ARRIVAL OF STEAMER HIBERNIA.
EVE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
France md Spain at a war of Words-Cot-
tom up a farthing-Corn adUancing-
Potato Crop nearly a total failure.
BY the mail steamer Hibernia. Capt Ryrie.
which arrived at Bnstun IN Saturday last. from
Liverpool. making the passage in thirteen days
and eighteen hours. advices have been received
from Liverpnol to the 18Th September. London
18Th. Paris 10Th. Dublin l7th, end Havre l7th.
a condensed summary of which has been forward
ed us by telegraph.
Well founded apprehensions of a failure in the
American cotton crop have caused an increased
demand for the staple in Liverpool, and prices
have accordingly advanced a farthing.
Her Britannia Msjpsty's government, and the
people OF Spain have manifested so much HOSTILE
'y to the marriage of the Queen Of Spain's sister
Ia Louis Phillippe's youngest sun, that the cole'
brati"n OF the nnptials has been postponed for the
present. IL M, forever.
The immediate consequence is a tremendous
war of words between England. France and Spain.
The remote consequences will probably be the
destruction of the entente cordiaie. which has so
long existed between the courts uf ST.. James and
81. Cloud. Ii is hoped that the sudden extin.
punishment ot the fires on the affairs of the y"ung
hearts. will not prove the means of exciting a
general confiagration among the crowned heads
ana kingdoms ct Europe.
The to,al failure Of the po,ato crop appears 10
he a sad reality. Every where in Ireland, and in
the greater part of the British Island. the potato
fields ale shruuded with the dark nantes of the
plague. The vegetable has turned into pu,rid
matter, which even the hogs will not devour.-
From the continent of Europe, including Russia,
we have dismal accounts of the progress of he
blight. The future use of the potato, as an arii-
Gle of food, is now almost abandoned.

The price in bond. was twenty seven shillings and
six pence.
Indian Corn was quoted three shillings the
quarter higher; and closed a, forty shiilings for
yellow, and forty seven for white.
The Bank of England have declared a semi
annual dividend. 81 per cent.
The Gazette de Cologne say it has been an
nounced for some lime that a measure will shortly
appear prohibiting The exploration Of corn from
the territory of France.
In the affairs Of Spain the escape of Don Carlos
from his imprisonment is likely jus, now TO have
important influence.
Accounts from Paris, dated 18th September,
announce that a despatch had been received con
veying The intelligence that Don Carlus, the Span
ish pretender, had made his escape and will prob
ably proceed 10 Spain.
F"reign stock, particularly Mexican, Spanish
and Portuguese. owing to the unsettled state of
those countries, has receded.
Commercial .4fairs.-The advices per the
Caledonia arrived at Liverp""l on the evening of
he 18th Sept, and were delivered early on The
following morning.
No sooner had the contents become known than
the Cotton Market underwent a great change
Specnlalors commenced 10 operate to an unusual
degree.
The trade dreading the realization Of the unla.
vnrable conjectures respecting the forthcoming
cops. which the letters and newspaper accounts
from the United States had ventured 10 send forth,
were induced 10 add to their stocks.
The English markets for foreign and colonial
produce have ~lat'eriy assumed q more nina ted
and healthy appearance.
The Liverpool cotton market, from day to day,
since the l4lh, has continued active and spirited.
and sales of the six days may be stated about
45.OGO bales, advance of I'D per ID. Prices of
American descriptions being fully maintained, the
market for other descriptions has experienced a
rise.
Holders have been enabled to obtain former
rates. but lower descriptions, which are plentiful,
have reCeded in value.
The sales of Cot n in Liverpool on the 18th
September were normou amounting TO no less
Than $4,000 bales. of which Spectators took 10,
CJU American. For all descriptions of American

AT Liverpool, foreign and colonial produce sells

has been done, and as holders refrain from press
ing the market, prices, if not absolutely hlpher,
may be said To be fTmer. The healthy state of
trade, and full employment of the working classes.
a!e amongst the causes which have led 10 this
result.
IRELAND.
The rupture amongst the Repealers is daily
manifesting lis consequences in Belfast.
A day or two back a meeting was called of
prophysIcal and moral force men, when the for.

herenIs of Mr.. O'Cunnell in a minority.
