Arrival Of the Cambria.
FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM BINGHAM

The steamship Cambria, Capt. Judkins, from Liver
pool 4th nst arrived yesterday afternoon, at o'clock
She arrived at Halifax on Sunday at o'clock, and
left at l. A. NJ, on Monday morning She had con-
hnua gales and head winds, and was unable to carry
any canvass during the voyage. The Cambria had 10
passengers to Halifax where she landed SO and took
on board 9, making l34 in all. She brings about
100000 in specie.
The first intelligence looked for by the steamer is
the state of the markets. The panic in bread stutis
had subsidized. Flour had fallen from three to four
shillings barrel during the month, and the decline in
corn meal was in still greater proportion. A large
business had been done in American provisions, at
good prices.
With the giving way in the corn market, there was
observable frmness in cotton, although the article
had undergone some fluctuations. AS our previous ac
counts have stated, the market in the early part of
March was dull and somewhat declining, but arrivals
from the United States the 24th with accounts to
the 9th had given buoyancy to the Market and this,
added to better and more encouraging accounts from
the manufacturing districts induced manufacturers,
specuators, and exporters to operate to greater
tent and enabled holders to regain the reduction which
was established Prices of American were very little
different from those current when the llibenia sailed
in fact they were considered about 18d for fair in IA
yor of the buyer. The sales for export to the CONT
nent were proportonably large.
The London money market was not easy the bank

but very few of the best bills were discounted at the
lower quotation. The fall in -four and grain was look
ed upon a favorable symptom in the money market
i The reports from the manufacturing districts Of En-
gland and Scotland do not contain such gloomy state
l ments as those last noticed The change which has
taken PLACE in the markets throughout the king
dom has impaired more confidence the part of man
utac.urers, which, added to an increased foreign de-
mand affords just grounds for expecting that have
passed the worst point and that ere long, we shall be
able to announce that our wooden aud Gotten machines
are employed full time, filing up numerous and remit
neratng orders. At Manchester there is more conf
dence prevailing and more extensive purchases have
been made both in cloth and yarn, but only at late pr-
Ces. The accounts from the wooden districts of an
improving character.
The proposition to throw open the coasting trade Of
Great Britain to vessels of all nations continues to be
entertained, and the latest paper says:" The COM
mercu world are deeply interested in the select com
= mittee which is now sitting on the Navigation Laws
section of the shp-owners in favor of these laws
but the great body are either inimca or Indifferent to
J. their continuance"

o. Dublin, March 29.-Therc are very unfavomblc ac
counts of the spread of the pestence in tue county
~ Sligo, where the discharge of laboers from the pub
lie works has greatly augmented the general destiu
ton. Nothing could be worse than the conduct of til
landlords OF that county, as described by the Sig
- Champion, whose previous statements on the subeC
have received no contradiction, With tue eXcepto
y of few, the landed proprioors of that county, it
10 stated, are doing little nothing for the relief of tn
destitute, but, on the contrary, proceeding to eX
tremltles for the recovery of their rents
Dublin, April lit will be learned with gratica

stirring Themselves and taking active measures to pro

and have also penetrated into districts unheard Of be
cause they have none to interest themselves on thel
behalf but which, on that very account are the more
necessous. You can form no conception of the stat
of the country. Tho most dreadful aspect, however
which 1t presents, is the supne apathy, dependence

q Hundreds and thousands seem to have laid themselves
" down to die, without making single effort to surmoun

makes it worse the public press and the authorities are

paper towards the last of March put forth certain state
