From the ". Y. Commercial 44drcrtissr,
VERY LATE FROM ENGLASD.-The
packe, steam ship Liverpool, Capt. Fay
rer, arrived the 9TH May, after fine pas.
sage Of seventeen days, from Liverpool.
Our dates by the Liverpool are, Lon
don 10 the evening of April 10Th, and Liv
erpool the Goth, both inclusive.
The intelligence by this arrival is of
high interest, and quite remarkable. One
of those sudden turns in The progress of
events has taken place, which sometimes
occur to bale all calculation, and show the
folly Of political prophecy. For months
past our 'idinss from Europe have been
still of gathering clouds on The political
horizon, daily increasing in blackness and
in volume; and wearing an aspect SD
threatening that it seemed almost impossi-
BILE but that they must he attended with
tempest and convulsion. In moment,
as it were, we find them dispersed, aud all
around is sunshine and gladness.
The hostile appearances between En-
gland and our own country have entirely
disappeared--the occasions of jealousy
and pickering between France and Eng
land, aud England and Russia, have been
removed by courteous diplomacy-in the
East the alarming condition of affairs is
succeeded by such change as almost to-
tally removes the possibility of serious
trouble-in France the wisdom and firm
ness of the King have piloted him safely
through the difficulties of bis position, and
the faclious projects of his enemies are
scattered to the winds-the long pending
quarrel betweed Holland and Belgium is
peaceably adjusted-and in word the
whole aspect of European affairs has not
been for years more strongly indicative of
quiet and prosperity than a, the present
moment.

merchants here manifest good deal of
apprehension, which may alarm the Cotton

cotton yesterday aud the day before, having
been bought fur shipping at the declined
price. The oldest dealers and The best in

TO come, sell lO! all that it is worth, Weld
ing sood profit to grower. shipper, and
manufacturer. The cotton exports this
year, from all quarters, have been but
GOTTA. Las, year, during ,Ie same pc
Rod, more than million were exported.
and the year before. during the same Pc
riod, between 100000 and 100000. The
crops unquestionably will be short. and
this alone will keep the article up to a fair
price.
Flour here is declining very much in
price; yesterday II l-2 cents upon the
barrel. In Rochester the article has gone
down; down, down. Superfne sells for
81. and lower than for two years before.
We have too at present the prospect of an
abundant harvest which will be likely 10
keep the price down.
