NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
A WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE.

The steamship Cambria arrived at Boston OF
3Oth ult She left Liverpool on the 18th ultimo.
The commercial news by this arrival is not very
favorable. The cotton market continued dull ant
depressed, and on some descriptions there had been
slight decline. There was no prospect Of i'm
provement. The corn markets were also dull and
prices receding. The weather continued favorable
for the growing crops, and consequently there was
no speculation in the market. The reports from
the manufacturing districts represent that trade
therein continues gloomy and discouraging. Money
confined abundant.
The annexed letter OF our London Correspond
emf gives general view of the political news.
LONDON, JUNE Is, ls4S.
No ne,o political revolution has occurred during
the past geek. France still calls herself repub-

fidence. Charism is downint the lowest depths
the Whitmonday demonstration was a most COM
pete failure and /, among other wiseacres, who in
ferred danger because there was mystery, am now
enlightened by the knowledge that nothing was pre-
viously discovered, simply because there was no.

semblance of disorder either in London or else
where during the week. Several of the leaders OF
previous disturbances are now in Newgate, and the

going on steadily and firmly; at least meetings to
petition the House of Commons for the reforms
advocated by Mr.. HUME have been held, or are now
being held, in of the principal towns IN Great
Britain. His motion comes on next Tuesday.
Parliament has not been In session during the
week. The last business before the Heuse OF Com
