AMERICAN NEWS
THREE DAYS LATER FROM THE

UNITED STATES.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING.

The fast-sailing packet-ship England, Captain
'Waite, arrived in our port this evening, after a
speedy passage of nineteen days and a half. By
her we have been put in possession of New York
papers to the 20th ult. Matters bad assumed a
quiet appearance in the political world. The
M'Leod affair had almost ceased to be men-
tioned, and those journals disposed to wage a
wordy war with England were looking abroad
for subjects of quarrel on which to vent their
spleen. Some doubtful information, brought
from Maracaibo, had afforded food for a para-
graph, stating that the Venezuela territory had
been invaded by British troops; and rumours
were afloat of our evil intentions against Cuba.
Little or no reliance was, however, placed on the
latter report.

The Money Market, according to the latest
accounts, exhibited some variation, and had
closed rather heavily. Cotton was also dull, but
Flour was very firm, with a tendency to advance.
The following extracts contain all that is
worthy of notice :
REPORT OF THE APPRAISERS IN THE MAT-
TER OF THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE BANK

The Prince de Joinville, and suite, arrived in this
city from the Falls, last evening, and took lodgings at
the American. The whole party left in the Columbus,
this morning.
The party will tarry a day or so at Cleveland, De-
troit, Green Bay, and then proceed to St. Louis via
Prairie de Chien. Taking the Ohio river, they will re-
turn to the seaboard by the way of Pittsburg and the
interior towns of Pennsylvania.—Bufralo Com. Advertiser.
The Albany Argus of Saturday says:—" We were in
error yesterday in saying that M'Leod passed through
this city on Thursday, on his way to Boston, via Hud-
son., He came no further than Schenectady, taking the
cars from that place to Ballston, and no doubt thence to
Canada." But the Boston Transcript says, that M'Leod
actually embarked on board the steamer Acadia, which
is confirmed through Mr. Harnden's express.
No less than one hundred and twelve men were
recently put on trial in Ogle County, Illinois, on an
indictment for murder. The charge was for having
killed a couple of notorious miscreants named Dris-
coll, who set all law at defiance, and had actually
committed several murders as well as other enormous
crimes, and managed by means of their numbers and
of the wilderness in which they carried on their de-
predations, to escape the reach of the Civil Magistracy.
The entire population of the country had been obliged,
in self defence, to turn out and rid .themselves of the.
nuisance— a nuisance that had placed itself beyond the
pale of the law, and made itself intolerable to the suf-
ferers. They did turn out, and probably inflicted sum-
mary punishment upon the offenders.—We doubt not
that the Driscolls were put to death by their hands,
and much as such an act must be lamented, we are not
quite certain that under the circumstances of this case,
that it should be put down among the ordinary enor-
mities denominated Lynch Law. In such a part of the
country, and in such a state of society, it is difficult to
pronounce judgment against the accused. At all events,
the Jury acquitted the prisoners without hesitation.

COMMERCIAL NEWS. _

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, OCT 18.'
There was a fair business done to-day at the Stock
Exchange, and a good deal of animation at the com-
mencement of sales, but the market closed rather heavily,
and without important change in prices, with the.excep-.
tion of United States and Harlem Railroad. The former
sold at 4 per cent. cash, being 1-2 per cent. below any
former sales, and brio sale !of 25 shares for 1 1-2 sellers
12 months. Harlem declined 1 3-4 from last sales,—so
much for the late report of the Investigating Committee.
Exchange on Philadelphia, 2, 7-8 a 3; do: Baltimore,
2 1-8 a 2 1-4. In Foreign Exchange there have been
no transactions of importance.
The Cotton market is very dull. There have been no
sales worthy of notice.
In the Flour market there seems to be more firmness,
and prices have an upward tendency, though the sales
have been small. We quote Genesee and Ohio at
$5,87111 a 6,00 ; Michigan $5,87-1 ; Troy, $5,621 a 87i-;
Southern Flour is held firmly at $6,25 a 6,50 ; a cargo
of Northern Corn sold for 68 measure, for an eastern
market ; 1,000 bushels Rye, 66 cents. delivered, 65 cents.
offered at the boat.

The market for Ashes is very dull, .and prices of Pots
now range a little lower than previous quotations.
Neithr is there much doing in Coffee or Sugar, and
the Provision market is very inactive On the whole, this
has been a remarkably dull day for all kinds of business.
b 6 seen by an advertisement from the State
Comptroller that on and after Monday next, the bills of
the Commercial Bank (being a Safety Fund Bank) will
be redeemed in Albany at their prat value. They may'
'no* be sold in the street at a tritliqg 'discount.
The Newark Daily Advertiser of Saiurday last, says
—We are authorised to say, that Messrs. E. R. Biddle
and Edwin-Lord, President and Vice-President of the
-Morris Canal and Banking Company, were reruoved from
office yesterday by a vote. of the Board of Directors.
We also understand that.' their successors have not yet
been appointed.
13. P. /IL —The transactions at
the Stock Exchange were quite limited, with in most
descriptions a downward tendency, a few shares United
States Bank sold at 44 and finally closed- at 3 a 4 ; 94
shares Mechanics Bank sold at 24; Drafts on New York
at 102 15-16, and after the board, #l,OOO U. S. Bank
notes at 56i ; Cambden and Amboy closed at 80 a'Bs ;
Vickburg, 3 a 31.
A carpenter's shop and stable on Vine between
Schuylkill 6th and 7th streets was destroyed by fire on
Sunday night about ten o'clock.

I see that one or two of the morning papers of this
day contain a report of the appraisers of the property
assigned by the United States Bank in trust to James
Dunlap and others ; whether this has caused a decline
in the price of the stock of not, I cannot say; you will
see above that the price fell full one dollar a share.
