NEWS.
(BY EXPRESS.)

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING.
The Cornelia, Capt. French, a fine large new
ship, from New York, came into our river this
evening, bringing New York papers to the 7th
ult. ; thus, in part, anticipating the Ros-
coe, and the Halifax and Boston
steamer, which are both expected every
tide; indeed the Roscoe was signalled by
telegraph to have passed Holyhead, at one
o'clock, P.M., to-day, and will bring one day's
date later than we have now received only. This
is the first voyage of the Cornelia; she is a splen-
did ship, replete with every convenience for her
passengers' comfort. She has brought fourteen
out on this trip, and they have expressed their
gratification at the kind attentions of her Com-
Inander in a very flattering manner.
The following are Extracts from the New
York Papers :
(From the New York Courier and Enquirer, May 6. )
Stocks generally were a little better to-day, although the
operations were not extensive. The sales of United States
Bonk Shares reached about 900, opening at 16, and leaving off
at.; the second board at 17, showing an improvement of
14 per cent. on yesterday's sales. North American Trust
improved j• Delaware and Hudson, 4 ; Stoningten, 1 ; Pater-
son, 1; and Harken' decined
' The operations in Bills on Paris hive been of fair extent
to day at and London, at 711 to 74. Some Southern
Bills, not endorsed here, 107 ; Amserdam, 394 to 40 ; Ham-
burgh, 36 ; Bremen, 761.
Our banks are constantly adding to their stock of specie, as no
export demand exists. Generally they are opposed to loans
on stock of all kinds, but business paper from sixty days to
four months is readily taken. Caution and prudence appears
govern our merchants, and business may be said +.O be
in as wholesome a train as for many years past.
At New Orleans there was an active demote!. for Cotton at
advancing rates. This was attributed to a rise in Exchange,
and a decline in freights, as well as a
growing eviction that
the crop will be smaller than use2l.

PHILADELPHIA, MAY 4.
MEETING OF STO
-..CKHOLDEAS OF THE UNITED STATES
BANK.—The meeting of the Stockholders of the United
States Bank was crowded. The President presented a letter
stating th:.t in compliance with a resolution of the Stockholders,
a Committee had been a?pointed to see what legal liabilities
the former officers of the Bank had incurred,
And to enforce any such liabilities. No new discounts 'mil been
made, and no new business taken without a full Board ; the
Directors had made assignment to protect the post notes new
in the hands of the city banks, but had not been
able to procure legislative authority to make an
assignment to secure the circulation and deposit., as the Le-
gislature refused to make a special alteration in the law. This
gave rise to much discussion, as it was said that the Directors
had exceeded their authority under''the sth resolui 'oh of 7th
April, which empowered them to make the' banks of
the city secure only on condition
the United States Bank should
'teat the notes of
on deposit. This gave rise be received by them

of the Bank, which was pledged to the redemption, if the
resumption did not go on, the Directors were compelled to act
on the authority which they held is Directors, and not from
the authority given by the resolutions of the 7th of
April. In the ceurse of his speech Mr. Bayard
said, that some gentlemen argued as if the Bank was insolvent ;
it was not so, the stock was worth 14 million dollars, and if
the credit of the State rallied, it might become worth 20 mil-
lion do:lars. After much discussion the resolution was lost.
A resolution, proposed by Mr. Josiah Randall, that a trust
be created to protect the currency sad deposits, was carried.
A long paper was presented by Mr. Lippincott, being a re-
ply to the published letters of Mr. Biddle—this part of the
proceedings will require another notice.
The meeting adjourned to the 18th, to hear the report of
the committee on the state and prospects of the Bank.

SUPREME COURT.

(Present Chief Justice Nelson and Justice Coman. )
This Court met yesterday for the Term, and held their sit-
ting in the Chamber of the Board of Assistant Aldermen,
City Hall. No business of importance was transacted.
Alexander 111‘Leod, indicted for murder, in having partici-
pated in the destruction of the Caroline steamer on Niagara
River, arrived in town on Sunday evening, in custody of the
Sheriff of Niagara County, and took lodgings in the Tombs.'
111gLeod is to be brought before the Supreme Court on habeas
corpus, citing the people to show cause why he should not be
released.

(From the New York Commercial Advertiser, May 4.)
REMOVAL OF M'LEOD.
The arrival of this gentleman in our city, this " teterrima
cause, belli," yesterday, took us somewhat by surprise ; and
even now the exact purpose, the absolute bow and why of the
matter, are not very clearly ascertained. There is to be a mo-
tion for a habeas corpus argued before the Supreme Court on
Thursday ; but by whom it is applied for, and with what
object, we are not as yet informed. On Thursday, perhaps,
e shall know all about. it. Our wonder in the matter is that
the application was not made long ago to the Supreme Court
of the United States, where the whole question could be argued
and settled at once.

The Rochester Democrat gives the annexed account of the
removal :

On Thursday evening the Lockport coach brought to this
city the famous Alexander M'Leod, in custody of the Sheriff
of Niagara County, on his way to the city of New York, on a
writ of habeas corpus, i,sued by the Supreme Court, to bring
him before it during its May term in that city. He was lodged
in gaol until the time for the packet to leave for the East the
next morning, when he was brought on board, and took his
departure.

iANOTHER ACCOUNT.)
ARRIVAL OF FLEOD FROM LOCKPORT.—Alexander
M‘Leoit arrived in the steam-boat Swallow, from Albany yes-
terday morning, in the custody of T. Stone, Sheriff of Niagara
County. Mr. J. L. Wood, District Attorney for the County
of Niagara, accompanied the party, and they all took lodgings
at Howard's Ho:el. Willis Hall, the Attorney-General,
and Messrs. Spencer and Bradley, 11I'Leciors Counsel, are
also in town. M'Leod comes here by habeas corpus.
His counsel are to apply to the Supreme Court to-day, for his
discharge, on the ground that, as the destruction of the Caro-
line was ordered by the British authorities, and has been avowed
by the Government, he is not liable to punishment or trial by
the Judiciary of this State. The motion will be heard next
week, end the arguments will cover the whole ground of con-
troversy.
If the Court shall deny the application 1,-,r the discharge of
M'Leod, his counsel will apply for a change of the venue.
This will no doubt be granted, and he will go to trial at such
time and place es his Counsel shall deem advisable. An early
day is wished for by the prisoner, and is desirable on every
account.

M'Leod was ostensibly in the custody of the Sheriff, and no
restraint was imposed upon his motions, and if he bad any dis-
position to evade a trial and go back to Canada, or to the
devil, it would seem that every facility was offered him. He
is a stout, and rather powerful man, and was wandering about
the city yesterday, looking at the lions, with nobody to pre-
vent his escape but the Sheriff of Niagara county, a man much
inferior in point of physical strength.
On his return to Howard's from his stroll, there was such a
rush to see him, and so much excitement, that it was deemed
best to shut him up ; he was accordingly taken to the tombs.
Could there have been any design in sending M'Leod here,
with an escort so insufficient to guard him? M'Leod, it is
understood, has no desire to get out of the way. He intends to
brave it out, unless he is discharged by authority of law. But he
might have been made a fugitive without his own consent. The
State Barber understands the art and mystery of kidnap-
ping—the Sheriff, and M'Leod too, might have been picked
up and shipped for England, or sent to Canada, whether they
wou'd or no. This would have been the easiest mode of
getting rid of the whole difficulty, and there is nothing in the
history or character of the Albany Junto to render the suppo-
sition incredible.

111,1.e0d is apparently some 45 years old, about the middle
height, compactly built—broad, full face, sandy hair and whis-
kers, a small scar on his nose, with a determined and some-
what sullen expression of countenance. He is very well dressed,
of respectable appearance, and might easily be taken for a sub-
stantial Duchess County farmer, come to town to sell butte
and eggs.

SOUTH AMERICA.
(From the New York Journal of Commerce, May 6.)
IMPORTANT FROM NEW GRENADA.—By way of Havannah,
we learn that on the 9th of January General Herran, com-
manding the Government troops of New GreLada, gained a
decisive victory over a body of insurgents, represented to
have been 2,000 strong, under Generals Gonzalez and
Petrie, at a place called Aratoca. Many were
killed, and about one thousand taken prisoners, among
whom were many chiefs and officers of the rebellion.
Other advantages were subsequently obtained by the Govern-
ment troops at different points, ana it was supposed that the
insurgent provinces would soon be reduced to subjection. In
fact several of them were already re-organised under autho-
rities appointed under the general Government.
General Herran, by the: last accounts, had about 4,000 men
under his command in the province of Pamplona, and there
were also two thousand Government troops, under Borrero, in
Popayan. The insurgent forces in Ocana, and on the
whole line of the Magdalena, were said not to exceed one
thousand men ; those commanded by Colonels Vesga
and Lopez having been routed on the same day (Jan. 9)
with the battle of Aratoca. In consequence of overtures made
to General Herren by General Carmona, the former was about
to proceed to Ocana with the hope of effecting a reconciliation
without further effusion of blood. •

The Gazette of Venezuela publishes in detail the news of
the above events, and adds :—"Tire preceding statements give
a correct idea of the state of things ifi Grenada. They autho-
rise us to expect a speedy termination of the disorders which
afflict our sister republic, and the complete restoration
of constitutional order throughout the whole territory. The
victory of Aratoca, and the total defeat of Gonzalez, are con-
firmed by a letter from the insurgents of the (so called) State
of A!azanares. This letter we have seen. It was addressed
by Vincent Gutierrez de Pineres, Commander of a column of
observation, to the insurgent Governor of Pamplona of Cucuta,
and is dated in the parish of La Cruz 22d February."

FATAL ACCIDENT.—Monday evening, dur-
ing the return of the General Steam Navigation Company's
steam-vessel the City of London, Captain Grant, from an ex-
cursion to the Nore and Sheerness, a most afflicting accident
occurred in Long Reach. Two boys, whose parents were on
board, in defiance of an order of the Captain, and an inscrip-
tion painted on the vessel warning passengers not to go upon
the paddle-boxes, ascended one of them for the purpose of ob-
taining a more commanding view of the river and scenery, and
its banks. One of the lads was about to seat himself upon a
stool he took with him, when, the vessel giving a lurch, he
fell overboard, and, as he was falling, seized the other boy,
and (bagged him over with him. A shout from the people in-
formed the Captain that some one was overboard; the engines
were immediately stopped, a boat was lowered, and ropes
thrown out to save the lads, one •of whom was almost directly
picked up by William Rome and Henry Alston, fishermen, of
Gravesend. The City of London was detained for some time.
and the Captain, his crew, and the fishermen searched in all
directions for the other lad, but did not succeed in finding
him, arid the steamer proceeded to London-bridge. The
name of the boy saved is I lenry Appleby, but the name of the
lad who was drowned could not, be ascertained.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
The market for the public Securities was heavy before the
arrival of the news from China, Consols being at 89i 3 for
present transfer. The highest quotation for Consols was 90,
and the market was confirmed in its previously heavy tone on the
receipt of the intelligence from China. The latest bargains in
Consols for Money were at S9l sellers, and for the Account at
90i to 901; Exchequer Bills were at 11 to 13 premium ; the
New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. brought 99* to 983; and
Three per Cent. Annuities receded to eBl and 884; India
Stock was worth 251

In the Foreign Market to-day there was More business doing.
The activity, however, was more on the part of sellers than
buyers, and became attended therefore by a decline in the
current value of nearly every Security. The Spanish Bonds
wore at 23i to 23% ; the New Portuguese at 331 to 331; the
Three per Cents. at 24; Mexican at 28 to 284; Colombian
at 21i ; Peruvian at 15%; Danish at 77i to 77i • Russian at
112% to ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 52&

In the Share Market there was no animation. (rent

In the Exchanges there was an appearance of steadiness to-
day, and on Hamburgh there was a slight improvement. It
seems doubtful, now the French loan is out, whether the rate
on Paris will keep up. Three months' bills were taken as fol-
lows :—Paris 251. 60c. to 62ic. ; Hamburgh 13 14 to

have been purchased by consumers.
LIVERPOOL SHARE-MARKET, MAY 31.—We have had
an exceedingly dull business at the Stock Exchange this day.

Some disappointment was manifested in the city this morn-
ing at the non-arrival of the Britannia steam-ship. from Bos-
ton and Halifax. She was to leave the former thee on the
16th, and the latter the 18th ult.

The packet-ship Roscoe has arrived off Liverpool from New
York. Her day of sailing was on the 7th ult., which will be
four days later than the last accounts. The letters and papers
are expected about three o'clock.

The Overland Mail from India has arrived at Marseilles in
thirty days from Bombay, being the shortest time it bas ever yet
been accomplished in. The dates from Bombay are of the Ist
May. The news from China is of great importance. On the
25th February the Bogue Forts were taken by the British, who
marched on to Canton. The Emperor will not yield. Rein-
forcements had been sent from Calcutta. Keshin had been
disgraced, and sent in irons to Pekin. Sir George Bremer
arrived on the 22d of April at Calcutta.
The above intelligence caused considerable excitement in the
City, particularly among the Tea speculators, and the price
has advanced 2d. per pound, with a firm market.
The news from China has had little or no effect upon the
Funds. Consol, are now quoted at S9k 90 for Money, and 90%
for the Account. Exchequer Bills 11 13 prem. Money is
very scarce to-day in the Stock Exchange.
' In the Share Market there has been but little business doing.
Great Western are quoted at 94 ; London and Brighton, 45k ;

ditto Three per Cents. 204 ; Spanish Active Stock, 234 4 ;

Consols are steady at 93%.
Tea speculators were all on the qui vive : the more so from
the fact of public sales having commenced at ten o'clock in the
morning of about 10,000 packages. The market for Tea, as
is well known, has been in an exceedingly dull state for some
time past, owing to the frequency of the auctions brought for-
ward, and up to the receipt of the accounts received from
China this morning, prices were ruling much the slme as pre-
viously, but at present we may quote an advance of 2d. to 2%d.
