IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND
SIX DAYS LATER-GREAT RE-
NOTION IN THE BULLION MAR
kETS.
Early this morning we received our let :
ters aud papers from Liverpool by the pack
ct ship George Washington, Capt. Hold

acknowledgements for his civiliy in for
wardinS them TO us, and also for CONNER
cinl intelligence, and the latest Liycrpool
paper. The Geo. Washington left that
port on the 2Glh ult. and brings LIVERPOOL

papers Of the 25th.

The intelligence by this arrival to all parts
"i the country by the express mail of this

The commercial news is interesting: it
appears that cotton has iullcn a trine in l. j.
vcrpool.
The specie continues to arrive in great
| abundance. About 81 ZOO, ,UOu al lens, bv

action III England towards the u. States is
greater than ever known. 1t is believed
mat the trade, government, and institutions
OF EnelaLd depend on the commerce with
the United States. Our extracts on these
points are highly interesting.
The Angio- american Houses:-No,wi,b-
standing The staSnation of almost every
KIND OF business which has existed in the II
States, the debts oGthe suspended American
ilrtns III London have been worked off we'll.
anu we believe we may say that one of
these establishments, whose affairs our CO.
temporary regarded as hopeless and forlorn.
has reduced its liabilities TO about fJ,u.
to nothing, in fact, rs compared with ;,s
position nj the period the firm was compeII-
ed to yield TO the pressure of the timcs.-
The Americans have strained every nerve
To pay of their debts. They have re frain.
ed from entering into new engagements
and sacrificed every thing to the Que grand
point. that of maintaining their credit. |,
discussing these matters i, should never be.
forgotten how completely the two countries
are now identified in interest, and !, * a.
much for the benefit of English trade tb,,
assistance should be rendered to the mcr-
chants Of New York, as to the merchants
of London, Liverpool, or Leeds. II is q
saying in Lancashire that New York is Ii
verpool, and Liverpool is New York.
Erporfation of GOid to the u. Stafes.-
We are truly glad to find that the Bank Of
Eng land has, at length, determined to mike
shipment OF gold to the u. s. This will
not on y be the means Of giving life and
animation in the United States, but VIII
lead 10 extensive orders for our various
manufactures. 1t is evidently the harhin-
ger of more cheerful times. The bank in
tends to send l. ,0OO,0OO; Messrs. Rorl,s-
child, t25O,00O; and various other firms
different amounts, making in the aggregate,
about ec2.OUO,OO0 sterling, we understand.
The whole, we believe, is consigned 10
Messrs. Prime, Ward g. King; but a portion
OF ii, report says, is on account of the Co
vcrnmcnt, to meet bills from Canada. The
effect produced by this operation in the U.
States will be quite astonishing. The re-
sumption Of cash payments has been the
great consideration for long time, but the
difficulty of insuring pcrmancncy to so vital
Il measure. has delayed it. About 2OO, 900
sovcreigns were shipped on board the pack
ct ships Columbus and Sheridan, which
sailed for New York on Sunday week A.
hout 100000 are also, ii is said. shipped on
board the packet ship George Washington,
which is expected To sal! to-day, for the
same port. Mr.. King. who has been in
