J.ott, arrived at Boston yesterday morning at 7 o’clock, in fil- wen days and sixteen hours from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 19th November. The grain markets, both in England and on the Continent, are down. According to the accounts cotton had declined; ‘but cotton dealers on this side will think the news favorable. ‘The money market remained about the same 48 st last advices. The Bank of England rate of interest is 3 per cent. Bullion is being exported from the kingdom Free trade was progressing throughout Europe. There were rumors of ministerial dissensions in England, but they originated in the columns of papers avowedly hostile to the whig government. The uccounts which the Caledonia took out to England were considered favorable, in a com- mercial point of view, for they brought numerous orders contingent on the opening of the Ameri- oan ports under the new tariff. The accounts from America had favorably in- fluenced freights, which had been in a state of comparative stagnation at the English ports. The Hon. Geo. Bancroft has taken up his re- sidence in Eaton Square, Belgrave place, London. On the 12th ult., he dined with the Queen, at Windsor Casile; and, on the following Satarday, was, with ‘his lady, at a select party at Lord Palmerston’s, the Minister for Foreign Affairs. 5: The Prussian Charge d’Affaires to the States of North America, Baron Gerolt, had arrived at Berlin, to receive in person instructions from his government relative to a treaty of commerce and navigation to be concluded be- tween the Zolverein and the North American States. The misunderstanding between England and indeed, M. Guizot thinks the honoe of F; - ised by thas ‘rance com: Rosas even at the risk of a “litte war.” But his pug- nacious propensities are such a constant source of alarm to his unless backed by the Government of uileries, he is not likely to stir effectually.— Wilmrs’s Times, Nov. 19. American Sona Biscurts.—A new article of im- poe has recently been brought into this country rom America, called soda biscuits. Several ship ments have been made; but, as yet, the demand exceeds the supply. The biscuits are made very light, about twenty to the pound, and are of ex cellent quality, eating as fresh as if they had just left the oven. Rabi bis retailed in Liverpool at sixpence a pound; but as the supply has hitherto been chiefly from one baker, a higher price has been obtained than they could be supplied at were there competition We are informed that the maker of them has found the speculation so profitable, ,that he has resolved to build six large ovens to extend his trade. So far, he has been able to keep the business in his own hands; but we learn that several English bakers have resolv- ed to try the experiment; and, when it is stated that one barrel of flour will make three barrels of biscuits, and that the freight of'a barrel of biscuits and a barrel of flour are the same, thee seems to be every reason to think that they will successful: | ly compete with the American maker; and when it is known in the States that these biscuits area Profitable shipment, there will be more general Supplies, and a consequent reduction in price. _ Exauisn CoronzaTion 1% Borngo —In a recent sitting of the Dutch States General, the colonial minister said that the Dutch government had ne- ver wished to oppose the formation of an English settlement on the island of Labuan, as it had nev-r considered that spot within the limits gl its terri- tory. The government of the Netherlands thought that any attempt of the English to form a settle- tent on the mainland of Borneo would be contra- ry to the spirit of the treaty of 1824, though the English government viewed that treaty in a dif- ferent light. The English ministry had, however, informed the Liutch adminisiration that it had no present intention to avail itself of the right which it considered iteelt to possess of forming a setile- ment on the north coast of Borneo Entgrine vor tum Ecvapor Srsvice.—The agents for General Flores, the ex-president of the Eucador, in this country, are actively en; in entering men for the purpose of forming the projected expedition to re conquer that republic, in favor of Flores, but the real object being to es- tablish the son ef Munoz, husband of the queen dowager Maria Christina of Spain, as emperor of the Eousdor. The Spanish government is rendering every assistance, both in money and men, to carry out this adventutcus expedition, and there are already upwards of seven thousand men in depots in the north of Spain, waiting the tume of departure. In Ireland the agents had entered between three and four thousand des:i- tute fellows to join the empeneraay The same oar. is now being practised in London, and se- veral men are ay haere They do not as yet receive an: ular pay, but are provided with beer, and Heat and cheese rasions daily, unti! they embark, two steamers, now arming, having been purchased for that purpose. Loos Corton 1x Suirs.—A notice of some im- tance to the masters and officers of cotton- aden ships, has just been issued by the American Chamber of Commerce at Liverpool. Many of them, the Chamber says, are in the habit ap- France, relative to the Montpensier marriage, eontifiued to afford a vent for angry patriotism on both sides the straits of Dover. Mr. Breliner, oteWick, civil engineer, at the request of the underwriters concerned in the monster steamship Great Britain, has visited and reported jointly with Mr. Alexander Brellner of Liverpool, upon the present state and position of the vessel. The report of these gentlemen is to the effect tuat the Great Britain has as yet receiv- ed comparatively little injury; that means may be used for beaching her by keeping the stern to the sea until the next seasen, and it will then he perfectly practicable to take her off the strand Ministerial Arrains.—Rumors of ministerial dissensions prevail, but they originate in the columns of papers avowedly hostile to the whiy government. The Morning News has been giving currency to scandal arising out of the presumed enmities of Lords Grey and Palmerston; enmities, if our contemporary is to be believed, which set the different sections of the Cabinet by the ears. Sach statements find their way into print relative to every government, and will be regarded as true, or snuffed aside with contempt, according to the politics of those to whom they‘are addressed. In ~, the present instance, the probability is, that they are not correct, for the position which the British government has assumed towards France has been the act of an united Cabmet, or we should have heard long ere this of the immediate resig- nation of Earl Grey and those who think with him. ARgival OF THE CaLEDonta.—The steam ship Caledonia, Captain Lott, reached Liverpool on Sunday morning, the 15th, after a passage of 134 days from Boston, during which she had a suc- cession of head winds and boisterous weather. Our papers were shortly afterwards landed, and a special messenger went express to London, who reached the city some fifteen hours in ad- vance of the mail. Apgrivats Faom THe Unirep Statss.—We have had three arrivals of packet ships from the United States, bringing late news, since the sailing of the Acadia. On the 7th inst. the Cambridge, from New York, reached the Mersey in the early part of the afternoon, with dates from that city to the 17th ult. She was immediately followed by the Joshua Bates, from Boston, who made the pas- sage in six'een days, with papers to the 28d. On the Ith, the Rochester came up the river, with dates to the 23d, from New York. The news by all these vessels was landed, and immediately despatched to London by a private express where it was published on the (ollowing morning after it reached the metropol's. The Gazette contained, a few days go, a list of brevet promotions in the two services, long talked about and long deferred. No one envies the brave old fellows who figure in the list the addi- tional pay to which they will now be entitled. Some exception has been taken to the imparti- | ality with which the favors have been distri- | buted. We will give the list to-morrow. Opsuine or tHe Ports.—From the singular uni- ty of argament observable in the London Times, Chronicle, and Daily News, each of which is now more or less favored by governmental hints, it ‘would seem that the opening of the ports is a question not finally disposed of by the cabinet; but that Lord John Russell will be decided by the pressure of circumstances between this period and the meeting of Parliament. The Bavarian government has just prohibited | the sale of fulmimating cotton. ‘is article is | placed in the same category as gunpowder, to —- to their own use the picki: and loose cetton Hs et their vessels, under the impression that they belong to them as perqui- sites. Considerable losses have, in consequence, been sustained by the importers; and the notice states, that all such appropriations are illegal ; also that the Chamber have resolved to protect the rights of the parties rieved, in all cases in which any of tae members may be interested.— By way ef precaution, masters of vessels are re commended to send the loose cotton which can- not be distinguished as belonging to anv particu Jar lot to the consignee of the is who will ap Portion it among the several owners or consignees one cargo, according to their respective inter- ents. Ma. Demrsere’s Enrentawents. —Mr. Demp- ster, an American vocalist, whose great abilities have rendered him extremely popular in his own country, last week gave several pleasi musical entertainments at the Concert I > bieatiecl. Mr. Dempster is highly gifted, not only as a vocal prams but asa Poet and musical com poser. veral of the most of America lelightful yoagt are of his composition, and he renders them with uncommon grace and sweetneses. He will as- suredly b» a favorite in this country ; the ladies, in particular, will, we conceive, quickly appre- ciate and acknowledge his merits. He is at pre- sent in London, and will shortly make his debwi in the metropolis, where, we understand, he comes out under high patronage, the Hon Mr. Bancroft being one of his supporters. We wish him much success in his career. He isa Sai gifted musician, and deserves the support and encouragement of every person of “ melody and sweet sounds.” Coat Mines 1x THe Pyaenexs.—Count Castel- lane hus caused different points-in the Pyrenees to be examined, in the hope of discovering veins ot coal. Alter considerable expense his e: have silos been crowned with success, and a véin of coalhas been discovered by him in the com- mune of Orignac, in the district of Bagneres, which gives great hopes. The depth of the layer discovered is about ten feet English, and runs in an horizontal line in every direction; without it being able to ascertain to what extent. M. de Castellane has purchased part of the ground in which the mineral is embodied, and has demand- ed the cessation of the mine. The matter has been laid before the administration of the depart- ment of the Hautes-Pyrenees. Ma. Barre.—This gentleman arrived in Lon- ol If) fami NDAY MORNING, DECEMB ER 6, 1846.

A letter from the Rhine states that the French Government have taken diplomatic steps to cause the recall of the duty of 25 per cent, imposed by the Governments of Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and Baden, on the exportation of corn from their domi- nions, and in case of refusal it has threatened re- prisals. The King of Bavaria has just issued a decree, suspending for two years the payment of the ar- rears of taxes, in order that the tax-payers may be able to contribute funds for the supply of bread to the floor at a cheap subscribed from his own purse 39,000 florins towards relieving the poor, and has ordered that com from the government stores shall be supplied at a low price.

The total amount of the duty on hops, of the growth of 1846, is stated oificiaily to be £443,699 W7s1jd, viz,—old duty at 112-204 per lb, £242,929 15s 74d 8-204, new duty at 38 20d per Ib, £179,556 15s 10}d 12-20ths, and additional 5 per cent. £21,- 123 58 7d. The Turkish Government have issued a memo- randum prohibiting the exportation of corn from the province ol the Straits of the Dardanelles, on the pretext that the natives of that district are ac- customed to sell their corn improvidently, and are obliged afterwards to buy at higher prices. Baring Brothers & Co., have presented a me morial, ey ee by several eminent mercantile houses, to Lord Palmerston, against the invading expedition against South America.

The position of the government appeers to have much improved, as two ace tions have been fought with the Queen’s adherents and the insurgents, in which the former utterly routed the latter.

By adecree issued on the I, the Queen hes temporarily assumed the dicta- torship, or absolute authority, and has deprived the Mar- quis de Loule, Count das Antas, Baron da Bandeira, and the other noblemen who have orpourad the cause of the insurgents, of all their titles, dignities, and deco- ns. Accounts from Lisbon, extending to the sth instant, reached London on the 16th. When the Terrible loft the aque a report was in circulation that 600 men, de- tached by Saldana, had routed the Cintra guerillas with the loss of eighteen killed. The marshal himself was with the royal army at Torres Vedres, the famous posi- tion of the Duke of Wellington,where he awaited quiet- ly the atteck of Das Antas. Should the insurgent lead- er be so imoprudent as to assume the offensive, and attack Marshal Seldenta in hie e: camp, his defeat must be inevitable, provided only that the queen’s Boe sustained their fidelity. The result, however, might be very different it he ned an attack, and ted the proper course of retit apt Coimbra, for in thet case Raldanhe must either remain inactive, or, to strike a blow, must follow the rebels into a hostile coun- try, from whence he might find it anaes to besos Sd communication with Lisbon open; ja that event he would be completely cut off from his supplies. Das Antas was said to bo at the head of 14 000 men, consisting of 6000 reguler troops, and 8000 volunteers and guerillas.

A télegraphic despatch reached Lisbon on the 11th in- stant, stating that General Swalbech had commenced the bombardment of Elvora.
