ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA.
THREE Days LATER EUROPE.
HALIFAX, Feb. IA,


The steamer Europa arrived here at an early
hour this morning.
European affairs generally were in state of
quietude and the main interest was centerec in
tine Chinese and Persian questions.
correspondence ensued, and Dec. Sd the
British sent on shore copy Of the declara-
ton of war. The next day the British took
possession of Karat without opposition, as a
military depo. During the 7th and 9Th, the
British troops disembarked at Hallila Bay,
II miles southwest OF Bushire, the men land
ing with three days rations and without bag
gage. On the morning of the 9th, the army
IN two brgades advanced along the coast to-
wards the ships which were sailing little
ahead on the flank
The ship Assay, on coming abreast of Fort
Bushire, shelled it from a distance OF 100
yards, and dislodged the garrison, 800 of
whom took up anew position to oppose the
British advance. Brigadier Stovegard, was
shot dead, while waving on his men to the
attack. The British thereupon march on the
enemy, who fought sharply with the bayonet
until driven back upon the for, whence they
attempted to escape, but were met by the Bri-
fish rifles seaward and by the cavalry land
ward. The British loss is reported to be IS
men.
Bushire was then summoned to surrender,
and the channel naving been buoyed during
the night, the city was bombarded, and re-
piled steadily tor hours, and then surrend cred
when the British entered the town.
The British reported no loss in the feet
The Governor, commander Of tina fleet, and
one officer were made prisoners. The garri-
son being too numerous to retain, were escor-
ted some distance into the interior and there
liberated.
Bushire was proclaimed British territory

Reports are rife Of the abomir able conduct
Of the British after the capitulation Of the
town.
The Chinese war details are at hand con-
frmiag the telegraph accounts Of the trouble.
An extra Chinese mail Of Dec. 16, says the
factories have been burned by the Chinese.
and the only particulars are, that at IL O'Clock
on Sunday night the flames burst out in every
direction.
Vigorous efforts were made by the seamen
and marines to stop the progress Of .he
fire, but without success, and it ragged all
night.
Dopton 4 Cs.,s premises were the first to 60,
and all the Hongs were destroyed.
The only houses untouched when the stea-
mer left were the British Consulate, A. Hurd
g. Co.'s and one or two others in the English
Hong; Russell & Co.'s in the Swedish Hong:
Wetmore & Co.'s in the Imperial Hong,
and it was doubtful weather they would es-
cape.
The three barks, Oriental, Agra, and Mer-
camille were on fire with no hopes Of saving
them.
Admiral Seymore had withdrawn his men
into the Garden-the only refuge for tot
eigners.
What steps the Admiral intends taking Is
unknown. There is little doubt the city Of
Canton will not be spared, IS rockets anc

Our dispatches from Iowa City are so ftful

this week but very confused statement Of the
further proceedings Of the Convention. The
latest report we have is verbal one from a
traveller passing through our city. We learn
from him that the Convention has resolved
to adjourn on the 4th Of March, that most Of
the Committees had made their reports, upon
which the Convention was busilv employed.
The number of Judicial DISTRICTS are to be res
tricted to ten, and the salaries Of Supreme
Judges fixed at $2,00O, and District at $1,000.
Banking will be permitted, the system to be

EMANCIPATTON IN MISSOURI.

EMANCIPATION I'm MISSOURI.
The fast that the subject OF emancipation is
being agitated to considerable extent in Mis-
sour, is one Of deep interest to every patriot
throughout the length and breadth Of the land.
Though the party in favor Of emancipation
may be small as yet, and the prejudices Of the
multitude violent in opposition to it, it is new
ertheless cheering and hopeful sign, when
any have the manly courage to come ont firm
ly and nnequivocally upon it. 1t must be re-
membered that nearly every great reformatory
movement which has ever been made and car
ried through successfully has had small be-
ginning and been gradually developed.
The manner in which the agitation took Its
rise was this: The legis allure elected Mr..
Palm as Bank Director, and while his case was
under consideration, It was found out that he
had written letter containing emancipation
doctrines. This called out discussion during
which Mr.. Brown of St. Louis boldly and un-
quaiifedly avowed himself in favor Of eman.
cipation. From the Legislature the discuss
ion was communicated to the Newspapers, of
WAhSh tbC iutSSOWft DtWOCfus uiu TciIGlOuS
Journal Of the Methodist Denor1ination are
advocates of the movement.
If it can be prosecuted to successful issue
1t will be the greatest achievement Of the age
There is no State which is richer 10 its natural
resources than Missouri. Her commercial
advantages are perhaps superior TO those of
any OF the inland States, her soil is rich and
productive and her mines are inexhacsta ble.-
She needs only to be relieved Of the incubus
OF Slavery, in order to rise at once to the
front rank of States. As citizens Of COM
mon Country we have deep interest in any,
thing which will tend to full development of
her vast resources. Whatever adds to the
wealth and power and greatness of any one of
the States adds to the greatness of the whole
country. OF course we have nothing to do
with the matter except to hope for the best
IT rests solely with the people of Missouri to
act upon it. Meanwhile the movement of e.
vents will be watched with profound and una
bated interest not only by the people of Iowa
and the sister States but of the whole civilized
world.
