All o'clock this morning we had the plea
sure Of hearing that the packet steamship
Liverpool, WAS in the lower bay. and about 5
o'clock our faithful news collector was at our
elbow with our bag of papers. Our London
dates are 10 the evening Of September 20,
and Liverpool to the 2lst, with the latest
commercial advices from the various ports OF
England, and the continent. We are also
indebted to Captain Fayryer, and to Messrs.

The Marquis Of Hastings has published
very long communication, fortified by letters,
extracts and other documents, disclosing all
the facts relating TO the calumny upon his

The King and Queen of Belgium left Lon.

The uncertainty that hung over the state
"fthc English harvest, W hen the British Queen
left England, is not entirely removed by the
arrival Of the Liverpool. The weather had
been extensively unfavorable, aud it is not to
be concealed that the tone Of the advices is
adverse to the expectation even OF an average
crop but still there was room for hope. III
Ireland, however, the question was consider
ed settled. The crops there, of grain us wei
rs of potatoes, were unquestionaby far below
the average. The weather had been fatal tc
the potatoes.
Cotton was q shade lower than Mt our for.
mer oGvices, and confidence was felt that it
had not reached its minimum.
