baat SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 11, 1849. TELEGRAPHIC. ARRIVAL or Tux CAMBRIA AT BOSTON. Important from Russia. THE PACIFIC ASPECT OF AFFAIRS, Renner Another Advance in Cotton. THD BUROPEAN MAILS, &e. &e. &e. The steamship Cambria, Captain Leitch, arrived at Boston yesterday morning, at 10 o’clock, and her mails will reach this city this morning. The Cambria left Liverpool on Saturday, the 27th of October. We have only an item from Russia, but that is important. To-morrow we shall give the full de- tails of the news. The money market continued without change. Discount at 2} to 8 per cent for commercial. Con- sols opened on Monday, the 22d, at 92, at which they continved upto Friday, the 26th, whea the pacific advices from Russia caused them to advance at the opening 4, and they finally closed firm at 925. The transactions in American securities conti- nve limited, and have been confined to U. S. Loan @ percents 1054, Maryland 5 per cents 86, Penn- sylvania 5 per cents 77. The advices from France report business active, both in home consumption and orders from abroad. ‘The immense number of foreigners in Paris cause much activity in that city, where many agents of large English houses are buying extensively. Cre- dit is replacing cash transactions, which betokeas a more settled state of affairs. ‘The America arnved at Liverpool on the 2Ist ult. ‘We learn from a passenger, that just as the Cambria was leaving, later news was received trom India, which was said to be of a favorable charac- ter. The general tone of business affairs during the past week, has been of a healthy character. The cotton market was active in the early part of the week, and on Monday, the 221, speculators operated to a considerable extent, buying at an advagce on the currency of the previous week of one-eighth to one-fourth of a peany per pound, on neatly all descriptions. Subsequently less activity prevailed. The estimated sales up to 2 o'clock, (on Friday, the 26th, probably,) amount to 62,710 bales, and the market closed on Friday vith a quiet but steady feeling. Quotations—Fair Orleans, 6}; ordinary to mid- dling, 54 a 6}. ‘The present estimated stock at Liverpool is about 421,000 bales, of which 230,000 are American. ‘The cora trade throughout the country is very quiet, buyers only operating to meet immediate wants; holders had not been able to maintaia the quotations of the previous week, and prices gene- rally had sulla declining teudency. Indian corn was still held with firmness, but the soles were very limited. In the provision market business had been steady, and at firm prices. In the early part of the week, lurge were made, atan advance of 1s. te per cwt.— ‘This advance, however, was not sustained bythe trade at a subsequent sale at auction. In beef few eules had been made, but prices are steady, without change. Pork had been in good demand, and low quali- ties Were becoming scarce. Hams of fair quality were wonted, end would sell readily at 30 4 354; | shoulders had been bought rather more treely at from 18 to 21s., in anticipation of being used as a substitute for lower qualities. In lard a good business had been done, at rates tomewhat easier, Sales of 100 tons at 34s. a 86s. Sales of turpentiae amounted to 2,000 bbls. at Gs. Cd. a 7s. per owt., which is some improvement. Sosin was in far demand at 2s, 10d. per ewt. there had been an extensive demand ter tobacco at full prices. ‘The demaed for iron was on a dim{nished scale, and prices were scarcely £0 firm as quoted a week previous, The accounts from the woollen and manufactu- ring districts showed that busiaess was more inuc- tive than it had been for some time; oeverthele trade was steady, and the operative classes were tolerably well employed. In the produce market there had beea more ac- tivity, quotations evidencing the desire to Increase stocks—prices in many instances had slightly ad- vanced. Freighta at Liverpool were unusually dull, and rates had declined, po rly to New York. Passengers were leas numerous, and lower fares were demanded.

The Great Question of Republicanism, or Despotiam— Where is it to be settled ? It is probably the turn of the United States to be made a cat’s-paw by the British oligarchy, ‘Thore is nothing in the world which will so effectaally serve ail the grand objects of this government, as to bring sbout ‘s rupture between you and France. With the dexterity of a wise aud unscrupulous enemy of the principles on which the Union is founded, and which have been propagated! by ite example throughout the breadth of Europe, England bas accomplished the ruin of every revolutionary movement, except that of Fe- bruary, 1848, in France. She it is who bas issued orders to her Inferiors, advised with her equals, and lavished her funds to secure the ascendancy of monarchy over republicanism, She has been everywhere triumphant exeept in France, where the instantaneousness of the resumption by the people of their rights caught even her vigilance by surprise. The French revolution took but three days to begin, perfect itself, and end, In the twinkling of an eyo, as it were, the society which had been for ages the eame inverted pyramid extsting in this country, found, its base upom equal righte and Universal suffrage. In three days the eightoon years’ faithful bard work of Louis Philippe, with all the moral and intellectual support of the English aristocracy, was reversed, and, like another Sysiphus, the prodi- et stone he had placed upon its apex, found the velover his prostrate body Why, it took him # hundred times as long to steal and eroct the Egyptian obeliek on the Pii de Is Concorde, But still the English government. although it crashed the rebellions in Hangary and Sicily, and Veuies, aod Rome, and throughout the continent, br moving the pee upon the ehese-board, failed but by a hair in f republicanism in ach presidency was Cavaignac, bees fi well that if he was elected, the people of Paris, who had beeu wantonly rlwughtered by thousends, and tens of thousands, ia June, 1648, st his order, would have gone off in utter dirgust to join the monarchists in upaetiing the re- public, out of horror and rage at the conduct of the fresident, while he was the Engiish candidate for the office, at the hamds of the Assembly, if p»ssible, but if not, by universol suffrage. ‘he election of Louis Bonaparte was, therefore, @ most unexpected and an- welcome result, It was the second great surpriss, aud almost as overwhelming as the firsy.

We cannot too often impress upon the public the fact, that upon Prussia having detinttively takea her stand among stitutional States, she thus ofiered one of the best guarantees against Eurepe by og either Ruesian or red republican. Prus- tiun now implying the whole German race, or at least founGfike thereof, this accession of five and thiny millons of freemen to the cause of civilize. tion, may well dispel every fear of Earope crouch. ing under the whip of the Cossack, or the knout of the Russian. The Germans being a highly culti- vated people—thoughrful, and at the same time imag inative— could only, in the first intoxieation of ¢ their pew liberty, adopt the coarse jargon, the ribald blasphemirs, and the wild political tenets of the recialist school. Upon becoming again sober, their fret ect was to range themselves under the { order and liberty, which Prussia had just raieed. Io the meantime, no errer could reater than to enppose that the love of liberty, in ming Wirer in that country, has become more y ot the uaiversal German nnuad, wiih ite hig! pirations, and ite + of deep and fearless investigation, Of the universality of this determination of pur- pose in the present Teutonic race, we cannot give & more convincing proof than the show of homage paid to it by the Austrion government.

Oaly two of the States into which that ceuntry is divided—Austria and Prussia—have any pretensions to become the head of the proposed union. Austria—whether for good or evil we will not petene to say—has, ia the estimation of nine-teaths of the German people, disqualified herself, by her proverbial predilections for strong government, for this high office. Be- sides, they look with unconquerable repugnance, and with no little admixture of fear, to the possi- bility of the ascendancy of a power which ts as de- pendent on the great despot of the North, as ifa hook had been fixed in its nose, with a line attach- ed to it in the hands of the Ozar. As long asa Mugyar of the present generation lives, and as long as any vestige of the smoking ruins of the towas are equally determined upon | and villoges of his country remains, so long will this connection between Austria and Russia con- tnue unchanged. | Were the Austrian govern- ment to show the slightest inclination in favor of liberal institutions, the Russian Emperor, in the pre- sent exasperated state of Hongarian feeling, would only have to hold up his litde finger to raise that country again, and induce her to yo he off for ever her allegiance to the house of Hapsburg Lorraine. ‘Theretore, a power so dependant upon another, will | never be so fur trusted by the universal German people, as to tempt them to place it at the head of their darling scheme of a Umted_ Fatherland.— Their choice, therefore, devolves, from necessity, upon the other pretender; and we have already pretty satisfactorily proved that on this oceasion necessity and reason go hand in hand. The Prus- sian sovereiga and people have no predilection whatever for what is called strong government ; on the contrary, all their affections and interests have the contrary tendency. Prussia can never be greater than she is now, except by going with the spirit of the age, and placing herself at the head of the pre- sent German movement. She is strong, it is true, inthe proverbial loyalty ot her people—in their spirit of nationality, in their historical recollee- tions. She will, however, be much stronger when toallthese is added the all-quickening spirit of liberty, tempered by order, and perpetuated, like the fire in the temple of Vesta, by er admirable system ot universal education. We can readily picture to cureelyes Prussian greybeards in, every province of the kingdom, recounting with pride, to groups of juvenile listeners, the exploits of the | greatest of theirmonarchs, and the equally glorious cevds in the great war of independence, when the, Prossien people rose as one men, and, tearing off the jron yoke from taeir necks, flung itin the face of the foreign oppressor. But we cannot, by any stretch of imagination, picture to ourselves a Lom- | bard, Venetian, or Magyar father, recounting with similar pride to his children the glories of the house of Hepsburg Lorraine.

Looking over the line proposed to berna, every man of intelligence will be im- preseed wt once with the practicability of the roate, and satisfied that the profits arising from the line will be considerable. Indeed, the proposition 1s 80 plain, that we feel essured the enterprise will soon 9 into operation. ns For the mere purposes of commerce, this line would afford great conveniences, and in view of the constantly increasing intercouse bewaen those portions of the centinent contiguous to Genoa and the stepping places on the Mediterranean, with the United States, the West Indies, and Mexico, the travel must be immense. Not only this—the ex- citement im regard to the gold in California, is rapidly extending on the continent, and will, une ae dly, lead t tensi mmerctal projects, which will result advantageously ; and, as a con- er quence, induce ag deal of travel that way. In addition, with the convenience at hand of a hae ol fine commodious sieamers, many persons, as well for business as pleasure, will prefer visiting the eontinent by this mode, then eailing for & lend. In a word, we think it one of the most wisely projected enterprises that have been brougit forwerd for sometime. 4 To Mobile it will probably, in its res Important than thet of the Royal West line. It will afford at once the means o adircet trade and a more constant intercommuni- cation with asection of Enrope with which we have heretofore had very litte intercourse.

E. of the river, 12 miles from ite mouth, on a direct line. Under the management of SO. Knapp, the company have shipped about fifty tons of copper this season, which is an extra- ordinary return, considering the time the mine has been worked, the small amount that has been ex- peuded, and the present depth of the workings. This company are at work on a vein running nearly east end west, and dipping to the north at an angle ot 56 deg., that showed evidences of hav- ing been worked hundreds of years age by a race of people now extinct. Tne vein is from three to six feet wide atthe top, and exposes its out crop for over one mile in lepgth. A great part of the distance there hus been nearly a contiauous ditch, dug along the surface of the vein by the ancient miners, from six to ten feet deep, and with now and then a shaft or hole dug still deeper. The deepest one that has yet been examined does not exceed 25 feet. In the bottom of these ditches and holes, wherever they have been cleaned out, are found masses of copper imbedded in the rock; around (hese masses are found the stone hammers that the old miners worked with. The pr-semt workings of the company consist principally of two thafts cunk on the vein, one 45 and the other 5d feet deep. In sinking them, the vein found to increase in richness and grow wider as they de- scend. The shafis ure 150 teet apart, and are connected by a drift or level at the bottom. Im driving through the drift masses of copper, averag- jog from four to eighteen inches in thickaess, were found along the wall of the vein, at irregular inter+ yals—not one solid mass or wall of copper, as had been represented—vorying ia weight froma few pounds to many tons. From this drift the 60 tons spoken of as shipped were taken, and these is plenty inore still in sight. They have lately com- menced sinking a new shaft 160 feet farther west, and at its present depth, 12 fat, there has beem tome 300 Ibs. taken out, and there is a sheet of cop; er setting im that now shows five feet in length at the bettomof it. They have 70 men at work, and are increasing the number as fast as they cam get accommodations ready for them. From _pre= sent appearances, they will be able to ship from thrree to 400 tous next season. The Adventure Mining Company, formed this spring, is located five miles east of the Minnesota, on the same range. ‘They have had a few men employed this summer in exploring their location and cleaning out the old diggumgs that are scattered over uw. They have invanably tound copper wherever they have made an opening. They have now a force of six men employed in running a drift on one of their veins, commencing at iis out crop, about 200 feet below the top of the hull through which itrans. The vein stone 1s thickly impreguated with copper, from the commencement. The Astee Company, adjoini the Adventure on the east, have a splendid show o| copper on the surtace. They will probably keep but two or three men employed this winter. The Algonquin Company, and the Douglass Houghtom Company both made good discoveries some three years back, but for some reason, they have let ther lay idle. Mr. Donglass is now expected up to resume operations tais fall. This includes all the mines now in operation on the east side of the river. On the west side the Forrest Company, formerly the Ontonagoa Copper Come pany, have made a pew discovery within a few days back, fj miles from the river. Mr. W. H. Stephens, the agent of the company here, in exe ploring, found some ancient diggings, and uj having them cleaned out, they proved, as they usually do, to be on a vein. ‘Lf have not seen it, Lot l understand that it is a fine prospect. They have from twelve to fifteen hands employed. The Oho Trap Rock, and other companies on the west side of the river, have good shows, but are not doing much mining at present. There wil bea large amount of business done here next season, and the importance of a harbor for Jane vessels begins seriously to be felt. The mouth of this river is the only available point tor a harbor oa the coast for 70 miles each way, It ie obstructed by a send bar at its mouth, on which there 1s geaerally six feet of water; inside of the bar there is water enough for the st class of steambuats. s--A fizht took Hornivte Tragepy in Anka: ce at Columbia, Atkacsas, on Saturday, the 7th wlume, whieh has bably proved fatal to both parties engaged.
