BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH FROM HALIFAX TO PORT- LAND, AND THENCE BY BAIN’S LINE, (OPEICH NO. 29 WALL #TREET,) TO NEW YORK. Hatrrax Tevxorarn Orricr, Fripay, January 24, 1851. The American steamer Arctic, Capt. Luce, from Liverpool, January 11, arrived here shortly after eleven o’clock this forenoon. *he has thirty-five passengers, and has a full freight of valuable goods- It is understood that the Arctic will sail for New York at twelve to-night. We regret to learn that the Arctic brings no news of the Atlantic. We now think that we shall receive intelligence of her safety by the Canada, to , arrive next week. The revenue schooner goes | to Sable Island to-morrow, and on her return we may hear of her. The Arctic will probably arrive at New York early on Monday morning. The America arrived at Liverpool on Monday afternoon, the 7th. The cotton market was dull, with a drooping ap- pearance. Prices, though not actually lower than by the Asia’. advices, are yet much less firm, espe- cially in middling and lower descriptions of Amen- can. The weekly sale. are stated at 23,760 bales. Speculators took about 1,600, and exporters 1,000 bales. The flour and grain trade is extremely languid, the transactions going torward being only ‘or im- mediate wants. Western Canal flour is quoted at 20s. a 2ts. 6d; Philadelphia and Baltimore, at 23s. Corn has receded sixpence, and is in active de- mand. Quotations:— White, 321; yellow, 30s. a Bls.; mixed, 208. a 30s. In the provision market, there is more business doing, especially in beet—good qualities new, commanding very full rates. The high rates for pork have checked busmness, but the advance is likely to be sustained. There is a moderate demand for new bacon Really fine commands extreme rates. Old hams move slowly. Nonewin market. No shoulders in market. The demand for lard is not extensive, but holders have established an advance of sixpence. Fine cheese moves readily, at full prices. Tallow is oarely supported. The English general news possesses no feature of special interest. Great excitement bad prevailed at Paris during the week, in consequence of the resignation, en ‘masse, of the ministry. This was caused firet by the open hostility of the President towards Chan. garnier, who, in defiance cf the earnest protes- ation of the ministry, was given permission on the instant, and bya decided majonty, to justify his conduet,before the Assembly. Boththe'rightand,left warmly applauded the General, when the ministry abruptly withdrew, and with equal abruptness re- signed in a body. The President experienced great difficulty in the formation of a new cabiaet, M. Barrot having refused to accept office. This state of things continued for nearly a week» when, as we learn from a telegraphic despatch, dated Paris, Friday evening, kindly furnished by | Captain Luce, the Moritewr appeared with the President’s speech, and the official announcement of Drouyn de I’Huys, for Foreign Affairs, and General Keynaud des Jean de Anglev, for the War Office, with new appointments also of Minis ters of Merine, Public Works, and Commerce. Another decree, signed by the Ministers of the Interior and of War, is published, revoking the jJecree by which the National Guard and the troops of the first division were united under one com- mand. The effect of this decree is to abolish the | post heretofore held by Gen. Changarnier. Gea Perriot takes command of the National Guard, and the troops of the first division are to be commanded by Gen. Baraguay'd’Hillers. He enters upon his duty by gen orders to the Army of Paris, in which he explains the object of his mission, and | states that be will maintain the discipline which | his predecessor had established. He aiso states that he will uphold the authority established by the constitution, and give energetic support in the execution of the laws. A postecrijt to the despatch, under date of seven | o'clock, states that a motion had been made ia the Assembly that the members should retire to their bureaus, until the preparation of resolutions expre® sive of the sense of the legislature in regard to re- cent events; which motion was carried, against the active oppoeition of the ministry, by a vote of | 300 to 253. Great confusion is stated to have prem vailed in the Assembly after the declaration of the vote. Very little wae done at the Bourse on Friday. ives opened at 94f, Fec., and closed at HIF. Ge. In regord to the German question, though there ore many probable and improbable rumors, nothing is actually known; the purpores of the cooferences t Dresden being scrupulously secret, which, it is nudged, is not a favorable augury. The tone ot tnumph which pervades the bearing of Prince Schwarzenberg, and the growing hostilites of the Chambers at Berlin, which met on the 3d instant, are also named as evidences of an unsatisfactory state of the negotiation. At the latest dates, 7th inat., Prince Schwarzenberg’s mission to Vienna ia stated to have failed of its intended object. The Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia have agreed to meet at Dresden about the middie of this month. The commissioners to arrange the difficulties between the duchies had arrived at Rensburg, and * tthe Intest dave bad given the authorities three cays to cons.der what course they would pursue. Meantime, the government and the people’s repre- sentatives in Wurtemburg are at loggerheads upon the subject of voting the supplies; and there ap pears to be a probability that a second edition of the Hesse Cassel affair will finally be enacted in that small territory. The accounts from Rome of the activity of Mazzi, and other Italian refugees, give us reason to think that any serious difficulty at Paris would be instantly seized upon to unfurl the re- publican banner in the Holy City, where the French soldiers have become so obnoxious that they are indiscriminately assassinated by the citi- zens, on every possible occasion. From Spain we have nothing beyond the usual weekly statement of the resignation of the Nar- vaez cabinet, which this time was caused by the Queen’s having received that gentleman coldly. Mogland. The Board of Trade returns for the month end. ing December 5, show an increase in the ports, over the corresponding month of the previous year, of rising £671,000.

The pelicy of protec- tion is now wholly rejected by the government. Financial Affairs. Formal notice has been given that the Bank of Eng- land will not further adv: ite rate of interest. The effect has been, with the payments of dividends, to make the money market much easier. The last report given,gives the amount of bullion in the bank, at a trifle less than £14,100,000, English securities have been well supported, and there has been an increased de- mand for American stocks. Exchanges having im- proved, more paper is offered than for some time past. Bullion, therefore, is im less request, and can scarcely be disposed of. Late dates from the contineat show an advancing rate in the quotations ef exchange, Gold coin has also further advanced. Consols open- ed on Wednesday at 96%, and closed on Friday at 96%. ‘The following is the latest quotations for American seourities :— United Btates 6’ New York Btat BY MORSE’S MAGNETIO TELEGRAPH.
