LATER FROM ENGLAND.

LAEER FKOM ENGLAND.
Yesterday arrived the packet ships
WESTMINSTER, Capt. MOORE, from London,
and the NORTH AMERICA, Capt. HoxIE, from
Liverpool, which placed us in possession of
London journals to the 18th, and Liverpool
to the 18th ult.
The extracts we make relate principally
to the state Of the English money market,
and English commerce. We lament that
we can find in them nothing of a satisfacto.
ry character. Even the decline in the val.
ne of cotton in Liverpool, is evidently ow.
ing to the deranged state ofthe money mar
ket in England.
Two motions have been made in the
House of Commons by radical members,
the one to take from the bench of Bishops
the privilege of a seat in the upper House,
and the other to do away with the property
qualification in voters. They were both
lost, but still there were sufficient number
of votes in their favor, to excite serious a.
larm for the permanency of British institu.
tons ;--these two motions carried, the whole
fabric would fall.
The Secretary for Foreign Affairs had
been Intercepted in the Commons on the
subject Of the capture of the British vessel
Vixen by the Russians. In the first in
stance, he replied, that the matter had been
submitted to the law officers of the crown
for their opinion and subsequently he stated
that it would not be proper to make this
opinion known. We do not think from
present appearances that it is probable any
thing serious will ensue, particularly as it is
stated that Lord Durham, the British Am
bassador at Petersburg remained on the
best terms with the court there.
Though our dates from France are not
later than those received yesterday, we take
occasion again to refer to the state of things
in that country. Most prominent in which
appears the danger which still continues to
threaten the life of Louis PHILIPPE. Another
plot to assassinate him, it is said, has been
discovered. lie is almost prisoner in his
palace, and when he stirs out, it is necessa.
ry for his safety, to observe the mos. jeal.
Gus precautions. A garde royale is spoken
of. Another fact, indicative of the state
of moral feeling in Paris, is the astonishing
increase in the number of suicides.
Ii would seem that second expedition
against Constantine is at least DELAYED.
Marshall ClauSel has been removed from
his command on the Coast of Africa,
and that station given to General Darmmont.
Both in France and England the opposi-
ton to the present Ministers, appears very
active. M. THEIRS is said to be intri.
guing to supplant the present president of
the Council. In England dissolution of
parliament is spoken Of and the increasing
strength of the conservative party is evi.
IDENTITY viewed with alarm by their political
opponents.
A general movement Of the British lie.
gion in the north of Spain was about to take
place. twas supposed that being numer.
icaly stronger than the Carlists, besides
having an artillery served by troops from
the regular British army, that Gen. Evans
could not fail to drive the Carlists before
him.
In other respects, we see no important
change in the state Of things either in Spain
or Portugal.
The influenza though apparently dimin.
ishing in England, still continues very prev.
alent in France and Germany.
LONDON, Feb. IL.
Thursday Erening.-There has been, al

say that the symptoms of distrust have Who'll.

gained in the general estimation that the
weekly meeting of the Bank Directors has
passed over without any new measure act

that they are even understood to have g.

This more tranquil feeling in the money.
market seems to be the chief reason that
the English stock.market has displayed
considerable activity throughout the day,
with improvements in some of the QUOTA
tons, but it was attributed to the favorable
character of the letters and accounts from
New York, as to the state of the money.
market and commercial affairs there.
Letters from Alexandra, dated Jan. ID,
have reached Marseillos, the contents of
which announce that the Pacha of Egypt
has entered into commercial treaty with
the United States, whereby the latter are to
enjoy some peculiar privileges in the ports
of Syria, Gambia, and Of Egypt. The silk
trade is said to have attracted the attention
of the Americans, who are anxious TO OBJ

England, France and China, from their own
workmen.
