The steamship Acadia arrived at Boston on
Friday morning, in Ii l-e days from Liverpool,
bringing ~ passengers. She passed the Cam
bra, for Liverpool, on Wednesday night, OIL
Seal Island. The Acadia went ashore in the
fog on her arrival on the coast but fortunately
struck on soft bottom and got off without inju-
nv after several hours detention.
Our dates from Liverpool are to the 4th inst
London to the Sd, and Paris to the LIST. We
are indebted to Mossls. Adams s. Co.'S. express
for copy of Wilmer & Smiths European
Times, from which, with the aid OF our Boston
and New York contemporaries, we make up the
following summary:
Cotton, grain, flour and provisions are all
falling in value--the railway speculation has
subsioed-the excitement in relation to the
corn laws is increasing, and paralysng bust
letter in favor of total repeal of the corn
laws, and Lord Morpeth has become mem
Der of the league.
The CALEDONIA arrived out on the 10th ult
and the Great Western on the eth. The
packet ship Joshua Bates arrived at Liverpool
from New York in less than Is days.
The warlikc tone of American journals, re-
spectnc tho claims of the United States to the
whole Of The Oregon territory had aroused the
British press and Government. The former
had come out boldly, and declared that Great
Britain could not and must not, under any cir
cumstances, relinquish her rights in this terri
tory, while the latter in the shape OF Cabinet
Councils, had, instead Of opening the ports, as
was expected, for the admission OF foreign
grain, been very active, according to report, in
preparing for war. The greatest activity pre-
vailed at the dock yards, and immense war
like preparations were being made-such as
had not been known for many years.
The Presidents message Was looked for with
the greatest anxiety. 1t was argued that upon
the sentiments entertained in this document
depended the chances of war or peace between
Great Britain and the United States.
Our adyices from England are much more
nacific than we expected. A war fever on the
Oregon question followed the receipt of the ar
ticles in the Washington Union, claiming the
territory to 81 deg. 40 min. The fever was
soon alIayed by the publication, by the British
Government, of President Folks offer OF the
zsth parallel, and the English newspapers
have come to the conclusion that our pacific
relations will not be interrupted.
The French press is anxious for war be-
tween America and England, and some OF the
Paris papers have published irritating articles
on the Oregon dispute.
The great topic in Great Britain continued
to be the impending famine, occasloned by the
failure of the potato crop, the disease 81 Whlch
continues to progress in seine quarters, and
to be arrested in others. In England, especial
" in the South and West, it continues to pro-
Gress; and in the belief that something may
vet be done by ministers, the markets are in a
state of transition. There are frequent meet
ines of the ministerial councils, in which per-
nlexity and disunion continue to prevail. The
European Times of the 4th says
"Parliament has been prorogued until the
middle of December, and an impression PIE
walls that it will meet little, if any, before the
customary time. Alarmed by appearances, q
reousit,on has been signed by many of the
leading bankers and capitalists in the city o
London, urging upon the Lord Mayor the ne
cessty of calling without delay public meet
inn; but the civic monarch hesltates. Matters

Commercial. The cotton market was still
further depressed. Wilmer & Smith says
