THREE DAYS LATER NEWS
ALL PARTS OF EUROPE.
ALL PARTS OF EUROPE.

The Cambria, Captain Harrison, with three
days later intelligence from all parts of Europe,
arrived at Halifax Wednesday, at eleven, p.
NJ, and sailed for Boston at one o'clock on
Thursday morning. She arrived at Boston at
half-psst nine O'Clock yesterday.
Our special express pigeons were on the wing
early this morning, and reached Boston about
thirty minutes in advance of the steamer. They
brought the markets and part of the Irish news.
The advices from Liverpool, are of the 23d ult.
Continental politics continue to exercise mos
injurious influence upon the commerce of thi'
country; and the strange turn that events take on
the other side of the channel is so sudden and
unaccountable, that the most experienced find
themselves In doubt and uncertainty as to what is
to follow.
Under these circumstances, it is not surprising
to find gradual dimlnution of business in the
manufacturing districts, and tendency in prices to
recede.
The feeling prevailing at the Manchester mar
ket on Tuesday, was more gloomy and responding
than for some weeks past; and strong opinion
was advanced that many of the factories would
again have recourse to short time.
Our accounts, received up to the moment of the
steamers leaving, report continuance of the de-
preston, notwithstanding the ratification of the
armistice between Denmark and Prussia, by the
National Assembly at Frankfort.
Manufacturers and spinner are firm in their de-

gloomy than in Manchester The business done
In the cotton market has not been animated, and
prices have had farther downward tendency.
Fair New Orleans and Mobile are quoted at Id.
per pound lower; but, with these exceptions,
the quotations remain unchanged, and, at the
same time, the demand is so freely met by hold
ers that it is impossible to sell quantity at the
current rates Fair Orleans are quoted at 4kd; fair
Upland, AID; fair Mobile, at 4d per lb.; mid
ding, SID. 3ld. per ID. The sales for the week
are q, OsO bales, OF which exporters have taken
1920, and spectators 500 bales
The corn market has been somewhat more firm,
but this arises more from the fact that the prevail
ing easterly winds have kept out supplies than
from any other cause, and the intelligence received
by the last steamer from the United States is cal
culated to check any tendency that prices might

harvest, and the ripenlng of the potato crop; and
the fear of the deGciency Of food, and the neces-

than it was week or two since.
Tallow fully maintains the advance noted IN
our last. Rather more business has taken place
in rice, and IN some cases,a few days ago, slight
Improvement was effected, which, however, has
since been lost.

AT the time OF the sailing OF the America, there
was considerable excitement IN Ireland, and a
strong feeling prevailed IN some quarters that
real rebellion had broken out in the South. we
had very little doubt but that the disturbance would
turn out TO be unlmportan and that lts character
would have more OF a social than political COM
