The late news from Europe.-Its Character
and ImpOrtauce.

In consequence of the importance Of our Euro
pean ldvices, both in a commercial and political
point ofview, we give on the outside of to-day's
paper, further copious extracts from the European
journals, received at the Herald office These ex-
tracts will be found highly interesting and are
worthy of attentive perusal
The intelligence is important in three points OF
view -

end The controversy respecting the marriage of the
srd The aspect in which our quarrel with Mexico is
viewed In Europe, and especially in England.
The commercial intelligence is probably the
most important that has reached this country for
the last quarter of century. The Oregon qaes-
ton, which brought us to the verge of war with
England, was not by any means OF such moment
to the destinies of this country, as the reported
dearth of provisions that at present prevails
all over Europe. Nor is this importance con-
fined to the mere pecuniary advantages that
may, probably, accrue to our merchants,
from having all Europe as market where Anne
rican bread stuffs will be, for length of time, at
high premium. Its most important feature is the
fact which it involves that Europe is likely to be
dependent on this country for food. This is so.
Tenn consideration for European states men, and
cannot be without its effect on the future course
to this continent
The scarcity is most felt in Ireland, where there
exists the smallest chance for relief Let us
hope that the present government, which
has always boosted of its paterna af.
section for that country, will now prove the sim
cerity of its professions, and afford the people, not
aims, for that they do not want, but such employ
ment as will yield them means of subsistence

The English journals indignant with the
Mexicans for the want of unanimity that prevails
among them, whilst a powerful enemy
like the United States, threatens the integ-
rity OF the republic. They ridicule the idea Of
Admiral Seymour interfering with the American
squadron in the Pacific. They treat the report
that he lad orders to that effect, as AN idle rumor
The English press seems to think that Mexico
deserves to have thrashing, Tor her cowardce
and want of spirit.
The news by the Great Britain, although but
three days later, is nevertheless looked for with
anxiety. That vessel will probably arrive in the
course of the day.
