ELEVEN DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND
ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.

ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA
1.-THE Caledonia steamer arrived at Boston on
Wednesday morning, in little short of fourteen
days from Liverpool, bringing Liverpool papers to
Oct 18th, and London to the 18th.
The quarterly account of British revenue was
made up to Oct. I0--The result less favora-
bic tran had been anticipated. Notwithstanding
the receipts from corn duties, which amounted to
only E206, 760, and from the property tax, G3I3,-
S44, there had been so great falling oil IN other
branches, that there was decrease on the quarter
of $67, ALB.
The news car led out by these vessels was not of
n character to excite much attention, Some OF The
London papers published Mr.. Webster's Faneu
Hall speech which, we are told, has been read in
England with much interest.
The state of trade in the English manufacturing
districts is unavoraJe. The Liverpool cotton
market remains dull and inactive. During the
past fortnight the transactions have been on such
very limited scale as to afford no scope for re-
mark.
The bank of Manchester has failed. A meeting
of the shareholders was held on the I7th of October
when, on examination of the accounts; it was found
that such was the deranged state OF affairs, owing
the misnana cement of the committee, that there
was in the whole total loss OF nearly 5000, 200
Mr.. Burdekn, one of the managers, has recently
absconded.
The Great Western steamship is advertised for
sale. On the l7th of October, she was put up for
sale by public auction, at Bristol, but the bidding
being too low, she was bought in by the company,
for SAC, 900, and the directors instructed to
treat for her sale by private contract.
A Liverpool correspondent says the Dublin Eve
ming Post informs US that contract has been enter
ed into there for the supply of five thousand barrels
of American flour, be delivered in November, at
1Ss per barrel of 29G lbs. This is little more than
one penny Ter pound!
FROM AFFGEIANISTAN.
The papers give further interesting details of the
history of affairs in Afghanistan, The following
is from the LonLon Times:
Far from cvacuating AGghanistan, it now appears
that Gen. Mott and his brigade have left Candahar
on their road to Ghuznee; and it is expected that
when these troops shall have reached that fortress,
n simultaneous advance will take place from thence
and from JelIaabad upon Cabul. 1t is also imng
med that Canadian is being finally relinquished.-
If the objects of Lord Marlborough, is not the ac
QUESTION of territory this, think is wise. 1t is
from Cabul that can best hope to dictate fitting
terms of peace, and it may well be that the cOntln-
ued occupation of Candahar, distant some 800 miles
from its distant capitol, and in no way bearing up
its lines of communication with our own terri
tory might form mere impeachment to vigorous
and united operations against the head quarters of
our enemies, and the prison house of our country
Towards the end of July, Gen Mott left Canda-
dar. Sir John keenes army was something
under four weeks marching from that city to
Ghuznee; by the next months mail, therefore, we
may hope to hear that General Pollock IS also
his way 20 CabuI, destined, we hope, to retain the
credit of British by an honorable, and therefore
abiding peace.
Finally, it is with unfeined pleasure that we hear
satisfactory accounts of the prisoners. They were
said to be confined in fortress about five miles
from Cabool, and allowed ''to move about the
mountains, and to ride in small parties into that
CITY,"
