ARRIVAL Or THE LIVERPOOL.
The British steam ship Liverpool arri-
we'd at New York on the 10Th from Liv-
erpool, bringing Liverpool dates to the lst
August. This is the first time since the
Atlantic ocean was first crossed, that En-
glish news is published the same month in
Peoria Illinois, nearly 5000 miles distant.
We copy few items from the summary
of the New Y ork Spectator.
The Liverpool brings out l0l passen.
gers, all that could be accommodated on
board. There. were. a number Of appli-
cants who had to be turned away.
Among other interesting news by the
Liverpool we have intelligence of the
deaths of Sultan Mahmoud, lady Hester
Stanhope, and admiral Sir Isaac Coffin.
Birmingham has again been the scene
Of alarming observation-disclosures alarming
than any Of previous occurrence. On the
night Of the 10th July the town was for
some hours completely at the mercy of
the rioters. A body Of about 500 attacked
the prison, the windows Of which they
demolished, without interruption from the
police, who were instructed not to act
without orders from the magistrates.
Having done their work here, the rioters
next attacked long range Of buildings
occupied by Messrs. Bourne, the wind
ows Of which they also broke in pieces;
and then dividing into smaller parties,
commenced more serious devastations.
They burst in the doors and flung the
contents of the building, consisting Of
groceries, into the street. They then set
fire to the warehouse, and also to that Of
a Mr.. Leggett, and both were destroyed.
While these houses were burning the
rioters attacked and broke into many
stores and shops, pillaging and destroying
: every thing they could lay their hands on.
Thus matters continued until half past 10
when strong bodies of the police and mil
itary arrived, and the rioters took to flight.
The operations of the Chartists were
violent and alarming also at Leeds, Stock
port and other places.
The government had, in consequence
Of these. events, brought forward propo-
sition for the increase Of the army, to the
extent of 5000 men; and also for the es-
Enlistment of police force at Birming-
ham. The prospects of the harvests
throughout England were good, but not
extraordinary.
Mr.. Webster made great speech at
the agricultural dinner at Oxford, produ-
cling an immense sensation.
The Canadian prisoners, John G. Par
ker and eight others, were released.
somewhere about the 18th or 18th of July.
Those released were ]. G.. Parker, r..
Dixon, VIM. Alves, r. Walker, Finley
Malcolm, Leonard Watson, James Brown
Ira Anderson and Paul Bedford. Linus
w. Miller and John Grant yet remained
in prison, but it is thought they would
also be released.
The Turkish aud Egyptian hostilines
have been brought to speedy close.
About the 22d Of June the two armies
came in contact near Aleppo, and after a
combat Of two hours the Egyptians gained
complete victory, the Turks leaving ev-
cry thing in their hands and flying in
great confusion.
To add to the disasters of the new Sui
tan, it appears that wide spread disaaec-
ton exists among his highest officers,
civil and military; it is even said that the
admiral of his fleet has made unequivocal
overtures to the Pacha Of Egypt, and that
the Sultan's new divan was disposed to
follow the example. 1t was affirmed too
that the Pacha had been invited to Con-
stantinople, and was preparing to go thith-
er, at the head of large army.
Negotiations were in progress for a
loan Of fifty millions of franks from the
Bank of France to the Bank of. England,
and it was reported at the latest dates that
the arrangement had been completed.
AWful Msanity.-We learnfrom Briggs
Bulletin, Of this morning, that Mrs. Barn
ard wife of Mr.. Fl. Barnard, Of Andover,
"a farmer. much esteemed and respected)
who has for some years been subject to fits
of insanity, was attacked, on Tuesday.
with violent madness which she had new
er before exhibited. During it's paroxysm
she seized one of her children, "a boy ten
years old, and with a knife severed the
muscles of the neck until the head fell up
on the childs breast. His cries were
heard by woman, not afar off, who ran
to his rescue, and found that the wretched
mother had partially cut the throat of an
other child about three years old. The
woman tore the child from the mothers
grasp, and fled with it to the road. The
mother pursued her. with the knife red
with the blood of her offspring, and met a
Mrs. Shattuck, who had come out, at.
tracted by the cries of the woman and
child, and attacked her with insane feroc.
ity, inficting several wounds. Happily,
some men passing by seized the maniac,
and succeeded in securing her.
