LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, 4 A.M.

The North American mail steamer America,
Captain Harrison, has just arrived, wi accounts
from New York to the Mb, and from Halifax to
the 19ch instant. The run from Halifax to Liver-
pool occupied only eight and a half days. In
Canada the excitement which succeeded to sign-
ing of the Rebellion Indemnity Bill by the Governor
General of Canada, and which found vent in the de-
struction of the Houses of Parliament by incendi
aries, as well as the burning of that official in effigy
in almost every town in the two provinces, is rapidly
subsiding, and solla, temperate, and calm action is
taking place.
The association known as the British American
League is increasing rapidly in point of numbers,
and branches are being formed in the upper province.
Sir Allan M‘Nab has been appointed special agent
to proceed immediately to England and urge the
Home Government to disallow the Rebellion Bill
and recal Lord Elgin, as the only method by
which British dominion in Canada can be
maintained.
A slight enzeute took place at Montreal on the 9th
inst. The military were called out and restored
order. Strong detachments of troops are kept sta-
tioned about the present Parliament-house. Beyond
this slight affair no disturbance had taken place.
A serious riot had taken place in New York on the
10th, in consequence of Mr. Macready's determina-
tion to perform at the Astor House. Dense crowds
assembled round the theatre with the express deter-
mination to insult Mr. Macready.
Some persons were arrested for disorderly conduct,
and in revenge they attempted to set fire to the theatre.
The mob outside then commenced an attack on
the house, the military were called out, and 20 people
killed. The verdict of the jury was to the effect that
circumstances justified the authorities in giving the
order to fire on the mob, but that had a sufficient
number of police been called, the use of fire-arms
might have been avoided.
The following is a sample of a number of placards
extensively posted about New York :
"Americans! arouse: the great crisis has come. De-
cide now whether English aristocrats and foreign rule
shall triumph in this, America's metropolis, or whether
her own sons, whose fathers once compelled the base-
born miscreants to succumb, shall meanly lick the hand
that strikes, and allow themselves to be deprived of the
liberty of opinion so dear to every true American's
heart. Americans come out and dare to own yourselves
of the iron hearts of '76."
The Southern mail has arrived, bringing us New
Orleans papers to the Bth inst., which mention the
arrival of the ship Tyrone from Vera Cruz, with
accounts from San Francisco to the 7th of March.
The steam-ship California was still lying entirely
deserted by her crew, which accounts for her non•
arrival at Panama. The crew were busily engaged
in digging gold, the reports of which are fully con-
firmed. Lots in San Francisco were worth from
5,000 to 30,000 dollars.
The gold region extends into Lower California.
Late Mexican papers state that General Don P.
Garcia Conole, Commissioner to run the boundary
line on the part of Mexico, hal left San Francisco
for the purpose of meeting a Commissioner from the
United States, furnished with the rations for one

year.
Venezuela accounts of the 233 of April mention
that President Monagas had resigned.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW Yons, MAY 16.—The money market is quite
easy. There is little or no speculative demand for stock.
The price of United States' Sixes maintains itself, as
well by reason of their comparative scarceness in the
market as by the recourse to them, as more favourable
remittances to England than bills of exchange at exist-
ing rates. Exchange on England is rising, notwith-
standing the considerable sum in stock recently remitted
it is now in demand at from 8 to 81, quotations which
forbid any further importation. On Paris Fives, 26;
to 25; on Bremen, nit to 79.
Bread Stuffs, &r.—There was no change of moment
in flour; the market was steady at the recent concession
in prices since the steamer's news, with more doing.
The sales embrace the usual variety of brands, including
a considerable lot of low grades for export. There was
no marked change in meal or rye flour. Sales of Gen-
nessee Wheat, with a small lot of Virginia, were made
on terms stated below. Corn sold quite freely, but on
easier terms to purchasers. There was fair business in
groceries, with sales of sugar and molasses on terms
stated below. Pork was less firm, and sales made on
terms in favour of purchaser.
Cotton—The market has continued rather quiet, the
transactions being only moderate; prices, however, are
steady, not having varied during that time. The receipts
of cotton at all the shipping ports are 2,437,768 bales,
against 1,986,282 to same date last year, an increase this
season of 451,486 bales. The total foreign exports this
year is 315,295 bales more than last ; say 338,357 bales
increase to Great Britain, 26,959 decrease to France.
22,766 increase to the North of Europe, and 18,869 de-
crease to other foreign ports. The shipments from southern
to northern ports are 180,747 bales more this season
than last, and there is a decrease in stock of 25,216.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
EX FAKTE.—SIMPSON V. THE TOWN-CLERK OF LITCHFIELD.
Mr. W lIATELEY applied for a mandamus to be di-
rected to the Corporation of Litchfield, to compel them
to show cause why they should not pay Mr. Simpson an
annuity of 501. 183. 2d. from the time of the passing of
tho Municipal Corporation Act in 1835 instead of 1844.
It appeared that three of the Lords of the Treasury de-
cided that Mr. Simpson should receive an annuity of
501. 185.21, as compensation for having been deprived of
the office of Tuw•n•Clerk, in accordance with the provi-
sions of the Act. The Corporation had originally
awarded the applicant an annuity of 301. He appealed
against the order to the Treasury, as provided by the
Act, who decided that he should receive au annuity of
501. 183. 2d. from the 9th of September, 1835, which
they subsequently rescinded, on a communication from
the mayor, to January 9, 1814. Now it was contended
that the Treasury had no right to alter their first order,
fur if they had that power there was nothing to prevent
them from making a third :order, and that the corpora-
tion must obey the first.—Rule granted.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
;Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice WILDS;
and Justices COLTMAN, MAULE, and CRESSWELL
BAILEY V. WILKINS.

In this case, some time ago, a rule to show cause was
obtained, why a nonsuit should not be entered, or a
verdict for the defendant. It was an action for money
paid; the plaintiff beine, a gentleman on the Stock Ex-
change, and the defendant residing at Swansea. It
appeared that the defendant authorised the plaintiff to
purchase for him twenty Vale of Neath Railway shares,
at one and a-half discount. The plaintiff; accordingly,
bought twenty of those shares, at 21. discount, which
would leave 101., and he charged the defendant Is. a share
fer commission and received the money amounting to
11/. It afterwards turned out that before the purchase
by the plaintiff a deposit of 21. per share had become
due, and the plaintiff was obliged to pay that deposit,
amounting to 401. He then commenced his action to
recover the 401. from the
person defendant.living

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
QUEEN V. ANSILL AND ANOTHER:,
Mr. PARRY applied for a rule calling uponXr.
.Bevan,
the prosecutor in this ca,..e, to show cause why the indict-
ment should not be removtd to the Court of 9,neen's
Bench. The defendant Ansill, who is the proprietor of
the Satirist newspaper, with a young woman named
Mills, was committed some time ago from Bow-stroet on
a charge of misdemeanour for writing threatening let-
ters to the prosecutor, but before the indictment was
preferred at the Central Criminal Court, a judge's order
was obtained to remove it into this court, on condition
that both Ansill and Mills put in bail for their due ap-
pearance in the Queen's Bench. Mills, however, did
not attend at the la,t sessions to answer the charge, and
upon its being stated that she had absconded to Boulogne
her recognizances were
.estreated. It was quite impos-
sible, therefore, for .Ansill to comply with the conditions
