EIGHT DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE
The steamship Caledonia, Capt. T. G. Lott, was
telegraphed on Monday morning off Boston, and ar
rived at o'clock at her wharf, amid dense fog and
u drzzing rain.
BY her we have Liverpool and London papers to
the day Of sailing -Sunday, Oct. 10.
We are indebted TO Adams & Co., Harnden& Co.,
and 10 Wilmer q Smith, of Liverpool, for the latest
news, delivered at the earliest moment.
We have also to acknowledge the kindness OF
Halliburton Il Co., in supplying us with papers oil
the latest date.
The Caledonia brought lo7 passengers from Liv-
erpool TO Boston. She had from Liverpool to
Halifax, and IL from Halifax here.
The carpenter Of the Caledonia was drowned on
the 18th in the river Mcrsey.
The Caledonia passed the Hibcrnia Sunday at
noon, out 90 hours, 20 miles west Of Seal Island,
go miles from Boston.
The Britannia, Capt. Hewitt, arrived out OH the
18th, in 10 days from Boston.
The steamer Unicorn is sold, to run between
Halifax and ST. Johns, Newfoundland
The cotton market is depressed; the business
transacted is limited; prices have q downward ten
dency; and holders, evidently not at ease, show a
desire accept the current rntes and press their
stocks The sales of the week ending on Friday,
October II, only amounted to 10000 bales; and
limited as this business 10, il was even more re-
stricied on the I8th--for not more than 500 10
1900 bags changed hands. A thousand causes
may be adduced 10 account for the present stagna.
ton. Foremost is the railway madness. Itswal-
lows up all classes and shades in its vortex.
The state of trade in the manufacturing districts
does not certainly give indication of the existing
feeling in the cotton market. The yarn market is
especially dull Large quantities had been purchased
for expectation to Germany. The market for
goods in Manchester and the neighborhood is also
less active, and prices have receded litte-they
are 'easier," in the parlancc OF the trade. The
wooen trade in the Yorkshire districts has also d.
minished somewhat in activity, but still maintains
healthy appearance.
The American provision trade fourishes The
stock Of beef pork, and cheese, is light; and the
state Of things in Ireland win have tendency no,
only to improve prices but to lessen competition.
The price Of corn Is rising rapidly. The weather
has been wretched, and large patches Of uncut grain
exposed to the elements in the north Of England
and in Scotland. Damp corn enhances the price Of
fine wheat, and those who hold the latter calculate
on farther rise. The money market shows symp-
toms Of wavering; consols have declined one pei
cent, and the value Of money is higher. The iron
trade is brisk, and prices advancing. The produce

firm, with slight advances in some articles.
In the share market, says Wilmer 4 Smith, the
work of speculation goes bravely on. The world
has never witnessed anything so reckless and bare
faced as the system Of swindling and rogucry on
the one hand, and the imbecile gullibili,y on the
other, that stare one in tho face at every turn

MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN PEEL AND VEL
LINGTON.
The following is from the Dublin Evening Post:
report, We have reason to know is prevalent,
in what the London Morning Post would call "ihe
superior Enthusiastically amongst persons who
value themselves on their superior sourccs"-to
the effect that apparently irreconcable differences
opinion have sprung up between the leader of the
House Of Lords and the leader of the House Of
Commons; in short, Wellington and Peel cannot
much longer stable their horses together. We beg
the reader to be assured that we do not make this
statement in the temper Of Fictitious journalist or
with any predsposition whatever against these emf
ncnt persons Ina word, do not put il forth with
an orange coloring--though we admit our authority
is what they vulgarly describe as singh conserva-
tive"
The causes Of tho disagreement are said 10 be
yarious--,nore than one, assured, certainly.
The chef-how, indeed, could il be otherwisci-is
the state of Ireland, and the policy to be adopted in
regard TO this country Sir Robert Peel, it is said
has shown decided aversion to coercive measures,
calculated to exasperatc the wound rather than
heal it. The Duke Of Wellington would cut the
Gordan knot, if necessary, with the sword.
Again, il has been reported that the Duke of Wei
lington is memorable the corn-aws--whilc Sir
Robert Peel yielding to the pressure, would relax,
if not repeal them altogether
There arc other differences mentioned, but it is
needless TO repeat more dts or conjectures. That
there 10 serious split, we are confidently told so
serious, that the noble duke and the right honorable
gentleman severally rendered their designations into
the hands Of her Majesty.

to accept them--at least for the present Every

after 'sthe collective wisdom" assemblies, which Of
the two, whether either, shall resign. Questions
must Immediately arise TO make this difference iii
such there beg manifest.
II is idle to speculate. Nevertheless, we would
say, that Peel, with all his apparent suayity, will
not YIELD and that the iron duke, with all his abrupt
ress Of temper and obslinacy of opinion, viii be
subdued.
1t is not stated what part the other ministers
have taken in the dispute. It il easy enough how
ever, to divine The ministers in the House OF
Commons, 10 man, are with their master; and,

MR.. oCoNNELL ON SLAVERY, AMERICA. AND
REPEAL.
AT the regular meeting of the Repeal Association
September 29th, Daniel O'Connell made very able
speech, from which we make nm extract, in reply
charges brought against him for his course towards
this country: ~
II is said that we are csscning our cause by refu.
sing the sympathy Of foreign nations. It is quite
true that have refused French sympathy, because
their offer Of sympathy was accompanied by dec
laration of opinions in which we did not concur.
II quite true, that from many parts of America
refused sympathy, because the evidence of the sym
pathy was accompanied by principles that we could
not adopt Wecoud take no sympathy and no as
sisance inconsistent with our allegiance 10 the sovc-
reign, and unworthy Of our duty to our native land
have been assaicd for attacking the American in
stituton, as it is caled--negro slavery. I am moi
ashamed of that attack do not shrink from n
