To the Editor ofhs Telegraph:
My DEAR sIR:-l see in several leading papers
a statement of the discovery Of this extraordna

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM SHIP
LIVERPOOL.

II will be ueiceived from the extracts
which we give, that Notwithstanding the
news of the suspension of payment by the
Philadelphia and other banks, the condition
of the London money market was decided
" improved, and there was also an i'm
movement in the Liverpool Cotton market.
The loan negotiated in Holland by MIR
Jaudon. was not concluded, but Mr.. Jau-
don continued to pay all bills drawn on him
by the United States.

there has been Il considerable change IN

are some dawuing symoms of the crisis

The exchanges have improved and conse-

consequence of large speculative opera

lad per b. upon the rates current this
day week, in ordinary, up to fair qualities
of both Upland and Orleans. Today there
has also been good demand for splnners;
which has been only sparlngly supplied at
the above advance.
In the corn aud flour market there was
little change.
The two princes Of SAKE Cnburgh Saal-

The election in Boston resulted in the
choice of JONATHAN CHAPMAN for Mayor
by plurality of abou, 1873 votes over Brad
ford Sumner, the Van Buren candidate. -
Some of these returns, however, being
unofficial, will probably be varied little.
when all the returns are official. 1t is
also highly probable that that the whole
Whig ticket for Aldermen has been elec-
ted, though it is not certain.
