AMERICAN NEWS

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING.

The Hibernia, Captain Burber, has just arrived
at this port this morning, and by her we have dates
from New York to the 24th ultimo, inclusive.
The papers of the 22d say the failures among mer-
chants continue numerous, and business generally is
exceedingly dull in all its departments. The state of
business is sensibly felt by the banks, which have lost
the most profitable part of their business, consisting
of the deposits of the small dealers about town. We
apprehend that near three-fourths of the business de-
rived from the deposits of that class of dealers have
ceased to be..
It is understood that the labours of Lord Ashbur-
ton are nearly brought to a close. No doubt is now
entertained that the negotiations will 'be satisfactorily
consummated at an early day.
IMPORTANT FROM Havm—Captain Hill, of the Wil-
liam Thatcher, at Philadelphia, from St. Croix, states
that information had been received there from St. Do-
mingo, giving the important information that a revolu-
tion had broken out in the Island, and that Boyer had
been deposed and put to death. This is important, if true.
MORE HONOUR AND JUSTICE.—Another negro has
been burned at the stake at the mouth of the Red river.
He was captured in the swamps and burnt in the same
manner as described in our paper a day or two since. He
had killed a man and carried off two women, one of whom
he had -violated, and for this they had him well chained,
and the faggots ready, with a view of giving him a fore-
taste of his inevitable ultimate end.
ENGLISH PHILANTHROPY.—Harnessing women to coal
carts in the colleries, making them drag a horse-load, and
then cry shame against this country for its slaves.
THE WEATHER.—It is just possible that we may have
a small spell of pleasant weather before the year Is out ;
but still it is a matter that is very problematical indeed.
Here we have the thermometer up to ninety in the shade
—whilst a dirty mizzling rain was falling fir thirty-six
hours. The side walks are covered with mud—the
streets ditto—the air is muggy—the ladies clothes get
draggled with dirt—every body feels uncomfortable, and
every one expects the cholera.
SMUGGLING ON THE LINES.—It has been carried on
pretty extensively, of late, on the Canada lines. Entire
packages of printed goods may be obtained at Troy, at
20 per cent. less than the cost of regular importation.
This is agreeable news to the honest importer.
IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.—We have been favoured with
the sight of a letter from Vera Cruz, under date of May 17,
which discloses some facts of great political consequence,
The letter says :—" Santa Ana has 60,000 troops
under arms, well paid and equipped. Castle Ulloa,
close to Vera Cruz, is repaired and strongly fortified.
As for the Texans, no fear is entertained of them. The
vessels of war bearing their flag, it is understood, do not
belong to them, and stand a good chance of being treated
as pirates."
Speaking of the captives at Perote, it says :—" On Sa-
turday theCommanding-General here told me that the
whole of the prisoners were liberated." •
In adding that this intelligence is from a highly in-
formed and trustworthy source, we must remark that the
alleged extent of Mexican preparations is certainly
startling. If real, they can scarcely have been made
without English assistance.
We regard it as far more likely that this array is
against freedom in Mexico than Texas. Armaments
against the latter are Santa Ana's pretence for keeping
a force on foot sufficient to secure, by the bayonet, the
power which the late elections will take from him.

The fine property of Mr. Kenrick, called the
Nantclwyd Estate, in Denbighshire, and including a
domain of near two thousand acres of land, with an
ancient house upon it (somewhat dilapidated, it was
said in the Auction-room), was yesterday sold by
Mr. George Robins, at the Auction Mart, to Mr.
Leyland, the opulent banker of Liverpool, for fifty-
seven thousand pounds.
THE POOR-LAW BILL.—We stated on Wednesday that
Ministers carried their object on Tuesday night. of continu-
ing the Commission for five years. In the Times,
however, of yesterday, it_ is said, " that on Tuesday"
Sir James Graham " did not catry single clause." To

, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 15, 1842

vindicate our correctness, and show the error of the
Times, we transcribe from the Votes of the House of
Commons of Tuesday evening the following passage :
" Poor-law Amendment Bill considered in Committee—
First clause, Poor-law Commission continued." After
recapitulating all the divisions on the amendments, the
votes go on—" Question put, That the clause as amended
stand part of the Bill; the Committee divided—Ayes,
146 ; Noes, 26."

PRINTING AND STATIONERY.—According to a return
made to Parliament, the sums paid by the Stationery •
office for printing for the House of Commons during the
five years ending 1840, averaged about 32,0001. each
year. The charge for the year 1840 was 32,152/. The
expense of printing for the House of Lords averages
somewhat more than the third of this amount, and was
for 1840, 9,7181. The total value of stationery and
stores delivered by her Majesty's Stationery-office for the
same years averaged about 145,0001. In 1840-41 the
amount was 143,6511.

THE ASSIZEB.-It is gratifying to find by our Circuit
Intelligence, that notwithstanding the prevailing dis-
tress, the number of prisoners for trial is not greater than
usual. In numerous towns, indeed, we learn that the ca-
lendar is very light. This is highly creditable to a
starving people, an should induce our legislators to
forego for a time at least their class interests, and relieve
our working population, who are not more remarkable
for their industry when they can find employment, than
for their patient endurance under great privations.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
PARIS, JULY 13.

The Paris papers of to-day are wholly absorbed by
electioneering matters, each drawing their own con-
clusions, and each claiming the victory. The Debats, in
a lees confident tone, however, deplores the check its
party has received in Paris, but trusts the great city
will remain true to its principles, and calculates upon a
majority at least equal to the last. This paper gives
the result of the general elections as follows :-422 re••
turned (249 Conservatives, 173 Opposition.) The Presse
merely confines itself to the following result, without
any comment whatever :-427 elected, of whom 254 arc
Conservatives, and 173 of different shades of the Oppo-
sition. The Opposition papers, particularly the Nacional
consider the advantages gained by Ministers in some of
the provinces as more than counter-balanced by the re-
sult of the Paris elections.

The Constieutionnel calculates upon the Legitimists
joining the Liberals and the Radicals ; whilst the Cour-
rier Francais sums up the whole by saying that although
the majority for Ministers remains the same, they must
not reckon without their host ; for the majority of 1842
may be equal to that of 1840, but may feel very differ-
ently disposed ; it has gained some new recruits, but
the loss it has suffered in such men as Delessert, Le
Gentil, De Jussieu, Piscatory, Fuld, Chair d'Este,
Ange de Barbat, is not to be repaired, and may pro•
duce disorder in the Ministerial ranks ; in a word,
that the numerical result is scarcely favourable to the
Ministers, whilst the moral result must be their death-
blow.

The Conwnerce, a violent Opposition paper, does not
think it possible the Cabinet of the 29th of October can
hold out against the new Chambers. A Ministerial
crisis, it pretends, is at hand, and that M. Guizot had
better at once make his will.

The truth is, Ministers expect to gain about twenty
on the late Chambers, and they are disappointed, and, as
the Opposition will have it, defeated.

FOUR o'CLocx.—There now only remain six returns
of Deputies to be known. Ministers have the certainty
therefore, of 75 to 80 in their favour.
