ETC.
The steamship Cambria, Capt. JUDKlNs, with
dates from Liverpool to the 10Th ut., anchored of
Boston Light on the night of the 4th inst.
The Cambria boarded and exchanged papers
with the Britannia on the Sd inst, from Boston
(sailcd I'd inst. for Liverpool.
The Hibernia, which as our readers may re.
member, went ashore n, Race Island and met with
few days, detention, arrived at Liverpool on the
18th ult.
The Liverpool Cotton market, which for the
week ending the 7th ult., had exhibited a droop.
ing character, began TO rally during the week fol-
lowing with large sales 10 the Trade, at an ad.
vance Of i'd. on American descriptions. 1t is
said that the stocks Of spnners are getting quite
low.
With regard 10 the Grain markets, it appears
tha! there has. been slight advance in Wheat but
prices Of fBreadsuffs generally have scarcely rails.
ed. U. S. Flour in bond is quoted at Bis. a 32s.
Cd. per bbi. U. S. Red Wheat IS. l0I. a 3d.
The Continental markets have been greatly exc.
ted, prices Of Wheat having advanced IS. per
quarter. The Potato crop in Ireland has suffer
ed all the injury previously represented, and hence
an opinion appears to prevail that the Grain mar.
kets must ultimately rise TO point, where the du.
ty becomes almost nominal.
The London Money market is again dearer.--
The Bank of England has raised its minimum rate
of discount TO 2! per cent, and it was believed
that it would be raised still higher.

i. is said that tho Oregon Question has seriously Sc

IViHmpr 4. Smith remark: "There appears
,o he sometbinp very warlike in the wind, for the
activity on tho scaboard; and in the nava arsenes,

ced the subject month or six weeks ago.
The Oregon question is beginning to excite some
alarm oooin. as the time approaches Tor the de-
livery Of the Presidents Message on the opening
n fConoress. 1t is rumored here-the intelligence
wh;rb came to hand yesterday by the Hibernia
r,vo confirmation to the statement-thal Mr..
Polk will take high ground on the question, ana
that he will go even further than ne uu i" MS 'n'
aupural address. At any time OF less depression
than the present, such an impression "ou'u na'e
made itself felt on the market, ana IL may uo 81
vet. as the intelligence by the Hibcrna only came
to hand when the business portion OF tne uay nau
bpen par,iaIIy consumed The ProbabilI'y, now
ever is. that with the stngnant feeling IN all mat

orent and protracted sitting, but on the co''oh
market no perceptible impression has been maue'
