AMERICA:

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.
The Royal Mail steam ship Persia, Captain Jul
kin, which sailed from New York on the 13th inst.,
has arrived at this port, bringing. 148 passengers,
and 79,792 dollars in specie on freight.
She brings no intelligence of the overdue steamer
Indian Empire.
The steam ship Pacific sailed from New York for
Galway on the Bth inst. with 174 passengers, in-
cluding Lola Montes.
The steamer Vigo left New York on the 6th inst.
for this port.
The following steamers had arrived out :—The
Glasgow, from Glasgow, at New York on the Gth ;
the Circassian, from Galway, at St. John's, New-
foundland, on the same day ; the New York, from
Bremen, at New York, on the 7th ; and the Kan-

garoo, hence, at New York, on the 9th inst.
A Washington telegram to the New York Herald
says :
" There seems to be a sort of apprehension that some
important but most secret movement is under way with
reference to the Central American question. The greatest
anxiety is manifested by "Fur own and foreign officials re-
garding Nicaraguan affairs, and Lord Napier has been on
the qui vive all day.
" The movements of the European powers in the tropical
waters of this continent are beginning to excite a marked
degree of interest here. A large fleet of British and French
vessels now exists in the Carribean Sea and the Gulf df

Mexico, part of which acted together in the recent opera-
tions against Venezuela, and another part is detailed ap-
parently as a fleet of observation on our movements in
Nicaragua, and to help Mr. Ouseley and M. Belly..
" The British, however, will not presume to interfere
with Americans or American vessels on the high seas.
They have had enough of that ; and as to interfering on
the soil of Central America with Americans the Clayton-
Bulwer treaty, if it has no other good quality, does not
permit that.
"It is believed, however, that the true object of these
forces on the part of England and France is to protect Spain
against the contingencies to which her intended expedition
against Mexico might expose her at our hands. Spain will
. .

net enter upon a War in this hemisphere without a secret
understanding with England and France to be protected in
her possession of Cuba. Some arrangement to this purport
is supposed to have been made as a recompense for her con-
tingent from Manilla to the expedition against Cochin
China. In view of a possible complication of affairs in the
Gulf of Mexico a new Cuban revolutionary junta has been
formed at New Orleans, and is preparing its plans in con-
junction with parties in Cuba. They will commence the
publication of a new paper at New Orleans devoted to the
cause of Cuban independence."
The New York Herald thus speaks of the late
State elections :

" In New York the Republicans have carried their State
ticket by probably 20,000 majority, elected 27 of the 33
members of the next Congress, and have returned a large
majority to the Assembly. Both branches of the next legis-
lature will thus be largely Republican. In the city, how-
ever, all the Democratic nominees for county offices have
been elected, together with four of the six Congress men,
and 12 of the 17 members of Assembly. It is said that Mr.
Williamson will contest the election of Mr. Sickles to Con-

pgress from the third district.
" In New Jersey the Republicans have chosen a full
delegation to the next Congress.
" The Republicans have elected all their candidates for
State officers and Congress in Massachusetts, and the sable
remark will apply to Wisconsin.
" Reports from various quarters render it highlyprobable
that Judge Douglas has triumphed in Illinois. A despatch
from Chicago states that the Republicans there concede a
majority in each,branch of the legislature favourable to Mr.
Douglas. Five Democratic members of Congress have been
chosen.

"The returns from Michigan are meagre and unsatis-
factory, but, beyond doubt, the Republicans have main-
tained their ascendancy."
It is stated that private letters, received in New
York from Central America, announce the arrival
there of a Mr. Thomas Manning, who was publicly
boasting that he had gone out. for the special pur-
pose of meeting Mr. Gore Ouseley, who had in-
structions from his Government to take possession
of Nicaragua under the plea of a protectorate, and
with a view to defend that republic from the
aggressions of Filibusters.
" This Mr. Manning," says the New York Herald,i" is
the party who, conjointly with Mr. Glenton, has a claim of
a quarter of a million of dollars against the Nicaraguan
Government, and who endeavoured to get possession of the
transit route as a security for his claim. -Failing in that,
he has succeeded in getting the English Government to
back up his demands, and to enforce their liquidation in
money by vessels of war."

The steam yacht' Petrel had burst her boilers in
New Yoak harbour, instantly killing three persons.
The ship Isaac Bell had arrived at New York,
having on board the captain, mate, and four sea-
men, rescued from the British barque Claude, of
Shoreham, which was wrecked at sea. Eight lives
were, lost on board the barque, including the cap-
tain's wife.
Yellow fever had ceased at New Orleans, but was
prevailing with great virulence at Galveston,
Texas.
A "killing frost" is reported to have occurred at
Mobile and other parts of the south.
The grand jury of New York had found true bills
against 61 members of the Common Council for
misdemeanour in violating the city charter, and, as
is alleged, conspiring to defraud the public trea-
sury.
The steamer Quaker City had arrived at New
Orleans from Minattlan, and reported the Tehuan-
tepec route across the Isthmus as clear of all ob-
struceions.
California advices to the 11th of :October had
been received by the overland route. The news
was unimportant. The rainy season had just com-
menced, and its usual effects upon business were
experienced. The first overland mail to San Fran-
cisco had arrived there in 24 days. The emigration
to the Fraser River gold fields had almost entirely
ceased.

A fire at Jamestown, California, had destroyed
27 buildings, involving a loss of a quarter of a mil-
lion dollars.
The dates from Havannah are to the 30th of Oc-
tober. The Spanish frigate Benguela had returned
to Havannah from Tampico, to which port she had
been dispatched, to interfere for the protection of
Spanish merchants, who had been pillaged by the
Mexican eommander Garzo, but nothing respect-
ing the result of her visit had been made publiic.
The Havannah sugar market was rather more
active, at a slight decline in prices, holders desiring
to realise.
The weekly money circular of Messrs. De Coppet
and Co., of New York, remarks
" Our stock market has been quite active since the Ist
inst., but the general tendency of prices has been downward .
Quotations for State Stocks, however,:have but little varied,
and the decline, on the whole, had been quite insignificant,
except on the shares of some of the western railroads, the
receipts of which have decreased more than was exed.
In State Stocks, Missouri Sixes have advanced with
large sales; Tennessee Sixes have declined 1, and California
Sevens, z per cent. Sales of Indiana Fives at 92 ; Indiana
Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds at 61, and Ohio Sixes of
1875 at 106. The new Government Loan is not as firmly
held as it was last week. In City and Countyßonds trans-
actions have been unimportant. We note sales of Louisville
Railroad Sixes at an advance, of ChicagoWaterLoan Sixes
at 841 and interest, and of Brooklyn Sixes, San Francisco
Tens, and St. Louis County Sevens without change in
price. Some Milwaukee City Sevens, issued for railroad
purposes, have been sold at 50, past-due coupons included."
COTTON.-The report of T. B. Sands and Co., dated New
York, Nov. 9, says :-" The unfavourable advicesfrom Liver-
pool, and heavy receipts at the south, continue to exercise a
depressing influence upon our market, which closes very ir-
regular at a decline of fully Ic. during thn week, with a
downward tendency. The sales of the week amount to 7500
bales on the spot, nominally at our quotations, and 5000
bales in trans-nu, on the basis of 111 c. for middling Or-
leans with Id. freight. Our stock is 20,000 bales. Freight
to Liverpool, 3-46 d. ; to Havre, /c. per pound.
" Southern Markets-Receipts are again heavy, and
prices have given way in all the markets. In New Orleans
the sales for the week ending sth instant, add up 40,000
bales, the market closing in favour of buyers at 14.1 c. to
up. for middling. In Mobile the sales for the week are
16,500 bales, at 11e. for middling. The Charleston and
Savannah markets have been depressed, and prices con-
tinue to have a downward tendency. Freight-New Or-
leans to Liverpool, 15-32 d. ; to Havre, ic.
" By mail the receipts of the week amount to 119,000
bales, against 43,000 same time last year, making a total
since Ist September, to latest dates of 675,000 bales, against
291,000 last year, showing an increase in receipts this year
of 384,000 bales. By telegraph, the receipts at New Or-
leans for the week ending sth instant reach 66,000 bales,
and at Mobile 23,000.
" The exports for the week amount to 61,000 bales, of
which 33,000 are to Great Britain, and 20,500 to France.
Total exports to Great Britain since Sept. 1, 133,000 bales,
against 98,000 bales last yeer, , and to France 76000 bales,
against 25,000 last year.
" The weather at the south, and throughout the cotton
districts, continues fine and open. General opinion appears
to have fixed upon 3,000,000 bales as the probable extent of
the present crop, and at the moment we see no reason to
think it will be less.
