LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE -1.--LOur market
to-day has been again very inanimate, scarcely 1,000 bales
being purchased by- the trade. Upwards of twenty vessels
have arrived to-day, with heavy consignments, the .-ffect of

The New York papers to the Lfth of May, bring the fol-
lowing account of the President steamer:—
" The most probable statement that has as yet appeared
seeming to throw any light upon the painful matter in sus-
pense, was brought to tlis port same digs ago by a British
barque, the Recovery, from the port of Bristol. Her captaio,
Bowman, is said to have reported that on the :28th of March,
when off the Azores, he saw at a great distance the hull of a
large ship, dismasted, which he took to be a man of war, and
that about the same time he saw fragments of spars, casks, &c.,
floating on the water. This is supposed to be the President.
13y the subjoined note it will be seen that an investigation of
th,s report is to be made to-morrow befixe the British ansul:—
~ British Consulate; May 10.
Gentlemen,—ln consequence of the report that R. Bow-
man, master of the barque Recovery, of London, on the
voyage from Bristol to this port, saw a very large vessel dis-
masted, which from the latitude may have been the steam-
ship Presid, nt, without having made any effort to afford relief
to a vessel so circumstanced, I have deemed it my duty to re-
quire the attendance of the master, officers, and seamen of that
vessel, at this Consulate, to-morrow at noun, to investigate the
statement as published, to which I respectfully invite the gen-
tlemen of the press. JAS. BUCHANAN."

Up to the present hour there is not a feature in either of the
Markets worth notice.
The Tea Market is also inactive, as the speculators are wait-
ing for further arrivals previous to operating.

In the Commercial Markets the chief attention of the
mei-charts is directed to the state and prospects of the Tea
trade, which has been put again into a state of feverish ex-
citement by the news received from China of the recom-
mencement of hostilities with the Chinese. There has not,
however, been so great an amount of actual business done a:
might have been anticipated. In fact, the dealers have
not yet got over the loss they were compelled to incur by the
previous unfavourable intelligence from Canton. Holders are
not di-posed to sell at the present advance which is about 3d.
per lb. The stock on hand is not equal to a year's consump-
tion, and therefore prices may be expected to go higher. The
deliveries for home consumption and exportation for the last
three months have been equal to forty million pounds per
annum.

In the other principal Mercantile Markets there is not much
alteration to notice. The West India. Produce Markets are
flat. Sugars continue to maintain very high prices. It having
been officially intimated to the trade that there is no chance
of an alteration in the Coffee Duties this year, business seems
carried on with less fluctuation than in some other articles.

We are overwhelmed this morning pith advices from the
United States brought by three sailing vessels, and we are sorry
to say that brother Jonathan, from all accounts, is in terribly
hot water. It is to be feared the American trade here will
suffer by the failures and dishonesty of the Banks, which must
drag down many of the merchants on the other side of the
Atlantic.

Business both in stocks and produce, is materially checked
by the protracted debate in the House of Commons.
To-day the Funds look very dull.
Con.,ots for Account firm at 90% No alteration in any of
the Foreign Funds. Noshing whatever doing.
