LIVERPOOL, Nov.' 2.
The Royal mail steamer Niagara has arrived
with advices from Boston to the 22d ult., and
$255,374 specie on freight.
The Niagara passed ou the 31st the Baltic, hence
for New York.

The Arabia, hence, had arrived at Halifax, and
the Delta, from Havre, at Boston, on the 22d.
The majority of the Fillmore and Donalson Com-
mittee in Pennsylvania had refused to unite with
the Fremont party in joint electoral ticket. This
would divide the Opposition votes.
In norida the Democratic Governor had been
elected by upwards of 4,000 majority.
According to the Herald, the Congressional elec-
tion so far showed a gain of 52 Ettembers in ten
States for the Democratic party.
A despatch from Cincinnati of the 21st ult.
says:--

" Returns from 88 donaties in Indiana, partially offi-
cial are received. The Democrats claim Willard'a elec-
tion by 7,000 majority, while the Republicans give in
5,500. The Democrats have six Congressmen and the
Republicans probably five, but the returns are still in-
complete, and we cannot give the positive result for
Congressmen."
Another despatch says :
" The Congressional vote in Ohio shows the election
of eight Democrats and 12 Republicans. This does not
include L. D. Campbell's district, as the election of that
gentleman is to be contested by his opponent on the
ground of illegal voting.
The Union Convention to form an anti-Buchans4
electoral ticket assembled at Harrisburg on the 21st:
Most of the counties in the Senate were repre-
sented. A committee was appointed to form au
electoral ticket, who reported the same ticket as
agree
dupon by the Union Committee of Phila-
delphia.
A session of the Episcopal Convention was held
at Philadelphia on the 21st, at which Mr. Bucha-
nan attended. The House of Deputies was notified
that the House of Bishops had erected Kansas and
Nebraska into a separate missionary diocese, and
nominated the Rev. Dr. Clarke, of Waterbury
(Connecticut), bishop. A debate ensued and much
opposition was manifested to the erection of the
diocese, as it deprived Bishop Kemper of a portion
of his missionary field. A resolution was offered
declaring it inexpedient at the present time to
create the diocese. This resolution was negatived.
Judge Chambers, of Maryland, submitted another
resolution, declaring it expedient to form the
diocese,
the mover's object being to defeat the mea-

sure, as he expressed a determination to vote
against his own resolution. A spirited debate en-
sued upon the motion, pending which a recess was
taken till the evening.
The returns (unofficial) from Pennsylvania indi-
cate that the Democrats have carried the State by
no less than 4,000 majority.
" The victory of Buchanan (says the Herald) and a
Democratic majority in Congress, sweep at once to the
winds and to oblivion all the efforts of the North in re-
ference to slavery, and all their aims with regard to
its non-extension. It will confirm and inaugurate the
doctrines of the Ostend manifesto, and proclaim to
the world that the Government of the United Stater,
with the full and deliberate sanction of the people, was
prepared to wrest Cuba from its rightful owners.
The Herald ascribes the check received by the
Fremont party to a variety of flaws in the organisa-
tion and discipline of the Republican party rtself.
Under the heading " Never Flinch," the New
York Tribune says :
" Republicans,—The last report from Pennsylvania
leaves no doubt of a Bachanan majority at the State
election. The State ticket of that party is chosen by
some 5,000 majority in between 400,000 and 500,000
votes. That majoiity can be overcome at the Presiden-
ial election just at hand. We do not say that it will be.
Thousands of votes are polled illegally by the winning
arty. They may or may not be able to repeat the ope-
ration. On the other hand, there are thousands Of
Quakers and other quiet citizens who will vote for Pre'
,ident who did not vote at the State election. On at
(east two former occasions the gains to our side between
he State and the Presidential election were amply large
,nough to secure us a triumph. Now, it may be so
,gain."
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Uerald states that the Secretary of War had trans-
erred nearly all, if not quite all, the troops from
the ports on the Virginia coasts to other stations :---
" Strange and startling as it may appear, I am 101
;hat this has been done for political effect. It is "'
enable th 9 democracy of Virginia, by an apparent peP°'
tar insurrection, to seize those ports about a week before
,he election, as an indication and earnest, indeed, of
what Governor Wise, Jeff Davies, Governor Adams °
south Carolina, and their followers, intend to do if Fre'
nont shall be elected to the Presidency. It is a trick
to frighten the North."
Carpentier, the Northern Railway of Franc„.
e
swindler, had been captured near Newburg while
in bed at night. He was working on a farm'
disguise.
In Kansas 250 emigrants, men, women, an
d
children, had been stopped near the Nebraska I',o.
by a deputy marshal, disarmed and placed under
surveillance. To insure their stoppage 700 The
