NO. 5239. BY SPECIAL PIGEON EXPRESS TO BOSTON, THENCE THELEGRAPHIC ‘TO THE NEW YORK HERALD OFFICE. ARRIVAL oF THE STEAMSHIP CAMBRIA. S THREE D TER NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF EUROPE. The Cambria, Captain Harnson, with three- days later intelligence from all parts of Europe, arrived at Halifax on Wednesday, at eleven, P. M., and sailed for Boston at one o’clock on Thursday morning. She arnved at Boston at | half-peat nine o’clock yesterday. Our special express pigeons were on the wing | early this morning, and reached Boston about thirty minutes in advance of the steamer. They brought the marketsand a part of the Irish news. The advices from Liverpool, are of the 23d ult. Continental politics continue to exercise a most injurious influence upon the commerce of thi® country; and the strange turn that events take on the other side of the channel is so sudden and unaccountable, that the most experienced find themseives in doubt and uncertainty as to what is to follow. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising to find gradual diminution of business in the manufacturing districts, and tendency in prices to recede. The feeling prevailing at the Manchester mar- ket on Tuesday, was more gloomy and desponding than for some weeks past; and a strong opinion was advanced that many of the factories would again have recourse to short time. Our accounts, received up to the moment of the steamer’s leaving, report a continuance of the de- pression, notwithstanding the ratification of the armistice between Denmark and Prussia, by the National Assembly at Frankfort. Manufacturers and spinners are firm in their de- mands as regards prices, and, in consequence, there has been no general reduction; but, in some cases where forced sales have been made, lower prices have been accepted both for goods and yarns. The feeling in Liverpool 1s not much less gloomy than in Manchester. The business done in the cotton market has not been animated, and prices have had a farther downward tendency. Fair New Orleans and Mobile are quoted at 4d. per pound lower; but, with these exceptions, the quotations remain unchanged, and, at the game time, the demand is so freely met by hold- ers, that it is impossible to sell a quantity at the rrent rates: Fair Orleans are quoted at 44d; fair Jpland, 4jd.; fair Mobile, at 4d. per lb.; mid- dling, 3}d. a 33d. per Ib. The sales for the week are 25,030 bales, ot which exporters have taken 3,230, and speculators 500 bales. The corn market has been somewhat more firm, but this arises more from the fact that the prevail- ing easterly winds have kept out supphes than from any other cause, and the intelligence received by the last steamer from the United States is cal- culated to check any tendenty that prices might otherwise have to advance. 100,000 bushels Indian corn may be expected to be landed in this country withia a month from this time, to say nothing of flour and other articles, large quantities of which we are advised of having been shipped. Indian corn 1s quoted 35s. a 37s. per quarter. Indian com meal 1%. per bbl. Sweet flour, 33s. a 33s. 6d., and sour, 29s. a 30s. per bbl. Wheat, 85. a 98. per 70 pounds: The duty on wheat 1s now 4s. per quarter, and on flour 28. 6d. per barrel. The weather has continued tine during the week for securing the balance of the harvest, and the ripening of the potato crop; and the fear of the deficiency of food, and the neces- | sity of very excessive imports,is much less general than it was a week or two since. Tallow fully maintains the advance noted in our last. Rather more business has taken place in rice, and in some cases,a few days ago, a slight improvement was eflected, which, however, has since been lost. ‘The position of the money market has not ma- daily accessions So fa: warded in the present immature stage of the movement, it is bee to prove successful though probably at a remote period.

The British iron trade is extraordinarily active at present, while general stagnation prevails in almost every other branch of commerce.

M.] Paris, Thursday Noon, Sept. 21, It is almost impossible to describe the gloom which has come over the public mind here. Everybody seems to think that General Cavaignac and ite Nenoaal Assembly will find it impossible toestablish the republic yet nobedy knows how it is to be got rid of, without a conflict, in which none of the friends of order are arliae engage. If itis tobe overthrown, it will probably be by some sudden event, probably a military conspi- tus of @ pay it in to be o Irish racy. ‘Tie intentions of Gen. Cavaignac are{believed to be excellent, and such a republic as he would give us the enlightened men of the country would willingly accept; but they have not the energy required to second his efforts. The great obstacle in the way of the republic is the peasantry. The men who proclaimed the peyote in_obe- dience to the orders of some 15,000 or 20,000 of the populace of Paris, Jorgot that although they mi; fe get up a good deal of enthusiasm in the city, andin a few of the large towns of the provinces, the agricultural population,who are by far the most numerous, must be consulted at last. ‘ The farmer has had 45 perct. more to pay in taxes and the farmer’s man has had his wages reduced to enable his employer to pay the taxes. Put your hand into his pocket, and draw out his earnings to pay for the republic, and then see whether he will support it. Tis declining, although the government or; tell you to the contrary. The low state of the treasury, the difficulty of getting in the taxes, and the general complication of politics, have a tre- inesdous eflect on the Bourse. 2 The funds to-day have fallen considerably.

The ultra-democrats say this is the trick of the rich, to kill the republic; but the rich, as_ they are called, would be glad to see the funds 20 per cent higher, for they would then have a confi- dence in the payment of the dividends; trade would revive, and they would find tenants for their houses. No; itis not a conspiracy of the rich. It is the result of the general melasse. The general opinion is that the government will be unable to establish a system for which there 18 only lukewarm support on the one side and dead- ly hostility on the other.

The fears of the goverument have happily proved, at least for this day. groundless. The tranquility of the capital has not been, #0 far as I have learned, dis- turbed; nevertheless the greatest agitation prevails. The Boulevards, from the Port St. Denis to the Bastiie, have been the theatre of numerous assemblages of the populace to day. The goverament continues un- der apprebension of a movement, and the troops are ail consigned to their quarters. The town will be overrun to-night with strong patrols in every quar- ty great multitude was collected in the neighborhood of the Hotel de Ville this morning, at 9 o’olock. The mayors of all the arrondissements assembled there un- der the presidence of Lamorec, mayor of the fourth | arrondissement, and president by seniority. At noon | the results of the election were duly proclaimed. When the name of Prince Louis was announced the greatest enthusiacm was manifested by the populace. Military | music was played and shouts of Vive Napoleon” rent | the air. The name of M. Fonly was received with the most profound silence, that of Raxpael was saluted, but not with the eame enthusiasm as that of Prince Louis. | A mecting was held atthe Rue de Poictiers last night, | at which it was resolved that no opposition should be | made to the admission of Prince Louis tothe Assembly. | A meeting of the Club of the Palais Royal was also held. which appointed a committee to confer with General Cavaignac on the state of affairs. ‘The propositions | made to the General consisted of an offer of the support of the meeting on the following condition ta | diminution of the tax on salt; second, a creatio ‘pa- | per money, secured by,mortgage; third, the change of terially changed since our last, but there has been an improved feeling in the share market. The following are the quotations for English secunties: —Consols for money opened on Thursday at 86) a 86}, and after having touched 86j, closed at their first price; for the account they left off at 86} a 863; and exchequer bills, June, 27s. to 30s. The halt-yearly meeting of the court of the pro- prietors of the Bank of England was held on Thursday, which the Times thus notices :— “T he result of the half yearly court of proprietors to-day was, what the rate of dividend to be declared will be by ballot. “The recommendation of the directors was in favor of a distribution of 3} per cent, free from income, on the ground that the immediate profits for the half year did not warrant a larger amoums. | A number of proprietors, however, took another yported, an amendment for increasing the divi- | fend to 44 percent. which was put, and carried by a considerable majority.” _ ‘At the time of the sailing of the America, there was considerable excitement in Ireland, and a strong feeling prevailed in some quarters thata real rebellion had broken out inthe South. We had very little doubt but that the disturbance would turn out to be unimportant, and that its character would have more of a social than a political com- plexion. Such now appears to be the case. As to the probable result of the trials, various opinions are hazarded, and a variety of reports are put into circulation as to the course which the government intends to adopt, in case it should be successful in securing verdicts. Ireland, s The belief entertained that a positive rebellion | has broken out in Ireland, is, to a certain extent, | without foundation; but it is nevertheless true, that predatory bands of armed men had turned out in hostile array, encamped in almost inacces- | sible positions, and openly defied the military authorities. Numerous attacks had been made | upon the police and non-eympathising residents. Those demonstrations, however so purposeless in themselves, and so well calculated to inspire alarm, particularly in En land, have in a, considerable degree subsided though the rash insurgents are from being dispersed. "The lest agcounts from Ireland state that the neighborhood of Carrick-on-Suir is still much disturbed; that the insurgents occupy formidable localities upon the mountains; that signal fires are lighted every night, and that the utmost vigilance of the military and police failed to crush the dis- ig oe is kept up after Doheny and other leaders who are known to be with the insurgents, but as yet without the slightest effect. ee ‘ ¢ Commission was ned on ureday, when my bills were found sgainet Mr. O'Brien and Mr. | MoManut others of lesser note, Copies of tl re delivered as well as an ae- egg ged 4 sede ‘to the Traversers.

The unsettled state of political affairs on the Conti- ment continues to have s very depressing influence, not only in the manufacturing districts, but in com- meroial operations generally, and most descriptions of colonial and foreign produce have, this weok, been cheaper to sell. The weather, simce our last, has been most favorable for harvest operations in the north, and the crops are being rapidly secured. Regarding potatoes, however, the ecoounts continue extremely confilcting—in moet districts great apprehensions be- ing entertained of their not keeping sound when pitted. Mon¢y continues easy.

Louis Napoleon had not arrived, nor, from what we knowin England, was he likely to do so. Still the report that he had left Lon- don and wason his way to the French capital, pro- vailed so strongly that crowds of his excited admirers continued to congregate round the Hall of Assembly. The news of a further armistice between King Charles Albert and the Emperor of Austria, for a period of six weeks, is confirmed; and further, that the three go- vernments of England, France, and Austria, have agreed that the city of Venice shall remain free and unoceupied during the term of an armistice.

Cavaignac has decited not to object to Louis Napoleon’s taking his reat. It is also reported that he has taken extensive precautionary steps to prevent another insurrection, by the movement of a large body of troops towards the capital. It appears that the report of Louis Napoleon's hav- ing been returned for the Department of Orne, was in- correct; the legitimist candidate has been declared elected in that Department, ‘The election of Count Mole, for Bordeaux, is con- sidered certain. In the Assembly, the debate on the inviolability of roperty was prolonged on Thursday toa late hour. ‘bis question involves the right of the government to impose a property tax, if it should hereafter be found necessary or desirable, and is a very obnoxious mea- sure toa large partyin the Assembly. The debate was adjourned after much irritating discussion, The a, account.of the. Bankof-Framee is very favorable. it shows a credit of upwards of fifty-six millions of francs, which fact puts an end to any doubts shat existed as to the payment of the dividends now about due. We observe that the Paris papers puss over with very slight notice the prevailing rumor of a change of the administration, without either confirming or de- ny ing its authenticity, ‘We are glad to learn from these papers that the dis- turbances at Elireuf have been eompletely quelled. The acccunts received from Algeria represent the ineurrectionary mevement which had broken out there as not of an alarming or important character. The election for the department of the North was net decided. Colonel Negrier had still a slight ad- vantage over Louis Napoleon in the Mosel Changes of an important mature in the Ministry are spoken of, and a crisis is looked for. Cavaignac, who isasbrewd man, has seen the weakness of the Ministry, and the necessity of getting rid of them He must throw himself either on the left or right. A eombination of gg is spoken of—one Dufaure Vi- nd the M.M. de Ledru Rollin and Flocon. To the latter, however, Cavaignac inclines. ‘The news principally stirring in Paria relates now to ate of Venice, which the governments of Eng- land, France, and even Austria, are agreed upon main- taining in statu quo, that is, free of an Austrian gar- rison. The armistice prolonged for 45 days, will thus be understood throughout Italy. There is no doubt of England and France having in- terposed in the Sicilian warfare bh The a ubject of conversation in the, lobbies of the N le Assembles Salles des Conference, on Friday, was the ministerial crisis. The club of deputies of the Palais National decided in its sit ting the previous evening, that a committee cho- sen from amongst its members should wait on the head of the executive government to submit & new programme, which, among other things, should propose the suppression of duty on salt, the creation of mortgage paper, the removal of a great number of prefects, sub-prefects, and other administrative func- tionaries, The new programme probably could not be carried into effect but by & new ministry. The deputation went on Friday tothe hotel of the President of the Council. M. Glas Bizoin spoke in the name of the meeting. Gen. Cavaignac declared a change in cabi- het might then be inopportune, but the movement would come when the eminent talent in the Assembly might be made useful. ‘The Patrie says :—*We believe we are well founded in saying that the ministerial combinations have been in agitation, between the Executive Government and several influential members of the two principal classes of deputies. There was a question of forming a ministry to be composed as follows :—Gen De Lamo- rictere; MM. Goudchaux, Z. Verninhac, and Thouret. were to retain their posts, and the other portfolios were tobe held by General Bedeau, foreign affairs; M, Dufaure, interior, and M. Leon de Malleville, public instruction, This combination failed for want of coming to @ programme,” ‘The same paper adds :— “ At the commencement of the sitting in the Assem- bly on Friday, there was a talk of an arrangement be- tween Cavaignac and Ledru Rollin to form a new ministry. taken exclusively from the club of the Palais Nationale, and from that of the absolute democratic arty. This combination has also failed ; end it bas Been decided that things shall remain as they are for the present.’ So strong was the opinion of a change being likely to take place in the ministry, that all eyes were di- rected to hear from Gen, ( ignac In the Assembly, some explanation of his, in regard to the 1éth article of the constitution, was creating much angry discussion. This article varies the knotty question of property and taxation Mr, Goudchaux is an cate for progressive pro- perty taxation, as distinguished from a general uny: rying per centage or inceme, and it was thought the article in question had been 40 insidiously framed, as to commit the Assembly to @ principle, the opponents of which regard as not only tory, but confisca- tory, Progressive taxation, means that man, instead of paying ro much per cent on his inceme, without reference to its amount, must paya per centage rated, and perhaps arbitrarily rated, according to his weait Since writing the above, we learn that Louis Napo- Jeon bas been beaten im the Orne.

It is now certain that L.. Napoleon has been returned for the Moselle, and Count Mole for the Gi- rond; also, M. Gent for Vauclese, and as all but cer- tain, M. Laseaye for L’Heraut, This place, it will be remembered, was made vacant by the previous election being quashed, on account of intimidation practised by this Lassayo, His opponent was the Abbe Ge- nonde, The papers comment freely upon Kossuth’s resignation in Hungary, considering it a preventive tien Latest accounts from Elbronef, mention that the dieturbances had been completely quelied, and the men had all quietly returned to their work, on the condition which they had at first refused. The troops marched to that district have returned to quarters. The accounts from the other nufacturing dis- tricts were favorable.

Shortly before the note ma- tured, it was sent to Ohio, to a man named Warner, to collect. Warner sent word that he was unable to col- lect the amount, and that Keeler had no means; it was then said that plaintiffs wrote him back word to dispose of it in the best manner he could. Warner then gave the note, afer it was due, to the defendant, with whom he had dealings, in payment of adebt for $100, which he, (Warner,) owed to Ketcham.

The defence proposed to prove by the witness, who is a commissioner for Con} necticut, the law of that State in relation to mar- riage. A book was produced which was alleged to be @ copyof the laws of Connecticut, but the District Attor- ney opposed the introduction of such evidence, con- tending that th? law must be proven by a counsellor of the State in which the law prevailed, or the copy im- troduced must be certified as correct by the Seoretary of said State, under the seal of the State.

Counsel for defence prayed for a stay of judgment until Monday, in order that he might take the necessary steps to carry the case up on a bill of exceptions. To this the District Attorney objected that he could not consent to abate any part of his duty in this matter; he felt called upon, he said, to urge the judgment of the Court im this case; he was determined to do his duty im these matters, although the State executive did, by the exercise of th pard Siate rison as fast as he could get themin at the other.
