New York, April 18.—A despatch was published in this city on Saturday, by the Commercial and Evening Post, purporting to come from Boston, announcing that private letters had been received by the America, stating that there had been an advance instead of a decline of 6d per bbl. in flour, at Liverpool, accompanied by the statement that Charles Kean had fallen dead on the stage, and that Marshal Radetzky had died suddenly. As the telegraphic agent who produced this news also furnishes telegraphic news to the evening papers of your city, it may be well to inform you that there is not a word of truth in either of the statements, being entire fabrications.
