AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

The royal mail steam-ship America, Captain
Wiclang, arrived in the Mersey at seven a.m.,
with advices from New York to the 9th ; Boston,
10th ; and Halifax, 12th instant, inclusive. She
brought 190 passengers, and 400,000 dollars in
specie. There is little news in the advices brought
to hand ; the yellow fever is on the decline both at
Portsmouth and New Orleans.
The bank statement for the week showed a
stronger position collectively. The accession of
specie from California had not been met with any
demand for foreign export. Greater activity in
money was shown in the aggregate clearings for the
week, which included the heavy payments of the
4th, and showed a larger sum than the clearings of
any week since July, 1854. The reduction of loans
by the banks hail created an active demand for
capital. Paper of the best grade finds its way to
the brokers at Bto 10 per cent. Loans on call
stock collaterals, 7to 9 per cent. The Exchange
market was inactive. London, 108 to 109 i.
On receipt of tie Pacific's advices holders or cot-
ton became anxious to realise, and some sales were
effected at a decline of c. to lc.; an active demand
followed, relieving the market of the most pressing
parcels, and prices recovered c. to ic.

active demand for export to England and France,
and prices had advanced. Sales of Alexandria
(Pioneer) were made at 9 dols. 50c.; Petersburg,

91c. 8,000 bushels of rye sold at 116 c. to 120 c.

buoyant. Rates for call loans, 7 per cent., and for
short first-class paper, 7to 8 per cent. Exchange,

DEATH OF Mit. R. C. TUDWAY, My.— g
of the death of this lamented gentleman, who has for
some years represented the borough of Welle, in con-
janction with the Right Hon. W. G. Hayter (whipper-
in of the Government), reached Bristol on Saturday, at
noon, by special messenger, who immediately car-
ried on the mournful intelligence to the seat frf
of the deceased's father-in•law, W. Miles, Esq., M.P.
for East Somerset, at Leigh Court. Mr. Tudway had
been for some weeks in a hopeless state, his disease
being an affection of the windpipe and bronchial tubes.
He was a Conservative in politics, but owed his election
chiefly to the personal respect in which he was held,
and to local influence. The agent of the Tory party at
Wells arrived here yesterday afternoon, and at once
waited on P. Skynner Miles, Esq., brother-in-law of
the deceased gentleman, who for many years sat in the
house as Conservative meml9er for Bristol. Mr. Miles
was invited to offer himself as a candidate for the vacant
membership, and was offered the support of the Tory
party, but he is understood to have positively declined
the proffered honour. It is rumoured that Mr. Ser-
geant Kinglake, who, it will be remembered, opposed
Mr. Tudway at the last election, will again come for-
ward on the Liberal interest, and it is said that his elec-
tion may be considered tolerably certain, as he produced
on the last occasion a favourable impression,
