ofColonel Preston's centenary subscription
to the Methodist cause, which is going the
rounds of the Northern papers, and which
NE published in Tuesdays Courier, con-
lalus the following:
''Il is untrue in every particular, except
tha; on thai occasion Col. P. did present
h,msell among the contributors. His sub
scription was made in silence. except only
his stating to The secretary, Or snme geu-
tleman by, the sum he wished set down
to his name; and Which was NOT S1000.-
We suppose the story has been fabricated
upon The report of the proceedings of the
meeting in this paper; and which, as far as
it concerned Col. Preston, was in the fol-
lowing words;
"I' was gratifying 10 our feelings to see
the Hon. W. G.. Preston, of the U. States
Senate, among the first who came to the
altar-place. in acknowledgements. (as we
were told,) ofhis Indebtedness to Menth-
odism in the person of Mrs. Russell, of
blessed memory, whowa not more 'llstin-
guished for being the ssler of Patrick
Henry, than for her own extraordinary
piety and paris. Bishop Ashury used TO
call her "the elect lady," (from ST. John.)
and she ii appears was Col. Preston's
grandmother, and with her hepassed his
childhood"

New YORK, Aug. 3, P. NJ.
Tine steamer Liverpool arrived at an
early hour this morning with news from
England to August the LIST.
The Sultan of Turkey died early in
July. Of delireum ,remens. and was sue
ceeded by his sun. About The same time
the Pacha Of Egyp, gained very signal
victory over the Turkish troops in Syria.
aud after the death of the Sultan, the
commander otlhe Turkish feet pul il un-
der The protection of Ali Pacha, TO keep it
out Of mad hands. So the old Pacha of

dreams Of his ambition.

demned only Que Of The rioters on trial be-
fore them, to death, and that one the King
pardoned.
But keep you too long from The O. all
absorbing topic" TO your readers of cotton,
and that am happy to say, is clearly
he'ter, though 90 the last days it dropped
again. The effect has been to give spirit
to the market here, with an advance of
/ 3c.
Money affairs in England continued de-
pressed, and the more so. in consequence
Of bad weather, which had walked up all
the horrors OF short crop before The ina
einaIion of the EngIiShnen. The wea-
ther vas quite lempesluous during the lat
ter half of July, but that is common, aud
after all, Provideace takes care to give
England eood crop. Flour has heen
rendered very brisk here by the news, and
sold largely for England and elsewhere at
25c. advance on Saturdays prices.
Private letters say,that The Bank of Eng
land had succeeded in making loan at
Paris of from two to four millions sterling.
One Of my friends has letter from the
Governor Of the Bank, stating this fact.
American stock will not sell in England at
present. and it is quite as we'll for US, per-
haps, that they should not. for we are
plunging into deb, rather heedlessly.
Stocks al our Brokers Board, this morn
ing, fell under the influence of the English
news, except the Bank Of The United
States, which was quite in demand, and
rose to 1864 100. Money will doubtless
be scarce in England and here for while
yet, though il the weather should Turn, as
usually il does, think all will 80 easy
once more.
Sir Isaac Coffin is dead, aud so is Lady
Hester Stanhope.
The Liverpoolis full ofpassensers(lI3),
all she has accommodations for. Passen-
gers tell ME that the orders for goods for
this market are now small in England,
though considerable quantities are likely
TO come on manufacturers account.
