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

We compile, from one of the Poliuh journal
published in Pari, and which our government,
unfortunately for their fame, have Bought to sup
press, the following narrative of the act ofcru
eity practiced on IVIca banisliod Io Siberia for
pol'iic"! cause. Europe ia but too often en
tirely ignorant of the practice n Muscovite ty
ranny. But, from limn to time, mno victim
escapes ami come to west cm Kurope, to de
nounce Io the civilised world the frightful
coiir.v pursued by tlmt barbaron government
towards that portion ol it subject whoso only
offences are their aspirations after liborty. 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. He confines himself to
a narrative Of his journey across the Ural
Mountains, in the' midst of bare - rocks, Irozen
and frightful deeeils, in which he several times
remained three days, without taken at.y nour.

it wr.s with iho greatest tlifneuliy he could work
his wny out the next day. 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

veil this punishment, to perpetual bard labor;
the other, to the number of more than Iwu hun

of the sentence took place at Ouitk. Geueml

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. Ilisrhoet In
timate friends dure not approach him, and his
lavorite officers stood in gruilps at i dlstsnce,
gazing anSiously on that silent lent. But im

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

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
