LATEST FROM EUROPE.

NEW York, SEPT. 1.-The packet ship Geo.
Canning, Captain F. Allyn, arrived this forenoon
from Liverpool, having sailed on the cath OF July.
BY this conveyance the editors oil the Commercial
Advertiser have received their regular fiIes Of
English, Irish and Scotch papers to the latest
dates, together with the latest commercial ad''ces
The London papers extend to the morning OF the
Esd July, inclusive. There is not much news
either continental or British. The late hour al
which our papers were received, renders IL I'M
possible to 60 much into details. But 1t Is oeie'
ed no item of Importance has been omitted IN
the following abstract of the contents of the latest
papers.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The House Of Commons was still occupied IN
Committee upon the details of the Reform BILL
The Tory opposition contests every inch OF
ground, & the consequence is, that very slow pro-
gress is made. Some spirited debates occur hut
they arise altogether on incidental questions
In the mean time some of the papers seem appre-
hensve that the reform fever abates, while the re-
forming majority decreases. In many instances
the fate of each borough Is discussed aud decided
on its individual merlts-or rather dement's, tor
we take it for granted that there is little merit
with anv of them. In all, thirty two boroughS
have thus far been disposed of by dIsfranchlse-
ment On the question whether the census OF
1921 or of s5l, should be adoped for placing the
boroushs in Schedules A and b, the majority
who voted with Ministers in favor OF the former
was s44. The minority numbered 100.
In the House Of Commons, on the 18th, Lord
Althrop stated that the expenses of the corona.
ton would not amount to one fifth OF the outlay
incurred b. the last ceremony, and that none
would bt incurred without estimates previously
forwarded to the treasury. The attendance OF
persons bound to perform services on the occasion,
by ancient usages, l. dispensed with by procla-
nation. His Maiesty's health is said to be deli
cate. and this is one of the reasons assigned for
omittsng the customary raseantry. Preparations
we're making for the ceremony which will take
place on the Sth of Sept. next Thursday; and
the Court Of claims was to sit on the 25h uIt
A petition was presented on the 10Th in the
House of Commons, from certain clergymen and
elders of Glasgow, against the renewal OF grant
to Maynorth College, in which the Roman Cath
olic religion was termed ldolatrous. On Mr..
O'Connell's motion, it was read by the Clerk,
and led to lively debate. The language OF the
petition was censurcd by Messrs. Hume, Lord
Althrope, and Sir. r. Peel, and, on division,
the House refused to allow it to be printed.
In consequence of Mr.. Wellesley's disobeying
the order Of the Court of Chancery, in decis-
| sion cusHrmed by the H. Of Lords, by violently
removing one Of his children. ward of the court,
the Lord Chancellor, (Brougham) committed him
for contempt. Mr.. WELLESLEY is member of the
House of Commons. and the question OF prlvi-
lede was raised in that body. and referred TO a
committee The Chancellor alluded to the mat
ter in the House of Lords on the 18th, stating
that he had no doubt of the correctness OF the
measure he had been compelled TO adopt. A let
| ter from Mr. Wellesley to him is published in the
Morning Herald Of the 2lst, which indicates an
imperfect education, or an insane state of mind.

whereby the two Governments have bound them
selves to an intercession with Russia in favor Of
the Poles The treaty was concluded about a

we announced this fact in our article of yester-

consider that the existence of the treaty is now
placed almost beyond doubt.
