FOREIGN NEWS.
Il DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.

Is DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
The Acadia arrived at Boston on Saturday,
bringing London papers to the 4th inst. The At
las says:
There has seldom been an arrival by which so
little OF interest or importance has been obtained
Although we have by ii the intelligence by The
overland mail from India, bringing dates month
later from that point of intense interest, we have
only to record the absence of all intelligence Of
importance, except only the grateful news that
there have beeh new disasters or massacres of
English troops in that quarter All remains as IL
was. From China, too, we have nothing new as
to the past, and only prospective movements of
Sir Henry Potnger. From Syria the intelligence,
so far as it goes, seems to promise little more
quiet in that distracted region. The threatened
hosttes between Greece and Turkey have been
stopped by peaceful adjustment of their difficult
ties.
From England we find very little worthy Of
mention Parliament had been busy engaged in
the consideration of The three great measures OF
the minisry-tle new tarih'-the income tax
and the corn aws-the last has virtually passed
both Houses, aud ere this has become law, pre-
cisely as reported by The Committee of the House
OF Commons The other measures had been I'm.
der discussion in the lower House, and every at
tempt Of the opposition to delay, defeat, or EN-
barlass them, had been promptly voted down by
decisive majortes
But the most important intelligence, importan,
to us from the effect IL cannot fail to have upon
The business and financial and commercial Coidi-
ton of this country, relates to the state of the
trade and the market of Great Britain. We re-
greet sincerely 10 announce that IN this respect u
very serious and decided change for the worse,
has taken place since the last accounts. The pas
sing CLEAN of sunshine which appeared in the
impro vement of cotton, has been found to have
been Elusive. 1t has passed away, and gloom
deeper than before has succeeded. We have al
ready too often referred to the causes in operation,
which produce aud which will continue 10 pro-
duce, this depressed condition of our great simple
III The English Market, and MS a necessary con
sequence, every where else. The constant endeuv-
ors of the English to increase and improve the a.
mount and quantity of the EAST INDIA COTToN,
lies at the root of the whole evil The cause and
the effect are so evident, that he who runs may
rend, if they have disposition, aud if they will not
voluntarily blind their own eyes by purtizan pre-
JUDGE and preference for darkness over light. In
the very case before us what do we find to have
been the one great cause of the depressed state of
the cotton market? Nothing less than this, thai
during The ioeek preceding the 23d Of .Aprt The i'm
port Of East India cotton toihn less than three
hundred bales, equal IN amount, 10 that Of american
What startling fact The time has been within
year when these imports did not amount to IA
twelfth part Of the American And now we find
the imports of cotton from Bombay equalIing, in
amount, one-third of the whole importation, ex-
ceeping that of all the other kinds together ex
cept the American, and only falling rife short
of that And yet the infatuated opponents of A
mercan interests, who would blind the eyes of
the people TO the necessity of self preservation
from the destructive policy of Britain, and The
Post among the NUMBER would have their readers
believe that we have nothing to upprebcnd from
the competition Of East India cotton We find,
from the records contained in the Liverpool Mer.
curry of The 25th of April, that during the prece-
ding week the total amount of Imports into that
city was 997S Of cotton, us folows
