thus made the run in little more than 81
days, notwithstanding a detention of several
hours of the port on account Of fog.
ERgldnd.-There is no news of interest from
England.
The London Star says: at need not any
longer be concealed that the Governments Of
France and England-that is to say, Louis Ma
leon and Lord Palmerston, are not on good
terms with respect to Spanish affairs; and CON-
munications are understood to have passed be-
tween them, Of anything but complimentary
character.
"We may as we'll state that an opinion has
found its way to the other side Of the Atlantic,
that England is ready to make every conces-
sion in order to obtain the friendship of the
United States, and that this determination has
been come to in the event of possible rupture
with France.
"This improved tone of the London journals
is interpreted in this sense. We have hitherto
hesitated to say so, because these matters of
great Importance should not be parsded merely
for the sake of raising public excitement; but
as the Paris correspondents of our own press
now begin to talk so much about the matter,
| reserve must be put aside, and the public should
be informed, that while there may be in reality
no danger, it is always serious thing to have
our foreign policy under the direction of Pre-
mier like Palmerston.
4" A contemporary announces that the Cen
trail American difficulty is solved satisfactorily
by convention between Honduras and Great
Britain"

Belgtum.-The Free Trade Congress Com
mittee, at Brussels, continued to receive the
adhesion of influential politicians in England
and other countries. Nearly every chamber of
commerce had appointed one or more of its
members to attend. The provisional commits.
sion for organizing the Congress consisted of
five of the most eminent political economists,
and they were active in arranging for every
detail. 1t was designed to keep the meeting as
free as possible from all exterior influences, in
the shape of schools or parties, and the appeal
was chiefly made to practical men to come
forward, and enable the Congress to reach
practical result. The committee had agreed
upon plan of organization by which the sit
tings and discussions we're to be regulated, and
the deliberations would be conducted more in
the shape of a committee of inquiry than plat
form effect.

since the sailing of the Cambria. Lard had
