Al IL o'clock on Saturday. the u. S.
Mail Steamship, Pacific, the fastest Ocean
Steamer in the world left her wharf in this
city, for Liverpool. She carried out S92s,
600, in American gold, 5000, in English sill
yer, an, l6s pa sscngers.
The Europa arrived at Halifax, from Liv-
crpool, at a quarter before nine, on Tuesday
morning with 90 rasscneers.-The weather
in England, during the week preceding the
EWopd's departure, was warm aud genial
and the corn and grain crops were in the
most healthy state. Trade and commerce
continued to improve.-lhe war in Algiers
had been brought 10 n conclusion by the
suppression OF the rebellion.
The Telegraph Informs us that the Eu-
ropd got in to Boston, nj ) O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, but sends us no information that
we have not alreaday received from Halifax !;
so the inference is that the news from Eu-
rope is not very important. We shall prob
ably get our letters and papers by this after
moons mail.
An American gentleman is negotiating
with the English patcniee of the " Fire An.
nihilator," for its exclusive use in this coun-
Try. The sum required 10y the inventor for

thus describes an experiment which he wit

We filled The barrel half full of pine shn-

One of the llutchinsons told me short

iration of the ignorance Of Englishmcn, a
few years ago, in relation to American mat
tiers. But the row about Oregon, the Mex
lean War, the California excitement, our
triumphs in Ocean Steam Navigation and
various other events have Of late opened the
eyes of the intelligent portion of The Eng
llsh and they ore now ready to admit that
we are not only 'chic, and speak tolcrably
good English, but, that we are even in adj
vance of the mother country. in some re.
spects; as will be seen by the following cA>
tract. from the last number of the London
Court journal, the pei organ of the English
Arisocracy. The extract is from an article
on Queen Victoras equestrian skill which
the writer gives an ornate description o
her riding costume, on some particular oc.
cason, after which, he says: " But, wha
renders this unique and elegant costume The
more valuable in Her Majesty's estimation
and an Object of peculiar interest to Ilei
Maicsiy's loyal subjects is, the fact that i
is made entirely of India Rubber, and wa
presented TO Her Majesty by Mr.. IIorae,
II. Day, OF New York who, we believe, i
the Oldest and most extensive manufacture
OF lndiarubber goods in the world. w,
had never supposed it possible that sucl
beautiful fabrics could be made from caout
chouc ; bu, judging from the variety of ele
CANT specimens sent hither by Mr.. Day
there i, hardly any limit TO its application
not only in the manufacture Of articles O
comfort, for the masses, but also of NOR,
costly and elegant productions, that shall
oven be worthy to suhserve the refined taste
