AMERICAN NEWS

(EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.)
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

By the New York' packet-ship Stephen Whitney,
which arrived off the port this afternoon, we have re-
ceived papers to the 16th January. A great demonstra-
tion had been made in New York in favour of a conti-
nuance of the present bankrupt laws, for which :purpose
men of great influence belonging to all parties have
joined, which renders it still more probable that the pre-
sent law will not be repealed ; but so nicely are parties
balanced, that the votes, are expected to be equal. The
political news by this arrival is altogether unimportant.
Prices of cotton have declined. Money was plentiful,
and the rates of foreign exchanges lower since our former
advices, namely, choice bills on London 1081 to 1081.
ANOTHER. MURDER.—It is but a few days since that we
were called upon to record the murder of a woman by her
husband, under circumstances scarce ever paralleled for bru-
tality and horror. To-day we have again another murder
committed under the excitement of passion, produced apparently
without any cause save that of intemperance. A man named
William Adams, an Englishman, a street-sweeper of the 15th
ward, residing in Amity-lane, next to the corner of Wooster-
street, came home on Thursday afternoon about 5 o'clock,
and commenced quarrelling with a girl named Ann Gor-
man, a servant in his emply, who was washing some dishes.
She made some remonstrance to his language, when
he seized a plate and threw it at her bead, and snatching a
carving knife swore he would have her life. His wife, who had
been washing in the yard, came in at this moment, and re-
monstrated with him upon his violent conduct, when spring-
' ing towards her, and exclaiming that he would have her life
too, he struck her in the right breast with the carving knife,
inflicting a wound about four inches in depth. Drawing the
reekinz, weapon from her breast, he struck her a second blow
and with such tremendous torte that the knife penetrated
through a wooden corset board, and through the sternum,
entering the left ventricle of the heart. The girl Ann Gor-
man, horrified at this dreadful scene. ran out, and was fol-
lowed by Mrs. Adams, who went into a porter-house at the
corner of Amity-lane and Wooster-street, wkere she died in a
very few minutes.
The examination of Nicholas Biddle and others on a charge
of conspiracy arising out of their connection with the Bank of
the United States was on the 13th ult. before the Recorder of
Philadelphia. All the prisoners were present. in Court.
The crowd was very great, as the curiosity of the
auditory -was intense to hear the developments in
this interesting proceeding. The examination was re-
sumed on the afternoon of the 14th. The Court, after exa-
mining one witness, adjourned to the next day. Mr. Thomas
S. Taylor, the present cashier of the United. States Barik,-was
the principal witness examined, and heproduced a large number
of receipts and loose memoranda respecting the business of the
Bank, signed Iby Biddle and others, the object in producing
which was to inculpate the prisoners.

We are glad to learn there is no probability of
altering the penny-postage to A oz.
