FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM
EUROPE.

Liyerpool dates TO the 1911 May-hav-
inc performcd the trip in lea days.
The news is in many respects interest
ing and we find it, asusual. admirably
colIatcd and prepared to our hand in the
European Times of Messrs. Wilmer
g. Smith. Perhaps the most important
item of intelligence by this arrival is
the confirmation OF the intention on
the part Of the British Government to
abstain from all interference in any
shape with the affairs Of Texas. The
announcement Of the Treaty Of Mr..
Tyler for the Annexation Of that coun-
try 10 the United States had Of course
created great excitement and astonish-
ment; but even this unheard Of move
ment, which was well calculated 10 cre-
ate i'll feelings in a Government so
Jealous and watchful as that Of Great
Britain, has aroused no intention of
contesiing for prize which that Gov
ernment perhaps considers worse than
worthless, nor any disposition to take
advantage of this exciting question for
the purpose of interfering with Ameri-
can Institutions. The following are
the proceedings in Parliament:
"Lord Brougham wished TO ask the
noble lord, the Secretary Of Foreign
Affairs, if he had received information
with respect to the Treaty for the An
nexalion OF Texas with the U. States.
This was a question of vast importance,
so far as the abolition of Slavery was
concerned, but he trusted that the de-
Gliding portion ofthe Congress, namely,
two-thirds Of tho members, would OPP
pose it. Nothing which had dropped
from him or the noble lord al the head
Of the Foreign Department even .justi-
fled the inference that this country, al
though dcploring the existence Of Sla-
very, ever contemplated any interfer-
encc with the Constitution of America
"The Earl of ABERDEEN said the no
BILE and learned lord could not expect
him TO give precise answer 10 the
question he asked. 1t was a subject
quite new and unexampled 10 the his
tory Of nations, and his noble and
learned friend might depend upon il
that it would receive the most serious
attention of her Maiesty's Govern
ment. 1t was true, he believed, that
the Treaty for tie Annexation of Tex
as TO the u. States had been signed; bu.
he agreed in the hope expressed by his
noble and learned friend, that the ma
ioriiy Of Congress would not agree to
the Ratification oft. At present he
could not speak with confidence on the
subject; but when the time came, he
should state his opinions to the House,
and act consistently with his duty as
minister Of the Crown. Nothing that
he or the noble lord opposite had ever
said, could justify the suspicion that
they intended 10 interfere with Amcri-
can Institutions.
Much to the chagrin Of his enemies,
Mr.. O'Connell has not yet been sem
fenced, and seems quite as far from the
dungeon door as ever. Opinion APP
pears to be gaining consistence that the
Judges have serious doubts as TO the
strict legality Of some of their proceed
ings, and that they will continue 10
postpone inllicting the sentence upon
Mr.. O'Connell and his friends for
very longtime. Meanwhile the Libcr-
ator maintains his old place in Parlia-
ment, battling with al his might in de-
fence of his countrymen, and thunder
ing away in opposition to the Irish
Governments new Registration Bill.
The motion for new trial, after hav-
ing been argued through the whole
term, has not been decided, and the
term is closed.
Oae Of the greatest fnancia. meas
ures of the session, perhaps of the age,
was introduced TO the House of Com
mons by Sir Rober, Peel on the 9th OF
May. This great scheme for improv-
ing the Banking System ofthe country

baton. lie proposes TO divide the
