DAYS LATER FROM
EUROPE.

7ico attempts to dSSdsSih0te the Queen Of
Engl0Hd-M0re disastrous neaCS from
Lndia--FaN of Ghuznee.
The Britannia arrived at Boston about
IL o'clock on Saturday morning. She left
Liverpool on the afternoon of the 4th
and brings London and Liverpool papers
of the morning of that day.
The British war steamer Rhadamanthus
arrived at Halifax on the 18th instant
with dispatches to Lord Ashburton, and
orders for the Warspite to proceed to the
Mediterranean. The special messenger to
Lord Ashburton came from Halifax in the
Britannia, and it is rumored that his de-
spatches are of the highest Importance.
The most prominent items of news are
two attempts upon the life of the Queen Of
England, and the fall of Ghuznee, one of
the strongest British fortresses in India.
On the present condition Of the money
market, the Bankers Circular states:
1T does not appear to US that the value
of money is likely to fall lower; at least.
we may say that it would not be prudent
TO lock it up at a low rate permanently, or
for considerable period. The East India
Company must, we think, at no distant
date, come into the English market as bor
rowers. They have raised the rate of the
rupee in drawing from Is l0d to Is lid
to 2s Id. This will probably force out
remttances of silver, and some gold from
England to India"
The income tax bill and the tariff have
nearly passed he House of Commons, and
will speedily be taken through the House
of Lords and receive the royal assent
The alterations that have been made in the
customs duties, as originally proposed, du-
ring their progress through the lower house,
are very trivial.
Sir Robert Peel has volunteered a de-
claraton, that after careful investigation
into the conduct of Capt. Elliot in China,
he has arrived at the conclusion that "ev-
cry confidence may be placed in his integ-
rty and ability to perform his functions"
The, captain has, consequently, departed
for His consulship at Texas, which removes
of course, any remaining doubt, if any ex-
listed, as to the formal completion of the
treaties between Great Britain and Texas
The smuggling of tobacco into England
seems to give pretty steady employment
to the revenue officers. Several extensive
seizures of the article have been made.
Mr.. Henry Ingram, one Of the most ex-
tensive woollen manufacturers in York
J shire, has failed for an immense amount

BOONE COUNTY.

We are rejoiced to see the Wing:
of Boone are arousing themselves to a
proper degree of action. We have often
been asked the question if the Wings OF
old Boone were going to let themselves be
defeated in their strong hold? and the
only answer we could give, was that we
hoped not, but from appearances we were
fearful of the result. But now that there
has been a call for meeting of the citizens
to make a selection from the many candi-
dates already in the field, we have no
fears as to the result, and feel perfectly
safe in setting down old Boone, as she ,cds.
And we think we may also say the same
of Randolph county. For Senator Gen.
Wilson is candidate for the district
composed Of the countiesof Randolph and
Charlton, as true Wing as the truest,
and we much mistake the intelligence and
discrimination of the people of the dis
trict, if he is not elected by handsome
majority. He is opposed by DR.. Fort.
In Cooper, the Wings are also awake TO
their duty, and confident of success.

FOR TIE TINES.

MeSSrS. Benson d. Green:---ln n late
number of the Democrat the editor
speaking of a communication in the
Times" over the signature. of Josiah
FISK" declining a nomination as candi-
date for the Legislature, says that he thinks
Mr.. FISK man of too much good sense
to write such a communication. | do not
understand the kind of reasoning to which
the editor of that paper has been accus-
toned. Perhaps he, as well as some Of
the leaders of the same party, has so long
enjoyed the spoils of Office that he cannot
think that a man of sense would decline
office. Such being the sentiments of the
organ of the Democratic party, we need
not wonder at the broils and tumults that
are raised in the Democratic ranks by the
various aspirants in the general scramble
for office. If Mr. FISK, or any other per-
son wished to have his communications
considered sensible, by the editor of the
Democrat" he ought not to decline being
a candidate: IN the contrary he ought to
aspire to one office, and when disappointed
in that, he ought to set his friends to work
in order to produce dissatisfaction with
regard to the regularly nominated candi-
dates. He ought then to have meeting
of few citizens and have resolution
passed for a new Convention. At the
extra Convention he ought to be nomina-
ted, and then arise and beg leave to de-
cline the nomination, and at the same time
whisper to his misrepresenting Secretary,
and his pet-bank- belted-sappling 10 urge
his claims; and by political bargainings,
and jugglings and intrgues turn out well
tried Democrat who had been fairly Sc
lected by Convention only short time
before. While such proceedings are re-
commended and countenanced we cannot
expect the people to have their choice.
Modest and deserving men will not risk
their regulations amid such scrambling for
power. Under such state Of affairs we
must expect to see the designing and crafty
elevated upon the temple of fame, whilst
modest merit lies bleeding at the base of
that temple. Would it not be better for
our country if every person preferred to
enjoy the peace and quiet of private life,
rather than political excitement and promo
ton! And if fame is what he wants, let it
be not that fame which is sought after,
but that which is sure to follow an hon.
orable and correct course of conduct in
all the transactions of life. If such senti-
ments were acted out, we might expect to
see the various Offices of the government
confided to men of worth and talent. We
might then have reasonable hope of
transmitting our free form of government,
and free institutions 10 posterity, if not
improved, at least unimpaired.
