PACIFIC.  LIVERPOOL, THURSDkY.—The Pacific brings. four days later news, and 92 passengers, but no specie.' From Washington we learn that large numbers of the office-seekers, many of them sadly disappointed, have returned to their homes, and that place is beginning to resume its wonted appearance. Notwithstanding that the senate adjourned over from Thursday till Anday, the democratic portion of its members were exceedingly busy in presenting the claims of their friends. Our despatches relate almost exclusively to appointments confirmed and to be made. It is reiterated that Mr. Buchanan will go to England, Mr. Wise to France, and Mr. Soule to Spain. The New-York offices have not, and probably will not, be filled till the different factions come to some amicable understanding amongst themselves. With regard to foreign relations, we may state that a very animated debate took place in the United States senate on the 16th inst., on the Central American question, and the alleged encroachments of England. Connected with this question, we find that in the New-York Assembly, on the 18th, Mr. D. B. Taylor obtained a suspension of the regular order of business, and called up his resolutions approving of the inaugural address of President Pierce in general, and especi. ally those parts of it which lead towards the acquisition of more territory, viz.:—Cuba, the Monroe doctrine, and the Compromise, including the Fugitive Slave Law. The surrender of Limas to the British steamer Devastation is confirmed. The trial of Dr. Gardiner was slowly proceeding at Washington. According to all accounts the trial would end in Gardiner's conviction.  Large fires had occurred, within three days, in Boston, Buffalo, Troy, Newhaven, Rochester, &c. The total losses, however, did not exceed 8100,000. A Baltimore mechanic has applied for a space in the New-York Crystal Palace to erect a steam engine, which he says will carry a steamship across the Atlantic Ocean in thirty-six hours. The British cotton ships America and Belmont were not greatly injured by fire at New-Orleans, and the cotton being pressed, would not be damaged more then twenty per cent. A bill had passed the Ohio Legislature, which authorises the county auditor., in cases where banks refuse to pay the taxes levied upon them, to break open the safes and vaults of said institutions, and take therefrom the amount of the assessment. The bill even goes so far as to enumerate what instruments shall be used on such occasions, naming crowbars, pickaxes, &e. They have a queer way of constructing and enforcing the laws in that state, truly. Emigration to Australia was progressing in the United States. When the Pacific left there were twelve vessels loading in the port of New-York alone for that portion of the world. The number of vessels which had left the United States for Australia from June last was 84, 48 of which were from New-York. By an arrival ,in New-York from Vera Cruz, we learn that alarming rumours were in circulation, set afloat by some persons interested in maintaining public agitation. In Tucubaya it was said that Senor Lombardini, the actual President, had been sent to prison, and Senor Blancarte, General of Division, murdered. The Governor of Durango, in accord with his council, had voted for Santa Anna as President ; so had the government of Aguascalientes. This makes eleven votes for the General. The sentiment of Vera Cruz was also in his favour.  General Blancarte had left Mexico, with a brigade of fifteen hundred men and six pieces of artillery, to brings to terms the State of Guanajuato, which would not adopt the revolution. Senor Don Ignacio Mora NlHamill had arrived at Tehuantepec, commissioned by the government to deliver up the Isthmus to the representatives of the Sloo Company.
