MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY..--The
sales this day are 3,000 bags to the trade, without va-
riation in prices.

The George Washington, New York packet ship, o'
the 7th, has arrived—of course an old date.
Accounts from Pernambuco of the middle of August,
state that great unanimity is said to prevail at San
Luiz and Maranham, among all classes, and a general
determination, in case of extremity, to hazard all in
defence of life and property. Such is the alarm, how-
ever, even there, that citizens are not permitted to leave,
and foreigners have been called to volunteer in the
service of the country, which the Portuguese have done
to the number of 700, and additional troops are being
sent to the scene of disorder, from the neighbouring
provinces.

The capital, San Luiz de Maranham, being situated
upon an island, and having a large number of troops
for its defence, is thought to be safe, even in case of
an attack.

We have another arrival this morning, from the
United States, the packet-ship Wellington; which left
New York on the 7th. She brings 80,000 sovereigns,
the same amount as received by the Liverpool steamer.
This is good news for the Bank of England, as we have
no doubt they will find their way there, with a great
many more coming from various other quarters, and we
may expect that in the course of a few months,
the coffers of the Bank will be amply supplied, so as to
allay all apprehensions in regard to its stability in specie
payments.

This morning the state and difficulties in which the
commercial affairs of the United States are involved,
are the general topic of conversation in the city.
We have very few arrivals this morning, and the
ship letters are of old dates.
