BRlA.
% DAYS Lakr fran Engl'no.
This slaunch Steamer was leiesIaPneu ln's
(Tuesday) morning al a quarter 10 y cioch, anu
while she was vel some thirty mics uistant-
The a,mosnhere WAS So clear, hat her advent
was hailed long in advance. She arrived ather
wharf in East Boston, a few minutes pasl ~
O'Clock. The news is u some comlh"!clai IN
p%orlancc. We make or extracts ron winner

Ii is rumored that Inc Queen and Prince Albert
will, during the summer, pay a WISH win great
state 10 Louis Philippe al the Tuilleries.
The Rev. Sydney Smith, alter an illness OF
some weeks duration, expired al his residence IN
Green street, London, on saturday evening"
March 81. He was in his lath year.
MINISTERIAL DISNEns. Sir Robert Peel, Lord
Stanley, and other members oilhe Ministry, have
given several official dinners, at which Mr.. Ever
eli. the American envoy, had been present.
The Bank Of England, il is said, is about 10
reduce The rates of discount al their various
branch banks. During the past month The bull
lion in The Bank has increased from Gl4, 1887
10 GI5453 1903, an increase .t66j,1I6. In The
same period The circulation has decreased tSl9,-
4I6. The Funds exhihi, a quiel and steady APP
pearance. Mexican Stock, in consequence OF
the l.st adviccs, has improved a little.
Few things have given more satisfaction, says
Wilmer& Smiths Times, in commercial circles,
than the intelligence that came 10 hand by the
I last hacker. that The State OF Pennsylvania has
paid The interest of its debt for the current six
months. Il is devouily To be wished, for the
| credi, of America in Europe, that the payments
| for The time 10 come may he p%unctual. There is
one regret 10 mar the satistaclion-poor Sydney
Smith is dead. PITY that he was not permitted
10 see he restoration Of American credit and
character, which, il is thought, he was not ] li'lle
instrumental in bringing about. The remit.
! tances on The dividends have already come 10
hand.
Destruction or THE PORTLAND YAsR.-The
celebrated Portland Vase, one of The greatest at
traction in The British Museum, which always
commanded admiration for The beauty Of The
workmanship and the elegance of lis appearance;
was dashed 10 pieces on the morning OF the I'm
ult., b. a wretch named Lloyd, a native Of Cork,
and completely destroyed.
Parliament, our readers are aware, assembled
on the day that the last steamer sailed, viz: the
Ain Of February, bu; nothing Of striking interest
occurred until Sir Robert Peel brought forward
his financial expose for The curren. year, some
DAYS after. That statement is not usually laid
| before the House until April, bu, as the magni-
! tude ofihe interests affected bv the changes are
/ great, il vas brought forward at this early stage,
| 10 give The parties timely in'irnalion and warn
in.
In the House Of Lords, las, night. Earl Claren-
don put question 10 The Earl Uf Aberdeen re-
speeding the American Tariff, which, he said, was
not in accordance with existing treaties, and ope-
rated very prejudicially 10 British interests. The
Earl of Aberdeen replied, lha, the subject had en-
gagged the serious attention OF her Majesty's Min
islers, and respecting which, considerable cores
rondence had taken place between the Govern
10 say that our representations had been iavora-
bly received bv the Government Of The United
States.
Mr.. Roebuck, in the House of Commons last
night, asked Sir Robert Peel for full information
regarding The present state OF negotiations with
The United S a;es Government on the Oregon
| question, jus,iiying his question by the reccn;
proceedings in the American House OF lsepresen-
%iatlvcs. Sir Robert Peel, in reply, refused 10
give the Information required, stating tina, her
Majesty's minister's had not 10 deal with the Fl. OF
Representatives in The matter.
The financial expose OF the Premier has been
tile Cutel IODlC Ol COuESISutluu III CUluuleICldI
circles. The reduction Of the duties is consider.
ed generally unexceptionable, as far as they go
but The Premier would have required the disposal
cf another len million pounds per annum, al the
least. 10 have satisfied the claims Of all the appli-
Giants. The aggregate amount OF The reduction
| proposed is, however, beyond the previous ex-
p~ecla,ion Of even the most sansnine upon the sub
lect. The list of articles which il is proposed 10
Tree entirely from duly contains a numberoi COM
modities. which, when freed from duty, are likely
10 come into rather extensive Use in this country.
Cotton yarn, linen yarn, and thrown sill; are all
20 be admitted free OF duty and amongst other
things, We find 4 few rather important articles
from the United States, particularly slaves, llr-
| pentine, lard and lard oil. OF these the last will
be peculiarly acceptable, as it forms an excellent
substitute Tor sperm oil, and, owing 10 the ~iHcreas-
ed demand for The latter, and 10 the inability OF the
fisheries 10 supply il, the price has so risen as 10
make it very expensive 10 manufacturers. The
import of lard oil from the United States, where
il is now manufactured in great abundance, will,
no doubi, be extensive, as we'll as Of other COM
modilies named.
The business transactions of the last loTlnigh,
are favorable for the extension Of irade-iore,Yn
and domestic. The Cotton Market, in Liver
pool, is buoyan.. and every one prosnoslica;es

iurday were IL, 500 bags, yesterday 10000, and
this large demand has advanced Inc price o lsome
descriptions about an eighth, but the improve
mcnt is not general. Til" remission of the duty
will take place when the bill passes.
The accounts from tie manufacturing dis
uicts are encouraging. Goods. al steady rates,
are in request al Manchester; and although the
last advices from lniia weic less ~ilattering by the
last overland mail, The market has been but little
influenced BY them. In The neighborino districts
of Yorkshire, the woollcn markets are steady and
improving. Indeed. throughout the manufaclur.
iue parts Of this and The adjoining county, The
prospects Of trade continue as bright as The mos
ardent man of business can desire.
INDIA AND CHINA.
~ express from Marscilles, we have received
orr dispatches from India and China, By the mai
which left Calcutta on The 9Th Of January-the
frs, Of the series Tor bi-nunthly communicated
Lett Madras on the l3,h, Ccylon on The 18th,
and Alden on the 2Slh ut- There are no less than
ninety passengers. The mail was forwarded from
Alexandria by the Great Liverpool. 10 Malta, and
thence bv the Acheron TO Marseiiles. There is
no later news from Bombay by This mail.
The news BY this mail, iso more importance
and interest than the overland mail has brought
for some months. The Punjaub is again in com
motion. A revolution broke ont and Hecra
Singh, The Rajah, and Jeila Fundit, have been
killed.
A revelation had taken place also in Nepaul
Tie Rajah had promised 70 aldicale in favor q
his son. When the time came, he refused on
which The son, assisted BY some chiefs, deposed
him. The new Rejah is only IL years old, and
an idiot. The Government woull be compelled
10 interfere. The war, however, was expected 10
be one of diplomacy, rather than Of arms.
a letter from Macao, published in the Handc-
leblad, gives an account Of the OVERLOOKING OF II
veIs in the North of China, before which The Eu-
Korean inunda,ions that have been recorded du.

significance.
