LIVERPOOL Corrox MARKEr.-we extract as
follows from the Mercury OF the 26th ult.:
Our cotton market to-day has in some re-
spects almost seemed disposed to resume the up
ward course which since Friday last had appeared
to be enectually interrupted. The demand on the
spot has been quiet. but not so quiet yesterday,
and the sales have been 10 the moderate extent

temerity to 60 upon the probability Of rupture
between this country and the United States; yet

resolution for the impeachment of President John
son having passed the House Of Representatives,
has not escaped the attention Of holders. Be-
sides, the possibility Of a fresh revolution in the
United States, should the impeachment of the

try become, the greater will the effort be on the
part OF the party that has most to lose by defeat,
to pick quarrel with England as means of
uniting sll parties in one common cause. The
difficulties Of the Irish question, as bearing upon
American politics, and the resignation announced
this afternoon of Lord Derby, have also been
cited by alarmists as additional reasons for the
