arrived off Cowes, Sunday night, 9th November, in
l6I days; but her passage protractcd by ac-
cdent which occurred TO her larboard engine the
Doth of October, when the part which connects the
crank with the side levers gave way, the shock
arising from which cracking both the side levers of
the larboard engine. The disabled machine was i'm
mcdiatcly thrown out of gear, and the remainder of
the voyage, about 200 miles, performed with only
one engine (thc stmboard onc,) aided by the sails.
She steamed up to southampton on Monday morning.,
and went into dock for repairs; the voyage 10 Bre-
men was consequently abandoned, the mails, specie,

Liberia and Greet BRITANNIA Liverpool paper
says:-Lord PamcrStOn has Just concluded IA treaty
of Peace and alliancr with the President of Liberia
in London. Tn mission of the President in Europe
is for the purpose Of forming treaties of peace with
Great Britain and France, and the recognition of the

Postal 4ryangements- much vexed postal
differences which existed between the United States
and our Government is finally arranged to the salts
faction of both Governments. The arrangement has
yet TO go before the American Congress for formal
sanction.
Financia.-Somc of the papers received by the
Cambria, stated, that the Rothschids about
going into liquidation, but we think it is not
Mcssrs. Hope 6 Co., the eminent bankers of Am
stcrdam, and others as learn through the New
York Tribune, have opened an administration, %
as it is termed of the United States Loan of 1868.
trust has been instituted. enjoying public conf
dcncc, with which is deposited, say SlO0,000 of the
Loan Certificates are then issued by the Trustees
in sums to suit purchasers, bearing per cent inter-
est emitting the owner to such amount of the
stock in this administration, the interest TO be
ayablc when received from the United States by
Hope & Co. As the loan bears 6 per cent. and the
issues of the Administration only per cent. the diff
ference pays Hope & Co. for the cost of the arrange
ment. There is also profit on the sales of Scrip,
as the price in small sums has risen at Amsterdam to
1903, which stock cost in London probably not over
g. The advantage of this arrangement to the buyer
is that he can invest small large at a very
rood interest in a stock which he has confidence in
being recommended by Hope & Co. and on which the
interest pay able in Amsterdam without trouble to
him of keeping agent in America. This cad
minstration'' must exert favorable influence on our
Stock.
