LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.

The screw steamship Nova Scotian, Captain Bor-
land, which sailed from Quebec on the 28th ultimo,
arrived here this afternoon, bringing 385 passen-
gers (including 221 soldiers), but no specie.

der of the Forces in Canada, returns by this
steamer.

Passengers from San Francisco deny the truth of
the published statement that Walker had sailed
with 300 men in the steamer Orizaba for Acapulco.
Walker, however, had an agent at the Gila mines,
enrolling volunteers for his filibustering expedition.
The French had abandoned the Marquesas
Islands for military purposes, and designed estab-
lishing a strong military and naval depot at New
Caledonia Island. The plan embraces the restora-
tion of Queen Pomare as ruler of the Society
Islands.

The telegraph lines between New York and
Quebec were out of order when the Nova Scotian
sailed ; the advices are therefore not so full as they
would otherwise have been.

At the latest date the stock market was not very
active, but was firm and steady.
The money market and sterling exchange had
undergone no alteration.
The Quebec timber market was without anima-
tion.

Freights were quiet. The latest quotations were
28s. for Liverpool, 275. for Greenock, and 295. to
30s.' for London.

sengers. She left New York on the 20th, and St.
John's on the evening of the 31st, and brings tele-
grams from New York to the 30th, making the
passage from St. John's in 6 days 13 hours.
The passengers disembarked at 5.30 p.m., and
