ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE.

The steamship HIBERNIA arrived at Boston on
Saturday, bringing one weeks later advices from
Europe. Her dates from Liverpool are of the 10th
ultimo, and from London of the 18TH We are in
debted to the Geographic dispatches Of the New
York Tribune and Journal of Commerce for the
fullest account of her news
Well-founded apprehensons of failure in the
American cotton crop has caused increased de-
mand for the staple in Liverpool, and prices have
accordingly advanced farthing per pound
Her Britannia Majesty's Government and the
people of Spain have manifested so much hostility
to the marriage of the Queen of SPANS sister to
Louis Philippe's youngest son, that the celebration
of the nuptials has been postponed for the present,
if not forever. The immediate consequence is
tremendous war of words between England, France,
and Spain. The remote consequence will probably
be the destruction of the entente cordae which has
SO long existed between the Courts of ST. James and
st. Cloud
The total failure of the potato crop appears to be
a sad reality. Every where in Ireland, and in the
greater part of the British Islands, the vegetable has
turned into putrid matter, which even the hogs will
not devour. From the continent of Europe nclud-
ing Russia, have dismal accounts of the progress
Of the blight. The use Of the potato, as article
Of food is now almost abandoned.
flour was selling at twenty shillings to thirty
shiIIings per barrel, duty paid at Liverpool. The
price in bond was twentv-seven shilings and SKI
pence.
Indian corn was quoted three shilings the quarter
higher and closed at forty shllings for yellow, and
forty-seven shillings for white.
The Bank of England has declared semi-annual
dividend of 81 per cent.
On the 9th ultmo the King of Sweden signed
an ordinance abollshng all games of chance at the
watering places of Ramloes, Scania, the only places
in Sweden where gambling allowed.
Accounts from Paris dated 18th September an
nounce that despatch had been received conveying
the intelligence that Don Carlos the Spanish pre-
tender, had made his escape and will probably pro-
coed Spain. In the affairs Of Spain, the escape
of Don Carlos from his Imprisonment is likely just
now to have important influence.
Foreign stock, particularly Mexican, Spanish, and
Portuguese, owing to the unsettled state of those
countries, has receded.
IRELAND.-The rupture amongst the Repeaers is
daily manifesting its consequences in Belfast. A
few days ago meeting called of pro-physi-
cal and moral force men, when the former achieved
decided triumph, and left the adherens of Mr..
| O'Connell in minority.
| SPAIN.-The rumor of Carlst rising in Catalo-
MIA turns out TO be not unfounded. Letters from
Barcelona, dated the 4th, assert that band of from
300 to 400 men, under the command of person Of
the name of Pielot, has made its appearance in the
plain of I.arranguna. Pielot was, during the civil
war, at the head Of division in the Carlis army,
and the commandment of Saragossa.
