The obscrvati n« made by the eail of Li verpool on Frill i v evening in the house of lards, with regard to .the loan hill, was in substance, that he hoped no fui liier loan would be lequired during the continuance of peace, with the exception of about 15,000,000, which would be wanted tu male* good th-paynicnt* next year to the bank of England, in pursuance of the wish to that eftVct expressed by their loidships and the other house.

In the conservato ry was stationed a numerous and well <c lected band of first rate performers,ably led by Mr. Payne. Dancing commenced w ith a country dance to the tune of “gang no ino-e to yon town,” which was followed by “Rob R iy.” Alter this the juver.il^ party commenced Quadrills. Refresh ments were provided for them in a tempo rary room, the roof of winch resembled a (urge temple in the garden: access t« it was made through a door or window, which reaches to the floor of the centre .room.— They danced in the dining room adjoining the conservatory. The prince invited a numerous evening party at ten o’clock, in addition to the juvenile party, their pa rents and relatives. Ha.'vi'ucA, June 11. Our correspondent in London has com mnnicated to us the following mlxi-esling same time it ought to be kept in view, tli it the stock is large—that the trade in Man chester is bad and unprofitable—that fail ures amongst the manufi tures and spin ners are daily taking place—tnat money i- scarce, and confidence much shaken—and hat comparatively low as are our present prices, they are not ulikeiy to he profitablr on the next anil succeeding importations: and ic is also believed that the planters in America, and the Brazils can afford to sup ply this market at prices even under those whi.hare now current.

As soon as the camp j» , >*d, the King according to report, is to vi sit the baths at Helsingburg, and from thence make a tour in his duniinions: it is probable that the distant province.ol Dale* carliit will this summer- fur the first time, b» visited by his majesty.
