LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.
The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Capt.
Ezra Nye, arrived in the Mersey this afternoon,
after a rapid run from New York of nine days 23
hours, having left that port at noon on the sth
instant.

The Pacific brought 130 passengers and $370,550
in specie on freight.

Tlie steam-ship Tennessee, which left Havre on
the 19th of August for Now York, put into Hali-
fax on the 4th inst. short of coals.

The news per the Pacific is four days later from
New York than by the North Star.

The New York. Herald states, upon the autho-
rity of a correspondent in Madrid, that a private
treaty has been made by France, England, and
Spain, with the Dominican Government, in which
the latter, for a certain consideration, has pledged
itself to the following conditions, viz.:—

" No settlers from the United States, of any class or
colour, shall be encouraged to hold lands or take up
their residence in St. Domingo.
"No land for mining purposes, factories, or coal
depots shall be sold, leased, or ceded, either to private
companies or to the American Government, without the
prior consent of the French and British Governments."
"Now," adds this respectable journal, "let us exa
mine the meaning of these conditions. The island of
St. Domingo covers the free passage of our trade by the
Caribbean Sea and the Isthmus of Darien, as Cuba covers
the Gulf of Mexico and the use of the Tehunnt,.pec tran-
cit. It is a cardinal object with England and France to
keep to themselves the command of those great gates of
communication between the various sections of the
American Union, and to prevent us from controlling the
West India market. This explains the promptitude
with which those powers sent their order to St. Do-
mingo to cancel the treaty with the United States, and
which they effected without the least remonstrance from
our Cabinet. The tame acquiescence of our government
in this outrage encouraged them to follow up their advan-
tage bya triple treaty with Spain for tie general protection
of negro and European interests in the Antilles. This
compact with the Dominican Republic takes away from
the United States the only chance open to them for a
commercial foothold therein, and the allies may now
take their own time to hand over Cuba and Porto Rico
to Sambo and Satan—the rest of the West Indies is
theirs already."

A despatch from Albany, dated Sept. 4, says-
"At the general term of the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, held at the Capitol, in full bench,
Thomas Francis Meagher was, by a special order, ad-
mitted in attorney and counsellor to practise in all the
courts of the State. The court, by the Hon. Chief
Justice Parker, in granting the order, made some highly
complimentary remarks on Mr. Meagher, and stated the
pleasure with which the court recognised his talents and
character by this special mark of its consideration."
The last accounts from Norfolk state that, so far
from any abatement of the yellow fever having
taken place, it was worse than ever, and the panic
among the inhabitants was increasing. The mor-
tality at Portsmouth is also represented as fearful.
The number of deaths in New Orleans during the
Week was 471, including 357 from yellow fever.
This is a considerable decrease, and mostly oc-
curred during the latter part of the week.
The steamer Hetzel, of the' coast survey, burst
her boiler near the Capes of the Chesapeake. It
happened on the 24th ult. Four persons were
killed.
Madame Rachel had performed in New York,
and made a great impression. She appeared on
the 3d of September as Camillo in Les Horaces,
and on the 4th as Phkdre, to crowded audiences, at
the Metropolitan Theatre.
Advices from Havannah are to the 28th ult. Six
persons had been summoned by the public attorney
on a charge of having conspired to murder and
accomi)lish the assassination of Castanedo. They
did not obey. The feast of ,Guanabacio had been
duly observed, and several murders and attempts
to kill had occurred during the religious excite-
ment. The newly-arrived troops from Spain had
suffered from severe diarrhoea, and a few cases of
yellow fever had appeared. The bank scheme
could not be moved on. The wharfage improve-
ments at the landing place are described as very
fine. Santa Anna and family arrived at Havan-
nah on the 24th from Vera Cruz, and left on the
26th for Caraccas.
Mexican accounts to the 22d ult. state that the
flight of Santa Anna, the revolution at the capital,
the adoption of the plan of Ayutla, and the esta-
blishment of a provisional government, with Gene.
