Late from Europe.
The Steamship Columbia, Capt. Judkins, ar
rived at Boston on Thursday morning from Liv-
erpool, after a tedious passage of IS days. She
brings over 100 passengers
The news is not important. The Britannia
had arrived with the news Of the decision of the
Supreme Court in the Case of Mcleod, which
created profound sensation. Stocks fell slight
". and there was every indication of intense
.though not turbulent feeling.
The Tory majority in Parliament will be about
80. The Ministers will not resign until the
Houses expresses its want Of confidence by de-
eided vote.
The Paeha of Egypt has submitted unreseryed-

There had arrived a fresh overland Mall from
India; but it brings nothing important from
China.

Cotton has fallen led or nearly So per bale.
Money is scarce, and Stocks depressed. Trade
is dull. The following are the only items OF any
interest
McLEoD-Ou Nagal Force-The London
Morning Herald in an article the Mcleod
case, and which it reviews at some length the
report presented to Congress by the Secretary of
the Navy, recommending the formation OF
Home Squadron, thus concludes
sour own ardent hope is that the United States
Government, by calm, and dignified, and dis
passionate policy-unswayed by party demon
STATIONS or factious demands, will yet forbear
from any course of proceeding toward Great
Britain which may ever give to this report any
interest more painful than that of a statistical
document of great accuracy. If it once allow
the clamor of unbrldled prejudice and national
antipahes on the part of few noisy dema-
gogues to impel it to acts of violence and blood
shed, such at this moment they are endeavor-
ing to force it upon-as surely as 1T will have thus
recapitulated the powers of It's injured antago-
mist to inflict the penalty, so certainly will 1t
have insured its visitation
"But we shall yet rely upon a sense of justice
stronger than the appetite of vengence "a sense
of national dignity and self-respect more power
full than the influences of a cabal, or the animos-
ity of a cub,-and sense Of the interest Of hui
manity, in the sustained amlty and mutual conf
dence of two mighty Nations more vigorous than
either -
China and India.
From the London Times Of August ID.
Our express from China and India, iii antcipa-
ton of the mail, brings intelligence OF very lit
tie importance The last dates are-from Macao
the ID of A pril, Calcutta the 9TH of June, Bonn
bay.the 18th of june and from Alexandra the
18th of July.
BOMBAY June l9.-Our accounts from China
are to the ID of April, only two days later than
those brought by the steamer Queen on the goth
of that month"; and which we received IN June.
Commodore Sir Gordon Bremen, who had been
in the Calcutta since the middle of March, lett
that place for Canton in the steamer Queen on
the 25th of May, to resume his offices as naval
commander and Joint penpotentiary in China
He takes with him numerous renforcements, and
others are following in transports. The whole
fleet may be expected to reach Canton by the
beginning of July. As his excellency
rejoins the squadron, there can be but little doubt
that hostile operations will be renewed. 1t IS
probable this expedition will be TOO late to get up
the peiho this year. They may re-take Chusan,
and the steamers might reconnoitre 70 the north
ward, but we doubt if matters will be finally ar
ranged until the season of 1912. The results OF
this supplementary expedition are looked forward
to with the greatest anxiety, for upon the pru-
dent management of the question tser our future
relations with the Chinese.
At Macao our troops and the fleet still remain
ed in position awaiting renforcements and orders
while the Emperor of China, inhamed TO the
highest pitch of anger by the presumptuous pro-
cpedngs Of the British in attacking his towns
and destroying his ships, was issuing furious
edicts and DEGREES against them. One OF his
edicts, in reference to the capture Of the Bogue
Forts, contains the following words: ''They
have carried their unsubmissve rebellion to this
extreme and Cthe EMPEROR now swear that
both Powers shall not stand, one or the other
must conquer or die.
In the Punjaub things still remained in most
distracted state. The Governor of Cashmere
mad been murdered. In Scinde affairs appeared
as far as ever from settlement. The Nepauese
have become troublesome, and appeared to re-
buire severe lesson. In Afghanistan things
were comparatively quiet Dost Mahommed was
amusing himself in Calcutta, where he was treat
ed with marked attention and respect. In Herat
things were again quiet, and Var Mahommed
was likely to give no farther trouble.
