SIXTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. Decline in Breadstuff's—Advance in Cotton—Money Market Relieved— Deat h of Dr. Chalmers and Daniel O’Connell. The steamer Cambria,‘Capf.

The substance of her nous we have received by telegraph, as follows; Among the passengers in die Cambria are , Mi*. Polk, U. S'ates Charge at Naples, and the Right Rev.

Another paragraph stated that the French steamer (Jhnstophe Colombo, for New Voik, was to leave Cherbourg instead of Havre some time during the week, but not on the 31st ult. as was previously announced. It is said that nearly 2GU passengers hud taken passage in her. R. G. Beasley. Esq., for many years Arne- ! rican Consul at Havre, died on the Ust of June. All the American ships at that port | had their flags at half-mast during the day. The Cambria brings about £30,000 ster- i ling in specie. The differences between the Queen of i Spain and her consort had risen to such a height, that the propriety of adopting imme- I ■diate measures to secure a divorce bad been i -discussed in the Cabinet. Queen Christina j had gone to Rome to use her influence at | the Vatican to prevent Queen Isabella from obtaining a divorce, and thus to secure the succession of the Duchess of Montpensier and her consort to the Spanish throne. The Mexican privateer which captured the American bark Carmelita, is supposed to he nothing' but a Spanish pirate. The civil war in Portugal was still in pro- I gress at the latest accounts, the 19 li nit., ihoughyaclual hostilities had been for a sea eon suspended.. The house of Roberts, Freeman &, Co., of Manchester, has failed, to the amount it is said, of £50,000 or £ 60,000. There are four or live houses in Marn hester who have i claims for £ 4000 or £5900 each, and the amount owing by the concern in Yorkshire : is said to be very large. Liverpool, June 4th, 1847. Corn Market . —Notwithstanding the strong expectations entertained previously to the ‘ departure of the last steamer, that the Corn Market would maintain its upward ten dencyi the unusual fineness of the weather, promising a favorable home harvest, had the effect of materially depressing pricess, and of course contracting the extent of average transactions. The advices, however, brought by the Cal- I edonia of light stocks in the American p 'ns, have created considerable activity, which | aided by the decided relaxation that has taken | place in the pressure of the money market, ; has largely tended to establish a disposition to speculate. The reports,though tinaulhen- ; ticated, of a probable failure of the potato crop both in Ireland and Jersey, have also j had their influence. The markets have, in point of fact, fallen 20s. per quarter from the highest point; bus though flour had declined to 40s. per bbl. it is now worth 425. to 4-Js. and may be fairly quoted at 43s for best Western. Sour averages 375. to 38s. per bbl. American wheat 10s. 6d. to 12s. 6d. per 70 lbs. Indian Corn is tolerably steady at 525. per quarter for inferior, to 575. lor prune or yellow; and in some instances, owing to (he increased demand from Ireland, j white has commanded 2s per qualrer above j the currency of yellow.

CoUsh.~~ The tone of this market since the departure of the last steamer, has mate rially improved. The appearance of short receipts and of a backward season fur the growing crop, has caused a decided advance. The improvement is likewise in a great measure attributable to the greater ease in the money market; so that on the whole, the condition and prospects of the cotton trade present a very encouraging aspect, ihe sales for the week ending the 28th ult. amounted to 39.000 bales. Upland descrip tions rated at 6|d. to 7d; Orleans 5| to BAd.; Alabamaand Mobile sijd. to 7|-d- f and Sea Is land to per lb,; East India is quot ed to per lb. higher since the last steamer. The market retains an unques tionably firm character, and inquiries trom the trade are more limn ordinarily general. In the Manchester market there is an obvious desire to purchase, but the ascending disposition of our market has checked trans actions, and led to the relinquishment of heavy contracts which would otherwise be accepted. The orders now executing for the U. States, are heavier than have been know for many years. Metals. —The Caledonia brought consi derable orders for manufactured iron, and as the storks in the United States are gene rally presumed to be light,there is every like lihood that the shipments to that quarter w ill continue good. The prices here are tolera- b>y well supported, with the exception only ; ot Welsh iron, which is somewhat easier of purchase. British bar is quoted at £9 7s. to £9 10s.; rods £lO ss. to £lO 10-; sheets average £il 15s. Cargo in Wales, bars £8 10s. to £8 155.; Welsh rig £o to £5 55., Scotch pig in Glasgow £3 13s 6d. to £3 17s. N > material alteration has taken place in tin, lead or copper; but U.

Kfl J cheese maintain a fair price, and Ihe | consumption has been unsually great within I tlie* ia>t three months. Hams are general y dull, with a tendency to the accumulation ol | I inferior stocks. Altogether there is no dis- I p i-i ion to deal largely in provisions.

A small portion ol the Russian I loan has arrived, and the hinds have ntuler | gone little or no variation, owing in a 'great j measure to I tie improved complexion of the i corn market, \esterdav, however, the money ! market was rather flat in London, and consols closed lower than the opening price.

[Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce .] j LIVERPOOL June 3. i'he continuance of I i remarkably favorable weather for the growing crops of grain, gives promise now of a harvest at least as earlv as the average ot seasons, instead of a very late one, as there was reason a month ; i ago to apprehend; and the prospects for the crops j 1 on the Continent appear to be equally encourag- j i ing.

Gentlemen — In consequence of seeing very , erroneous accounts of a skirmish which took place between a war party of the L'pan In dians and a portion of the troops under the command of Col. Doniphan published in some of the ephemeral papers primed at the posts held by our Army of Occupation, I hasten to give you some facts concerning it to prevent the evil tendency some oi those false reports might have upon the public mind. 'Phis engagement has been over looked, owing to its minor importance and the com parative small number engaged, yet it affords to the public a better example of the indom itable spirit and gallant heroism of the Mis souri troops than either Brazilo or ISucra- I memo. | While Col. Doniphan’s column was on its march from Chihuahua to Saltillo a small ad vance party under Capt. Reid of about 30 rank and file arrived at El Poso (twenty-five j miles above Parras) very early on the morn ing of ihe 13'h May. About 9, A. M.,a party of Ind ans were seen emerging from a gap of the mountains, distant about five miles, j and making direct for the rancho. Our troops , went out at full gallop nearly half a mile to ! meet them. When within thirty or forty I steps of each oilier, the Indians discharged a | few arrows, when the Americans fired their 1 entire volley at them. Immediately the In \ dians raised the veil and rushed in on them, 1 j discharging their arrows with astonishing | rapidity. Our men were forced to retreat i about one hundred yards to load, when they, in their turn charged the enemy and forced ; them to retreat. Thus alternately did they ; charge, keeping up the contest for two hours • ; vv til much spirit, our troops gaining inch by j ; mch of ihe ground by dint ol hard fighting, ; | while the Indians held it with much tenacity, j i and yielding it only with their lives. The ; Indians numbering between fifty and sixty, j | and iheir superior horsemanship gave them i I much advantage, notwithstanding which j | they were forced to fail back before the noble j | daring of Capt. Reid and his little band. Capt. Reid, who was ably assisted by ! j Lieu’s Gordon, Spmule and Winston, was i the only,, American Wounded. lie bad satisfaction of driving Hie Indians entirely i j off the ground, carrying With them all Hour j ! wounded and some dead, yes leaving sis- ; j teen on the field. iNine Mexican prisoners . • were taken from them and restored to liber- I j ty, and about 1000 head of liorsds and mules, ! | which, as far as practicable, were returned i to Mexicans, from whom Hiey had been taken, i Capt. Reid had Hie gratification ot receiv ing an official document from tire citizens of j Parras, through the prefect of the city, ex- I pressive of their admiration and gratitude for j Ins noble conduct, and sympathy fur his , wounds. Yours, &c. L. A. M. r l\j show to what consideration this gal lant regiment isentilled at the hands of our c/liZens and their countrymen generally, we annex the following record of their move ments, with which we have been kindiy favored. * Dales of the Achievements of the Isi Regiment .Missouri Mpnu/ed Volunteers.

Minon, life all Mexicans, wri'es belter i'*au he fights; he certainly n akes I out a strong case against Santa Anna.— j We do not wonder that the mob turned | out to stone Santa Anna on his entrance into the capital, after the general circnla ; tion and perusal of ibis demagogical and excoriating letter of’Minon. Minon gives ; Ids reasons for his failure on l! e 22d and 23d of February, hut we have heard oth er and much stronger reasons, which the ! Mexicans about Salt.l !o assign for his conduct on this occasion. No less an in- 1 i fiuence than love, that great master pas sion, whose irresistible power has sway j ed the minds and the hearts of the great- j est warriors, from Achilles and Alexan- ; : derdown to Sergeant Pipeclay and Cor- { j poral Drill. The gallant Mexican fell ' in with a lovely damsel at a factory near Saltillo, who so fascinated him, that, like j ! Anthony in the arms of Cleopatra, he | forgot all his military duties, and gave himself entirely up to the soft dalliance ! of love. In this situation he was caught i by old Zack, who acted the part of Vul ; can, in the affecting incident in the stoiy | ■ of the loves of Mars and Venus, and very effectually surrounding the Mexican, | exposed him to the gaze of the sneering j i world, and then released him to the pun- j ishment which his own commander sought | !ta rt.fiioi or, hi™. We give the story as j told by the Mexicans about Saltillo, with- i | out assuming any responsibility there for. Some time ago, early in the history of : this war, we published a sketch of Gen. j Minon, written by an intelligent Spaniard, i from which no doubt our readers, as well ! asourselves, were led to believe that the ! said General was a very redoubtable i warrior, who only wanted a favorable oc- j 1 casion to devour General Taylor and his 1 whole army. Cut, alas! the vigor of the war did not come up to the spirit of the ' manifesto. Gen. Minon was not the first i Mexican who has deceived us into the be- j i lief that fie would llght—“who keeps the I | word of promise to lhe*ear, hut breaks it I :to the hope.” He had a glorious oopor- j | tunity at Saliillo, and suffered himself to I he enticed into inactivity by a Mexican Delilah; and when he was brought into action, could not stand for a moment the fire of Capt. Shover’s batteries, any more than he could stand the artillery which Cupid launched at him Dom the bright eyes that twinkled, like the stars in the blue firmament, out of the rebosa of the fair factory girl. But Gen. Minon expects to build up his reputation upon the ruins of Santa An na’s. This looks very like “kick him, Bill, lie has no friends.” Well, in Mexi co this is all considered fair play. Santa Anna has practised it often to his defeat- j ed enemies, and justice requires that “the j poisoned chalice should he commended to his lips.”— N. O. Delta. 1 Qth inst.

There is one paragraph in tfiis manifesto | which is worthy of attention, to all classes and descriptions ot men throughout the civilized world, as follows: “The clergy cannot conscientiously submit to the denomination ot' a peo, !e who admit as a dogma of their government, the toleration of all , religions. Are they aheady determined to suf fer that in front of the very temple in which the j 11 dy G host is ?dore«l, Pi oicslant churclu s should |be erected?

We see accounts of winter wheal I hilled in sections of the West, but the wri j ters of these never refer to the fact that | spring wheal has been sown in nearly all j the vvrinter killed wheat fields. It is only changing the lime of I lie harvest, not the i quantity. The corn crop, in all probability, ! will reacii 600,000,090 bushels, a filth more than last year. There has not been a sea son of late, free from this apprehension of i scarcity,soably set afl >al byspeculators. They would make a famine in the corn bins of Egyps, Ihougn full as in Joseph's day, if we j were disposed to swallow all their croakings. i In Maryland, late rains have improved both wheat and corn fields, and every kind of grain 1 has put on a new face. In Alabama the ! planters are harvesting wheat, and the crops ; were never finer. Many of the fields have i lodged from their burden of grain, so that the sickle is required to cut them. More than a hundred per cent more bread stuff has been forwarded from the producing re gions to the sea board this year than usual— ; the leading depots of those regions contain at present fifty per cent, more than usual, and the country promises to keep the supplv crood. VV e have crossed sections of Long Island, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and from the general complexion of the farm fields, anticipate a full harvest in these por tions. Corn, Rye, and Grass are especially heavy. In a very short lime, we predict a fall in the present rate of breadstuff*, induced | by the plentiful new harvest.” Naval. | The U. S. Pchr. Flirt, Lieut.

Death ot JudjjeNicholls, : 'Phe Donaldsonville papers come to us in I mourning for Judge Thomas C. NicholD, who I died at that place on the ITh inst., at the age of fifty-seven. Judge Nicholln was a Marylander by birth, and has resided in Loui siana for many years, having been fora long time Judge of (he 4 h District Court, and lately one of the Judges of the Court of Ap peals in criminal cases.

Dr. Finley, late President ot Die i University, who with three children survive to mourn the loss of a husband and father. In 1828, : he was elected*a Trustee of the University of i Georgia, which office he filled until his death with dis inguished ability, always devising the most liberal policy, and enlarged plans, for the welfare of the College, and the advancement of the cause of Science, to which he was ardent y | devoted. On mere t an one occasion he was i employed by the General Government,and State nulhoiitieo, in ascertaining and fixing the. houn darn s between this State and North Carolina, Florida and Alabama, lie was among the early I advocates and promoters of the cause of Internal 1 Improvement in Georgia by Railroads, and h» zeal and efficiency while connected w th the I Georgia Railroad and Banking Company n* well j remembered.

In the various 1 and responsible stations and duties in life to which ! he was called, he acted with an ability and hon | esty but rarely equalled, and yet on hisdeath bed, I he remarked to tue writer of this obituary, that { however pleasant it was in such an hour to look : hack upon a well-spent life, yet lie had a better hope and trust for future happiness than could be based upon a blameless life.

Bhe was married on the 30th of De cember 1842. She was what stie professed to be, a Christian. In the different relations of life, all that could be said was in her favor. As a Chris tian she was truly pious and constant and punc tual in her attendance at the house of God. Bhe : was faithful in the discharge ofduty, and diligent | in the use ot the means of grace. Bhc was a lady j offew words, but these few conveyed much mean ; ing, and were always seasoned with piety. Her whole deportment through life, was such as be cometh one professing Godliness; and while she gave diligence and attendance to house-hold af fairs, she neglected not the house of the Lord. —
