LIVERPOOL, SATURPAY;NOI:;::
•
The United States' mail steamship Aflaittio ar-
rived this afternoon, with advices qp3.' gew±o.
to the 27th ult.
The Baltic and the Borussa bad arrived:seu
The Washington correspondent of the New yon
Courier and Inquirer is of opinion that if Walker
find tramport by sea unattainable, nothing is more-.
probaqe toan that he will endeavour to turn his
Texan levies upon Mexico, not only iu the hope of
conquest, but in order t revenge Himself for his -
shameful defeat iti Lower Califyrnia.
The Mayor of New York had issued a proclama-
tion in which he says :
We have over 200,000 persons in this city who,
either directly or indirectly, depend for subsistence upon,
manual labour. If the present want of employment,
continue many must rely upon either public or private
charity, and I fear that not a few will resort to violence
and force rather than submit to either of these preca-
rious and humiliating dependencies.

A severe btorm prevailed during the 25th and
26th.

It is. announced that the Governor of Georgia,
would whhhold any aution a.jaiust the suspended
banks until the meeting of the Legislature.
Advices from Nieiragua state that all Americans
suspected of sympathising with Walker had been
expelled the coun7ry, and we-at preparations Were
being made by President Martinez to resist, a Fili-
bustering invasion.
The .New York Courier and Enquirer of the 26tli.
remarks that, nowitosancling tiie daily reports,
that "financial and commercial affairs were getting
easier," and that "a more cherfnl fe,-ling was maui,
fested," commercial affairs had made but little pro-
gress in the direction of sound and permain.ent im-
provement. "The next weekly stat ement," it says—
" Will show whether the banks have had the resoluJ
tion to carry cut their asserted int,ntion of increasing
loans and et extending the circulation of state currency.
We know already that the litter has been partly fru-,
troted, in o niequence of the adoption of the plan to pay
daily balances in currency, and that we have already
nearly three millions of state currency in the vaults of
the Metropolitan Batik."
It does not believe that it would be advisable' to
resume specie payments at presents with such an
unsettled financial condition, both at home and
abroad. It thinks, however, that if the banks, by
a liberal course, and by a total abandonment -of
their present selfish policy, could get the co-opera-
tion of the community, specie payment could safely
be resumed. The Courier and lnquirier gives
some tabular returns showing that the hoidera of
State bunds have ample security, apart from State
credit and honour. The total debts atuonnted. to
238,902,542 d As., while the taxable property in
1840 was 6,580,000,000 dols.
The amount of bullion in the coffers of the Bos-
ton banks when they suspended was 2,461,000 dols. ;
on the 24th it had eaetie.:.' 2,888,100 dols.
The ew York Times of the 26th says :
" Tee money-market was easier at the close of last
week to moderate dealers at bank. The c;yuntry circulation
is adding to the discount ability of the city, and although
the heavy mercantile firms already in embarrassments
are not relieved by it, the came is differeut with trade
generaly. The stuck-market is depressed by the foreign
accounts—the news of dearer money in England and the
poasihi ity of embarrassment to some of the American
houses being actively employed by the spectators against
a rise. There were several heavy failures rumoured on
Saturday, but Ilene so far verified as to authorize the use
of names. The domestic exchanges w;th Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and Richmond were wore. The European
exchanges from 1 to 2 per cent, higher for select bills.
The pick of Mils on London sold at 105 per cent. The
range, however, continues wide, and sales were made at
101 to 1034 to 105 at 60 days, and 106 ,0 1064 for bills
20 to 30 days to run. Tne feeling was less troubled on
Saturday in regard to the return of bills drawn in
September and early in this month on Liverpool and
London. The agents in this city of the two or three
Scotch banks and the correspondents of the London joint-
stock banks have drawn little or nothing which was
nut under acceptance at the latest date. These
banks are of undoubted strength. The standard bank-
ing firms who draw on Peabody Browns, Dennistoun,
Fielder:, and others, are under no apprehension es to
their friends on he other side, nor ought the public to
be, in view of their known strength. The weekly import
of dry you A. has laden cpite Jew, while the export list
of diinestic produce and articles of foreign growth re•
turned for a better market than they find here is on the
increase. Thu rainy weather on Saturday was against a
vigorous business in the general produce markets.
" The falling off in the freight and paseenger business
among the various roilroai and steamboaLlinee running
out of this city presents in a striking light the extent to
which the whole business of the country has been af-
fected by the revulsion. :,,There is scarcely one that has
not lost from one-third to two-thirds of its business dur-
ing the three weeks of October.
" Tire Govern r of Missouri is for further strong and
direct measures to secure the prompt payment of inte-
rest on the public debt, amd favour, the stoppage of the
issue to the railways under par. in addition to the pro-
swat sinking and interest funds, provided by the last
Le-
gislature, he suggests that a direct tax be levied an the
whole property of the State, at a rate to render certain,
beyond all contingency, the payment of interest."
According to the New York Tribune, exchange
closed on the evening of the 24th at 98 to 103, with
some leading drawers asking higher figures.
The Nees York Evening Mirror of the 26th says :
" The bank statement is encouraging. It is supposed
that before the 20 days are out for the date of suspension
our principal banks will resume specie payments. A
largo sum has arrived by the Baltic, and large sums are
expected by the next steamers."

In the absence of a more trustworthy authority
we quote the following from the .New York He? aid
of the 27th :

" There was no movement of consequence in any lead-
ing stock security, and the operations were principally
for cash. The European advicei appear to have had very
little effect upon our finances, one way or the other. The
feeling in the street was so much better than generally
anticipated that the market actually improved under the
favourable influence. We hear of orders from Europe to
purchase our stocks, limited at prices considerably above
those now current. We learn that the Treasurer of North
Carolina offers to pay now, in the currency of the State,
at Raleigh, the coupons due next January in New York.
Those who prefer to wait until the new year will find the
funde here at the Bank of the Republic ; those who want
the money now can obtain North Carolina bank bills at
once by seeding their ceupons ~n to Raleigh for collection.
" Money was very stringent in Baltimore on Saturday.
Exchange on New York was in active request at 7 to 8
per cent premium ; on Boston 6 per cent. ; Peiladelphia,
3i to 4 ; and gold, at 71 to S per cent. Silver, in small
lute, 6 per cent. premium. Virginia banknotes (old), 4 to
5 discount ; new, 6 to 18 ; Norte Carolina, 8 to 10; 01.io
and other western banks unsaleable. The returns of the
banks of that city for the week ending Oct. 24, 1857.
compared with the previous week, exhibit the following
changes :
Decrease in loans and discounts
Increase in specie 2,568 413
Decrease in circulation..
Increase in deposits, actual 5,177,883
"A number of New York merchants called upon the
secretary of the Treeeury yesterday morning, and gave
their visws as to the present condition of affairs. Al-
thoogh the entries at toe Custom-house last week wore
as large as usual these importations were to fill orders
sent out three or four months ago. These gentlemen as-
scrod the Secretary that not an order had left New
York for the past 40 days, and that December would
mark the While, off in the current receipts. They fur-
ther stated that immense quantities of goods would be
reshipped to Europe.
The New York Express of the 27th reports that
no bills had been returned by the Baltic.
bills were higher ; the chief business was at 103,
but some names were held as high as 105. Three
of the leading banks suspended at St. Louis on the
26th. The suspension of Beebe and Brother, of
New York, is announced. Also the bank of the
State of Missouri, the Merchants' Bank, and the
Southern Bask.

SUICIDE ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.--An inquest
was held on 'Thur•tday night at Upper Elston, Glouces-
tershire, on the body of Dr Diot, of Bristol, a medical
lecturer, who destroyed his own life by throwing hinieel •
before a train on the Midland Railway, under the cir-
cumstances already described. It appeared from the
evidence of his wile that he bad been somewhat disor-
der,d in his mind lately on arcount of pecuni..ry
trnii!es ; he was very nervous and lov;-spirited, and
told one person that he was mad, and wished to ga :P`O
a lunatic asylum. Verdict accordingly. ,
