LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING.
The mail steam-ship Persia has arrived, with
advices from New York to the 29th ult.
She has brought $1,490,000 specie on freight.
The United States' mail steam-ship Atlantic,
hence, had arrived at New York on the 28th ult. ;
the Ericsson left New York for Liverpool on the
25th, with upwards of $201,000 in American gold
bars.
The Arctic vessel Resolute was ready for despatch
to England. The greatest difficulty existed in
manning the Government vessels.
Ex-President Van Buren had been thrown out
of a carriage. His arm was broken.
A steamer had left New Orleans with 350 recruits
for Walker. There is no particular news of im-
portance. The Democratic majorities in Pennsyl-
vania were officially reported at about 1,800 ; in
Indiana, at about 5,000.
A despatch from Philadelphia states that in con-
sequence of the failure of the Union movement at ,
the Fillmore meeting on the 27th ult. the Demo-
crats claim the State by 25,000 majority.
In a despatch from the Governor of Kansas he ,
reports the stoppage of a number of emigrants by
his orders, on the ground that they were conveying 1
prohibited arms into the territory. He states that 1
after he had remonstrated with the emigrants they.
disbanded. Ho cautions persons against being de-
ceived into emigrating into Kansas, as there are
already more persons there than cau find employ-
ment.

The Illinois arrived at New York on the 28th
with the California mails and nearly $1,682,000
in specie. The quantity of specie shipped from San
Francisco in September was upwards of $4,570,000.
The Pacific steamer Golden Gate arrived at
Panama from San Francisco on the 20th, with
$2,152,737, of which $472,118 were on foreign
account. The mining accounts are excellent.
From Nicaragua we learn that a correspondence
had passed between Padre Vijil and Walker's
Secretary of State, in which the former states that
Walker's Government had been recognised by the
United States Cabinet since the 14th of May last.
The representative of the Peruvian Government in
New York protested against such recognition in
rather energetic terms. Walker had fought two
battles, in both of which he is alleged to have been
victorious.
At New Granada the Presidential notes were in
favour of Espina.
Advices from Northern Mexico state that Vi-
dano took Mier without resistance, and then moved
against Camargo, which place was defended by
1,300 men. He had 3,000 men under his c )m-
-man d.
Accounts from the city of Mexico to the 30th
of September report that the desamortisation law
was being vigorously enforced ; the property al-
ready confiscated amounted to 56,500,000. Alvares
and Vidaurri are reported as advancing on the
capital.
Advices from Cuba contain a new shipping de-
cree. The tonnage dues, which have hitherto been
collected on the full tonnage of vessels taking any
cargo whatever, 'are to be collected only on the
portion of tons of cargo laden. The same exemp-
tion is extended to light dues.
The New York money market was gradually
tightening, and an advance of discount equal to 1
per cent. was fully established. Large amounts
were required to meet the heavy payments there
early this month ; and the banks being unable to
satisfy their customers, the supply of paper in the
street was increasing. Very good
paper at long

reply to addresses presented to him, and in di 5-
charge of the duty which he had so kindly under"
