AFFAIRS IN EUROPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.


Inc steamer Caledonia, Capt Listch arrived of
Boston at ten o'clock on Saturday night, and an
chored below that city, in thick fog. She came
up yesterday morning. and the following is all the
intelligence received to six O'Clock last evening.
The news began to come over the wires at eleven
O'Clock; but in consequence of the atmospheric
electricity the telegraph ceased working ntelligi-
bly, at two o'clock. Owing TO this, we can only
give little more than the markets. They indi-
cate, however, the condition of affairs in Europe
The Caledonia sailed from Liverpool on the 9Th
inst.
The returns of the French elections are now COM
peted; and notwithstanding the utmost exertions of
the ultra republicans and communists who left nei-
Their fair nor foul means untred effect their pur-
pose, the lists exhibit triumphant testimony to the
popularity of the principles propounded and acted
uponb Lamartine and the moderate party. Indeed,
so clearly and prominently has this expression Of
popular feeling been manifested, tina. some fears
are entertained Of the minority resorting to Interior
measures in order TO render the past proceedings
nugatory.

place in London on Monday, and has not yet been

extremely dull during the week the business of
yesterday was almost fully in RETAIL and of cha
racter decidedly unfavorable to holders.
