EoREIGN NEWS.

The new steamer Cambria, arrived at Bos-
ton on the morning of the gath inst. We ex-
tract from the Boston Tribune the following
"The annual report Of the Cotton Market
was published on the LIST inst and had ten
dency TO depress the market, but on the Sd the
market closed quietly and prices were without
alteration.
The Money Market was 10 the same state,
except that money was, if any thing, more a.
bundant than before. Abundance OF good pa
per could be discounted at to 2 ! per cent.
The Presidents Message was received by
the Caledonia on the goth ul. and was carried
by Wilmer and Smiths Express TO London, a
distance of $50 miles,, in six hours. The con-
tents OF the message and the accompanying
documents, occasioned much comment in the
London papers, and every body who is con-
cerned 10 the Texas annexation question is
abused without mercy, except Mr. Rejon, the
Mexican Minister.
The English news is unimportant, relating
principally TO the troubles in the Episcopal
Church, and TO details of misery among the
people. The following paragraph is from
Wilmer G. Smiths European Times"
"To England belongs the approbrium Of be-
ing at once the richest and the poorest country
in the world. Poverty will aways-has al
ways existed but our social system is SO COM
pick, our population is so redundant, that my
riads are constantly lowering, as regards the
mere animal wants of nature, between life and
death. In every large town, thousands OF
half starved creatures, after devouring one
meal, know not where to look for the next.
Every year adds TO the number of persons so
wretchedy Strengthened. Many owe il, doubt
less, to their own improvidence--to their
drunkenness, their folly, or their extravaganza.
II would be cruel TO charge all the misery
which floats in society upon the Government.
Nevertheless, much might be done 70 alleviate
the misery which stalks rampant through the
land.''
The abstract ofthe news from other parts of
Europe that can be given is the following,
which we also copy from the European Times
The principal interest of the foreign news
centres in France. The King opened the
chambers on the Goth ult., in speech with
which little fault can be found, even by French
men, and with il every one else must necessa-
rily feel satisfied. The King euogizes every
body and every thing. The war with Morocco
is, of course, alluded to, in complimentary
terms. The visit to Queen Victoria produces
the most elaborate passage in the speech. The
prosperity of France is mentioned with an ear
nestness that would seem TO indicate belief in
its existence. The marriage of the Duke d.
Aumale, the happiness of the royal family, and
The burdens which the royal speaker has inn
posed upon himself for the good Of his people
these make up the remainder of this budget Of
kingly congratulations. The Kings speech
seems TO have dsarmed the hostility of the OPP
position press, and il is said that the Sout-
Guizot cabinet, in the present dearth OF mate
rials for the opposition to work with, is safe
during the session. The affairs of Tahiti and
Morocco are the only vulnerable points Of at
tack, and even these must disarm hostility
from the successful termination of the war in
