ARRIVAL OF THE
STEAMSHIP CAMBRIA.

The steamship Cambria, Captain Harrison'
from Liverpool, arrived at Boston at u O'CLOCK
on Friday morning.
The Cambria left Liverpool on the nth
instant, arrived at Halifax on the 2sth, and
left again the same day for this port. She
had sixty-six passengers from Liverpool TO
Boston, and eight from Halifax to Boston
Commercial.
The commercial news by this arrival is
not very favorable The cotton market con-
,inued dull and depressed, and on some de-
scriptions there had been slight decline
There was no prospect of improvement.
The corn market was also dull and prices
were recedinr, The weather continued IA
vorable for the growing crops, and conse-
uuen,ly there was no speculation in the mar
ket The reports from the manufacturing
districts of England and Scotland do not inn
prove. and trade there continued gloomy and
dscouraging.
Money continued abundant. First class
bills now discounted at per cent. The
Bank of England reduced its rate from to
81 per cent. From all parts of Great Britain,
the accounts in relation TO the growing crops
are cheering in the highest degree. The
weather continued of the most favorable char
acter forcing them forward with great rapidi-
ty and luxurianee.
England.
Though the weather has for some time
been, and still continues favorable for the
growing grain crops expectations as to the
probable result OF this years harvest are GER
tainly not sanguine. Even wheat, decidedly
the best crop of any, is not very favorabiy
spoken of, and all spring corn and pulse is
believed to have been SO much injured By
the drought in May as to render good yield
almost impossible. Within the last few
days there have been vague reports of the
potatoes showing symptoms of disease, but as
yet we have, we are happy to say, had no
evidence of Il character to induce us TO be-
lieve that there is any foundation TO appre-
hend a recurrence of the disorder by which
this crop has been visited the last few years
The private letters from the United States
by the Caledonia are very discouraging, as
they intimate that the importations for the
fall trade are likely to be very light. The
nomination of General Cass, as the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, was calculated
TO affect prices unfavorably, from his we'll
known hostility to England, manifested while
he was in France, and also in the United
States Senate, by his motion 10 seize the
whole of Oregon. A strong belief, however
prevailed that Gen. Taylor will be success
full.
The unexpected return of Prince Louis Ma
poleon for Paris as well as for the depart
ment of fonnc, the Sarthe, and the lower
Charente, has caused great embarrassment tc
the Government. Having already admitted
three members of the Bonaparte family into
the Assembly, it is difficult to find decent
pretext for the exclusion of fourth, who,
though pretender against the government of
Louis Philippe, sets himself up now as a
sincere Republican.
The chief subject of discussion in political
circles and the source of serious alarm to the
Republican parties, is the diffusion of the
spirit of imperialism throughout the country,
but more especially in the army. Several
regiments have shouted "Vive rEmpereur ~
many more have cried s'Vive Louis Napo-
leon ~ When the name of Louis Napoleon
was announced from the steps of the Hotel
de Vile, the military VINO were on the place
raised their caps on the tops OF their bayon-
cts in token of exultation.
