The News from Europe.

We received, on Saturday, our foreign papers
by the America, but find in them little to add to
the full synopsis received by telegraph on Thurs
day night. We give place, however, to some few
extracts of finterest.-beyond these the prominent
features ofthe news may be stated in few words
The British Parliament has been appointed to in
quire into the inland fisheries and navigation of
Ireland. Lord John Russell has corried his meas
ure to remove the Jewish disabilities, so that
Jew can hold seat in Parliament. The meas
ure passed the House Of Commons by "a vote of
2I4 10 Ill, amid loud cheers A bill to continue
for time, the suspension of the habeas corpus
act in Ireland, has passed the House of Commons
by very large vote, and it is sure to pass the
House of Lords. A bill to grant f50,00O for re-
lief in Ireland, has also passed. The present and
prospective state of Ireland appears to occupy
much of the public attention. During the debate
in Parliament most of the speakers contended that
unless the people of that country themselves puf
their hands to the work, their distresses would
never end. The people CT England, borne down
themselves by taxation and poor rates, begin to
grumble loudly against these annual appropriations
for relic to Ireland But while these discussions
are going on, the people of ireland appear to be
sinking lower and lower in the scale of poverty.
The heart of the nation appears to be broken
The jails and poor houses are constantly filling
Up, and unless some mode be contrived to arouse
the people to exert themselves, suffering of the
most dreadful character appears to be inevitable.
Reports of starvation are to be found in all the
local newspapers. Emigration continues active; !;
stocks of provisions are being plundered; Catho-
lie chaPels are being closed, and the poorer cler-
gy of the church suffering very greatly. Mr..

peared as an evidence, and he was loudly applaud
ed as were some of the remarks of MIR. Duffy's
counsel, even by part of the jury.
The National Assembly of France has voted its
own dissolution, and public confidence seems to
increase in Louis Napoleon. On the 10Th, he
gave great ball. at which none but the very ellie
were present. The same day he reviewed in the
Champ de Mars. the several regiments of the lst
military division, embracing upwards of twenty
battalions of infantry, and nine squadrons of cav
airy, and was loudly cheered, Gen. Cavaignac
had been charged by the Union with endeavoring
to seduce a part of the army of Paris from their
duty, and bad come forward in the tribune of the
National Assembly, to inquire from the Minister
of the Interior and Gen. Changarnier, if anything
had come to their knowledge relative to the accu-
sation. M. Leon Faucher, as well as Gen. Chan
GARNER, disclamed all knowledge of it, and Gen.
Cavaignac expressed himself satisfied There
was great excitement in Lyons among the Social
