Boston on the 3D., brings European news week
later. This is generally uninteres;ing. O'Con-
nell has hit npona federal project which is to
swer for repeal. Louis Philippe has returned
to France from his recent visit to England.
Our Minister, MIR. Everett, who has been absent
for some months on the continent, has returned
to his post at the Court of ST. James.
The commercial news is not of great interest.
Cotton is quoted US little heavy, with a tendency
to decline. Flour and grain in moderate request,
at the rates of the previous week.
The Grain markets are dull. On Foreign ba r.
ley the import duty has advanced to 4s, and that
on Rye has receded to 6d--the only changes eli.
fected in the averages up to Tuesday last. A lit.
tie business has bcen doing in Foreign Wheat, but
other descriptions were extremely dull. English
and Irish Flour, although taken sparingly, main.
tain quotations. Canadian stale Flour meets at.
tention-a moderate quantity changing hands
United States Flour has been in fair request, al the
previous rates. ".. tft

ers upon the subject, in order to SEQ whether, by
shipping wooens themselves and getting tea in
return for them, which they can sell in England,
they may not do better.
In the manufacturing district business has been
brisk. The spinners Of several large cotton mills
have obtained an ndSa nee of wages, to the amount
of penny thousand hanks, a sufficient proof
th"t trade is not only brisk but fourishing. In
Yorkshire the cloth halls have been doing more
business. The accounts from Leicester states,
that so dull an October has not been known for
years. ...
The money market continues buoyant, and the
rage for new railway investment is as strong as
ever. The probability is, that with such q super.
abundance of money which cannot find profitable
investment tho range Of speculation will con.

Villanous Hoar.-Tbe paragraph which VIC
copied yesterday from the Pitisburg Spirit Of the
Age, headed Robbery and Attempt 10 Murder" "

We have reason 10 believe TINT the account Of
the robbery and attempted murder of Mr.. Dill A.
Smith, by DR.. Tappan, of SteubonvilIe, published
in this paper last week. originated with some
black-hearted scoundrel to crafty his own maIig-
nant feeling. The matter was contained in a
postscript to a letter from Smith to his wife.
That part Of said letter was exhibited to US on Sa.
turday; and on examination we were fully con-
vinced that tho seal had been broken and the post
cript inserted by some villain, into whose hands
the letter had fallen either wound the feelings of
the wife of Mr.. Smith. or TO injure the good name
and character of DR.. Tappnn. We should like a
small portion-of tho rascaI's ear--not on account
Of its value. but for the reason Of its being ras

the 2slh ult a pretty large audience gathered at
the New York tabernacle to listen to the Lee
ture Of Mr.. Noah, on The restoration of the Jews.
The lecturer maintained that the prophecies Of the

Of the Jews to the land of Puirs,ine; and he pre-.
senied a review of the revolutions which have
uIely occurred in the East. and which he though,
indicated the speedy fulfment Of those predictions.
lie appealed to Christians 10 aid in this grea; o.

to obtain the permission OF the Turkish Sultan for
