&C., &C., &c.

The steamship Cambria, Capt. Judkins, was
telegraphed at Boston at haf-past four this after
noon, and the fact Immediately transmitted over
the wires to this city.
The Cambria left Liverpool on the 4th inst
The steamer reached Boston about I past 6
o'clock, and soon after our special reporter COM
menced to despatch the news over the lightning
line to the Herald Office Owing, however, to
the electricity in the atmosphere, the line did
not work well, and indeed refused to speak at all
after the grain and portion of the cotton mar
ket was got through. We were, in consequence
of this constrained last evening to issue an Err
ira Herald; with the following intelligence only.
THE Corn MARKETS
The Corn Markets are receding in every direc-
ton, and in some descriptions, that of Indian
corn for instance, the fall has been astounding.
The price has receded about 24s. The rapid rise
in this species of food surprised many persons,
and even in the judgment of the uninitiated ex-
ceeded the necessities of the case.
Flour, like Indian corn, has sustained consi-
derable fall, and the existing impression can
hardly fail to be increased by the fine spring
weather we are now enjoying, which foresha-
dows early and prolific harvest.
The Corn MARKET AT LIVERPOOL.
There have been several changes in our corn
market since the sailing of the Hibernia Large
imports of all descriptions of breadstufs to eve
ry part of the United Kingdom, have had the effect

THE CorToN MARKET.
Good Sea Island, l5Ad to l8d.; Bowed Geor-
gia 81 to g.; New Orleans, 81 to- u.
In the Liverpool cotton market, for the week
ending March 26, there was quite turn round
Instead of the gloom and depression which
had existed during the present year, we have
had stirring and active business on each sue
ceeding day, both to the trade and on specula-
ton. Exporters also have been purchasers for
some of the better qualities Of Orleans. In such
amarket, and after so long depression, it became
almost certainty that an increase Of demand
would also give turn in prices. Accordingly
American descriptions of all qualities are raised
penny per lb., and the great bulk of the ordina-
ry kinds I'D.
