Shannon, which arrived on Saturday, we have advices from New York to the 7th, and from Boston to the Bth instant.  The Europa sailed from Boston on the Bth, and at 11, a.m., on the 9th, passed a large steamer off Seal Island. She arrived at Halifax at 1, a.m., on the 10th, and, after a detention of 2 hours and 10 minutes, again proceeded to sea. On the 12th she passed the barque Glasgow, of St. John's, N. 8., bound west. She arrived in the river at 5 30, p.m., on Saturday, having made the run in 9 days 22 hours and 40 minutes.  The Europa brought 174 passengers from Boston and Halifax, and 4104,000 in specie on freight. The Royal Mail steam-ship Canada arrived at Boston at 6, a.m., on the Bth instant.  1 A brief telegraphic dispatch from New Orleans reports the arrival at that port of the Daniel Webster, with advices from San Francisco to the 16th May.

The trial of Capt. Molony, of the Roscius, for the murder of two seamen, on the passage from Liverpool, was proceeding in the United States District Court. The New York State legislators had made an excursion to Niagara Falls. During the excursion a humorous party crossed over to the British side of the falls, attended by a band of music, and on the piazza of the Clifton-house jocosely declared the independence of the province, hoisted a striped handkerchief as a substitute for the republican flag, appointed a provisional government, and annexed Upper Canada to the United States, the band playing Yankee Doodle, and the amused crowd of Canadians and Americans applauding this bloodless coup de main. The Memphis convention had commenced its session, and was largely attended by the southern and southwestern people. Sufficient stock had been subscribed to build one steamer for the Baltimore and Liverpool line. The Alton (Ill.) Telegraph reports the escape of slaves. It says. " Slaves are running away from Missouri, at the present time, in battalions. Three belonging toMr. R. Meek, of Weston, ran away on Wednesday of last week, two of whom were afterwards apprehended. They were making for the plains. Fifteen made a stampede from Ray County, the week before, and took the line of their y,fobrutlothwea.lar Seers- enr au lna bweerr e made c a p tur goode d t hi ne i r Ge sr cuanpdey. mC oa ur cn ht It would be a glorious thing for Missouri if all her slaves I should take it into their heads to ' run away. If she only knew it, they are one of the greatest drawbacks to her advancement and prosperity." Halifax papers report that the provincial fishing schooner Velocity had been driven from St. George's Bay by a French cruiser. The transports Lady Clark and Thomas Arbuthnot had arrived out with troops. Havana accounts, to the 2nd instant, state that the captain-general had severely reprimanded the professors and masters of certain schools for teaching the scholars too liberal opinions. He, at the same time, expressed his determination to suppress such instruction.
