AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.

We have commenced looking for the return of
the steamer Britannia, to-day, but previous to
her arrival, which will, probably be in the
course of a few hours, one of our ex-
cellent line of packet ships; the " New
York," commanded by Captain Collins, has
arrived with dates four days later than
before, that is to the 19th ult., inclusive. The
news they contain is notofverygreat importance.
The Tariff Question and the Ratification of the
Treaties with Great Britain were still be-
fore the Senate, the latter being debated,
as before, with closed doors. The Com-
mittee, to whom President Tyler's fourth veto
message had been referred, had agreed to a
Report, drawn up by J. Q. Adams, deprecating
in the strongest terms the conduct and policy of
President Tyler, and closing with a proposal
for modifying the Constitution so far as
to prevent the exercise of the veto power by the
President upon any Bill passed by a majority of
the whole number of both Houses of Legislature.
Lord Ashburton had left Washington, and
proceeded to Philadelphia on his way to New
York, and it is said to Canada. He was in ex-
cellent health, and various demonstrations of
high respect were in preparation at the principal
cities where he would sojourn.

The business and money markets were steady
and quiet, the rate of exchange on Eno-land 6
to 71. A good autumn trade was expected in
New York, to compensate for the dulness of the
summer season, but business generally is spoken
of as dull and unprofitable.
The arrivals out had been numerous; the
Sheridan, Columbus, and South America, from
Liverpool, the Gladiator, from London, and a
packet from Havre. The steamer Britannia
was hourly looked for, and we trust will bring
now in a few hours back to this port the news of
her own safe arrival out and home ; she is fully
due to-day.

We are sorry to learn that the New York has
brought, as steerage passengers, about 300 of
the working class, chiefly emigrants, returning
to this country, disappointed and hopeleLs of
establishing themselves in the adopted home
they had chosen. She had also a fair number of
cabin passengers.

ANOTHER RIOT-BLOODSHED-AND
PROBABLE LOSS OF LIFE.

The Cincinnati Message, of Aug. 9, says :—Our
city last evening was the scene of another disgrace-
ful mob. Yesterday, the German company, com-
manded by Lieutenant Michael Heckle, were on pa-
rade, when the boys, as is usual, were following close
upon them. During the day, Lieut. Heckle struck
several of the boys with his sword, not injuring them
seriously, but with sufficient force to cause the blood
to flow freely from the heads of two or three of them.
At this the crowd of boys became much enraged, and
after the company had been dismissed, and retired to
Sans Souci House, the boys, in large numbers col-
lected there and commenced throwing stones and
missiles at the house and tauntingly threatened to
demolish the house and company. Several of the
soldiers at this time rushed upon the boys, and
were beating them with their fists, when Mr.
Jones, one of our constables, happening to pass, com-
manded the peace. He had no sooner uttered the
words than Lieut. Heckle, the proprietor of the Sans
Souci House, rushed upon him with his sword,
cutting a piece out of his right wrist, and hor-
ribly bruising and mangling his hand. This caused
great excitement among the men who had, by
this time, assembled in large numbers, and
there was a general rush to the scene. Seve-
ral others were severely injured ; among them
was a German, who received a stab in the
neck, just below the ear. His wound is sup-
posed to be mortal. The crowd around the house
had by this time greatly increased, and were fired
upon by three or four of the Germans, from the second
story windows. The City Marshal, with his posse,
now entered, the house to secure the rioters, when
Lieut. 11. recommended his company to "form a line,"
buckle on their rapiers, and not surrender while one
man remained alive to defend the house. The crowd
without now commenced throwing stones and clubs at
the house, the windows of which were all broken in
a few minutes, and several of the inmates considerably
injured. Fifteen or sixteen of the German company,
among whom was Lieut. Heckle, were now arrested
and taken into custody by the police. They will be
examined before the Mayor this morning. Mr. Jones,
we understand, suffered severely durhig the night
from the wounds in his hands, and has entirely lost
the use of his right arm.—/Vew York courier and
Inquirer.

ARRIVAL OF TilE BRITANNIA.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
The Boston and Halifax Royal Mail steamer Bri-
tannia, arrived in the Mersey this morning at seven
o'clock, having sailed from Boston on the Ist, and
from Halifax on the 3d instant, making the trip from
the latter port in 101 days.
(From the New York American.)
NEW YORK, Two P.M., AUG. 31.—A material
change for the etter has come over the prospects of
the country since our last. The ratification of the
British treaty by the Senate, is looked upon as set-
tling the question of enduring and harmonious peace
with England for long years to come. May it be
perpetual ! On this solid basis of confidence and re-
mewed hope, comes the Tariff Bill, just passed by
Congress, and signed by the President without delay,
and now therefore the law of the land. We annex
a comparative abstract of the duties it imposes, and
those imposed by the law of 1822. In addition to the
actual amount of duties, is the fact that they are to
be paid in cash, where, heretofore, there was an
average credit of six months.
The valuation of goods is to be ascertained in the
manner heretofore in use, adding only the commis.
sion to the charges before included, before estimating
the duty.
The following list comprises all the important arti-
cles to be admitted duty free :-

seminary of learning in the United States.
