ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC.

LL V ERPOO la, THURSDAY.

The United States mail steamship Baltic, Capt.
Comstock, arrived in the Mersey this afternoon
from New York. She sailed on the 16th instant,
and has brought 50 passengers and 923,934 dollars
in specie on freight.
The Cunard steamship America had not been
heard of at Halifax on the 15th, having then been
fourteen days out.
The United States news by this arrival is very
meagre, and of no great interest or importance.
The NW York Herald makes the following state-
ment regarding the migration of the Mormons into
British territories :—" The telegraph and the sews
brought by the Star of the West from the Great
Salt Lake indicate that the Mormons contemplate
removing to the British possessions in the spring.
Doubt is thrown upon tho story, and it is pos-
sible that the wish on the part of their assailants
may have been father to the thought. But
there are reasons why the rumour may be true..
It is known that for some time past Brigham Young
has been having a very thorough survey of the
country lying to the north of Utah, especially the
banks of the River Columbia. We hear that latterly
he has despatched orders to his scattered disciples
in California and in the southern parts of the terri-
tory of Utah to join him at Salt Lake City without
delay ; and that, a, .3ordingly, notwithstanding thh,
season, trains were en route for the Mormon head;
quarters from the south and the south-west. The
country along the Columbia is admirably adapted
for settlement and cultivation, much more so than
any other which is open to the Mormons on the
Pacific.

BREADSTUFFEL—Under the influence of the foreign

Genessee flour was in fair demand and unchanged.
There was a good demand for Western spring wheat for
