AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 31.
The Europa has arrived with advices from New
York to the 191 h, and Boston to the 20th. She
has brought 31,065,459 on freight.
The Hammonia, the Arago, the Niagara, and the
Anglo-Saxon bad arrived out.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald writes on the 17th :
" Despatches have been received from England
stating that the position of our Government, as
laid down in the reply of General Cass to Lord
Napier relative to the Chinese affair, is entirely
satisfactory to the British Cabinet. Joint armed
intervention was asked for and decidedly declined.
Our Government agreed to co-operate by represen-
tation and joint remonstrance, and this is believed
to be satisfactory to England, as it was obviously
the only proper course for us to adopt.
The same journal publishes another despatch one
day later, wnich says :
"Lord Napier has not yet received any reply
from the Secretary of State to his proposal to re-
open negotiations respecting the Central American
Question.

"Lord Napier has again called the attention of
our Government to the claim of certain British sub-
jects for indemnity for losses at Greytown."
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Times says :
" Whenever the ratification of the Treaty be-
tween Great Britain and Honduras shall be re-
ceived, all the obstacles to the completion of the
Dallas-Clarendon Treaty, including all the amend-
ments of the Senate, will have been removed, and
Lord Napier will be enabled, in the name of his
Government to re-open negotiations."
The treaty of commerce between Great Britain
and Honduras, together with the additional article
guaranteeing the neutrality of tie int?r-oceanic
railroad through the Republic of Honduras from
Porto-Cabello on the Atlantic to the Bay of Fon-
seca on the Pacific, had been ratified by the Hon-
duraa Government, but the two conventions rela-
tive to the Bay Islands an 1 to Musquito, which
were signed at the same time by Senor Don Victor
Herran on the part of Honduras, and by Lord
Clarendon on the part of Great Britain in London
last autumn, have not been ratified.
It was reported that Major M'Culloch had de-
clined the Presidentship of Utah, and that recent
information had caused a change in the policy
hitherto contemplated, the condition of Utah now
being such as to require vigorous measures. Troops
in large numbers would be sent thither, probably
under command of General Harney.
The reported flight of Brigham Young from Salt
Lake City appears to be untrue.
Advices from the City of Mexico state that
Crabbe'a California Filibustering party had been
attacked at Corborea by the Mexican troops, and
forced to surrender at discretion.

The Filibusters, including their leader, had been
shot.

The New York money-market was easier. Ex-
change on London, 109 g to 1094. In the Stock-
market there was a slight improvement. Michigan
Southern, 63ii ' - Illinois Central, 1391 ; Milwaukie,
67 ; New York Central, 86i ; Erie, 41:4 ; Reading,
798 ; Cleveland and Toledo, 668. Cotton was
favourably affected by the European advices ;
holders were more confident. Flour had slightly
declined. Freights to Great Britain showed some
symptoms of improvement, but very low rates were
still accepted.

The heavy arrivals of resin bad produced no
marked effect, most of it having been sold before
it arrived.

Spirits of turpentine were in good demand for
the domestic trade.

Trade and crude turpentine neglected.
Scotch pig iron was steady, at $35, six months.
