The stea packet Liverpool, Captain
Fayrer, arrived at New York on Sunday
afternoon, from t he port of Liverpool, which
she left on the 18th of June. She brings
Liverpool papers to the day of sailing, and
London papers to the 18th ut.
There is no news of special importance
by this arrival The commercial news,
however, is of highly favorable descrip-
tion-nuch better than was anticipated
TO the great Disappointment ofthe croakers.
Cotton has advanced in the face Of large
mportations-and the whole aspect oltrade
has improved. The British funds were
firm, though complaint was made of the
scarcity of money and of the high premium
1T bore. We make copions extracts from
the New York papers of the news by this
arrival.

Several vessels have lately arrived at

During the 26,h and 3)il of may, Liver

THE CAPTURED FISHING YES
CFTS

The Revenue Gutter Hamilton, Capt.
Sturgis, has returned from yarmouth,
whittier she went to inquire into the cause
of the detention of the fishing vessels by
British authorities We have been fur
nlshed by Capt. Sturgis, with the substance
of the testimony in regard to the several
cases, as prepared by Mr. Grantham, A
merican consul for Yarmouth, n. S.
1t appears that of The four schooners cap
tured, one Of them, the Magnolia, did not
violate the Treaty, by fishing within the
prohibited limits: another,the Independence,
did not fish on the forbidden ground, but lent
their nets for one night only to some Nova
Scotia fishermen, and received in returns
few herrings a third vessel, the Hart, avoid
ed fishing within the limits prohibited, but
her Captain and one man assisted a Nova
Scotia fisherman in mendng nets and salt

How far these acts will be adludged tres

lions, remains to he proved. A fourth ves-
sci, however the JaUa, ii is admitted, viola

VIRGINIA. HOW STANDS SHE

ViRGlN A HOW STA DIS SHEf
A missire to distant Wigs and Wing
Editors. w e observe from letters and pub
lie prints that some Of our distant Wing
compatrots are still under the impression,
derived from the hardy figuring and indie
fa,igable justification of our venerable
contemporary of the Enquirer, that the
Wings have lost ground in Virginia. In
this, they are very much deceived. In the
House of Delegates, the Wings, al most,
have lost bat four; the probability, approach
ing to certainty, is that they have lost but
three, and we believe not more than one or
two. They have gained Two in the Senate
"A permanent gaia-and from that and
other circumstances, Of more value than
three times two 10 the Uouse.-They have
lost ono member of Congress, Mr. Nal
lory, and gained three, Messrs. Hill, Cog
gin and Barton-the latter gentleman being
certainly elected, though not returned
the loss in the House is thus more than
balanced in the Senate and in Congress.
But this is not all, nor the best. The
Wings have gained largely at The polls.
Strong Wing parties have been developed
in counties where heretofore there was
all lHuNlIudl W MY ~ w iOhiiH'
The Wing gain in the great central Alher-
marie region, the uniform exponent of the
popular sentiment of Virginia, is of itself
more than compensation for Wing loss in
all the State besides.
Neither have the Conservatives lost any
ground though they lose member That
independent and patriotic party has fully
sustained itself, and indeed much extended
its influence in that very important section
of Virginia, from BoIetourt to the line of
Tennessee. These are facts perfectly we'll
known here, and as generally admitted,
save by the Government organ, which no
body expects to admit them, at least until
the elections in Georgia Tennessee, North
Carolina and Kentucky, are past. The
Loco Foc0s have elected but Sc out Of 1874
members of the popular branch
Finally, we say to distant brethren, that
the Wings of Virginia are satisfied with
the present and confident of the future.
