The leaders of the two parties can do anything almost ia politics. They caneasily make black appear white, but we defy any of them, with all their legerdemain, to make out to the satisfaction of the people, that Gen. Taylor belongs to either party. The News from Europe.Great Decline in Breadstuff.. By the arrival of the steamship Cambria at Boston trom Liverpool, we have fifteen days later intelligence from all parts of Europe. The news is exoeedingly important, in a commercial and financwl point of view, and is of the most unfavorable nature so far as all our great export- ing staples are concerned. There has been an enormous decline in breadstuffs, without any material improvement in cotton. Our readers will recollect, that in an article ublished a few days since, we predicted a de- sine in breadstuffe, but by no means to the ex- ent reported. We anticipated a moderate de- cline, upon the ground that the receipt of bread- stuffe ia Great Britain from this country, up to the first of August, judging from the shipments trom this and other ports during the month of June, must have been immense. The ship- ments of flour to Great Britain in the month of June, from thie yort alone, amounted to about four hundred thousand barrels, besides immense juantities of wheat and corn. Anticipating that these shipments would reach their destina- tion in all July, we made up our minds that the steamer ot the 4th of August would bring ac- counts of adecline in prices. Our predictions havegbeen more than realized;Zbut it is our im- ‘ression now that the steamer of the 19th inst., the Caledonia, will bring accounts of a partial recovery of prices. There is no doubt but that there was a very serious panic in the Liverpool market, as the decline was very sudden, having taken place on the $d and 4th of August. The telegraphic despatch giving the report of the Liverpool market of the 4th inst., published in an Extra Herald on Wednesday evening, and the despatch giving the report of the London market of the 3d inst., published in an “tra Herald yesterday morning, are very wide in the statements relative to prices, but are, neverthe- | lesa, correct. The bulk of the decline took place on the $d and 4th in Liverpool, and in London onthe 4th. This accounts for the diecrepancies. The first report made public through the £ztra Herald on Wednesday evening, is the only cor- rect one, as will be seen on reference to the de- tailed accounts of the markets in this day’s pa- per. It is unfortunate that such contradictory «tatements should be given, but it is fortunate that the most unfavorable accounts came first, as it prepared the minds of those interested for the real state of things on the other side. We give in another column the circular of the Barings, dated London, August 3, for the purpose of show- ing that the telegraphic despatch made up from it corresponds with the original, being another evidence of the accuracy of the operator on the telegraphic line. Raving thus disposed of this part of the mat- ‘er, itis necessary tosum up the extent of the decline in breadstufls. We annex a comparative statement of prices current in Liverpool, at the departure of the last and previous steamers :--- Tue Prices or Bacapsturrs in Livenroor. July 19, August 3.

The arrival of the next steamer from Liverpool will be looked for with the greatest anxiety. The effect of this news upon our own markets must be great, but aot to the extent that would be experienced had prices on this side ruled high. The decline yes- terday in thie market in flour was about fifty cents per barrel. The Liverpool cotton market on the 3d inst., waa firm. Thore had been a slight decline, but it had been recovered, and the reports by the Cambria ate about the same as those received by the Hiber! The accounts from this side received in Liverpool om the 29th of July, by the Caledonia, had a favorable effect on the mar- ket. We have no advices of the effect of the fall in prices for breadstuffs upon those of cot- ton, but it is our impression that it was very great and very favorable. We shall have all this vy the steamer of the 19th inst. : The London money market, on the 8d instant, was decidedly tight, but quotations for stocks were pretty well maintained.
