Things remained very much as they were on
the departure of the last steamer.
The Hon. Louis McLane has returned in her.
The cotton market has been in a quiescent
state. The sales on the 18th at Liverpool were
estimated at 5000 bales. Spectators have taken
700 American, and have exported 500 bales ::
1000 bales. consisting of 500 Bahia. were sold
at Cd to 65d. 100 Peruvian at 6sd a 6 3-Sd.
The market closed in the manufacturing dis
tricts with business by no means active. How
ever, news received from the United States will
give a new impetus to trade.
The money market is easy, and for business
cash can be had very readily.
The produce markets are tolerably active, both
as regards the home and the export trade.
American hams are selling at 35s. to ass
There is a good demand for beef and pork aad
late prices are fully supported. Lard. in kegs. is
selling at 35s. to 43. and in barrels at 35s. to 3Ss.
Cheese of good quality ia very scarce at Liver
pool. Parcels of indifferent quality have been sold
at 35s to ass. per cwt.
There has been storms and floods in England
and great falls of rain, which have injured the
crops severely.
The popularity of the new Pope is unbounded.
The Golden testimonial has reached eos, 600.
Indian corn has risen to 32s. per quarter,
The accounts of the potatoe crop appear to be
disastrous.
The new Papal tariff makes great reductions on
Woollen manufactures, cotton goods, sugar and
coffee.
House Of Lords.-Parliament is expected to
rise about the 28th of August. On the 18th the
House of Lords passed the Sugar Bill.
Hous Of Commons.-The restitution of Ire
land occupied the House Of Commons on Monday.
A sum of money has been appropriated to employ
the poor of Ireland.
FkANcE.-The French Chambers have termi-
mated. and great has been the success of the Gui-
Tot ministry. The majority in the new Chamber
IL expected to be one hundred, and it may posi-
bly, exceed that number. The King had opened
the Chambers with a short speech.
Effects of the ,american Tariff in England.
Several markets have experienced the effects OF
the liberal tariff which goes into operation in the
United States on the LIST of December. Iron has
already advanced in price, and the wooden manu-.
factories of Yorkshire are firm and improving.
The Ocean Race.-The steamer Cambria ar
rived out in ten days and sixteen hours. The
steamer Great Britain, which sailed same day,
arrived out in thirteen days and ten hours. The
packet ships Fidelia and Hottingeur, have also
arrived out. The steamer Great Britain had a
detention at sea of eighteen hours, in repairing her
driving chains.
STATE Of Trade.--At Manchester there is no
change to report in the Cloth market since this
day week. The favorable commercial news from
the United States have made the market what
may be called firm in printing cloths of good quail.
ty. There is an advance but a slight one. The
demand continues good.
At Bradford the wool market is well supplied
with all kinds Of comblngs, and the business do
ing is barely an average, as the prices are too
high to induce the spinners TO buy except TO sup
ply immediate wants. Our Cotton market has
been active, and upon some kinds of goods an ad-
vance has been given. The wool market con-
tinuss inactive and prices nearly stationary.
SIX DAYS LATER FROM THE ARMY.
The N. o. Picayune of the 9th ult. announces
the arrival of the steamer Alabama from Brazos
Santiago. whence she sailed the 24th. She brings
very little news of interest of Gen. Taylor's
army. Gen. Taylor was still at Camsrgo with
the main body Of the army Of invasion. The

with 1000 men had proceeded from Camarpo ON
his route to Monterey.
The Matamoras Flag of the 23d ult., states
that the steamer ViIginian reports having crossed
Gen. Worth and his command, consisting of the
9th Infantry, and two companies of Artillery,
over the San Juan river, on the 10Th inst. Gen.
Worth, says our informant, received orders to
march TO the village of China and remain there
until further advised. This may OF may not be
so; we are inclined TO believe that there is a little
more OF the may not, than may. 1t would be
hardly Worth while for the commander of this
expedition to start at all if he had to stop at IS
miles.
OHl THIS DREADFUL TARIFF.-We learn
that three new factories are about to be erected in
the hourishing village Of Saco-two on the Bidde
ford side and one on the Saco side of the Saco
River. One will soon 60 into operation and 9th
