Joreign Arrival of the Caledonia 11 Days Later from From the Boston Journal of Friday, 7th. The British steam packet Caledonia, Capt. in our harbor yesterday morning about nine from Liverpool, having left that port on the 20th bringing fourteen days later intelligence than by the previous advices. She has brought to this city 88 passengers from Liverpool, and 15 from 103. In relation to the business, markets, Willmer Smith's European'Times says the sailing of the steamship Cambria, on the 4th instant, there has been more of depression in business generally than at any previous time of late.

This unfavorable change has probably been cansed in a grest degiee, by the rise of Grain, both here and in the Continental markets, and by the precautions which the Bank of England has taken to limit its discounts. The has induced merchants to be more anxious to realize. T'hey have, brought ward an unusuelly large quantity of Produce, whilst the home trade operated with less freedom, the supply proving more than for their requirements, large as the consumption is, and moderate as prices are. There have been large imports of Grain and grain Produce both here and to of the leading ports in the United Kingdom but, notwithstanding the abundance of supplies, there has been marked improvement in the Corn markets throughout Great Britain and Ireland since the 4ih inst. Ofthe Corron MarxEeT, the Times says which has changed hands gince the Ist of January up to the departure of the Caledonia, is perhaps greater than at any former period in the history of the trade here.

There is an improved feeling in the trade of the manufacturing districts also. The same authority says that the condition of the Bunk of England excites some atlen: tion, and amongst commercial men, no little degree of alarm. The bullion is rapidly disappearing, and to keep it at home the rate of interest is raised, to counteract the state of the foreiyn exchanges. The Public Securities, like the mercury in a weather glass, are elevated one day and depressed the next. The proceedings of Parliament possess little interest.

But little party feeling in England is manifested at the present time, The Packet ship Hibernia reached Liverpool in thirteen and a half days from Boston. Tue Jamesrown.

The dinner was a very splendid affair, and attended by the most influential classes in and around Cove. Captain Forbes was the hero of the day, and acquitted himself in an admirable manner. On the 16th, a public meeting was held at the County Court-honse, Cork, for the purpose of returning thanks to Capt. Forbes and his patriotic crew for the sympathy they had shown towards the suffering and starving population of The European Times, in connection with the above event, makes the following remarks grateful hearts of the Irish people are elated at the noble and generousconduct of Congress in sending them a large quanuty of food free of expense, and what enhances the obligation the more is the fact that the gratuity has beensentin an American frigate.

This event has excited a fecling in Cork, the southern metropolis of Ireland, greater than words can describe. The people are in ecstacies. Nothing, certainly, aa far as a peaceoffering goes, could produce a feeling towards America more than this humble nition of their sufferings. In the hour of distress, people are susceptibly alive to the sympathy of others. Nations, like individuals, cen best apprecinte those who show kind and generous feelings when it is most Taken in this sense, the consideration of the Awericans will not be without its fruit and if circumstances should ever arise it may be necessary to throw oil on the troubled waters of international hostility, the jclrcumsunce to which we refer, must, in the nature of things, possess God-like Parkuurst's Steam Liverpool papers state that Mr.

Upon the marble steps ot a stately mansion sat the crouching form of her who had begged in vain.

The worn cloak which enveloped her had once been of rich material, and the small foot and hand that peeped above and below it, might have attracted attention, had there been sufficient day light left to scrutinize. The too, of that pale young face, must, if seen, have awakened interest; for the human heart, however cold, is never utterly insensi. ble to beauty. After her last refusal, lhe" poor creature roge from the steps, and holding by the iron railing with one hand, drew her cloak more closely round her, as she pared again to face the biting wind. Atthat moment a young girl, who had ron across the street, and was about to ascend the steps, Jostled her, and she sunk back upon the cold marble.

Whole No. 881, they lived upon her bounty, for alihough Frederick had searched the city for employment, he was 100 much of a gentleman in appearance to suit any but those situalions which required good recommendations, In one or two instances, where he had been employed in wmenisl offices, he hud been diamissed because he had fainted under the unusual latigue, Fanny Wilson, as yet, knew not the history of her friends, for they pever alluded to their past lives in her Bhe only knew that native place Scotlund, though he had resided in England since a child and as she had often heard her father speak of having pmesed year in the former place before his marriage, he had many times resolved 1o beg his assistance for the emigrants, but was as oftem deterred by the fear, as much of her dreadful step-mother, as of her father. Mr. Wilsow was not a harsh man, bt Ins whole heart wae immersed in the cares of business, and he ranked among the merchant princes of New York. His kindly sympathies, never appealed to in vain, and if Fanny had known her father better, she might have pof fered her request without fear.

Alas how often is it the case that fathers of families are devoting every hour of their time, and every energy of their minds, to accumulate wealth for their children, while those very children are suffering from veglect, for want of paternsl guidance and advice.
