ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.  By the steam-ship Africa, which arrived at Liverpool yesterday (Sunday), we have advices from New York to the 24th ult. She has brought 92 passengers, but no specie. • The Royal Mail steamer Arabia arrived at New York on the 23d, after a fine run of 9 days, 22 hours, and 30 minutes mean time from Liverpool. The United States' steamer Pacific, which sailed from Liverpool three days before the Arabia, arrived at New York .11 hours • after her, having, on the fifth day out, broken her main shaft. The screw-steamer. Glasgow arrived at New York on the 23d ult. from the Clyde. The deaths in New York for the week ending the 20th ult. were 969, •of which upwards of 400 were caused by the extreme heat: The .fever at New Orleans and several other places in the Southern States was hourly on the increase. - The deaths at New Orleans on the '2lst from it were 270, and for the week 1,350, and from other causes 230. It had also broken out at Baltimore and Cumberland ; at Natchez, with a population of only 5,000, the deaths had been upwards of 300 from the sauce cause.' The Washington correspondent of the New York _Herald, writing on the23d, says :  Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 25,684 quarters of wheat, 7,350 41-ley, 21,365 oats, 4,272 beans, 13,055 linseed, 355 rapeseed, 22 mustard seed 1,765 sundry seeds, 210 casks and 8,163 barrels of flour.  Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of wheat, coastwise from Gravesend, Kent, were moderate, and in fair average condition. Amoncrst the supply were 700 quarters of new. From the Easet coast, the receipts were small ; and those by land carriage from the Midland Counties were trifling. The show of samples of both red and white was very moderate ; nevertheless, the demand, owing, in some measure, to the refusal of the French Government to allow any advance in the value of bread in Paris during the first fortnight of the present month, was in a sluggish state, and sales propprogressed at prices about equal to those of Monday last. Fora forward delivery only a limited business was transacted. We were fairly supplied with foreign •wheat. Good Baltic parcels were steady, and the turn dearer. In all other kinds a moderate business was transacted, at late rates.  "The mission to Constantinople was filled to-d 4 by the appointment of the lion. Carroll Spence, of Marylaud, vice Mr. Marsh, removed. Mr. Sanders' commission as Consul of London Was forwarded to him to-day by mail. The mission to France is yet unfulfilled, nor is it decided who will get it. All announcements to the contrary are mere gossip."  Floating cargoes from the westward sold at full quotations. The arrival continues small. Very little English barley was on offer, and the supply of foreign was by no means large. The trade ruled active, at an advance of ls. per quarter. Malt sold briskly, and the quotations were is to 2s per quarter above last week's currency. We were fairly supplied with oats; the inquiry for which ruled active, at a rise of is per quarter.
