The steamer Europa, Capt. LORI, with two
weeks later news from all parts of Europe, ar
rived at Halifax at 10 l-2 O'Clock, yesterday
morning. Our express left at ii o'clock, and,
though the roads are still very heavy, made q
splendid run to Orgby Gut, 145 miles, in 10
hours and five minutes. She brought IL pas
sengers for Halifax, ard 43 for New York.
The steamer America arrived in Liverpool Oh
the morning of the Sd, after a successful run
from Boston of 9 l-2 days.
The Washington, from New York, arrived at
Southampton OH the 9th inst, and proceeded to
Bremen next Gay.
Under the influence Of more favorable advi-
ces from India, and the existing luli in the ex-
Of continental politics, trade in nearly
every department is beginning to assume q more
aspect. There Is still an uneasy feel
ing respecting the threatened hostilities in the
north Of Europe, but since the abrupt and deci-
sive determination Of the difficulties between
and Austria, terminating in the COM
plete prostration and abdication Of Charles Al
one of the most serious obstacles to a salts
factory adjustment of continental affairs, seems
10 have been overcome, and. could the Danish
quarrel be disposed Of, Of which, unfortunately
here Is no present prospect, no material obsla-
lie would stand in the way Of permanent pros
perity.
We have the latest Liverpool and London pa
oers, but do not observe the least ~allusion to AL
nerican stocks. r |
Money, though still abundant, has slightly in.
in value. The lowest Bank rate is still
per cent. but with private Banks, the bestl
bills are done at 2 l-2 per cent.
The returns of the Bank Of England show that
he bullion in the vaults is about 15,O 0 ,OOOl
sterling, so that the drain which mayl
rise from the United States in connection with
he inequality Of the exchanges, will be met
