News from Europe.

The city was thrown into some llttie excitement
Yesterday in consequence of the report that the
nscket ship New World was below, with three
or four days later intelligence on board. Our
news collector has not yet brought us our papers;
the probability is, therefore, that the New World
is not below.
The mercantile portion of the community are
exceedingly anxious to receive further news from
Europe, as in all probability they will learn by
the next arrival from there, whether the potato
rot has really made its appearance in Ireland or
England and also the effect of the protested bills.
The Sarah Sands is in her fourteenth day, the
French steamer Union in her twelfth, and the
Britannia in her eighth. All of them will be
due, and will probably arrive in three or foul
days, with the intelligence so much looked for.
In the meantime there may be some arrivals O.
packet ships with later news than any we have
received. The last packet ship that reached
here, brought us dates to the eleventh of August
only week behind those brought by the Gale
ionia to Boston and as easterly winds prevail
generally at this time of the year, it is not Inn
probable that one or more of our packet ships
will arrive, bringing news some days later than
what we have received
We shall keep sharp look out for them, and
issue an Extra Herald Immediately after we re-
ceive later news, whether by steamship or packet
ship

Cruise of the United States Ship Savannah
The Suffering Emlgrants.

The U. S. ship Savannah arrived in this port
on the 9Th inst, after an absence of nearly four
years in the Pacific ocean. She left here on the
18th of October, 1s43, and since then has sailed
seventy-two thousand two hundred and eighty
four miles and it speaks volumes in favor of the
discipline on board, and the sanitary regulations
adopted by the officers, that of crew of some
seven hundred men, there were only thirty deaths,
two of which were caused by the enemy and two
by accident.
We have been favored with some extracts from
the log book, by the officers, which we take plea
sure in laying before our readers.
The following table shows the places visited,
the number of days at sea, the distance sailed,
and the time she remained at each port, as well
as the names of the several commanders, during

For the rest, the treaties have nothing onerous in

what might clash with unenghtened opinions preu
