Iligl'lj' Important Commercial Intelligence Decline in the Grain MaiJiete Slate of the Cutlon Market Oprninc oflhc British porta for the Tree Admission ol Corn Sinprnkin (if the Navigation Laws Advance in the Rate of Interest The Famine on the Con tinent of Europe. The Steamship Cambria arrived at Boston a bout 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. She sail ed from Liverpool on the 4th inst , and her newa ia, therefore, fifteen days later than that received by the Sarah Sands. We are ir.debted to the kindness of Livingston & Co. for an English pa per. The commercial intelligence will be found to be deeply interesting and important. There was a decline of four to five shilling per quarter in the price of Wheat in the Liverpool and London markets on the first inst. The stock of flour at Liverpool alone was 500,000 barrels. There was a prevailing opinion that the British corn-growers had large stocks, which, with the temporary suspension of navigation laws, and the repeal of the impost duty, tending to check spe culation, would, it was assumed, produce a re-action both in prices and also in the extent of fu ture operations. At Liverpool, on the 2d, prices were four shil lings a quarter lower on Indian corn, four shil lings on flour, twa shillings per load on wheat, since the publication of the weekly circular on the 20th. The cotton market had been in a very quiet condition the sales had been limited in extent, and prices are rather on the decline. The market for provisions was steady. The accounts from the manufacturing districts were still unsatisfactory. In cotton fabrics only very small business was being transacted, and prices very irregular. The state of trade in Manchester exhibited no material variation in the present condition of the market from that detailed in the circular, save a decline in the value of nearly every description ef cloth and yarns. Matters could not be more unsatisfactory. Transactions were restricted to parsing wants. It is stated that a loan of four millions sterling has been negotiated for the United States, by a 'veil known city firm. The Pope of Rome has contributed one thou sand Roman crowns from his private purse, for the relief of Ireland. Gen. Tom Thumb has left England for the U- nited States. The government of France has addressed a circular to the French consuls and agents of Mex ico, that French subjects are not In make use of letters of maique delivered by the Mexican go vernment. One hnndred thousand barrels of flour having been ordered for France in the United Slates, thirty-five thousand barrela reached Havre in eight vessels. The rest was shortly expected. The state of commercial and monetary affairs since the sailing of the last steamship had been one of extreme peculiarity and interest. The large draines upon the Bank of England to meet the demands caused by tbe extensive importa tions of grain and all other aorta ol provisions into the kingdom, bad induced the government to raise their rates of interest, , This caused bus iness generally to be dull. An enormous business haa been done in angars during the fortnight. Speculators had been ex tensively purchasing. Trices had advanced con siderably beyond the quotations of the 1st in stant, and even over those last reported. At the close the market bad taken a turn, less business was transacted, and business bad assumed a de clining tendency. The iron market was not so brisk as last re ported, further reduced rates having been sub mitted to for pig descriptions ; buyers have been induced to purchase with more freedom. Prices of manufactured iron continued fully as high. The tea market was rather dull. The Zenobia reached Liverpool on the 27th, Patrick Henry on the 2Sth, Anglo Saxon, from Boston on the 23d. There appears to be no mitigation in the ac counts of sufleiing by the famine in Ireland. The amounts being taised by subscription and other wise, for tbe relief ol the sufferers, were, bow- ever, very liberal, and will, when applied, do much to alleviate their sufferings. We have, from France, accounts of more dis turbances, and of tbe threatened famine. The French government, however, was taking active measures to avert the impending calamity. Accounts from Prussia are almost as distres sing as those from Ireland. In the mawufectu ring districts particularly, the destitution ia ve ry alarming, and robberies are of freiueot occur rence. The market for provisions is steady the iron market ia not so brisk. Upon the receipt of, intelligence ef the Otb, from New York, a sadden advance took place ia cotton at Havre.- Tbe sales are reported at 7,000 bale.-Sugar advanced, - The Bank of England has again advanced their rates of interest.

It will not be furrjotton, that only a few weeks aince, he journal published an account of the arre, by the police of Kuinigbbnrg, of a Pole, whom they had Fiirprised asleep on the steps of a church. lie attempted at first to pass him self off as a Frenchman, n native ol l.nnguedoc, but when closely pressed by their questions, he at length Confessed that he was a Polish exile, who had escaped from Siberia. He waa im mediately thrown into prison, rind by orders re ceived from Berlin, he waabntit to be deliver ed up to the Russian Government, when form natr ly be again succeeded in escaping. This t'ucilive litis j'let succeeded in reaching Paris. His name is Rutin Piotrowski; he is well known to some of the most respecinble Polish, emi erants, who attest his excellent character and his veracity. The following are the fuels which he relates relative to himself : A native of Ukraine, he served in the corps of General Dwernck', du ring the insurrection of ISJI1. Alter that corps had entered Golicia, M. Piotrowski returned to Poland and entered the service in the 12th re giment of the line, where ho remained until the end of the campaign. Driven back into Prussia with the corps of General Rybinnki, he came to France with the other Polish emigrants in 1832 1 there he remained until 1643. Ha ving at that period formed the resolution of re visiting his native country, he left Paris in the month of January of that yesr, returned to Rus sia under Hie name of Cataro, where ho took up Ins abode as a professor of the French language in Kamienietz, the capita! of Podolia. He soon won the general esteem, and was even employ ed to give lefsons in the house of a high Rus sian functionary. After a stay of nine months, ho was everywhere received as a stranger of trrent learning and irreproachable character. Unhappily he confided the secret of his origin to several persons. A clerk in the oflico of the government having learned that M. Piotrowski waa a Pule, communicated the information fo a relative, an old sergeant-major, who informed the governor of llio province. M. Piotrowski, at rested and confronted with his accuser, st firl denied the fact, but seeing that be should exposo many innocent persons with whom he had bee;: in friendly relations, he confessed that he was a Pule by birth, denying resolutely thai he bad returned lo Russia with any hostile views against the government Notwithstan ding th a donial, and the absence of all proof, he was loaded with chains, transported in De cember, 1843, to Kief, and condemned to be shot. The governor of Kiel commuted his pun ishment to hard labor for life, and the sentence was approved by the Emperor. He was trans ported to Siberia in '.he month of August, 184 1. Several persons, accused of having entertained relations with him, were bsnifhed to remote parts of Russis, and others compelled to serve as private soldiers in the Russkn army. - The inronner waa decorated with the order ol St. Stanislaus. Iq Siberia, Piotrowski waa pla ced, by order of the Governor General, in a brandy distillery belonging to the government, ta labor there as a common workman, with ex press orders to the inspector lo keep a constant watch upon him. This distillery is situsted in Ekateriusk, near a ciiy in thaldUtrict called Tava. ' He found in that locality about 300 convict nearly all of whom were robberaand murderers, from all the nations iu the Kobtian empire, only two being for political offences, and both of these Pule. Ia the commencement of his Hay he wss watched by a sentinel, but afterwards, being employed in writing, he was lees careful ly guarded. After spying 10 months in the establishment, he determined to regain his li berty or perish. He left his place of exile tow ards the end of January, selecting the winter as the most favorable season of the year to es cape, the river,, lakes aed bogs being nearly inipassa'de except when frosen. F ont motives which may be easily appreciated, La gives no account of his journey.

After enduring num ber! ess danger sndsuflerings, such as he would not have supposed it possible to endure and live, he reached the borders of the White Sen, then St, Petersburg, and last escaping from that ci ty he succeeded in passing the frontier of Run sia. He arrived in Parts the Wd nf October, nf'.er an absence of 3 yesr. and eight months, during which time ho traiersed tnnrelhan H, (XKJ miles on foot. During his stay in Liberia, he was able In communicate with different po litical exiles; he conversed also with the inha bitants of the country, nml even with persons connected with the Russian Governmenl ; and the following are amor.g Ihe facts which he ob tsined front the mouths of the best informed persons, and Ihe most reliable eye-witness. The number of Polish Exiles in Siberia exceeds 50,000. Many of Ihem are employed at hard labor in tke different establishments; the nirt are colonized upon the lands bt lonffine lo the Ailmihixlralan of Erilm. The following is the fate of some of these exiles: Col. Pierre Wyent-ki, chief of the insurrec tion of the 29th of November, 16I50. who wss wounded and taken prisoner during the attack on Warsaw, in 1831, was condemned in l?3t to hard labor and transported lo the mines of Nertceinsk, situated in Eastern Siberia, on the confines nf Chins. There'he found a number of his compatriots condemned to the same fate. A short time after his arrivil, they concerted a plan of escape, and ga.ned over a Russian pea sant, who was to transport Ihem to the other side of a river, and serve them as a guide. In the nielli lime, at the moment agreed upen, all the exiles sssrmhledon the hanks of the t-tresm ; the pessant conducted them to a small deserted island, and, tinder pretence of seeing if they were observed, he left Ihem and went lo de nounce them to the superintendent. Betrayed and surrounded, i he exiles, after a vain at niggle, were re taken and thrown into prison. Pierre Wysoski, the hero of so many battles, was con demned to receive 1500 blows. He submitted to his punishment with the firmness of a martyr, and being aent, after he had recovered from their cfTi'Ct, to the fortress of Akatui, situated farther to the East, to lahor upon the fortifies lions, he performed bis task with activity, spoke to no one, and after the expiration of the day shut himself up in hiscubin Another attempt lo escape was followed by even more cruel consequence. The Abbe Si eracin.sk i, a native of Ukraine, was head of a convent of Dasiliena, at Owrnel, in Wolhynia, an order that devote themselves to the eduea tion of youth. Accused of hsvinir tsken part In the insurrection of 1831, he wss deprived of his sacerdotal rank, and sent ss s common soldier in a regiment of Cossacks to Siberia, to guard the frontier between Russis, snd Ihe tribes of Independent Tsrtary. S on alter he waa made instructor in a military school, in a regiment at Omsk. There he met with a number of Pule, and formed with them Ihe plan of pen trating In Taschkent, end of reaching, through the Tartar country, the English pns-essions in the north of India. He communicated this plan to one of his associates, njrned Gort-ki, a captain who had served under Npnlenn, and one of the I.eginn of Honor. . This old soldier, sn insurgent in 1931, had been condemned to serve for life, ss a common soldier, in a battalion of Siberian infantry. Several others were soon after received into their confidence. Rut three Pulish soldiers in the same battalion, when drunk, betrayed their secret before Co!. Grave, commandant of the Fort of Omsk. Immediate ly more than lour hundred I'uli a were put under arrest. This occurred in 1S34. Their triul lasted three years. At length, judgment was rendered, and it received the s.. net en ol the Emperor ; by it, Sieracint-ki, Uorki, ai.d lour ol those accused with them, were cunJemneJ to seven thoutand Lluw$, and in Case they sum. veil this punishment, to perpetual bard labor; the other, to the number of more than Iwu hun dred, were condemned to receive from five hun dred to three thousand blows. The execution of the sentence took place at Ouitk. Geueml GdldfiayttT was tent esprers troui St. Peters burg lo alUiid to it. On Ibe appo. tiled dy two battalions, ut a thousand men each, were soul to the spot. All the oilier Poles were sent out of the. way. These soldiers were to iiiiiicl the blows.

The Abbe Sierscinski re fused the strengthening beverage that was of fered bi;n, and went to meet his butchers cbauu- ting the Miserere met Dtvs. He fell before he had received a thousand blows ; he wss then seized, tied to I litter, and carried to receiv the reftt of his bloody flagellation, lie endured four thousand more blows, when hs expired two thousand blows wersj Inflicted upon hi life Ices body. . fkW the. others who were sentenced and immediate parent of d..poti.m.-J.r,n.e.

TUB niCATII UP III HOC, BV T. t IIRATLV. Napoleon's gret st mis'ortnne, that which wounded him deepest, waa the death of his friend Dnroe. As he made a last effort o break Ihe enemy's rsnk, and rndo again to the ad vanced post to direct the movements of hia army, nm of his escorts wss suddenly struck dead by his side. Turning lo Duroc, be said, D,ir3C, fote is determined to have one of us lo day.' Soon after, as he waa riding with hia suite in a rapid trot along the road, a cannon ball smote a ire beside him, and glancing struck Gen Kircener dead, and tore out the entrails of Duron. Napolenn waa ahead at tho lime, and hi Ftiite four abreast, behind him. The elniid of dust their rspid movements raised around them, prevented him from knowing at first who was struck. Rut when it was told thai Kirjrener was killed snd Duroc wounded. he dismounted and gazed lonr; and sternly on the buttery from which the shot had been fired; then turned towards the cottage into which the wounded marshal had been carried. ' Durec was grand marshal of the pilaco and a bosom friend of the Emperor. Of a noble and generous character, of unshaken integrity and patriotism, an-! firm as steel in the hour of dsngor, he wss beloved by all who knew him. There was a gentleness about him and purity of ft cling tho life of a camp could never de stroy. Napoleon loved him -for through all Ihe changes of his tumultuous life, he had ever found his affection and truth the same and it was with an anxious hearts and sad counten ance he entered the lowly cottage where he lay. Hia eyes were filled with tears aa ha ask ed if there was booe. When told that there was none, he advancrd to Iho bedside without sayings word. The dying marshal seized him by the hsnd and anid, 'My whole life baa been consecrated to your service, and now my otily regret is, that I can no longer be useful to you,' 'Duroc 1 replied Napoleon, with a voice choked with grief, 'there ia another life there yoa will await me and we shall meet again.' Ye, sir,' replied the fainting sufferer, 'but thirty years shsll pass away, when you will have tri umphed over your enemies, and realized all the hopes of our country, I have endeavored to be an honest man t have nothing with which lo reproach myself.' He then added, with faltering voice, 'I have a daughter your Majesty will be a father to her. Napoleon grasped his right hand, and aitting down by the bedside, and leaning his head on bis left band, rernaitH d with closed eyes a quarter of an hour in profound silence. Duroc first spoke. See ing bow deeply Bonaparte was moved, he ear claimed, 'Ah ! sire, leave me this spectacle paina you.' The stricken Emperor rose, and loaning on the arms nfhis eqtiery and Marshal Soult, he left the apartment, saying in heart breaking tones ss he went, 'Farewell then my JrltndX The hot pursuit he had directed a moment before wss forgot ton victories, trophies, pri soners and all sunk into utter worthlDssnes, and as st the battle of Aspern, when Lsnnca wss brought to him mortally wounded, he forgot even his army, snd the great interests at slake. He ordered hie tent to be pitched near the cot tage in which his friend was dying and enter ing i't passed the night all alone in inconsolable grief. The Imperial Guard formed their pro tecting squares, as usual, around him, and the fierce tumult of battle gave way In one of the most touching rcenrs in history. Twilight was deepening over the field, and the heavy tread of the ratils goiiig lo bivouacs, the luw tumbling of art 1 1 1 ry wagons in tlie ili.tauce, and all the subdued, yet confuted sounds of a mighty host fi lx -ut sinking to n-pne,rrise on th evening air imparting still greutor solemnity lo the hour. Napoleon, With his great coat wrapped about hint, his elbows on Itis titees, sod his forehead resting oh his hands, sat apart from all, buried in the ptoliiundest melancholy.

Darkness drew her curtain over tho scene, and the a'ars came out one after another a pon thn sky, and, at length the moon rope above the hills, bathing in her soft beams the tented host while the flnmea from burning villages in tha distance, shed a lurid light through the gloom and all wassail, mournful, yet sublime. There was a dark eottoge, with the sentinels at the c'oar, In which Dtiroe lay dying, and there, too, was tho solitary tent of Napoleon, and within the bowed form of the Emperor. Around it, at a distance, stood the squares of the old Guard snd nearer by, a silent group of chieftains, end over all lay the moonlight. Those brave sol diers filled wuli grief to see their beloved chief borne down with auch sorrow, stood for a long; time silent and tearful. At length lo break tha mournful silence, and to express the sympathy they might not speak, the bands struck up a rcrmiem for tire dying marshal. Tho melan choly strains arose and fell in prolonged echoes over the field, and awept in softened cadences on Ihe ear of the fainting warrior but still Napoleon moved not. They then changed the measure to a triumphant strain, and tbe timi ng trumpets breathed forth the most joyful notes, till the heavens rung with the melody. Such bursts of music had welcomed Napoleon as he returned flushed with victory, till his eyes kindled in exultation ; but now they fell on a dull and listless ear. It ceased, and again the mournful requiem filled all the air. But no thing could arouse him from his aponizing re flections his friend lay dying, and the heart be loved more than his life, was throbbing its lau pulsation. 'What a theme for a pointer, and what a eu logy on Napoleon was that scene. That noble heart, which thn enmity ol the world could ni t shake nor tho terrors of a battle-field move from its calm repose nor even the hatted and insults of his, at last victorious, enemies hum ble here sunk in the moment of victory be. fore the tide of affection.
