The Royal Mail Steamship Cambria.
from Liverpool, Saturday, Dec. 2Eth,
arrived at her wharf in this city. at Z
o'clock. last evening.
Two great events had transpired in
the course Of few days preceding the
departure Of the Cambria. each capable
Of seriously influencing the character Of
all commercial operations.
Fist, the resignation OF the Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, in England, and
Second, the election Of Louis Napo-
leon, as President Of France for ten years
by very large majority.
The resignation OF Lord Palmerstown,
caused temporary arrangement of the
various markets, and decline of prices
in many occurred but when it becam'
known that Lord Granville was to sue,
coed Lord Palmerston. confidence be-
came in some measure restored.
The sudden retirement of Lord Pal.
merston from the Office of Foreign Secre-
tary, eau ed the greatest amazement and
most profound regret of the whole ma
ton. His successor. it is officially an
nounced, is Lord Granville.
The withdrawal of Lord Palmerston
from the Government, is imputed to the
discussions which have been known to
exist in the Cabinet for several months
past, and was, probably precipitated BY
the significant reception and emphatic
avowal Of opinion to the Kossuth depu.
tation. by no means complimentary to the
absolutists Of Europe. The fearless pc
sition assumed by his Lordship, proved
distasteful to the majority of the minis
tiers, and hence the result. This has
been the all-prevailing topic Of oonysr>
sation at this festive season, end has GRE
ated universal sensasions
The under Secretary, Lord Stanley.
had also rendered his resignation.
Among the rumored causes Of Lord
Palmerston's sece .sion from the Cabinet,
was that OF difference of opinion upon
the abstract question of the French
Revolution, though the mystery is not
likely to be revealed before the meet
ing of Parliament.
1t would appear that the return Of
many Irish emigrants to their own
country, had attracted considerable at.
tention in Ireland. as in very many in
stances the expectations entertained had
not been, by any means. realized. The
Irish were congratula.ing themselves
upon it, and regarded it as ground Of
hope.

Paris, states that the Queen of Spain

Many of the Deputies had been sci
at liberty, and much speculation was in:
dulged in as to the new Press law, TO be
shortly promulgated. The best infor-
med persons think that each journal will
have to deposit a certain sum witll.the
Government as security for good beha
