Up to that time, the news of the suspension of specie payment by the Bankr, in tbis country was not known in England : though every tlrng in relation to our commercial difficulties, >-co ns to have been known, except the actual suspension of specie payments. In consequence of the disasterous news from this country, the Bank of England had finally determined not to sustain the American Houses. On the fact being made known at Liverpool, that the Bank of England had resolved to withhold its aid from the American Houses, the Chronicle says; "An establishment deeply involved with America?and one of the largest importers of Cotton in this .great commercial mart?immediately suspended payment. Connected as this establish nent is with other firms of more or les3 importance, we cannot view the consequences but with feelings of alarm. AVe arc now, it is to bo feared, only coining at the "beginning of the end." The laic hour at which our slips came k> Viand, forbids our giving the accounts at full length. In another column will be found the proceedings, at the celebration of our National Anniversary, by our fellow citi zens of Clarendon. We regret to learn that Robert U. Lang, Esq. Senior Editor of the New ""York Gazette, departed this life on the 1 Oth instant, after a severe illness of a week. It will be recollected that our friend Daniels was connected with Mr. Lang in the publication of the Gazette. We arc requested to say that Capt. Kelvin's Company assembled at Spring IIill. Sumter District, on the 1st July, inst, and Mr. Wm. Davis was elected Orator for 'the next Anniversary of American Independence for We extract li e following from the Columbus (Geo.) Sentinel, relative to the suspension of Specie . payments in the State of Alabama. "The legislature has sanctioned the suspension of specie payment for three years, and created five millions of si\ per cent bonds, to be divided equally among the ?>tate Bank and branches, which is one milllf\n l/\ v?i iu cnvii* All the banks are to give one, two and three years to the debtors, provided satisfactory security be given, interest 8 per cent per annum. A mortgage given by a debtor i is to be a judgment. The banks are all au-1 thorised to issue one. two and three dollar bills." Liverpool, June 2. The demand for Cotton received a little check on Monday, in consequence of the gloomy accounts received on that day from America; but, on the whole we Imvn had a good enquiry and steady market throughout the week, which closes at about l-4d. advance on American descriptions, and previous rates lor other kinds. As the year 1829 is now f cquently referred to as the lowest point recorded of the market as regards prices, in comparing the quotations and stock at this period of that year with our present supply and prices, we have only to remark, that the weekly consumption of 1829 was estima-fi ted at 14,'331 bugs, and tli.it ot last year 19,452 bug*; it is needless to observe that the pressure upon prices during the former year was the result of a large supply and relatively small consumption, whilst on the present occasion the existing derangement of money matters is the primary cause of our present low rates; and until this pressure is entirely removed *.e cannot hope to have , any permanent improvement in the market. Speculators have taken 9000 American and 400 Snrat; and exporters 1900 American, 800 Sural, and 100 M adras, (5500 American, 250 Bahia, (500 Fgvptiun, 200 Sural, have been forwarded into the country last month unsold. The sales to-day are about 7000 bags of all kinds. One vessel from Mobile, artd one from Savannah yet to report. The import this week is *18,209 bags, and the sales are 40,200 bags. We arc indebted to the politeness of a mercantile friend ?fo-r the following extract of it letter, dated | 44 Rio De Janeiro, 17th May, 1837. I 44 Since our circular advice of the '29th nit., business has been Inactive, and within a few days advices from Europe and the United States are of a character so alarming as to bring things to a pause wherever confidence is implied. No one is disposed to trust another, if to be avoided. 44 Our exchanges on London has declined to 27 1-2, but the rate is almost nominal, as many of the remitting houses have orders not to take any bills whatever, and all are restricted to a very limited discretion, as in fact no one seems to feel confident of the standing or safety of houses j on whom they may have drawn; some houses have refused to honor bills drawn against unrestricted credits granted bv their agents in the (Jniied States, in violation of positive honor, moral and mercantile; the want of confidence in exchange business covers almost the whole surface of transactions. 44 Metals on the other hand are sought after. Spanish dollars are selling at 2 each; Spanish doubloons 2S a 29. Portuguese 0,400 pieces a 810, and other coin in proportion; and heavy remittances arc being made in this way. 44 Flour.?Stock added to by almost lailv arrivals, and may now be estimated at little short of 10,000 barrels. Sales are only by re ail. Nominal prices of Baltimore IS a 19, but it would hardly be prudent to refuse 10 for a quantity if offered? the quality is generally objected to. Richmond is more in favor, but only goes oil* by retail at 25 a 39, and for pareels of 50 to a 100 barrels a reduction of 1 or 2 would lie submitted to. Prospects for this article ere very unfavorable. "Coffee?Supply 5,000 haos, and little expected for some weeks. New crop is late, but will he good in quality.

Mr. Editor?T have gazed over all ll c | papers that are of any note, and can find nothing but matter concerning the Banks, specie, failures, ?$lc. &c. Will you be| kind enough to insert a lew extracts that I have made, together with my remarks. Head the following extract. "The bullion business," says the New York Express of the 21st nit " is increased in Wall street, ami every day some 1 O 11/ t \ fl 1 O C? ^'1 ~ ^ ~ ..v.. i mi. tf|H711en. win: hi me |irineipal inducements to enter into this business is the profit made by the continued depreciation of irredeemable bank paper." On the same day, city bank bills were at 111-2 to 12 per cent, discount, (the American half dollar at par,) II. 8. Hank bills | 13 a 14,. (what an admirable currency for the people of the United States?) New Kngland 13a 15, Southern 15 a 25. "It is ti e general opinion," says the Express, " that this depreciation will proceed. *One per . cent, per day has been rea'ised on Wge sums. No one can calcinate on the future depreciation, which will entirely depend on the future conduct of the banks." ** 11 is fuither said that many of the hanks, after stopping specie payments, have sold all or nearly all their specie I funds at a large premium, leaving their hills afloat in the community with scarcely ten cents in the dollar to redeem them. This state of things is alarming; and it is time the people were opening their eyes to it, and taking some active steps to arrest this evil. We hope our next Legislature will declare every bank in the State insolvent which does not recommence to redeem its notes in specie at a very short date from that time. If banks have not the funds, under all circum. stances< to redeem their b'lls in specie, it is a gross imposition upon the community to issue them An individual who would do so would he put down as a swindling rogue; and we know not \Vhy a corporation doing the same thing should not lie subject to the same imputation." If I understand nr.y thing about Banks, I would say, that they are limited to ninety days* for suspension of specie payment. I may be wrong ; if so, correct me?and give me all the information you can respecting this important matter. 1 make these remarks from the circum stanco of several persons, who daily stand in need of small chunghaving applied for amounts of 83 and $10 in change (25, 50, &,c.) at several Banking Houses, and could not be supplied with any smaller than Hs or 2's. Another matter respecting change, is,' that several gentlemen of this place, who : were hard run for small change, were compelled to pay a premium to a merchant of this town, of from 8 to 10 per cent. I heard a gentleman (from Mobile, Ala.) a few days ago, say, that while conducting business in Mobile, lit: was forced frequently to leave his oflicc, in search of change, and that he 4* had to pay from 18 to 20 per cent premium on specie, for 8100." Is this not oppicssion in the ex u<-iiie. * tnue tlic iDiunving paragraph from the Tuscaloosa Intelligencer, which, I think, will greatly benefit that place. "The hill authorising the Ranks to issue small notes, has become a law, and tlu Bank in this city commenced issuing hills on Saturday. We state the fact to show the great want of change, that in less than half an hour after the Bank was opened, on Saturday morning, the Teller paid out upwards of 8700 in small hills."
