ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA-FIFTEEN
!, DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
The steamer Cambria, from Liverpool November
~, arrived of Boston on Thursday night about IL
o'clock, and anchored in the Lighthouse channel.
She came up to her berth at East Boston early FRI
day morning.
The Cambria encountered extremely rough
, weather on the passage. She came out Of Liver
, English pilot could not get board his boat,
and was Obliged to make the passage across the
ocean,
Wea under obligations to Adams & Co. for
supplying US with English papers by the Cambria,
and with Boston papers of Friday evening, several
hours in advance of the arrival Of the mail.
|, Among the passengers in the Cambria Is Profess
sor s. F. b. Morse, who is bearer of very important
dispatches to our government from the United
States legations IN Prussia, Belgium, and England
Mr Morse has in charge the ratified treaty between
Bavaria and the United States transmitted by Mr.
Wheaton, United States minister at Berlin. Also,
the proposed commercial treaty between Belgium
and the United States. He has likewise dispatches
for the Department Of State, and for the Postmaster
General, from Mr.. McLane, our minister at the
court OF st. James. In the same steamer came Ru-
fus Prime, esq, of New York. bearer Of dispatches
from the United States legation in Paris to the De-
partmtnt of State.
We learn by passenger III the Cambria, that the
Great Western was going into Liverpool when the
Cambria was coming out after passage Of thirteen
days.
The Hbernia arrived at Liverpool just previous
to the sailing Of the Cambria. She leaked very
badly; and it was necessary to keep the pumps in
active motion to clear her. Great anxiety had been
felt about her detention.
i The Great Britain had also just arrived pre-
vious TO tile departure Of the Cambria, after pas
sage Of about twenty days She met with some
disaster to her propeller; but worked remarkably
!. well under canvass.
I. The passengers by the Cambria anticipate
excitement in England on the receipt of the Pres-
dents message Indeed, the expectation that the
message would take high ground on the Oregon
question: il is said, had occupied the attention of
the British cabinet in frequent and protracted sit
tings. The activity before noticed the seaboard
and in the naval arscnals continued steady and
RENTING.
1t seems that the government have come to the
conclusion not TO open the ports for the free admission
Of grain at present II is inferred from this that, bad
as things are IN that country, they not quite
bad as has been represented Wilmer & Smiths
European Times says that the fine weather which
has ruled in the country during the last fortnight,
has enabled the farmer to take the best precautions
for arrestng the disease to which the potatoes are
subject and much good has been done in the way
of saving what was thought to have been rrecovcr-
ably lost. The same paper says:
II "The corn market continues to rise, and the
q
4s; but the belief gaining ground that before the
end OF the year, with the advancing market, corn
will be admitted at the lowest duty--a shilling per
quarter The inferior descriptions continue to keep
down the averages, but only for temporary period
The quantity of -four coming from the United States
to this country has been most absurdly exaggerated
in some Of the journals"
\ The cotton market, we learn from the same
source, partakes Of the depression into which every
description OF business 10 for time plunged. There
is little doing, although, compared with the in
activity Of the previous fortnight; the market
symptoms of animation.
| The Bank of England has raised the rate of dis
count to 81 per cent.--a movement that has had
tendency TO arrest all further speculation in railway
stock.
j The proprietor and editor Of the Courier des
i Etats Unis Ia French newspaper published at New
York; went some years ago to the United States to
tempt his fortune. He became the partner of two
other persons, and hoped realize an immense for
tune by specializing in wines. On his arrival in
New Orleans, however, the yellow fever broke out,
and commercial criais weighed upon the whole Of
4 the States Of the Union. He became unfortunate,
and was declared bankrupt in connexion with his
partners, by his Partisan creditors. Since then, by
strenuous exertions, he gained property, and has
employed it to pay off all the debts for which he
was responsible; and not only his own portion, but
that of one of his partners--a friend whom he per-
suaded to join the concern, and is now dead Mr..
Gaillardet the gentleman In question: lately arrived
in Paris and employed himself to get his bank
ruptcy reversed. The court, on learning that he
had paid all his debts, Immediately complied with
his request; and M. Gaillarde no longer figures on
Pits records a bankrupt.
The London Times has published document
relative to the railway interest Of this country, which
has excited much interest and good deal Of alarm
The document exhibits the astounding number of
1868 projected companies, to carry out which, will
require nearly i,cothrds Of the national debt of Eng
land, Even the depose of 10 per cent. will alone
absorb S53, l36, 800. 1t further appears that there
are AZ railways completed, representing capital Of
f70,6 ,S67 In the Of construction there
are llS lines Of railway; to complete which, even
with the parliamentary power Of borrowing one
third debentire, will absorb sf67, 1853, 325-so
that the invested capital in rails, leaving entirely
out of view the new announcements, is already the
enormous sum of fIl3,6l2,0lS! But if the old,
together, with the 10 per cent. deposite, have
the incredible sum Of f649, 583,790 required for
this branch of trade alone The world never wit
messed such folly, knavery, and madness before.
The new Mayor of Liverpool is David Hodgson,
esq, formerly connected with the great American
house of Messrs. Chopper, Benson & Co.
The Hutchinson family, from Boston, United
States, have been recently singing with much sue
cess at the Mechanics institute, Liverpool.
Q The Duke Of Wellington has sent out orders to
. abolish temperance and all other societies in her
{ Maiesty's regiments
A French nobleman, the Due de Croy, lately
: brought the collins containing the remains of some
of his ancestors, from place in Belgium, for re-

tom-house functonaries on the frontier charged him
francs for the contents Of the collins old bones
HupsoN's BAY PRoDuCE.-The annual importa-
