ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.

ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.
The steamer Caledonia arrived at Boston on
Tuesday afternoon from Liverpool which place |
she left on the 4th instant. From some derange- |
mcnt of the Telegraph wires between Boston |
and Philadelphia the news brought by her was
not received in the latter city until half past six
O'Clock yesterday morning, when the following
synopsis was Immediately transmitted 10 US by
our attentive agent in Philadelphia:
The Liverpool papers are filled with an ac-
count of the visit of Prince Albert to that place,
and the magnificent doings on that occasion.
The Cotton market was without any percepti-
bic change, and an improvement had taken place
in the manufacturing districts, in consequence of
the probabilities of the passage of the new Tariff
which had passed the House of Representa-
tiyes here.
The value of iron has risen in anticipation of
a large export TO the United States.
The money market has fuctuated but little
since the sailing of the last packet.
The steamer Britannia arrived at Liverpool
from Boston on the 3lst ult.
Louis Bonaparte, Ex-King of Holland, died at
Leghorn Of apoplexy, on the 24th ult. aged sixty
seven.
The Pope of Rome'has granted general am
nesty to all political offenders.
The debate on the Sugar duties occupied two
days and the Government scheme triumphed by
a majority of 245 to 135-Hearly two TO one
This result virtually abrogates the monopoly,
and places sugar in the same category as corn,
by an easy declension on the high road TO free
trade. Sir Robert Peel gave the ministerialmea-
sure generous support, and the greatness Of the
majority may be traced TO that circumstance.
Anothbr attempt has been made on the life of
the King of France. While seated at the win
dow in the palace of the Tuileries, to listen to
concert performed by the National Guards, on
the 3Oth ult., a man in the crowd drew pis-
to and fired two shots at the King. He missed
him, of course, and also those in his immediate
vicinity. lie was Immediately arrested. His
name was Joseph Henry. He said he was wea-
ry of life and resolved to commit this crime as
means of meeting death.
A Paris paper, the Courier Francais, says
that the Mexican Government has demanded of
France and England their mediation to put an
end to the war with the U. States.
THE CHOLERA IN LONDON.
The Lord Mayor Of London had announced
the presence Of the Asiatic cholera in some parts
Of London, but it would appear that the disease
alluded TO was not the Asiatic cholera. Within
the last few days there has been an enormous
increase, at the various metropolitan hospitals
and dispensaries, of English cholera in very
acute form. 1t is attributable more to atmos-
pheric influences than the use Of fruit, to which
tits generally ascribod.
The city of London was visited on the frstin-
slant with a terrific storm of thunder, lightning
and hail. One Of the papers contains four solid
columns, detailing the destruction done by this
storm in every part of London. The fine pic
mrc gallery in Buckingham Palace, the re ST.
dencc of the Queen, came near being destroyed,
and great many of the public buildings were
seriously injured. Whole blocks of houses
were undermined, and large number of the
poore classes driven out Of house and home.-
The violence of the tempest extended to a great
many of the smaller towns in the neighborhood
of London, doing immense damage every where.
There is not much briskness in the manufac-
turing districts. The business has been so un-
profitable, that some of the manufacturers had
serious notions of working short time, when the
intelligence arrived that the House of Represen-
tatives had passed the tariff This gave fiillip
TO the desponding, but it yet remains to be seen
whether the same success will attend the measure
in the Senate. Trade here will revive if the
tariff pass in its integrity.
The weather since our last has been variable,
Several brilliant days there have been, succeed.
ed by thunder storms and showers, and by the
latter the crops in several parts of the country
have been beaten down and injured.
The new wheat crop in the west districts has
been cut, but it is described as being less heavy
than previous calculations led us to anticipate.
The quality Of the wheat is good, but no general
result can as yet be satisfactorily arrived at. In
the mean time, large quantities of wheat ant
flour continue TO arrive from the United State:
and Canada, which keep down prices and rem
the trade inactive.
Itis stated that the dissension among the repeal
ers in Ireland has grown to an open rupture.-
Mr.. Smith O'Brien has actually seeded from
the Association, with the members of the Young
Ireland party, after two days wrangle witt
Mr.. John O'Connel, The immediate point ii
dispute was the physical force doctrine; but there
were other causes of discord.
I In England as we'll as in many parts of Eu
rope, the apple crop is said to have failed.
