LIVERPOOL, 8V DAY.

The United States mail steam-ship Ericsson, Capt.
Lowber, arrived in the Mersey this day. She left
New York on the 17th ult., with seven passengers,
but no specie. The City of Washington hence arrived
at New York on the 17th.
The Ericsson has had to encounter heavy weather,
and on the 18th there was a severe gale.
The value of foreign goods imported at the port of
'Boston, during the year 1858, shows an excess of
1 8,842,021 dots. as compared with the year 1855.
We have later advices from Nicaragua. A de-
spatch from New Orleans, dated Jan. 15, says the
steamer San Carlo left Virgin Bay with passengers
tN the 3rd ult., but was captured by the Costa
Is NOR after she got into the river. Colonel
Laskridge, with 250 men, had got possession of
rents Arenas, bat the Costa Rican force of 1,000
men held every other point on the river.
It is confirmed that General Ilenningren bad
beaten the allies at Grenada, and joined Walker at
Bleu. Walker's army is represented to have been
in good spirits, and it is said that they were never
more confident of success than now, while the allies
were fighting among themselves.
Advice' from California to Dee. 20 had been re.
eeived at New York, brought by the George Law,
and 1,798,253 dots. in specie.
The news is important. The Supreme Court had
pronounced a decision to the effect that by the con-
stitution of the state no public debt could be con.
bested by the government of California exceeding
lam sum of 300,000 dole., unless previously cemented
to and ratified by a direct vote of the people. Busi-
ness at San Francisco was represented as dull, but a
demand had recently sprung up for realeitate,whidi
boll mused a rise.
Our advice, from Mexico state that the revolution
at San Luis l'otosi had been completely suppressed,
and that Comonfort's position was good. All the

Vidaurri, gave him a hearty support.
The exports of specie from Vera Cruz were larger
than usual.
