The news from Europe is four days later than pre-.
yous advices
AD extended agitation against the income tax
prevailed in England and the war lately undertaken
against China was condemned at many public meet
mgs. Advices had been received from Canon dated
on 25th of November which represent hostilities
still proceeding in that quarter. The Viceroy hav-
ing offered reward for each head of an Englishman
brought in, some of the Chinese had killed few
Americans in mistake, which inceused our country
men much against them. However, Commander
Foote had ordered the United States forces to limit
their exerions to the protection If American life
and property. The Persian corps d'arm6e sent into
the province of Ferab had occupied the fortresses
Of Gourian, Lach, and Djoulne, situated
in Serdestan and Ferah. The army Of the
Shah had established itself without difficulty on
these points.
The Swiss journals say that their legislators aud
people have obtained an honorable peace, but it
was reported on the Paris Bourse, on the evening
Of 18th inst, that the King Of Prussia had refused
10 accept the terms proposed and the money market
ritory ce5ed to Russia by the Paris Congress is de-
serioed as verv important portion OF Bessirabia.
The accounts from Central America are very
interesting. They relate principally to the move
pents of the allies 1t is also stated tina. COL Lock
ridge, of Walkers army, had advanced, and taken
up strong position at the junction of the San Juan
and Colorado rivers, thereby enabling him to cut oil
toe supplies of the enemy.
There was great excitement in this city yester-
DAY among the Nicaragua and Walker men. The
steamship Tennessee, which TO have sailed ia
the forenoon, was delayed on account Of damaged
paddle wheel. She is expected TO leave to-day at
noon. A great quantity of rifles, ammunition, pro
visions, &C, put on board. The United States
authorities visited the ship and made several ar
rests. Among them were Colonel Fabens and Alex.
G. Lawrence. The former being Ncaraguan Off
Ger, refused to acknowledge the authority for his
arrest and consequently would not accept any bail,
but went to prison. The prisoners will all be
tried a. twelve O'Clock to-day. Mr.. Brown and
Mr.. Fuller have made a1idavits that the prisoners
hired them as soldiers for General Walker, while the
prisoners declare tia. they saw these wit
nesses t after the latter had made their aidayits
against the former. There are curious deyelope-
meuts in the case, and they will probably bsoome
St anger by the examination 10 day. A full, int
resting AID graphic report OF everything in relation
- these matters will be found in another column.

finding Of new gold fields was confirmed a. Me-
bourne. Coal had also been found. The old dig
gnSs yielded plentifully.
The news from California is not important, but
we sre nevertheless enabled 10 offer quite number
of interesting items Of general intelligence. II was
thought that law, already framed would be imme
da;ely passed by the Legislsture-w assembled
or the 5th inst to pay the State debt, which had
been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court. The bill would probably pass by nearly
unanimous vote and no opposition would be offered

only 81, les $40 In specie, which is a considerable
falling Oh from the average shipments Of last year.
