ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA.
TWELVE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
The steamship Britannia, Captain Hewitt, from
Liverpool 4lh instant via Halifax, was telegraphed
this morning at five minutes before eight, a. M,
and arrived at the wharf at East Boston at ten
o'clock
The Britannia had IS passengers from Liver
pool--20 stopped at Halifax, and Is were received
there, making 80 which arrived at this city. Among
these, are Edward Everett, our late minister to the
court of 81. James, and his family
ENGLAND.
The commercial advices by the Britannia are fla
vorable. Business was active in the manufacturing
districts. A decided improvement had taken place
at Liverpool in American cotton, and the lower
qualities were selling az better rates The iron trade
was brisk, and the corn trade was depressed.
Baring's Circular says: "Tho weather, since 22d
ultimo, has continued very fine, and considerable
progress has been made in harvest operations. The
quality Of the new wheat, hitherto received, is
rather Indifferent; but AZ that probably housed
prematurely, we do not consider il affords any cr-
isrion Of the crop generally, which. with contn-
uance of favorable weather to secure it. we are full
ly inclined to think will prove good average one
Trade continues healthy in all its branches; in
creased demand prevails for produce and the lead
ing staples for export, while the home trade supply
themselves freely, and prices of many articles have
improved.
The money market was without change trans
actions in American securities continued very limit
ed, and quotations were in consequence nominal.
Pennsylvania had declined to 67I to GO.
The intelligence by this arrival, (says the Boston
Atas,) il not Of an important character. The news,
taken out by the Cambria of the warke attitude of
Mexico towards the United States, caused quite a
sensation; and the London and Paris journals were
discussing the merits of the question with considera-

important matters. The news had an immediate ef-
feet upon government securities at the London
Stock Exchange, and they experienced decline OF
about per cent, while Mexican securities declined
IA per cent.
The prospects of the harvest in England are more
encouraging-the fine weather having ripened the
wheat and enabled the farmers get in their crops
in good condition.
The Liverpool cotton market was animated and
an advance Of ID per h., in many instances had
ken place.
The expresses for the London journals, with des.
patches in anticipation of the overland mail arrived
in London ON the 30th ult. The news from India is
quite unimportant. That from China is not so late
as brought by the Rainbow, Just arrived at New
York. There has been an insurrcction in Madrid
among the shopkeepers and merchants, arising out
of new tributary system. The capital was full OF
troops and several persons had been killed by them.
At the last dates, Madrid was comparatively quiet.
In Greece and Turkey, there has been ministerial
crisis. Ministers have been superseded by the for.
nation of new cabinets. In Germany and Prussia,
the religious movement continues to occupy the
attention of the people. The disturbances in Mount
Lebanon are likely to be effectually put down
through the influence of the Five Powers
The Queen Prince Albert, and suite, were still in
Germany, and had passed several days in Coburg--
the birthplace Of Prince Albert We have given
some particulars Of the royal movements in another
place. II was arranged that the Queen and Prince
Albert were to reach Antwerp on the 9th inst, and
there embark board the royal yacht, and proceed
to Flushing, when the yacht would anchor for the
night and Sunday, the 7th, start for the Isle Of
Wight, and disembark there on the 9th inst.
Prince Albert's birthday was observed in London
the Goth ult, with the usual demonstrations of
respectable guns Of the principal fortresees fired,
and the church-bells rang throughout the kingdom;
while those persons who were Immediately connect
ed with the court went to the festive lengths of d-
ming and illuminating The event was also celebra-
ted at Coburg

Dowager intends setting out early next month on

information on the point.--Perthshire Courier
LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE AND MONEY MARKET
We take the following remarks upon the transac-
tons at the Stock Exchange, from the Spectator of
"FapAr, 2sth. The business Of the English funds
has been unimportant The character Of the INTEL
ligence from America threw gloom over the mar

Exchequer bills have declined in slight degree and

which nearly support their last quotations. The
business Of the railway share market has been
extensive than usual. Almost every variety Of
foreign shares is materially higher than last week.
and the business Of unprecedented extent. The
English shares have been the subject Of much fuc-
tualions. especially the scrip ofthe new underia-
kings. The general tone Of the market may be de-
cided as good Money ia, however, becoming
scarce; and very high rates of interest were given
upon the occasion of the share-scttlcment to-day

tons 1t is to the demand for money in the share

Sept. 3d.--The market for the English funds
has been very dull. Consols have been marked

chequer bills have been done again at AIS to ass
