The Cambria arrived at Boston on Saturday nt 4 P. M., bringing -aixtcon days later intelligence, the most imporiant details of which will be found bolowr. Liverpool Gkaíx Marxet. - Our report published for the departure of the Sarnh Sands, on tbe2Oth uit., left the two chief markeis in England- London and fjiverpool--with a downward tondency in prices, and the operations by consigneer and speculators much more limited ; since tbat day the imports have been very extensivo and a'l the large sales have been mado. The stock of flour in Liverpool alone is estimated nt 500,000 barrels acd a corresponding slock of grain. There w.a prevailing opinión that the British corn grower liavc large stocks; which with a temporary suspension of navigation laws, and the repeal of the inr portduty tenas íoeheck speculation, and will, it is presumed, produce a rcaction, bothin price and the extent of fuure operaiions. Thisaction was fh ia London on the lst instant, when wheat óeclined from 4 to 5s per quarter. In Liverpool on the following doy prices wera 4s lower on Indian corn,4s on flour, and 2s per load on wheat. The market for provisions is steady. The iron market is not so brisk as la&t reponed, further reduced rates having been submiited to „ for pig. Prices of Mexican iron continue fully ns high. - The tea market is rather dull. ThO accounts from the manufneturing districts are still unsatisfaclory. In cotton fabrics only a small business is being transacd and prices are very irregular. Havre, Jan. 31. - Asudden and total chango has occurred in the ituaüon of things,oying to the intelligence from New Yorkupto the 9th instant received in Liverpool, which gave rise to an animatcd and speculaiive demand, nnd imparted coresponding feelingin our market.

During he fortnight spoculutors have been exiensively purchasing. Prico;: have ad van eed considernbly bsyondour quotationsof the lst inst. Latterly :hf mrket has taken a turn and less business is being transacted, and pricea have assumad a downward tendency. Tho doings of the British Parlimeni are intoresting - the three principal mensures being the entire remission of the corn duty, the suspension of the navigation laws, and a proposed remission of sugar du'.ics. The state of commercial and monetary añairssince the eailing of the last ste;;mor, has been one of extreme peculiarity and interest. The lnrge drains upon the Bank of England lo meel the demands caused by tho extensivo importation of grain produce, and all other sorts of provisions into the kingdom, has induced tho government to raise their rates of interest. This causijd business generally to be dull. There appenra lo be no mitigation in accounts of sufTering by famine in I reland. The amounts being rnised by ubscription and otherwise for their relief are very liberal, and will, when applied do much to alleviate their suffer. ing. France. - We have accounts of moro disturbance and the threntened famine. ThO French government howerer, aro taking measures to avert the oalnmity. Gkrmany. - Accounts from Prussia are lmost as distressing as thoso from Ireland. In the manufacturing districts, particularlv, tho destitution is very alarming, and robberies are of frequent occurjrence.
