LATEST FROM AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE NORTH AMERICAN

The Montreal Ocean Steam-ship Company's screvin
steamer North American, Captain Thomas Aiton, arrived
in Liverpool yesterday, with the Canadian Mails, having
sailed from Quebec on Saturday, the 19th ult. Besides
the mails, and a valuable cargo, the North American
brought 49 cabin and 60 steerage passengers.
The general intelligence by this arrival is not im-
portant.

A contract has been entered into with Mr. McGreevy
of Quebec, for the construction of the Departmental
and Parliamentary Buildings at Ottowa. There were
fifty competitors for the contract, including several
Americans.

• The Victoria Bridge has had a narrow escape from
having an important portion of it destroyed.. In taking
down a part of the scaffolding at a completed portion of
the bridge, a mass of the scaffolding material fell on, an
incompleted part of the iron work (~f .another portion,
greatly endangering its stability. Fortunately, however,
no great damage resulted, and there is now every pros-
pect of the bridge being completed before the navigation
of the river is closed for the season.
THE SAN lIJAN DIPLOMATIC CORICESPONDIZNCE.—
The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
North • America): writes as follows :—" Washington,
Nov. 13 : In the present state of the negociations with
England, concerning the San Juan affair, the corre-
spondence canno:-, be, submitted to Congress, or form
the subject of comment in the President's Message.
It will be referred to only as a question still
pending between the two , Governments, and
with , the expression of a, hope of a satisfactory
solution, which is entirely justified by, all the
fants, as has already been stated in this correspondence.
The British Government has been officially informed
that General Harney's act in taking possession of the
island, and asserting exclusive jurisdiction was unautho-
rised by any instruction or order issued here. , This dis-
'avowal would probably have relieved the, complication
entirely if it had been followed by a withdrawal of. the
troops, which the Administration declined doing, as it
'Would seem to.. involve a concession of the whole
point in• dispute, and perhaps be magnified .into an
absolute Surrender of all claim to the territory. Another
reason which, perhaps, operated in producing this con-
clusion was the conviction that the, Oregon treaty
conclusively fixed the title of.thediland in the, United
States, though the bOundary line liaS never been,run,
and is still, by the policy which Governor Marcy wisely
adopted as a means of preventing further embarrass-
ment,
_open to negotiation.".,

Under date of the 16th November, the correspondent
of the: New York Daily Tribune says.:—" The, last
intelligence at the War Pepartment represents that the
Brownsville foray was prompted by plunder mainly.

ACCIDENT.

—The railway station at War-
rington 'was the scene of an accident which adds another
to -thp innumerable instances of incautiousness on the
part 'of passengers. William 'Hales, cow-keeper, Ken-
sington, had been to Warrington fair. On arriving at
the railway station in the evening, the train was just
about to start; there was, consequently, a great rush by
the crowd to obtain places. Hales, in attempting to
step into, an empty division, was pushed over the side of
the platform, between two of the carriages. The train
at that moment was set in motion, and the unfortunate
man was literally', cut in two, the train having passed
over his thighs. Death,,of course, ,was almost instan-
taneous.

TRADE MASKS.—As this is a subject of great import
ance to every one, and is exciting much attention at the
present time, we beg to direct the attention of our
readers to the report, which appears in another column
of our paper, of a law case, Wotherspoon v. Turner
and another," decided in the Court of Chancery on the
25th November, from which it will be seen that the
plaintiff succeeded in obtaining an injunction restrain-
in.. the defendants from imitating the labels of the
Glenfield patent starch. Although we are quite alive
to the necessity of the legislature adopting u4eans for
the suppression of this class of frauds, we nevertheless
think that the pUblic Would suffer much less, by them
were every one, having' the 'opportunity, to follow the
spirited example of Messrs. Wotherspoon and Co., who,
we believe, have now for,the fourth time, at very great
trouble and expense' been'sdeceisful in suppressing imi-
tations of the labels of their well-known " Glenfield
Patent Starch."

LECTURE.—The fourth and last of the course of lec-
tures en the Scripture,.hy the Rev. Dr. Baylee, was de-
livered last 'night in' Hope call. A very considerable
audience was in attendance. The particular view of the
subject to which the lecturer confined himself was "The
religious and moral teaching of the Scriptures." He
cited successively a number of the most prominent argu-
ments raised by 'the perverse ingenuity of infidelity
against the*Bible as the standard of morals and religion,
quoting from the authors the charges they bring against
the,book, and answering.them out of it. The rev..gen-
tiemat was warmly applauded ; and, at the close, a most
cordial vote of thanks was passed for the valuable in-
formation he has communicated throughout the course.
HENGLER'S CIRQUE VARIETE;—This attractive place
of .amusement has assumed a new phase, by the intro-
duction of the steeple chase and the wonderful globe
performance. Indeed, everything that can please and
satisfy in the way of equestrian performances is to be
found in the circus. Whilst the able and, judicious
management of Mr. Russell commends itself highly for
the comfort and convenience which are afforded to
thousands who assemble, Mr. Ilengler, the spirited pro-
Prieto; leaveS nothing undone to delight and amuse the
dense midience. The clowns, W4tiop,:Bibb, &e., keep
the assemblage in bursts of langhter during the per-
formance, whilst the favourite performance of Mr.
Hengler himself is a rich treat. We understand that
SatUrday next will 'be a grand gala, day, owing to 'the
performances being under the patronage of the Earl of
Seften. Those who have not visited this Place of
amusement should do so, and embrace the opportunity
of witnessing the exploits of this fine company, of

VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT.

MEETING. AT THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION

LAST NIGHT

Last night a crowded meeting of the inhabitants of
Everton and the surrounding district was held in the
Collegiate Institution, for the purpose of aiding in the
formation of a Volunteer Rifle and Artillery Corps.
His Worship the Mayor (T. D. Anderson, Esq.) pFe-
sided; .andamongst other gentlemen Present were Messrs.
T. B. Horsfall, M.P., A.-Hodgson, I. J. Stitt, J. New-
lands (the borough engineer), Brakell, Thompson,and
T. Chilton ; Colonel Faulkner, the Rev. Mr. Lomas,
the Rev. Dr. Macnaught, &c., &c.
The Secretary read letters of apology for no:t-attend-
ance from S. C. Ewart, Esq., M.P., Charles Turner,
Esq. ; Benjamin Heywood Jones, Esq., deputy-lieuten-
ant ; Captain Mends, R.N. ; and William Brown, Esq.
The CHAIRMAN, on rising, was greeted with enthusi-
astic cheers. He said :—I need not assure you, ladies
and gentlemen, of the pleasure that it has given me to
accept the invitation of the gentlemen of Everton to
take the chair this evening, on the present gratifying
occasion. I only regret that it was out of •my power to
an earlier day. This will ex-

V -
Rirkdale, who are almost always foremost in carrying

country are concerned (loud -cheers) have not had a
meeting ere this, to inaugurate the formation of an
Everton corps. (Cheers.). I may mention that a depu-
tation waited upon .me last week from Everton, to state
that the gentlemen .of that district were anxious to have
a'mbeting, and'that they wished me to take the chair.
Unfortunately, when they called I was engaged every
evening until the present, or we would have had a meet-
ing ere this. I wished them to have had a:meeting, and
had atiother chairman, but they were kind enough to
say that they would postpone the meeting. till I was at
liberty. Having already expressed my opinion upon the
volunteer movement, and havinc, shewn `my readineSs to
encourage it. in 'every way that I could, it -will not
be necessary for me to ,say much on the. present occasion.
I shall merely observe, that in ,the present state of the
continent I think, it seems to me, that it is the general
feeling,- that not only for the defence' of our Queen and
country, but for the protection of our families against
unnecessary alarms, and of our commerce from panics,
that,it is advisable—yea, necessary—that we thould
hie a strong. permanent volunteer force in the country.
(Cheers.) Liverpool has nobly done her duty, and I
believe at the present time she has *a larger number of
volunteers than: any town in the country. (Lod
applause.) •At . a meeting, this afternoon, of the
Rifle - Brigade Association, I got a statement made
up as correctly as possible, of the number of--volun-
teers which had been already enrolled, and the number
amounted to-upwards of 3,000. (Loud cheers.) There.

I I T. B. HOASFALI

Esq., M.P., then rose' and, was
received with rapturous and prolonged applauk: He
said—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, when I received an
invitation to be present here this evening,, I certainly
did not expect the honourable post to be assigned to me
of moving, the first resolution. , 'Sir, there is something
intensely ' interesting and intensely exciting in this
movement, and in this meeting. (Hear hear.) And I
think, sir, you may take it as a guarantee that you will
receive in all the duties of your office, whether they
be . duties pertaining naturally to the office of
chief magistrate, or duties arising from the present
extraordinary times, that you will receive the unanimous,
the cordial, and the zealous support of all your
fellow-townsmen. (Loud applause.) Being myself
a native of Everton, I
_rejoice in being permitted
to take part in this meeting. , I rejoice, sir, too, to have
this opportunity of taking part in this meeting, because
my absence from Liverpool prevented my attending you,
sir, 'at the great meeting at St. George's-hall. (Ap-
plause.) And, although I observed that one of
our local papers, probably inadvertently, no doubt,
stated that I was that day in Liverpool and attend-
ing Mr. Rarey's entertainment—(laughter)—l hope
I need not assure you, sir, that this is a mistake.
At least, I can only say, interesting as these enter-
tainments may be, I should, have felt that I was
wanting in respect to you—wanting in duty to my
Sovereign and my fellow-townsmen—(applause)—if I
had gone there instead of to St. George's-hall. (Ap-
plause.) Well, sir, we are asked on the Continent—ond
it has been asked in this country—what is all this arming
for ? Sir, a reply has already been given—given from
every town in the kingdom—that is not for any, purpose
of aggression—(hear, hear)—it is not to' attack other
nations—it is not to invade other countries—(hear, hear)
—but to tell them all that we are prepared to defend our
own.. (Loud applause.) Sir, I have often been tempted
to, feel some degree of pride in the honourable position
in which my fellow-townsmen have placed me. I have
felt proud of their intelligence, and of their
,commercial
enterprise., But, sir, if there is one thirig more than
another of which a representative of Liverpool may feel
justly proud, it is the loyalty and public spirit of its
inhabitants. (Cheers.) But, Mr. Mayor, it is asked
again—What is the cause of this movement ? It has
been well said, sir, that England herself is the cause—
the innocent cause of the whole movement. Her free-
dom, her faith, her independence, her gigantic power,
her treasures, and her triumphs are the hate of despots
and the envy of the world. (Prolonged applause.)
Sir, I know that many gentlemen are here to address
this meeting, and I shall therefore confine myself to'simply
moving—" That in the opinion -of this meeting it is
most desirable that every assistance should. be gwen to-
the volunteer artillery and rifle movement ; and that this
meeting pledges . itself to promote this object by every
means in its power." The non, gentleman resumed his
seat amidst considerable applause.
Mr. Councillor---SrLTAseconded- the resolution. He
whateYer differences of opinion might exist on:
many topics in this free country, and however pertini-
ciousl), at the proper times we might; be in the habit of
adhering to those opinions, yet, .there were many sub-
jects upon which they could all cordially agree; there
where many -occasions when .-party spirit and party
strife must cease ; and where and when more appropri-
ately, than when we met, as on this evening, upon the
platform of -our. common patriotism. (Applause)...
Only let the faintest impression be entertained that the'
person or the throne of our beloved Sovereign are even
remotely threatened—that the dear-bought liberties of
our native land were men.aeed—or that the graves-
of our forefathers were in danger of being polluted
by the foot of any foreign foe ; and they would touch
a chord in the national breast, of England that thrilled,
as with electric, stroke, from the Land's End to John
o',Groats. (Applause.) And. such a chord, he con-
tended, had been touched now ; and it had met with a
rapid and ready response. (Hear, hear.) He regarded
the indirect benefits of the volunteer • movement to be
great, and held that they would be a gigantic step
