Arrival Of the Cambria-.Fifteen days
Later from Europe.
The Cambria arrived at Boston at 10 o clock
on Wednesday evening. The political and
commercial news received by this arrival is
important. The papers are filled with ac-
counts of outrages Of every kind, upon persons
and property. Great alarm is manifested at
the open traffic in firearms among The peasan-
antry. Trade is dull. The factories are work
Ing on shor. time. The English grain mar.
kets are animated. and previous prices of flour
maintained
No change in provisions. The cotton mar
kei after the arrival of the Britannia on the
LIST inst, became very animated and large
sales were made at an advance of a I'D per
h. On the Sd inst, the market closed firmly,

movement, however, is considered by practi-
cal men as speculative. Money was abundant
aud easy to be had at 81 per cent. per an
nun.
