Mrs. PARKES begs to inform the Public that, by the advice of

'We have not yet heard whether the Liberals in-
tend to bring forward a candidate at all to oppo7e Mr.
Clifton. Application has been made to Mr. Charles
Towneley, bat the result was not known in Liver-
pool when we went to press. The register is in such
an unfavourable position that, in all probability, the
Tory will be allowed to walk over the course. Had
the new register come into operation, the result would
have been different; and, no doubt, Lord Stanley had
an eye to that circumstance by timing his retirement as
he did just before the prorogation. One day later,
and there could have been no election till February, or,
at all events, until the meeting of Parliament.
The nomination will take place on Friday next, the
20th instant, in the Shire-hall at Lancaster.

At a Meeting of the said Committee, held at 22, Golden -square,
this day, WILLIAM UPCOTT, Esq., in the Chair, it was resolved
to publish the following Address:—
The COMMITTEE of the lIEPTAPILEMION LOTTERY for
the management of Mrs. PARKES'S Grand Scheme hereby give
notice, that they have consented to act for her interest, and as
guarantee to the Public for its duo fulfilment according to the Pro-
spectus as before published.
They earnestly request all Persons intending to subscribe to take
Tickets immediately of her Agents, or at 22, Golden-square, where
these celebrated Prizes of the IIOWTEIt GALLERY are to bo seen
daily, and where descriptive Catalogues and Prospectuses are to be
obtained.

The Committee particularly recommend the Subscribers to defer
their selection of Engravings, to which the Tickets entitle them,
until after the drawing, for the purpose of being enabled to choose
from a larger number of finely-executed Plates than those already
announced in the Prospectus.
The Lottery must be drawn on the Nth instant, as that is the last
day allowed by Act of Parliament.

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, SATUEDAT.

ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA.

By the arrival of the Royal Mail steam-ship Acadia,
Captain llarrison, we have New York papers to the
Ist, and Boston to the 2d inst., inclusive. She brings
about fifty passengers. The Acadia left this port on
4th of August, and arrived at Boston, after a passage
of constant head winds, in thirteen days. We are
much pleased to find, from the Boston Daily Adver-
tiser, that the passengers, on their arrival at Boston,
presented the Acadia's new captain with a handsome
tea service of plate, which was accompanied by a
complimentary letter, signed by all the passengers,
and headed by ax-Governor Davies, of America, one
of the passengers. We are additionally pleased to
find that he has been honoured with a similar compli-
ment by his passengers on his homeward passage.
The Acadia sailed again for Liverpool on the
Ist of September, about one o'clock, passed and
boarded the Hibernia, off the Lighthouse, at
two, and obtained a copy of Willson and Smith's
European Times," which contained the news of
Queen Victoria's accouchement, and the movement of
France upon Tangiers. The Hibernia would reach
Boston at three o'clock, in a twelve days'
passage, and as there were two engine expresses
in readiness at Boston, the one for New York and
the other for Montreal, the news which the
Hibernia took out (August 20) would be published in
New York, with that of the Great Western
(August 17), as Adams and Co.'s express, per the
Acadia, reported that, up to five r. m. on Saturday,
nothing had been heard of the Great Western being
off New York. The arrival of these two steam-ships
on this occasion, had, for some days past, excited great
interest in New York and Boston.

When in lat. 50 deg. 2 min. N., lon. 32 deg. 6 min.
W., on Monday night, about nine o'clock, passed the
Britannia hence for Boston • exchanged rocket and
blue-light signals, and a salute of guns. She was
running with a fair wind, light sea, and was then
five days out.
The political news brought by the Acadia is not
important. Mr. President Tyler had withdrawn from
contesting the next Presidency, and had thrown his
influence into the democratic scale, which, however,
will, it is believed, have but little effect in the result of
the approaching contest. Large meetings are now
holding in all parts of the Union, and the general
opinion is that Clay will occupy the Chair for the
ensuing term ; it will not, however, be obtained without
being purchased at the sacrifice of a large amount of
cash and principles.
It is rer.,rted at New York, upon the authority of
the Washington correspondent of the Sun, that, at a
meeting of the Cabinet yesterday, it had been de-
termined upon to call an extra session of Congress.
It is further stated that England has taken the
4,000,000 dollars loan of Mexico, for the purpose of
facilitating a war, between the two Governments.
This is given as a reason for calling the extra session.
Captain Barstow, of the Cambridge, from Liver-
pool, at New York, reports picking up the crew of a
French fishing schooner Avenir, of llonfleur, France,
on the 12th of August, in lat. 44 36, lon. 53. They
had been separated from their vessel thirty-six hours,
by a violent gale of wind and thick fog. When they
boarded the Cambridge, they judged themselves to be
sixty miles from their vessel. They were utterly
destitute of provisions and water.
We deeply regret to report two distressing acci-
dents at the Falls of Niagara. The one, in the death
of a gentleman from Philadelphia, named Thompson.
Ele was on a visit at the Falls, in company with a
friend of ours, resident in Liverpool, who returned in
the Acadia. Mr. Thompson disappeared suddenly,
and is supposed to have perished in the cataract. In
company with one or two other gentlemen, he had
passed behind the sheet of water, and, on coming out,
lingered about the rock which overhangs the abyss.
He was heard to say that he wished to go where no
one else had ever been. He was soon missed, and all
search proved unavailing. It is conjectured that a
sudden dash of water swept him from the dangerous
position to which he had ventured.
The other relates to the unfortunate death of a
young lady. She was in company with a party of
friends and relatives, and while attempting to gather
some shrubs growing on the brink of the precipice
near the Museum, lost her balance, and with a loud
shriek fell. When taken up she was alive, but in-
sensible. Able medical aid, which was promptly
rendered, was unavailing; and she died in about three
hours.

These sad events throw a damp over ,the visitors,
who are very numerous at this interesting spot.
TREMENDOUS HURRICANE AND FLOOD IN WIS-
CONSIN TERRITORY.—We learn from the Green Bay
Republican that on the Bth instant a hurricane, ac-
companied with rain and hail, swept over Brown and
Calmut counties with such fury, that in the space of
twenty minutes property was destroyed to the value
of 20,000 dollars. Houses, barns, bridges, fences and
trees were scattered and tossed about like chaff; and
in many places the crops of every kind were flattened
and destroyed. Trees, four and five inches in dia-
meter, were twisted off at Duck Creek, and at
Suamico River all the large trees, for the distance of
half a mile in the direction of the Bay shore were
either torn up or blown down. Every bridge between
Twin Rivers and Gray Bay and Fond du Luc, were
swept away.
In business matters the appearance was generally
favourable. The imports at New York during the
month of August was greater than ever known, and
the heavy stock of imported goods had already
lowered prices.
In the staple article of cotton we annex a report,
published by a New York broker, for transmission
by the Acadia, dated August 29 :—The unsettled
tone of our market, alluded to, in my last circular,
per Caledonia, of 14th inst., continued until we were
placed in possession of dates from Liverpool to 4th
inst., per Acadia, on the 19th inst. Holders assumed
a firmer position, on the receipt of these advices, and
generally demanded a small advance; this, however,
was not acceded to by purchasers, and the business
transacted consequently was limited ; the market was
again fully supplied at previous rates on the second
day, and some disposition to press sales was mani-
fested; this has resulted in a reduction of one-eighth
to a quarter of a cent. on the lower grades, with
which the market has been more fully supplied.
Holders of finer cottons are generally unwilling
sellers, even at the above extreme quotations,
and some factors still refuse to submit a bale at
present rates, considering that the coming crop does
Eo` present indications of a very large yield, although
the plant is unusually strong and forward. Sales for
the week ending 17th instant, 2,800 bales ; for the
week ending 24th instant, 3,800 bales ; since, to this
date, 2,400, with a firmer tone, at the present quota-
tions. Receipts of the new crop at New Orleans,
640 bales up to 20th instant ; a few small parcels have
also reached this city, from Charleston.
P.S.—The inquiry, which has been moderate, has
resulted in sales to the extent of 1,400 bales, since
noon of Thursday, and has been freely met by holders
in small parcels, there being but few lists in the mar-
ket, which are held rather firmly, at quotations.
Freights are still tending upwards ; some few en-
gagements were made yesterday at 5-16 d. for square
bales to Liverpool, and as the packet of the 6th is
full, and the succeeding one nearly so, the rate will
not probably be lower.
The Grain market, also, exhibits very little change.
Prices of Flour and Wheat are firm, but sales
are srn 11. The crop of Western New York is more
abundant than ever before. Western Flour is selling
at 4, 123 to 4,25 dolls. per bbl.; and Southern a shade
higher. At Buffalo, a great Wheat market, 70 and
71 cents. is paid for wheat.i
We have no transaction's of any importance to no-
tice in Ashes. The prices are as last quoted—for Pots
4 184, and 4 50 dolls. fur Pearls.
In Provisions a very dull business was transacted,
at prices ranging as yesterday. We quote Mess Pork
9 621 dolls. ; Prime 8a 8 121 dolls. ; Mess Beef
5 25 a 5 623- dolls., and Prime 3 25 dolls.
The price's of Stocks during the last fortnight have
