ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.
sEvENrREN nAYs LATER FROM EUROPE.

SEVENTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EuRuFE'ss
The steam packet Caledonia, Capt. Lott
arrived at this port this morning at O'Clock,
| in IA LIZ days from Liverpool, bringing
London and Liverpool papers to the 9th inst.
The most striking article of news is that
of the visit of Queen Victoria and Prince
Albert to France. Parliament was proro-
gued by the Queen in person, Aug. "a. The
Queen alluded in the speech to the church
extension bill. and the bill relating to the
| Scotch Church, as measures of peculiar in
terest which had passed at this session, and
had met her approval. The speech closed
with an allusinn to the affairs of Wales and
Ireland, and the hope that the peace OF those
districts would be secured without any call
for extraordinary powers.
The state of trade i'll England was appar-
emily improving. In consequence OF the
! report of short crop of cotton in the Uni
ted States, carried out by the Acadia, there
was an advance in the price of that article
of l-6 to lad, with an increased activity of
sales. The amount of the last weeks sales
was $4,000 bales, about half of which was
taken on speculation.
The Spanish Regent, Espartero, Duke of
Vittoria, arrived at Falmouth in the Promo
theus steamer, on the Goth ut. The Pro-
motheus before anchoring, however, pro-

Duchess of Vittoria and her daughter
After the Duchess had joined him, Espar
| tero proceeded at once to London, with his
suit, consisting of about fifteen noblemen
ard officers, and four servants. He took
residence at once in the Regents Park, and
| expressed desire to live as much retired
as possible. He had been received with the
| utmost attention, and presented to the
Queen.
The King of Hanover had returned to his
own dominions.
O'Connell's movements in ireland con-
tinued, without exciting much attention out
of that island.
The new government of Spain was rot
yet firmly settled, but we find no notice of
other violent proceedings than riots in Bar
celona, which are almost matter of course.
The Queens trip to France appears to
have been made at the suggestion of Louis
Philippe, who sent over his sons the Due d.
her Majesty. She sailed with Prince Albert
and suit day or two after, much to the sur
prise, apparently, of her own Subjects such
was the suddenness of the whole affair. The
royal squadron landed her Majesty and the
Prince at Treport, where they were receiv-
ed by the King and Queen of the French,
with whom they proceeded at once to Eu,
the summer residence of Louis Philippe
From Eu they were to go to Paris. Her
Majesty was only to spend a few days in
France. She and the Prince was every
where received with the greatest civility
and enthusiasm by the French court and
people.
WHAT IS A NAME!-Why is it that the
name of Henry Clay is never mentioned in
public without an outbreak of enthusiastic
applause ! the Utica Gazette tells US, that
while Prof. Grimes was lecturing in that
place on Phrenology, he had occasion fire.

markable for some prominent external indi.
cation, and for corresponding mutIl!as.. mani.
festations of character. Among the rest that
of Henry Clay and the moment that was
done and the audience caught view of it,
! with the announcement that this is the head
of Henry Clay and before the lecturer had
time to utter another word, there burst
spontaneously, as it seemed, with almost en-
tire unanimity, such a repeated and
drowning peal of applause, encoreing
and cheering, three times repeated, as to
make the whole house as it were shake, and
the echoes of the explosion to reverbrate
through its arches and colonades.
Professor Grimes was evidently astonsh.
ed and taken by surprise and when the
noise had subsidized pleasantly remarked,
that he had undesignedly touched very erci.

1t was the heart that was touched by the
name of Clay-it was the swelling forth of
gushing enthusiasm, determined to do " JUS

A YANKEE CRusADER.-A correspondent
ofthe Boston Atlas writing from Paris says
While at the American Legation, a few
days since. rough looking backwoodsman,

other. He wished to have the former uised.
Where for?" "Jerusalem ~ allow are

So he had left his family, and managed to
