Inc steamer ArQ6td arrived at this
port Friday morning last bringing Liv-
erpool dates to Sept. 10th. The FL
nancal difficulties DO not seem to be
confined to this country. Shares Of
every description had fallen consider
ably on the Paris Bourse, and the con-
dition of the Vienna money market, as
we'll as that of many of the German
Banks, attracted good deal Of uneasy
attention. The London News says |:
ut is most unusual circumstance for
the three greatest money markets of
the world to be thus simultaneously
stricken. In England, however, the
quiet is merely the quiet Of caution !;
in France it results from financial en-
haustion consequent upon previously
inflated speculation. In America the
situation presents many features anal
ogous. to that of France, but with this
ditferencc-that tho rottcnness is near,
or the surface Of things"
ENGLAND. The Atlantic telegraph
cable was about to be landed from both
the Niagara and Agamcmnon,, and
stored in the Government dockyard at
Plymouth. A large engineering firm
have offered for q certain sum to lay
the cable with the aid of the govern
ment vessels, taking all the trouble and
risk out of the hands of the company,
and have the cable laid from Ireland
to Newfoundland by June or July next;
or failing this, they will not only claim
no recompcnse, but will pay the com
pany the entire cost of the cable
They to receive an additional amount
for each month gained, if the cable is
laid before June. d.
INDIA.--The dates are Calcutta
10th, Bombay 18th, and Madras 18th
of August. The advices are very i'm
portant. Delhi was still held by the
mutineers, who made fierce sorties on
the English troops, amongst whom the
cholera had appeared SO severely that
it was reported that they had to retire
from before that city. Gen. Havelock' S
victorious career was interrupted by
the same enemy, and he was forced to
fall back on the ruins of Cawnpore, in
order to nurse his sick. There was q
partial rising of one regiment in the
Bombay Presidency, while the Govern
or General was forced to disarm his
body-guard at Calcutta. Lord Elgin
had arrived in that city from China
with a small body of troops. The Pun
jab was slightly disturbed, and the Eng.
fish troops had been defeated, near Ar
rak, with the loss of two hundred men.
Rcinforcements were beginning to ar
rive, however, and it was confidently
hoped that the Europeans would tri.
umph soon. -.
CENTRAL Authorization. n. E.
Vcnable, United States Minister to
Guatemala, died Aug. Odd of cholera
which is now ravaging both Guatemala
and San Salvador. Costa RIGA has
made formal proposal to Nicaragua
that the two States be united under
one government with President to
be named by the people. Nicaragua
will probably consent to the plan sug-
gested. The revolution in Peru was
almost crushed out. .rs .r
MExIco.-We have interesting nows
from Mexico. The ecclesiastical NAL
contents in Pucbla had fomented an
other outbreak, which was only sup
pressed by the troops Of the republic.
Many arrests were made. Dsturban-
ces Of like character in various parts
of the country are reported. a for
midable revolution had broken out in
the province of Guadalajara, but we
arc not advised as to its origin or OBJ
jccts. Reports are rife of another fill
libustcring invasion of Sonora from Cal
ifornia. ... .. ... ... 49,.
