Arrival of the Steamers Africa and WASH
Acknowledgment News.

The arrival Of the Africa and the Washington
steamers, at this port, from Liverpool ana from
Southampton, respectively after short passages, has
put us in possession Of our files of European jour
mails. and of our regular correspondence. The news
is one week later and that connected with the
cotton market which shows another advance IN this
staple has been received with great satisfaction In
this metropolis, such result being scarcely antici
rated American securities have advanced also IN
London.
The English news is highly interesting. The
Ecclesiastical Titles Bill has been read second time
in the House of Commons, by an overwhelming
majority. Miss Talbot's case has added fuel to the
flames and will lead to legislative interference with
the Catholic customs and privileges. OF course,
here will be severe struggle; and when Lord STAN
ley runs against the popular Protestant current IN
the House Of Lords, the excitement will be at ITS
height.
The reception Of the United States frgate st.
Lawrence at southampton, is fully noticed else
where that further comment Is unne ,essary for the
present.
There seems 10 be a full belief in Europe, that
with the warm weather of spring there viii be warm
work on the part Of the European revolutionists
We have frequently mentioned June as the moath
most likely to exhibit outbreaks, but our adyices
place the proba bity early as May. II Is quite
evident tina, a very important organization l. going
on which may be accelerated and rendered more
important by the fact that the Worlds Fair will
act a cloak for the designs Of those engaged in
the work.
The news from Italy, France, and Turkey, viii
be found interesting 10 the reader; and we refer,
in consequence Of the crowded state of our columns
to correspondence for an Calculation Of the IN
telligence generally.

About O'Clock, this morning disastrous fire
broke out in the store No. $50 Broadway, occupied
by hessrs. Hudson Robertson, which spread with
such rspidty that in q comparatively short time
the whole building in flames The hremen, with
their usual promptitude, were on the spot as soon
the alarm rung but notwithstanding their
vigorous efforts the flames got ahead Of them
The next store being Coopers gun and pistol shop the
fremen entered for the purpose of removing any gun
powder that might be contained therin On Investigation
they found only twenty poun Dc Of that dangerous
ticle which contained in tin kegs As this
removed they commenced playing upon the Howard
House. which was in imminent danger aud which,
1t seen, would become prey TO the

Immediately hurried out; and "a usual in such

the consequence was the usual amount Of breaksge.
The powder, however having been taken from Coopers

An efficient police force was in attendance during the
fire. who maintained order and enabled the remen to
perform their arduous duties.
Our reporter was not enabled to learn whether the
stores destroyed insured The Howard Hotel
saved, although the building sustained serious
injury. As it discovered by the in
mates Of that hotel that the whole building
in danger of being destroyed they fastened
to bring in their property expeditousy they took
out the first alarm Many of them being strangers in
New York, did not know but that the hotel would be
wholly destroyed Besides the in which the fire
