The News from Europe.
The news from Europe, received by telegraph
from ST Jchu, New Brunswick, in anticipation
Of the arrival OF the steamship at Boston, has
ated great sensation in thus community, and WILL
attract attention in every commercial city in the
Union. The recent events in England, and In Eu-
rope generally, are more interesting in CONNER
c,al point OF view, affecting the United States,
than in a political aspect. A complete change ma
taken place, within few months, IN the public
mind CT that region of the world-a change which
amounts almost 10 a revolution, OF more econe-
mical than political character, however.
The advance in the price Of American staples
and stecks, with the return OF commercial activity
In EDgIsnd and the appearance OF stability In the
French republic, as well al the apparent quiet in
Germ any and Italy, will have a most important

discoveries aud commercial enterprise. The
Mexican war in this country, and the acquisition
of Calfornis, are having the effect OF moderatlng
,he political excitement of Europe, by changing
its character and decoying 1t into commercial en-
serprlse.
Thus goes the moral and political world from
one cycle to another. the same way as the earth
performs Its gyratiens around the centre OF our
system. We expect to see most extraordinary

speculation during the next one. two, or three
years. while General Taylor is our President

Mr. GREELRY's ADDRESS TO HIS CONSTITUENTS.
The honorable Mdssa Greeley, as his colortd
trends call him, has published long address to
his constituents, telling them how much he tried,
but how htile he Effected, in Congress. This Is no
news by telegraph. We all know that Mr.. Gree
icy tined great many things, in small way, but
very little. He talks about postage
reform, slavery, reirenchme mt, land reform, and
cfp huf no honorable
GreeIev will be principally remembered in the an
malls Of history as the great mileage member, who
wanted not only to cut down the travelling ex.
renses OF members Of Congress, but was equally
sellcltous In endesvorlpg to take of few extras
which are generally paid, and justly, too, to the
hard working attendants members of Congress
such as porters paper folders, amp-lIghters, DOOR
keepers, GRAND bows, and boot-blacks. Mr.. Gree
fey made terrible noise about the mileage, yet
he took nearly two hundred dollars himself. for
mileage between New York and Washington,
when his real expenses In performing the journey
did not amount to twsnty. Was this honest, &C.
cordlng to his own scale Of honesty! As to his at
tempa to deraud the servants of Congress of their
little extras, it about about as liberal and ge
nerous as 1t wosld be in any person living at one
of our hotels, and receiving the constant and daily
tenton Of the waters, boot blacks, and chambers
MAIDS; and yet when leaving the domicle would
not give them much as a quaiter extra tor
the attention they received Mr.. Greeey's
,eirenchment and reform notions are the mean
est and smallest that ever filled any addle
head, in any part of the world. We won
der he did not propose committee for the
purpose OF collecting the stumps OF the candles,
the parings of the cheese, and the other wastage
OF both houses OF CoDgrees, in order to cell those
materials for the purpose of paying of the
na,ioi al debt. This would have been . real move
nent IN favor of ret enchneat and reform, accor-
ag lis nj gnlft le age and antl-extra prin
cipes.
But while poor Greeley does not leave public life
without having acquired notoriety as statesman
OF a certain kind, he did not spend three months ia
Warrington, as a member OF Congress, wIthou,
e Fl ciog some,h ny He ruined the bill for estab-
3ishing mint IN this c'y. For years past, Mr.
Tsl msdge has been indefstgable IN that m alter,
and was almost successful in ef-ctlne that grea.
nproveD ent Tor this city During the recent session,
we nave no doubt that the mint would have been
successful, but for the appearance Of such man
as Greeley In Congress. His election by the pee

cordiDy to our positive information from w ashlng-
ton. The bill passed the House, but fell through
IN the Senate. Why's Several members of that
body, from the South and elsewhere, opposed It's
passage, at the most critical moment, when their
silence would have allowed It to pass Why dad
'hey DO so We are positively informed that one
or two OF those Senators stated that # the people
OF New York would send such miserable dema-

them, they could expec; nothing but opposition to
what they wan'ed. "The community of New
York" they sald, "are sensible people, but they
