The steamship Cambria, Captain Judkins, ar
rived at Boston at eight o'clock yesterday
morning. She left Liverpool on the 9Th inst.
The news from England is one week later
than received by the Missouri.
| 1t will be seen that the commercial intelli-
pence is of considerable importance.
James Gordon Bennett, Esq, and family are
passengers in the G.
The following despatch, received by tele-
graph, was prepared in Liverpool, at the latest
| moment
The Despatch.
| LIVERPOOL, Oct 6, ls47, IL M.
| THE CORN MARKET.
Best Western canal -four from 26s. to PCS. 3D.
per barrel; Richmond and Alexandria, 25s to
25s 3D.; Philadelphia and Baltimore, 25s. to
25s 3D.; New Orleans and Ohio, 22s. to 24s.;
Canadian, 25s to 26s; sour, 19s to 2ls; white and
mixed wheat ~. to 8s. per 70 lbs; red, 6s 3D. to

The belief entertained at the departure of the
last steamer that the upward tendency then indi
Gated in this market would be maintained, has,
by the terrific occurrences of the past fortnight,
been wholly dispeled, from a number of causes;
the most startling of which is the unparalleled
arrangement of the money market The price
of breadstuffs has gradually, but steadily, re-
trograded-the only article which has preserv-
ed its firmness being Indian corn. A slackened
demand has, of course, materially contributed to
this result, but this cause must be regarded as
merely temporary. At the London Corn Ex-
change yesterday, the arrivals of English grain
were small, owing to which, and the unusually
large attendance of purchasers, the demand was
somewhat active at an advance of from two
shllings per quarter upon the previous Mondays
quotations. Notwithstanding the large supplies
again brought forward, an average amount of
business was done, and the market closed firmly.
THE COTTON MARKET.

fair 81 to 81; Sea Island ordinary to middling Sd
to lOl fair to.good fair liz to IA; good to fair Is
TO IS; stained ranges from to 3d. The prices
| of cotton since our last advices have, it will be
observed, seriously .receded; circumstance in
| disputably resulting from the aggravated condi-
ton of the money market, and the consequent
| improbability, save in the rarest instances, of
| obtaining accommodation.
The universal panic which has seized upon
tie manufacturers, and the total extinction OF
every thing like speculative effort in the lower
qualities, particularly the decline, is more Sc
verely felt, and operations, since the arrival of
the Caledonia, have been of the most limited
character. The sales for the week, ending the
lst instant, were about $1,000 bales; of which
800 only were on speculation, and 1000 for eX-
port. On Saturday, the I'd instant, the sales
were about 3OOo and yesterday 1000 were dis
posed of, all the consumers speculation being
entirely suspended, and the demand being dis
proportioned to the supply.

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
The fearful condition of mercantile and none
tary affairs recorded in our last summary, and
then rapidly eliminating to point Of distress
and arrangement rarely reached by the organs
Of commercial vision, has within the last fort
night become wildly developed in all its dis.
astrous reality. One after another, has failure
followed npon failure, each one vibrating
