ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA,
FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM
EUROPE.


The Steamship Caledonia arrived at Bos-
ton on Sunday morning at o'clock. from
Liverpool 10Th ult.
The most. and indeed the only interesting
and important intelligence, is the state Of
the markets.
The Cotton market has been steady, and a
fair amount Of business transacted,
The crops looked most promising and lux
uriant, and genial weather pervaded the
whole of Western Europe. In respect to
the English markets, Wilmer g. Smiths
Times says: .
The Corn markets throughout the United
Kingdom have been in very fluctuating po.
slton since the 4th inst. Comparing our
quotations of grain and grain produce TO day
with those given on the Sd inst, we find that

per ar. The demand for Indian Corn Meal
has completely subsided, and yesterday il
was not possible to effect sales at 23s per
barrel.
The weather here is everything that could
be desired. Copious and refreshing rains,
with pleasant sunshine, arc giving TO the
growing crops a rich and interesting appear
ance-iull Of promise that we shall be blessed
with a timely and abundant harvest. Re-
specting the potato disease, of which so much
IS being written. we do hot believe that it
exists to anything like the extent put forth
by some "interested croakers." That it has
became visible in some parts Of the country,
we do not deny; but our opinion is that it's
appearance is only partial.
| Letters from Naples, where the potato dis.
ease was so bad last year, speak in the high.
est terms Of the appearance of the crop now;
and similar accounts have reached us from
Holland. Belgium, and the north OF France.
All descriptions Of cured Provisions are in
moderate demand, and prices pretty well sus-
tained. Bacon of good cure has dvanced

The Britannia arrived out on the 18th, in

Washington on the 18th in IA days. The
latter was short Of coal and lost l2 hours on
the passage in repairing defects. She ex.
cited much curiosity and left Southampton
for Bremen on the 10th.

The New York Herald issued on extra on
Thursday morning, with the following sketch
of later advices received at New Orleans:
The schooner Iona, Capt Stevens, arrived
on the 29lh ult., from Vera Cruz, and in O
few hours afterward the steamship New Or.
leans came in.
The latter left Vera Cruz on the 25th ult.,
and brings letters of that date, and papers Of
the Oath.
The advices from the army Of Gen. Scott,
at Puebla, are to the 18th ult.
The immediate advance Of our army upon
the city OF Mexico has been postponed until
| the arrival Of reinforcements.
A rumor reached Vera Cruz on the night
of the Oath tha, Gen. Cadwalader's command
had fallen in withoa guerilla party, fe
miles beyond JaMpa, and by movement un-
perceived by the guerilleros, succeeded in
surprising them, and killing about thirty OF
them, without losing man.
BY q letter dated the 9th ult. we learn
that the train which went up under the COM
mand OF General Pillow was attacked at
Caera, said to be nine miles below Puente
Naciona. The guerilleras were dispensed,
with the loss OF thirty men. The Americans
are said to have had some eight or ten
wounded, but none killed
The letters from Mr.. Kendall come down
to the 18th, and are long and interesting -
The prospect appears to be that a stronger
resistance is TO be made TO our advance than
has lately been anticipated.
An immense force has been concentrated
and the Mexcans have seventy pieces ol
cannon-some accounts say ninety.

arrived from Pueba. By it information has
been received that Gen. Scott has taken up
his line of march from Puebla to Mexico
That on the 18th inst, the sick and wounded
were removed from Jalnpa for Puebla and
that Gen. Shields was to march forward the
next day, together with Col. Childs, and who
had been conmandant of the town and the
whole garrison.
Gen. Shields left here yesterday in com.
mand Of about thousand troops-as fine q

Tour OF THE PREsIDENT.-lp a pre-
vious number and N preceding column
we have given all the particulars wor,ls
recording respecting Mr.. Folks northern
and eastern tour. Having returned from
Maine to Boston Oh Monday, he left in
a special train for Fall River late in the
afternoon after the regular train had start
ed. Arriving at Fall River, he was me,
by deputation and escorted with music
&c. through the town to the Bay State
Speeches were made of course. The boat
was detained something like an hour to
accommodate Mr.. Polk and suite.
At Top. m. the boat reached the Long
Wharf in this place. On approaching
the wharf, salute from the brass field
pieces of the Artillery Company was fired
under the direction Of Col. Weeden.-
The boat stopped at the wharf about half
an hour, and MIR. Polk was sigreeted by as
many ofhis friends as the time would per-
nit Of After the Artillery salute was
over, a salute from the Revenue Cutter
Jackson, Capt. Walden, was fired, and
as the boat passed the Forts another salute
from Fort Adams was given. The whole
affair passed off extremely well--,he firing
being interspersed with a brilliant exhibi-
ton of fire works from the Cutter and
Steamer.
BY the New York papers of Tuesday
evening, we perceive Mr.. Polk on his ar
rival at that city, was Immediately trans
ferred to one of the Philadelphia boats,

The PRoPosED TREATY WITH Mex

indemnity for past injuries, and for the
war itself, together with due security for
the future peace and good neig Irborhood
Of the two countries" Ii also says,
"there is no reason to suppose that any
treaty Of peace which will be made. will
undertake, in the slightes, degree to in
terlere with the internal policy of Mex

COMPLIMENT TO MASSACHUSETTS The
Louisville Examiner pays the following com
pliment to Massachusetts,.
"Massachusetts, o report Of whose fnan
cial condition lies before US, is certainly the
model State of this Union. She is before
all others in the universally of education
and the power OF disciplined, well directed,
and intelligent moral energy. She is une.
qualed in modern days, considering her few
natural resources, in the might OF her phys.
cal strength and inventive genius, the gen.
cral comfort and independence of her people,
and her self-made pecuniary ability. What
is there, indeed, for which Massachusetts is
not remarkable? Her soil is lined with rail
roads. Her ships dot every sea. There is
no State that does not feel the spring Of her
commercial activity, no cline that does not
know her enterprise. While she compeies
with Great Britain in manufactures at Cal.
cutta, she buys and rcbulds a railroad in
Michigan, or loans money 10 the Ohioans to
complete the iron link between their great
river aud greater lake. There is no market,
home or foreign, in which her capital is not
felt no State where her men and women
are not at work in shop or on farm, in pulpit
platform or press, doing something TO make
the country and the world richer and better

From the .Neto England Washingtonida.
Glorious Victory City Of Cork
taken.
General Starvation, and the Flour
of his Army completely routed.

The United States ship Of war James
town, Captain Forbes, which left Bos-
ton on the 28,h Of March, loaded with
provisions, arrived at Cork on the 10Th
OF April, after passage OF only fifteen
days As soon as the gallant sh'p was
seen coming up the cove, the Bells OF
Shannon," and of the Cathedral were
,un2, and the greatest excitement pre-
vailed among ihe citizens. At8 o'clock,
Dr. Parks, surgeon Of the ship, landed
with dispatches for the Lord Lieutenant,
which were forwarded To that distinguish
cd personage imme diately. Rear Ad-
miral Sir II Pigou, quickly despatched
messenger to the ship TO ascertain when
h"slililits would commence. The mes
seuger had scarcely entered ihe cabin
when he was s,rack in the mouth by II
luge buttered pancake, which came
nish dislncaiing hls Jaws. AS soon as
he recovered himself, and wiped the
grease from hrs lips, he was informed
thai ,he ship would fire upon The town
Ms soon as the ships tackles could be
brought to bear upon the wharvcs and
warehouses. When Sir II. Pigolt was
informed Of the intention Of Captain
Forbes, he issued immediate orders to
General Starvation TO bring his troops
together and form IN columns upon The
quays fronting The enemy. The gallan,
Captain Forbes, seeing that no time
was to be lost, quickly bea, his men 10
arms, and soon had his ship moored to
one of the principal wharves, when the
signal was given and the fore and main
ha.ches ere Enclosed, and double tack

The canOonading now commenced IN

The Cs) laughter. Barrel after barrel,
some of them 200 Founders, was now
discharged upon the lish troops in quick
succession, which set them to capering
and prancing, 10 such manner as was
truly shocking to behold Al the first
discharge seventy men were struck d.
rectly in the centre OF inrir bread bas-
keis, and lo,iy-two had their appetites
carried clean away, SO accurate aud IN
iallibe was the aim Of Captain Forbes
crew. As the battle progressed the air
seemed thick with the smoke OF the
Jameslo~n's guns, "looking," says an
eye witness, "for all the world as though
there was a shower Of fine wheat -four. !"
A bombshell Of coin meal lodged IN an
old house on the quay, in which were
huddlrd large number OF men, women
aud children, and bursied into a thou

fire from the batteries Of the jamestown,
with heroism and devotion which none
but such soldiers could stand under and

running about armed with pots, kettles
aud pans, aud anon tUnniny INTO the
