TEN DAYS LATER FROM
EUROPE.


was ,elegraphed on Tuesday morning at
/ a before o'clock, about 80 miles out,
and arrived at her berth about l-2 past
| o'clock at Boston.
The Caledonia left Liverpool on the
4th, and has consequently made her
passage in fourteen days. She brings
London dates to the Sd inst and Liver
pool to the 4lh.
There appears to be very little Of the
least interest or Importance by this ar
rival. One side ot Wilmer s. Smiths
Times is occupied with Prince Alben's
visi, to Liverpool, to lay lac foundation
of Sailors Home, to the exclusion Of
almost every thing else.
Parliament seems TO have done little
business. Two nights had been occu-
pied with a discussion Of the sugar Du-
ties. The Government scheme has ,ri-
umphed by majority of 265 to 1876,
nearly two to one. This result virtually
abrogates the monopoly, and places su-
gar in the same category as corn, Sir
Robert Peel gave the Minister'S meas
urc a generous support, land the greatness
of the majority may be traced to that cir
cumslance. OF course, all fears of an
immediate dissolution Of the Ministry are
at end.
IRELAND.
The Reports have well nigh come 10
blows. Conc ilation Hall has belied its
bap'ismal soubriquet it has been the
scene OF angry recrmination and per-
sonal malevolence between O'Connell
and the O'Bricu section of the Repeal
ers. The row extended over two or
three days, and terminated in the With
drawal of MIR. Smith O'Brien.

H Another attempt has been made on the
life of King Louis Philippe. One on the
29thJuIy ,as his May appeared rs usual
on the balcony Of the principal window
of the palace Of the Tullcries, to listen
to the concert which was given by the
bands of the National Guard, as part Of
the customary rejoicings in CONNIE mora
ton of tho revolution of July. Tho
King was accompanied by the Queen,
the Princess his sons, and other men,
bers Of the Royal Family. He was
warmly received by the crowd assembled,
and acknowledged their greeting with
his usual warmth. No sooner had he
seated himself, und given the signal for
the concert TO commence, than a person
in the crowd drew forth pistol and fred
two shots at the King. BY n providential
dispensation neither touched his Maj
esty. Nor was any person near to him
a, all injured. The King himself pointed
out the assassin, who was imme diately
arrested and lodged in safe custody.
/ This makes the serenih attempt at as
sassina,ion from which Louis Philippe
has escaped.
Il The newspapers do not appear 10 be
in very good humor with the alterations
in the American tariff, us they say they
afford at best only miserahly small ad-
vaniages to French commerce, whilst
some of the changes will positively be
more injurious To It than The existing ta-

H Mr.. Wheaton, the United States am
| bassadnr at Berlin, has been received
with marked favor by the King aud urls-
tocracy.
