LIVERPOOL WEDNESDAY MortNING.
The United Sates mail steamship Onlumbia,
Bailey commander, with advicos from Now York
to the 18111 inst., 100;000 dols. in specie on freight,
and 44 passenpts, arrived here this morning. On
the 20th inst. in lat. 40.30, long. 55, a French
frigAt,-3was perceived, steering north-west.
The Royal mail steamship America, hence, ar-
rived at Boston on the 17th. She had been detained
for some hours by a thick fog.
There is very little news of general interest by
this arrival.

Under date of Washington, July 17, the New
York Herald publishes the following :
"The President received a telegraphic despatch this
morning, dated at Leavenworth yesterday, from Gover-
nor Walker, stating that a serious insurrection had
broken out at Lawrence, and that he had called out
the United States' troops to suppress it. The Gover
nor bed sZarted immediately for Lawrence. The
cause of the ouareak is not known, but it is supposed
to have originated from opposition to some of the terri-
torial laws—probably the tsx law. The receipt of this
news has cau<ed some little excitement in certain quar-
ters. The Cabinet were in session until a late hour this
evening, and I doubt not this subject was prominently
before them."

Adv:ces from St. Lcuis of the 17th Mate that
the Democrat has advices from Kansas, announc-
ing that Governor Walker had issued a p-olama-
ton declaring his intention to put down all opposi-
tion to the territorial laws by force, and censuring
the citizens of Lawrence, and wat ning them n..,t to
organise under the To2eka charter. Seven hundred
troops are rum,,ured to have been ordered to march
aga'nst Lawrence, and Walker is said. to have a
design to retain the army in Kansas, and to break
up the Utah expedition. It is stated that the
ctetary of War contemplates sending Colonel
Johnson, now in Texas, to Utah, instead of Gene-
ral Harney. The change is said to be necessary
owing to the troubles that are apprehended in Kan-
sas in case he should leave the territory.
The .New York ricrald's Washington correspon-
dent writes that—
" Advices have been received here from Costa Rica via
Panama, which :Alto that President Mora bad declared
the grant of ;the Nicaragua transit route, conceded by
that r,tpublic and Nicaragua jlintly to Mr. Webster
to have lapsed from a non-compliance with its conditions
by the grantee. The lapse was occasioned by the non-pay-
wont of the stipulated half million dollars on or before
the let June. It has been determined that as soon as
the new Government of Nicaragua should be consoli
dated the two Republics will send Commissioners to
the country to negotiate a sale of the grant, and the
immediate opening of interoceanic communication by it."
The President made the following appointments

Lord Napier, during his address, was greeted with
much applause. It was in tone and. sentiment
similar to that which be delivered some time ago
before the St. George's Society of New York ; full
of modesty and good feeling. Alluding to the in-
vitation which had been given to him he said,—
" He not only recognised the hospitality of the nation,
which was always bestowed before it was deserved, but
a manifestation of that affection for England which was
kindled in the recesses of the American heart, and which
was ever bursting forth in some act of courtesy and as-
sistance. He saw in the reception, too, in the language
of the President, and their response, a sign of respect for
her Majesty the Queen--for the ancient crown which
FM so gently and so wisely worn."
His Lordship went to Boston incog., and to Cam-
bridge unattended and unknown.
