NEWS FROM ENGLAND.
Ii DAYS Later.

By the Acadia at Boston, news has been re-
ceived to the 4th inst. The London correspond
ent of the Atlas, writing on the evening of the
Sd, gave the following summary:
The news which you will receive by the AGA
dia can all be compressed into few lines. The
only event of any Importance that has occurred
since the steamer Washington left, is the meas
ure recommended by the Government for the
relief Of the mercantile classes Ministers held
meeting on the 25th ult., and then proposed 10
the Bank to extend their discounts to the amount
oftwo millions sterling, and to charge 8 per cent.
interest. The Bank issued notice on the same
day, offering to make the advances as recommend
ed by the Government.
The immediate effect of this measure was
highly beneficial stocks Of all kinds advanced,
and general confidence was, for the moment, re-
stored. When however, the measure was more
calmly examined, reaction took place-stocks
went down-money became scarce-fallures
were constantly announced, and general gloom
prevailed. During the latter part of last week,
and upto the present moment, mercantile affairs
have remained in precisely the same deporable
condition as they were two, or four, or six, weeks
ago. When you examine all the accounts, it will
be discovered that trade is still very dul-cotton
is declining the funds are low--money is scarce
discounts are denied merchants, and traders,
and manufactures are compelled to suspend pay
ment-gold IN the Bank still decreases, notwith-
standing the receipt Of large quantities from a
broad, and the pressure and the panic are caus-
ing general alarm.
In the midst of this pressure, railway works
are being suspended, and the mills in Manches
Ter and other towns are working short time
The consequence is their operatives and laborer:
are being discharged in companies OF thousands
with long winter before them, while the lrist
poor are coming over to England by the ten thou
sand.
This peculiar state of fairs has urged the ne
cessity of Immediately calling Parliament togeth
er, and it will assemble on the 18th inst.
The political news Of the day is quite unm
por,anl, with a single exception.
The affairs of Switzerland occupy much atten
ton in England, France and Austria. 1t is be
lleved that bloodshed will take place in Switzer
land within very short period. 1t is supposed
that France and Austria will interfere. Franc,
has at this moment 1000 men on the frontiers
of Switzerland; and Austria has already sen
troops in the same direction. 1t is stated thu
every canton is covered with soldiers All bus
iness is at an end, as every body is exclusvel,
occupied with preparations for war. The Am
bassadors of the great Powers will leave Switzer
land The very moment hostlilies commence.
