seems to he shaky, except as far as England is
concerned. When confidence m the strength and integrity
of our government aball be restored there, a flood of capital
will be turned towards the United States. Another reason
why larger offers were not made for the ten million loan
may be that most capital is now employed in moving the
heavy grain crops of the west.
.The latest commercial news has been received
via Father Point.

The Rev. Thomas Dale, who has recently re-
signed the vicarage of St. Pancras, is about taking the

THE NOE= MIDDLERBX RlFLES.—Yesterday
evening, shortly before nine o'clock, a general muster of
the members of the 29th Middlesex Rifle Corps was
held in the Riding-school of the Regent's Park Barracks,
for the introduction of Lord Enfield as Lieutenant-
Colonel of the corps. Drill had previously taken place in
the grounds, and there was an unusually large atteslance of
members in uniform, as well as ladies aid gentlemen in ordi-
nary attire. Captain Roes, in a brief speech, said that he had
peat pleasure in intreducing Lord Enfield se Lieutenant-
Colonel of the corps. Lord Enfield said that it was with no
common amount of pride and satisfaction that three weeks
ego he received a letter asking him to become the head of the
corps, to which he readily consented, and he could only say
that if the Lord-Lieutenant accepted him he would &all in
his power to further the interests; of the corps. (Hear.)
He was not altogether unacquainted with military life, for
he bad experienced seven years of the duties of a militia
officer. One great thing, be was sure, in the development
of a volunteer regiment was that every individual member
iirosiM, at all times, through the adjutant, have access to
the commanding officer; and as long es lie was connected
with the corps this should be adhered to. He must
impress upon every officer, norecornaliseioned officer,
and private the importance of a regular and steeily at.
tentlance at drill. In conclusion, he could only say
that, is return for the proud position in which they had
thought fit to appoint him, his beat exertions would be
ever at the service of the corps. (Cheerio.) Mr. Edwin
Jame, M.P., reminded the assembly that the last speaker
had, at a very short notice, almost immediately after ap-
plication consented to act as their haler. Omar, hear.)
was, indeed, a proud and glorious thing that those in
high position come forward not only with money, but per.
aoually to defend their Queen End country. Mr. James
then went on to relate his sojourn with Garibaldi, and gave
it as his opinion that the present Emperor of the French
sever dreamt of au invasion, at the aims time he thought
he was so ambitions that the people of England were justi-
fied in forming and maintaining valuate, r corps, and that
at any threatened invasion the Queen might repose with
ease, relying on her volunteers. (Cheers.) Three cheers
having been given for Lord Enfield and Mr. Edwin James,
M.P., the proceedings terminated.
A Csaartn. Wousx.—On Monday afternoon, as
Use passenger. who had just landed from one of the steam-
baste on the south side of the Tay Ferry were snaking that
way 'Wm the pier, a smart shower of rain fell, whereupon
...icier), lady, more careful for her bonnet than cautious
about her person, drew her dress over her head, and hissing
thus effectually protected that piece of rnalinery hula
the falling rain, forgot that she had also as effeetu.dly ob-
scured the line of vision ; and striking off at a tangent (in
mistake if course) walked into the harbour, the tide being
within two hours Levin high water. She was got saftdy out.
