LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.— The American mail steam-ship Atlantic, Capt. West, which has been expected at this port since Tuesday last, only reached the Mersey from New-York this morning, having been nearly thirteen days in performing the voyage. She has brought over 89 passengers, and by her we have received our files of papers, from all parts of the United States, four days later than those received on Monday by the Europa. The latest date from New-York is the 7th inst. The British mail steamer Hibernia, from Liverpool, arrived out at New-York on the 6th, with our advices from Liverpool to the 24th August The advices from the seat of Government at Washington of the 6th instant partake of an important character, inasmuch as they acquaint us of the passage, by the House of Representatives, by a vote of 109 to 97, of the bill providing for the settlement of the boundary dispute between Texas and New Mexico, and the bill establishing a territorial government for New Mexico, as they were received from the Senate. The New-York Herald, in publishing this information, takes occasion to congratulate the country, and to declare that now harmony is re-established, that the great crisis has been passed, and "our foreign enemies who foreboded the dissolution of this confederacy have proved to be false prophets, and our higher law' fanatics defeated and prostrate." Two weeks later news had reached New-York from California by tho steam-ship Empire City from Chagres via Kingston, Jamaica, and by her were received two millions worth of dollars in gold dust. By her arrival a report was received that cholera had appeared on board the Panama steamer, bound from San Francisco to Panama, causing between forty and fifty deaths among those who were returnlog to the United States. The only other news brought by this arrival was that relating to business operations, which, upon the whole, may be deemed of a satisfactory character. Independent of the gold dust brought to NewYork by the Empire City, it is reported that between two and three millions of dollars more were on their way to the United States. Business generally was in a flourishing condition, and there appeared to be no diminution in the amount of emigration. We see it mentioned in the papers that the ship Carthagena had arrived out from Liverpool, having on board an extensive iron custom-house, ordered sometime since by the United States Government. We should add that the news from the mining districts report that a great many murders continue to be perpetrated, and that in consequence many of the foreigners had left. Havana advices state that the island was visited by severe hurricane on the 22d of August, which did a great deal of damage to the shipping. The cholera had, it is reported, broken out afresh at Lagua la Granda, and was carrying off a great number of the negroes. There is scarcely any news from Canada We learn from Toronto, under date of the 3d inst., that the Municipal Council of the county, a body representing over 100,000 people, had adopted a resolution, calling a convention to frame a new Provincial Constitution. They recommend all other municipal bodies to take up the question. The commercial news from the States is scarcely of so favourable a character as that last received. In the NewYork Stock Market there was a sort of a panic, and the quotations for nearly all descriptions of stock were declining. The continued receipt of specie from the mines of California caused an abundant supply of money, and, therefore, in some measure checked the downward tendency of prices. In foreign Exchange there was only a moderate business done for remittance by the Atlantic; but there was no change on the quotations on London, the figures being 1104 to 110 i. The intelligence received from Liverpool by the Hibernia, reporting a rise in the price of cotton here, coupled with the reported damage to the growing crop, received by the last steamer, caused the New-York holders to be very firm in their demands as regards price, but the amount of business doing was not large, although to a moderate extent. Prices were a shade higher; but from all we can gather from the papers now before us, the damage sustained by the growing crop, through the hurricane, has, as usual, been very much over-stated. The flour market continued dull, and the quotations had a tendency to decline. There was little doing in Indian corn for export. The following additional American markets, Sm., were received by the usual telegraph :
