ARRIVAL oyE STEAMER BRITANNIA

Is DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
The steamer Britannia arrived at Boston or
Friday morning, efer passage Of i6 r-2 days
having left liverpool on the 9Th inst. We are
indebted TO the express of Messrs. Adams s. CO.
for Whine and Smiths European Times and
the n. Y, Herald extra, from which we make
up the following summary;
The Caledonia arrived out OH tbs 29th, i'll IA
days from Boston.
The Cotton market remains ina quiet state
with fair demand from the trade, and specu-
lators nibbling occasionally. The sales of the
week ending with Friday last amounted to SO,
900 bales--upwards OF 1000 daily. During the
same period 500 American ard 200 Surat
were takenon speculation, and 200 American
for export. Some descriptions barely support
their former quotations-long 'staplcd Cotton,
Brazil aud Egyptian, for instance, have given
way a little. Prices generally'support the pre-
vious currency. Some purchases of Surat have
been made at led to Sd, the buyers not in
tending TO hold. The accounts which came to
hand by the Caledonia respecting the new crop
have been varied and contradictory. They have
not influenced the market.
The Liverpool market for American prov-
sions is active. This trade lie only in its infap-
cy, and every month will add TO its importance
Last EIonth no less than 1900 tierces of Ane-
rican Beef were sold here-the greatest sales
effected since the opening of the trade-and
yet insufficient for the demand. The supply of
Cheese falls short of the inquiries, and the re-
sntiG, that improved prices have been realiz-
ed. Irish Butter has advanced, and Cana
dian has been asked for, but there is none 30
be had.
Canadian flour has attained an advance ofG9
per barrel; it is in fair request. The corn trade
generally exhibits firm aspect, although the
business done in bread stufs has not been to a
large amount Oats being scarce, have advanc-
ed Id per 45 lbs, and Oatmeal has improved
to the extent of Cd per 24o lbs.
The Iron trade is firm; BUYERS hold off in the
expectation oflower prices, and consumers are
only purchasing for immediate want; but every
thing indicates that an active trade will con-
tnue during the winter.
Money continues abundant. The Govern
nent securities, in the teeth of this superabsR.
dance, do not improve; but this is attributed to
the high rate of English funds-higher by IL
per cent. than those of France. A large French
loan is on the point of being brought out, and
Messrs Rothschilds have already contracted
one for Belgium, which stands at one per cent.
premium. English three per cent. consols stand
|, at 80 is to 100.
Business in the manufacturing districts is as
rgood as it has everb been known. Spinners and
manufacturers are as busy as bees The ma
kers of heavy cloths, the power-loom printers
and the manufacturers of,demestcs, have all
more orders than they can execute. This state
ofactivity, applicable to the neghborhood of
Manchester, hardly holds good in the adjoining
county of York. The markets at Leeds and
Bradford are fiat, and the sales of good for win
ter clothing was not proceeding satisfactorily
Nwould seem that the activity which prevail
ed in Lancashire is not the result Of orders for
the American market. Freights at Liverpool
are extremely dull, and few of the packets and
transient ships go out full. The Yorkshire is
taking out strange cargo-l20 tons of Guano,
at lbs. Cd. per ton freight.
An attempt was made at Liverpool to muir
der Capt Woodhouse Of the New York pack
ct ship Queen of the West. He was assaled
as he was about leaving the ship, and knocked
down senseless, but not fatally wounded. One
of bis crew is suspected, and has made his es-
cape.
By the monthly official returns Just publish
ed, we perceive that the Bank of England has
commenced diminishing its issues as nearly as
possible to the amount of drain upon its gold
( bullion; and what is still more worthy of at
tentlon, its deposits are Increasing, while its
paper currency is also decreasing
Twenty persons were killed on the LIST inst.
by the fall of cotton mill at Oldham.
There is a lull in the agitation of Repeal in
Ireland, the Liberator since his declaration in
favor Of Federalism remaining quiet at his
mountain home of Derryane.
Mr.. O'Connell says in late lotter-''For
my part, feel that my first duty is to combine
the people oflreland all the people Of Ireland,
! in our peaceabe, legal, and constitutional
| struggle to restore Ireland to her domestic Le-
gislature, without which there is no prospect
before US but of increasing misery and accumu-
latng discomfort. Professionals of Ireland! nom
Repealers! we hold out to you the hand of per-
| feet Cancellation, and there is heart in that
hand"
Some time ago we mentioned that steps were
being taken by the London clubs to stamp Gre
| pudiation"as crime against society. We stated
that Americans belonging TO the insovent
states would be shut out of the social and other
; advantages which the clubs afford TO strangers
| visiting London. The war of aggression has
commenced, but it is much more stringent in
its application than we intmated at the time, or
1 lad any conception Of 1t will embrace ALL
Americans, without reference to what part of
the Union they come from. The innocent will
suffer disgrace equally with the guilty states.
The late crop ofpotatoes in Ireland is found
to exceed the produce of any year OH record
The abundant growth of this vegetable has sur
passed all expectations.

Court of Berlin was received by their Majesties
