Arrival of the Liverpool.

The Liverpool, Steam Packet, arrived at
New York on the 9th inst, bringing IN
telligence thirteen days later The dates
from London are to the 18th ult., and from
Liverpool to the 10th. We give below,
the principal items -
The news is decidedly iayorable--much
more so Than was expected to be the case.
The Money market in England, aud
financial affairs in general are, at any rate
no worse, and If any thing, rather better.
The Bank of England has not suspended
Cash payments, and is not Immediately
likely to do 50. 1t does not appear that
British bullion is erdcudting very fast, and
money matters were on the whole easier
than at our last adyices. The news Of the
suspension Of Specie payments by the Bank
of the United States, produced of course a
very great prejudice against that instltu-
ton, and its stock fell TO GIG. 10 a share,
hut We learn by letters that it rallied full
three per cent. upon that rate.
Mr. Iaudon had met all the bills drawn
upon him by the bank and none Of them
nave Dcen lctuTDeu.
The Cotton market, next in interest, is
really upon better foundation tho' we
had a right TO expect ii IT Is not better
than al the latest advlces, it certainly IS no
worse. Indeed, it may on the whole, be
considered shade better. The sales
had been large, and business in the article
brisk. We believe 1t is fair 10 say that
the Cotton market AT the sailing Of the
Liverpool, was better. The market for
bread stufis may be stated as better for
Enghshmen, and less favorable for US than
was expected. Flour has fallen m price,
and the duty risen IN proportion. There
is no ,nducement 10 send bread-stufs TO
England
England was 50 50, in all her affairs
The Chartsis had been making trouble,
but il fell heaviest on themselves. At
Newport, they appeared in Formidable
numbers, and were signally and fuariully
punished.
The state Of things IN Spain remained
abou, the same. Espartcro and Cabrera
had no, measured swords, bat decisive
action was apparently pretty near.
France was tra0qull, bat her monled
men and merchants were embarrassed like
those Of all other commercial countries
Very numerous and heavy bankruptcies
had taken place.
The afairs Of Turkey and Egypt were
still undecided.
The Queen Of England is certainly On.
ing to be married 10 her cousin Albert Of
SAKE Cobourg.

The Charleston papers occasionally
make some remarkable disclosures. We
observe in a late Mercury, that the great
hambug Rail Road paid the agent for ne
gotlatlng loan Of million in Europe,
Gen. Hamilton, Sl0,000 for that service =;
and that Col. Memmingcr had a retaining
fee of $4,000 for his patriotic eXertions," "
before the Kentucky Legislature, we sup
pose.) The States agent, Gov. McDuf-
fe,) for negotiating a loan for rebuilding
Charleston, received $4,000 for that ser
vice. The bonds, both ofthe State and of
the Rail Road, the latter being guaranteed
by the State, were negotiated al discount
of 20 per cent, whereas the people of that
magnificent State appear to be exceedingly
lndignant.-Fdy. Obs.
