Distress in Ireland and Prussia.
The Royal Mail Steamer Cambria, Capt.
Judkins, arrived at Boston on Saturday, at
10 o'clock p. NJ, bringing Liverpool dates
to the 4th ult. She had rather a boisterous
passage. Her news is Of much Importance,
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 ell
tire suspension oftLre Navigation Laws dur
ing the continuance of the scarcity Of food.
Sd, to abolish or remit the duties on COL
lonial and foreign grown sugars. It il
thought these measures if carried out. would
materially contribute TO mitigate the distress
from scarcity Of bread and higl. prices ct
fool.
Directly after the departure of the Sarah
Sands, the flour and grain markets exhibited
a decidedly downward tendency, and a de-
cline was soon eau<od by th" worry heavy
arrivals. Atthe date Of the Cambria's sail
ing, the stock of flour for Lii, eIpool was
estimated at five hundred thousand barrels,
and the amount of grain on hands free and
in bond, was proportionably large, The
arrivals Of Indian corn have also be ell large.
The downward tendency Of the -four and
grain market was not checked on tie 18th
inst.
The decline in bur is reported at l
s~iiIlingS per barrel.
On Indian corn the decline is / shillings-
per or. (lSO poundS.)
From the circular of the 18th ult. to TIE
sailing Of the Cambria, the market for cot
ton has been in IL quiet state, rather dull
and heavy, with Il concession Of ai:unt I'D
on American. The tendency nfthc market
was downward. The sales were limited.
The market for Iron was not 50 brisk as
il had previously been. Prices Of Pig wcIt.
hardly supported, but manufactured fronci'
