LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.
The screw steam-ship City of Baltimore, Captain
It. Leitch, which sailed from New York on the lit
instant, arrived here this morning. Her dates are
but one day later than we had by the Persia, which
arrived on Sunday.
The City of Baltimore passed on the let instant
the Arabia, hence to New York, inward bound; on
the 3rd, a strew steam-ship, supposed to be the New
York, from the Clyde to New York, and on the
13th, the Europa, hence for Halifax and Boston.
There was some relief experienced, and more con-
fidently anticipated, in the money market, on account
of the action of the banks of New York and Boston
promising an expansion of discounts to the amount
of three millions in each city within a week. Several
of the large banks did their pro rata in this way at
respective boards. Three of the savings banks have
resolved to accept the offer of the Secretor, of the
Treasury for the United States stocks which they
hold, and 2,000,00(1 dollars are being sent to Wash-
ington in exchange for specie paid out of the Sub-
Tresaary at New York.
A correspondence has taken plum between the
United States government and that of England, con-
cerning the possessions of the Hutlion's Bay Com-
pany south of the forty-ninth parallel of latitude,
and within the territories of Washington and
The steamer Tennessee left New Yes* on the 30th
ult., bound for New Orleans. It was rumoured that
she carried out munitions of war, and would receive
the men for the new Nicaragua expedition at the
mouth of the Mississippi.
The marine losses for the month of September
(including the Central America, which is placed at
2,000,000 doll.) amount to nearly 3,000,000 dole.
In this sum are comprised losses both total and
partial, and damages on vesicle and cargoes.

Little or no amelioration can yet be noted in the
course of the fever. Business continues almost
paralysed, and the transactions in the shops as well
as in the counting-houses of the merchants are almost
ad nullity. The lower part of the town, which is
y the business quarter, is almost deserted,
and very many of the shops are closed. Every
second person you meet converses about death,
awes, symptoms, or remedirs. If this state of things
continue, there may be a probability of a crisis in
the commercial community. The Exchange and the
Custom-house are nearly deserted, and the traffic
with the provinces has almost ceased, people being
afraid to come to Mum Among other things, I
hear on good authority that the guards round the
Custom-house are doubled, and the lower quarter
of the city is strongly guarded—there being some
fear that the mob, who look upon it as the focus
of infection, may attempt to burn it down.
Besides this, I am told the public are highly dis-
satialled with the want of energy displayed by the
government in meeting this emergency; and the
authorities fear an outbreak. In the deserted streets

I believe many robberies have taken place, the
thieves not scrupling to enter houses when the
fever has raged. A strong belief exists that this
fever was imported in the Tamar, which arrived
here from Brazils on the 2nd ult., after an unpre-
oeclentedly short passage. Certain it is, some very
dirty baggage brought by her was opened at the
Custom-house, and all the employ Is who were pre-
sent have since died of the fever. I can vouch for
this. Moreover, the Tamar had the fever on board,
for two of her passenger, died.
In consequence of the prevalence of fever in Lis-
bon, free pratique is given to vessels from ports in
Brazils declared suspected ; from those called in-
fected a new regulation is adopted—the passengers
may at once land, but the baggage and goods must
go to the lazaretto, and the ships, on being washed
with some disinfecting liquid, may go to the Quadra
The ports of Sweden and Hamburg are declared in-
fected with cholera.

MUSICAL ITEMS.

Jetty Tee& has been secured for Jullkn'e con-
certs, which commence on the 20th at her Majesty', Theatre
(not Drury Linn as has been stated).

A new comedy, called Leading Strings, is to be
performed at the Olympic Theatre on Monday sent. The
anther is a Mr. Trongliton, who produced a very ancomefal
piece at the Haymarket during the engagement of Mr. Ma-
cready.

A correspondenfof the Illustrated Times writes

—" I Dave received some exclusive Information respecting
the new Covent Garden Opera, the foundations of which ate
alre•dy Laid, and the works are progressing se rapidly as to
justify the anticipation that all will be ready ter NA 030.-
menrement of the season in April next. Mr. Barry, deg'
of the eminent Sir Charles, is the architect ; and before set-
tling upon his plans, he made the tour of the principal
cities in Europe, and, selecting something from each, has
produced drawings of such • building as ter
the combination of elegance and comfort has not yet been
realised In London. There trill Le but three tiers of boxes.
The pit tier will be radioed much higher than usual, in feet,
above conversation-level ; thin will come the grand liar; than
the only other boxes; and then • l►rge and roomy
baton, which, to my notion, though it has never
yet been tried in England, sill become to the
reel musical connoisseur, and not the more Mien-
dant for fashion'. sake, the most favourite portion of the
house. Behind this will be the gaiter y. The pit wig be ex-
traordinarily large, capable of holding 1,21)0 persona; end
each stall will be ► comfortable arm-chai... The space behind
the scenes will be so great a. to admit of the production of
even greater effects than throe already familiar to as in the
llogonsols and the Prophite. The place for the new theatre
were submitted by Mr. Gye to the Queen mad the Prince Con-
, curt at Oeburne, and were highly approved by them"

She recalled to her medical attendants, the other day, an in-

playing Phedie, end the Bey of Tunis critically said of lee
at the end of the piece, " She has a soul of fire In a body of
gauze." It was with a melancholy sigh that she remarked
to her doctor, Alas: he woe right, and now you see that
the fire has destroyed the gauze."
