LIVERPOOL, SONDAY,

By the arrival of the British and North American
Royal Mail steam-ship Arabia, Captain James Stone,
which entered the Mersey this evening, we have
dates from New York to the 25th ult. inclusive.
The Arabia brought 115 passengers, and upwards
of a million of dollars in specie.
The Atlantic arrived at New York on the 22nd.
The news from Europe had a depressing effect on all
branches of commerce.
Money abundant, and could be obtained at 8 to 7
per cent on call ; stocks active, but tendency down-
wards. Cotton was tunhanged in value. Bread.
stuffs heavy, and closed at easier rates. Provisions
were dull, and prices drooping. Freights to Eng-
lish ports merely nominal.
A despatch reached New York just before the
Arabia sailed, dated from New Orleans on the 24th,
which says that the news just received there from
Vera Cruz and the City of Mexico represented the
country as in a most distracted condition. Another
resolution was impending, and the revolutionists
were negotiating with Santa Anna for president.
Twenty-three political exiles had arrived at
New Orleans by the same steamer, including ex-
President Silas Jose Washington, Colonel Romero,
and William Moran, editor of the journal called the
Mexican Extraordinary, who was imprisoned for
publications against the Governor of Zacatecas.
Comonfort's fall was considered certain, and his
life was thought to be in danger if ho remained in
the country.
In the New Orleans market on the 24th cotton
was irregular. The sales were 8,500 bales, mostly at
llie. for middling.
The receipts up to the previous day were 21,000
bales.

Sterling exchange was at 103 to 104.
Flour was dull. Sugar was quiet, at 4lc. to 50.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.
The Adriatic, which sails this noon for Liverpool,
is the largest steam-ship afloat, and her friends con-
fidently expect her to excel all others in speed.
On her trial trip she made the beat time ever made
by an ocean steamer. She will be the object of
wonder and admiration to our English neighbours
if she cross the Atlantic with safety.
All doubt about Mr. Buchanan's course towards
General Walker is dispelled. He is determined to
break up that expedition, and he certainly has the
power to do it if he will. The President is
equally resolved on the chastisement of the
Mormons. The force at present on its road
will go into winter quarters in Utah, and be pre-
pared to take the field early in the spring, when
it will be joined by an efiloent fore to crush the
rebellion. In these matters Mr. Buchanan has dis-
played all the firmness and decision which the exi-
gency called for, and more than his friends expected.
Things have again taken an unfortunate turn in
Kansas. The pro-slavery party are determined to
drive matters to extremes, and force slavery upon the
people of Kansas. It can never succeed ; but it may
' protract the reign of anarchy and bloodshed in that
anhappy territory. Governor Walker is shortly
expected at Washington, and it is not believed that
' Mr. Buchanan will lend his countenance to the base
designs of the pro-slavery fanatics. The course of
the Constitutional Convention at Lecompton is
condemned by all the democratic journals friendly
to Mr. Buchanan, and the procdavery party can
expect little favour from Congrem. Bat they will

not give up their plans so long as a shadow of b
remains. The new pro-slavery constitution will 6~
laid before Congress as soon as it meets, what
another violent discussion is expected. Bat WI
these agitations and debates never would hi,
weakened the institution of slavery so effectually
had not the wrongs and outrages of the pro-slavery
party in Kansas inflamed so deep an Indira*.
throughout all the free states. In the midst of di
serious embarrassments and misfortunes which hill
fallen upon the country, and the dangers that
threaten us in the future, there seems to be s to},
ing of great and growing confidence in Mr. Back.
nan and his administration.
