EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.

Liverpool.
The following summary of the news is princi-
ally from Wilmer & Smith European Times.
There is hardly SO much activity in CONNER
cial affairs this week we last reported.
Most descriptions of American cotton can be
had point lower than last week. The Grain
trade was still more dull, on account OF the ia.
vorable state of the crops. 2Ss. was the top
price of barrel flour.
The threatened demon tration of the Chartists
in the metropolis on Monday the 18th, proved
even more signal failure than the previous af-
fair of the 10th of April at Kensington Common.
The crops in Great Britain and other parts of
Europe are in general very promising.
There have been heavy floods in the Northern
parts OF England, occasoned by heavy rains and
the overlooking of the streams
Six hundred human skeletons have been found
by some workmen employed in an excavation in
Union street, Southwark. They are supposed to
be those of persons buried in a heap during the
great plague.
At a boiler explosion at Dudley, the other day,
twelve persons were killed.
IRELAND. The news from ireland is much
more pacific. There appears less prospect of
Gctual turmoil.
The Repeal Association has quietly evapora-
ted, and the confederates are now the only vsi-
BILE tomenters of discomfort

reaction has taken place in Paris spon-
taneous revulsion OF opinion has shown itself in
some OF the provinces; but it is reaction not
tending to ultra .Republicanlsm or even monarchy
but in favor otimperial despousm, and personiied
in one of its most fragrant forms,-the twice be-
tore rejected Pretender to the throne of France,
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte.
Wilmer & Smiths Times says, at the publica-
ton OF our last number the precise result of the
elections had not reached US. We said that Caus
sldlere and Theirs were elected, and that Louis
Bonaparte had some chance of success Our
continental news will show the exact results
1t will be that the most Objectionable per-
sons to the Government have been elected ultra
democrats and communists; and, to the astonish-
ment OF the many, but we confess not ourselves,
Louis Bonaparte stood seventh on the Paris poll.
and was returned by three other departments, in
some places at the head OF the poll, and in almost
all cases, in very favorable position. 1t seems
that in Paris even he was not started as candi-
date until the day previous to the election, and
then in such an ambiguous and unauthorized
manner, that no one knew really whether he
was candidate or not.
AS soon as the Government perceived this most
unexpected re action, evidenced most incnntro-
Vertlbly by the ballot and universal suffrage they
