From the New York Cour. 4- Em/. 31 Uh nil Later from England. The Liverpool packet ship Independence, ('apt. Nvk, anchored off the bar last night and this morning; we have received our papers by her, which are to the evening of the SBth from London and Liverpool. The letter we give below, from our London correspondent, embraced the principal items of in telligence, but as it is dated cn the tilth, (the reg | ular day of sailing of the Independence was the 25th,) and as we have papers four days later, it is nccessaiy we should make some slight addition to its contents. Thai the bills of the U. S. Dank on Messrs. Hotlin_ uer & Co. had been accepted I y Messrs. Rothschild’s, as is stated by our cor respondent, there cannot boa doubt. The fact wai officially published in the Moniteur. and transmitted to Lyons. Bordeaux and Marseilles, but it appears notwithstanding that on the 26th September. Mr. Jauiion, as Agent of the Dank of the United States, was compelled to make an application to the Dank of England for a loan, which was granted him under the guarantee of Messrs. Daring, Morrison, Denison and Hul'n, to the amount of £lO 1,001) sterling, payable in Consols. The claims which this sum is to meet is entirely independent ot the Paris allair and is stated to be for the payment of post notes and Bills of Exchange. To the latest hour the accounts of the weath er are decidedly unfavorable to the crops of grain, mid a suspension of specie payments by ibe Bank of England of course becomes more pro bable. There is no very important feature in the news from the Continent, unless it be the apprehended csarcity of grain in France. Treasury Notes.

In our remarks on the state and and prospects of : the cotton trade, in onr paper of Saturday last, we | estimated the consumption of the raw material, ! during the first 6 months of the present year, at 18.000 bags per week. The estimate was founded upon the diminished sales in the Liverpool mar kets which had decreased from an average of 22,- 125 bags per week toone of 14,533. From further I inquiry on the subject, however, we arc inclined < to think that the consumption of that period I amounted to about 20,000 bags per week, the dif fetenre being supplied from the stocks of spinners and dealers, which were consequently much redu ced. Estimating the consumption of the whole year at the same rate, we have the following re sults : Total supp'y exports to the 14th Sept. 1,387,597 Consumption. 37 weeks,of 29,000 per w. 740,000 Stock 14lh September, 647.597 This, at the same rate of consumption, would 1 yield a supply for more than 32 weeks; hut at the | rate of last year’s consumption for 27 weeks, and 1 not 29 as stated last week. This correction of onr 1 estimate, which we make for the sake of accuracy, ; can scarcely he said lo affect our argument, which was, that the supply of toe new crop, in addition 1 to the stock on hand, wid render a fall of prices 1 inevitable. 1 Liverpool, Sept. 2S. Cotton —The gloom which wc noticed as hanging 1 over the market last week is not yet dhpersed; consequent I .;’ the effects then produced continue in 1 operation. American descriptions are still heavy of sale, the lower qualities being to he had at a far- 1 ther decline of-$d per lb, while Surnts g.i off rea dily at the full prices of last week, an I Brazils at an advance of-$d to $ 1 per II). No change in Egyptians, hut wiling sellers at the current rates. Speculators have taken 559 bales of American,and 301) Surat. Exporters have taken 2600 hales of American, and 60 Surat. The market is very Hat to day, the sales arc only about 2500 hags of all kinds. The imports this week is 7.419 hags, and the sales are 25,980, viz:—6o Sea Island 21da24d; ' 50 stained do. 9 a 14; 6170 Upland, 7 a 7s; 10820 1 Now Orleans, 6 a 9; 3910 Alabama, ike. 6 a 8$; ' 820 Pernambuco, 9J a I0j; 620 Bahia and Maccio 1 8j a 10; .210 Maranham, 8$ a 10$.

Our importations ol cotten since this day sen’- night. amounted to 1256 bales, and our sales to 2990 bales, leaving us with a stock of 78,000 hales, of which 70,000 arc from the United States.
