The steamship Niagara, from Liverpool, is due
at this port with seven days later intelligence from
all parts Of Europe.
There is not so much anxiety or excitement In
the public mind relative to the nature OF later ad
vices; but some curiosity exists to learn the pro-
gress of the rebellion, since the arrest of the prln
cipal leaders The probability is that the news
will not amount to much any way-that no fight
ing has taken place-that the government has ex-
tended Its forces over the whole of the disafected
districts, and effectually put down every demon
stration against It, Some interest is manifested
TO learn the policy Of the government relative to
Its prisoners.
The political state of the Continent of Europe is,
Just now, the most important matter, and we may
receive accounts of the successful mediation OF
France and England, in peaceable settlement OF
the questions ct issue between the powers engaged
IN hostiities.
The harvests are another item of interest. The
progress of the potato disease in Ireland and the
effect of the unfavorable weather, up to the time
the previous steamer left, will be more definitely
known on this side of the Atlantic after the arrival
of the Niagara, and prices for breadstufis In our
markets more satisfactorily determined. In the
event of the potato disease having become general,
and the grain crops much injured by the unfavora-
BILE weather, we shall see an activity in our grain
markets, little dreamed of few weeks since. A
few days. perhaps few hours, will settle all these
onoe,iono

THE YELLOW FKvER.-The Board of Health met
yesterday, to take into consideration the commu-
nlcation from the health officer of this port, an
nouncing that the yellow fever was on Staten
Island We give the proceedings IN another
column.
1t is to be expected that any intimation of the
existence, or of the supposed existence, OF this
dreadful disease, will create good deal OF alarm
and excitement, and be the means OF spreading
thousand false reports of the actual appearance OF
the fever in the city. Those who spread such re-
ports ought to be frowned down at once. Alarm
is almos, as mischievous as the disease itself.
We suppose tina, several cases of the fever are
really on the island. We cannot believe that the
health officer would announce 1t to be there unless
he felt sure of its existence. But this need not
create unnecessary alarm 1t has been there be-
fore. We would advise every one, however, to be
careful.
