European news, the stockholders disapproyed of
the conduct of the Board by decided majority,
and placed the news-m in their places. The lat
ter promptly evinced their sense of Justice, and
their appreciation of the general telegraph rules
of the country, by ordering the immediate abroga-

news sspeculators, and also instructing the opera

should be, perfectly satisfied. The first steamers
report, under the new arrangement, came through
from Halifax direct last evening, and we presume
