Proceedings in Parliament Fall In the
q Price of Grain--DiStress in Ireland and
BE- Prussia. s}ae s1dI .rsftt
The Royal Mail Steamer Cambria, Capt
Jndkins, arrived at Boston on Saturday, at
10 O'clock, P. NJ, bringing Liverpool dates
TO the 9TH instant. She bad rather bois-
ferrous passage. Her news is of much inn
poftance, politically and commercially.
Three leading measures had been brought
forward in parliament to mitigate the dis
tress which continued TO prevail and to in
crease extensively in Ireland and Scotland
viz: 1st. to remit all duties on Grain in the
different ports in the kingdom. I'd, the en-
tire suspension of the Navigation Laws du-
ring the continuance of tho scarcity of food
3d. to abolish or remit the duties on colIoni-
al and foreign grown sugars. 1t is thought
these measures if carried out, would materi-
ally contribute to mitigate the distress from
scarcity of bread and high Prices of food.
Directly after the departure of the Sarah
Sands the Flour and Grain Markets exhibit
ed decidedly downward tendency, and
decline was soon caused by the very arrivals
At the date of the Cambria's sailing, the
stock of Flour in Liverpool was estimated
at FIVE hundred thousand barrels, and the a.
mount of Grain On hard, free aud in bond,
was proportionably large. The arrivals of
Indian corn had also been large The down
ward tendency of the Flour and Grain mar
kets was not checked on the 18th inst.
The decline in Flour is reported at shil-
lngs per Dbl. .
ls On Indian Corn the decline is shillings
per or. (4S0Ibs.) s.a iaq
From the Circular of the 29th ult. to the
sailing of the Cambria, the market for Cot
ton has been in quiet state, rather dull
and heavy, with concession of about l-Sd
on America. The tendency of the marke;
was downward. The sales were limited.
va The market for Iron was not SO brisk as
it had previously been. Prices of Pig we're
hardly supported, but manufactured Iron OF
alt descriptions was fully as high, and pri-
ces are maintained.
The distress of Ireland and also in Scot
land from the scarcity of food, continued
and was rather on the increase notwithstan-
ding very large sums of money had been
subscribed in all parts of England, for their
relief.
A number of deaths from starvation are re-
ported and disease was making many vic
Tins among the furnished population.
accounts are Published of more disturban,
ces ia districts where food is scarsest, and il
would appear that FAMINE, in all ITS hor
rors were impending over and threatning
the devoted Irish. .'1.s
The news and accounts from Prussia are
almost as distressing as those from Ireland

that Kingdom; and deaths were occurring fo
want of substance. The Government wa
doing all its power to furnish support.
The state of the destitute portions ofScot
land does not appear TO attract near so mucl
attention as Ireland, probably on account o
the overwhelming magnitude of the calam
ity which has fallen ON millions of the Irisl
in comparison with some hundred thousan
of the Scotch. ~.
1t is hoped the people of the United State
will not be backward in coming 10 their re
