Nine days later from England.

The packet ship Patrick Henry"
Capt. Delano, arrived yesterday from
Liverpool. We have received by her
London papers to the 25th, and LIVER
pool to the 9th December, but owing to
some accident, andto our great regret, our
private correspondence from Europe by
this conveyance has not yet been receiv-
cd by us. We are confined therefore to
the journals before us, for information as
to the events which have transpired since
our last accounts.
Rarely, however, have VIC received
English newspapers covering period OF
SO many days, SO very destitute of intclli-
gcncc here. political affairs in England
wear the same monotonous aspect which
it has for some time past. In France,
the Chamber of Deputies has been opened
by "A speech from the King. 1t is only
remarkable for its allusion to the good
understanding existing between England
and France, on the Turkish, Egyptian,
and Spanish questions. The prosccu-
tons for conspiracies against the govern
mcnt continue, and one of the conspra-
tors, the Marquis dc Crony Chanel, has
made his escape. Some Importance is
attached to the presence at Rome, of the
Duke of Bordeaux, and the French lcgi-
timatisls arc said to be hurrying there in
crowds to sec him, which of course, is
viewed with an evil eye by the govern
mcnt of Louis Philippe. a misundcr-
standing has taken place at port on the
Nautilus, between the commanders of
an English and French ship Of war, Of
which the Paris papers would make a
national affair, but which, no doubt, will
be quietly settled by the two governments.
From the possessions of France, on the
coast of Africa, the accounts are still cal
culatcd to give great uncasincss to the
government. The French seem almost
entirely confined to their military station.
In Spain, no military movement be-
tween the contending parties has taken
place, but the position of affairs there
seems growing gradually more suspicious
to the restoration of tranquility through
ont that klngdom.
The London money market presents
no new feature. Severely cramped it
still is, but that we knew 1t was before.
Certain 1t is, however, its embarrasSmcnts
have not increased, but in one respect di-
minishcd. There had been no export of
specie or bullion to the continent during
the week preceding our advices. This,
1t is true, is partly to be attributed to the
wise policy of the Bank of England, in
furnishing bills through the Nlcssrs. Bar
ings, and that they were able to do this
is at least SO far favorable symptom
Whether they will be able to continue to
keep down in this way the rates of cx-
change, when the Baltic ports open with
their avowed short crop of grain, appears
to us very doubtful indeed as the season
advanoos. and tho deficiency in their crop
becomes more severely felt, it is not UNI
likely the supplies they will receive from
tins country, will in addition to our full
crop of cotton, being then at market,
create heavy demand on them for spc-
Gle to ship to the United States. The
grain averages remain the same.
The Liverpool cotton market, under
all circumstances, maintains itself better
than could be expected, and at the last
accounts from llavrc, even slight adj
vance in prices had taken place.
The steamer British Queen arrived at
Gravcscnd on the 18th of December,
having encountered shong head winds
and a violent gale, in which her decks
were swept. She will not leave England
again before the lst of March. The
Great Western is to sail on the Goth OF
February. The effect IN England Of the
accounts taken out by the British Queen
is not yet known.-N. Y. CoW.
