LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
The arrival of the packet-ship Cambridge, Pea-
body, from New York, places us in possession of
papers from that city to the day of her sailing, June
16. The news is not'important.
The following appears in a New York paper of
June 16 :
" There were no later arrivals at New Orleans.
Captain Lauma, of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, in-
forms the Picayune that the enemy were fortifying Rio
Frio, and rapidly progressing with the fortifications
that an English courier had arrived at Vera Cruz the
night before the New Orleans left, who said positively
that 20,000 Mexicans were engaged on the works ; but
another account reduces the number to 12,000. Captain
Lauma estimated the total number of effective men that
General Scott can concentrate at Puebla at 5,600, inde-
pendently of those recently arrived.
" The seat of government had been removed to a
small place south of the capital. The city was in a
beautiful state of confusion."
The following is the latest market news:—

MARYLEBONE.
At a meeting of the Marylebone Reform Associtstie„;
held on Thursday last, it was agreed that the three the
candidates for the representation of the borough in, of
ensuing Parliament should be subjected to a ballot
osC
the whole Liberal constituency, in order that the
favoured alone should stand, and subsequently a re°t'—d,
for including Sir B. Hall in that ordeal was carried by
,'"
majority of seven only. On Saturday, however, Sir P'
Hall addressed a letter to the secretary of the Marylir
bone Reform Association, declining to submit to the pt °:
posed test, upon the ground that it was most unusual
call upon a sitting Member to do so, and referring to i,ies,
plan pursued in 15,41, when Sir C. Napier was chosqve'ci
the ballot of the electors, he (Sir B. Hall) beintgartecseirii6.. .

as a candidate of course. The letter stated, b
Hall, having received votes of approval so rtelf
dente at two very largo meetings of the electors 9' the
held, was determined to submit his pretensions At Of
constituency at the day of nomination. The .eOO of
this repudiation of the proposed preliminary electient it
Sir B. Hall is as yet somewhat dubious, as at preSig feel
cannot be known how far the other candidates but
themselves bound by the existing arrangement'' Any
there is a very strong feeling in the borough thatin
candidates are to be subjected to this test it wi"'
common fairness, to be applied to all.
