The Foreign News.-The Contents OF this
! Days Herald.
We are crowded with news of various kinds.
The foreign intelligence brought by the America
he particulars of the murder in Leonard street.
The report of the proceedings at the Mariners,
Church, on the presentation of the freedom of the
city TO Frederick Jerome, &C., &c. &c, fill our
columns to-day. To make room for the above
we are Obliged of coYrse to leave out great dea,
of interesting matter, including the speech OF
Leslie Combs at Vauxhall Garden last night
The news from Europe is of the first Importance
The outbreaks In Ireland, caused by starvation,
will attract attention. They Indicate the condition
of that unfortunate country, and are, probably but
beginning of the food riots that are to mark its
history for the next six months, or more. These
riots may lead to something of the greatest conse-
quence to the freedom of Ireland. See intelligence
"to the latest moment
Our advices from the continent of Europe are
not very encouraging. Affairs there have threat
ening aspect.
The financial advices from Europe by this arm
val are of very little Importance, and do no. vary
materially from those previously received Con-
soils had slightly advanced, and the Bank of Eng
land had increased Its bullion small amount, and
reduced its circulation. The demand for money
nom the commercial classes was moderate, and
the rates of interest ranged from two and
halt to three per cent. We find nothing In the
| London papers relative to the movements of MIR.
Corcoran, and know nothing yet regarding the re-
suit of his mission. Commercially, the accounts
are little more favorable than those received by
the Acadia. Cotton was pot in active demand,
neither had there been any improvement in prices;
but there had been quite an advance in Indian
corn Breadstufis generally were dull, and prices
somewhat depressed but the prospect of an ex-
tensive demand for Indian corn and Indian meal
was good, and further Improvement in prices
| was pretty generally admitted The potatoe crop
will be largely deficient, and nothing will supply
the place of that root as well as Indian corn The
news Ill give an impetus to shipments of this grain
and as it Is an article we have in great abundance.
1t is fortunate TOR the producers that the question
as to foreign wants Is settled so early IN the sea-
! son. - s-f7 =
Our correspondence is full we shall begin its

THE EPISCOPAL CoNvESTIoS-This body closed its
deliberations at late hour last evening. 1t had been
expected that debates would have arisen on
several important topics such Bishop Onderdonks
case and the St Philips (colored) church case But
the expedition with which the business of the house
was accomplished brought their labors to close after
session Of only three days. On the Important sub
ject touching the qualifications of lay members of
conventions Dr. Vintons resolution finally prevailed
by considerable majority so that if the present ac
