AMEBIC A.N NEWS

(EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.)
LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING.
By the arrival of the packet-ship Columbus, Captain
Cobb, from New 1 ork, to-day, we have papers from that
city to the 19th ult., inclusive. They are remarkably
barren of news. The sitting of the Recorder at Phila-
delphia, to consider the evidence in the matter of Ni-
cholas Biddle, Esq., and others, the former President and
late officers of the Bank, had resulted in his deciding
that there was suffiaient evidence to cause him to re-
quire the parties to be bound in two sureties each, to
answer the charge at the-ensuing General Sessions. This
result had caused a considerable sensation.

In the Senate, the repeal of the Banki-upt-law of last
session was under consideration, and had only been ad-
journed upon a point of form. It was said now that
the repeal would undoubtedly be carried by a consider-
able majority of that body.
In Cincinnati a very serious riot had occurred, in con-
sequence of the excitement caused by the stoppage of a
fraudulent bank. The mob broke into the closed pre-
mises, destroyed the furniture, books, and papers, and
plundered it also of some money. They were attacked
by the city guard, and driven away, lint returned and
plundered several other banks and exchange offices which,
they supposed, participated in'the fraud.
The business report at New York is cheerful ; there
was a lively demand for cotton, for export, at steady
prices, but without advance.. Very few bills were drawn
for this packet, the rate being, however, the same as at
the last advices, 108 c. 1081 c. for bills on London. There
is no news by this arrival from Canada, nor had any
tidings of the Halifax and Boston packet, which sailed
hence on the-4th of January, reached Boston when the ac-
counts left.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. (1.--prices of Artie-
rican descriptions took a start at an Ad. to id. per lb. during
Saturday and Monday last, and a considerable business was
transacted at that advance. On Tuesday, however, the excite-
ment ceased, and the market has been quiet since ; and as hol-
ders have supplied the demand freely, prices have gradually
receded to the quotations of this week, which we now adopt. All
other descriptions have been stationary in price throughout the
week. The public sale of Sea Islands to-day went off very
heavily indeed ; the few sold were on much the same terms as
last sale. There have been taken on speculation 2,600 Ame-
rican and 300 Surat; and for exportation 800 American and
50 Surat. The prices declared by the Committee of Brokers,
for fine cottonslare—Bowed 54d. ; Mobile, 5Ad. ; Orleans, sd.

tent. The business comprises-7 Eastern Counties, 84 ; De-
bentures, 10A; Grand Junction, Half Shares, 92i ; London
