FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Nom our Liverpool Correspondent.


From our Liverpool Correspondent.
Since my last we have had two packets from
New York--the Quebec at Portsmouth on Satur-
day, and the George Washington at Liverpool on
Monday. Thus, the Quebec, though she sailed
two days later, was in two days before the other.
The George Washington arrived yesterday in 10
days.
The intelligence from the United States as to
the awful state of your panc-struck money mar
ket has alarmed us here, but has little effect as
yet, upon the funds or prices. We trust you
will be able to rub over this second crisis as spe-
Gle will be sent from this country in large guam
titles. }a
OConnell attended in his place to be reprimand-
ed by the Speaker, for making what vote of the
lower house declared to be 81 a false and scanda-
lous imputation" upon its members. The house
was crowded. O'Connel came in about A p.
NJ, and swaggeredup to the Speaker, with whom
he conversed short time He then stroled
away, and in his confusion, took seat on the op-
position benches, next Sir E. Sugden. He short
ly after removed to his wonted seat on the Minis
terial benches.
Before 5, Lord Maidstone moved that the pro-
ceeding be commenced. The Speaker asked
whether Mr.. O'Connell were in his place! o.
Connell answered, 81 am here, SIR" TheSpeak-
er desired him to stand up, and then reprimanded
him at some length, with considerable severity,
and with much dignity and impartiality.
An eyewitness declares that O'Connel's de-
meanor, while thus lectured, like a school-boy,
was most pitiable to look at. At first he appeared
to listen-as the Speaker explained the fragrant
nature of his offence, he grew most confused,
changed his posture, twitched his wig, pulled his
neck -kerchief, folded and unfolded his arms, and
betrayed all appearance Of mind extremely i'll
at ease. He then pulled out his eye-glass, pre-
tended not to mind what the Speaker said, and
assumed the appearance of one reading pamph-
. let. 1t is not very likely that, smarting under
the inaicton and disgrace, he really could read al
the moment. @
AT last the Speaker concluded, and O'Connell,
without sitting down, made long, rambling, and
vehement speech, in which he said that he would
move for committee to inquire whether he had
not just grounds for declaring that the Tory mem
bers of election committees were peuured, as he
said! He wound up by declaring that what he
had been reprimanded for saying, he now repeat.
i have repented of nothing-I retract nothing
(Hear.) mean not to use any harsh or offensive
language when can avoid-(oh, oh! from the
opposition) but | re-adopt what before said
I (Cheers.) / admire their attention to subiec
(which introduces the name and sanction of the
Deity. (Hear, hear.) Irepeat what have said
but wish could find terms less offensive in
themselves and equally significant; but as can
not-(hea hear)-I am bound to re-assert wha
have asserted. (Cheers.) By the vote am
convinced Of nothing. (Cheers.)
He did not move the committee then, the form
being to give notice of it, and on the next night
, it was postponed. The issue will be, / dare say,
that new mode Of deciding controverted elections
will be hit upon.
/ This reprimand, entered now on the journals
of the House of Commons, will have very de.
cided effect, think, upon the fortunes Of O'Con.
nell and the existence Of the Ministry. 1t is
clear that they, or part of them-for Lord Mel
bourne declared on Thursday evening in the
House Of Lords, that the less was said about it
the better-identifed themselves with the de-
fence Of O'Connell. They were beaten on that
defence-and this seems likely to be followed
by other defeats. AS for O'Connell, how can
he, branded by Parliament as the utterer Of
"false and scandalous'' charges against the Com
mons, hope to become an Irish Judge now. The
ermine should be unspotted.
