IA DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP NIAGARA

14DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP NIAGARA.
ST. JOINS, April 6, 81 A. NJ.
The Niagara, Capt Ryrie, with two weeks
later intelligence from all parts of Europe, ar
rived at Halifax yesterday, at 8 o'clock, p
M. Our Express started at half-past 8, and
arrived at St. Johns at quarter past 8 this
morning.
The Niagara has forty -one through passen-
gers, and will probably arrive at her wharf
tomorrow at 6 o'clock, A. VI.
The Europa arrived at Liverpool on the
goth ult, in thirteen days from New York.
Her arrival was anxiously looked for as the
bearer of President Taylor's Inaugural Adj
dress, which was Immediately te!egraphed TO
the London press, and has since been very
much commented upon by all the leading pa.
pers.
The Hermann arrived at Southampton, from
Bremen, on Thursday, and was to sail for
New York on the 26th. One of the firemen,
a colored man, was crushed 10 death by some
of the machinery, on her passage from Bremen.
| A steamer had arrived at Southampton from
Havre, with 500 bales of valuable French
goods, which were placed on board the Her.
mann, for the New York market.
The Sarah Sands made the run home in
seventeen days.
The news by the arrival, presents Euro
pean politics in more threatening aspect than
at any previous period during the past year,
and its Importance, not less than its exciting
interest, predominates over all other intelli-
gence.
England. of Parlidment.-
In Parliament, the proposal of Mr.. Dlsraeli
to make an inquiry into the peculiar burdens
on land, with view to their relief, has been
disposed of by a majority of $50 10 189.
The long threatened opposition of Mr.
Hume and Mr. Golden has subsidized in the
weakest disclaimer in the House of Commons,
of troops and seamen. Only the most insig-
nifcant minorities have supported the financial
reforms.
The events in India seem to have aroused
the British feeling so long kept in obeyance,
and it is quite plain that the cry of ships, col
onies, and commerce, was never more popular
than at this moment.
The division of the second reading of the
navigation bill, seems to give reason that
with the exception of removing the impedi-
ments which stand in its way, of perfect reel
procty in the European trade, so as to assimi-
late ii to that of the present free intercourse
with the United States, and of Matchmaking
certain produce. 1t is very doubtful whether
the present navigation laws will be abroga-
ted. The second reading of the present bill
has only been sanctioned by a majority of Sc
in house of 476 members.
The Cholera-We rejoice to say that the
cholera is fast disappearing. Total of cases
has reached 14,3O4, of which 1900 were in
the Metropolitan districts, about 1 90 in the
country, and more than $4,000 elsewhere
The total deaths have been 1864 The wealth.
er has been uninterruptedy mild and fine foI
the season.
Ieland.-The west and south of Ireland
seems to be in a deplorahe state. Several
frightful murders are reported. The cholera
is committing extensive ravages. In Lime
rick, TO compensate for this sad and distress
sing visitation, the farmers have commenced
tilling their ground, and the potato is again
planted 10 a greater breadth. The attachment
: of the Irish 10 this, their precarious mode OF
sustenance, cannot be eradcated. 1t is hoped
that the early sowing has been adopted gene
rally throughout the country, that the chan
ces of failure may be diminished. The friends
, of Ireland, however, view with considerable
alarm, this recurrence to a system which has
cost so much life and treasure.
France.-7he Political TriaS.-Public at
, tention continues 10 centre in the trials al
Burgeos, of the political prisoners. which are
t proceeding with due solemnity. After pain
full investigation into all the circumstances
connected with the murder of Gen. Brea, the
government has spared the lives OF all the con.
: victed party, with the exception of two, who
were brought TO the scaffold on the 18th and
guillotined. This first application of the hate
full instrument of punishment since the last
: revolution, has excited the Red Republicans
= to uncomfortable fury. They have stigmati
e Zed the President as an eXecutioner and an as
sassin, and M. Proudhon ends an outrageou:
article on the subject, thus addressing Loui!
Napoleon-You have restored the guillotine
and it will only disappear with you
4 Trouble Uith Russia 1t is said that tn
2 Emperor of Russia has declared TO the French
5 Ambassador, Leflo, at St. Petersburg, that h,
would acknowledge the French Republic j
Cavaignac were elected President, but since
e the election of Napoleon he has changed hi
t tone. He considers this sign of a still ex
listing spirit of conquest. Gen Lef1o has lief
st. Petersburg in consequence.
1t is stated on good authority that the Am
bassador of Russia, Baron Kipels, has deman
ded his passports from the French govern
ment.
Miscellaneous.-Every day now disclose
some fresh instance of the interchangeable yea
r of the Socialists, who overturn the present or
, der of things.
S At Toulon there are great preparations TO
/ emharking troops, and in consequence of tn
| movements in Piedmont and Italy, the ARM
OF the Alps has even again reunited, and ev
cry arrangement made so that large division
S OF troops may cross the Alps, should an arm
e ed Intervention be resorted to-
). Up to this moment there seems to be cor
dial and complete understanding between tn,
French and English governments in respec
e to the affairs of Italy.
e The French funds have fuctuated violentl,
j since our last. The five per cents. fell thre
: per cent. in one day, owing to the rumor O
e actual hostilities in Piedmont but they hav

f be making on English and foreign account
D The last price of the five per cents. were fs1

e The Paris papers state that Metternch i
: shortly expected in Paris.
S An office has been appointed at Havre TO
the purpose of registering the names of al
: who may wish 10 go to California.
e AuStriG.-A Constitutional Monarchy Aus
e tria has taken the most extraordinary and un
n looked for step. The Diet Of Kremser, whcl
