which left Liverpool on the 7th inst, (three
days after the Cambria sailed) arrived at New
York on Tuesday morning at 5 o'clock, with
Liverpool and London papers up TO her day of
sailing. She also brought over 81 passengers.
The passage was made in 2 days and hours.
The intelligence by this arrival, is of course, of
little moment
There has been no political movements Of
interest since the Cambria sailed. The new
Cabinet were going on calmly with the Gov
eminent, and the disposition was manifest to
let them alone for the present. No question
had come up, however, to test its strength, or
to draw the party lines, and until such an event
did occur, nothing can be concluded as to the
stability ofthe new Ministry.
The crops look well in England and France.
| The sales of cotton in Liverpool in three
days after the Cambria sailed amounted to
1900 bales, without change in price.
American flour was selling at 26 a 2Ss., duty
paid, and was in fair demand.
Money market easy. Stocks firm.
The appointments of the new Ministry are
freely canvassed among business men in the
city and meet with general approval-the de-
sire being to give them fair trial.
Brokers have made slight reduction in the
rates of discount, Consols for money, this af-
ternoon, So ga. Elk. de. for the account 95
rs. Exchequer Bills realize from 1870 to ITO
premium. No change in either Mexican or
American securities.
The delivery of American grain, flour, and
produce, have not fallen off either in Liverpool
or London.
The new Ministry had been sworn into office.
Several of its members had been Threatened
with opposition.
There appeared to be a growing confidence
in English Securities in the London Money
Market.
Mexican Bonds had declined.
The Revenue. The revenue for the quarter
ending July 5, shows balance of increase on
the quarter of f575, $50, though for the. year
terminating at the same time there has been a
decrease of 9l ,0Il,773.
| TIE Corn Trade under the .New Lap The
operation Of the new corn law mas, thus far, not
produced any material effect upon prices, al
though, in anticipation OF a rise in the duty, a
large euantity-indeed the bulk-of the stock
of foreign grain in bond has been released du-
ring the past week. The millers generally have
| been out of stock, which has contributed to Gre
ate pressure of demand and to sustain prices
l When this pressure is over and the demand be-
comes less urgent, it is probable that we shall
see further decline from present prices unless
we should have weather unpropitious to the
growing crops. Considerable difficulty has been
created at the Custom houses by a difference
amongst the authorities as to the construction
Of a portion of the act The wording of this
portion is, that on rye, peas and beans, for eve
ry quarter duty equal in amount to the duty
payable on quarter barley shall be charged.
1t was interpreted at our own custom house
amongst Others, that the intent of the egisla-
ture was, that to rye, peas and beans the scale
of duties applicable to barley should be used,
but duty should be regulated by the average
price of each article separately. BY this inter-
probation of the meanidg of the legislature the
duty upon beans would have been 2s. per quar-
ter, and that sum was received at the Liverpool
Custom house, with security, however, for the
payment of any greater amount which might
be charged. The duty on barley is Sd. Cd; and
the difference, therefore was Is. Cd. The Gus
toms authorities, contrary to the general ex-
pectation of the trade, have interpreted the
wording Of the act literally, and ordered the
IS. Cd. duty to be enlorced.-LiuerpooI Stand
