market continued to bo rather unsettled. Flour
was about 6c. per barrel higher with a fair amount
of sales. Wheat sold at 1 dol. 45c. to 1 dol. 60c.
for Southern red, and at 1 dol. 50c. to 1 dol: 75c.
for white ditto. Corn was in good supply, alid heavy.
There were sales of Southern mixed at 55c. to 56c.,
and yellow at 57c. No. sales of prime white were
reported. Rye was firm, with sales of Northern
at 80c. to 83c. Pork was inactive, with light sales
at $l9 25c. for mess. Lard was higher, and small
lots of prime of 10,ac. Sales of 400 to 500 hogs-
heads Cuba muscovado sugars were made, and 250
hhds. common to good fair New Orleans were sold
by auction at rates about ic. lower than the last
current prices, although the sale could not be re-
garded as a fair criterion of the market. Rio coffee
was quiet, in view of further public sales to come

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING.
. The Royal Mail steamship Americca has arrived
from Boston and Halifax, with dates from New
York to the 20th, and by telegraph to the 22d ult.,
and $774,692 in specie on freight. The Royal Mail
steamship Canada, heme, had arrived at Halifax.
• In the Senate Mr. Cass had given notice that he
should ask leave, when a convenient opportunity
presented itself, to show that he had been misunder-
stood in certain correspondence by Mr. Crampton
with the British Government.
There is no further definite news upon the sub-
ject of the Central American difficulties. The
Cabinet were deliberating on Lord Clarendon's
despatch.

The New York Herald, writing in reference to
the despatch, says
" We apprehend that this ultimatum of my Lord
Clarendon, and this late Padre Vigil coup d'etat of our
warlike President, will result in a more voluminous diplo-
matic correspondence than all that which has been in-
flicted upon us during the last 12 months. After the
national democratic presidential nominating convention,
however, we are disposed to believe our Pieree's Admi-
nistration will be prepared seriously and honestly to pro-
'eeed' to business in the settlement of our difficulties with
England ; and this convention, fortunately for the great
financial and commercial interests of both countries,
meets at Cincinnati on 2d of the coming June."

In another article upon the same question it
says :

"It has come to this—that either Great Britain or the
United States must break down upon the question of
enlistment. There can be no longer any doubt that we
shall dismiss Mr. Crampton. That will be an act offen-
sive to the present British Ministry, and it will be met
by a refusal of that Government to name his successor.
Diplomatic intercourse between the two nations will be
suspended ; but that amounts to little, and is soon dis-
posed of. Then, are we to recede or undertake the dis-
lodgment of the British authorities in Central America ?
That is the question. The President says in his special
message that Central America has become exceedingly
important to this Republic in view of our positions and
trade on the Pacific side of the continent. We have so
stated to the Government over and over again. The
Isthmus is important as a highway, as a great channel
of trade, and as a bond of union between our extreme
west and our extreme east. It is precisely this fact
which has made Great Britain so strenuous to govern in
Central America, and which will induce the Palmerston
Ministry to adhere to its present line of policy. They
will continue to colonize in that region. They will go
on enlarging their colonial estates, and they will, if need
be, fight for it. It has become a question of might ; the
diplomatic features of the case are no longer visible. It is
now whether we have the means, the courage, and the dis-
position to prevent England's determination from being
carried out. Let Mr. Crampton be dismissed. Let the issue
he made: Let the question be tried. Mr. Buchanan at
Baltimore said we had the largest commercial marine in
the world—that our navy was only third or fourth-rate.
Mr. Buchanan might havo added that we have a vast
seaboard, and great trading interests scattered all over
the world, and he would have presented the case in a
still stronger light had he added that the first and
second.rate naval Powers were greater than all the
others combined. All this bears upon the Central
America affair ; it touches the question of might. We
have good arguments, strong convincing facts. Great
Britain has a great navy—strong and powerful means of
aggression. We have no national policy, no traditional
ambition. England is anchored to a system of aggres-
sions and encroachment which have become the law of
her nationality. In this spirit she has determined to
attain control in Central America, and she will relinquish
this determination only at the end of a war which shall
prove our power on this side of the water to be equal to
our pretensions."

The New York Courier and Enquirer says :
England and the United States will not go to war
except upon the direst necessity that may arise, but we
cannot believe that it will. We shall see Mr. Crampton
leave us with much regret, but with little apprehension."
The Washington correspondence of the Tribune
reports, in reference to the dispute between Mr:
Clayton and Mr. Crampton, that the latter explains
the issue of veracity by saying that Mr. Clayton
called on him to examine some old English maps
on whicn Ruatan and Jamaica were designated
and coloured in the same way ; whereupon Mr.
Clayton admitted that both were evidently British
possessions. With regard to the new Nicaraguan
Minister the same correspondence says,—
"The foreign legations determine not to recognise the
Padre Vigil, socially or officially. It also reports that
M. Sartiges had endeavoured to effect au arrangement
between the Governments of England and the United
States."

Information had been laid before Mr. Marcy,
showing that Commodore Vanderbilt and Joseph
L. White's party in New York had sent a special
message out to inform the British commander in
the waters of San Juan that the steamer had 500
Filibusters on board, and to invite his interposition
to prevent their landing.
In commercial circles a rupture between Great
Britain and the United States is looked upon as au
absurdity amounting almost to an impossibility.
The writer of the money article of the .New York
_Herald says, while the speculators are predicting
all sorts of dangers and damages, the merchants
engaged in foraign trade are quietly and confidently
pursuing their legitimate business. The commercial
article in the New York Courier and Enquirer en-
dorses this opinion, and, relying upon the good
sense of the people in both countries, and the
honesty and the well-known sentiments of the
Cabinets at Washington and London, has no fear
as to a rupture upon the questions now pending.
The Jamaica papers profess to have advices from
San Juan that General Walker had attempted an
attack on Greytown, when the British frigate
Eurydice had fired on him, killing 26 of his men.
The report is supposed to be an exaggeration of the
affair between Captain Tarleton and the steamer
Orizaba.
. Advices from Kansas report that an engagement
was shortly anticipated. Both sides were well
armed, and had field pieces.
The dates from Havannah are to the 14th ult.

There wore 300,000 boxes of sugar on hand, and
prices a little higher. Molasses were scarce, and
held at sto 5l reals per keg of 5i gallons. Ex-
change was more favourable.
The house of Niguden, Larolle, and Co. had ap-
plied for the introduction of 40,000 apprentices.
100,000, they state, are required.
From the New York Commercial advices we
learn that in the stock market a dull feeling pre-
vailed, and the transactions which took place were
at lower prices.
There was a tightness in the money market ; the
current quotations were 7 to 8 per cent. for prime
short mercantile notes, and 8 to 9 per cent. for
four to to six months ditto.
Foreign exchanges were firmer ; bills on England
were in moderate demand at 1091, 1098, and 110 ;
bills on France were quoted at 5161 to 5181.
The cotton market was firm, with a fair demand
at Le. to ic. advance. Flour had improved in
price 12ic. to 25c. per barrel on the better descrip-
tions of shipping qualities. Pork was easier, but
beef was heavy. The Scotch pig iron was selling
at $32 to $33 six months.
Freights to Liverpool were easier, namely, for
cotton, 3-16 to 7-32 of a cent. per lb. ; flour, 2s. to
2s. 3d. per barrel ; grain, sd. to 6d. per bushel.
To London, flour, 2s. to 2s. 3d. per barrel. To

THE STRANGER& HOME.

On Saturday' the foundation-stone of " The Strangers
Home" was laid by his Royal Highness Prince Albert.
This institution is intended to be similar in its nature to
the Sailors' Home, in Wellclose-square, and to be spe-
cially set apart as the home for Asiatics, Africans, and
South Sea Islanders, during their stay in the metropolis.
At four o'clock, the firing of a royal salute announced
the arrival of his Royal Highness, who was accompanied
by Lord Torrington, Lord Abel-corn, and Col. Du Plat
.the.band of the Royal Artillery at the same time playing
the National Anthem. Ills Royal Highness was warmly
cheered on. his arrival, and as his Royal Highness en-
tered 'the marquee, the Hindoos and natives of other
countries who were present made their " salaanis" ac-
cording to the custom of their particular nation. His
Royal Highness was received by the Earl of Chichester,
Dhnleep Sing, and Bishop Carr, and by the Chairman
and Deputy-Chairman of the East India Company, and
was conducted to a ohair of state, on a slightly raised
dais,-in the centre of the marquee, and belle it:was a
similar chaii for his Highness the Maharajah DhnleeP
Sing.
The Earl of CHICHESTER addressed his Royal High-
ness, and eipiained to him the nature and objects of the
institution, and the urgent necessity there was of pro-
viding "The Strangers' Home" for the poor and helpless
natives of far distant countries, who CSMO to these
shores ignorant of the habits and language of the people.
Bishop CARR- having offered up a prayer for tho occa-
sion, the ceremony commenced of laying the stone.
His Royal Highness having been banded a richly-
chased towel proceeded to smooth the mortar, and the
stone was slowly lowered into its bed. His Royal
Highness having used the plumb-line and level, gave
two or three blows with the mallet, and so ended the
ceremony of laying the forndation-stone. The 117th
Psalm was then sung, all present joining in it, assisted
by the band.

His Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Sing then ad-
dressed Prince Albert in English, thanking him on the
part of the natives of India and other strangers from
distant lands, for his kindness and condescension in per-
forming the ceremony which had now been completed.
Colonel SYKES, Chairman of the East India Company,
next addressed his Royal Highness on the part of the
subscribers to the institution.

Prince ALBERT then replied as follows :—lt has, as
you justly suppose, given me great pleasure to co-
operate with you in this good work, the foundation of
which has this day been laid. It appears to me to be
our day to assist and protect, as far as lies in our power,
from the danger and temptations to which their help-
lessness and ignorance expose them, the natives of those
remote regions who are brought to our shores, assisting
in our commerce, and contributing by their labours to
the riches of this country. (Loud applause.)
The proceedings having terminated, his Royal High-
ness left for Buckingham Palace.

THE _PROPERTY OF MARRIED WOMEN.

On Saturday a public meeting, under the direction of
the Council of the Law Amendment Society, was held
at_ No. 21, Regent-street, to 'consider the present state
of the law affecting the property of married women. Sir
John Pakington, M.P. (in the absence of Lord Brougham,
whose attendance was prevented by a severe domestic
afflictipn), in the chair. In opening the proceedings,
The. CHAIRMAN observed that he was glad to see so
many ladies in the room, as their presence showed that
they were conscious of the defect in the law and of the
necessity for the Legislature to place ti,em in a different
position to that which they now occupy. The law of
divorce required amendment, and the law w:.ich related
to the property of married women was a gr- at and
cardinal' defect in the social system. These laws 'right
be considered laws for the rich and not laws fcr the
poor. They were, in fact, laws which consulted
the interests of the few and neglected the interests
of the many. According to the present state of
things, as observed in the report of the Personal
Laws Committee on the law relating to this sub•
ject, a married woman could make no contract,
neither could she sue nor be sued ; and, although she
might be legally separated from her husband, and have,
in fact, an ample separate maintenance, she was not
liable on her contracts, even for the necessaries of life.
Noy was the husband liable in such case ; and those
tradesmen who may have gitten credit to a married wo-
man with a separate maintenance of 1,0001. a-year, has
positively_ no remedy against either patty. Another
anomaly in the law was, that in all cases where'parties
married without any ante-nuptial contract. and where
property was bequeathed to, or acquired by the wife,
without the technical words which create separate pro-
perty, such acquisitions fall into the absolute power of
the husband. He (Sir John Pakington) was strongly
impressed with the conviction that this law ought to be
altered, and in such a manner as to give to the wife the
same interest in her own property which the husband
possessed in his.

Sir E. PERRY, M.P., moved a series of resolutions, to
the effect that the rules of the common law, which gave
all the personal property of a woman on marlriage, and
all subsequently acquired property and earnings to the
husband, were unjust in' principle and injurious in their
operation.
The resolutions were agreed to, after some little dis-
cussion, in which Mr. Monckton Manes, M,P., Lord
Denman, and others took part.
