FOREIGN NEWS.
ARRIVAL OF THE STEINER CAMBRIA
The Cunard steamer Cambria, Capt. Har-
rison, arrived at Boston at an early hour
Friday morning from Liverpool, bringing
English advices to the 23d ult.
ENGLAND.
The following is from the European
Times of Sept. %:
LIVERPOOL, Sept 23d.
Continental politics continue to exercise
most injurious influence upon the COM
merce of this country; and the strange turn
that events take on The other side Of the
channel are so sudden and unaccoun,ab!e
that the most experienced find themselves
in doubt and uncertainty as TO wha. is 10
follow.
Under these circumstances, it is not sur
prising to find gradually diminishing bust
ness in manufacturing districts, and ten
dency in prices TO recede. The feeling
prevailing in the Manchester market on
Tuesday was more gloomy and desponding
than for some weeks past, and strong
opinion is advanced that many Of the facto-
rles would again have recourse to shor,
time. Our accounts, received up to the
moment of the steamer leaving, repor, a
continuance Of the depression, notwith-
standing the ratification Of the armistice be-
tween Denmark and Prussia, by the Nation
al Assembly at Frankfort. Manufacturers
are firm in their demands as regards prices,
and in consequence there has been no gen.
eral reduction; but in some cases. were
forced sales have been made. lower prices
have been accepted, both for goods and
yarns. The feeling in Liverpool is no,
much less g loomy than at Manchester, and
but little business is doing.
The Cotton market has not been animal
eG, and prices have had further downward
tendency.
The Corn market has been more firm
This arises more from the fact that the pre-
vailing easterly winds have kept out sup
plies than from any other cause: and the
intelligence received by the last steamer
from the United States is calculated to
cheek any tendency tina, prices might have
to advance. 100000 bushels Indian corn
may be expected to be landed in this coan-
try within month from this time, to say
nothing Of -four and other articles, large
quantities of which we are advised of hav-
ing been shipped.
Indian corn, 35a37s. Corn meal 19s
Sweet flour, 32a33s. 3d.; sour 20 3Os.
Wheat Sass. per 20 lbs. The duty on
wheat is now 3D. per Dr., and on flour Is.
Sd. per bbl.
The weather has continued fine during
the week for securing the balance Of the
harvest, and the ripening of the potato crop,
but the fear of a deficiency of food and ne
cessity. are excessive. Imports are much
less general than they were week or two
since. Tallow fully maintains the advance
noted in our last. Rather more business in
Rice. A few days ago slight improvement
was effected, but has since been lost.
The position of the money market has
not materially changed, but there has been
an improved feeling in the share market.

The London Globe of Sept Cd, says:
PARIS, (Thursday noon,) Sept. 81.
1t is almost impossible to describe the
gloom which has spread over the public
mind here. Every body seems 10 think iha,
Gen. Cavaignac and the National Assembly
will find it impossible to establish a repub-
lie, and yet nobody knows how it is to be
god rid Of without conflict, which none
of the friends of order are willing to engage
H.. Ifitis TO be overlhrown, il will probably
be by some sudden event-probably mil.
tary conspiracy. The intentions of Gen
Cavaignac are believed to be excellent, and
such republic as he would give us, the
enlightened view ofthe country would will
ingly accept; but they have not the energy
required 10 second his efforts.
