--LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By the arrival this morning, of The ship
Atlantic, capt. Taylor, in So days from
Dublin, we have been favored with pa

/ and London paper Of the evening OF the
ISth-Gbree days later than before recel-

they contain OF any Importance.
The latest news from London is to the
evening of Saturday, May 10. The stock
market had bees much sgitated during the
week, in consequence OF the uncertainty
about the Pension Loan, which it was ex-
pected would have been taken by the
South Sea Company. But that company
did not subscribe to exceed one million
and halt-llttle more than one fourth of
the sum required by the government.
The fuctuation, however, was rot excee>
ding one per cent. Consols for the week
had been pretty steady at rs a, but
declined to ISL A negotiation was set
on foot with the Bank of England, by

touching the sinking fund would be avoid

siderably, Consols for the account touch
ed 1913 8, and for the opening in July, 8O5.

there, they could not accommodate the
sick. The type of The fever is stated by a
medical gentleman OF eminence, 10 be
more malignant, and its duration much
longer than in May 1877; running out

The Belfast Chronicle remarks it is not
| little singular, that Notwithstanding the
starving situation of the peasantry of the
south, two vessels had recently arrived in
Belfast from Galway with oatmeal; and
on the same day another vessel arrived

teriord Mirror, we find the following re-
mark great as the present emergency is
deemed, the patriot, the philosopher, the
statesman, may be well occupied in con-
