more, for the papers in that city of the 18th
inst, from the American of which date we
lake the following:
The British mail-steamer Cambria, Captain
Harrison, with dates from Liverpool to the 4th
inst, was telegraphed below Boston at an ear
" hour yesterday morning, and the fact imme-
diately transmitted to this city by Magnetic
Telegraph. She arrived at the wharf about
one O'Clock, when our attentive correspondent
forwarded to us, through the Telegraph, the
following synopsis Of European news

died at Genoa on the 18th day of May. He
has directed his heart to be deposited in Rome,
and his body to be buried in Ireland.
Lord BesbOrough is succeeded, as Lord Lieu
tenant of Ireland, by Lord Clarendon.
DR.. Chalmers, the eminent Theologian, died
suddenly on Monday last.
&ipwreek-The American ship Mary Allen,
Capt. Dearborn, has been totally lost, with
three Of her crew. She sailed from Wampoa
on the Sd Of February for new York, with a
full cargo, chiefly teas. On the 9th of the
same month the remainder Of the crew arrived
at Singapore.
The first meeting of the Irish Council, a
confederation of all classes for national purpo-
ses, had been held. 1t processes to combine
Irishmen of every grade and section of opin-
ion, to watch over the rights and interests Of
the common country; to mirror its want and
wishes; and to create, foster and d~evelope a
sound Irish opinion, irrespective Of party.
NnGneiaL-The financial prospects of the
country are on the whole exceedingly animat-
ing, The disposition which the Bank of Eng
land lately evinced to discount more freely be-
came more largely developed, and a greater
degree Of confidence has been impaired to all
branches Of trade, The weekly returns pub
lished on Friday, 28th ult., show the amount
of notes in actual circulation on the week end
ing the god ult, including seven day and other
bills, to have been Gl9,578,283. The amount
of gold and silver coin and bullion in the hands
of the bank, was G9,948,63O, showing an in
crease of G786,4OO.
PrOuisiOns.-The supply is generally fair, but
the demand languid, Beef is not plentiful,
nor is it In much demand. Butter and cheese
maintain a fair price, and the consumption has
been usually great within the last three months.
Hams are generally dull, with a tendency to
the accumulation of inferior stock. Altogeth-
er there is no disposition to operate largely in
provisions.
Liverpool Cotton MarkeL-The tone Of this
market since the departure Of the last steamer
has materially improved, The apprehension
Of short receipts, and of the backward season
for-the growing crop, have caused the decided
advance. The improvement is likewise in a
great measure attributable to the greater ease
in the money market; so, on the whole, the
condition and prospect Of the Cotton trade
presents a very encouraging prospect.
The sales Of the week ending the 28th ult,
amounted to $4,000 bales. Upland descriptions
rated at SD. to ID; Orleans, SD. to 8Ad,
Alabama and Mobile, SD. to It'd; Sea Island
I2Ad. to 204d. per pound. East India is quot
ed at I'd. to i'd. higher since the last steamer,
The market retains an unquestiOnably firm
character, and inquiries from the trade are
more than ordinarily general.
In the Manchester market there is an obvi-
GUS desire to purchase, but the ascending dis
position of our market has checked transac-
lions and led to the REIMBURSEMENT of heavy
contracts, which would otherwise be accepted.
The orders executing for the United States
were heavier than have been known for many
years.
