news from Europe. !. win be seen by the extracts
which we make from the London papers that great
excitement continued to prevail in England on the
subject of the pending differences with this country
AN the English journals deprecate conflict be-
tween the two nations as one of the greatest mis-
Sortunes that could befan humanity; and the Lon
Don Nsscs says that such contest could only be
regarded in the light of q civil war; The London
and Paris money markets of course re echo sensi-
lively the doubts and hopes expressed by the news
papers. and exhibit constant tendency to fuctua,
sion. The failure OF NJ. Henri Place, formerly
member of the well known banking house of Noel
l. Place. and one Of the administrators of the Credit
Nobiler, has had very depressing influence on the
French funds. His liabilities are about three-quar
tiers of million sterling, and his available assets
are exceedingly small. The administration of the
Credit Moblier will, however, suffer but slightly
from M. Places failure. Austria and Sardinia are
firing paper broadsides at each other preliminary to
a more serious contest. Count Buol has issued
counter circular to that of Count Cavour the TIA
han question: in which he declares that all the dis
orders that prevail in Italy are to be at.
tributed to the influence Of Piedmont. The
feeling between the Courts of Vienna and
st. Petersburg does not seem 10 be Of
. more friendly character; the visit of
ahe Car to Berlin being regarded as demonstra-
sion against Austria. Having adjusted, after his
swn fashion, the peace Of Errope Louis Napoleon is

races preparatory to realizing his scheme Of uni
versal dominion.

produced no effect upon prices for cotton in this
market. The sales were confined to about ], 900 a
1000 bales without change in quotations. The
news from New Orleans and Mobile of the l4th
inst give advices of a great decline in receipts,
which, in the former port, were only $500 bales
during the last week, against IL 900 for the same
week last year. and at Mobile the receipts were on
" 600, against q 900 bales for the same time in

Manchester and Liverpool have it is believed, been
more or less acting under the impression thai The
crop sent to market would reach 100000 ,7OO,-

day, via Boston, will tend to undeceive them.
