JlLn obliging friend has favored u$ with the following letter, dated LIVERPOOL, MAY 80. Cotton continues fully as low in price as it has been at any period since its depression; the average price of 3800 bags Uplands sold last week at 12 i-2d, and 780 bales New-Orleans rather below 13d; be sides which 320 bales New-Orleans were sold by auction at 11 l-2d, a 12 1-2<1, and 580 bales ordinary Surats at tho low price of 5 3 4d a Od, duty pAid,- Sea lslauds are dull of sale ijt former prices. There has been a regular and ra ther extensive demand for Cotton, principally from the spinners, but partly from simulators and ex|H>rters to the Continent of Europe; such has, however, been the great ac cummulatibn (if the stock, aud the scarcity of money, occasioned by the enormous and precedented losses in every branch of trade, that it has unavoidably occurred, that Cotton has fallen to a price which has given the buyers confidence to purchase on an extensive scale. Should the im port* materially diminish, we may have some moderate advance of price, and this, we think it probable, will take place; but with tlie exception of the spinning business, the trade in Cottou Good* is very mtich de pressed ; and on the subject of prices yve may fartlier remark, that there now seems less surprize that Cotton should be at its present price, than that it should ever have attained tho extravagant prices of last year. l\ice iu bond lias fallen to 55a a 23s 6d per cwt.

The following interesting letter from Spain has just reached us, and contains some iii|K>rtaut information.

It i9 with pleasure we are enabled to state, upon the authority of pri vate letters from Liverpool, that trade is once more reviving in that great commercial town. Cotton is on the advance, though the quantity imported is immense. It is suppos ed that our East India supjMy will ruin the American market, although the raw material is not so good as that of the United States : it is how ever, sufficiently good for the prices which the manufactured at title now fetch.

PHILADELPHIA, JULY 7. Forty shares of United Slates Hank Stock were sold ou Tuesday toreiloou fit 90. We understand that the Board of Directors of the liank of the Uuited States have determined not to declare any dividend for the first six mouths of the present year. Iu consequence of the losses which they apprehend, or have actually sustained, from the unexampled failures among their debtors, chiefly in a neighboring city, they have deemed If expedient to reserve in the vaults of the hank the amount of profits, which otherwise would have enabled them to an nounce a pretty good dividend. It is understood that a meeting of the Stockholders of the institution will lie culled at an early period, in or der to exhibit to them a statement of Its affairs. The judicious and rigid measures pursued in the administra tion of the hank, will, we believe, restore it to the national confidence in a short time, and render its stock valuable to the holders. Specie.?Another considerable re inforcement of S|>ecie has been re ceived at the Rank of the United States, within a day or two, from the westeru country.
