EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.

EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
We were enabled TO give i'll our last paper only
a meager sketch-the mere heads il were-of
the European intelligence that reached Boston on
Wednesday by the Atlantic steamer which sailed
from Liverpool on the 10Th of last month But
the mails of Saturday having put us in possession
of more ample accounts contained in the Liverpool
and Northern papers, we now present the annexed
compend, copied mainly from the New York Cou-
rier and Enquirer, which appears TO us to embrace
every thing Of general interest.
DIPLOMATIC
According to London letter of the 18th ultimo
the United States was strongly represented in the
House Of Lords at the time OF the prorogation. In
the diplomatic tribune, | observed Mr.. McLANE,
Mr.. EVERETT, (the past and present tense OF our

Al
took place on Thursday, the 18th August, will pro-
badly be, in its results, of more Importance than
any similar event which has occurred for long
time. The defeat of the veteran Colonel THOMPSON,
politician of ultra-liberal principles, and of more
than ordinary talent, and who backed by the
entire force and influence of the anti-corn-law league,
Messrs. CoBDEN, BRIGHT and other leaders of the
party being on the spot, will be Blow upon
the League, and matter for much discussion, and
probably action in political parties.
Mr.. THOMPSON was opposed in his election by
Mr.. HUDSON, who has acquired the soubriquet Of
the Railway King" in consequence of six hun
dred miles OF iron roads that owe him more less
OF fealty. Mr.. H. was elected by majority ofon
hundred and thirty out of aggregate poll of eleven
hundred. Not the least noticeable feature of this
election is, that it took place during most incemen
