News from Europe.

We now begin to expect later intelligence from
Europe Il may be that mail steamer left
Liverpool on he l9h rlt., and if so, she may
arrive nj Boston to-day or to morrow. If 70
steamer comes, then we may look for the packet
ship Yorkshire with news. She is almost equa,
10 steamer in speed, and il she sailed from
Liverpool on the 10th ult, she will be due to-
morrow or next day 1t is time for news to come
in some way. and we must, therefore, be on the
look out.

AMERICAN STEAM MARINE I'VE seldom see a
man or an association of men so completely de-
VOID oil all right and proper feeling, that have
not at some time or other done an act, that emit
ties them TO praise and admiration to certain
extent; some act that like meteor; illumines for
tirae the dark night Of their existence
No unprejudiced person can persuade himseh
that the Congress which has just adjourned, has
not been the most Improbable one that ever az
sembled al the capitol. They wasted their time
in discussing absurdities and falacies until the
last day OF the session; but at the eleventh hour,
they certainly transacted u little business of
importance. If they did nothing else, they
they are certainly entitled to praise for pass
ing the bill introduced by Mr.. King, of Georgia,
in relation to the government employing ocean
steamPships in the foreign mail service of the
country.
This bill provides for the construction of four
steam vessels of war-a line Of Ave steamers from
New York 10 Liverpool. Of 1000 tons burthen--a
line of five from New York 20 New Orleane,
touching at Savannah and Havana, with branch
from Havana to Chagres, Of 1900 tons burthen-a
line from Panama on the Pac fc, 10 Oregon touch
ing at the intermediate pous--comprsing, in
the aggregate, sixteen o. more steamships of the
first class.
We congratulate the country on the passage Of
this bill The United States 10 at last about to take
her proper position in ocean steam navigation,
and will, before very long time, have an extern
sive steam marine that will answer for conf
mercial as well as naval purposes.
We understand that E. K Collins Esq, well
known throughout the United States as one of
our most experienced and extensive ship
owners, has received the contract for the
Liverpool line. A better man could not get
it. Mr.. Collins has conferred much honor
on his country, and made for himself reputa-
ton for enterprise, skill, and perseverance from
his connection with the packet ship business,
which he may well be proud Of His reputation
is a guaranty that if he should get the contract,
he will fulfil it in wav satisfactory to the
government, and honorable to himself
1t is presumed that Chas. Fl. Marshall, ESQ.,,
another extensive and well known ship owner,
will contract for the New Orleans Havana, and
Panama lines. He is now building several steam
ships, which he designed for the Liverpool trade,
but he can easily construct them that they will
answer for any ofthe others.
