We have four days later news from Europe. The
steamship Baltic which left Liverpool the after
noon Of the 25th ut arrived at this port yesterday
forenoon, bringing our European files dated in Lon
don on that morning, and in Paris on the evening of
the Oath She also brought $40 $50 In specie. The
financial intelligence is very interesting. Mercantile
confidence extended in London after the America
sailed on the 2lst, notwithstanding the serious
aspect of the Bank of England returns, and nearly
100000 of Australian gold was sold to the bank
during the day. This state of good feeling is repre-
scented being more distinctly visible on the 23d,
when 100000 in bullion was taken to the bank.
A good many additional failures were reported on
Change during the oath, but money plentiful and
short loans on government security were had at
from six to per cent. Consols closed on that
day at s9S 80 for money and at 80 90 for 18th inst
Notwithstanding all this it appears that the fnan-
cia crisis had then embraced the entire continent
Of Europe in its range-Spsn at one extremity and
Russia at the other having become involved. The
