r. LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
NssU- York, Moo. e4.--The ship HibeFnia,
Capt. Maxwell, brings London dates to the
evening ofthe 18th Of October, and Liverpool
| to the nth.
The English opposition papers were very
clamOrOus at the prospect Nf the blockade Of
the mouth Of the Scheldt, and an expected at
tack upon Antwerp. There is no appearance
Of opposition to the blockade, from any Eu-
ropean power. Even Prussia IT Is said, will not
10 any way oppose il. There is 20 new symp-
tom Of general war from this source.
We see nothing further from Portugal OF
any importance.
Holland and BelgiUm.-Ihe Messenger des
Chambers Of October 18th, says, the affairs
of Belgium are becoming more complicated.
Never since the revolution of September, has
the position Of that country been SO embar-
raised. According to its laws and its consti-
tuition the Chambers are to assemble ut Brus-
sells on the 5th Of November !; and the discOn-
tent Of the army and Of the nation Is 90 uFN
gent, that Leopold will be compelled TO attack
Holland between this and the Goth Of OctO-
her, The law is positive for the assembling
of the Chambers. The session cannot be de-
layed and the King Of the Belgians feeling
his situation, has writtenfO Lord PalmerstOn
to say that he cannot under any prefext ex-
coed the delay which. we have pointed out.
Turkey and Egypt.-The accounts from
Constaniinople, which are 10 the 10th Of Sep
TENDER inclusive. continue to be unfavorabie
10 the Porte. The last remnant of the Tur.
kish army was defeated at Babylon on the
goth Of August, and Ibrahim occupied Ada
ma. In fact the Sultan's army is said to be
entirely dissolved. 1t is believed therefore
that the Sultan win be obliged to negotiate
with Muhammed Ali, and it is even said that
he has already shown himself prepared 10 do
tons between the conte0ding parties, or thro'
the mediation ofa friendly power is not known;
the latter seems the most probable.
Singular. Easton Sentinel relates the.
following -" The citizens of Allentown were
very much startled and surprised few Sun.
days ago by a strange Occurrences which hap
pened at the Lutheran Church Of that place.
While the Rev. Mr.. Yeager was about admin
istering the sacrament, and had just left the
pulpit to come down to the altar for that pur-
pose, two large black snakes emerged from
the wall and unseen by the congregation be-
low, commenced ganboling and chasing each
other upon the top Of the sounding board las

After service the place was examined ana

apparently have caused cons'oe.aO1e compress

How the snakes could have made their way
