ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.

The steamer Cambria, which sailed
from Liverpool on the 2sth, arrived at
Jersey city on the 18th, bringing seven
days later intelligence from Europe.
Commercial affairs in England, are
decidedly improving, and prices OF
breadstuffs are slightly advancing
The corn market was firm and prices
higher than at the time the Britannia
sailed.
Tie elections in France passed of

support I.amartine, were ahead
France is tranquil, but plots are form

In Lombardy affairs remain unchang-
ed. No battle has yet been fought.
The Sicilian House Of Commons, al.
ter discussing the propriety Of calling
Prince from Tuscany or Saxony to the
throne, finally decided the Ferdinand
and Bourbon dynasty had forever fall.
en-, and that Sicily could govern herself
by the aid Of a constitution.
This decision caused great rejoicing
at Palermo, and the city was brilliantly
illuminated for three nights in success
sion. All the statues OF the Bourbon
family were pulled down to be convert
ed into cannon.
The accounts from Baden Gn Ger
many are depIorable in the extreme
The accounts say that the insurgents
(RepubIicans) professed a willingness to
capitulatc, and Gen. Gargoin advanced
from the ranks to parley with them.--
They refused TO listen, and as he retired
he was treacherously shot and fell NOR

their commander thus basely murdered,
fell upon and routed the insurgents
with great slaughter. 81"

The general aspect Of European

Nothing new from Ireland. The
government is prepared for an out

Parliament, intended by strong meas

Ireland, has had the contrary effect
It's tendency is to increase, rather than
allay political excitement, and it is cal
