Eigtt Davs LaisT irom Europe.
The Steamer Great Western, Capt. Mathews,
from Liverpool, arrived al her berth in the East
River, about 10 o'clock Saturday evening.
b. this arrival, we have our usual files OF pa
pcrs from London up TO and including the Iih
inst. Liverpool papers OF the l2th Paris dates OF
the 9th, and Dublin and IIavrc dates oithc 10th.
The Western brings l39 passengers She has
had favorable wealher-madc the passage in
fourteen days and thirteen hours.
The Cotton markelhas been toerably quiet; il
is, nevertheless, steady, and spectators have
been doing little The market is freely sup
piled, and it will be seen, BY turning 10 our re-
port that the committee of brokers declare the
prices this week for fair Gotten TO beloved
AID Mobile 4id, and Orleans 45d As regards
the future attention is almost exclusively fixed
on the new crop.
The wheat markets Of London and Liverpool
are inactive. BY the average returns OF the
Kingdom, made up to Thursday the duties re-
main unaltered. Previous rates have been re-
luctantly paid.
The cheese which came to hand BY the Great
Western was in excellent order and sold readily
at the quotations. Indeed, growing is the
feeling in favor of American provisions general
", that ii promises to become one OF the most thri-
wing trades between the two countries.
The vessels now sailing Tor America take but
few goods. Shipments being few, lreghs are
consequently low.
In American bonds there has been hut little
doing, and they remain unaltered in value.
Mpucv has been in increased demand-first
rate bTlS are two and d half 10 two and three
quarters. and others three to FIVE per cent.
Pending the visit Of the "Ciizen King" TO his
ROYAL sister OF England, news has arrived from

The affairs of Tahiti are reduced 10 their rela-
tive Importance they have not ceased TO excite re-
greet, but they do not awake any fears OF war
like character.
Some OF the London Clubs have adopted it is
said, al the suggestion of the Rev. Sydney Smith,
the plan of rejecting, for complimentary admis-
sion or as members, the citizens OF the repudialing
States in America.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
present nothing striking. Business is certainly
not worse. In Manchester rather more activity
prevailed on The last market day, and prices
were looking up. Not the least cheering feature
is the revenue return for the quarter ending on
Thursday, which is Of the most gratifying cha
racicr
|, is consofatory to find that the Post Office,
the great accumulation of pennies has advanced
$4,000 en- the year, andno less than fiOO0J on
the quarter.
The vessel having on board the Roman Ca
,holic Bishop, the Nuns and others, which sailed
some time ago from Brest Tor the Sandwich
Islands, had no, arrived at tie date OF the last &C
counts. RumorS prevailed in the South Seas that
she had fouudered off Cape Horn.

The arrival in England Of Louis Philippe and
his Minister NJ. Guizo on visit to Queen Vic
toria, is the primary attraction Of the week. The
reception which the French monarch expert
enced ii landing was hearty and teryeni; and
from The time Of his setting foot on British SOIL
until he found himself in the royal apartments of
Windsor Castle, his progress resembled an ova-
ton.
Whether the visit will add to the popularity OF
Louis Philippe amongst his own subjects is ques-
tionable; but no doub, exists tina, i, will increase
