LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, 10 A.m.
The United States steamer Baltic has arrived,
with advices from New York to the 26th ult., and
300,000 dollars specie on freight.
Congress had again adjourned without electing
a Speaker, consequently there is no President's
message.

The steam ship Northern Light has been seized '
by the Government as she was about to leave New
York, on a Filibustering expedition to Nicaragua.
A large number of the adventurers had been cap- •
turecr.

In seizing the Northern Light she had to be
brought to with a round shot from a revenue
cruiser, which afterwards made the steamer anchor
under her guns.
The British ship Resolute, abandoned in the
Arctic ice, had been taken into Newhaven.
The Hudson's Bay Arctic expedition, in search
of Franklin, had returned, after reaching the place
where Franklin's crews were reported to have
perished. Dr. Rae's report was fully confirmed.
They met Esquimaux in that vicinity who had seen ;
the whites, and gave much valuable information.
On the island were discovered the remains of a boat,
which had been partially destroyed by the natives
for the sake of the wood and the metal fastenings, •
although there was sufficient left to identify it as be-
longing to the Franklin expedition, one fragment
of wood (now as well as some other small relics in
the possession of the Hudson's Bay Company at
Lachine), having the name Terror branded on
it, while another piece has the name of Mr.
Stanley (Surgeon of the Erebus) cut upon it, this
latter being part of a snow shoe, evidently of Eng-
lish manufacture, being made of oak, a species of
woDd no man accustomed to use snow shoes would
ever select for the purpose. No papers or books, •, ;
and no human remains were found. The Esqui-
maux were very friendly, and freely displayed all
their treasures obtained from the boat or found
near it, and these consisted principally of the oars,
used by them as tent poles, the boat kettles, the
empty preserved meat cases, &c., but no papers,
and the natives stated, with every evidence of sin-
cerity
that none had ever been seen or found ;
everything portable was secured and brought back.
It would be useless to recount them all, but we
may mention bar iron, rope with the Government
mark on it, oars branded with the broad arrow,
pieces of buntin (remains of a flag, a letter holder,
a step of a mast, &c., all clearly European, and all
Government supplies.
Advices from Mexico state that the Solent left
Vera Cruz on the 15th ult. with $2,500,000.
From the New York commercial letters we learn
that there was a slight improvement in the stock
market, and a good feeling prevailed. For money
there was an active demand, with an adequate sup-
ply, at the rates previously current, viz., 10 to 12
per cent. The last Bank statement was considered.
favourable.

In exchange the business was not active, and the
market closed flatly at 84 to 9 per cent. on London.
The cotton market ruled quiet, with prices in
favour of purchasers.

Flour had advanced 121 c., in consequence of an
increased export demand.
Scotch pig iron was quiet but firm, at $3l to
$32 ; in other matters there was no material
change.
