The News.
We have three days later news from Europe, re-
ceived by the America, which arrived at Halifax
Yesterday. The advices are to the 18th inst, and
are in some respects important.
The proceedings of the Zurich Conference had
been strictly secret; but from the fact that the sar
dinian representatives absented themselves from
several of the sessions it may be inferred that the
conferences were not altogether harmonious.
1t was reported in Vienna that the red republi-
cans in the Duchy of Parma had proclaimed revo-
luton, driven out the Pedmontese, and that the
friends of order were fleeing in every direction
This may be true, but some allowance must be
made in consideration of the medium through which
the intelligence is derived
There is report to the effect that collision had
occurred between Prussian and Austrian soldiers at
Frankfort.
A Russian loan of sl4,0O0 900 sterling, and an
Indian lean of Is 900 0O0 had been introduced in
the London market Consols on the 18th were
quoted at 95 95l for money, and 95t 954 for
account slight decline. The money market was
without change.
At Liverpool the cotton market had been dull, at
decline of one-sixteenth of penny on all quail
ties, but the 18th closed steady, with sales of
1000 bales.
There is no change to notice in the breadstafs
market
By an arrival at New Orleans we have accounts
from Minatitlan to he 4th inst. On the Isthmus
everything was quiet, although some apprehen-
sions were being felt at the report of another in
tended invasion by the bandit Cobos. The rains
had been very heavy on the Gulf slope, and much
sickness was prevailing at Minatitlan.
Accounts from Galveston to the 18th instant
state that the large maoritles already reported for
General Houston leave the election for Governor
no longer in doubt. Out of one hundred counties
from which returns had come to hand, Houston had
majorities in seventy nine and Runnels in twenty
one Clark was still believed to have been elected
Lieutenant Governor, and White Commissioner of
the Land Office; but the returns for these were
far less complete than those for Governor. Hami
ton seems certainly to have been elected to Con-
gress, though many counties are not reported.
We publish in another column some interesting
acts relative to the opening of streets in the city
of Brooklyn. The openings now under contract
exceed in amount the sum Of $5S0,o00.

Wright, the recently nominated candidate of the
democracy for Governor of New Jersey. Quite a
number Of distinguished politicians were presen.
display Of fireworks, toasts, speeches, &C., gave
spirit to the affair." and all passed off admirably.
The attention of the mercantile community is
now anxiously directed towards the NOV ements in
breadstufs, as upon these important products de-
ponds in great degree the future prosperity of
the country. We therefore publish in to-day's
paper accounts of the movements of breadstuffs at
the principal grain receiving and shipping ports OF
