AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.
The United States' mail steamship Baltic, Coin-
stock commander, arrived at midday, with advices
from New York to the 26th ult., and 66 passengers,
but no specie.
On the sth inst. (yesterday) the Baltic passed a
large steamer, bound west, 125 miles west of Cape
Clear.
The stelmship Antelope, hence, had arrived, via
St. John's, Newfoundland, at Halifax.
The Royal Mail steamship Canada, hence, had
arrived at Boston.
There is no general news of importance or in-
terest.

Telegraphic advices from Washington mention a
rumour of further difference between the TI
St des and Spain. Preparations for the eleotion of
the future President of the House of Itepresenta-
tivel had commenced. Tile Democrats were the
favourites. n ited

The schooner Eldorado, the captain of which had
promised to lay by the Central America at 6 o'clock
on the day she foundered had arrived at Boston,
but had not on board a single soul from the ill-fated
steamer. The captain admits that he was within
80 or 100 feet of the steamer at half-past 6 on the
evening of the disas-er, and could easily have taken
a line from her, on which most, if not all, of the
passengers could have reached his vessel hand over
hand. He says Captain Herndon did not order
the passengers on hoard his vessel.
Toe s•eamship Cihawb had arrived at New
Orleans with dates from Havann th to the 19th ult.
Business was dull, and sugar and molasses were
declining. Exchange on New. York was quoted at
2 to 3 pi r cent. premium.
The monetary crieis had not, as had been anti-
cipated, ceased, and the effects of the stringency
had caused serious resuls in Boston and Phila-
delphia, where failures were of daily oceurrencs.
In the latter city there had been quite a panic, and
a continuous rein was made on all the bauks. The
Bank of Pennsylvania stopped payment, and the
Girard followed suit. A private despatch stated
that the run on all the banks wait general, the ex-
citement wide-spread, and the impression was that
by Saturday every bank in the city would be used
up. In Boston and in Providence the specie basis
of the banks were reduced to an uncomfortably low
figure, and they were drawing to some extent
upon the Now York banks, they responding
promptly to the call. In the New York market
the current quo`ations for prime pacer were 18 to
24 per cent., and for good endorsed notes 3 to 5
per cent. a-month. The comparative scarcity of
funds"wae owing, it was believed, in a great degiee
to private hoarding.
In exchange very little had been done for the
Baltic, and prices were lower and irregular, and
sellers pressin; bills on the market obliged to ac-
cept lower rates. The rates were 61 to 71. per cent.
premium on London ; sf. 30c. to sf. 20c. France :
and 351 to 36 Hamburg.
A buoyancy in the stock-market bad octnrred,
but it was not maintained in consequence of the
state of affairs at Philadelphia.

(BY TELEGRAPH TO NEW YORK.)
PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, SEPT. 26.
Third-street and Chestnut-street are again the
scene of excitement. Crowds surrounded the sav-
ings' institutions before 9 o'clock this morning.
The institutions decline paying out deposits, and
require two weeks' notice of withdrawal. The
regular banks were besieged before 10 o'clock. The
Pennsylvania Bank re-opened its doors and is trans-
acting business, but paying no specie. The
Mechanics' Bank is paying specie for $lO bills.
The Girard Bank refuses to do any business and
renders no satisfaction to depositors or note-holders.
