LATE FROM EUROPE.


at Boston from Liverpool, about l o'clock
on Saturday afternoon, bringing advices to
the l2lh inst, being one week latter than
before received. The following particulars
are taken from the New York papers of
Saturday afternoon, the account having been
received in that city from Boston by tele-
graph:
IRELAND.-Affairs in ireland have not ma
terially changed, though every day seems
to lessen the probability of any serious out
break. That this unfortunate country is not
now plunged into all the horrors Of civil
war, is not to be attributed to the disincli-
nation of the people to rise in arms. But
rather, it would seem, to the want of bold,
able, and trusted leaders.
Mr.. O'Brien was arrested on Saturday
evening last, at the Railroad station at Tha-
les, whilst in the act of procuring ticket
for Limerick, where, it is said, he intended
to have taken refuge among his friends.-
Immediately after his arrest he was marched
to Bridewei, and subsequently conveyed
to Dublin and edged in Klmainham Jail.
After O'Brien's arrest he is said to have
expressed himself satisfied OF the hopeless
ness of accomplishing his object, and that
he was induced to leave his retreat in the
mountains, because the farther he went the
more the people seemed TO fear to harbor
him. O'Brien is said to be cheerful, and
his wife is allowed free access to him.
Other friends are permitted to converse
with him in presence of the Jail authorities.
There does not appear 10 have been any
serious disturbance in any part of the coun-
try since the Cambria saied, and, according
to the Eng Iish accounts, it seems quite in
possible that there should be any, so long
as the Government sustain its present at
.iude of repression. Numerous arrests con-
tinue to be made We notice the names of
MIR. earn, Mr.. Berged, ship-broker; Mr. No
Ian, of the u. States, Richard O. German,
for whose arrested G3O0 was offered.
On attempting to escape from the coun-
try, he was arrested by the Coast Gnard. af-
ter he had crossed the Shannon in an open
boat Notice was forthwith sent to The po-
lice, but before they arrived, @ 'Gormon had
persuaded his captors that he was mere
traveller from Terry to Clare, and he was
allowed to leave in his boat He subsequent
ly boarded vessel bound down the Shan
non and going to America, in which he has
escaped. A war steamer has been despatched
after the vessel.
ENGLAND-During the last fortnight the
weather has been rather unsettled, in Sou
lhern counties especially. Not day has
passed without heavy rains. As the whea,
has been out in various parts, this unseason-
able weather not onl y retards harvest ope-
ralions, but must, if it continues few days
longer, very materially effect the yield all
over the country. As yet however, no ten
dency to speculation has been exhibited.
If the potato crop should prove seriously
injured both in England and Ireland, land
statements to this effect are rapidly multi
plying) the consequences would be very
serious.
FRANCE. The chief consideration in
Paris at the present moment is the critical
state of No,hern Italy. Numerous dplo-
matte meetings have taken place in Paris, and
Lord Palmerston, in the House Of Commons,
has stated that her Majesty's Government
are deply sensible of the great importance
of seeing termination put to that infor.u-
nate warfare, and added :" am able, although
have no right to speak for another Govern
ment, yet believe may assure the House
that that desire IS equally shared by the
French Government.
"Her majesty's ministers are therefore
about, ] may say, ii not already engaged,
about to take steps in conjunction, trust in
conjunction with the Government of France,
for the purpose of endeavoring by amicabIe
negotiation to bring that warfare to an end"
The last journals from Paris are entirely
occupied with the Italian question, and the
funds have experienced decline in conse-
quence gifts threatening aspect. Two thou
sand Of the insurgents of June, sentenced to
transportation, have been sent to Brest L.
Orient, Sc, where they were to be confined
until the Government should have fixed their
destination. 1t is probable that their fami-
lies will be allowed to them. An unsuccess-
ful attempt was made on the 9Th instant to
assassinate M. Theirs. The shot intended
for him was received by little girl who
was seated at the gate opposite the dwelling
Of M. Theirs. A decree has been published
removing the suspension pronounced on the
9Th June against IL Of the more radical
journals.
PRUss1A.-The Prussian capital still con-
tinues TO be the scene of political cabal and
excitement. The people are for the moment
occupied with the renewal of the war with
the Danes.
The exact position which Prussia is to
take in the newly concocted German scheme
Of government, is not yet ascertained

the Emperor of Austria had resiened hut
