EVEN DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND


SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
The ship Tennessee, Capt MArTIsoN, arrived
yesterday FROM Liverpool, whence she sailed on
the evening olthe 18th January last. We have
| to thank Capt M for Liverpool papers up TO the
day of his Departure and for London, Of the pre-
ceding day.
We regret o perceive that serious embarrass-
ments still pcyade the London money market
That House such as that Of Sir JAS. EsDAILE
g. Co. shouldhavc suspended its payments, but
for the short space of two hours, is indeed cal
culatod to excite surprise, for there was not

ancient date, or moro extensive credit. It's con-
nections with the Provincial Banks, in particular,
were on larger seals than those of any other
Banker in the metropolis The surprise is in
creased by tho absence of any perceptible cause
for the suspension, or for the general uneasncss
which is manifested on the London Exchange,
unless it be the impolitic course of the Bank of
England, arising out of the mistaken Legislation
Of Parliament All branches of commerce are
in a prosperous condition-the decline in the
prices Of raw silk is but a solitary exception,
which does not affect the correctness IF the OBJ

and each great source Of national wealth, is i'm u
hourishng state. We will take more fitting
opportunity to advert TO the Causes that we be-.
love, have produced this extraordinary state of
things, which is the more to be regretted, as we
are sure it will lead to renewed action ON the part
of government, and that can only exaggerate the
evil.
The opposition to the prose- 1t Ministry becomes
more violent as the period Tor the meeting of Par
Lament approaches. We will not venture an
opinion as to its prob able effect

, PHILIPPE in refusing to take part in the contest GO

dark hints, thrown out by the French press, OF

his life, serve only to fix the attention of the pub
