HALIrAx, January "a, 1851.
! The American mail steamer Arctic Captain
Luce, from Liverpool. January IL, arrived here
| shortly after eleven this morning, and viii sail
| for New York during the evening. She has thirty
five passengers, and has full freight OF valuable
goods.
The America arrived at liverpool on Monday
| afternoon, the 7th instant.
| The cotton market was dull, with dropping
| appearance. Prices, though not actually lower
than by the Asla'5 advice6, are yet much ess hrm,
| especially in middling and lower descriptions Of
American. The weekly sales are stated at 2s 76O
bales. Spectators took about 800, and exported
| 900 bales.

| In the provision market there is more business
doing, especially in beef good qualities, new, com
| manding full rates. The high rates for pork have
| checked business, but the advance is likely to be
sustained. There is moderate demand for new
bacon. Really fine commands extreme rates. Old
hams move slowly; no new in the market No
| shoulders in the market. The demand for lard is
not extensive, but holders have established an ad
| vance of sixpcnce. Fine cheese readily at
| full prices Tallow is barely supported.
FINANcIAL AFFAIns.-Formal notice has been
given that the Bank of En- gland will not further ad
vance its rates of interest. The effect has becn
| with the payments of dividends, TO make the mo-
| ney market much easier. The last report given
gives account OF bullion in the bank at tre less
| than ETA, 100000 English securities have been
| well supported and there has been an increased
demand for American stocks. Exchanges having
| improved, more paper ID offered than Tor some
time past Bullion, therefore, is in less request,
and can scarcely be disposed of. Late dates from
| the continent, and advices show advancing rate
in the quotations of exchange. Gold coin has also
further advanced. Consols opened on Wednesday

Great excitement had prevailed at Paris during
the week, in consequence Of the resignation, en-
masse, of the ministry This caused, first, by
! open hostility of the President towards General
Changarnier, who, in defiance Of the earnest pro-
testatlon Of the ministry, givan permission on
the instant. Gen. Changsrnier defended his con-
duct before the Assembly. Both the Right and Left
| warmly applauded the General, when the ministry
abruptly withdrew, and with equal abruptness re-
| signed in body. The President experienced great
! difficulty in the formation of new Cabinet, M.
Barrot having refused to accept office.
! This state Of things continued for nearly week,
when, as we learn from teiegraphic despatch, da-
! ted Paris, Friday evening, kindly furnished by
Captain Luce, that the Monifeur appeared with the
Presdent's speech, and the official announcement
of Drouyn dc l'Huys for Foreign Affairs, and Gene
/ raj Regnaud des Jean d'Angley, for the War or
fice, with new appointments, also, of Minister OF
/ Marine. Public Works and Commerce.
Another decree, signed by the Ministers of the
Interior and of War,is published, and revokes the
decree by which the National Guard and the troops
! Of the first division united under one com
mand. The effect of this decree is to abolish the
post heretofore held by General Changarner.
General Perriot takes command of the National
| Guard, and the troops of the first division to
| be commanded by General Paraguay d'Hilers
| He enters upon his duty by general orders TO the
army of Paris in which he explains the object of
his mission, and states that he will maintain the
discipline which his predecessor had established
He also states that he will uphold the authority
tablished by the constitution, and give his ener-
| getic support in the execution of the laws.
! postscript to the despatch, under date of seven
O'Clock, states that motion had been made in the
! Assembly that the members should retire to their
! bureaus to choose commission TO prepare resolu-
tons expressive OF the feeling of the legislature in
regard 10 recent events, which motion carried
against the active opposition OF the ministry by "a
vote OF 800 TO 253. Great confusion is stated to
have prevailed in the Assembly after the declara-
! ton of the vote.

/ Germany.
In regard to the German question, though there
are many probable and improba bic rumors, nothing
is actually known, the purposes of the conferences
at Dresden being kept scrupulously secret, which,
it is judged, is not n favorable augury. The tone
of triumph which pervades the bearing of Prince
| Schwarzcnberg and the growing hostilities OF the
| Chambers Of Berlin, which met on the Sd instant,
are also named rs evidences of an unsatisfactory
state of the negotiations. At the latest dates 9Th
instantly Prince Schwarzenberg' g mission to Vienna
lie stated to have failed of its intended object. The
| Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia have
| agreed TO meet at Dresden about the middle of the
month.
| The commissioners to arrange the difficulties be-
| tween the Duchies had arrived at Rensburg, and
at the latest date had given the authorities three
| days to consider what course they would pursue.
| Meantime the government and the peoples repre-.
| scntatives, in Wurtemburg, at loggerhcads up
on the subject of voting the supplies; and there ap-
pears 10 be q PROBABILITY that u second edition oi
the Hesse Cassel affair will finally be enacted in that
small territory.
Rome.
/ The accounts from Rome, and the vicinity o
Mazzini and other Italian refugees gives no reason
| TO doubt but that any serious difficulty at Paris
would be instantly seized upon to unfurl the re-
publican banner in the Holy city, where the French
soldiers have become obnoxious that they are in
Discriminatory asoassinated by the citizens every
possible occasion.
Prussia.
BERLIN, Jan. 6.--The reports Of the impending
resignation Of the Minister of Commerce assumed
greater probability. The policy of protection j:
now wholly rejected by the government.
Spain.
From Spain we have nothing beyond the usua
weekly statement the resignation of the Narvae2
cabinet, which this time was caused by the queens
having received that gentleman coldly.
