Two DAYS later from England.
By the Ship Oconee Wilson AT Philadelphia, we
have received dates from Liverpool of the 18Th ult.
and London of the l2ih.
The only political that we notice, is sort of
triumph by the radicals in parliament. Mr.. Thomas
Duncombe broug ht in bill TO repeal the law requir-
ing the payment of all before the house keepers
should vote this warmly opposed by Mr.. Spring
Rice, bat the reading obtained after some sharp
controversy, by vote of As 10 81 The tory papers
find occasion in the vote 10 rejoice over their oppo-
nent in power.
The Money Market has slightly improved, and con-
idcnce is beginning be restored but very little.
The Cotton Market-no change since our last ac-
counts market remained in the same dull state
We subIon some observations by the editor of the
Liverpool Albion;
Another week of anxiety gloom and doubt with
regard TO the money market, has passed over without
any distinguished feature, calculated TO increase dis
uess and alarm and although it does not appear
that any very decisive amendment can be established
still there are some symptoms Of an improved feeling
which cannot fail 10 have an effect upon the mind
and may IN some degree, help to restore confidence
which has been 50 much shaken
The London papers have been very busy upon this
important question. In the opinion of many, il would
have been better had they been little more guarded
We think however, il hardly TO be expected that
upon topic OF such great interest and of such con-
conversation, there should be much reserve on
the part OF the press. That there should be deren-
ces OF opinion upon the causes Of the evil as well as
the remedies TO be applied, IS perfectly natural nor is
surprising, tsa, the views taken, should be nged by
some party personal feeling, united to the taste or
inclination of different individuals
The restoration OF confidence is the first step to-
wards Improvement. II therefore behooves every
one who has any thing in his power, TO aid as much
as possible In re-esab, lshing this great object A
mutual spirit of accommodation will do much no
doubt-5ut, TO arrest much evil il is believed to be abb
solutey necessary, that an unusual degree of leny
should be shown to parties who are Unexpectedly
pressed yet evidently possess aPple means to cover
all their engagements, If time 5 afforded them TO fall

We scarcely know what TO say Of this postpone
ment Ii corners us completely as regards the dinner
10 General Gaines. In expressing our regard for the
high military talent (uo matter for suceess,) do
not mean to permit this highly respectable commit
tee 10 on, do us If General Scott gets public dinner
so shall General Gaines We haves said IL, and il shall
be done. Wnhout dctracting from the great military
favorite Of the committee, may be permitted to
think as highly Of our favorite General Gains Ii is
dsagreabe thing for us TO give up public dinner
but az the committee have determined not 10 act for
the present, we hereby countermand our former adj

Washington with pretty widow. General Games,
my dear old boy, have postponed your public dinner,
I'LL more propitious time Some of our stock opera

things in the ktcaen =. 5. The friends of Oceola
will also very likely postpone the honor to their chief
so it is famine and fasting for month or two.

the cause of producing the present crisis throughout
the country i the creation Of immense land monopo-
lies by the friends relatives and employees Of govern

public lands.
In this city we have land monopoly called the
American Land Company, which was one Of the first

disastrous to the Of the whole country. The
leading stockholders of the company are the son Of
the President Of the United States-the brother Of
the Attorney General and their numerous friends,
cousins, and connections in New York, Albany, and
Washington.
The organisation of this company the signal for
