Cheap Fares. —The agents of two of the principal lines of steamers running between Liverpool and the United States have quarrelled, and the rates of passage have come down from 27d015. to 25d015. to lydols., and in some cases as low as 12dols. The two companies chiefly engaged in the warfare are the Cunard and National lines of steamships. The strife was - caused by the National line taking passengers to Boston at the above reduced rates. A conference was called, but resulted in no reconciliation, and tho public are now enjoying the advantages to be derived from the misunderstanding between these two largo companies.
