BY the steamer Acadia, which left Liver.
pool on the 18th November the following items
Of foreign news have been received.
There had been several more heavy failures
in London and the principal towns Of Eng
land, and four of the provincial Banks had
stopped payment. The India mail had arri-
we'd; the accounts were said TO be good. The
Barings had issued a circular, in consequence
Of certain assurances given to the bankers by
her Majesiy's Government, which tended
somewhat to restore confidence. TWAS hoped
that the money market was beginning to ex-
perience some relief. There had also been
heavy failures in Leghorn, Genoa, Trieste,
Lisbon and Client. Switzerland was on the
eve Of civil war. 1t is reported that the
French Government propose to repeal the
Law which excludes the Bonaparte family
from France. In Italy the Pope has institu-
ted a council Of state, but the country was
much agitated, and the Austrians still keep
possession of Ferrara. Professor McCullagh
Of the Dublin University committed suicide,
in fit Of insanity on the 30th ult. The
Catholic Bishops of Ireland had addressed a
letter TO the Lord Lieutenant, and received an
assurance in reply, that Government would
interfere, to alleviate tue distresses which are
apprehended from the scarcity of provisions.
Doctor Riddle, Roman Catholic Bishop, died
at Newcastle on the Cd inst, of Typhus fever
caught whist attending on the destitute Irish
of that place.
M. Goerrausen, Cashier General of the
Bank of Sweden was assassinated in Stock
holm on the 18th ult. Letters from Rome
state that the Prince de Canine had been re-
lieved from arrest Giovanni Andrea Romeo,
one of the Calabrian chiefs. had surrendered
himself; his sentence Of death was commuted.
AtLiverpool the price Of grain had aGyan-
ced little, and there was scarcely percep
tonable rise in cotton.

JOHN VAN BUREN,.

The New York Herald OF the lin, publish
es more ample report than had previously
appeared, of John Van Buren's late splendid
and scathing speech, additional extracts from
which we hope yet 10 lay before our readers.
1t is a rare specimen OF eloquence and witt
is satire is OF the most scorching kind. This
speech will long be remembered by the unior-
tunate objects of its merciless excavations
Rich. Rep.
The New York Herald, in noticing this
speech, says, ''As a man OF sparkling lmag
nation, brilliant powers OF sarcasm, and nalu-
raj eloquence, John Van Buren, does more in
one speech than many politicians OF the day
in whole life But John was always remark
ably smart; and now his smartness has grown
into mature production, fit for exhibitions
and premiums. We will say nothing relat-
ing to his prudence as politician, or in re-
ference TO his wisdom as a selfish seeker after
ofice.-He seems TO have abandoned all the
p,oiects and plans of his ancestor, the venera-
HE fossil of kindehook, and we are glad TO
make record of the fact; for more calculating
cold. repulsiye being, both as man and a
politcian. than the elder Van Buren,, does not
exist this side of the arctic circle. He has not,
ard he never had, a single llneament Of char
ac,er calculated 10 warm the heart or stir up
enthusiasm He would cool the place he goes
to after this life. His recent letter. first pub
lished in the backwoods Of Pennsylvania.
seems like the sound of a mans voice from the
bottom of the tomb, not yet dead, and still
struggling in the jaws Of death. 1t would be
more pleasant and agreeable tosay OF such a
man that he is contened and quiet IN his retire
ment at Undertook. preparing for his last ac-
count, and repentng him of his slns-mourn-
ing over his past receptions and humbugs-
than to see him making fresh endeavors TO rise
from the earth, like a mole, to encounter the
light.
''But John Van Buren, is a chip Of another
block--the sparkle Of another sky--the light
Of another and better day. Whether the
younger one will become leading politician
is doubtful. But who cares? Every step in
his career shows freshness ofgenius and ex-
perience, degree of mind and Imagination,
which we hope and will lead to Intellectual
emlnence of higher kind, nobler and more
enduring. than that of the paltry politician"

Is" The Rockingham Register, after noticing
the fact that Gov. SKUNK received a majority OF
the votes Of the Pennsy lvania Volunteers, ex-
presses his opinion that Gen IRWIN, the compel
itor of Gov. Skunk, would doubtless run better
in the Mexican Army. This was doubtless meant
for ,oit, and we sorry to disturb the selfcom-
pacency of the editor of the Register, over an
abortion which must have cost him at least quar-
ter of an inch of his sinister thumb nail but il
surely ought to have occurred to the sapent gen
tleman, that perhaps Gen. Irwin might have as
decided repugnance to a nearer acquaintance
with the Mexican Army, as the publisher of the
Register and his Democratic allies of the 10th
Legion.
