We have availed ourselves of the earliest oppor-
tunity which has offered for the publication of Mr.
Carter's letter on the important subject of our existing
currency, and the best mode of improving and ex-
panding the circulation. To some of his views on
the general principles of a sound monetary policy,
his definitions of money, and his proposition for the
establishment of a general bank of transfer—many of
which are original and very ingenious, and others
which we are not quite prepared to concur with—we
shall advert more particularly in a few days, on the
occasion of adverting to other theories of recent pro-
pagation, relative to the same topics.

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

The American ship Ohio, Captain Lyon, sailing
from New York, on the 6th inst., arrived here this
morning with intelligence from that city two days
later than before, but as the packet ship Ashburton
has been signalled by telegraph to have passed Holy-
head this morning, we may shortly expect dates by
her to the 9th.

The news by this arrival is not of much im-
portance. In the Senate, on the 29th ult., Mr. Allen
brought forward a number of petitions and memo-
rials, signed by the citizens of Ohio, including whole
brigades of militia, asking the immediate occupation
of the Oregon territory. General Thompson, United
States Minister at Mexico, had resigned, but no
person had been named as his successor. It is stated
that the President intended to nominate Mr. Spencer
as Justice of the Supreme Court, vacant by the death
of Judge Thompson.
The interest in the Repeal question was again re-
viving. A meeting of the Irish inhabitants was held
in New York, on the 3d inst. ; being one, the Herald
states, of a series of simultaneous meetings, which
were to be held the same evening throughout the
Union.

A very brutal murder of a woman and her infant
child had been committed at Staten Island, New
York, by a woman named Bodine, and her paramour
Waite, both of whom were in custody. The woman
(Bodine) was subsequently delivered of a child, whilst
in the gaol, which it is believed she wilfully suffo-
cated, as it was found dead beside her, with marks of
violence.

The news from Texas, to the 16th ult., state that
the trade between that Republic and .the United
States, in consequence of an Act passed in the last
session of the American Congress, was rapidly de-
clining, and that in the same proportion the trade be-
tween Texas and this side of the Atlantic was on the
increase.

A deputation from the Free Church of Scotland
had arrived at New York, and Dr. Cunningham, the
principal delegate, was announced to preach in the
several Presbyterian churches in the city of New
York.

Murders for the sake of plunder are on the in-
crease in the United States. In Providence, Rhode
Island, Mr. Amasa Sprague was found about a mile
from his house, having been beaten to death about the
head in a horrid manner. A reward of 1,000 dollars
had beeti offered for the discovery of the miscreants.
" The demand for money," says one of the papers,
" which continues very abundant, is slowly increas-
ing ; but the banks find it still necessary to resort to
loans on stock, and other than strictly, legitimate busi-
ness, for the purpose of making their regular divi-
dends.

Stocks were quiet. In Foreign exchange nothing
of importance •had been done. The rate on London
is quoted at 109 to 1091.

In Ashes little had been done. Pots are quoted,
nominally, at 4.50.; Pearls, 5.12 g. Flour was inac-
tive. Genessee held at 4.4+ to 4.681. Prime yel-
low Bees-wax sold at 29 cents.

There is no news from Canada of interest.

FOUR DAYS LATER FROM
- AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING.

The Ashburton, Captain Huttleston, has just come
Up the river, bringing eight papers to the 10th inst.
