FIVE DAYS LATER FROM
AMERICA.

(EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.)
LIVERPOOL FRIDAY, Two, P.M.
The packet-smp queen or the -west 1.-
up, having sailed from New York on the 24th ult.,
and having made the passage in fifteen days. The
news is five days later than that brought by the
Yorkshire. The news appears without interest.
The following are extracts from the papers
FROM WASHINGTON.—POSTAGE S. —The Senate Com-
mittee have reported a Bill reducing the rates of postage,
the franking privilege, and slightly reducing the rates of
newspaper postage. The important details of the Bill
will be found under the Postcript head, in the regular
Washington Correspondence. Postages to be regulated
by weight, and the rates established at 5 and 10 cents.
FROM MEXICO.—An arrival on Monday, brings a few
days' later advices. The Government of Diario an-
nounces the arrival at Vera Cruz of the Commissioners
from Yucatan, with instructions to accept the proposals
made by Mexico. The papers confirm the reports pre-
viously brought, that troops are organising in different
parts of the country, and concentrating at Vera Cruz.
It is verbally reportel by this arrival that the vessels
composing the Mexican navy, were about to sail for
Havannah. Santa Anna continues at his country seat.

FROM PORT AU PRINCE.—We learn from Captain
Baker, of the schooner Council, which arrived last even-
ing from Port au Prince, that General Revera was elected
President of the Republic about the last of December.
The result was received with great demonstrations of
NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.—JAN. 23,
The Stock Market has not been the least affected by
the European advices. Stocks are moving up and
down without any particular cause. There are many
indications that prices will ultimately advance, and there
are as many that a different movement will take place;--
Long Island advanced 11 per cent. ; Haarlem k ditto;
Norwich I ditto; Illinois 4 ditto; North American
Trust 1 ditto; Ohio Sixes declined per cent.; Patter-
son ditto; Indiana if ditto. The sales to-day were
quite moderate, showing but little activity among the
brokers. None of the principal a!aple articles of trade
have-received but slight beneficial effect from the news,
except cotton, which is quite active.

health received in town yesterday is favourable, viz., that

CURIOUS ANALOGY.—Sir Robert Peel, who has
been described as the modern Janus, with his double face,
one looking upon the doomed days of monopoly, the other
upon the coming era of free trade, is somewhat characteris-
tically situated, -as regards his town residence in Privy-gar-
dens. The premises occupied by him stand in two parishes,
partly in St. Martin's and partly in St. Margaret's s for both
of which he is rated, and for either of which he is enabled to
vote. Our readers will judge how far his geographical posi-
tion is analogous to his political one.--Patriot.
FIRE AT LIVERPOOL—LOSS OF LIFE.-011 Tues-
day evening last, at a quarter to eight o'clock, a fire was dis
covered in a warehouse used as a cooperage, and belonging
to Mr. John Barton, Plumbe-street. The alarm was imme-
diately passed to the fire-police station, and- Mr. Hewitt,
with that alacrity which always characterises him in cases
of such emergency, immediately proceeded to the spot with
nine engines, water-tanks, &c. He was soon followed by
Mr. Whitty,,Mr. Maxwell, and numbers of the fire brigade.
The premises being situated in a back yard, which *as filled
with staves, reaching to the height of two stories, the
fire had made considerable progress before it was dis-
covered, and on the arrival of Mr. llewitt, the flames
were raging so furiously that the dWelling-houses at the
back and a warehouse adjoining were in the most imminent
danger. Densely crowded as the buildings were, and being
in close proximity with the premises in which the fire origi-
nated, nothing but the most strenuous exertions on the part
of the fire brigade could have confined e flames to the
warehouSe in which they originated ; but this was fortu-
nately effected, and about ten o'clock all danger of its 'spread-

slightly injured on the foot and leg, and Bell had his back
