Ii Days Later from Europe.
ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA.

The steamship Acadia arrived at Boston
on Saturday about noon, from Liverpool
Nov. A. Her news is eleven days later.
She brought so passengers.
The advices from England are not of a
favorable nature. Since the last accounts,
more failures have occurred in the princi-
pal towns among mechants and manufac-
turers-and also several banks have failed
in different parts Of the country. The North
and South Wales bank at Liverpool, hay
ing numerous branches in the Principally
has succumbed under the influence Of a
mischievous report, which caused q run
upon the bank. The Salisbury Bank, the
Shaitesbury and Hindon Bank and the
Shrewsbury Bank have also stopped pay
ments.
On the Continent considerable failures
have taken place; Leghorn Genoa, Tri-
este, Lisbon and Client having chiefly
suffered. The French house at St. Pc
tersburgh, of C. Riva & Co., has also
failed.
The whole number of failures in Eng
land and or the continent between the
18th of October and Nov 4, is Gtty-two.
At the latest accounts trade in all its
branches labored under much depression,
prices were depressed, and the reports
from manufacturing districts are most dis
couvaging.
The cotton market had been in dull
and gloomy state, and the general tenden-
CIV of prices was downward. The recon-
mendations OF the Ministry, and their a.
doption by the bank, caused an advance
for day or two, but prices fell back again
to the old quotations. Wilmer & Smith
say it is not unlikely that prices will far
ther recede.
The grain market has been more steady
In The early part Of the week ending on
the Both ult-, the markets generally were
lower, but since then prices have exhibited
a decided movement upwards A; an advance
of Is to Is was established in flour. The
last quotations at Liverpool were, u S.
Flour % 30s; Indian Corn 80 35s per
4e0 lbs; Meal per brI. IA l5s; Wheat,

MISUNDERSTANDING scarcity of
provisions, theTreasury have re-appointed
% of the 100 naval and military officers
who served under the relief commission in
Ireland last year, in experimenting the
distribution of provisions.
One important cause of the meeting of
Parliament on the 18th, is said to be the
alarming sensation and threatning distress
ses in Ireland.
TheCOntinentaI news is meagre enough.
The hourly increasing danger of Swiss
civil war is the only topic which attracts
attention.
The Austrian and Russian Ministers
had left Switzerland, in obedience to or
ders from their government, and the Prus-
sian Ambassador was expecting similar
orders every moment The Austrian gov
eminent has declared its determination
nolto interfere between the belligerant par
ties; this has cooled the ardor of theC Cath
ole league, which has now appealed to
France for aid.
