Later by the Cambria.
The royal mail steamer Cambria brings dates
from Liverpool to the 18th inst, and thirty four
passengers.
The Cambria arrived at Liverpool on her out
ward passage at 10 o'clock on Sunday night the
lst inst.
The news the Cambria brings is important
both commercially and politically. Business in
England was generally improving.
ENGLAND
The British Parliament was Opened-by the
Queen in person on the Sd instant III, Males
ty in her speech, says that all her relations with
foreign powers are of the most friendly charac-
ter and refers to the probable completion Of n
treaty between Germany and Denmark, and calls
attention TO the recent outrages in Ireland, prom
isng attention to their moro eilectual suppress
sion. She also alludes to the satisfactory state
of the public revenue, and, in conclusion, directs
attention to the proposed amendments in the
reform bill, with reference to parliamentary rep
resentation.
In the House of Commons, Sir Benjamin Hall
asked for an explanation of the cause which led
to Lord Palmerston's resignation.
Lord John Russell Immediately replied that
Lord Palmerston was refractory, and treated the
Queens ihterrogatories with disrespect acting
independently of his colleagues, and unreserv-
edly approving the recent coup d'etat of Louis
Napoleon.
Lord Palmerston replied at some considerable
length, which, though damaging his late col
leagues, did not improve his own position. He
paid willing and merited enogium on the char.
ncter of Mr.. Lawrence, the American minister at
London.
In the House of Lords nothing ofmoment had
transpired.
The Earl of Derby, in his speech on the
Queens address, implied his appreciation of Ma
poleon's course. He condemned the ministers
for not enforcing the ecclesiastical bill, and
demanded protection for the interests Of agricul-
ture.'
The late heavy floods had caused great disas-
ter
Father Mathew had been seriously indis.
posed. but at last accounts was deemed GONZALES

FRANCE.
The tranquility of France was still preserved
and pretty general submission to the new order
of things was apparent.
NJ. Dupin has inscribed his name on the list
of advocates at the court of appeals.
ITALY.
The Hial of the Naroltans for the revolt Of
May, 1913, drags slowly on. The proceedings
are shid very nnch to resemble burlesque
under the name of justice.
BELGIUM.
From Brussels, we learn that the Bulletin
Francais had been seized, and that legal pro-
cecdings had been instituted against its proprie-
tors.
The overland mail, with later Bombay dates,
4 "A I'LL
vailed in tho Northwest frontier, and force
was on its march from kunachee towards the
Upper Seinde. intending to attack Near Ali Mou-
ran, should he prove refractory, and refuse to
surrender the territory he has so long held by
fraudulent pretensions.
Accounts from Kabul state that Mahomed
Khan had been seized and sent into the Ormeer
district by Ahem Khan. A money crisis had
taken place in the capital of the Nigaur, and
credit had fallen TO n very low ebb.
The affairs in the Dude were very unsatisfac-
tory. The King had given up to debauchery,
and his ministers to corrupt practices. Trade
Mt Bombay was quiet, but rates for piece goods
unfavorabe. The money market, however, was
easier, and discounts low.
