LATER ARRIVAL FROM NEW YORK.—The Southerner'
Captain Palmer, arrived at Liverpool on Fri lay night'
with papers from New York of the Ist inst., one day
later than those received by the last steamer. They do
not contain any item of news of the least importance.
DETENTION OF THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—The
Erebus, Captain Sir John Franklin, and the Terror, Captain
Crozer, which left the river in the early part of the week, on an ex-
pedition to explore the Arct'c regions, accompanied by the Monkey
and Rattler steam.ships, in order to tow them off the Orkney
Islands, have been obliged to bring up off Aldborough, owing to the
fearful north.easterly gales which have of late been
blowing, and, up to the last accounts were still lying
in the roadstead. The gale of Wednesday night was
very severe; a number of vessels parted from their
anchors. One vessel, named the Daniel, belonging to Mal..
don, was driven by the fury of the gale on to Pakefield Flat, near
Lowestoffe. The crew, finding that she had become a wreck, took
to the boat, when unfortunately, on nearing the beach, it cap-
sized ; three poor fellows clung to the bottom and were saved, but
the remainder, four in number, including the captain and mate,
perished.

- RARE COPIES OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.—In the
last day's sale of a portion of a nobleman's library, on Thursday, an
edition of the Holy Scriptures, of exceeding rarity, was sold. It
was thus described in thecatalogue :—" Holy Bible, in which is con-
tayned the Olde and Newe Testament, truly and purely translated
into English by Thomas Matthew, black letter, morocco extra, gilt
edges, by Clarke, 1537. The real name of the translator was
John Rogers, who was the first martyr in Queen Mary's reign.
The present copy is perfect, with the exception of the following
defects—a letter or two cut off at the bottom of the first title, the
title to the Prophets is repaired at the bottom, two leaves in the
table and the imprint are in fac.simile by Harris, the corner
of Gso 2 torn cff, and a few leaves repaired." It was pur-
chased for 105 guineas!

Prince Napnleon Bonaparte, whose arrival in Paris
we have announced, appeared on Wednesday :n one of the re-
served seats of the Chamber of Deputies. His features resemble
those of the late Emperor, and his appearance in the Cbaniber
excited much interest,

the circumstances, he should act upon the 28th section of the Act,
and withhold the protection of the Court for three months, and
adjourn the making the final order sine die.

The steamer from the West Indies brings favourable ac-
counts of the crops, &c., and the exports of sugar had
been large from most of the islands up to
the respective dates. The Trinidad folks com-
plained, nevertheless, that they had not made quite so
much sugar as they expected. The colonists generally ap-
peared in good spirits, except at Barbadoes, where the want
of rain was serionsly felt. The accession of labour by the
arrival of the hill-coolies was likely to give heart to the
planters generally,
In Hayti hostilities were expected to recommence, He-
rard, the ex-President, having again landed on the island.
During the week to Saturday last the Bank of
England issued notes to the amount of '29,340,4251.,

by 210,546/., and the notes by 593,995/. The bullion was
15.999,370/., an increase of 137,684/.
Not the slightest alteration is to be noted in the Consol
Market to-day, and there is but little doing at the current
rates, 9914 %. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been
well supported at 58s. to 60s. Bank Stock has been 210%
to 14 ; New Three-and a-Half per Cents. have realised
1014 ; and the Three per Cents., 983/4 1,4.
We have net a single bargain officially marked in Spanish
Bonds, and the other Foreign Securities maintain about pre-
vious rates. Portuguese Converted have been 67 to 67%,
Mexican 3714, and Chilian Deferred 52. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. have been 63%, and the Fcur per Cents.
The Share Market has been a little weak again for the
scrip of the new lines, but very firm for the old railways.
