AMERICAN NEWS.

I ARRIVAL OF THE PACKET-SHIP REVERE.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, 11 P.M.
By the arrival at this port to-night of the packet-
ship Revere, Captain How6s, after a remarkably
quick run of 15;} days from Boston, we have re-
ceived accounts from that city to the 10th, and from
New York to the 9th instant, inclusive. During ber
passage the Revere encountered heavy westerly gales.
The United States mail steamer Washington, Cap-
tain Floyd, arrived out at New York on the Bth inst.
She left Cowes on:the 21st of December—three days
before the Atlantic departed from Liverpool.
The packet-ship J. Z. and Fidelia arrived at New
York on the Bth instant, from Liverpool.
The Boston Atlas of the 10th announces that the
Royal steam-ship Niagara had been seized for a vio-
lation of the revenue laws of the United States.
We question the accuracy of the report, and are at
least satisfied that the affair will not delay the ship s
departure on the 15th instant with the usual mails for
this port.
Our accounts are politically of little importance.
Since the Baltic's departure Congress had not trans-
acted any business of European interest, and our
files are almost exclusively occupied by messagesfrom the Governors of Florida, Illinois, Penns;i:
vania, &c.
From the Philadelphia journals we learn that the
annual message of Governor Johnstone was delivered
to the Pennsylvanian Legislature on the Bth instant.
The message stated that the actual indebtedness of
the State on the 30th of November last was
40,310,094 dollars. It has been diminished a little
more than half a million since the 30th of November,
1848. The treasury receipts during the past year
were 4,438,131 dollars ; the payments were 4,558,193
dollars. The message recommended a system of
banking founded on State stocks. It also discussed
the Fugitive Slave Law, and came to the conclusion
that it was the duty of every citizen to obey its pro-
visions. He objected, however, to some of its pro-
visions, and maintained that they ought to be
amended.

From Canada and Mexico we have no later advises.
From Turk's Island we learn that her Majesty's
screw steamer Plumper sailed from Grand Turk on
the 29th of November, for St. Domingo, for the
protection of British subjects and property in that
island.

ADMISSION OF SOLICITORS IN CHANCERY.--The

EXTENSION OF SMITHFIELD MARKET.—The com-
mittee or trustees of Smithfield-market have erected a
wooden building on the vacant space between Paternoster-
row and Newgate-street (used for the life escapes against
fire), for the purpose of exhibiting a model, on a large
scale, of the new improvements and extension they intend
making in Smithfield, so as to satisfy the public feeling
which so strongly exists against the present market, by
making a great addition to the accommodation, BO long
wanting, for the cattle brought weekly to that great metro-
politan market for food. The model is expected to be open
to the inspection of the public this week.
CLOSING OF HYDE-PARK Dr NIGHT.—The inha-
bitant at one side of Hyde-park, who is removed but half a
mile from a house on the other side which he wants to visit,
must, after nine o'clock r.ae., take a circuit of two miles and
a half or three miles to effect his object ; this, added to the
like distance on return, imposes en him the loss in time of
one hour, and in labour of four miles. There is no good
reason wherefore there should not be at least one open car-
riage
well lighted and guarded by police, free for pas-
sengersway,
aLoughout the night. That upwards of two miles
—from Park-lane to Kensington Church on the south side,
and a like distance from Park-lane to Notting-hill, on the
north side—should be wholly sealed up, appears to be as unne-
cessary as it is unjustifiable, and is a severe infliction of cost
and trouble upon the residents of the great suburbs of Breatr
ton on the one side and of Bayswater and Westbourue on
the other. At this particular crisis a line of road across the
centre of Hyde-park, from north to south,

last worried in a shocking manner by a dog.
The dog,
which was kept chained up in the yard, succeeded in breaking
loose, and fell upon the poor little fellow, inflicting some
severe lacerations upon tiis legs and holy, [and seriously in-
juring his abdomen._
Indeed, had not Mr. Clarke, who was
fortunately close at hand, immediately ran to the rescue, and
he had great difficulty in getting the dog to loose his bold,
the little sufferer must have been killed on the spot. The
dog was immediately shot. The. child is in a vary precarious
state.—Banbury Guardian, ,
