THE UNITED STATES.  ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA.  LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.  The royal mail steamship Arabia, Commander Judkins, with advices from New York to the 7th inst., arrived in the Mersey to-night. In addition to the usual mails from the United States, &c., the Arabia brought 96 passengers, and 210,529 dollars in specie. The Arabia passed the royal mail ship Asia from hence on the morning of the Bth inst. The United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, West, from hence, arrived at New York on the evening of the 3d inst. There is little or no intelligence of importance by this arrival. The Washington correspondent of the New York He ) ald, of the 6th, states that the administration has accepted the resignation of the Hon. R. J. Walker, as commissioner to China, and that his successor will probably be appointed before the close of the week. It is also thought that the mission to France will be filled in a few days. Secretary Davis having returned from the Blue Mountains, the cabinet is again full, and we shall doubtless soon ascertain ether we are to be represented by a hard or a soft shell, or either, at the curt of Napoleon 111. Deaths at New Orleans are over 100 daily. Still, though the pestilence appears to be on the decrease, most probably on account of the decreased number of unacclimated persons in the city, of whom there were only supposed, at last account, to be about 6,000 to 7,000 : at Mobile the fever was increasing ; deaths nearly thirty daily. Two slaves, who suddenly disappeared from Portsmouth , Va., were found secreted on board the British ship Samuel, which was overhauled in Hampton roads. A young marine, who bad deserted from the United States ship Pennsylvania, was also arrested on board the Samuel. The fugitives, together with Captain Morris, of the Samuel, who is believed to have taken no part in aiding the negroes to escape, were taken back to Portsmouth. The captain was committed for examination.  A letter from Boston, dated the 3rd, says : The barque Cuba, Captain Howe, from Palermo, arrived at this port yesterday afternoon, having on board, in irons, John Dudley, one of the crew of the ship France, Captain Teal, charged, with three others, with making a murderous attack upon Captain Teal, on the 26th July last, on board said ship. The France belongs to Philadelphia, and is now on her trip from Pernambuco, bound for New York, with three of her crew in irons, jointly charged with Dudley. During the melee Captain Teal was struck with an axe, and severely wounded. The second mate, James Knights, was shot with a pistol, the hall lodging in his shoulder, from whence it was subsequently extracted, and at last accounts Knights was doing well. Dudley has been committed to gaol for examination. On the 27th August, the United States ship Decatur-fell in with the British ship Cleopatra, 24 days from Liverpool, for Quebec, with four feet of water in her hold. A crew was put on board from the Decatur, and endeavours were made to take the Cleopatra into Sydney ; but on the 28th she was on her beam ends and on fire, and all on board were taken off by the Decatur, which arrived at Nova Scotia.  The brig Maria Aldrich, of and from Bristol for Havannah, is reported ashore on the north-east end of Beaver Tail, near the lighthouse, and has bilged.  Letters have been received at Boston stating that the captain and crew of the brig Rodolph were massacred by the natives of one of the King's Mill Group, in December, 1851, and the vessel destroyed by fire. The Rodolph was owned by Capt. Alfred R. Fisher, now at San Francisco.
