s LIVERPOOL, SATITEDA.Y. Ar-1
The Cunard royal mail steam-ship Persia, Capt.
C. H. E. Judkins, arrived in the Mersey at a
quarter-past seven o'clock last night from New •
York, after a rapid passage of nine days and seven
hours, mean time, having left that port on the
morning of the 29th ult. In order that our readers
may form an idea of the speed of the Persia, we

The Persia brought 183 passengers and 1,4.90,000
dollars in specie. Amongst the passengers are
Madame Bodisco, the widow of the late Russian
Ambassador to the United States, and family,
This lady was a Miss Williams, of Washington,
DC, and one of the most beautiful and accom-
plished belles of that city. She attracted the at-
tention of M. Bodisco, who, although many years
n
he senior, carried her off from a host of other
suitors. Madame Bodisco, in accordance with a
rule of the Russian Government, visits St. Peters-
burg once in every two years, and, on this occasion,
takes her children with her.
The Persia reports the arrival at Boston of the
royal mail steamer Arabia, from this port, and at
New York of the United States mail steam-ship
.Hermann, from Bremen and Southampton, and the
screw-steamer Belgique, from Antwerp and South-
am
Official returns from all the counties in Pennsyl-
vania have. been received. They give a democratic
majority of 2,774. The following comparative
statement of the number of votes cast in that State
at the last and previous election is suggestive :
Total vote in 1856 422,998
Total vote in 1855 325,276

Increase in one year 97,722
In the Legislature the Democrats have a ma-
jority of three on joint ballot.
A letter from Governor Geary, of Kansas, dated
10th October, announces the restoration of peace
in that territory. He says that for two weeks no
outrages have been reported, and that many of the
most notorious characters have left the country.
He adds that he will shortly proceed with a small
force in pursuit of a gang of thieves in the
Southern portion of the territory.
Another despatch received in Washington from
Ggvernor Geary gives the particulars of the cap-
ture of a party of 240 Free States men, 9ommanded
by General Pomroy, Colonels Eldridge and Perry,
and others.

More forged paper had been brought to light on
the examination of Huntington. The amountnow
reaches $54.6,119 49 cents.

The British arctic discovery ship Resolute is now
ready for sea, and will leave as soon as orders are
received from Washington for her sailing.
The New Orleans Delta, of the 18th ult., states
that the proposition of Commodore Vanderbilt to
the Opelousas Railway Company has been accepted
by the directors, and an efficient and regular line of
first-class steamers will soon commence running
from Berwick's Bay to Galveston and Matagorda,
in connection with -the railroad, thus shortening
the distance 24 hours, or about one-half, between
New Orleans and Texas.

A. letter from St. Croix, dated the 19th ult.,
says that there is great excitement prevailing about
St. Domingo and Mexico. It was the opinion that
Spain would annex Hayti, and that Mexico Would
become a vice-royalty.
The Nicaranan news received privately by the
Niagara is partially confirmed in the advices to

hand. The following despatch from Harris, Mor-
gan, and Co., of New Orleans, to-Charles Morgan
and Sons, of New-York, seems to be more probable
iliac that first received :

.T_Ta NA_ 0C!, 22 1 R4e,—The stearnerTennes•
see has arrival. Walker had had two severe Ua4,1C13 ',tuna
tee enemy, in both of which he was succec,ful, the enemy
being routed both at Granada and Managua, with loss,
killod and wounded, 700."

The New York journals publish two official docu-
ments connected with the affairs of Nicaragua—the
report of FatherVijil on the results of his diplomatic
mission to the United States, and the protest of the
Government of Peru against the recognition of
Walker by the Government. The former reports
to his Government that the enthusiasm existing in
the United States for the cause of Walker is un-
bounded, and hints that it is tu no small degree owing
to the reported mineral wealth of Nicaragua. The
protest of Peru shows that that Government is
very mush alarmed at the new order of things in
Nicaragua, and fears that it is only the precursor
of an invasion of its own territory.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, OCT. 29.
The money market is gradually tightening, and an
of discount, equal to 1 per cent., is fully established.
Large amounts are required to meet the heavy payments
due early next month, and banks being unable to satisfy
their customers, the supply of paper in the street is in-
crewing. Very good paper,of long dates, sold to-day at
12 per cent. per annum, and on call 8 per cent. is freely
paid.
COTTON.—The business during the week has been
small, not exceeding 1,000 bales per day. Prices have
declined gc., Midland Uplands being quoted 121 e.
to 12go.
BREADSTUFF& —The flour . market was firm, with a
fair.dPmand for export, without change of moment in
quotations. Wheat was in fair request for export ;
common and medium grades rather favoured buyers,
while choice.white lots were without change.

ARRIVAL OF THE ERICSSON.
LIVERPOOL, S.9.TURAY.
The United States mail steam-ship Ericsson, Capt.
Lowber, arrived in the Mersey, at six p.m. She
left New York on the 25th ult., and has brought
eight passengers and 201,325 dollars in specie.
Her news is anticipated by the Persia.

A FREE-STATES MAN TIED UP AND WHIPPED.—A
most heartrending outrage was perpetrated up )n an
American citizen by a captain in the United States' army.
A few days since, while a company of dragooni were
on their way up to the Nebraska line, they met two
Free-state men on foot. These men were stopped by
order of Captain Anderson, and questioned as to the
movements and intentions of the expected party of emi-
grants. One of the men became frightened, and told all
he knew about them. The other refused to reply to any
of the questions put to him. Captain Anderson became
very much incensed in consequence of this man's refusal
to answer impertinent quest;ons, and ordered him to be
tel up to a wheel and 50 lashes given him upon his back.
This charge against Captain Anderson can be substan-
tiated by the best of testimony, and an inquiry into his
conduct should at once be made by the proper autho-
rities, and, if found guilty, the villain should toseverely
punished for the infamous deed. Bat the victim`
was
e
only a Free-state man, and pro'oably he deserved
thrashing, and got it," and because he loves freedom
better than slavery the outrage upon his person will go
