The Cambria, Capt. Shannon, with dates from
Paris to the evening of the 3lst ult., and London
and Liverpool papers of the I'd inst, arrived at Ha-
lfax at little before noon, yesterday.
Her news was Immediately despatched to this
city by your agent
The horse express made the run to Granville
Point in ten hours and the express steamer arrived
here at twenty minutes past four o'clock this
ing, having been detained over an hour in getting
into the harbor IN consequence oft the smoke which
has enveloped all this section of the country for
several days, and is not less objectional than the
thickest tog.
The Cambria brought sixty-nlne passengers,
thirteen of whom stopped at Halifax.
She was to have sailed for New York at about
two o'clock, and will be due at her wharf at late
hour on Friday night.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable accounts which
still continue to be received from the continent,
better feeling has been manifested in all depart
ments Of business, since the departure of the last
steamer, though no marked Improvement can be
noticed as having taken place. The constantly
increasing disquietudes of Continental Europe
continued to affect trade and impart to other
markets degree of unsteadiness if not alarm,
which renders it impossible to calculate with any
reasonable accuracy upon the value of produce for
week at a time.
The steamer America, from New York, made
the passage in liz days-the quickest on record.
The packet ships Montezuma and Patrick Harry
arrived at Liverpool ON the 10Th, having made the
passage In 10 days.
The Anglo Saxon arrived on the 3lst.
There has been no further debate In Parliament
on Canadian affairs, and the business transacted
since the Whitsun recess, is devoid of general
interest. Notice has been given that the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer would make his financial
statement on the 18th inst, which was anxiousy
looked for.
In the London market, money can be obtained
on easy terms. Discounts are liberal for good
paper of second class traders, that class being
held in a sounder condition than spectators in
produce.
American securities continue IN good demand
both in London and on the continent. United
States stock command higher rates, and some sales
were made on Friday at 1l0i, and not much offer
ing Prices for the stocks of paying States were
stiff.
The stock market has generally been firm during the
week. Consols throughout the week, up to Friday
ranged at sOk sOh for money, and on Friday
Ing after having reached OH, closed at ooh 9oH
The account fixed for the 18th Of July and for
that period they left Of at ok Bank stock closed at
1881 a 1875.
In the foreign market little business has been done
with the exception Of Spanish which is shade better
Affairs IN lreland-Terrible Sufrcrings
Among the People.
Lord Clarendon has returned to Dublin.
Up to the departure of the steamer, the govern
4 r.
the final disposal of the state prisoners under SEN
tence of death for high treason. AS an evidence
of the extreme destitution and misery which exists
in Ireland, it is stated that shipwrecked human
body, having been cast ashore, the corpse was
actually consumed by the starving inhabitants of
the vicinity.
A statement to this effect, in Parliament,
was contradicted in part by the government,
yet the fact is beyond dispute, that at no previous
time has sickness, intense misery, and starvation,
been more general than it is now.
The cholera has broken out in Dublin, and still
continues its ravages in many parts of the country
Important from the French Republic-Tre-
mendous Excitement I'm the New National
Assembiy-The Critical Position OF the
Government, &c.
The dissolution of the French National Assem-
bly, took pace on the 18th, and passed over with
out tumult The new Legislative Assembly met
for the transaction of business on the 18th, and,
on the Both, was the scene Of of the most vio-
lent debates that ever occurred in any delibera-
tive body.
Upon close analysis Of the result Of the late
election, 1t appears that there about 2lO, at
most 24O, ultra democratic members, which is
something more than double the number that they
were expected to elect, and will give them vastly
greater influence in the present than they possessed
in the old Assembly. There are rising Of 500 MEM
bers elected by the various other parties; but they
are so split up and divided in sentiment, that it is
considered doubtful about their being able to unite
upon leading questions of public policy. Personal
disputes among the leading members of the several
parties would seem to give small promise that the
President will be able to select ministry strong
enough to carry on the government with that de-
arce Of frmness much to be desired.
Marshal Bugeaud is still spoken of as most GER
tain to be placed at the head of the ministry.
A motion, on the last day of the late Assembly,
