Later from Europe.

QrEsEc, Juno 3.-Thc steamer Indisna
from LIVERPOOL, May 2lst, arrived during the
night; political news unimportant. In the
House of Lords, Monday, Earl VI Clarendon
in reply TO a question BY Earl Elgin, aid the
letter signed 4. Hammond y genuine does
ument. The agents Of Costa Rica, and some
Soath American States had since the attack
of Walker, appealed to England for assis-
lance to defend themselves. A great variety
Of projects had been laid before the govern
ment for acceptance; oil those requests Her
Majesty's government had refused, declaring
they would have nothing to do with Central
America, and ct the same time deploring the
consequences Of Walkers attack on Nicara-
qua, in which property had been sacrificed,
and that II his enterprises were carried fur
Their that their action would be limited to
sending naval forces to that coast sufficient
for tho protection OF British property. The
war department, in compliance with the ur-
gent request Of Costa Rica, had consented
to loan arms; but the arms had never been
taken by the agents Of Costa Rica, and the
government had consequently communicated
to the United States in the matter, and Mar
cy replied to Champion on the 5th Of March,
saying he disapproved of the existing state
OF things in Nicaragua, and that it would
cast a shade upon the reputation Of the Uni
ted States, and that If no better plan Of pro-
ceedings than for the United States and Brit
ish governments to combine for the protec-
ton Of their subjects.
Dispatches from Vienna state that con-
vention had been concluded between the
Porte and Western Powers, and that the
evacuation Of the Turkish territory BY the
allied troops would be completed in six
months.

Aswe presumed, the story about the MUIR
der Of eight pro-slavcry men by the Free
State settlers, is gross Misrepresentation.
Some Free State men did shoot Eve not eighty
pro-slaveryites but read this authentic state
ment Of the case, md say if they did not do
right. Mr.. Geo. \. Proper, who arrived at
st. Louis from Leavenworth on Monday last,
gives the following account to the Missouri
Democrat:
"Somewhere about the Goth of May five
pro slavery men assaulted one Free State man
with the view of hanging him for evidence he
had given before the Investigating Commit
tee. They had the rope around the mans
neck ready to swing him up, when some men,
presumed to be Free State men, secreted near
by, fred upon the party, each picking his
man. The FIVE pro-slavery men fell dead upon
the spot. The party who fred upon the pro-
slavery men are not known. Immediately
upon firing, they left; and the man around
whose neck the rope had been placed, on per-
ceiving the state Of the case, released him
self and departed"

nent engineers to testify that in their opinion
the bridge proposed TO be built would not be
"a obstruction 10 navigation. The Judge, on
that evidence. refused the injunction, but
said If II proved 10 Be an obstruction, the
Company would be liable for all the damage,
Thus it will be seen that it was not final judg-
mept as to the main question, of even sim
gle Judge, but contingent one. And that
the bridge, before it was burnt, actually ,cds
an obstruction, the opinion OF engineers in
advance to the contrary notwithstanding, it
is hardly necessary now to argue. Conse-
auently, in the opinion Of the Judge, the
Company are liable for all expense Of me-
cessary delays and unavoidable damage.
And we suppose, also, that it is hardly ques-
tionable but those desiring to pass may re-
move the obstruction by force; or at least
that an order Of court could be procured for
its removal, or for such change as in the
opinion of the court would render it no Ion
ger an obstruction.
But the bridge is an advantage to great
extent of country. II it can be kept stand
ing it ought to be. Probably it could be so
modified that little complaint would be made.
So far as we could gather the opinions of
steamboat men, if the centre pier stood
straight with the stream, the difficulty of
passage would be comparatively slight. If,
added to this, the opening over the channel
in the eastern space could be increased, say
one-half, we presume all objection would be
removed, nll substantial obstruction be
abated, and the bridge stand without being
the cause Of bad blood, or being liable to
impede navigation or endanger boats and
human lives. But that We are satisfied
ought to be done, and must be done. The
Company have large force engaged in re-
storing the bridge just as it was, but, We be-
lieve, contemplate procuring powerful tug
to take boats through. This intention is o
tacit concession, on their part, that the
bridge is really an illegal obstruction. We
do not believe that the remedy of tug will
be any thing like sufficient and satisfactory.
The rapid water, the narrow passage, and
the position of the pier, we be believe fur
nish too great nm obstacle for steam to over
come. We shall be mistaken if any other
remedy that that we have indicated proves
adequate. And we believe it is the general
opinion Of even steamboat men that that
will be.

figuring conspicuously in the ranks of that
party. These men are, according to their
own story, the very embodiments Of integr
rity and honesty Of purpose. They boldly
deolare, that they havc never changed their
political sentiments in the slightest degree,
that they stand now whore they always have
stood, advocating the same cause they al
ways have advocated. The party to which
these men have attached themselves, and
which has received them with open arms,
claims also, that it is Interchangeable, and that
it is precisely the same to-day that it was
years ago, when it opposed the Wing party.
1t claims more. 1t asserts that it is the
Same to-day that it was when Jefferson, AS
its leader, battled for the prohibition Of
Slavery in the northwestern territory.
Now, either the Democratic party has
changed, or these cold line" Wings have.
This Is evident, because little while ago
they were directly opposed to each other,
and now they agree. That is not oil.
One or the other is guilty of making false
statements. They both swear they have not
changed, and cannot change, while the sim
pie facts show that one or the other lies.
Surely, if the new converts have come into
the fold Of Democracy with lie in their
mouths, the party ought to purge them out.
And If the new converts are honest and
sincere, and the party they have joined is .
lying party, they ought by all means to seek
better COMPANY. Who are the traitors
Who have forsaken their former principles
Who have changed
COMMON SENSE.
