AMERICA.  LIVERPOOL, AUG. 6.  The Royal Mail steamship Canada, Capt. Lang, has arrived with the New York mails of the 26th ult., Boston of the 27th, Halifax of the 29th, and telegraphic advices from the former via the latter port to the evening of the 28th. She has brought 250,000 dols. on freight. The screw steamhip North Britain, hence, arrived at Quebec on the 25th ult. ; the steamship New York, from Bremen, arrived at New York on the 25th; and the Royal mail steamship Europa, hence, was off Boston on the 27th.  The Washington correspondent of the New York Times gives the following heads of a treaty despatched to the United States Government by its Minister in Mexico :  " 1. Right of way across the Northern States between the Rio Grande and ports in the Gulf of California, with guarantees for their protection and safety." " 2. Right of way and valuable privileges of transit secured to the American Company holding the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. " 3. The privilege of erecting and maintaining warehouses at the termini of the several transit routes.  " 4. The right of transporting troops and munitions of war over such routes, and to send troops to protect them, in default of Mexico fulfilling that duty. " 5. Free entry and transit of goods belonging or consigned to American citizens in Arizona through the ports of the Gulf of California and across Sonora.  6. Entire and unquestionable freedom of religious worship throughout the Republic. 7. A clause indicating the willingness of the Mexican Government to accept a modified form of protection at the hands of the United States—in other words to solemnise another treaty in form, and one of alliance, offensive and defensive, but in substance creating a protectorate whenever the United States shall signify her willingness to enter into such engagements." A Washington despatch of the 25th ult. says : Mr. Gould, who came from England in the steam-ship Canada, passed through Washington this morning, en route to Mexico. He is attached to the British Legation in that country and conveys important despatches thither." The St. Louis Democrat gives an account of the burning of a negro and the hanging of two others at Marshall on the 19th of July. The one who was burnt had murdered his master. The Democrat says :—" While the sheriff was conveying him a n tketo prison he was set upon by the crowd and from atnhdat tooffiokcetrh. enToehetwmooboththeern proceededotnootlolef gaol o 'remitted an them had attempted the life of a citizen of this place, and the other had just c outskirts outrage upon a young white girl. After the mob got the negroes together they proceeded to the of the town, and selecting a proper place, te negro who killed Hinton to a stake, got a quantity of dry wood, piled it around him, and set it on fire. Then commenced a scene which, for sickening horrors, has never been witnessed before in this or perhaps other place. The negro was stripped his waist, toand barefooted. He looked the picture any of despair; but there was no sympathy felt for him at the moment. Presently the fire began to surge up in flames around him, and its effects were soon made visible in the futile attempts of the poor wretch to move his feet. As the flames gathered about his limbs and body he commenced the most frantic shrieks and appeals for mercy—for death— for water! He seized his chains ; they were hot, and burnt the flesh off his hands. He would drop them, and catch at them again and again. Then he would repeat his cries, but all to no purpose. In a few moments he was a charred mass, bones and flesh alike burnt into a powder. Many, very many of the spectators who did not realize the full horrors of the scene until it was too late to change it, retired disgusted and sick at the sight. May Marshall never witness such another spectacle. If the horrors of the day had ended here it would have been well, bat the other negroes .were taken and hung—justly, perhaps, but in violation of law and good order. They exhibited no remorse. One simply remarked, that he hoped before they hur g him they would let see the other boy burnt." It is stated in 'New York that a memorial requesting Mr. Sickles to resign his seat in Congress, had received the signature of 1,400 of his constituents, and that in the Eighth Ward a public meeting was to be held to make the request openly.
