Maryland Election.

The Baltimore American Of Monday
gives table Of the members elect 10 the
Maryland Legislature and Classics them.
From this we learn that The Sscais is com.
posed Of nine Americans, seven Democrats
and six Wings, and the House Of fifty EIGHT
Americans and sixteen "Union" men or
members elected by union between the
Wings and Democrats. This Legislature
will have Senator 10 elect In the room Of
Mr.. Pratt, whose term expires March 4,

The Collins steamship Pacific, Capt Nye.
from Liverpool Sd inst. arrived at New York
on the 18th having made the passage in ten
days and three hours.
A singular panic was created in England
by rumors of war with the United States.
and that Mr.. Buchanan had demanded his
passports. Mr.. Buchanan was obliged pub
licly to contradict the rumor, as wholly
without foundation. Notwithstanding this
IN uneasy feeling remained in the public
mind.
The london Times, in a series Of skilfully
malicious editorials. started the subject.
which. exaggerated by the Provincial press,
speedily attained such dimensions that ex.
tras were issued. announcing that the Amer.
lean minister had demanded his passports
General astonishment and regret was elici-
ted by this announcement, and energetic
protests were heard against Government
forcing the nation into so dangerous war.
Our Liverpool agent telegraphed to his
EIcellency, the American Minister, who
promptly and courteously sent him an ex.
plicit contradiction Of the runor.
The Liverpool Journal Of Saturday, ID

says, We have received telegraph'c
