AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE COiIUMBIA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.
We have received to-day, by the fine British and
North American mail-steamer Columbia, commanded
by Captain Judkins, Boston papers to the 16th inst.,
her day of sailing, and New York and Philadelphia
to the 15th inclusive. The Columbia has made an
excellent voyage of 9 daysl6 hours only from Boston,
and 11 days 14 hours from Halifax. She has brought
26 passengers, a smaller number than usual.
The ratification of the Treaty on the Boundary
Line has not been brought by this steamer as was
expected; it was under deliberation, and no doubt
existed that it would be completeu in two or three
days. Lord Ashburton was expected in New York
on the 17th, where a fete was in preparation for him
by the British residents, conjointly with the Ameri-
can citizens and corporate authorities. He will after-
wards, it is said, go to Niagara Falls, visit Sir C. and
Lady Bagot, and return to New York to embark in
the Warspite. The following extracts from the papers
will give you all the news of interest by this arrival :

his health, by enjoying the sea breeres of Newport.

ELoQuENcE.--The following sublime peroration
was recently delivered before a court of justice in the
interior of Pennsylvania :—" Your honors sets high
upon the adornable seat of justice, like the American
eagle perched upon the Asiatic rack of Gibraltar,
while the eternal streams of justice, like the cadaverous
clods of the valley, flow meandering :It your feet."
FROM NEW ORLEANS.—We ha .e New Orleans
papers of the 6th. The Picayune announces the ar-
rival, on the ,sth, of the new British Consul to Texas,
Capt. Elliot, of Chinese notoriety. He came via
Havana, and was landed at the Balize from the British
steamer Forth. The yellow fever is said by some of
the physicians to have made its appearance in the city;
but others of the craft deny the fact. " Who shall
decide when doctors disagree ?"

STATE OF TRADE. z
Among the regular merchants then 3 are some indi-
cations of that improvement in business which must
inevitably grow out of low prices ar.d the abundance
of money, in spite of all the discredit which overtakes
paper securities. As yet the receipts of produce are
light, but are on the increase, and will, doubtless, swell
to an enormous extent when the harvests are over.
