DEPRESSION IN THE COTTON MARKET
CONDITION OF IRELAND.
The Cunard s,eanier Cambria arrived a, Bos-
ton on Thursday from Liverpool, with adyices to
the 10Th ut, the day Of her sailing.
The following summary of her news is made
up from the New York papers of Saturday
morning.

of the continued rise in the grain markets of
Engl land. The Cotton market remains i'm Il de-
pressed state.
But little activity in the Provision market.

crop.
The Bank of England has raised the rate of
discount to 81 per cent.

that before the end Of the year, with the advanc.
ing market, corn will be admitted at the lowest
duty--a shilling per quarter.
American wool appears TO command much at
tention.
Trade in the manufacturing districts is down.
The political news is OF very little Importance

The Railway specula,ious had very generally
subsidized, and as the frauds and machinery of the
operators in fictitious stocks are more fully de-
veloped, it appears that the amount of money ac-
tually diverted from the usual channels of trade
is extremely small. This circumstance has, to
some extent, tended TO quiet the money market.
The resignation Of Marshal Souit has been f.
nally accepted. General Saint You has been
appointed his successor in the Ministry of War.

lett ST. Petersburg for Italy this had been re-
solved upon.
The new Tariff of the Zolveren has been pub

The great topic among all classes in England
is the repeal OF the corn laws and open ports

canals.
