Inc steam ship Cambria, Captain Judkins.
arrived att Boston at about o'clock Yesterday
th'sa morning. This fact was Immediately an
nounced to us over the lightning hne
She sailed frorh Liverpool on the 4th instant.
and her news is therefore half month later.
The intelligence, in commercial point of view
IS ol tie highest importance.
Inc price of Cotton had advanced sufficiently
20 increase the vale of icole crop upvards of five
millions of dollars.
There had been an improvement in the prices
Of Grain, with an excellent demand
1t appears, by debate in Parliament on the
Mexican war, that the mediation of England has
been, for the second time, offered to the United
States and Mexico.
The news from America announcing that the
American government had made overtures of
peace to the republic of Mexico, caused a great
change in the aspect of Mexican affairs, and pro-
duced quite revolution in the market value of
that stock.
The Cambria brings one hundred and thirty
three passepgers-one hundred and seven to Bos-
ron; amongst whom are the Hoa. Washington
Irving, our late minister to Spain, and L. May
nard, Esq, bearer Of dispatches, Rev. E. Kirk,
Rev. Dr. Dewitt, and the celebrated "Cruik-
shanks, the carlcaturlst.
One mercantile firm in Limerick, has sent our
for a dozen cargoes Of Indian corn.
Considerable discussion has taken place in the
French journals, relative to the recent alterations
in the American tariff.
The Constitutional thinks tho tariff still too high
and cnforces on the American government the
necessity of establishing docks and "entrepots"
The grain crops have been gathered in the
British Islands, and the general impression is that
wheat will be an average yield Oats the same
Potatoes, owing to disease, are every where a
failure.
The Chamber of Deputies opened on the 18th
ulhmo, with the usual speech from the throne,
which was received by the steamer Of the 10Th
OF August The proceedings of the Chambers
have since been confined to the verifcation of
the election of each Deputy. When this is COM
pieted they viii return an answer to the Kings
speech, to which the Peers have already sent up
their reply.
Joseph Henry, who fired at the King on the
9th July, has been tried by the Peers, found
guilty, and was condemned to work in the gal
ieys for life. No doubt is entertained that the
fellow is insane. His MSS. letters and bis con
duct prove it. During the trial he expressed
wish to be condemned to death but new State
policy towards these regicides has prevented the
realization of this ambitious desire for hero
worship"
The Bank OF England has lowered its rate of
interest TO 3 per cent, and the effect has been vi
.ible in improving the price of public funds
This movement gives greater facilities to trade,
and is intended to obviate all evil consequences
of the failure in the potato crop. In thus acting,
a.. l,
terbalanced by more general need of praise
The share market has an upward tendency
Hostility continues among the Irish people to-
wards Indian Corn, but increasing intelligence is
gradually removing the prejudice. Turnips are
IN sound state, and will compensate for the loss
of the more popular escuent.
At last advices from Van Diemans Land, the
aboring classes experienced considerable distress,
and the evils of the probation system were nces-
sanity maniiested.3
Conservative Presidents and Vice Presidents of
the French Chambers wereelected by large ma
iori.ies, and the ministry has working maisrty
OF l2D.
The British iron trade has improved, in view of
the opening of the markets of the United States,
under the new American tariff Freights i'm
American bottoms were not active, although a
partial advance had been obtained on some. The
American provision market was in a buoyant
state. Our accounts from the English manufac-
turing districts are more cheering
The parliamentary session had been brought to
close.
The subscription to the Golden testimonial
amounts 10 10000 pounds.
One of the largest ireghts OF specie on record,
amounting to six millions of dollars, has arrived
in England, in FL. M. ship-ofthe-l America
II was collected on the west coast of Mexico, and
in Peru and Chill, on account OF the British mer-
chants. England has now on that coast supe-
ror line Of mail steamers, by which her CONNER
cial intelligence is greatly facii ated, and her
chants enabled to monopolze some of the most
profitable markets in the world. This cargo OF
speee from Weztern America, has been deposit
ed in the Bank of England.
Accounts from Smyrna state that no less than
ten piratica vessels are cruising along the coastof
Asia Minor. u
G,From recent returns, lately published IN Spa
nish journal IL appears that the Spanish navy
consists OF 55 vessels or ships If war, AIMED with
$50 guns, and manned by 4,75l men.
The scarcity of apples and other fruits in Eng
land this year will, we expect, afford TO the Anne
rcan cuuvator an opportunity OF exporting that
article to this country to some advantage.
The Russian government has Just declared the
Polish provinces Of Wilma, Kowno and crodno to
