,;,sntal news brought to HALIFAX by the steam
sh;n Europa yesterday morning, does not differ
,,,.r @ iaily from that brought by the previous
s,a,mer. Europe remains in unsettled aud
Ssnrbed state; and all the powers and polen,ates
.r.r.oG seem to dread some secret, but tremendous
,e,ubican conspiracy.
The tenants OF Ireland are playing off new

chartered vessels.
The Liverpool Cotton Market was dull; but

,cb improved The receptions of Kossuth, at
bo,h Southampton and London, were expected TO
h. the greatest and mos: enthusiastic ever gwen
in England upon any similar occasion. 1t having
hscome known that two females had left the
Austran capitol, fer the express purpose of
na,iug Kossuh, immediately upon his landing at
southampton, the Authorities of that city have
,,k en- great precautions to prevent the accomplish
m.ut of this blood thirsty design.
I learn from a friend that number Of plans for
tho ratification of the Island Of Cuba, have been
,bmitted to General Zarco del Vale, Director
General of Engineers for his approval: but accord
;ng 10 still later advices, the President of the
Sespish Council had proposed to his colleagues
1d sell the Island of Cuba and Puerto Rico to
Eagland for The sum of one hundred and fifty
m.liions OF dollars
A letter from Paris informs me that rumors of
Ministerial changes are again prevalent.
II was announced some time ago, that Colonel
Benton was preparing notes of his public expert
euce for publication; but, believe it is not gene
rally known that Martin Van Buren, is engaged
in writing a record of his 1t will not be
priuted until after his death. A friend who has
had peep al some OF the manuscript assures me,
as indeed | should have readily supposed; that it
is full Of revelations to the private manRuverng
and wire- workings Of the Locoioco leaders for the
last twenty years; and when the "little Magician
does shuttle off this mortal coil, and his historical
and biographical writings com. 10 light, great
deal of ..noise ana confusion" may be anticipated.
Perhaps Prince John may lay an injunction upon
the publication if it likely to conflict with
his personal aggraudizement While mentioning
books in embryo, must not forget 10 tell you that
Flz. Greene Halleck the distinguished wit and
poet, some of whose poems are admitted even by
the sury British critics to be among the finest
things in the English language, is now occupying
himself IN his retirement at his native town OF
GuIlIord, Connecticut, in writing the memoirs of
his lie aud tunes. lie has OteH leader IN
fashionable and literary society," for the past thirty
years. has travelled much both in Europe and
America, is intimate with most Of the eminent
men of the present, he was with those Of the
past generation, and if he WILL, he can, make
the mos; delightful book Of the kind that we have
ever had. Ii will be better worth reading than
either Benton's Van Buren's.
Much disappointment has been felt in the city
from the publication of letter said to be written
BY all officer on board the Mississippi, from which
it appears prOblematica whether the hero ko suth
will visit US at all. Thousands have been in joy
GUS anticipation of his arrival in New York; and
have pictured to themselves, the splendor and en-
thusiasm of the scene. No living man, believe,
can from Americans the reception which
kossulh can; aud if he does not come, the loss, l
am sure must be attributed to other causes than
the ilustrous Hungarian's dsincnation.
You have, of course, read his address to the
people of the United States. pity the man who
can read that address, without an unwonted quick
ening of the pulse, heaving OF the chest, and
gIbening OF the eye. The ISLANDERS which have
been circulated among us respecting the brave
Maygars, have had their design ned effect upon some
minds: but | trust, and believe, that every trace
of thai effect, will be oblit-rated by Kossuth's
grand vindication of himself, and his countrymen.
II is announced, that Prof. Pages Electro Mag
netIc Engine is to be exhibited at the Broadway
tabernacle, in ,his city, at the latter end of tins
wrrk. Ii will excite great interest; and hope
that the new power will eventually prove trum-
phanty successful.

Of unPrIncIPIed rascals. more than any other New
YORK Is that ,denilcai place. Not day passes
mat some act OF vainy is not perpetrated in the
open light ol day, by set of desperadoes and

brute iOrce been carried, and to such an extent
does now exist, that the city is in fact entirely
under It's control; and its hurtiul influence is felt
throughout all the ramihcatIons Of society. Our
