AMERICAN NEWS

ARRIVAL OF THE OXFORD.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING.

We have received by express from Liverpool
New York Papers, two days later than those
brought by the Acadie steamer. The Oxford
packet ship, Captain Rathbone, was telegraphed
off Point Lynas, at 11, A.M., yesterday, and was
towed in by a steamer about half-past ten last
evening.

The Patrick Henry from New York, which
was to s:111 fi•oni New York on the 7th inst., is
telegraphed, but no letters or papers have yet
been received. The following extracts from the
New York Enquirer furnish the latest news up
to the Ist inst. :

At the Stock Exchange yesterday morning the_trans-
actiona were only to a limited extent, and withotit much
variation in prices. •

The Albany Evening Journal says:—" The bills of
the Commercial Bank of Buffalo are received at all the
Banks in this city."
We have no change in the condition of the cotton
market to notice. The sales were very limited at former
prices.

In the coffee, sugar, and provision markets generally,
a good degree of activity prevailed.

PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 31, P.M

There was but little done at the Stock Exchange on
Saturday, and the prices of most descriptions declined
still further. Pennsylvania Bank fell off from $lO to
$l5 a share ; Philadelphia Bank, $1 to $3 ; Farmers
and Mechanics, to 14 ; Girard continued firm, and
with sales at the rates of Friday ; United States Bank,

a 25i- ; Camden and Amboy 11. R., 80 ; North Bank of

The fog on the Delaware this morning was so dense,
that the steam-boat, with the mail on board, and a
goodly number of passengers, was detained by the orders
of the Captain for some time ; finding that there was no
favourable change, a ferry-boat was chartered, and the
mail, with the passengers, were conveyed across to Cam-
den, where they took seats in the cars, and were taken
on by the proprietors of the Camden and Amboy line,
causing wily a short delay.
BALTI3IORE, OCT. 31, NINE A.3L—There were seven
persons implicated in the murder of Bigham—six have
beets tried, and four of them convicted. There remains
one more to be tried (Peter M'Collum), and he, it is
supposed, will be cleared. Besides these seven, there
are four other persons confined in gaol on a charge of
murder, which will make, when they have been tried,
eleven murder cases for this Court.

There was an attempt at cowhiding on Thursday.
The parties in the affair were David Duckett and Col.
S. D. Walker. The attempt at cowhiding was made by
the former, but the latter, though a small man, made so
successful resistance, that, as the lawyers say, Mr. It.
took nothing by his motion but a bloody nose.
Our Money Market without being tight is not easy.
The offerings at Bank are large, but not greatly be-
yond their ability to meet. There is a continual de-
mand for drafts on New York, and the premium has ad-
vanced to 24 a 24. Philadelphia is at ato 14. Virginia
2i and plenty. Specie is going to us every day to New
York. This drain at this time occurs very unoppor-
tunely.

NFTAV ORLEANS, OCT. 22.—HEALTH OF THE CITY.—
The number of interments reported to the Board of
Health for the 24 hours and yesterday at noon, was 13 ;
of which nine were of yellow fever. This is a decided
falling (Alin the mortality.
HEATH or VICKSBURG.— The TVhig of Tuesday the
19th says :—Our sexton reports thirteen interments for
the last five days, though there is not more than half of
them from yellow fever. From the new cases that oc-
cur daily we cannot say that the fever is abated—though
from what we can learn it is of a milder type than it
was some days ago.

ARRIVAL OF THE PATRICK
HENRY.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
By the arrival of the packet ship Oxford, Capt.
Rathbone, last night, and the Patrick Henry,
Captain Delans this morning, we have received
papers from New York to the 10th inst., the
Patrick Henry having made a rapid passage of
nineteen days.
The Halifax and Boston Mail Steamer Bri-
tannia arrived at the latter port on the 7th, after
a stormy passage ; she sailed hence on the 21st.
The Great Western, which sailed from Bristol on
the 23d, reached New York on the Bth, at
night. The commercial news by this arrival
presents no new feature; there was only a mode-
rate demand for drafts on the South. Theunusual
delay of the Cotton Bills this season had had an
unfavourable effect upon the domestic rates of
Exchange on the Southern States, and previous
to the arrival of the steamers, the purchases of
Foreign Bills were unimportant. The rate on
the 9th is quoted 10 91 to 11 10 prem., and on
Paris sf. 20e. to sf. 181 c.
We learn from the Montreal Gazette, that a
Court-martial has been held by direction of
Sir Richard Jackson, the Administrator of the
Government and Commander of the Forces, on
Mr. Johnson, of Colonel Dyer's corps of militia,
for participating in the capture of Col. Grogan,
within the territory of the United States. The
prisoner pleaded guilty, and after addressing the
Court in mitigation, he was sentenced to be dis-
charged from the corps.
There is no other news from Canada of im-
portance. . .
