AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.
The United States Mail steam ship Adriat:c,
Captain West, arrived this afternoon from New
York, with advices to the 28th ult:, 35 passengers,
and $390,000 in specie.
The Atlantic .team-ship, of the same line, arrived
at New York on the 22d ult.
The Atlantic conveyed to New York the news of
Messrs. Dennistoun's suspension, tut the effect of
this intelligence had not time to b 3 felt prior to
the Adriatic's departure.
The New York Herald, of the 23d ult., says :
" The markwt is not likely to be presped with stock
for sale without finding buyers, so lone Ri the bull party
continues able and willing to buy. But they must con•
ttnue purchasers to continue the inflation and to keep
the supply of Stock from increa-ing. This we look for,
and have no doubt of the success of the movement, so
long as the absorption of stock goes or. It will, we fear
be found much more difficult to sell than to buy, and the
effect of a withdrawal of the present demand can be ea. ily
imagined. The expansion in prices La. already been to
an unprecedented extent for the same space of time, and
it would be something Extra'adinary it some important
reaction was not very soon realised."

The telegraph reports a collision of the steam-
boats Opelousas and Galveston. Some 25 of the
passengers of the Opelousas were drowned, among
them General Hami:ton, of South Carolina.
The Herald adds, referring to the state of the
New York money market
" In support of the position of speculators for a rise,
even upon present high prices, is the fact that an ewirer
money market has not been known in Walt•titrte, fur
years. The banks are free lenders on call at the rate of
5 and 6 per cent. per annum, and the brokers can hypo-
thecate their stocks with favourable margins to any
amount."

In cotton, prices are depressed and nusettled.
The stock continues to be very lig,,t.
The unemployed workmen in New York have
had frequent meetings, and the usual declathatory
and inflammatory harangues have been made, but
everything passed off in quietness. •
From Havana we have alvices to the 15th ult.
Trade was very dull. Sugars had declined.
Mexican advices to the 4Th inst. report a success-
ful rebellion in the south and west, her frontiers
ravaged by savages, her treasury b enkrupt, and
her highways thronging with banditti. This un-
happy republic seems to be in the final throes of
dis-olution.
