4 The steamer Cambria arrived at Boston on
& Wednesday night, with one months later news
from Europe. 1t was received in New York
4 in hours afterwards by the Herald express,
ahead of tho Halifax express and all others,
and in Philadelphia by the u. S. Gazette, in
! advance of its contemporaries. To these enter
prising journals, and tho New York Sun and
& Philadelphia North American, we are indebted
/ for extras. The two latter journals ran ex-
presses from Halifax.
The news by the Cambria is Of the highest
importance, both in political and commercial
point of view.
The meeting Of Parliament, and the Queens
speech, and the remarks of Sir Robert Peel and
Lord John Russell in relation to the foreign af-
fairs of Great Britain, particularly with the U.
States, give very favorable complexion to the
Oregon question. Sir Robert and Lord John
condemn the course pHrsusd by Mr.. Pakenham on
The Oregon question, particularly his refusal Of
ge offer Of Mr.. Buchanan, ,rithoh submitting il
10 the consideration ofhS government.
= Lord John Russell is decidedly opposed to
!, the increase of the army and navy of G. Br-
tain, and says that the only need of any in
crease is the increase in the possessions of that
government
/. The reduction of duties on American pro-
duce. proposed by Sir Robert Peel, meets with
much favor, and is expected to increase the
business of the manufacturing districts very
much.
The ccounts of the various markets are of
the most favorable character, and cannot but
have a very favorable effect upon the prices OF
! American produce in our markets.
