Later from Europe.


on Sunday last. She brings two weeks later
intelligence from Europe, which is highly
important. The commercial distress in Eng.
land, is however, the most important news by
! this arrival. The failures which commenced
in houses connected with the corn trade, have
extended to other branches OF business, and
the estimated liabilities of houses which have
failed since the sailing of the last packet is
more than seven millions of pounds, or $685.
100000. A failure to meet business engage.
ments to so great an extent as this, cannot but
be felt in every branch Of trade. 1t is said
that one of the Western monied institutions
in this country is involved to considerable
extent in these failures.
The Grain market has improved since the
last accounts. This improvement was farther
maintained on the market day of the 18Th
when Wheat advanced about 5s per quarter on
the quotations OF the 9th, and Flour, for which
there was an immense demand both in Lon
don and Liverpool, advanced 3s to as per bbl
The top quotation for the better description OF
| w neat was O>s per quarter
| In Liverpool the best Western Canal Flour
which on the lst was quoted at 25s per bbl.,
and barely fetching that price, was selling on
the 18th at % to 3Us. Indian Corn, also, has
been in more demand, and higher rates had
been paid for it, and the Corn market, at the
latest moment, appeared firm; but as large
supplies were still expected from abroad, and
as the English harvest was admitted to be an
abundant one, it was very doubtful whether
farther fluctuations would not take place be-
fore prices reached their natural level.
Considerable purchases have been made in
the market for Belgium and Holland, in con-
sequence of the diseased appearance of the
Potato crop in those countries, and these pur-
chases have tended to strengthen the mar
ket
Cotton has fallen three.e .eights of penny
per pound.
In Ireland there appears to be general in
clination to resist the repayment Of the loans
advanced by the Government through the Re-
| lief Commissioners to the several poor law
boards throughout Ireland for the purpose of
alleyiating the universal distress which pre-
vailed in that country during the past year
Such conduct will no doubt lead to very ser-
Gus results, especially if the Government in
sists upon the repayment of the money.
| Italy is still the scene Of great excitement,
In Lucca and Tuscany the population have
extorted from their rulers sort of pledge to
promote progress, while their liberties have
been secured by the institution of the Civic
Guard from the Two Sicilies.
Letters from st. Pctersburgh of the 7th
inst state that the city had been visited with
the most terrible storm of wind and rain ever
Experienced within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant. 1t rained necessarily for A. hours,
while the wind blew with intense violence
The result of this visitation was the destruc-
ton Of above 400 houses. At one period fears
were entertained for the safety Of the entire
city, and some timid and supcrstitious persons
apprehended that the end of the world was al
hand.

A colored man by the name Of John

ed in regard to it. The wonderful nebula in
the Constellation Of Orion, has recently been
subjected to the scrutiny Of Mr.. Bond through

power Of the admirable instrument. The ca

DEATH OF DR. TESSrY.-Wc learn from
the Northampton, Mass, Gazette, that Rev.
Caleb J. Tenney, ID. ID formerly Of this town,
died at his residence in Northampton, on the
2Sth ult aged 81. lie came home about ten
days previous to his death, feeling unwell,

DREADFUL DsATH ON THE RAILROAD
MIR. Hiram S. Siudiford, a married
mao Of 27years, came TO his death in q
shocking manner las, night, lie wa,
a passenger in the II l-2 p. VI. train
OF cars from Jersey City, and his body was
found ea'ly this mornng, lying about
o inches from the Railroad track, nearly
a mile from the Markets., depot, on the
way I" Elznbe,h,own. His hat was
lound, uninlmea, about quarter oi a
mile tbs side Of the place where the
body lay, and there was evidence on the
ground between these two points that
he had been dragged that distance. -
There was various bruises all over his
body, and severe compound fracture
on his head and u part oi oae Of his
hands was cut off by the wheel Of the
car. The wound on his head undoubled.
y caused his death From these aud
other circumstances It seem probable
that he had been asleep when the train
stopped at Newark, but waking shortly
aztec, attempted to jump off, when his
foot might have caught in the step
there being deep lndeni alton in the
sole Of his shoe, and his leg being broken
at the ancle. In this situation he was
dragged, head striking against the sleep
ers of the track, vnll he was thrown off
lileles and mangled. lie was a steady,
industrious man, very respectfully con-
nected, and leaves a young wife and
one child. The case isto be investigated

BRILLIANT METEOR IN New ORLEANS
The New Orlean Bulletin says that
on the evening of the 18th inst. brilliant
meteor passed over that city at an
elevation Of forty or iorty-6ye degrees,
passingin a northeasterly direction, in
a descending line of about twenty-five OF
thirty degrees, with the surface Of the
earth. II had not what could be called
a very rapid motion, but its progress
could be deliberately followed by the eye
until IT was lost in the horizon. Its bright.
ness was very great-almost intense, be-
ing very similar to that of Drummond
light. The night was still and clear
and the momen,ary lighiness far exceeded
that of moonlight II was not accom-
panied by the slightest explosion.

steward accidentally broke a can oftur-
pentine, the contents Of which took FIRE

enveloped in flames. They Immediately
rushed on deck, their clothing having al
so taken fire in consequence of the tur-
pentlne which had attached to them, and
which Mr., Luce vainIy endeavored to
subdue by pouring water upon them.
The clothes Of the steward had become
saturated with the infammahle liquid,
and were literally burned upon him, so
that he died IN intense suffering on the
following day. The crew excrted them
selve in pouring water down the trunk

bags of powder from the transom of the
ship, and finally extinguished the flames.
Capt Taylor was badly burned, chiefly
at his feet, ankles and hands, and was
confined to his bed until the arrival of
the ship at Faya a few days after the ac-
ciden,, when he was removed on shore
for medical attendance. Mr.. Luce was
