LATE FROM EUROPE.

: LATE FROM EUROPE.
| By the Atlantic steamer CALEDONIA. which arriv-
ed at Boston on Thursday, we have accounts from
London and Liverpool to the 9TH instant.
/ The money market was in healthy state, and
good paper readily discounted at from ID to 81 per
cent but the cotton market had become languid,
and prices had declined.
On the subject OF the relations between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain the European Times
of the 18th instant has the following
1.-The arrival of the Hbernia,' On Saturday,
put at rest the uneasiness which has prevailed some
T. time past relative to relations with America
/. All apprehension Of hostile collision arising out
of tile Oregon question has disappeared; and this
feeling has been mainly produced by the tone of
what in England is regarded the official organ
l. of Mr.. Folks Government, combined with, the
improved tone which characterzes the American
i press generally. This friendly feeling is most
cordially recprocated in England, not only by
men Of business, but by all classes in the country
+ The funds rose on the receipt OF the Hlbernia's
arrival one per cent, and considerable buoyancy
I prevailed in almost every department of the public
securities contingent upon the same cause. But
if the steamers intelligence has had this crafty
ing effect upon the money market, it has been
otherwise with regard TO the great article Of cot
ton, the market for which has exhibited good
|. deal of depression, and giving way i'll price.
Since Friday the reduction has amounted to fully
an eighth and yesterday was one of the most
dull and quiet days which has been experienced
for long time. The result is, Of course, mainly
attributable to the large produce of the new crop,
| and to the absence OF all danger regards the
| pacific relations of the two countries"
| The same paper speaks follows of the Crops
and of the American Provision market:
"The protracted winter, and the cold unseason-
| able sprng-one of the most cheerless and unsea-
sonabe in the memory Of that ubiquitous person
age, the Oldest inhabitant,' has caused the corn
i trade to look up in consequence of the mercury
/. looking down. From the country the most un-
favorable reports arrive: the low range OF tempe

already sioutly advanced that the present years
grain crops will not half equal those of the last
In some districts the advance in corn has been as
much 2s. to 3s. per quarter in others not quite
SO much, but in all improvement has taken place.
bad harvest, or even the prospect of 1T, is most
i disheartenng. The amount Of human misery
|. which it produces is incalcuable; it disorganizes
all the operations of trade, and there is not man
in business out of it, who does not, in purse or
person-in meal or in malt-experience the con-
l. sequences of the calamity. We hope for the best
and believe that there is yet sufficient time for

| 1.-THE American Provision market continues in
healthy state. The demand is fully equal 20 tho
import, and every day increases the popularity o
/ the provisions from the Western World. Bee
has advanced in price, but buyers seem unwilling
to pay the increased rates. The price of American
|. clashes with the price of Irish pork, which ha
interfered to some extent with the demand. Fo
cheese there has been much inquiry, the price o
hat f pt.f
ter, however, is declining in value, while lard, or
the contrary, is improving"

/ JUNCTION OF THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.
The following extract from the Liverpool Times
is strikingly confrmatory Of the views which were
expressed in this paper only few days ago upon
the subject of which il treats:
