THE UNITED STATES.

ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC:

We have received three days' later news from
the United States by the arrival of the steam-ship
Baltic, Capt. Comstock, which entered the Mersey
at seven o'clock last evening with 102 passengers,
and about 500,000 dollars in specie.
The Marine Report of the Baltic includes the
following :—October 11, inside Sgndy Hook, passed
the steam=ship Glasgow, the packet-ship Sir Robert
Peel, and the Ocean Monarch, all bound out. On
the 12th, in lat. 40.50, long. 68 73, passed the United
States propeller steam-ship Arctic, bound West. On
the 15th, off Cape Race, passed the brig Rosalie,
bound east. On the 21st, seven miles southwest
of Bull Rock, exchanged signals with the packet-
ship Westmoreland, bound in. On the 22nd, in
channel, passed the ship Columbia, and packet-
ship Endymion, both bound in. The Baltic paSsed
the Bell Buoy 4 50 p m.
The news is unusually unimportant.
An American trader, doing business in Wall-
street, had been arrested in New York, charged with
having forged the signatures of several firms in that
city. It was said that the forgeries amounted to
nearly half a million dollars. The accused's name
is Huntingdon. He had been held in bail of
20,000 dollars. The political news by this arrival
is devoid of interest. In New York the Hon.
Washington Hunt had addressed a vast assemblage
of people in favour of Milliard Fillmore.
A splendid festival had been given to Mr. George
Peabody, of London, by the people of Danvers, his
native place. A New York paper in noticing the
affair says :
The entertainment at Danvers appears to have been
well got up. Vie people of that generous and grateful
village far surpass in magnanimity and gratitude the
people of bigger villages. It appears that Mr. Peabody,
besides conferring on the inhabitants of Danvers the
favour of being born in their town, has only presented
them with thirty or forty thousand donors for the estab-
lishment of a lyceum. Peter Cooper, of this metropolis,
gave for a similar beneficent institution the large sum of
200,000 dollars, yet the ungrateful people of New York
never made such a fuss about their munificent benefactor
as the people of the village of Danvers have done about
George Peabo ly. Nevertheless the dinner went off
well. Mr. Peabody had a good speech prepared
for him, and, as is seldom the case in his
London entertainments, he spoke it through from
beginning to end without once breaking down. This
proves that he has acquired more strength in his back-
bone and more continuity in his eloquence—which are, no
doubt, due to the fine fresh air and bracing atmosphere of
this country. The speech of Mr. Everett was, like all the
speeches coming from that learned and eloquent man,
exceedingly fine and exceedingly elaborate. Mr. Everett
is a man of singular mind, and possesses wonderful
versatility. When he was Secretary of State, the official
papers that emanated from him were magnificent elabora-
tions of statesmanship and didactic eloquence. When
called upon to make a dinner speech to the people of the
little village of Danvers, he was equally great, and almost
overwhelmed them by the extent of his learning, the
beauty of his diction, and the skill and eloquence Of his
periods.
We have full particulars of the fearful riot in
Baltimore on the Bth inst., on the occasion of the
election for mayor in that city, and alluded to in
our summary of news per Indian. The most
serious riot was enacted in and round the Lexing.
ton market-house. It commenced about three
o'clock and continued for about two hours. The
parties engaged in the disturbance were members
of the New Market Fire Company, and the " /tip
Raps" and other political clubs. The affair com-
menced at the Twelfth Ward polls, about the
middle of the day, when an effort was made by the
Democrats to take possession. After they had
been, repulsed, the aggressors retreated to the
engine house, and armed themselves with muskets
and revolvers ; they then took their position in
the market-house, and began a heavy discharge of
musketry directed towards the polls. The firing
attracted a large crowd, among whom were the
" Rip Raps," from the Foueteenth Ward polls.
When these persons had congregated, a fierce
attack was made upon them, which continued
for a long time without intermission. Several
persons were killed, and a large number injured.
The combatants fought with the greatest deter-
mination, and from the free and desperate use they,
made of the fire-arms with which they were pro-
vided, it is somewhat remarkable that a larger
number were not killed. Tho otorco and dwellinga
in the vicinity were all closed, and peaceably
disposed people kept out of the reach of danger ;
so that, as far as we can learn, with one excep- ,
tion, none but those who were parties to the con-
flict were either killed or wounded.
A desperate riot also occurred in the vicinity of
the Eighth Ward. The foreign voters of the ward
took possession of the polls early in the day, and
drove off several old residents who were holding
Swann tickets. We saw a hundred of them chasing,
with clubs and bricks, a man with slight make and
small stature, who escaped into a grocery store on
the corner of Forrest and Hillen streets. His
offence consisted in holding Swann tickets.
Infoimation of this condition of affairs having been
received at the up-town wards, a large party belong-
ing to American clubs started over to that vicinity.
One part of them went along French-street, and
the other along Hillen-street; but they had
scarcely reached the vicinity of the Eighth
Ward polls, when they found themselves hemmed
in by hundreds of infuriated opponents, a large
number of whom were armed with muskets Both
divisions of the " Rip Raps" were compelled to
retreat before the superior arms of their assailants,
and finally came to a stand on Calvert street, near
Monument, where a severe fight took place, which
lasted for two hours, continuing up Monument
street to the vicinity of the 'Washington Monument,
the tree boxes along the square being greatly
cut with bullets. The Irishmen then took
a position behind the trees in the vacant
space between Centre and Monument streets,
and a brisk firing was kept up for soma
time. One of the Eighth Ward men, named
Broderick, was shot in the neck and mortally
wounded. There was another of the same party
shot in the groin, the ball passing out at the hip,
producing a frightful, and it is thought, fatal wound.
Another was shot in the side, and several others
were shot in the legs and body, but not danger-
ously. One of them was in the act of capping his
gun when a ball passed through his right hand.
Of the opposite party a number were shot.
The San Antonio Texan gives an account of a
successful expedition by a party of United States
troops, against Indians at the mouth of the Pecos.
The commanding officer of the department, Col.
A. S. Johnston, Second Cavalry, having re-
ceived information from Captain Wallac a, corn
mending at Fort Duncan, that a body of Indians
were encamped at the mouth of the Pecos, some
120 miles beyond Fort Clark, directed Colonel
Magruder, commanding at the latter place, to
organise a force to act against them. After
encountering almost insurmountable difficulties,
Captain Oakes with his command succeeded in
reaching the designated region, where he met with
three parties of Indians on the same day, and drove
one over the river into Mexico, surprised two
others, killing four and wounding four, broke up
their stronghold, hitherto considered inaccessible,
captured their cattle, horses and arms, and destroyed
their provisions and other property. Tho Indians
fled towards the upper Rio Grande, in a state of
perfect destitution, whence they will doubtless again
be driven as soon as their place of concealment
shall be discovered.
Our miscellaneous advises inform us that Presi-
dent Pierce had taken his departure from Coriend,
N.H., where he had been stopping a few days, for
Washington. . A fearful storm raged on Lake
Superior on the 18th ult. The mining business
in that quarter was quite active. Yellow fever was
still prevalent in Charleston, the deaths averaging
6 daily. Adespatch from St. John's, Newfound-
land, dated the Bth inst., says
We aro now in telegraphic connection with Baddeck
(Cape Breton, N.S.) The line from Baddeck to New York,
via Pictou, S. John (N. 8.), Portland, and Boston, is now
nearly completed, and it is expected that regular telegraphic
connection between this city and the United States will be
opened about the middle of this month. The submarine
cable, 85 miles in length, between Cape Ray (N.F.) and
Cape North (Cape Breton, N.S.), which was laid down last
summer, is found to offer no impediment to the telegraphic
current.

rumours as to the discovery of forged papers to the extent
of four hundred thousand dollars, committed by parties
under arrest yesterday. The names of two firms only are
mentioned as having been forged. The matter will under.
go a judicial investigation forthwith. The rates for
Foreign Exchange do not vary from those for the last
steamer. The market is well supplied with English and
Continental bills—London, 1091 to . 1093 ; Paris, 60 days,
5 171 to 5 15.
CoTroN: Th 3. sales of the past three days amount to
4,000 bales, chiefly for home use. Prices have been firmly
maintained, and some sales have been effected at Ic
above the annexed quotations for middling and middling
fair descriptions, but as purchases can still be made at
the annexed rates, we continue them. This market is
now comparatively the lowest in the United States. At
New Orleans, on the Sth, the sales were 4,000 bales,
making for the four days 22,01)0 bales ; middling 12ic to
121 c, freight to Liverpool ,td. At Mobile, on the 7th,
middling was J2lc to 122. At Charleston, on the 7th,
middling was 121 c; and middling fair 121 c to 121 c ; and
with regard to crop, we are advised that crop estimates,
generally, range below three millions, and that the quality
of the cotton thus far is much inferior to that of last
seaaon ; very little classes above middling fair.

FLOUR: Tho trade has ruled quiet for corns -days, and
prices are not materially changed. The home demand is
moderate, and but little enquiry for export to England. A
detention in the Erie canal has had the effect to give light
receipts, and more firmness in prices. Of Canadian, so far
this season, the supplies are uncommonly light.
GRAIN : The wheat market has been quite firm for some
days past, owing, in a measure, to delays in the canal prevent-
ing the arrival of large supplies. The firmness in freights is
having rather a depressing effect. There is a fair but not
active demand at the quotations. Good samples of red and
white are easily sold, but the inferior kinds are more difficult
to dispose of. Tho operations in Indian corn have not been so
heavy, and prices are a trifle easier.

LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT, YESTERDAY.—(Before
Mr. Commissioner Stevenson.)—ln re WILLIAM LA WFORD.
—The bankrupt came up on his adjourned last examina-
tion this day. He was again examined. but simply in
amplification of his previous depositions The examination
was again adjourned fora week. Mr. Dodge appeared for
the assignees, Mr. Evans for the bankrupt, and Mr. John
Yates, jun., attended to watch the proceedings on behalf
of Mr. Lee.

ROYAL COLOSSEUM.—This national palace of cheap and
good entertainments has had an accession to its attrac-
tions, in the appearance of Mr. T. Christie, whose harmo-
nious Ethiopian revelry is unrivalled in its peculiar style.
Miss E. Howell and Mr. Brennan, as sentimental and
serio-comic duetists, are not only effective, but attractive,
and are deserved favourites. There are a host o' other
names attached to the establishment, and it is not to be
wondered at that the house is nightly crowded with
delighted audiences. There are several new announce-
ments, and the proprietor seems determined to keep pace
with the time, by cheap and good amusements.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.

Sir.—l have seen it stated in some of the papers,
that Mr. Buck Lloyd is again to appear some of
these evenings at a meeting of his Conserva-
tive friends, to show good reason why he should
be returned as the representative of time street
Ward. Let me, as one of the electors of that
Ward, suggest that Mr. Lloyd will enlighten his
trusting friends on the following points, while he
is making a clean breast of the political virtues
which oppress him ; and shou d these matters
escape his memory, in the excitement of self-lauda-
tion, it will not be amiss if some plainspoken
man of his audince—Mr. Jonas (cleaves for in-
stance—should remind him of them, and place
them in a categorical form before him; thus :-
1. What has he ever done, by word or deed, to
support the interests of the electors of Lime street
Ward in the Town Council ?

SINGULAR AND FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning
a man who had been employed whitewashing the back of
Messrs. Bishops' epirit warehouse, i❑ Tithebarn-street,
had occasion to go down into the cellar to draw some
water. S eing some keys hanging up, he took one and
turned the tap of a large spirit vat, applying his miuth
to it at the same time. He was immediately discovered by
one of the principa►s of the establishment, and at once
ordered out of the premises. He left, apparently none the
worse of his exploit; bat no sooner had he reached the
street than he fell down in a sate of beastly intoxication.
Mr. Bishop had him immediately conveyed to the NGrthern
Hospital, but, we regret to say, all attempts to resucitato
him were unavailing, and he died at seven o'clock in the
evening.

THURSDAY LECTURES IN HOPE HALL.—The Rev. P.
Hope, 8.D., of Wampbray, is this evening to deliver the
sorlopti in this highly interesting course of learned dis-
quisition. The subject is one of special attraction at
present times, viz., " Mahomet and the Koran." Many
intelligent persons regret the limited extent of their
acquaintance with what may be known of the great
impostor and his notable imposture. A favourable
opportuni'y will be afforded this evening for having their
understandings agreeably informed. This false religion
owes its extensive prevalence almost entirely to the
influence of terror. The deadly sword was the principal
and most effective instrumentality through which it was
propagated. The intolerant religion of Mahomet is at
this moment professed by millions of persons in Asia,
Europe, and Africa. It seems, however, to be at present
in a tottering condition. Recent events in Turkey have
given it a convulsive shock, and brought the mighty
gospel into direct collision with it. The chair is to be
taken at half.past seven o'clock, by Edward Heath, Esq .

2. Can he point to any measure ho ever origi-
nated for the benefit of his constituents, or of the
town ?

3. Can he point to any measure which he ever
supported
.for the
.benefit of the town, or of his
constituents, which he found to be opposed by the
political party with which he is connected ?
4. Is he notaware, that, from the year 1845 to the
years 1847 and 1818, the burgesses in Lime street
Ward, as well as the rest of the inhabitants of the
borough, were engaged iu a desperate struggle to
get the price of gas reduced ?
5. Was he not, during that time, officially con-
neited with one of the gas companies, whereby he
derived a pecuniary advantage ?
8. Did he not, during this gas struggle, uniformly
oppose the interests of his constituents;and of the
town at large, and throw his weight into the oppo-
site scale;—in other words, did be not support the
gas companies against the public?
Z. By so supporting the GaS Conipanies, did he
not consult his own pocket and his own interests,
at the entire sacrifice of the interests of his con-
stituents and of the town ?

8. Had. he, since the year 1848 up to the period
of the last reduction of price, ever made the
slightest effort to have the price reduced ; but did
he not, on the contrary, exercise all the influence
which his official position gave him, to prevent any
change in price being effected ?
9. Is he not aware that, on the water question,
his constituents were all but unanimous in their
opposition to the Pike scheme ?
10. Does he remember that; notwithstanding
this universal feeling among those whom he
professed to represent in the Town Council, he
supported the scheme in company with the men to
whom he is politically allied, and in whose company
it is his ambition to herd, those being, of course,
the gentility of the town ?
11. Did he not, when he found his seat in
jeopardy, exactly six years ago, give a distinct
pledge at a meeting of the electors which was held
immediately before the election, that, should a
motion be.brought forward in the new Council to
proceed with the Pike scheme, he would not vote
until he had called a meeting of his constituents,
and ascertained finally their views?
12. When the new Council met, was not the
tothe
question
ca
carrying the
outPikeof brought before
me 7 it with a view
13 Did not Mr. Lloyd, there and then, give his
vote in favour of the scheme ?

14. Did he call a meeting of the Electors, as he
had pledged himself to do, before giving such vote ;
and did he, in giving such vote, in any way consult
the views of those who sent him to the Council to
represent them ?

These questions may be enough for the present;
and when Mr. Buck Lloyd can convince even his
Conservative friends that he has done his duty to
them, as a representative, in voting, as he systema-
tically has done, in opposition to their interests
and their well known opinions, he may expect.
something like sympathy if not support. On the
other hand, it is not to be supposed that even
political partisanship can blind the Conservative
paty to a sense of what is due to their own dignity
as n'len, and independent members of society,
although Mr. Lloyd, in now appealing to his
friends, seems to calculate that they are willing to
follow wherever he may choose to lead, and if into
the dirt, to them equally agreeable; It remains to
be ,seen whether he -be correct- ileitis calculations;
At all events, the Liberal Electors—the men who
are determined to support good government, and
to maintain a healthy responsibility between
the representative and the represented, have no
choice. The power is now in their hands ; and
traitor will he be to his cause and his principles
• who may, under any pretence, forget to support his
own proper political convictions. now represented
by the liberal candidate, Mr. Jeffery, who has
yielded to the call made on him, to devote his time
and services to their benefit. SCRIITATOR.
P S.—Both Conservative and Liberal Electors
know what Mr. Jeffery has done in getting the
price of gas reduced for them, and the interest he
took in the water question. Mr. Jeffery was fight-
ing the battle of the Electors outside the Town
Council, while Mr. Buck Lloyd, their representa-
tive, was fighting against them within the Council ;
yet this man, this Mr. Lloyd, asks the Electors to
give him a preference over the man who has proved
himself throughout to be their firm and consistent
friend. We have heard before now of modesty,
but here we have a specimen of it, of a very refined
character.

COMMITTAL OF A BRADFORD WOOL DEALER TO YORK
CASTLE FOR EMBEZZLEMENT AND PERJURY.—On Monday,
a man, named Charles Teale, a waste dealer, in Bradford,
appeared upon a warrant to show where he obtained a quan-
tity of noils and wool of different qualities, &e., found in
his possession, and he instantly produced an invoice to show
that he had purchased the whole in one sheet, to the weight
of 691bs, on Saturday, from James Long, wool dealer, Mill
Bank. Long himself appeared to prove the sale. The
question was put to Mr. Long where he got the materials to
sell ? Long instantly replied that he, on Saturday, had
purchased them from Jonathan Rawnsley, of the firm of
Hartley and Rawnsley. On Tuesday Hartley and Rawnsley
both declared that they had neither sold the same materials
to Long, nor seen him that day. He had gone to their
warehouse, behind the Woolpacks, on Monday, and induced
their boy to write him an invoice of srme sort, which he
himself dictated, and having reference to a transaction which
took place on the 24th of August, but nothing whatever
respecting the wool and noils produced, The boy himself
proved the same thing. The evidence was conclusive, and
Long was fined under the Worsted Act £2O, for having the
embezzled materials in his possession, and was also com•
witted to York Castle, for trial at the assizes, on the charge
of corrupt and wilful perjury.
