FOREIGN NEWS.

The Steamer Britannia reached Boston on Thurs
day last, ll4 days from Liverpool As by the last
arrival, the most interesting news is the develope
ment of British feeling about the Polk Tariff, We
quote sundry items on this point:
The American news which the Cambria took ont
was considered highly important, although with re-
gard to the Tariff bill, some of the leading journals
sneak with much caution. They fear that the U.

that prtces wH jail so Iotc, consequence, tina. the
new American tariff will finally injurc, rather than
benefit, the manufacturers Of England HudS'

high to induce the spnners to buy, except to sup
ply their immediate wants. There is more doing IN
all kinds of yarns, and disposition TO buy for flu
ture delivery but the prices current are so very
low that the spinners could not realize prime cost
prior to the advance which now being given on
combing wages, and there is no disposition to sell,
except at higher rates. The prospects OF an early
Teaped and abundant harvest are very cheering and
hold out great hopes for good home trade for the
autumn. The accounts from The ,CeSt are equally
satisfactory; and the passing Of the reduced Tariff
