REMARKS.-Since our last Report the steamer
Cambria has arrived at New York from Liverpool
with a weeks later advccs from the European Con

news is of stirring interest," and shows distinctly that
the affairs of Europe not in quiet state notwith-
standing unwearicd efforts making by those pac
Gcaly disposed to bring about a general peace. Ire
land is disturbed, and much excitement exists be-
tween the Government and the rebellions party-and
blood has been shcd-but whether it has been only
in sirmshng, between scouting parties, or in san
culinary battle between the main armies, will require
the by the next steamer (hc Brltannia) now
due, decidc.-The commercial adviccs by the
Cambria present no new feature OF interest in the
English market, prices of Indian Corn and Meal were
somewhat lower, owing mainly to the favorable APP
pearance of the Potato crop in Ireland, for which these
