AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING.
The America has arrived with advices from Bos-
ton to the 11th, and $437,863 in specie.
The. Northern Light had arrived at New York
with the California mails, and nearly $1,000,000
in specie.
From Boston we have some advanced particulars
respecting the loss of the Arctic. After the first
boat, under the charge of the chief mate, left the
wreck, the other lifeboats. were lowered, and were
filled with the engineers, sailors, and a few pas-
sengers, :and all the officers, except the captain and
third mate. When the boat left a majority of the
passengers were working at the pumps and firing
signal guns, and others launching spars, under the
direction of Captain Luce and the third mate, to
fornts, raft. A panic suddenly seized all on board,

and a rush was male to the raft ; a large number
upon it and into the boats. The sea was then
flush with the dead lights, and in a few mo-
ments more the Arctic sank, and all on board
perished. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the 28th
the survivors in the boat espied a sail, and raised a
handkerchief to attract attention, which they
succeeded in doing, and found the vessel to be the
bark Huron, bound for Quebec, which took them
all on board. The raft was seen in the distance
with one man clinging to it ; he was rescued, and
stated that atter the steamship sank he counted
72 men and four women on the raft, but at half-
past eight he was the sole survivor. During the
night of the 28th Captain Wall, of the Huron, fired
rockets, and kept a horn blowing, but no others
were found. He afterwards fell in with a vessel,
which took 18 of the survivors from the Huron,
and afterwards transferred them to a pilot-boat,
which landed them at Boston. The fate of the
other boats was not known.
The captain of the Huron, ou the morning of the
28th, saw a singular looking craft bear to leeward,
but was unable to tell whether she was a steamer
or a sailing vessel. The following is a list of those
saved in the sixth boat, and taken to Quebec by
the Huron :
The ship's cook, 15 firemen, Thos. Watson, as-
sistant-engineer, three waiters, passengers—Nicollgt
Henry Jenkins, James Thompson, Captain Great],
George H. Burns, Francis Doran, third officer of
the Arctic, Thomas Brennan, assistant-engineer,
snd five waiters were also saved: the persons known
to be in the ship's boat, but who had not turned
up, were,Gurley, first officer ; Baalharg, second
officer ; Graham, fourth officer ; W. Moon, pas-
senger, the boatswain, the chief and seven assistant-
engineers, and four firemen.
The accounts in the Boston papers are very in-
complete and unsatisfactory ; some of the boats
remain unaccounted for. A David Cannon is re-
ported saved, but it requires confirmation.
The following is the latest by telegraph Via
Halifax :
" NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—There is good reason to
believe that the Collins family and many additional
passengers are saved.
" The ship Harvest Queen had 74 deaths on her
passage to New York.
" The Government had consented to admit 0010'
nial fish free immediately.
" The boilers of the lake steamer E. K. Collins
had exploded, killing 23 persons.
" The Indiana free banks paper had been reftised.
" On the Ist of October everything was quiet at
San Juan. In the interior Chomono still held his
position in the Plaza of Grenada, and had taken
the three schooners on the lake, constituting Cas-
tillon's fleet.
• " The democrats had been successful in the Cali-
fornian State elections.
" Nearly two million dollars in specie had been
shipped from San Francisco by two steamers. •
" Business at San Francisco had improved. On
the 10th there was a further decline in the NOW
York stock-market, which was in a depressed state.
"Foreign exchange was inactive—on London
109 to 110 ; there was an active demand for moneh
but the increasing rates of interest and the falling
off in stock speculation had brought out more capi-
tal, and business paper was current at 12 per cent.
" No change had occurred in the cotton market.
The corn market hud advanced. Freights to Li-
I verpool steady, with rather more offering.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY NIGHT.

The United States' mail steam-ship ilermaulip
Captain E. Higgins, arrived off Cowes this even-
ing on her way to Bremen, having left New York
the morning of the Bth inst.
She brings 94 passengers, and specie value
218,000 doll., for England and the continent. On
the Bth inst. the Hermann spoke the Bremen mail
steamer Hansa, 50 miles east of Sandy Hook, and
on the 19th the steam-ship Germania, from Now
York bound to Brrmen, in latitude 49 30, longi-
tude 15 50 W. _

The Cunard steam-ship Canada arrived at Nor
York from Liverpool on the morning of the 6th
inst.

We regret to say that the Hermann brings n°
news whatever respecting the ill-fated steamer
Arctic. Her loss was not known in New York
when the Hermann lelt, although considerable
anxiety was felt at her non-arrival.
There is no news of great political importance
by this steamer, but the Herald announces a new
expedition to San Juan Nicaragua.
With regard to the revolution in Mexico, vro
read in the Herald :
" Our accounts of the progress of the insurgents in
the northern departments of Mexico are very conflict-
ing. On the one hand it is stated that the revolutionists
have taken possession of several important towns in
New Leon, including Monterey, the stronghold which
General Tailor found it so difficult to capture ; and, On
the other hand, it is reported by private letters received
at New Orleans that. the rebels have been dispersed.
The probability, however, is that the popular cause i 4
making considerable progress, although the material
aid rendered to Santa Anna by our Government maY
enable him to protract the struggle."
No change of. note had occurred in the New
York money-market, and prices had not further
declined.

FRAUDS BY A PRETENDED NEWSPAPER AGENT.--On
Saturday a reward of 301. was offered for the apprehen-
sion of a fellow of the name of Rudolph Nicholas Free'
man, with other names, who, independent of obtaining
goods by false pretences, has, in sonic instances, repre-
sented to his "sufferers" that he had long been an adver-
tising newspaper agent and proprietor. About 27 yea r°

the following articles stolen :—A silver teapot and cream-
jug, a silver coffeepot, engraved ; a silver saucepan, two
salt-spoons, two ,dessert-spoons, a gold ring set with
diamonds, and a great many other valuable articles.
The Liverpool papers announce the arrival of Father
Mathew in that town on Thursday night from Cork
preparatory to his departure for Madeira, the genial

invigorating his constitution.

DEATH or SIR CHARLES HULSE, BART.—WO have to
announce the demise of the above venerable baronet,
nephew of the late Field-Marshal the Right Hon. Sir
Samuel Hulse, who died on Wednesday, :IA his seat,
near Southampton. He was son of Sir Edward, the
third baronet, whom he succeeded in September, 1.81.6.
He was born in 1771, and married, July 5, 1808, Marla,
second daughter of the late Mr. John Buller,
Cornwall, by whom he leaves a large family. The de-
ceased baronet is succeeded by his eldest son Edward,
born in 1809. The late baronet was a deputy lieutenant
of Hants. of Norval,

Married, at the cathedral church of Lismore, by the
Venerable Ambrose Power, archdeacon of th.e diocese,
and cousin of the bridegroom, Gervase Henry Bushe,
Esq., son of the late Rev. William Bushe, rit•ctor of St.
George's Church, Dublin to Isabella, eldeot daughter
of Arthur Usher, Esq., of'Ballysaggactmore. The lovely
bride was attired in a magnificent dress of Chantilly lace
over white satin trimmed with white lilies aired orange
blossoms, with veil and wreath to correspond, and ivas
attended to the altar by nine youthful bridesmadda The
bridegroom was accompanied by his brother, Captain
Bushe, of the 7th Hussars. After the dejeuater, the
happy pair started fur Killarney.
THE PATRIOTIC FUND.-It is in contemplation that a
large meeting should be held in the city, in the middle
of the ensuin4 week, in aid of the Patriotic Fund for the
widows and orphans of those who may fall in the pre-
sent war. The step would have been taken earlier but
for the absence from town of some of the very few per-
sons connected with the city included in the Royal corn
misklon. Considering that several of the members of the
Old Patriotic Fund still remain, and that it is from the
mercantile classes of Londim that the largest amounts
are received in almost all public subscriptions, the mis-
take in limiting the present commission so as not to in-
clude any proportion of merchants and bankers has been
a subject of remark,—Tinsel.

CITY, TNN 0 O'CLOCK

The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday wero
estimated at 6,000 bales, including 1,000 American
taken for export and on speculation. The market
closed tamely, without alteration in prices. The
sales comprised 5,000 American, 70 Pernam and
Maranham at 50. to 6id., 30 Bahia at 6d., 200
Egyptian at 50. to 71-d., and 800 Surat at 3d. to
4d. per lb. Railway Shares were firm.
Wheat is up again to-day, making the rise Bs. to
10s. per quarter.
The new stamp duties on foreign bills are yield-
ing largely to the revenue. One firm paid on Sa-
turday as much as 1,7001.
The Indus, with the rest of the Overland Mail,
has arrived at Southampton, and her letters have
been delivered.
A telegraphic despatch, dated yesterday, from
Berlin, states that at St. Petersburg, on the 22d
inst., accounts, dated the 15th and 16th October,
from the Crimea had reached that place, sent by
Prince Menschikoff, in which it is mentioned that
the Allies had succeeded in raising their batteries,
but that the Russian artillery was so excellently
placed as to have prevented their opening fire up
to that date. This is later news than we have yet
had by any other opportunity.
Freights do not rise, although there are fewer

The sailing ship Lightning, arrived at Liverpool
from Melbourne, brings dates of Aug. 20, having
.made an extraordinary quick passage. Her letters
are not yet in town.
The Speedy, which left Sydney July 11, brings
12,576 ounces of gold.
The New York accounts, brought by the steamer
Hermann, state there was rather more activity in
public stocks at the latest date, but the quotations
were fluctuating. Money was in more request, and
the large exportation of specie would cause contrac-
tion on the part of the banks, as it was much in
excess of the receipts. In about a month, how-
' ever, it is considered the money market would be-
come easier. The exchange on England was de-
clining, and shortly regular semi-monthly arrivals
-would take place from San Francisco. Flour had
an improved tendency, cotton was steady, and
freights, since the arrival out of the Canada, ruled
firmer. The dry goods trade was rather more ac-
tive, and the prices realised were higher, except for
German sorts, which went off heavily.
The English Stock Market has been rather firm,
although not active, but the further advance of 4s.
to ss. in the price of wheat, making Bs. to 10s. since
last Monday, has some effect iu checking an im-
provement in the funds. Money in the discount
market is reported to be easy. Consols have
realised 94i to 942 for transfer, and 942 for
account. The New 3t per Cents. have been quoted
93i to 932, and the 3 per Cents. 931 to Bank 17
Stock has been supported at 211, and East India V)
Stock at 232. The premium on Exchequer Bills 20
has been ss: to Bs., and on India Bonds lls. 20
Foreign Securities have been quiet. Mexican 22,g
