HALIFAX Feb, 2s-The Cunnard steamship Niaga-
ra from Liverpool on the 18th inst, arrived this fore
nocn bringing three days later advces from Europe
The Collins Steamship Atlantic arrived out on the
18th, and the Cunnard steamship Persia of the NOM
ing of the 14h instant.
The news from this side, pei Atlantic and Persia,
greatly excited the Liverpool cotton market, and
with an unsettled market prices were considerably
higher.
The Liverpool bieadstuffs and provision markets
were dull and without much change.
Money was decidedly easier.
Consols for money closed at 93i a.
The political news by the Niagara is not of an i'm
portant character.
The most important portion of the news by this
arrival is the rumored termination of the Persian
49,
Tie London News says that more troops will
he sent either to Persia Canton, and that the
British forces at Bushre will not advance into the
interior of Persia.
Every fort is being made to effect peace, and
there is every reason to hope that the negotiations at
Paris will terminate in amcable relations between
Persia and England
New troubles are brewing in Europe, growing out
of the question Of he principalitles.
The London Times says thai a satisfactory settle
ment of that question cannot bu, be endangered by
such al imprudent manifesto as that published Ii
the Monteur.
The Times further says that 1t will be the duty OF
England to declare positively against tempo'lzng
with the integrity of the Turkish empire and to act
with rmness and resoIutey in support OF The resoiu
ton taken against The proposed union OF the prlnc'
wolff

Thirty -Four1h Co0grt.s-rhird Session.

WAsHINGTUN, Feb. %, 1851.
SENATE-The Senate concurred in the House
amendments TO The submarine telegraph bill, which
is finally passed.
The Senate passed the Minnesota Stale bill, omit
ting the prohibition against foreigners voting.
HOUSE-Nlr Davis, of Maryland, called up the
resolution of the select committee for the expulsion
Of Mr.. Gilbert. A debate ensued, during which a
paper was read from Mr.. Gilbert, enying the truth
of The charges, aud demanding a trial. He asks hat
certain exparte testimony of Sweeny ami Simonton,
be produced and printed, deeming 1t necessary for
his Defence Mr. Bennett offered resolution 10 effect
that object, and moved to recommit the report.
Mr.. Orr said that Mr.. Simonton declined TO give
the names Of certain witnesses except condition
that they will not be published, the evidence was
merely surmise- of Smonton, and did not affect the
merits of the case After much debate, The original
testimony produced, from which it appeared that
omissions were made, going TO show that the chief
anxiety OF SWeeny was to convict tie accused
Mr. Purviance offered resolution fixing Tomorrow
at noon for the trial of Mr.. Gilbert. A long debate
ensued, during which Mr.. CoIfax pointeI out gross
contradictions between Trpett and Sweeny. Mr..
Glberts defence read. 1t assumes that the COM
mittee went beyond their powers, having only two
witnesses, Sweeny and TnpIett, who stand, by their
own confession accompIices in guilt, and who seek
to connect him with them, and thereby escape the
conseq uences of their ownadmitted acts. Mr.. Gil
bert asserts his innocence, but would cheerfully
abide the Judgment of the House. Mr. Benefits
resolution was tabled-ayes -, noes 100.
Mr.. Edwards said that Mr.. Simonton's testimony
false. Mr.. Davis justified the committee. The
House then adjourned. Mr.. Gilbert will be heard
