ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.


=
The Atlantic steamer Cambria arrived at Boa.
ton on Wednesday evening, having made the
passage from Liverpool to Halifax in about nine
days, and TO Boston in eleven DAYS and nina
hours-the shortest passage on record. We give
hasty summary of her intelligence:
The demand for cotton had been large, the
spnners keeping themselves well supplied-pait-
ly on account Of the low price Of the staple, and
partly induced by the promising state of business
in the manufacturing districts.
The American provision market was dull, with
light stocks; but daily arrivals were looked fos1
which would stimulate somewhat this branch Of
trade.
Iron, it is stated, has proved disastrous arti-
Gle for speculation, every description of manufac-
tured iron having been reduced 90 per cent, and
the tendency was still downward.
The price OF American stocks was looking up.
The determination of the Pennsy lvanians to re-
deem their credit had produced this improved
feeling, which exists in Paris as we'll as in Lon
don.
Money in the British metropolis was plentiful.
and the rate of discount low.
Parliament was drawing to close, and will I
be prorogued probably on the 5th or 9th August.
We see nothing Of particular interest in their pro-
ceediDgs.
The Orange professions of the 10Th Of July in
Ireland had been attended by riots in one in
stance, at Armagh, resulting in the loss of one
life and the wounding of several persons. The
Liverpool News Letter says:
"lt appears from all accounts, and even from
| the admission of Mr.. O'Connell, that in the ac,u-
| al collision the Orange men only acted as all
men, under the circumstances, would have done.
The conduct of the Roman Catholics in being
| the aggressors was, MIR. O'Connel declares,
such as to dsentiile them to any support or SYM
patty from the Repeaers." -
Most distressing accounts had been recei-
| we'd from the Cape of Good Hope. There was
continuous fighting between the Gri9uas, or bas-
tard natives, and the immigrant Beers, and at
the latest dates (April PAY collision between
the forces and subjects of Great Britain was 'tho
| most probable OF impending contingencies
The Paris dates are to the 10th July, the great
topic of interest having been the Jesuit question.
After Mr.. THIERs's famous appeal to the Gov
eminent to put the laws in force against the dis
ciples of Loyola, M. RossI was sent to Rome to
persuade the Pope to recall the Jesuits from
France. and thus save the Government the scam
dial of being obliged to eXpel them. In this M.
RossI succeeded, and all their communities are
to be broken up, the greater portion Of them or
dered to leave the kingdom, and their houses and
property to be disposed of. This is considered a
great triumph over the religious party.
The session of the two Chambers was consi-
dered virtually as end.
There appears to be no doubt that the French
Government has succeeded in getting the Empe-
| ror OF Morocco TO ra,fy the treaty entered into
between his Commissioners and General della
RYE, although in the first instance he utterly re-
pudiated the treaty, and caused his Commissions
ers to be bastinadoed for exceeding their instruc-
tionS
Intelligence from Algeria gives an account of
the massacre of a thousand Arabs under Ouled
Rahs, by the French. The cavern of the Daha-
ra, where the Arabs had taken refuge, the
scene of this horrid affair. Here they were hem
med in, faggots were lighted, and the unfortunate
wretches refusing to surrender, were burnt and
sulfocated in their place of refuge.
