Inc Shortest Passage from Liverpool,
Steamship Asia, Captain Judkins, from
Liverpool May Is, 2 P NJ, via. Halifax, ar
rived at her wharf at East Boston yesterday
at quarter past one, P. NJ having made
the shortest passage across the ocean upon
record. though she had serious detention
off Halifax by fog. We gave yesterday, by
telegraph, a sketch of the markets at Liver
pool, which was generally correct, the cot
ton market being literal
Earrings London Circular says
The produce markets have been charac-
terized by increased frmness this week,
and rather higher prices have been obtained
for several ARTICLES. The corn trade, too,
has shown further tendency TO improve
ment.
The London Shipping Gazette of the
afternoon of the 18th, in its review of the
prospects of the harvest and the state Of the
grain trade, states that the weather had been
unseasonably cold, and vegetation was ma
king slow progress. Still the advance in
prices had been checked, and rates would
be regulated by the character ofthe season.
Prices on the continent were to high too al
low the execution of British orders, but
freights to England are universally low, land
foreign supplies must naturally come in
There were large arrivals of French -four,

had risen in Ireland and Liverpool, and
higher rates were demanded for floating car

ENGLAND.
A considerable furry was created in
London by the announcement of the with.
drawal of the French Minister, and the abb
scence a: the same time, of the Russian
Minister, from the dinner given in honor of
the Queens birthday. In the present tick
lish state of foreign politics, the newsmon-
gers found abundant material for alarm in
this coincidence of events. Ministers were
questioned in Parliament OH the subject,
and it is worthy of notice, that the explain
atoms given by two members of the cabinet
conuadicted each other. The Marques of
of Lansdowne stated in the House of Lords
that the absence of the French Minister
was simply accidental, and in no way
connected with any intentional design of
manifesting anything like disrespect," &c.
On the other hand, Lord John Russell, in
the Commons made the declaration that the
French Minister had been formally ecalled
by his government, in consequence of what
was regarded as ill treatment received by
France from England This, indeed, is
the true explanation. 1t appears by the
proceedings in the Trench Assembly on the
10th inst, that General De La Hitte, Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, assembled the Tri.
bune, and stated as follows :-Gentlemen,
in the sitting of Saturday last had the hon
or of announcing to the Assembly that, in
consequence of the failure Of our good Off
ces in the negotiation pursued at Athens,
the Government of the Republic had con-
sidered it lis duty to apply to the English
Government for explanations. The reply
which was given US not being such as we
had right to look for, considering the good
intelligence which existed between the two
countries, the President of the Republic,
after having taken the advice of his counsel,
gave me orders to recall from London our
ambassador. A loud burst of cheering,
clapping of hands, cries of bravo, bravo, "
ensued upon this unexpected announce
ment.
The French Minister states that the Brit.
ish cabinet had agreed to suspend hostilltieS
against the Greeks during the French me.
; diatlon for settlement of the dispute, but
that the agreement was broken by the Brit
lsh, for the purpose of getting better terms
If this is true, the French have cause fol
feeling offended. No explanation is given
of the absence of the Russian Minister
