SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM
EUROPE.


has risen one-eight ola penny, and Rail
way shares from 10 to Is per cent The
Bank of England has reduced the rate
ofinterest on Bills having 95 days to run
to 3 per cent. Wheat has risen a shil.
ling or two in Mark Lane. The pota.
toe disease is checked.
The Cholera is spreading, but not with
alarming mortality. The number of deaths in
London Is still lower by AZ than the average OF
the Bills of Mortality The deaths from chol-
era during the week amounted to 81. There
report, making l69 deaths out of 300 cases
since the 4th of October.
The British arms appear to have met with a
rather mortiiying repulse in India, and the
Slkhs are in full revolt. English forces under
Gen. Whish, estimated at 90, 900 men, were
besleging Moultan, garrisoned with a Sikh
army of 1000 to ~ 900 men and SO guns, and
have been compelled to retire distance of lS
miles. Shere Singh, a vassal of the English
has gone over 10 his victorious brethren, and
il is supposed that it will require an army of
10000 or 10000 men to conquer the country
May il never be done.
There is entire tranquility in Ireland The
Attorney General has conceded Mr.. Smith o.
Brien's right to writ of error, and a new trial
was to take place on the 18th. Should he be
again convicted it is supposed that he will be
allowed an appeal to the House of Lords
Mr.. Gavan Duffy 's.trial, on account of blum
der in the prosecutions, is deferred to some
time in December. Mr.. O'Doherty, one of
the prOprietors of the Irish Tribune-two iu-
nes having disagreed on his case-has at last
been convicted and recommended to mercy
which probably means that he is recommend
ed to the benefits Of an enli ghtened public
opinion.
FRANcE.-Thc symptoms Of hard
struggle for the Presidency Of the Re-
public OIL the 10Th ofDecember begin to
show themselves. The Republicans ap-
pear to be concentrating OH Ledru Rol-
lin, AMI threaten that if the departments
prove refractory, they will compel them
to be republicans by force. But the de-
partments seem TO stand more in need of
the schoolmaster. TIE common people
have the idea that Louis Napoleon is so
immensely rich that he will pay off the
National Debt and restore plenty. In
the mean time, the royalsts and the top
Of the bOurgeOisie are so much pleased
with Louis Napoeon's availability-and
want OF real power, too, probabIy-that
they are rallying round him, and have
lent him GOO, ,000f to stand the expenses
Of the campaign. The moderate party
put forward Gen. Csvaignac, and will be
assisted by all the power and influence
of the government, but it seems almost
certain that availability will carry the
day.
ViESNA.-The Postscript of the European
Times gives the following as the latest news
rom the seige of Vienna -
We are sill without any direct communica-
ions from Vienna. 1t appears, however, be-
'ond doubt that it has been attacked and
by Windischgratz, and that his
roops have suffered severely, and when the
asst accounts left had failed to make themselves
masters of the town. Jelachch had been
compelled to retire, and the citizens aie de-
ermned to destroy the city rather than surren-
Ter. The defence Of Vienna can only be para!-
ellcd by the defence of Saragossa.
The latest intelligence received via. Rats
,on was as follows That four of the suburbs,
lamely, Lichtenthal, I.andstrasse, Jagcrzeil, |
md Erdberg are in flames, that the cannonade
continued without inermlsson on both sides
the day the troops are in possess
on OF the northern line, and have not yet sue
eeded in taking any Of the suburbs. in the
agerzell tremendous barricade has been
erected, defended by eight cannon and as many
of burghers. A perpetual fire is
ieptup against the enemy, but they were be-
ginning to husband the powder. There was
'till supply of provisions.
The western conduit, which is in tbe hands
Of the enemy, has not been destroyed. The
lead are buried in the gacis, as the church
yard is occupied by the enemy.
SPAIS.-An official communication was re-
cived on the 26th ult. by the minister of the |
United States from Senor Pidal, requiring him
o surrender up his footman Ferdinand to the
authorities. Senor Pidal had previously Of
cred excuses for the discourteous manner in .
which The agents Of the Government had act
ID. lie also promised to punish the informer
lgainst Ferdinand, As General Saunders de-
hes the right Of the Government to claim his
servant for he military service, it seems proba-
Die that some dispute may grow out of this
question between the Spanish Government and
hat of the United States.
TURKEY.-Ld Presse, Nov. |, says letters
rom Constantinople Of the llth Oct. announ-
res that terrible fire had just broken out in
'era. The Museum, mosque, hospital and
he Academy Of Medicine have been entirely
destroyed, AS well as more than two hundred .
private dwellings. The loss is immense.
NORTHERN ITALY.
The Breslau Gazette, of the 22nd, announ-
'es, in large capitals, on the authority of trav-
Her from Brunn, that peace had been conclu-
led in Italy on these terms -
Z" The erection Of Lombardy into an nde- "
pendent province, annexed to Austria, with !
pecial and separate constitution and the full
maintenance of its nationality Venice to re- .
naln free port, and the German troops to re-
ire from Italy Immediately"
RUSSIA.
a private letter from Stettin contains an ac-
cunt of the Emperor of Russia having made .
'eace with Circassia I; it is supposed with the
Intention Of being able to withdraw his troops
rom thence, and send an army of two OF three
hundred thousand men into the prncipalties Of
he Danube.
HUNGARY.
The Saxo-Valaques of lTcrmanstadt (Tran-
yvanla,) have held numerous meeting in
