The ASIA from. Liverpool l4th inst, reached this
port yesterday morning, with news from Europe
two days later than that received by the City of
Baltimore.

at the advance of about one-eighth of penny per

visions were in better demand.

9lA 9lS for account, and 9ls 9lg for money.
The return of the Bank of England exhibits de-
crease for the week of $500 S35 in bullion. The
demand for money was less pressing.
No fighting had taken place in Italy. Napoleon
had arrived in Genoa and was received with an
immense display of royal pomp and popular joy.
He issued very exciting address to his ar
my. The tactics Of the Austrians were still
shrouded in much mystery, but it was thought
that they were the result of deep deliberaton and
would be mostly of defensive nature. Prussia
had published very important parliamentary pa
per defining her position, from which it would APP
pear as if that kingdom and the German Confede-
ration would yet play conspicuous part in the
war. England had officially proclaimed her neutra
lily but the declaration must be sanctioned by the
new Parliament in order to be permanent Count

France of his neutrality in the war.
Paris remained quiet.

ant-corn law sgtator, died on the 14th instant.
By the arrival of the Moses Taylor we have de-
tails of news from San Francisco to the 5th inst,
and later intelligence from Central America, New
Granada, the South Pacific and the Sandwich
Islands.
The letter of our San Francisco correspondent,
published in another column, contains all the news
of interest from that quarter The specie list of the
Moses Taylor footed up 81 1888, 500, which is the
largest shipment since the 9th of December, 1851
This looks well for the dggngs and is the only true
evidence we can have on this side of their CONT
nued productivepess We must refer to the complaint
made in San Francisco of the overcrowding with
passengers of the steamers on the Pacific side.
We can hardly realise the inconvenie nee aud suf
ferng which mus tnke place on board steamer,
during fourteen or fifteen days passage, where
sixteen hundred human beings are huddled toge
ther to say nothing of the fghtfu loss ofiie which
would inevitably follow if accident should occur
while this living freight was on board. We join in
the prayer of one thousand of the passengers of
the John L. Stephens in her late trip from Panama
to San Francisco, and sincerely hope that some
steps may be taken on the part of the authorities
to compel the Pacific Mail Company to conform to
the law which stpulates the number of passengers
avessel shall carry to every hundred tons burthen.
The Moses TAYLOR brings partial confirmation
of the reported landing of Gen. Walker, the fill
buster chief, at Acapulco, Mexico to join the
liberal cause. He had landed at Acapulco with
his leutenants, Anderson and Natzmer but had no
men with him, as reported, and it was sup
posed when the Golden Gate left that he was on his
way to the United States. We give elsewhere, for
what they are worth, the conflicting rumors and
surmises on the subject of his mysterious move
ments.
The advices from Central America New Granada
and the South Pacific States are exceedingly in
terestng, but we have space only to refer our
readers To the letters of correspondents, aud
ahe extracts from newspapers, which are given in
