ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP ACADIA

FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
The Long Island train last night brought us
intelligence Of the arrival at Boston of the steam
ship Acadia, Capt Harrison, with dates of the
4th inst. from Liverpool
The Great Western, from New York, arrived
at Liverpool on the 9th ult.
The packet ship Joshua Bates, arrived at Liv-
erpool in less than fifteen days, the shortest pas
sage on record, says the European Times, for a
ship under canvass
The Caledonia, from Boston, Nov. 10th, ar
rived at Liverpool in IL days.
Accounts from New Zealand, by the way of
India, tell of another defeat Of the English by
the natives. One fourth of the British soldiers
(not exceeding 500 in the whole) were either
killed or wounded.
M. Dumont, the Minister of Public Works,
accompanied by M. Guizot, laid the first stone Of
the new hotel of the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
at Paris, on the 29th November.
The accounts from Constantinople of the 18th
inst mention that the British Ambassador had a
lpng conference with the Minister for Foreign
affairs relative to the Turko- Persian question,
and that the difficulties which hitherto retarded
the adjustment of the differences had been settled
at that interview
The British Ministry had been holding mys-
terious Cabinet Councils, which have attracted
public attention. AS no result has transpired,

The pedigree of human laws runs par

composed an interesting part of the litera-
ture OF every nation. Every age has made
a correspondent Improvement in that most
important and useful science of making
rules for the government of the people; and
every nation has become distinguished, in
some degree, by the peculiarities in its own
codes, as well in their adaptation as in their
construction. Human society now com

Messrs .Editorsy-As the merry season of
Christmas and New Year is approaching,
thought it would be an appropriate time to
call the attention of a portion Of our fellow
citizens TO practice which has been re-
Gently introduced here, in imitation, sup
pose, of the Gothamitcs, mean Christmas
and New Year calls. For the information
Of this portion Of our fellow-citizens, and
with all respect, would inform them that
large portion Of the most fashionable and
genteeI Of the New Workers have dispensed
with the use of all Intoxicating drinks on
those occasions. They consider that it is
not becoming, in Christian and enlight-
ened community, to turn their parlors into
grog-shops, and their wiues and daughters
into mixers and dispensers of the drmakard's
drink; or, in other words, into bar-tenders.
We temperance people think that if our
friends who act differently from us were to
view the practice as we do, much evil
would be prevented. But some will ask,
