The steamer Britannia arrived at Bos.
ton on Saturday morning, but the telegraph
wires between Boston and New York were
immediately cut by some of the specula-
tors, time only being allowed to announce
the fact of her arrival. She brings dates
TO the 18th ult from Liverpool, sixteen
days later than those brought by the Gale
donia.
The steamer Great Britain was still in
The same position that the Caledonia left
her, aud will probably be total loss
She had twelve feet Of water in her hold
al the latest dates.
The intelligence from Ireland is Of the
most melancholy character Notwith-
standing the assignee rendered by Gov
eminent in relieY fg the wants of the peo-
pie, the famine Vas increasing in all parts
Of the country. A malignant disease had
also broken out in some portions of the
kingdom which was greatly adding TO the
wretchedness Of the people.
The Cambria had arrived out with our
Minister, Mr. Bancroft, who would at once
enter on his duties.
The marriages Of the Queen of Spain
and her sister have been consummated
without any serious effects, if we except
the protest by England and one or two
other European powers. The tatente cor.
dale between France and England i,
broken; France joins Spain for the con.
quest of Spanish Americas.
The money market was greatly depress-
ed. There was strong anGcipations thai
a heavy shipment of bullion TO this coun.
Try would take place, on account OF the
great demand for breadstufs forthe want:
Of the people.
Flour was in brisk demand at an ad.
vance of one shilling per barrel over the
quotations by the last steamer.
The prices ofgrain was also rapidly adj
Yancing in all European ports.
The advance IN cotton was about one
i'Tlhlng over the previous rates.
