ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA.
Itoelve Davs Later from Europe.

The steamer Britannia, Captain Hewitt, arrived ing, after passage of 15 days from Liverpool, which place she left or the 4th inst.
 r The Britannia had 73 passengers for Boston, and IS for Halifax. She also took in IS at Halifax for Boston. Among the passengers were the Hon. Edward Everett and family.
 ] The prospects of the harvest in England are more encouraging, the fine weather having ripen- ed the wheat and enabled the farmers to get in their crops in good condition,
 The Liverpool Cotton Market was ani mated, and an advance of l.sdp 10. in many instances, had taken place. -, G.,
 The news, taken out by the Cambria, of the warike attitude of Mexico towards the United States caused quite sensation, and the London and Paris journals were discussing the merits of the question, with considerable warmth, in, the absence of less interesting and important matters. The news had an immediate effect upon Govern- ment securities, at the London Stock Exchange, and they experienced decline of about, IA per cent.
 A serious affray had taken'p place at Madagascar between the Natives and the French and English ships, in consequence of an order from the Queen of Madagascar, that all the English and French, residing in her dominions, should, within eleven days become her subjects by having themselves registered and naturalized as Malagactes. A num- Der were killed and wounded on both sides.
 There has been an insurrection in Madrid among &he shopkeepers Ad merchants, arising out of a new tributary system The capital was full of troops, and several persons had been killed by them. At the last dates. Madrid was .eompara- lively quiet. t.~ D,. terial crisis. Ministers have been superseded by the formation of new cabine:s. In Germany and Prussia, the new religious movement continues to occupy the attention of the people. t1 The disturbances in Mount Lebanon are likely to be efectually put down through the influence of | the Five Powers. .-r I$ The Royal Mail Steamer Cambria has made an- other extraordinary short passage She arrived at Liverpool early in the morning, on the 2sth ult., and the news was known in Lcndon, in the after. noon of the same day. ,.. s..-..g ,4 ...,. /, < ] The Queen. Prince Albert and suite, were still l in Germany, and had passed several days in Co. burg, the birth place of Prince Albert. It was arranged that the Queen and Prince Albert were tc reach Atwerp on the 9th inst, and there embark on board the Royal Yacht, and proceed to Flush. I ing, when the Yacht would anchor for the night
 and on Sunday the 7tb, start for the Isle of Wight
 and dsembark there on the sth inst.
 The Cotton market-that great barometer o public feeling-has shown symptoms of improve ment. The fine weather has had material infu. ence in strengthening this feeling, and in dispel ling the melancholy forebodings aboutthe harvest
 that had taken possession of the public mind.-
 The sales up to the end of the week, exceeds 4s,
 GOO bags-a daily average of more than 5000. Ir
 the four days since, nearly 10000 have been sold
 and prices are very evidently getting up.

DEATH oF MINOR R. pEMINa.

The Quincy Qllinois) Herald contains the fol- lowing melancholy announcement: . To the editor of the Herald :-Sh:
 Please announce through the colums of your pa per, the death of Gen. MINOR R. DENYING, fOr- mer Sheriff of Hancock county. He died of con- gestive fever in Carthage, Sept. 10th, at half past 10 o'clock. During the latter part of his sickness he appeared entirely conscious that he could not live, and expressed perfect resignation and reliance on the Savior for.his future felicity. He left an aeetionate wife and three small sons to mourn his untimely loss Gen. Deming had many admirable traits of character, among them, were great 6rm- ness and unsurpassable moral and personal courage During residence ofsome eighNyears in Hancock, he had contracted numerous ardent friends, who depore the mighty breach made by his death in the ranks of the lovers of law and order in that mpoF- tant county.
 His remains were inferred in this place, by the side of brother who now rests here.
 A FRIEND.
 Gen. Deming was B years of age. He was a son of Stephen Deming. Esq, of this village, and when heresided here as highly esteemed for his intelligence, integrity and consistent piety He was to have been tried in October for the sad aray with Dr. Marshall, and would undoubtedly have been acquitted.

 IN. Y. AND ERIE RAnRoAD.-Over two mill- ions of dollars have been subscribed within the last few weeks by the citizens of New-York to the stock of the Erie Railroad, and no doubt seems to be entertained of the early completion of that most important public work. As soon as another mill ion shall be subscribed the road will be put under contract, and in two years can be completed from the Hudson River to Lake Erie. This road passes through the eleven southern counties of New-Yo and accommodates sectiorPof country greater in extent and equal in population to the whole of New England. No parallel road can be construc- ted for fifty or one hundred miles on either side of it, and at various points it will be intersected by branch roads from the middle counties of New York and the northern counties of Pennsylvania. The freight and travel which will come on to it will be immense-greater than that of any other road in the Union, and the stock could not fail to be profitable investment, even were it to receive the support only of those residing in northern ! Pennsylvania and southern New York; hut it must be the great thoroughfare between New.York and the Great West, and ultimately the eastern link and most profitable section of chain ot railroads extending on to the Mississippi and perhaps to the Rocky Mountains It connects at Clean, or some more important point below, with the Alleghany river. and in the spring ofthe year Ohio merchants will be able to procure goods through this channel of communication month or six weeks before the lake is open at Buffalo. The road terminates at Dunkrk, beautiful site, on capacious harbor, forty miles southwest of Buffalo. branch road will enable passengers to reach the lake at the lat ter place if they prefer.

MOST MELANCHOLY.

The following heart-rendng account is from the Middletown Sentinel
 "On "Wednesday last about noon, the oldest son of Mir. Isaac Roberts, residing at Longhil, prom ising lad few days over years old, was found dead in one of his lots about two hundred yards from his house. The particulars as we learn them are, that his little sister, about years old, came into the house and told Mrs. Roberts that her brother was bloody or bleeding Mrs. R. immedi- diately ran out, and az her little daughter was too young to tell exactly where he was, she called his name, but obtained no answer. Alter short search she found him lying on the ground in the lot where the horse was, and on again calling his name received no answer. She took him in her arms, run to the house, and from thence to the barn where hired man was at work, and sent him for Doctor, then carried the child back to the house, and commehced bathing his head In about half or three quarters of an hour Dr. Wood- ward arrived, and found that the boy was dead. and on examination discovered an extensive irac- lure ofthe skull on the side of the head, back of the right ear, two inches in length, and portion of the bone forced into the brain. This wound was such as might be, and propably was caused by the cork on a horses shoe. From blood being found on the horse foot, more particularly on his right fore foot and leg, it is supposed he must have struck him with his fore-foot The horse is very gentle one. and the little boy and his sister were in the habit of feeding him with apples Anese was ah dPPio uSS WHS.S tne noT wsS io"hu' which the horse was in the habit of picking ap- ples from by standingon his hind legs It is sup posed that the little fellow went 10 him, while the horse was thus engaged, and speaking to him, the horse suddenly put his fore feet to the ground, and knot seeing the boy. struck him on his head, causing death in short time v .'. ,Asingular circumstance connected with the in- jury as we are informed, was that one foot of the boy was much mangle,i, pieces of skin torn off as large as finger nail, m great number of places, without there being any blood on the foot, which | led to the supposition that it was done by the .ceth of the horse after the child was dead
 The name of the boy was Randolph Macon Rob- ers His father was absent at the time, but return ed on the morning of the funeral, to learn of the sudden and melancholy death of his only and be- loved son. The many relatives and friends of the deeply afflicted parents sincerely condole with them in their heavy bereavement.
