AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.
The United States' mail steamship Baltic, Com-
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 steamship 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
tere3t.

Telegraphic advices fioin Washington mention a
rumour of further difference between the United
Stites and Spain. Preparations for the election of
the future President of the House of Representa-
tives had commenced. The Democrats were the
favourites.

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 disaster, and could easily have taken
a line from her, on which most, if not all, of the
passengers could have reached his veseel hand over
hand. He says Captain Herndon did not order
the passengers on board his vessel.
' The s'esinship Caliawba had arrived at New
Orleans with dates from Havannah to the 19th ult.
Business was dull, and sugar and molasses were
declining. Exchange on New York was quoted at
2 to 3 per cent. premium.
The monetary cri-is had not, as had been anti-
cipated, ceased, and the effects of the stringency
had caused serious resifts in Boston and Phila-
delphia, where failures were of daily occurrence.
In the latter city there had been quite a panic, and
a continuous run was made on all the bank. The
Bank of Pennsylvania stopped payment, and tie
Girard followed su:t. A private despatch stated
that the run on all the banks was 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 wer3 drawing to some extent
upon the New York batiks, they responding
promptly to,the call. In the New York market
the 'current quotations for prime paper were 18 to
24 per cent., and for good endorsed notes 3 to 5
per. cent. a-month. The comparative scarcity of
funds was owing, it was believed, in a great degree
to private hoarding.
in exchange very little had been done for till
Baltic, and prices were lower and irregular, and
sellers pressini, bills on the market obliged to ac-
cept lower rates. The rates were 61 to 7i Or cent.
premium on London ; sf. 30e. to sf. 20c. France :
grid 35i to 36 Hamburg.
A buoyancy in the stock-market had octurred,
but it was not maintained in consequence of the
state of affairs at Philadelphia.
