Fifteen days LATER
FROM EUROPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE ITIBERNIA.

The New York Herald has received by express
from Boston, letters and dispatches from the
steamship Hibena, which arrived at Boston on
Sunday, after passage ofsixtecn days from Liv-
erpool.
The intelligence is fifteen days later, and is
highly interesting in political, commercial and
financial point of view. The fall in cotton is
from Is to 4thper pound.
OConnel has not been sentenced.
ANNEXATION.-- Texas question of
Annexation had reached England, and produced
a very great sensation in political circles.
The Liverpool Mercury has the following on
the subject :--E'The Intelligence brought by the
last arrivals from the United States is Of great in
terest and importance. 1t appears that a special
envoy has arrived at Washington, from the Tex
IAN Government, commissioned TO make au Off
cial offer of annexation on the part Of the young
republic. An offer of a similar description was
made in the year 1887, and was then rejected,
but under very different circumstances. At that
period the acceptance of the offer Of the Texans
would have involved the United States in an ex-
tensivc, embarrassing and somewhat uncertain
war with Mexico, and also in the very probable
contingency of rupture with England. More
over, the public mind in tho United States was
very much divided on the subject ofslavery, and
a great jealousy existed on the part Of the New
England States in regard to any accession of in
huence in the Union TO the Southern interests.
In the present instance also, it appears very
uncertain whether, on the whole, the annexation
of Texas may not be an event rather favorable
than otherwise for British interest. Fit deprives
us of means Of annoying the United States,
and so far removes the temptation TO a war, it is
by no means certain that this ought not to be
looked on as an advantage. A war with the U.
States, oven if successful beyond our most san
guine expectations, would be calamity of the
most fatal description. Moreover, the annexa-
ton of Texas would give great additional pre-
ponderance in the Union to the interest upon
which we must necessarily rely the most for
maintenance offriendy political and commercial
relations with England--that namely, of the
Southern cotton growing States Nor is it eyor
good policy in a nation to commit Itself to all OPP
position against the natural course of events,
which evidently points to the ultimate ncorpora-
ton of the unoccupied prairies of Texas with the
neghborng and parent State. We trust, there
fore, that whatever may be the result of the pres
ent negotiations at Washington, the amicable re-
laions between the two countries will not be dis
turbed by any unreasonable interference on our
part with the domestic affairs of another cont-
nent." -
IRELAND.--Ireland was in very exciting
state, and our next accounts from Great Britain
must be oftho most interesting nature.

day, and Unpopular branch of The legislature has
