Naval Preparations.


The utmost activity prevails at the different
naval stations, to organize this arm ofthe national
Defence SO as to render it effective possible,
in our present hostilities with Mexico. The
line of battle ship Ohio at Boston, is to be fully
equipped for immediate active service. Tho
squadron in the Pacific is to undergo a more
efficient organization; also the Gulf squadron, to
be in readiness, with the view to attack the cello.
brated fortress Of st. Juan d'Uloa, which has
hitherto been deemed almost impregnable.
The resolute prosecution of the war will
soon bring the Mexcans to terms. We
rejoice to perceive that the Government have
aroused to a thorough sense Of what is due to the
national honor, by going in earnest to work.
Our navy has been neglected good deal, of late
years, though possessing us gallant spirits Us in
its palmiest days.
In our revolutionary struggle, and subsequent
wars, it has won imperishable laurels, and it is
due to that gallant force to give it an opportunity
of sharing in the glory already won in our strug-
gle with Mexico. We feel deep confidence in
the successful operations of our navy, in any de-
monstraton made upon the celebrated fortress
opposite Vera Cruz

THE NEWS FROM EUROPE.
ADVANCE IN PRICES FOR AMERICAN
PRODUCE.
THE WRECK OF THE GREAT BRITAIN.

The arrival of the steamship Caledonia at Bos-
ton, from Liverpool, has placed us in possession
of fifteen days later intelligence from all parts OF
Europe and news of the fate OF the steamship
Great Britain.
In political point OF view, the news is not of
much importance. The marriage question of
Spain has been arranged as first contemplated,
Notwithstanding the protest Of the British Minis
ter. Commercially, the accounts are highly in
teresting and exceedingly important. Prices for
American produce have advanced, particularly
those fors flour. Tho sales of cotton were i'm
mense, having reached in ono week nearly seven
ty-five thousand bales. The sales were large
on speculation and the greatest anxiety pre-
vailed in Liverpool, when TIE Caledonia left for
further accounts from this side in relation to tho
extent of the growing crop.
In previous short crop years, the reports which
have gone out from this country, early in the sea-
son, have been SO exaggerated, that operators in
foreign markets are rather timid, and do not feel
disposed to 60 into the business ext nsively as
they probably will when further and more def
mite accounts are received from this side. The
advices that went out by the steamer, which lef,
Boston on the LIST instant in relation to the cotton
crop, were of a character calculated to create a
very great excitement in the markets Of Great
Britain. We shall receive by the next steamer
from Liverpool the effects of these advces, and il
is our impression that an advance equal to any
yet realized will be reported upon her arrival.
The crops of Europe are reported very deficient.
and although it is the impression in Great Britain
that the potato harvest will not prove so disas-
trous as first anticipated, there is no doubt but
that the deficiency will be to an extent sufHcien,
to create a very great advance in prices for all
kinds of breadstuffs.
On the whole the news is highly favorable, and
cannot but increase the prosperity of the princi-
pal interests Of this country. The public mind
has been quoted, by the announcement of the
fate of the steamship Great Britain, and the fears
of those having friends and relatives on board,rs
moved.
The excitement was so intense last evening that
we issued an extra at late hour which was ra.
pidly spread through the city by the thousands.
The full details of the news will be found on
the outside of this mornings paper.
