By her, we have received our files of Papers from New York, to the 17th instant, which are four days later than those received on Sunday, by the Europa. The "Atlantic" has made the passage in te n days,six hours. The steamer " Franklin i l from Bremen and S- outhampton arrived out at New York, at half-past ilex o'clock on the morning of the 14th, and the Niagara" frOm Liverpool, arrived out at Boston nn the 10th.

To-day the Collins steamer, Atlantic, leaveS this port, for Liverpool, (in place of the Pacific, dis abled,).l send you the principal news-items. The British mail steamer, Niagara, reached BoAOn at midnight on ThurSday, her mails arrived yesterday evening. The steamer, Crescent City, had sailed for Aspinwall, . with the Georgias, Californian mails, from Norfolk, on Wednesday, the 14th inst: Two more Railway Accidents have occured. One on the Hudson River Road, causing the deathof some three or more persons ;. and the other on the New York Central, at the depot at Oneida. The Ex press Train, -While 'standing there, Was run into •by a freight train, causing• one person's death, and very serious injuries to many. A man of the" name of Cha . innan, (and Irishman) is supposed to have committed a murder upon the persons of Mr. and Mrs. Cousins, at Sherburn, oldoAnn, on the night o f Wed n e s day la s t. kis Motive is supposed to have been, the getting froth them some 81,000 dollars, which he had understood Was in the housc ; he has been arrested and the jury have committed, him for trial. A great freshet had been experienced at Georgia, and Augusta, which had delayed the mails one day. The last news from Mexico, seems to • foretell further difficulties from the Rio Grande, we learn that Santa Anna was prosecuting,stennous mea mires. He had imposed . a tax of 122 cents says the Ledger, on each member of a family causing much distress • among the peer, and he had issued an order, for raising ninety-one thousand men, for frontier defence: .Santa Anna enjoins all who have suffered from Indian dessredations, to present their claims at the City of Mexico, He intends to de tnand restitution under the treaty of Guadalupe liidalgo. Four ofthe largest States, viz.--Guan axuato, Gualajara,,. Mareles • and Chihuahua, have pronounced against him. By the arrival at New Orleans of the schooner " Gazelle" from Belize, Honduras, having on board the American Consul, Mr. Hempstead. We learn that Mr, H. reports on. July 12th, a pa•ty Spaniards attacked Limas, killed the police, and attempted the lives .off the magistrates, the collec tor, and the British consul: Guatemala had purchased an English schooner,. with which it had captured the Honduras towns of Onira, and Turillo; The British _schooner " Thomas Turson" was Yost, August - lOth, passengers and crew saved.. shock of an earthquake is reported to have been felt in the lake shores. The yellow .fever at New Orleans is fast dying away, -but strangers are warned not to go thither at present, as it is thought' the . abatement is caused only for the want of further material, that the scourge - still remains there. Letters to the 9th instant have been received from Mobile, which represent the fever as increas ing there; the deaths were thirty-five to forty each of the preceding few days, and it is estimated that from 1,000 to 2,000 were sick at that time. Wh en it is considered that probably not over 5,000 per sOns, if so many, remain in the city • over night, some idea May be formed - of, the extent of the ap -rng calamity prevailing there. • Commercial affairs, during the last threeor four indeed, the have undergone great fluct ua ti ons , an d the markets generally, have been very :variable. Aterchants have . been undecided as t o th e i r ptir; chases; this excitement has its. origin from' two causes, first, from the changing tenor of the advices received by the last two or three steamers from. Europe, and secondly, from the scarcity of shipping. The latter appers to. have had the greatest effect in lowering -the price of breadstuffs, although holders have exhibited auxiously to make sales. The Exchange Market very irregular. Woclaee Bills have been sold of the best names to bankers for re-selling as low as 1074 , -; and good Bankers' Signatures are to be bought at 1091, but the best sell at 1094-.

(room the Washington Union..) The New York Times appears to be troubled About the moveinente Of. .Commodore.'Shubrick on the fishing. grounds, and. especially appears to be 11 1 doubt about - the sufficiency of• his instructions. CominOdere Shubrick, we learn, was instructed 'to -visit the whole of the' fishing- ground if practi cable; and to proceed as far north as in his discre tion he might. deem important. The Decatur having returned,.is destined for the African station. 'we learn. The Albany and Columbin, will, on account of the fatal sickness at the South, 'be .qruising in the North until frost. The. Albany is now in-New York, 'awaiting the arrival of officers ordered to her in place of the detached 'sick. Commodore. Shubrick is a discreet • and gallant officer. His action and return will no doubt be regulated' by a due regard to the rights of the fishing. interest. . The Times may rest assured that the instructions from the Navy Department to Commodore Shu brick are of the proper character.; and, as we un derstand, assert the rights dour countrymen fully. Indeed; we would be extremely pleased to gratify ~,the Times, and publish the whole affair about the three mile line," and all; but we Suppose we are bound to wait until Congress calls for it, and then a comparison Withlhe past Can be instituted, We S uppose that the fishing season generally terminates about the middleTof this month.

Northern Daily Times o:nice, Wednesday Morning. We have just received the following important intelligence from our London Correspondent:— A rumour was current in Paris on Saturday, and in London on Monday,, that. Austria had given a significant intimation of her policy with regard to Turkey, in ease the allied powers of England and France should render active assistance to Turkey in her difficulties with Russia. It Was said that, in such an event, Austria has declared she would occupy the province of Servia, a proceeding which would give to her several important positions on the Danube, and enable her to annoy the right flanks of the Turkish army which is now opposite to that of Russia in the principalities. It will be seen that our PariS correspondent .is inclined to attach some importance to these reports ; but in London they are not regarded as 'deserving of very serious attention. • For our part we do not think it probable that at present, Austria would venture upon so bold a de fiance of European opinion. Such an act would outrage public law, justify France in seizing the Italian dominions of Austria, and lead to a revolu tionay outburst in Hungary. In fact, it would bring upon this heterogeneous and bankrupt empire, the combined perils of a foreign and an internecine war. We do not, therefore, believe that the time has yet arrived for Austria to hazard so dangerous a step. Her entente with Russia cannot be completed until the termination of the conference at Ohnutz ; and it is just possible that both these aggressive powers may pause in their course now they perceive that England France are determined to support the Sultan. No doubt Servia would be a desirable acquisition for Austria. Though less favourably situated for the purposes of commerce than the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia now invaded by Russia, it possesses an active, industrious, and thriving popu lation. It furnishes great supplies of cattle, and lately it has produced great quantities of minerals and timber, Regarding the character of the popu tiOn, and the resources of the country—which is about 100 miles long by 00 broad—Servia would in some degree satisfy the cupidity of Austria in any partition with Russia of the Turkish dominions. But much will have to be done by the two Auto crats before Europe will consent to any such ap propriation. Since the above was written we haVe received a late edition of the Morning Herald, containing the following important announcement:— THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. " We are enabled to state, froin the best authd : rit.35 . , that the GOveinnint, moved at length unanimous voice of the country, and now awake tc the insidious deSigns of Russia, have sent powers to tlie British Ambassador at Constanti. nople to act more energetically in support of - the Turks: The GoVei'nnient have ithio dispatelied a m.essetiger to Viee-Adrnjral lundas, at Besika Bay, via Marseilles arid Malta, with despatches, infocm, ing him of the instructions sent to Lard de Red cliff, and enjoining the gallant admiral to be reoi 7 ness to attend instantly to any requisition that the Ambassador may niake to hint) to proceed to Corr stantinopld *ltli the entire force Und ex' his comnititnil It is expected that by the time the Government messenger reaches Admiral Dundas, the fleet will be under weigh for the Bosphorus, and hostilities will have 'commenced. " We are further enabled .0 state, that orders ... . haVe been sent to Admiral Corry, to take the whole of the fleet under his command, including - . the division of. powerful screw ships, and proceed to sea to-morrow, .the.2Bth inst. We believe a portion of this fleet will proceed nerthWard, and perliap . s_ another to • Gibralta, or Malta. Other screw- line of-battle ships will be immediately commissioned for active service." . The Herald, of all the Metropolitan morning papers, notwithstanding its hostilily to Lord Aber deen's administration, possesses the best admiralty intelligence ; and we have. no doubt that this an.- nouncement is made upen indisputable authority. The importance of it, at this. moment, cannot - be exaggerated, particularly. of the fact that orders have been given for a portion of the screw-steamer squadron, how at Cork, to proceed towards the Baltic. This looks like a blockade ; and, as if the endurance of the British Government was, at last, fairly exhausted, FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, BATURDAT The French journals of this morning sliow much discouragement; but the Assemble Nationale (sup posed to:be in the interest of Russia) still clings to the hope of some pacific arrangement being-.hit upon at Olmutz.

The address is rather of a fulsome character, and it is not certain that it will be presented at all. The exhibition of the works sent by the French students, from Rome, takes place to-day, at the Ecole des Beaux arts, and will last for a week. FIVE, P.M. —The contents of the London evening papers have taken us by surprise. Decidedly the Londoners beat the Parisians hollow in obtaining the latest intelligence. You will have observed that the fall, at yesterday's Bourse, was insignifi cant, but to-morrow we shall look out for squalls. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.—AII Paris is in a state of feverish anxiety at the aspect of the Eastern question, and .mainly because it is im possible to determine what is its present position: We know that, upon the responsibility of M. de la Cour, the French Ambassador, at Constantinople, a portion of the fleets of England and France have passed the Dardanelles and we know, also, that the nominal object of this movement is to protect the foreign residents there. But .we do not know how the proceeding is regarded by Russia or Austria —and here is the point which most stimulates poli tical curiosity. There can be no doubt that it is an infraction of the treaty of 1841. Nor can there be much doubt that, in a few days, after it is known by Russia, M. de Nesselrode will issue another State paper, in which he will defend the continued occu pation of the Principalities, on the ground of this fact. If, according to Russian notions, the anchor ing of the British fleet at Besika, and of the French fleet in the same vicinage, was a construc tive violation of the treaty, which justified the invasion of the Principalities, much more may the actual presence of the allied squadrons, before Constantinople, be urged as a reason for retaining possession of the Turkish territory. Thus, out of one primary wrong, there arises numerous col lateral criminations and recriminations, which do but embarass the situation. It is said here, that Anstria *views, with serious displeasure, this de cisive step, on the part of France and England ; and that Count Buol had sent an intimation from Vienna, beforehand, both to London and Paris, that if any measure of this sort were to be actually taken, the Emperor would order an advance of troops into Servia. The quarter from whence this . statement proceeds, is one entitled to cre dit ; an d I place considerable faith in it. It only requires • some such step, or some such deelaration, to com plete the alliance between-Austria, and Russia. On the whole, after what has occurred with the fleet, the turn opinion here, is, that all the Powers are too far committed to enable them to avoid war. . . . .There is a certain party here, of course Russia] which is continiially putting forth bruits of div signs between trance inid• England according to these people, • there 1 Sometin standing in London ; then it is at Vienna; next Paris ; and, last of all, at Constantinople persons see the minutest occumences at any ( these places only- throligh•St, .Poiersilurg.

They have, positively, dis covered thdt, Lard Stuart de fledcliffe, gave f. dinner, on the 10th, At Constantinople; to the Turkish Ministers, acid that, ht thiS dinner, he paid distinguished attention to tliza Pastra, ci-devant minister,: whom he, formerly, resisted with all his might, and eVen persecuted after his fall. It is perfectly astonishing, to us Englishmen. that the violence of party shotad blind the jUdg ment of sensible men, upon Snell indifferent things as the entertainments which our ministers abroad give to .distinguished personS. We never dream of interpreting them, except in very special cases, by a pblitieitl key. In the presdht efti3e, this hos ' pitalitY is susceptible ok Very coininoti , place explanation. It is this—and, certainly, it does partake somewhat of a pOlitiCal . character, but, not in the sense of coolness; between the ministers of France and England, at Constantinople. Every body knows that there is great excitement there, and that strong feelings are- opposed—sathe Wish , ing for instant war with RUsSia; without biding for the allies of Turkey, and, some, more.prudent, desiring to be guided only •by the • determination of the allies, Now, in this state of feeling, among .some of the great men of Turkey, what Was more natural than that Lord Redcliffe should endeavour to compose their differences ; and heal their divi sioyis, by bringing a few of them together ? Here is the whole explanation. Whether the - result corresponded to the design; is another question. The Emperor and EmPres.s are confirming their progress in the north. Their journey has been a perfect ovation. The addresses they have received, are full of adulation, even to fulsomeness; and they have been compelled to attend to the recitation of a good deal of wretched stuff, which has been exalted, in honour of the occasion, to the dignity of poetry, only to lose it again the next hour. The price of corn is higher in Frnnee now than it has been for several years . .past, and as a neces- ;my consequence there has been much suffering among the poor here. The ,s you are denbtles - s aware, have, according to the strange syStem which prevails here, afforded what relief they could. The costs of conveyance. have been reduced, and importations now come in at a nom inal duty. It now appears that things are better. The harvest is much more productive than was fore Seen. Potatoes are plentiful, and of excellent quality ; a fall in prices is:expeeted, as the far mers who have been holding back their supplies will have to compete with the importations that are beginning to come in from America, and other producing countries. On the other hand, but 6ber' meat is 10 per cent higher than it was a fortnight ago. . At the 'houise to-day the FoUr-and-a-Half per Cents. were stationary for the. Account, at 101 f. 50c. ; the Three per Cents.. fell 20,centimes—that is t0.75f. 65e. There has been a good deal of movement all day but of no materiality. Railway Shares are rather higher. The Emperor of Russia will Tiobably protract matters until the spring, and then, when the Weather permits the Balkan. to be crossed, he will set his troops in movement against Constantinople. ShOUld the Turks commence their hostilities, it is thought that the Czar will then declare Moldavia and Wallachia to be annexed to the Russian Em pire,.and seize on the whole Sof their administra tion—ready, as before, in spring; •to march on the capital of Turkey. A. letter from Berlin of the. 23rd says :—" It is believed that the Emperor:of ItUssia, after having been iresent at the manecuyreS of the camp of Olmutz, will pass some tithe in our capital." There are now 25,000 men remaining in the camp M oimutz ; the remaider of the troops, par ticularly the cavalry, have entered cantonments. Among the tents of the officers, is that of Lieu tenant-General de Grunne, which attracts great attention. It formerly belonged to the Grand Vizir Kara Mustapha, and was taken from the Turks at the time of the second siege of Vienna in 1683.

[PROM OUR OWN REPORTER.] GlasgoW, day afternoon Yesterday afternoon the freedom of the ancien& city of Perth was presented to the Right Hon... Viscount Palmers ton, who was on his way from Balmoral to Glasgow, where to-day he received a similar honour. His lordship 'reached the city in the forenoon, and . was received by the Municipal Authorities; Lord Kinnaird, the Hon, Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., and ethers, and was aceoinpanied by them to the City Hall, where the presentation took place. The Hall was crowded to excess by a lgrge assemblage of the citizens, including a galaxy of the fair maids and matrons o. • His Lordship on entering the hall . was receiVed•With rap turous applause by all present, and after the usual formali ties had been gone through, the freedom of the city was pre sented to the. noble viscount, by the 'Hon. the Lord pro vost, who delivered a tasteful and appropriate . address, in which he briefly adverted to some Of the most prominent services which Lord P a l mers t on h as rendered t o th e 'CouUtry, as Foreign Secretary, and finished by putting the burgess ticket, enclosed i n an e l egan t case , made from a piece of the wood which is said to have formed. a part of the honk in which the " Fair Maid of Perth" resided in former days. —After the Town Clerk had administered the usual oaths, • • . • . • Viscount PALMERSTON rose, and was greeted with the most enthusiastic applause. He beghu by saying : I can assure you, my Lord Provost and gentlemen of the Corpo ration, that I feel most deeply sensible of the great honour which you have just conferred upon: tue. It is a matter of great pride and satisfaction to me to find myself thus in some degree connected with the great and distinguished body, the City of Perth, (Cheers). I have viewed with the greatest admiration the magnificent country whi c h surrounds what I may venture to call your capital---a country which, com paring it with the state in which I saw it,---I will not say how many years ago, when, as a young tourist, I passed through it,---excites unbounded admiration for the intel ligence, the industry, and the skill of the people who inhabit it. (Cheers). I may indeed say that your country is a kind of emblem of your national character for, while on the one hand it presents those bold elevations• which are the gifts of nature, on the other hand, it exhibits• the higher cultivation Which human skill can confer. (year, hear, and cheers). My birthplace and my interests lie, indeed, in other parts of the United Kingdom, but I may claim, at least, one kind of tie with Scotland. For what signifies it where a man be born; of what practical value are his interests, if he has not had the benefit of that cultivation which education bestows ? Wherever any important part of a man's education has been given him, to that place must his affections recur during the whole of his subsequent life. Now, gentlemen, it was my good fortune to pass three years in Edinburgh, under the roof and wider the instruction of that great and good man---Dugald Stewart (Cheers)—a man not more distinguished for the• great capacity of his mind, for his power to rise to the highest summits of science, to penetrate the deepest mysteries of metaphysics, than for his sterling qualities of heart and of disposition, which make talent practically useful, and which add dignity to genius. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, the Lord Provost has been kind enough to advert to some passages in my public life. lie but rightly inter preted the sentiments which guided me, when he said that I embraced readily and cordially those principles of parlia mentary and municipal reform which, however much they excited doubts in the minds of many men at the time when they were broached, have, I think, now gained universal concurrence by the practical experience of good which they have conferred on all classes of this great empire. (Loud cheers.) And whatever opinions any man may have enter tained at the time when that great battle was fought, there is not, I believe, an individual in the country who would now for one instant contemplate any retrogressioninregard to these great measures. (Loud cheering.) Gentlemen, it was, as the Lord Provost has been pleased to say, my anxious desire, while the charge of our foreign relations was committed to myhands, in the first place to maintain unimpaired the interests, and untarnished the honour and the dignity of the country. But yet beyond these interests and that honour there were cer tainly two objects which I held constantly in view, and which to a great degree the Government of which I was a member succeeded in accomplishing. The ; one was to encourage the difftision of constitutional principh constitutional government—through the countries of Europe. The Lord Provost has just said that our efforts succeeded in establishing that which I hold to be the best possible system period : he succeeded in securing at ti ings of ileac Loua satisfaction to be present on you in expressing your respect for him, and in him success in that important situation which I the councils of our beloved Sovereign.

The LORD PROVOST—Permit me, in the ni brothel Magistrates and fellow Councillors to th the honour you have now done them. We felt that the step we were taking was one that was approved, and your presence here to-day, and the honor you have now conferred upon us, is satisfactory evidence that you - all concur with us in what we have done. (Loud applause.) Before retiring, the meeting, at the suggestion of the Lord Provost, gave, in succession, three lusty cheers for the Queen, her Majesty's ministers, and the youngest burgesi of of the city, which brought the proceedings to a close ; and immediately afterwards his lordship proceeded to the Guild-hall to receive the freedom of the incorporation, and be installed a merchant burgess and member of the guildrv. the Brit auk you fo. universally - The, order of investiture I lordship • was addressed by ted or thought gland.
