We simply announced the fact, Gas reported by

that the Cambria had arrived at Boston from

prices of Breadstufs in the Liverpool market of the

Commercial affairs take the precedence in the
news received by this arrival, and we believe that
the information with regard to them, will hardly dis
appoint the expectations OF those well advised in
these subjects. The stringency OF the money mar
ket had been somewhat relaxed, and with this
ufactures had taken an upward movement, and the
price of Cotton the rise. AT the same time
there was a fall in the prices of Breadstuffs which
however were again rising at the latest dates Not
withstanding this action, however, Flour was
cheaper in England at the last accounts, than 1t is
here.
The death of Daniel O'Connell, who has filled so
large space in the worlds eyes and ears, and in
the hearts of people who have carried their devo
ton to him all over the globe-athough for many
weeks cxpected-forms one of the most striking
facts in this packets budget of news. O'Connell
died at Genoa, on his way to Rome, on the 18th
ult, in the I'D year Of his age. His heart was en-
balmed to be carried to Rome for preservation, and
the rest of his mortal remains were to be carried
back TO Ireland His son Daniel, with other Irish
friends were with him at the time of his death, and
every attention paid to him and his remains by
the citizens of Genoa and the foreign residents OF
that city.
The papers also announce the death of several
other distinguished men. Among them was Reuben
G. Beasley, ESQ.,, our consul at Havre, who died in
that city on the LIST Of this month. Another was
Prince Jerome Bonaparte, nephew OF Napoleon,
