from Europe,


Ey the arrival Of the steamship Africa, at this
port yeste day we have received one weeks later
intelligence from the Old World II was feared
ttat the injury caused TO this vessel, by her run
ling ashore on the Irish coast was so great az 10
prevent her from resumng her place in the Gu.
nard line for a considerable time; but her arrival
here proves tha. she sustained little or no damage
by the nishsp
The news by this arrival is very interesting.
The opening of the National Assembly Of france,

universal suffrage. This is amply broad aal
comprehensive. Considering the position Uaich
Kossu.h occupies, his avoEas make The pc

interesting than ever. The srss Of insurrscti0n
