By the arrival Of the Europa 1t Halifax yester-
day We have European news to the morning Of the
9Th inst. three days later than the accounts re-
ceived by the Great Britain. and also late adviees
from India and South America.
Nothing of importance had transpired respecting
the peace negotiations, but 1t was expected that
treaty would be signed at Zurich on the 10th or 18th
inst. The accounts a. to the berigerent aspect of
aAAirs IN Italy and France, received by the two or
three last steamers, appear to have been greatly
exaggerated
The Official correspondence of Col. Bruce, the
British Minister to China, relative to the action at
the river Peiho, had been published. He approves
of the course pursued by our Minister, Mr.. Ward.
Several disasters to American vessels are re-.
ported. The particulars are given In our summary
Of the news.
Tho London money market and the Liverpool
American produce markets had undergone no
change of importance.
The disturbances at Hsrper's Ferry are at an
end. Quiet ia restored to that romantic village and
soon things win resume their usual appearance
there. The Eve prisoners who fell into the hands
Of tho troops were despatched yesterday, under a
STRONG escort, to Charestown, Va, where they are
to 10 indicted for murder and tried. The Circuit
Court opens there tomorrow. Brown, who is not
dangerously wounded, il among them. They are
to be prosecuted by the Stats and in case Of their
not being convicted capitally, are to be handed
over to the United States authorities to be tried for
treason. The house Of Oasawattomie Brown was
searched. and An immense quantity Of arms
and ammunition discovered, together with the
constitution and ordinances of the conspi.
rators. and letters and documents which
show Gerrit Smith, Joshua r. Giddings, Fred.
Douglass, and other notorious aboltiouists and
black republicans to have been mixed up in the
ahair. Brown also made full statement to Gov.
Wise. The connection Of Gerrit Smith with the
outbreak Is curiousIy foreshadowed in his recent
letter to the managers Of the Jerry Rescue cele-
bration, IN which he speaks confidently of the i'm
minence Of servile insurrectonary movements in
the South This letter is printed elsewhere, az It
serves, along with the Rochester programme of
VIM. Hseward, to lead to full appreciation Of the
objects Of Brown and his crazy followers.
The quadrilateral journal Of this city, which is
always pretending to give news in advance of all
Its neighbors, has recently shot terribly ahead in
regard to the late Senator Broderick's property It
has just made . statement to the effect that the
deceased had left property varying from 100000
70 s1Ov~oo N value, and that by his will he gave
$1,000 to the Protestant and Catholic Orphan
Asyiums OF san Francisco, with certain other NUM-
fcent requests to his friends Now that the Cali
fornia Journals have reached Us, we find that there
Is not the slightest truth in the statement. The
property Of Mr. Broderick does not, in fact, reach
$4,000, as has been shown in the Probate Court
Of San Francisco. Besides, so far from having
made the requests invented by the quadrila.
teral journal, It has been further shown that
Mr.. Frederick died without making win at ALL 80
that the charitable institutions whose hopes and
anticipations Of substantial aid have been raised
and fattered by the unfounded statement will have
the melancholy opportunity Of discovering how
they have been deceived by the latest quadrateral
intelligence.
