THE EvERGREEN.-1'his is a new boat which
has just made her first trip down the Cape Fear.
She takes her station in the Henrietta steam boat
line. This line now consists of three steamers.
The steamer Evergreen is built chiefly of juniper,
is 1913 feet long, % feet wide, feet S inches
deep, and draws, with wood and water on board,
IL inches, and is the ugliest boat we ever saw. -
She was modelled and built in Fayetteville She
has double engine of so Or 10 horse power. Ug-
ly as she is, she will answer an admirable purpose
when the river is low, which is often the case in
the summer.

FOREIGN NEWS.

Four days later from Europe-the corn aU
agitotion-efect Of american necs an Eu-
rope-the panic an Ireland, 9c. 5c.
The packet slip Toronto, arrived at New
FORK, on Wednesday morning, the 4th inst,
and brings news from Liverpool to the 9th,
and from London TO the 18th nit, being four
days later than that received by the Cambria.
The news is of very favorable and inter-
esting character. Cotton was finn.
The corn markets were somewhat active
and firm.
The war in India has again broken out, and
the annexation Of Punjaub is probably con-
summated. If not, it will be. This Anglo
Indian intention has been for some time ma
turing.
There was great excitement and panic in
Ireland relative to the new commercial poll
cy. 1t is probably raised for an effect on Par
lament.
The London Money Market was easier.
No further political action has been taken
in Parliament on the Oregon question. The
news in England of the postponement of the
debate on this question in our Senate to the
10th February last, had favorable effect up
on the peaceful relations between the two
countries. 1t has tranquIized the public mind
in England, and was considered as a good
omen and guaranty of peaceful disposition
in that department Of our Government. The
position taken by Mr.. Calhoun is highly COM
mended in England. He is there viewed as
statesman of sagacity, integrity, and firm
ness. Petitions are pouring into Parliament,
signed by hundreds Of thousands, praying for
total repeal of duties upon all articles of
food. This may cause reduction of duties
beyond the point proposed by Sir Robert Peel.
