MARRIAGE BROKEN OFF, sc.
The steamship Tlibernia, Capt. Ryrie, arriv-
cd at Boston at an early hour on Saturday
morning She sailed from Liverpool on the
18th ut. We have received as yet but meagre
account Of the intelligence brought by her, in
consequence Of no mail arriving from the North
on Sundays. We annex two Geographic re-
ports:

I he intelligence is of the highest import
ance in a commercial point of view.

free.
! The London money market was very easy,
and it was supposed that the Bank of England
would make another reduction in the rate of
interest.
The wheat crop is a full average crop in
England
There appears to be some trouble between
France and England relative to the marrge of
the Queen Of Spain. 1t is said that the mar
rage has been broken off. 1t is thought this
will lead to serious rupture in the entiente
cordial.
The potatoe crop has turned out a complete
failure.
The markets in Liverpool were brisk; in
London dull.
The total failure of the potatoe crop appears
to be a sad reality. Every where in Ireland,
and in the greater part of the British Island,
the pota oe fields are shrouded with the dark
nantes Of the plague. The vegetable has turn
ed into putrid matter, which even hogs will
not devour. From the continent Of Europe,
including Russia, we have dismal accounts of
the progress of the blight. The future use of
the potatoe, as an article of food is now al
most abandoned.
The Bank of England declared a semi-an-
nua dividend of l-2 per cent.
/ The Gazette de Cologne says it has been an
nounced for some time past that measure will
shortly appear prohibiting the expectation Of
corn from the territory of France.
A number of tried friends of commercial free
dom entertained A. Brown, esq, a few days
at Warrington, England, in celebration of his
return as representative of South Lancashire,
and the triumph of free trade principles.
The epidemic at the Hague is on the in-
crease.
Foreign Stocks, particularly Mexican, Span
ish and Portuguese, owing TO the unsettled
state ofthose countries have receded.
The rupture among the Repealers in Ireland
is daily manifestng itself, and at meeting in
Belfast few days ago, the physical force party
obtained a decided triumph over the moral
force or O'Connell men.
Mr.. Polk proposals of peace to Mexico ex-
cited considerable comment in the Paris pa
pers. The Journal Des Debats, the Govern
ment organ, remarks that without doubt the
new aspect given to the policy Of the United
States towards Mexico must be ascrbed to of
fers of mediation made by England.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer, exua,l
BY the arrival Of the Hibernia at Boston, we

of the foreign intelligence, seven days later:

aud firm in Liverpool. Free, from 2S 70 81
shillings per quarter Moderate sales
Corn advanced SIS. Per quarter. Yellow, 46s;

THE BRIG HELEN McLEop-One Of her
Crew SaUed. We copy the following from the
New Orleans papers of the 26th cit. 1t will
be seen that John Valentine, one Of the crew,,of
the brig Helen Mcleod, Of this pert, has reach
ed that port:
The ship st. Mary Capt. Forrest, which
arrived at this port yesterday from New York,
picked up at sea, on the 18th inst, in lat 35
I6, Ion. 10 so, Capt. Shankln and crew of the

a gale and abandoned on the Sth ult. off Cape
Hatteras. Capt. Shauklin reports that on the

who stated that that vessel left the Capes of
Virginia on the 18th ult., with cargo of assert.
ed merchandise, bound to this port. On tho
following night, IN heavy gale, lost their sails
and sprung leak. On tke 18th, the brig was
half full of water, and at the same time was
near the hull Of the schooner Mary Anna
when Valentine jumped overheard and swan
to it. On the 18th the vessels still remained
near each other. A sail was seen in the west,
and the Helen Mcleod bore down towards
her. Shortly after violent storm of wind
and rain set in, and after the squall cleared
away, she could not be seen, and is supposed 10
