The letter from my Liverpool friend and cores
pendent came 10 hand usual per the Cambria to-day
but as rs too long 10 communicate entire with this
eer ana the most important part Of Il refers 10 the
state OF the English markets, ! have concluded to
submit the following extracts from IT, He says the
rumor win regard 10 the settlement Of the Oregon
question was rather doubted by the people generally
since the sailing of the Great Western. He remarks
that the received from this side by the Hiber-
ma was considered OF very pacific character, and
that no one seemed TO apprchend war. The funds
were depressed at one time by rumor which
body believed that large feet was about sail for
Bermuda. His remarks in reference to the pro-
| ceedings OF Parliament famine In Ireland, &c,
contain nothing beyond what appears in the pa.
pers Of the day. The railway market he represents
as beng IN a deplorable state; land all are anx-
ious to wind up schemes they were anxious
some time ago to propagate. The Losses will be
awful 10 all but lawyers, engineers, &c. Govern
nent Is about passing bill to facilitate the winding
up Considering these circumstances money is less
scarce than might be expected but the regular and
healthy course Of trade was much intorfored with
he says trade manifests disposition towards inn
provement IN Manchester. "Bolh goods and yarns
were in better request and at improved prices"
I'm our cotton market We have a decided improve
ment, produced principally by the falling of Of the
receipts into your ports, and indicating a crop Of
3OO,OOO TO 900 bales less than last year The
stock OF American In our port is over $4,000 bales
less than al the same period last year, and the spin
ners generally hold but moderate stocks. Many of
them have been induced for sometime TO keep out
OF Market in the expectation that their orders TO pu-
chase sent TO America would be executed; but they
now ind there is no chance of it, and will be com
PEELED TO enter our market more freely.
"Within the last two weeks we consider there
has been an advance of I'd. per pound The search
~ on the continent has occasioned greater demand
for export and moro than double the quantity OF
that OF last year. at this period has been purchased
by exporters. In France they have scarcely any
stock and prices are at least Id. per pound above
ours. The sales Of the week ending are 60 800 bales
OF which $500 on speculation, and 1850 for export
with imports 80 900 bales. The salea Of the pre-
gous week were 30 500 bales, of which 5000 on
speculation, and ESQ for export, with imports only
500 bales. We may, however, now look for con-
siderable supplies, the wind being round TO ule west
ward, and we know Of upwards Of l30, 900 bales
being actually on the way from the United States.
I'm our corn market We have.hs important change
10 note and there continues steady demand at for
mer prices. American wheat has been sold IN bond
at Is per 70 pounds; sweet -four 26s 27s. per bar
rel Indian corn 34s. BIS. per 4s0 pounds In bond
duty Is. consider II not improbable that some OF
your cotton planters will begin TO turn their
ton more 10 the cultivation OF Indian corn, which is
getting moro into general consumption in this coun-
Try.
There is a steady but moderate demand for
American provisions. ...
'Tobaeco-there is no change in prices, but very
little business doing we have too large stock Of it.
'Sales-6 900 bales to-day, Of which 1900 specu-

The Cambria was got off the beach on Monday
cvening the 4th instant, at o'clock, and anchored
in deep water outside the light, till the following
Tuesday morning, when she proceeded to East Bos-
ton, and made fast in her berth. Previous, how
ever, to her getting afoat she had sent her mails
loverland to Boston, some seventy miles distance.
The result was, she reached the city in advance OF
her mails. Wilmer & Smiths Times newspapers

Rogers, who reached the city last night with them

The safety with which the Cambria went on
| shore and was got off without damage, proves the
| advantage Of steam over sailing vessels. By back
ing her wheels, and otherwise regulating the force
| with which she went on, prevented serious damage.
Had heavy loaded sailing ship went on shore, at a
point where 30 many vessels have been lost it is
possible that she would have been lost. In getting
of, she could employ her steam power in COM
bination with that sent to her assistance.
! While all admit that the present age is highly
Ipropitious to all kinds of advancement, that the
world is going on famously in steam, in railroads, in
%ashh,nery. printing &C. yet few persons are aware
the wonder of wonders, which belongs to the pre-
sent era-I mean the development of Mesmerisul, by
which ciairuoyance is produced, at the will Of tho
