The Liverpool European Times of the 18th
instant, states that by the last British Mail
Steamship to Boston upwards of 9l2, 900 of
protested bills for acceptance were return
ed. 1t appears thlt the bills were drawn at
New York Tor COIN speculation for a London
principal, but as the agent had exceeded his
instructions they were dishonored.
Spain and Portugal continues as they were
in state of confusion.
The official notice of the Bank OF England
raising the minimum rate of discount to 81
per cent had revived all those discussions
which in April last were so warmly agitated
respecting the power of that establishment,

exercised.
