ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, 9, A.M.

The Royal mail steam-ship America, Shannon
commander, with advices from New York to the 14th
instant and Boston to the 15th, arrived in the river
at an early hour this morning, and came to an an-
chor off the Rock Lighthouse, the dense fug render-
ing it unsafe for her to proceed, in consequence of
which she was not boarded for the dispatches until
nearly sine o'clock. She brought 112,500 in dollars
in specie on freight.
The America passed the following steam-ships :
At 5.50 P.M., on the 15:h, the Niagara, hence for
Boston; at 5.50 P.M.. on the 18th, the Africa, hence
for New York ; and at 6. 25 P.M., on the 25th, the
Asia, hence for New York.
The steam-ship llumholdt, from Havre and Cowes,
arrived at New York on the 13th inst.

The Royal mail steam-ship Europa, Leitch com-
mander, which sailed from Liverpool on the 28th ult.,
arrived at New York on the 10,h inst.
Two steamers had arrived at New York with one
day's later ad vices from California, and 1,520,482
dollars i❑ specie. The Isthmus of Panama was very
healthy. The Panama left San Francisco on the
15th of August, with 1,585,655 dollars in specie.
The mining accounts continued favourable.
According to the New York Herald the fisheries
dispute was far from being settled, Admiral Sey-
mour having received express orders, sent through
Mr. Crampton since Congress adjourned, to seize
every United States' vessel found within three miles
of the colonial shores. The Herald also states that
Mr. Crampton bad received dispatches from the
British Government intimating that an arrange-
ment had been made. The Herald further says—
" Strange to say, the dispatches of Mr. Abbott Law-
rence and of Lord Malmesbury are quite at va-
riance. There is some misunderstanding and some
bungling somewhere. Mr. Lawrence seems to
think there is no trouble ahead. Lord Malmesbury
is not of that opinion. The British Government,
conforming to the views of the colonists, have not the
least idea of allowing us to fish between the head-
lands of their bays, nor within three miles of their
coasts or shores, without receiving a full equivalent ;
the equivalent required, it is said, is reciprocal.
Free trade between all the colonies and the United
States in all the productions of agriculture, and the
forest and the sea of each, and a full and equal parti-
cipation in all the coast fisheries of the United States,
including the privilege of wrecking, fishing, and
catching turtle in the Gulf and Straits of Florida, and
other southern coasts. This last privilege has been
repeatedly sought by the British Government of the
United States, but has hitherto been refused on the
remonstrance of the Southern States, on the ground
that its extension would afford facilities for the free
negroes of the British Bahamas tampering with the
slaves near the coasts, and on the ground also that the
fisheries were owned by the States, and could not be
disposed of by the federal authorities."
" Negotiations it is known are expected to be set
on foot between Mr. Webster and Mr. Crampton.
Mr. Perley, of New Brunswick, has been here some
weeks in attendance on the British Embassy,
but he leaves here to-morrow. His extensive
information with respect to the colonies, and
especially the fisheries, has, we doubt not,
been found quite valuable to the British
Minister ; and as he is a warm champion of the colo-
nial interests, and writes, his views will, doubtless, be
impressed on any arrangement that may be made.
The negotiations, it is probable, will be opened at
Marshfield, whither Mr. Crampton will go as soon as
Mr. Webster is prepared to enter upon them. The
reciprocity question would probably have been ad-
justed in the late session had Mr. Fillmore
been able to persuade himself that the ad-
justment of such interests was a proper subject
of treaty-arrangement. He resists the idea of
tariffs by treaty, as it is regarded as antagonistical
to the Whig doctrine of protection to manufactures
by revenue tariff laws. Mr. Webster has more en-
larged views. The St. John's New Brunswicker
asserts, on the highest authority, that no settlement
has been made with the United States' Government,
and assures its readers that the Government of that
province was fully alive to the importance of the sub-
ject, and had taken proper steps to impress upon the
imperial authorities the true state of the case, and the
necessity of retaining all its rights unimpaired. The
New Zealand papers mention that a number of the
United States' fishing vessels were about to abandon
the fisheries, owing to the vigilance of the cruisers."
In reference to the Lobos Island question, the
National Intelligencer contains the following, under
date :

" Legation of the United States, London, Aug. 24.
" Dear Sirs,—l noticed in the New York Herald of
the 11th inst. an article, copied into the Times ot this
morning, intimating that I had consented, on the part of
the United States, to the monopoly of the Lobos Islands
between Peru and Great Britain. I have not spoken or
written ot these Wands to any person connected with
the British Government—l have received no communi-
cation from the Government of the United States rela-
tive to them—l have expressed no opinion about them,
nor, indeed, have I made an examination to form an
opinion. I am, therefore, at a loss to know the reason
for !Such a statement.

" I am, dear Sirs, very faithfully,
" Your chedient servant,
" ABBOTT LAWRENCE."
Havannab dates to the 3d inst. mentioned that the
island continued in a state of excitement. No execu-
tions had taken place.

Sandwich Islands advicea to the 17th July state
that a reduction had been made in foreign tonnage
dues.

We have Kingston, Jamaica, accounts to the 6th
inst. The La Plata arrived on the sth. The small-
pox had nearly subsided. Some shocks of earth-
quake had been again experienced. Plenty of rain
had fallen.

- - Advices from San Juan del Norte of the Ist, state
that Munoz, with a large number of French and
Americans, had taken Leon, and marched on Realejo.
Dates from Lima to the 10th of August mention
that the whole of Peru was up in arms in consequence
of the advices from the United States respecting
Lobos. The Government were making extensive
preparations for their protection.
The New York stock-market was firm, without
change. The inoney•market had been slightly de-
pressed, but had assumed a better feeling, and a fair
amount of sales had taken place. Foreign exchange
was in moderate request. Bills on London, 110 to
1104; Paris, 5.134 to 5.15.
The cotton-market was more active, and prices had
slightly advanced.
Wheat and flour had a downward tendency. The
English accounts being unfavourable, Indian corn
was in good demand.
pig iron was in good demand; 100 tons
had
Freights to London.—Flour, ls. 9d. to 25.; to-
bacco, 255. to 305.; measurement goods, 20s. to 30s.

ARRIVAL OF THE WASHINGTON.
By the United States steam-ship Washington;
which arrived at Southampton yesterday, we have
New York papers to the 11th.
The correspondent of the Atlas writes that the
commander of the English cutter Netley continued to
annoy American fishermen. On the 20th of August,
the Netley boarded the schooner Powlona, Captain
Coggins, and Leader, Captain Hibbard, both of
Lubec, between Campo Bella and Grand Merin,
where there was no fishing ground, and after search
ing the vessels, endorsed on the licence " found under
suspicious circumstances."
The commander of the Netley told Captain Coggias
he observed the Yankee papers stated there would be
no more trouble to the fishing vessels. He would
like to know, be said, where they got their informa-
tion. They would find him doing in future, just
as he had always done.
The correspondent states that he obtained his in-
formation from Captain Coggins.
The New Yore Herald says—
" The fishery question is not yet settled. Notwith-
standing all the satisfaction manifested in Wall-street at
the supposed concession of the British Cabinet, the ques-
tion stands in state quo, just where it has stood for the
last thirty-four years. The difficulties, from two diffe-
rent constructions of the treaty, between her Majesty's
colonies and our American fishermen, continue the
same; and the position of the British Government, in
regard to the bays and harbours of the fishing grounds,
is still the exclusion of our fishermen, except as a matter
of special indulgence. Meantime the vast increase of
American fishing smacks in these debatable waters, and
the increasing discontent and hostility of the colonists
against ' the poaching Yankees' call earnestly not only
for a plain and definite, but for a speedy and compre-
hensive adjustment of the whole question."
Cholera is still reported from Cincinnati and Ro-
chester ; in the latter city 14 deaths took place on the
9th and 10th inst.
The returns from 169 towns in the state of Ver-
mont show the elections of Whig state officers, but
by majorities smaller than those of last year.
The Boston Courier, Mr. Webster's confidential
organ, says—
" We see it stated in various quarters that Mr. Web-
ster contemplates publishing an address to his friends
advising them as to the course which they ought to pur-
sue, and urging them to refrain from using his name in
connexion with the presidency. These statements are
put forth by editors of Scott papers—gentlemen who
opposed Mr. Webster's interests at Baltimore on grounds
of private malice, and after wards exulted in the result
of the doings of the convention. Mr. Webster has
written no letter upon the subject of the presidential
election, nor will he do so in a ' few days.' His friends
have not solicited his advice as to how they should vote
in November next, and, as they have not, he will hardly
I volunteer it. All speculation and threats on the part of
Mr. Webster's enemies are useless; they eannut break
his silence."
The coroner's jury which sat to investigate the
causes of the explosion of the Reindeer steamer, has
