ARRIVAL or THE LIVERPOOL

racket tJ0ip lNDHPENDENCEs anu yGStETudy
of the Steamer LIvERPooL, we have files of
London papers to the 18th, and Of Liverpool
to the 18th of June. The intelligence,
which has been looked for with more than
usual anxiety by the mercantile community,
is more favorable than was anticipated. The
latest papers represent as money continuing
scarce. Little was doing in American Se-
curities, and that at declining prices. The
| exchanges was unfavorable, and the rate of
interest had advanced to per cent. The
Bank of England continued the sale of its
securities, and its returns exhibited further
reduction of bullion. On the other hand,
the Cotton Market had improved, and an
advance Of Id to id had taken place up to
the 18th June, our latest dates. The du-
ty on Corn had receded, and prices declined.
In the manufacturing districts better fee
ling generally was evinced, arising from the
prospect of removed demand by reason of
the absence of any political difficulties in
Europe.
The London Times, of the 9Th of June, has
the following notice of the United States
Bank That paper, it should be remembe-
red, has been somewhat habitual in its at
tacks upon the institution.
SIT is understood in town that Mr.. Jau-
don is about to quit this country and the
agency established here for the u. States is
about to be given up From the first may
be pronounced failure, and though it ac-
quired specious appearance ofpermanence
while issues were large and paper abundant
it was foreseen by many that the first change
in the market would be very likely to seal
| its fate. What the Bunk of England refused
to do in 1887 for houses of the highest Gre
dit in London they were not likely to do for
an individual who could acquire no credit
in his own person, and whose bills were LA
BILE to the fatal objection of being drawn by
principal upon agent, which is applied alike
under the strict commercial rule, to the
| highest and the lowest names. Islat of Mr..
Jaudon added nothing to the security of the
instrument, while the draughts heretofore
of the Bank of the United States upon indi-
viduaf merchants always acquired thereby
some increase of credit and sometimes the
acceptor was quite as good as the drawer
Mr.. Jaudon has therefore been disappointed
| in great measures of these facilities on
which he had reckoned and in providing for
his obligation as they became due must
have had to pay price for it calculated to
diminish greatly the profit of his general
account. At the very outset no man could
be in more false position than he was. In
the Bank parlor he was looked at with dis
trust, his account refused and thsmerchants
universally felt angry and .>insulted at his
presuming to interfereri6 transactions which
belonged to their peculiar province. A new
agency-ceFtainly not of American origin
must now be appointed, and matters revert
to their old channel. The experiment is not
to be considered, however, as wholly thrown
away; it will form very useful lesson to all
parties"

The two Houses of Parliament assembled
on the 9th of May, and the House of Com
mons proceeded to elect a Speaker. Mr.
Shaw Lefever was nominated as the Wing
candidate, and Mr., Goulburn as the Tory

to know the result. as it would be conside-
red an indication of the strength of minis N
