ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA.

By the steamer Europa, Lang commander, we
have advices from New York to the 2d, and from
Boston to the 3d instant. She has brought
252,000 dollars in specie on freight. The Europa
brought 105 passengers, among whom are the

The New York Herald states that the British
Minister, Mr. Crampton, and Messrs. Marcy and
Cushing, left Washington on the 30th ult., for
Berkeley springs, at the request of Mr. Marcy, who
desired to proceed with the fishery and reciprocity
negotiation in a quiet manner, and free from official i
interruption. At New Orleans the yellow fever
was raging beyond all precedent ; there were
500 deaths during the week ending the 23d ult., on
the 29th the deaths were 126 ; and on the 30th,
100. St. John's, New Brunswick, papers of the
30th ult. state that fires were raging in the woods
near Shediac, and had already destroyed a
large quantity of valuable timber. Telegraphic
accounts from New Orleans of the Ist contain
dates from the City of Mexico to the 16th ult.
The Mexican papers are bitterly opposing the
project of a Spanish protectorate, and any return,
whether partial or complete, to the Spanish yoke.
The union of the Papal See and State was progres-
sing ; crosses and decorations given by the Pope
were publicly worn, and preparations were being

destroyed the greater part of the town. The Eu-
ropa passed the steamer Niagara, from this port,
on the 4th, about a day's sail from Boston. On the

hence from New York, about 40 miles E.N.E. of
Cape Race, and at 1 a.m. this morning passed the
steamer Arabia, hence from New York, off the
Maidens.

A downward tendency had been apparent in the

the growing crop. Flour in good demand, at

ENCOUNTERS AT EBOR.

encounters, although it is sorely wanted to compensate
the backers of horses for their many recent disappoin

Since Saturday the progress of speculation has be
marked by many significant, but in certain instances not
unexpected, changes. This remark particularly Wiles
to the Ebor Handicap, which promises to become what
is technically called a good betting race. Of the favour-
ites, Pantomime alone has retained his position in the
i.'
market with any degree of firmness. The latest quota-
tions show him to be the ruling favourite. Both Cats-
paw and King of Trumps are at the time I write quite
out of favour—the retrogression of the latter horse
being perhaps attributable to the "introductioon
n
of the Sally Warfoot colt. The movements e"
Dot
nected with them are watched with interest
unmingled with suspicion. Sufficient is known of the
" Dawson division" and their tactics, to induce the
betting fraternity to watch their doings narrowl9.

asserts that his inglorious exhibition for the Northinn:
berland Plate was not owing to his inability to sustain
the contest!
Lord Fauconberg has recently been supported With
unequivocal determination. His running at Newcastle)
with Honeywood and Vindex, must not be disregarded.
He was then big and lusty, and appeared to be more
adapted to the stud than the race-course. Still he
comparative heaviness of his weight induces me to pltace
slender hopes in his ability to achieve success. St,
Andrew is another " importation" into the ranks
the favourites. He is handicapped at five stone, tnee
lightest weight in the list, a circumstanc
which is, perhaps, calculated to render his chance some-
what formidable. Report speaks favourably of the fin'
provement which his form displays since his Spring

training treatment of the Wizard of the North. lan

fair way of recovery.
The opinions which I expressed on Saturday as t°
the probable result of the race have undergone no In;
terial change ; indeed, they have been rather confirmed
by the "incidents of speculation." I then wrote $5

" The horses I shall select against the field are—
" PANTOMIME, ADINE, and KING OF TRUMPS."
" Lord Lieutenant and Cat'spaw are next entitled 1°„
consideration. For a cockboat I shall take RED LION•o.
I still fancy the BEST of Dawson's lot will be amongthe foremost flight of competitors, but whether that
" best" will be King of Trumps, Sally Warfoot colt, or
Galvanism, it is difficult to determine. The only
alteSrs
tion which I wish to make is the substitution of t'
Andrew for Cat'spaw.
To-morrow I will discuss the probable result of the
events to be decided on Wednesday.
