oR ARRIVAL OF THE . FRENOH STEAMER MISSOURI AT HALIFAX. We last evening received the following tele- graphic despatches from Bosto: Boston, August 18—Evening. The Missouri arrived at Halifax on the 15th instant, at 6 P. M., and the Cambria onthe 17th, at4A.M., and left at 7 A. M. The Missouri was fallen in with, 14th instant, by the British revenue cutter Daring, Captain Darby, from Sable Island ; had had no coal for forty-eight hours when she fell in with the Daring. On hearing of her distress, Captain Darby over- hauled the brig Lady Young, from Sydney, which vessel supplied ber with coal. Twenty- six cabin aod sixty-five steerage passengere on board the Missouri. Boston, Aug. 18—P. M. The French steamer Missouri, from Cherbourg for New York, was at Halifax when the Cam- bria left—put in for coals—would leave on the evening of the 16th. Her mail agent and mails have come in the Cambri: ‘The Foreign News. ‘We publish to-day an abstract of the foreign news recrived at Boston yesterday by the steam- er Cambria, and transmitted to this office by tel- egraph. It was, without exception, the best ar- ranged and the best transmitted telegraphic des- patch we ever received from Boston. The man- ner in which the operators performed their work entitles them, and particularly Mr. Fows, to the thanke of the community. Asthe time the Cambria arriv d at Boston was probably too late to send her mails to this eity in the ordinary way, the probability is, that we shall get our regular foreign fileain the course of this morning by special messenger. If we do, we shall publish the details of the news in the evening edition of the New York Herald, which we shall have ready earlier than usual, that is to say, ut twelve o'clock. If we should find, which we do not at preeent @pprehend, that there ure any errors in the tele- graphic quotations of the grain and other mai- kes, we shall place the corrections on our balietin the moment after we receive our files. It is worthy of remark, that not # single inter- ruption occurred to the telegraph during the trans- mission of the longdespatch which we received.

Our special messenger boarded and obtain- ed the latest intelligence, and immediately transmitted the despatch, made up in Liverpool forus. It came through in beautiful style, with- out a single interruption. The Cambria left Liverpool on the 4th inst. We are enabled, by our telegraphic report, to make out the following comparative state- ment of the prices of breadstuffe in Liverpool on the 19th ult. and 4th inst. :— Tue Prices or Bazapstorrs in Livenroor. uly 19.

Some parcels of Indian corn, which had been slightly heated but restored, were yester- day sold oy auction at 25s. per qr.and some Wes- tern canal flour sold at 21s. 6d. to 23s. 6d. per bbl., but the transactions were gen- erally unimportant. The above is the re- sult of yesterday’ market, and shows a serious decline in the value of breadstufly. A panic has decidedly taken place, uccelerated by the gradual downward tendency of the late Lon- don markets, the highly favorable state of the | home crops, and the stiffness of the money mar- ket. In the London corn market on Monday a reduction on wheat of 8 to 108 per quarter have taken place. We have no quotations to give of yesterday’s transactions Several heavy failures have occurred in the corn trade; and many others of a serious cha- racter are apprehended- The propects of the harvests still continue unexceptionably encouragi promise a most abundant yield. It has alrendy begun in some of the Southern counties. The crops of wheat, oats and barley are sally healthy. The potatoe, notwith It should + and every where univer- standing all that has been said about the reappearance of the disease of last year, is affected but to a very insignificant extent.

A painful sensation has taken place in the money market since the departure of tle last steamer, and which, in a greater or less degree, has affected every branch of trade and manufac- ture. For some days the funds have been in avery unsettled state, and though speculation has not gone to the extent which it was apprehended it ®would, the financial condition of the country may be said to be in a state of the most painful uneasiness. The Manchester busi- ness has for the last few days been of a very lim- ited character, and if the monetary embarrass- ment continues, increased distress will be the inevitable consequence. Although the tunds wera in a state of unusual fluctuation last week, they have this week opened with greater firm- ness, buthow long that position will be maintain- ed, itis hardto predict. The price of Consols on Monday, opened at 88§ to j, for money, from which they advanced to 88] to J, in consequence of the fall in the corn market. t In the course of the day the Bank of England announced an increased scale of discounts, which caused an immediate fall of § per cent; at the close of business there was no rally. The last money price was 88} to j; but for account they opened at 89 to j, from which they receded to 88j to}. Bank stock left off at 1964 to 198; there was no material change yesterday. GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. The Royal mail steamer Caledonia arrived in the Mersey on the morning of the 28th July. Arrived July 20, Chaos, Wilson ; 21st, Garrick, Trask ; 22d, Glenmore, Clark ; Sardinia, Crock- er; 29th, Montezuma, Lowber. Parliament has been dissolved, and the new elections are proceeding vigorously. So far as the returns have been made, they show a com- plete triumph for the free trade principles Lord John Russell, who will form a new cabinet, has been re-elected for the city of London. The accessions of the prelacy, priesthood and gentry of the country to the dld Ireland party are large, and the weekly contributions steadily in- crease. It is expected that a large proportion of repealere willbe returned to the Imperial Par- liament this election. The remains of Mr. O’Connell were. embarked at Birkenhead, for Dublin, on Sunday, where they arrived the following day. A distinguished literary amateur perform- ance for the benefit of that child of genius, Leigh Hunt, was given in Liverpool on Wednee- day last. The principal characters were borne by Caurles Dickens, Douglass Jerrold, Yark Le- mon, Cruikshank and Leitch. A formidable conspiracy of the most diaboli- cal character has been detected at Rome. The object of the conspirators, who amounted to se- veral hundreds in number, wa’ to massacre the citizens, and remove the Pope to Naples by torce. Five cardinals, with exalted civil and mi- litary officers, were discovered to have been ibettors. « Popular feeling has become more tranquil in Franee. The King was well received by the people upon the celebration of the glorious three days. The Shamber of Deputies is about to be dis- solved. F Several sanguinary battles have been fought between the Russians and Circassians, the for- mer being defeated with cofsiderable lo Switzerland is threatened with a revolution. The Sunderbaund, or Catholic league have arm- ed themselves, but are likely to be suppressed. Mr. Walters, the celebrated proprietor of the London Times, died last week. He was justly considered the wall of the steam press. The Wesleyan Conference commenced their sittings at Liverpool on Wednesday last. The Rey.

The theatres, and other places of amuse- ment in this city are receiving more pa- tronage than they ever did within our know- lede. Indeed, it is remarked by thousands of people, that a theatrical and musical mania hus broken out inthis old city, which is nightly car- trying away hundreds and scores of our citizens to hear the best of singing, and see the best of tight rope dancing and theatrical performances. The Park—Old Drury, as its friends love to style it—is first on the list. Since the com- mencement of the season, this ancient and time- honored dramatic temple has been crowded, as the saying is, from pit to dome. Mrs. Anna Bishop’s singing has made our steadiest citizens half mad, while it has completely crazed our young men. Nothing but that lady’s notes are spoken of in the counting-room, the office, the coffe-house, and the parlor, by old and young of both sexes. It be called the Bishop-mania, and will not stop its ravages until the author of it leaves the city or the country. The Bowery is the next on the list, and de- serves more than a passing notice. Mrs. Shaw, the celebrated actress, is at present engaged there to perform her round of characters. She draws as large houses as any actor or actress we ever saw. Previous to this lady’s engagement, Miss Turnbull played one or two weeks, with great success. The manager of the Bowery is remarkable for energy, and his desire to please his patrons. He never looks at the cost, but pro- duces a constant succession of dramatic spec- tacles. The Chatham is a neat and comfortable little theatre. It has recently come under the man- agement of Mr. Fletcher, who is determined not to be outrun in the great race for popularity and patronage. The Adelphi company, consisting of Mr. Brougham and his lady, Mr. and Mrs. How- ard, and several other accomplished actors and actresses, have been performing ludicrous bur- lesques and travesties there for a week or two past with great credit. The celebrated Holland, and the Carlo family, are engaged at this place next week. We next come to Cas:le Garden, which is, without doubt, one of the most agreeable and airy places in the city. _is perhaps the largest and best ventilated public place in the world — As our readers know, it was formerly a fort, but was transformed into its present shape by Messrs. French & Heiser. The Lehman family, whose extraordinary feats on the tight rope, and graceful ballet performances have secured for them a name of which they have reason to be proud, nightly pertorm there to large and fash- ionable assemblages. A sacred concert is given there every Sunday evening. Palmo’s Opera House, from its central loca- tion, gets its share of patronage. At | resent i is occupied by the Ravel family, who performed at Niblo’s before that establishment was burned. This ballet company are well known in every city in the Union, and perform so as to amaze and amuse all who see them. In these‘remarks we have referred to all the theatres, and other places of amusement in the city. One would suppose that there was no room for others, but the taste of our citizens for theatrical, operatic and ballet amusements is in- creasing every day; and in orderto accommodate it, another spacious theatre to be called the Broadway Theatre, and a large opera house in Astor Place, are being constructed When they are finished, we shall have seven regular theatres and opera houses—a greater number than any city of the size of New York can boast of, and more than could be supported in any other city. The increased and increasing musical taste of our people is one of the best signs of our pro- greas. Music and dramatic entertainments ele- vate a people, and encourage tie development of intellect. Personal and Political. We learn by letters from Philadelphia that Mr. Clay's intenticns were to lkave Cape May on Saturday morn- ing for Philadelphia. The arrival, however, of the New Haven at Capo May on Friday morning, and the oppor- tunity it will afford him to reach this city on Saturday morning without fatigue, noise, or confusion, will, it is thought, be cheerfully embraced by him, in the full ex pectation of his accepting the invitation of the distin- guished gentleman who accompanies the boat. State rooms have been most tastefully fitted up on the New Haven, for both him and Mr. Mayor Brady. A meeting of the friends of Henry Cla; Boston, is ealled iu the papers of that city yesterday morning. ‘The meeting was to be heldat the Merchants’ Exchange, ‘at one o'clock, P. M, yesterday. Object of the meeting —to take measures to invite Mr. Clay to visit Boston, and to receive and entertain him if he should come. — The call was signed by seventy of the most influental citizens of Boston. _ Larest rrom Haytt.—Brig Silenus, Hardy. from Cape Rion Aas August 5, arrived on Mo: day, and we are indebted to Col. (, M. Weston for Le Manifeste of July 2th. the paper to us said, * T' the ministry have all bes and they are try- ing to see who is the biggest nigger.” | As we understand Le Manifeste, the president of the senate, at Port au Prince, sent a message to the chamber of representa- tives, July 24, accompanied with proposed modifications of the budget. ‘I'he chamber debated all that day, and outhe 26th returned a message deolaring that they pone Man ag the proposed amendments of the senate relating to the department of the interior ond ioulture, and returned the senate’s projet fixing the for 1848. President Preston then pronounced well discourse, and a deputation having returned from the chief executive, the session was declared to be closed. A ministerial crisis followed ; the cabinet took their dismission, and a new ministry was formed ae fol- lows :—Secretary of Way and Marine, General Lazarre ; Interior ond Agricuiturs, David Troy; Finances and Commerce, treasurer-general Jean Elie; Justice and Public Instruction, ronator J.

It is edited by Mra. J, Hale, ani fully sustains its previous character for excellence, ‘Theatrical and Mustcal, Panx Turatar.—The Park Theatre was crowded last night, and so bandsome a house has not been seen for a long time, as on the occasion of M’me Bishop's benefit. It was, indeed, as perfect a ph asan artist could de- sire, especially at this season of the year; and the perform- ances were worthy of the audience. M’me B. appeared in five pieces, “ The Maid of Artois,” a scene from “Il Bar- Diere di Siviglia,” cavatina “Una voce pocofs,” then carne the third act of ‘Anna Bolena,” and after that the first scene of the second act of * Linda of Chamouni,” and then in conclusion the Grand Scena and Cavatins from ‘Tancredi; in which last the “Di Tanti i”? was rap- turously encored, and well did it deserve the approba- tory marke which it received. The execution of the music was enchanting, to say nothing of the man- ner in which the fair beneficiary dressed tho part, her martial air and manner was, teken all in all, as fine a piece of acting as need be desired. We might mention the aller beauties of the several pieces, but It is su it for tne occasion to say, that they were all received with the warmest plaudits, and wreaths and bouquets were thrown upon the stage in profusion, All were delighted. aud all seemed to rejoice alike at the success of the candidate for the favors of the assemblage. Besides the rich musical treat, the audi- ence were amused by the mance of three farces, “40 and 50,” the * Secret,” and A Kiss {n the Dark,” making ali decidedly the greatest bill of the sea- ron. To-night Mr. Anderson commenoes an en) ment. and makes his first appearance as Macbeth, 5 Jones sustaining the part of Lady Macbeth; and we see that our old stage acquaintance, Mr. Dyott, is to ap as Macduff The afterpieoe is to be the new farce of the ‘Governor's Wife,” in which are cast Messrs. Anderson, Chupman, Bass, Stark, and the ladies. Bowery Turatre.—Nothing can exceed the enthusi- asm with which Mrs. Shaw is nightly received at the Bowory. Pleudits the most tumultuous are awarded her the moment she makes ber appearance on the stage.-— Although long accustomed to such compliments, Mre. Shaw cannot but be affected by them. Mr. Clarke’s re- ception, too, is highly flattering. His good points never scape observation and applause. Mrs. Shaw will repeat her personation of “Ion” this evening. This is her greatest part, and it was for her acting in it, that she is indebted to the high stand she now occupies in her pro- fession. The drama of the “Carpenter of Rouen” will form the afterpiece this evening. These two pieces, and the manner in which they are cast, will attract so large an audience, that we think it would be advisable for gen- tlemen who intend taking ladies with them, to secure seats early in the day. Cuatuam Tueatar.—This is the last night but two of the engagement of the Adelphi company, and it is the regret of all who have seen thelr performances, that they leave us so soon, We must make up for their loss a8 far an wecan, by seeing them every night while they remain bere. They will appear this evening in three capital piotes—tho “ Maid of Crolssy,”’ the “ Irish Dra- mn, or Warsin Chancery,” and the extravaganzs, *Our Tom Thumb,” which has been received, ever night of its performance. with rapturous applause. [f the public wish to see the Adelphi company in three of their best pieoes, every character in each well supported, and at the same time enjoy an evening's amusement, they bad better virit the Chatham to-night. There isa varied dish of drama, farce and extravaganzg prepared ot ready for them—a treat that is not always to be ad. Castix Ganpen.—The celebrated Hispano-Itelian company, of Havana, performed last night the grand opera of “Hernaul,”’ before the most fashionable au- dience ever witnessed in uny theatre or concert room. There wore assembled at the Castle Garden about eighteen hunared people, whose repeated bursts of ap- Plause handsomely remunerated the excellent artists who were performing the principal characters in the opera. The Castle Garden theatre, though uot built for large a company, resounded beautifully, too much, perhaps; and never at the Park did we evjoy better the voices of Tedesco, Perelli, Vita, and Novelli, These able singers showed themselves equal to the repu- tation they have acquired during their engagement in our city. T ico possesses the best quality of voice, and most refined musical talent heard in the United Stat since Malibran and the late Madame Damoreau. The best proof of the truth of our criticism, is the reception given to this lovely woman by her numerous admirers, who rushed to Castle Garden to hear the sweet nightingale. When she first appeared on the , she was received with enthusiastic applause. The chorusses sustained their well established reputation; they were perfect of ensem- ble and intonation. Arditi and Botesini, at the head of the musicians, led’ the partition of Verdi with that skill and solence for which they are s0 renowned “ Hernant’’ was again declared the best opera of Verdi— the admirable introduction, the delicious song of Tedesco in the first act, which we so often noticed, the incom- parable finale of the third act, in which the prima donna accomplishes so many fivsitures, and displays such a talent with her cadenc portées de voir; all these bright gems delighted their enchanted hearers, who, when the performance was over, called before the cur- tain Tederco, Perelli, and Vita, and expressed to them their real admiration. The opera of “ Norma” will be performed to-morrow night. No doubt Castle Garden will be as well filled as it was last evening. Castix Ganpen.—The Lehman family resume, this evening, their graceful performances, together with the talented English vaudeville company. The evening’s entertainment will begin with “Le Chalet,’ so well played by Messrs. Holland and Walcot. The exercise called the “ Ne Plus Ultra,” which is displayed by M. M Lehman and M’lle. Julie, will then take piace ; and we declare we have never seen @ more stupendous feat on the tight rope. It is worth witnessi: Mr. Charles Winther wiil also appear ; and the whole will conclude with the ballet of * Les Moissonneurs,” in which M’lie. Adelaide is so gracef,ul and dances s0 well. a ‘Tue Ravers at Paumo’s Orena Hovse.—These won. derful acrobats perform this evening for the third time, and have made out a bill which will attract undoubtedly an immense audience. The entertuinment begins with ‘opwas 1,” followed by the famous exercises on la corde raide, Gabriel Ravel in a Chinese pas, Leon Juvelli with his daring exploits, and Ja petite amour in her childish and graceful dance. The comic pastoral pantomime of “La Fete Champetre” comes after, with a pus de deuz from Natalie by Madame Leon Javelli and Henry Wells The whole to conclude with Les Tableauz Vivans, “The Italian Brigands.” The Ravels are great comedians, indeed, Vincinia Senenapens,—These comical geniuses give another conceit at the Minerva Rooms this evening, on which occasion they offer a new set of choice perform- ances, vocal andinstrumental. They are certainly worth hearing, The entertainments of the evening conclude with that most irresistible of burlesques, “ Stuffo.” Who would not shake their sides with laughter must eschew the Minerva Rooms owing the evenings of this week: but all who would, for an hour or two, forget care and enjoy themselves, may venture to go. “Mirth rules the hour.”’ The performances are divided into two parts; in the first the serenaders appear as dandy darkies of the north, in the second part they enact the plantation tlave of the south—and both are well done. Tue Hvaues Famu.y perform this evening at the Pa- vilion, Rockaway. No doubt these favorite musicians and vocaliste will have a good house. Tux Littie Generac ann tHe Trustexs or Bara- TOK Gen, Tom Thumb is now at Nisgara Falls, from whence he proceeds to Oswego, and then announces to appear at Ballston Spa on Monday and Tuesday next, and that he has chartered extra cars, which will run continually between Saratoga Spriogs and Ballston, con- veying all persons gratia who purchase a ticket to his levees.

Norwich ana Worcester, and Farmers’ Loan, closed at of Harlem and Norwich at the second board, and the market closed with an upwird tendency. At the first board, there were large sales of Treasury notes, at the {uprovement. The fluctuations which have for the past few days been experleneed in this security show how very easy it isto up @ panie among the holders of any stock, no matter what may be its intrinsic valne. We have received no later accounts from Mexico within the past day or two, and ou® affairs in that quarter remain pro- olsely as roported on tho 15th Inst., for all we know to the contrary, notwithstanding which Treasury notes have since the 16th failen and improved about two per cent. If there was real cause for the decline, there is none for the improvement. The news by the Cambria, published on telegraphic authority, is, in 8 commeroial point of view, of the most startling importance. We anticipated a gecline in breadstuffs, but by no means to the extent reported. Woe foar the effoct upon our markets will be exceedingly disastrous to many houses eagaged in the trade. Cotton wasa shade better, but the tightness of the London money market had a depressing influence upon the markets generally, and the oemmercial accounts are on the whole much more unfavorable than we expected. It is, however, impossible to give any opinion about the news, until the detailed accounts come to hand, The Baltimore Fire Insurance Company has declared a semi-annual dividend of four per cent te the stock. holders, and one per cent to the sontingent fund.

The fall- ing off was confined entirely to the first quarter this year, and the increase in the second quarter and in the month of July, gives us some hope for the future. The Receivers of the Plainfleld Bank are proceeding with all despatch to wind up that affairs of the institu tion. Creditors are allowed to bring in their claims un- til the 26th of September, and ‘the Chancellor cannot mako a dividend on the bills until that time, nor can the receivers inform the public what are the prospects for the redemption of the bills.
