The steamer Cambria, Capt Harrison, which left Liverpool on the 17th, arrived at Boston at8 o’clock, on Friday morning; having made the pas- sage in twelve days and ahalf. She brings 61 pas- sengers from Liverpool, and 7 from Halifax. The steamer Caledonia arrived at Liverpool on the I4th instant, after a passage of thirteen days and a half. There 18 but very little activity in commercial affairs in England. ‘The cotton market was dull; sales confined to the trade. There had been a slight decline in American descriptions. There had been no change in the grain markets. ‘The weather in Great Britain had been excellent for the crops. The state of trade in the manufacturing districts remains without, change. ‘The Londou money market was pretty firm, not- withstanding the “ wars and rumors of wars,” throughout Europe. Consols on the 16th June, were 833 for the account, but were last quoted at 834. The position and prospects of the West India su- gar planters had given rise to several public meet- ings in England on the subject. The “Chartist movement” of the, 12th ultimo failed. The renowned Tom Steel, Head Pacificator for Treland, under Mr. O’Cennell’s Rereal Association, died, on the 15th ult. There is not any very important news from Ire- and. The repeal agitation has at present come to a stand still. The fraternisation of the Old and Young Irelanders, is not yet completed.— The consummation of an event so earnestly desired by all Irishmen, has been postponed for a fortnight by the leaders at Conciliation Hall, in order to give the country an opportunity of ex- pressing an opinion thereupon. The sittings of the Repeal Association are postponed for a fortnight. The accounts from the Continent, and more es- pecially from France, will be found very ungatis- factory (if we believe the English paper). In fact, no one can speculate on the continuance of peace for any length of time, as every hour brings forth new features. M. William Tell Poussin had beer appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentia- ry from France to the republic of the United States, There was a great excitementand reaction in Pa- ris in favor of Lows Napoleon. He is to be ad- mitted to the National Assembly. The excitement continued to the latest date, and measures were taken to keep it vigorous. Pamph- lets in praise of Prince Louis Napoleon are strewed about the crowded assemblies, and newspapers in his interest are distributed gratis. The walls were, on the 16th ult., stuck over with a placard bearing no signature, but recommending in strong terms the Assembly to dismiss the Gov- ernment and the Ministry, and to confer a dicta- torship on M. Caussididre. Notwithstanding their defeat the Executive Commission still kept their ground! On the 15th ultimo the Assembly was discussing a proposition for declaring Algeria an integral part of France. The Executive Commission having given an- swer to a letter of Emile Thomas, late a director of the ateliers nationaux, demanding an inquiry, that person has addressed a petition to the Nation- al Assembly, demanding redress fer the outrage committed on him by arbitrary arrest and depor- tation on the part of the Executive Commission, whom he charges with reviving the system of let- tres de cachet. “I have been,” says he, ‘dis- missed and arrested, and yet they refuse to try me. The cause of the violence done to me is buried in mystery; there 1s no precedent for my treatment since the reign of despotism.” In consequence of the attacks made upon him, M. Clement Thomas tendered, on the 8th ult., his re- signation of the command of the National Guard, but the government declined accepting it. It was ramored next day, that in consequence of the term “gewgaw,” which he had applied in the Aesembly to the cross ot the legion of honor, he was to fight a duel with M. Napoieon Bertrand, son of the late General Bertrand; but the affair was ultimately ar- ranged without a resort to duelling. ‘The directors of the theatres of Paris waited on the Minister of the Interior on the 6th inst., to ap- prise him that, if the government did not afford them assistance, they should close all the theatres under their management. ‘The commander of St. Pierre and Miquelon has informed the government, under the date of the 7th of April, that the republic has been proclaimed in those Islands. ‘The excitement caused among the ultra-republi- cans by the return of M. Thiers for Paris, has produced a manifestation against him of a serious character. About nine o’clock on the night of the 8th ult., a large mob proceeded from the Boule- vard to the Place St. George, in which his man- ston is situate, crossed the iron palisading by which it is surrounded, and would have forced their way into the house, and committed possibly further out- rages, but for the arrival of a body of National Guards, by whom they were expelled, and driven to some distance. It was eleven o’clock, however, before the crowd finally dispersed. A stromg body of the Garde Mobile, who had arrived to the sup- port of the National Guards, bivouacked en the Place St. George. The Vrare Republique says that the revolution is only beginning. This 18 the paper of Barbés, Pierre, Leroux, George Sands, Louis Blanc, &c. We have little authentic intelligence from Na- ples; the whole of Calabria seems still in revolt. In Hanover, the enlightened liberal minister, Struve, seems much in the same predicament, and he wll probably be compelled to resign, in consequence of the harrassing demands of the ultra-democratic party. Since the battle of Geito, and the fall of Peschi-+ era, xo movement of a further decisive character has faken place in Lombardy. The Piedmontese were preparing to occupy Isola della Scola, to eut off the communications of the Austrians between erona and Mantaa. The Austrians seem con- we that the Emperor of Austria meditates ‘h visit to Pracue, with a view of attaching to his “personthe Bohemian provinces. The French, En- lish, seatbelt Kc, and it is supposed that the af- fairs of Italy will there be discussed.

It has been also reported on the Lon- don Exchange, that a large Russian force had en- tered Memel. This is not improbable; at the same time the rumor requires some authentic confirma- tion, The Diet of Frankfort seems to be occupied with the adjustment Sclavonian affairs, and the formation of a Dit to manage the affairs of Germany, until the establishment of a supreme central government in Germany, when its sovereign functions will cease. In Prussia affairs have come to a dead lock. In the Berlin Parliament, a deelaratory vote, of an abstract nature, whether the events of the 18th and 19th of March had dethroned the King, and originated a new constitutional system, being ne- gatived by a amall majority of 19,the people of Berlin have again been thrown into a state of tu- mult which appears like to have serious conse- quences. The democrats of that capital are at direct issue with the court party; and unless the mob can be brought to some reason, an appeal will certainly be made to the army, anda frightful civil war will be the result. M. Arago, the new French Minister, the Lyons Commissary, seems to fraternise with the people; and in the general excitement that prevails, this sort of propagandism can only add to the mischief. The Danes have assumed the offensive, and at present no probability exists of a speedy termina- tion of hostilities, A strong Russian squadron is hovering about the Prussian ccasts in the Baltic; and unless wiser counsels prevail in Germany, we fear that the present partial contest in Schleswig will only be the forerunner of greater and more se- rious warfare. There are~reports from Spain that Narvaez is about to retire from power, and that Gen. O’Don- nell and M. Mon will form a new ministry. It is said the Queen is enciente. The Spanish Minister has been dismissed from London, in return for the ejectment of the British Minister from Madrid. Portugal is quiet; Costa Cabral and his party have the Chambers entirely under their control. The Despatches to the Herald. Intelligence tu the Latest Moment. {NEWS FROM LONDON. Liverpoot, June 17, 1848. The only intelligence by the Electric Telegraph this morning is nearly no news, and has reference to the sugar duties, about which you will find enough in last night’s London papers.

I know of nothing more than that saltpetre was a little better yesterday, and that 500 bags, 43 to 44 refraction, were sold at 26s 3d per bushel. ‘THE WEATHER. Liverroor, June 17, 1848. This morning, the barometer, and the threatening xepect of the atmosphere have been contradicting each other like two Billingsgate fish wives. The lutter has, however, gained the day, forthe rain has commenced fulling in good earnest, although the barometer has been rising all night and morn- ing. We have had east winds during the last three days, and what little there is now (10 o’clock) is from the same quarter. The weather is very hazy, and there 1s consequently no communication with Holyhead. Our London Correspondence. Lonpon, Jane 16, 1848, Chartist Humbug—Ezcitment at Drury Lane Theatre —State of Ireland—Tvial of English Chart Howitt—Tom Steele—Parliamentary Statistic ‘There is but little stirring here of any moment. It boing holiday time, the two houses of Parliament havo not met during the week, until last nignt, and almost every one that can go has flown into the eountry for a few days. The only enlivening scenc was on Monday, the 12th of April, and even that excitement was all ex- pestation, in place of reality. As I anticipated, the chartist demonstration was a most wretched abortion; indeed, it can scarcely be said there was any meeting; for towards the hour appointed for the gathering to take place, a thunder storm, accompanied by a pouring rain, acted as a powerful preventive to any display these riotous gentlemen might have intended tomake. Many people ontertain the notion that these monster meetings are projected only with the view of tiring out the military and civil power, by compelling them to make constant preparations for defending the metropolis. However true this may be, there can be uo question that the chartists are earning for them- selves a most inglorious name—e very natural thing to anticipate after their extremely silly proceedings. Nothing has been heard of them since Monday, with @ pro- the exception of a few of the Cantu § in tl vinees; 6o that it may be presumed that they are somewhat tired of their pranks, especially as the law is put in force and carried out with undoubted) se- verity. In all our large towns matters are quiet; no disturbance of any kind has occurred. The engrossing topic since I last wrote has been Drury Lane Theatre. I advised you, in a former let- ter, that it was announced that Alexander Dumas would open that place with s French company, under the name of the Thédtre Historique, for the perfor ance of his own dramas Many difficulties managers of the eoncern in the face, and a week back it was not thought that the theatre would have been opened at all. Atl the Lord Chamberlain's li- conse was obtained, the first night of performance ar- rived, and 80 riotou: ene was scarcely ever witnest- ed within the walls y theatre. The undertaking was extremely wopalatabie to the English actors, who were very wrath against foreigners for obtaining so much patronage and encouragement in this country; and it was resolved to prevent the performance, which was accomplished by an incessant row from seven to eleven o'clock, The most discordant noises imagina- ble were made, until the aid of the police was at length of the more violent were locked up ing.

But to attempt to crush a com- pany of actors driven from their own country to seek a livelihood in other parts. is, to say the least, uncha- rituble. I am pleared to lmve to ray that the whole of the influential part of the press, save the rore- colored and finieal Morning, Post, have sided with the French — not exactly out of sympathy, but reprobating, ia strong terms. the conduct of the Eny- lich public, that has no other effect than to bring lot~ of money to the theatre. which certsinly, under any other circumstances, it never would have had = By’an announcement In ths morning’s papers, I find that the theatre wiil close after two more vor yearn The alleged excuse for so sudden # termination, is the dirgraceful conduct of persons who have visited the ace. , Ireland is much quieter since | last wrote; even the repenl newspapers aro tolerably moderate in their Inn- wage, compared with their former denucciations, nor flave the clubs been sean #0 often parading the streets It is impossible te eny whether this is « luil that will be succeeded by a storm; but | ans sure all good wixhers to the country hope otherwise.

Disputes arose between the two ; the deed of partnership was cancelled, although not before the publication was deeply immersed in debt. The majority of the creditors knowing that Mr. Howitt was juch more responsible man than bis late part- ner, applied to him for a liquidation of their claims. To answer these calls satisfactorily Mr. Howitt has found impossible, and he has accordingly declared himself, at the age of fifty-four, a bankrupt. I do not wish to offer any opinion on the merits of the case, yet T cannot help the fact that some time since, being engaged im writing a memoir of this gentleman, [ was naturally anxious to obtain as much authentic information as possible, and therefore got an‘introduc- tion, At some trouble, I went through the whole of the correspondence betwoen Mr. Saunders and Mr. Howitt, and I feel bound to add that, on the part of the latter, every thing appeared to be clear and af it forward.

ONE WEEK’S HISTORY OF FRANCE. Lonpon, June 16-7 P, M. Altempt to Proclaam Louis Napoleon Emperor of France—Interesting Details. “At half past five o'clock, on Monday evening, the 12th instant, in the French National Assembly, and, in a atate of great agitation, announced that a serious circumstance had just occurred in the Place de Concorde: ‘Blood had been spilt—a shot had been fired to the ery of Vii UEmpereur Napoleon! ‘The gravity of the elrcum. stance required energetic measures. He then a: nounced a billexcluding Louis Napoleon from France, but allowing the rest of the Bonaparte family to re- main.” Prince Louis Napoleon, the prisoner of Ham, the nephew of the Emperor, has been the hero of the last week—Vive l’Empereur, Vive Nupoleon, & bas la république, have been the latest watchwords in the streets of Paris. The Napoleon of Peace is drinking the bitter cup of fallen glory; an exile, and the man who was lately his prisoner, the nephew of the Napoleon of War, is hailed as Emperor! Truly we live in wondrous times, and a lesson has been given to humanity of the puny strength of hu- man foresight, and we might, with the Ottoman fatatist, beat our breast and humbly bending our head to the great Creator, exclaim: “Allah is great, and Mahomed is his prophet. Wonderful are the works of Allah!” But [ mast say truce to philosophizing, and mar- shal forth in the close rank and file of the New York Herald’s columns the goodly array of events that have occurred in the short space of aix days. I must bring your readers back to Saturday, the 10th inet. An unusual stir and excitement was visible on the physiognomy of the pronla of Paris, on Satur- day. The words ‘Louis Napoleon,” “l’Empereur,” “Napoleon” were rapidly passing from mouth to mouth. It was known that Prince Louis, though started against his will, and only the day before the elections, had been returned by an immense majority, for four different constituencies. Large crowds assembled around the h {lof the National Assembly, in the hopes. of secing the prince, A private ministerial codpeil was held, and great alarm prevailed. The sitting was unusually dull, till the latter part of it, when M, Heekeren, su denly mounted the rostrum, and in a state of consi- derable excitement, exclaimed: “Letters have just been received from Troyes, which stato that at the moment when a regiment of the line entered that city. the National Guard went out to wel come it, and when they shouted, ‘Vive la République,’ the troops answered ‘Vive Napoleon Louis.” hort speech threw. the Assembly into the utmest confusion, in the midst of which General Caviagnac mounted the tribune, and declared that no euch fact had come to the knowledge of the go- vernment, and he added, with extreme energy: “Far be it from me to wish to bring ro terrible an ac- cusation inst one of my fellow citizens | must be- Heve—I will believe—I do believe, that ho whose name has been pronounced js innocent. But | think I ex- ress the unanimous feeling of the Assembly in devot- Ing to pudlic exccration whoever would attempt to lay a racriligious hand on the liberties of the republic.” ‘Here General Cavaignac was interrupted by the unanimous acclamations of the Assemb'y | The of the members and shouted “Vive fa ”? Gen Caviagnac then continued : reserves more glory and more honor for him int wha will conseorate all his faculties t0 the service of his country, than to him who will attempt te abuse a glo- rious ame to the profit of his own ambition."’ This was the commencement of the Bonaparte movement.

It d@urgence ‘should he adopted was an old orderly officer of the Emperor’: Dumoulin, who sturted Prince Louis Napoleon as a candidate for the department of the Seine. He did so without any acai or communication either with the Prince himself or with the members of the Bonaparte family resident in Paris. The three members of the family, who are already in the Assembly, were so much annoyed at the cir- cumstance that they waited upon the Mayor of Pa- ris to state that Prince Louis Napoleon had no intention of starting as a candidate, and that he was put forward without his knowledge or sanction They even threatened to prosecute Col. Dumoulin for what he had done, and it was only the suecess of the movement that prevented the ardent Buona. partist from finding himself in a very disagreeable scrape. i {t was said that secret orders were issued to ar- rest the Prince. This called forth a contradiction from his relations, as follows: “Tt is not true that the Prince is at Paris. It is not true that he is at Auteuil; consequently, it is not true that the executive commission had deliberated on ar- resting him. The citizen Louis Bonaparte came here publicly immediately he heard the news of the revolu- tion of February ; he quitted Paris at the end of twen- ty-four hours, aigherrasest of the provisional govern- ment. He has since that remained very quietly in London, where he could have learnt but yesterday the news of his to the National Assembly.” Sunday over in-tranquility, Truly glory is worth when the presti ot at name rouses thousands and tens of Mousande at its sound, and the word Napoleon, raised by the feeble voice of an old man, with his hair bleached by years and one foot in the grave, is re-echoed from the banks of the Seine to the Pyrenees, dying away in the distance like the rolling thunder in the valley of Chamouni, after it has been tossed from Mont Blanc to the lesser mounts, and then dropped in empty space—for, as I mentioned before, Louis Napoleon is not the man decreed to lead the French. . Monday came, and the citizens of Paris rose ear- lierthan their wont,—the executive committee pass- ed a sleepless night—and in a council which lasted till alate hour, they came to a half-resolution to cancel the election of the Prince, on the ground that he was a naturalized Swiss. The sitting of the Chamber was looked forward to with the greatest anxiety. On the Sunday even- ing large crowds assembled in the neighborhood of the Porte St. Denis. The streets were several times cleared with cavalry. The miltary adopt a new system, which will probably for the future prevent the curious from resorting to these places, as they have been doing of late. They suddenly close up all thg streets leading to the Porte St. Denis, and keepall those that are in the Boulevards, between the Porte St. Denis and the Porte St. Mar- tun, prisoners. The consequence was, that some thousands of persons who had gone merely to see the fun, found themselves closed up for several hours in the midst of a mass of all: descriptions of people, and without its being possible to extricate themselves. _ The following account from the correspondent of one of the London papers, will give you some idea of the state Paris wis in on Monday :— Pants, Monday Evening, The debate in the National Assembly, on the vote of confidence in the government, and the expectation that Prince Louis Napoleon would take his seat to-day, has attraeted an immense crowd towards all the ap- proaches of the hall ot the Assembly; but a large body of infantry stationed upon the bridge of the Concorde nnd at the ends of the streets leading to the Assembly, prose the approach of any persons nut having a tioket, It will be seén, however, by the subjoined account of thw proceedings, that the business of the day did not commence, as was expected, with the vote of cond- dence, but with an important finanoial statement made by the minister of the finances, of which we give the fullest account that the shortness of the time will permit. After the minister's statement, the debate on the vote of confidence commen At three o’clock to-day the whole of Paris was startled with the beating of the rappel throughout the whole of the city. At the time I am now writing, the National Guards are congregating in great numbers at the different mairies. and every oue in asking, without getting any satisfactory answer. what is the matter? One statement is, that thero has been fighting in the Faubourg St. Antoine, but [have just seen a person who has returped from that quarter, and who states that there is nut the slightest appearance there of riot or divturbance. Another account is that the gover: ment has received information that thie Natiow: Guard of the banlieue is preparing to march into Paris, and to force the Assembly, to receive Louis Napoleon. The report has got abroad all over Paris that Prince Louis Napoleon is to present himself at the Assembly ‘ainst the Princ ey in the course of the day, and that the government will refuse to receive him. I just learn that the crowd in th la Concorde with ca- . The whole city isin a state of alarm, but | caa think that the Bonapartists will beso mad as ny serious movement. A placard from General Pyat is posted on the walls of Paris, declaring that there is not a word of truth in the reports afloat as to tho ambitious views of Prince Louis Napoleon. and that he has, in fact, no wish bat that of being a private citizen of the republic. ‘The whole of the city is in a state of great agitation. It is said that great numbers of the National Guard refuse to act. The artillery has beon sent for from Vincennes.

General Cavaignac, Minister of War, was in full uniform. The attendance of repre- sentatives was unusually numerous. ‘The President took the chair at one o'clock. Prince Narotron Bowararte ascended the tribune amidst marks of great interest. He had not been pro- sent on Saturday during the last quarter of an hour, when General Cavaignac had spoken noble and ener- getic words, and treated asa calumny a rumor which related to a name that had been unfortunately already brought forward before the public—that of Louis Na- poleon (Hear, hear.) Every one was aware that, for some days past, the name of that person had been inevery mouth. As his friend and cousin. he came forward, not to make any apology for his relative, for none was required; and if he (Louis) had attempted any thing of what was attributed to him, he (Napo- leon) would be the first to blame him; but to state what waa the real caso relative to that 'oltizen. tain parties, who were opposed to the republic, selzed on Louis Napoleon's name. and made use of it for their own purposes; namely. to excite disturbanc and produce disorder inthe country. ‘Thin Louis Ni poleon was altogether a atrangerto.
