LATER FROM ENGLAND.
sNEw-YOEE. April IS.

We received last night Dy tne Pachet sniP Sheridan, Capt. Russell London papers of the 17th, and Liverpool Of the 18th March.
 We lament to observe in these papers no intelligence of a cheering character in rela- tion to the state of the Money or Cotton Market.
 In the House of Commons, vote had been taken on the measure of the ministers to abolish Church rates in England, and they received the support of a lean majority of 2S. In Parliamentary practice, such majority used formerly to be considered tantamount to defeat, and it is now so spoken of by the Conservative papers; more particularly as the Roman Catholic members who voted with the Ministers, are said to number 40. Ru- mours were rife, in consequence, ot an ap- preaching dissolution of Parliament.
 In France, run appears to be making on the Savings Banks. This however probably proceeds more from political causes than commercial, still the monetary system there | is evidently feeling the effects ot the unusual state of things in England.
 The Queens forces in the North of Spain, including the British Legion under General Evans, have made forward movement, but at the date ofthc last accounts with no decld- ed success.
 LONDON, March 16.
 Letters received this morning from Liver | there to be more depressed at the present mo- ment than it has been at any period for very long time past. The want of money was extremely great, which circumstances had led to continuance ot forced sales ot the article, and prices were in consequence going gradually lower. One or two rather extensive failures have occurred, but the chiet sufferers from the state of the market will of course be the shippers in America, most of whom may be supposed to have cal culated upon obtaining the high rates which were given last year, and to have been regu- lated by them in their purchases of the new crop from the growers in the Southern dis tricts. Hitherto the advices from New York have announced no stoppages of importance among them but it appears to us to be bare- ly possible that they should be able much longer to struggle with the difficulties to which they are exposed on both sides of the Atlantic, and the only relief that can be giv- en them seems to be in the surrender by the United States Banks of the large amount of gold which they have caused to be with drawn from the Bank of England, for Gov ernment and other purposes. The money Market here is tranquil, but, as we stated yes- terday, accommodation is not to be procur- I ed of the discount houses upon any thing like liberal scale otherwise than at the full rate of interest.
 | NEw-O ORLEANS, April 9. Great Fire in NeU- OrlednS.-Yesterday, there was almost a ceaseless alarm of tire.- The bells were rung some ten or twelve diff ferent times, and we are told that two or three houses were on fire, in different parts of the city, before 12 o'clock. About o. clock the bells sounded again. The cry of fire was heard through the streets when it was discovered that grocery on the corner ofthe Railroad leading to the Lake, and Cas- acalvo street, was on fire. From this house the flames spread with astonishing rapidity through the whole square, leaving only some half dozen tenements on the north side: the fire then crossed Marigny street and burnt all but five buildings on the next square eX" tending to Vaudeville street.
 This fire took effect from a spark from the locomotive engine while running on the Rail Road. Nearly two squares were on fire, and lO7 houses were consumed About l27 fam lilies were left destitute of shelter, &c. &c.,, and they were principally poor people.
 On this occasion, as ill almost every other where large fires occur. good deal of plum dering and fighting was going on. Some three or four persons were arrested in the act of stealing, and carried off to the Calaboose. One of the fremen received a wound by a blow from sword, made by some one in the crowd who was not discovered.
 A Bne.-Yesterday MT. J. R. Gardener, of East Haddam, Conn, appeared at the police office, and stated that he had lost $l20, for the recovery of which he would give one half. He arrived in this city on Wednesday, and took up his lodging at Holt's hotel, where he was put in the same room with man who gave his name as Patrick Fiery. On rctir- ing to bed, he laid his clothes on a chair, and the money was in his pockets. In the mor- ming his room mate had disappeared, and on examining the receptacle of his neither integ- uments the money was found to be gone, and probably to that home, whence no SUCH 1 traveller returns. Sympathy was all that could be afforded him at the office, and he left it sorrowfully, but almost weighed down with that.-N. Y. Courier.

 The Panic.-The great panic makers at Washington are beginning to see the results of their experiment., and honest, industrious and deluded working men are beginning to feel it. From every quarter of the country we hear the cry, "Help me, Cassius, or sink"-while at the same time the voice from the ballot boxes cries, 'glory! glory"-Pre- judice and Party are stronger than Truth and Justice and Principle and Bread-and the "dear people," like lambs led to the slaughter, still
 Lick the hand just raised to shed their blood"
 Our city presented melancholy sight this morning-the effect of the government ex- pertinent upon the national currency the | gold humbug of salaried politicians. and the
