ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA

By the British and North American Royal Mail steam-
ship Europa, Captain Shannon, which arrived on Sunday
night, we have 'intelligence from New York to the 31st
ult. She brought 110 passengers and 659,227 dirs. in
specie.
Consequent upon the accident which befel the Arctic
steamer, in leaving Liverpool, on her last trip, no further
news from England had been received, but the arrival of
that vessel was anxiously looked for.
• We learn from Washington that the French Minister
had an interview with Mr. Marcy, when diplomatic notes
were exchanged, in relation to the recent arrest, at San
Francisco, of Mr. Dillon, the French Consul at that port.
Touching the relationship between America and Spain,
in reference to the Black Warrior case, little additional
had transpired. A letter from Washington states that
there was a difference of opinion in the cabinet in relation
to Mr. Soule's deinand for the removal of 'the Captain-
General of Cuba. The belief was that the determination
is to sustain him, as there is a precedent for the demand
which the Spanish government cannot well refuse to re-
cognize.
The excitement in Boston, relative to the arrest of Burns,
a fugitive slave, continued.
The Committee on Foreign relations reported a resolu-
tion manifesting the sense of Congress relative to the re-
lief afforded to the surveying party of Lieutenant Strain,
by the officers and crew of the British steamer Virago,
and voting, a gold medal to each of the officers, and 100
dirs. to each of the men engaged in affording relief.
A steam-boat, measuring 345 feet in length, and called
the Plymouth Rock, had been launched at New York.
Neutias, Venezula, had been destroyed by fire, and
many lives lost.
Letters from Vera Cruz, to the 18th ult.' state that
Santa Anna made a triumphal entry into the city of
Mexico on the 16th. After Santa Anna raised the siege
of Acapulco, he fought a battle with Alvarez, and defeated
him.

According to the New York Herald, the visit of Lord
Elgin to Washington is to conclude a treaty in reference
to the adjustment of the Fishery Question, as well as to
provide for reciprocity of trade with the North American
colonies. The principle is extended to all the natural pro-
ducts of each country, with the exception of coal, tobacco,
and sugar, and it is thought the first-mentioned article
will likewise be included. Great Britain has acquieseed in
the terms, but with the important proviso that the colonies
also agree to them.
There had been four failures reported at Baltimore,
namely, Messrs. E. S. Morris and Son, silk goods mer-
chants ; Metcalfe, Spicer, and Co., bankers ; Hollins and
League, grocers ; and Messrs. Langston and Co., dry goods
dealers.
In a recent steam-boat explosion, at San Francisco, it
was proved that the engineer, who was killed, had fastened
an oar over the safety-valve of the boiler in order to make
more steam. The captain, who was aware of it, escaped
uninjured, he having a few minutes previously told a
friend of his, unless he wanted to be sent into eternity, to
go to the extreme aft of the steamer, while he went to the
extreme bow.
The Hoboken Ferry, on the Jersey shore, had been the
scene of a serious accident by which over a hundred per-
sons were immersed in water. A bridge fell while up-
wards of 500 persons were standing on it, awaiting the
arrival of the next steam-boat. A wild cry of alarm arose,
and at one time it was supposed that more than half of
those on the bridge had met with watery graves, but this
proved untrue.
