ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA.
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, 2 A.M.
By the steamer Europa we have advices from
New York to the Bth inst. She has brought 37
passengers, but no specie.
The steam-ships Andes, from Liverpool, Glas-
gow, from Glasgow, and Nashville, from Havre,
had arrived at New York ; and the steamer Alps,
from Liverpool, at Boston.
The steamer Atlantic, with the mails of the 22d
ult. from Liverpool, was ashore near Sandy Hook,
but was expected to be got off. The steamer Em-
pire City had arrived at New York from Afpin-
wall with $646,062 in gold-dust.
The English brig of war Espiegle, French steamer
Chimere, and United States' ship Cyane were at
Caledonia Bay on the 20th of January, and had
each landed a corps of surveyors, under the guid-
ance of Messrs. Gisbornc and Cullen, the promoters
of the works on the Darien Canal.
New York has been visited by another great con-
itagration, which destroyed upwards of $30,000 of
property.

From Washington we learn that a substitute
was to be offered for the Nebraska Bill by a South-
ern Democrat.

The steamer Corwin had arrived at Charleston
with despatches from Washington, detailing the
seizure of the steamer Black Warrior by the ban
axthorities for an alleged infringement of the re-
venue laws of that island. The captain and crew
of the Black Warrior abandoned the vessel when
she was seized, and the Cubans were discharging
the cargo.

The advices from Ilavannah are to the Ist of
March. The Carnival was over, but during its pro-
gress several assassinations had taken place, and a
civic guard, 800 in number, had been formed.
The New York stock market exhibited a down-
ward tendency for most descriptions of securities.
There was no alteration to notice in the money
market. Exchange on London, 108 i to 109 ; Paris,
5.131 to 5.161.
Cotton in good demand, at slightly advanced
prices. Wheat and flour only in moderate request,
at a decline of sc. per bushel on the former, and
25c. per bushel on the latter. In provisions no
alterations.

Freights to London.—Flour, 4s. 3d. to 4s. 6d.
per barrel ; wheat, I.s. 3d. per bushel ; measure-
ment goods, 30s. to 355. ; and heavy goods, 50s. to
Ws. per ton.

CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.—Mr. J. Johnson, one
of the lessees of this theatre, took his benefit last week,
when Sheridan's fine old comedy, The School for Scan-
dal, was acted here for the first time. The difficult
part of Sir Peter Teazle was enacted by Mr. William
Searle, the stage manager, in a manner which
gave proof of a thorough knowledge and apprecia-
tion of what the author meant it to be. Mr.
Davenport as the volatile Charles needs no eulogy,
for he is genuine in everything he undertakes. Miss
Fanny Vining's Lady Teazle was qui chaoune, in fact the
whole caste and acting was admirable. The house was
crowded to the ceiling. Messrs. Johnson and Lee de-
serve great credit for the successful attempts to vie with
the best theatrical establishments in London.
DEPARTURES FOR AUSTRALIA.—The departures for
the Australian colonies during the present week show a
decrease. They have comprised altogether ten vessels
—four to Adelaide, with an aggregate burden of 1,743
tons ; three to Sydney, with an aggregate burden of
1,331 tons ; one to Port Philip, of 922 tons ; one to
New Zealand, of 460 tons ; and one to Launceston, of
313 tons. Their total capacity was consequently 4,769
tons. The rates of freight exhibit a slight decline, the
advices received yesterday not being satisfactory.
BUSINESS OF THE PORT OF LONDON.—In the general
business of the port of London during the past week
there has been considerable activity. The number of
ships reported inward was 216, being an increase of 54
over the previous week. Of grain there were reported
67,064 quarters, including 37,352 quarters of wheat ;
of flour, 19,346 barrels and 11,496 sacks ; of tea,
38,788 packages; and of sugar, 2,046 hhds., 1,241
cases, 1,238 casks, and 117,698 bags. The number of
vessels cleared outward was 113, being 10 over the
previous week. Of these 18 were in ballast, and 10, as
above stated, for the Australian colonies.
FUNERAL OF MR. JUSTICE TALFOURD.—The remains
of the late Hon. Thomas Noon Talfourd were yesterday
morning removed from his late residence in Russell-
square, for interment at the Cemetery, Norwood.
In the first carriage following the hearse were the three
sons of the deceased—Mr. Fras. Talfourd, Mr. William,
Talfourd, Mr. Thomas Noon Talfourd, and Mr. P. Tal-
fourd, his brother. The second carriage contained Mr.
Paterson Rutt, Mr. Northcote Rutt, Mr. John Salter,
and Mr. William Salter, his brothers in-law. In the
remaining carriages were several private friends of the
deceased, the Rev. George Hamilton, who officiated at
the interment, and Messrs. Sansum, his first and second
clerks. The only private carriages that followed the
mournful cortege were the deyeased's private carriage
and the private carriages of Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr.
Baron Platt, Mr. Chas. Kean, and Mr. Bickersteth, R.A.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE AT HULL.—There was no case
whatever before the magistrates this morning. This is
a circumstance which has not occurred, we believe, for
upwards of two years, and this marked diminution of
crime must therefore be the more gratifying. We are,
moreover, assured that during Mr. Warren's adminis-
tration of justice at the Sessions Court the more flagrant
cases of delinquency have been rapidly on the decline ;
the common remark of the adept breakers of the law
being, that the judge before whom they will be tried is
a man not to be trifled with. Their dread of under-
going any long deprivation of liberty is perfectly astound-
ing ; and while they treat with almost utter contempt a
sentence of short duration, though coupled with hard
labour, so are their fears correspondingly great at the
thought of being pent up within the dreary walls of a
prison for a lengthened period, even though compara-
tively slight labour may accompany the sentence.
Hull Packet.

THE SECRET CORRESPONDENCE.—The publication of
the secret correspondence with the Russian Government
on the fate of Turkey produced a remarkable impression
yesterday, and owing to the universal sense to which
it has given rise of the faithlessness of the Emperor, the
conviction that he can be dealt with in no other way than
by force has at length been established in the minds cf all
parties, including those by whom until now the belief
that war would be averted had never been abandoned.
