By Special Express from Boston. The foreign news which reached Boston on Sun- day at 4} o’clock in the afternoon, by the Britannia steainer from Liverpool, will be found at length in this day’s paper. We received it at this office yes- terday at a quarter before 2 o'clock in the after- noon, by a special express from Boston, run over the Great Western Railroad, and thence by Spring- field and New Haven to this city. It was brought on exclusively for this journal, and at a great ex- pense. Ata quarter before three o’clock we issued an Exrra Heranp for the city, and for several hours our office was beseiged by purchasers. We also sent the same news to all our correspondents south and west, as far as New Orleans and St. Louis. j This news is, in several respects, very interesting and important to this country— Particularly to the mercantile interests. In Liverpool, Manchester, and London, the mar- kets had become very buoyant and exci- table—the cotton market in particular, the prices of which had advanced, and large quantities been sold. This advance on cotton alone is equal to an addition of $7,500,000 on the stock now on hand in this cowntry. The provision market also had advanced. The effect of this news yesterday, on the markets here, has been great—and this result will be felt all over the South, as far as New Orleans. We believe the Exrra Heraup was the only one that gave a correct view of the markets abroad, Ta other respects the news is important. The President’s Message had been published very geue- rally in England, and was subjected to great sar casin and bitter reproach for its bold and naked allusion to the Oregon and Texas questions. Tne British Government and its organs have been than | der-struck vy Captain Tyler’s bold position—and their great consolation seems to be the hope that his presidency will soon be at an end, and that Mr. | Clay will be elected in his place. It is very evident that American affairs begin to excite more atten- tion in England than even their Irish Repeal ques on. On Irish affiirs, matters are as usual—quite dull and languid. Dan O’Connell is busy hunting in the moustains of Derrynane, and writing letters daily on Irish affairs. So Dan is still alive and kicking—aud Repeal and agitation yet seem to go ahead but slowly. We have also received private intelligence from London, disclosing to us the parties and persons who have contributed to establish a free trade paper here. The money is raised in Wall street, on security in Philadelphia, by parties in London. On the whole, the news is much more interest- ing and important, in a practical, a business, and a diplomatic point of view, than any we have receiv- ed for # long time. EIGHTEEN DAYs LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP BRITANNIA. By Special Expres: s from Boston. Opening of the French Chambers—King’s Speech—Rise in Cotton—Activity in the Market—Yovements in Ireland—Sstate of Spein—Arrival of the Overland Mat!—As- Sassination of Dost Mahomed—-lave Trade Money Market—Trade with China—at fairs in all parts of the World. The steam ship Britan arrived at Boston at aalf past 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. She was boarded immediately by our agent, and a special express started at 5 o’clock for this office. It arrived here at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. We have received London and Liverpool papers to the 4th instant. The Acadia arrived at Liverpool on the 80th ult. The Independence had arrived out. She carried the President’s Message. The packet "ship Europe arrived at Liverpool in 19 days passage. Money was plenty in London. Cotton was up. Great excitement in the market. Large sales. The state of trade in Manchester, and the manu- facturing districts generally, is improving ; and the London Times of the 4th, in an article advocating & more open and extended system ot international trade, represents the general result of the trade cite culars as highly favorable. There has been several more strikes among the workmen ia England. The weather has been remarkably mild in Enge land and France. The President’s message was published in full in the London Times and other English papers. We make a few extracts of their comments thereon, John Kennedy has been appoimed Secretary to the British Legation at Washiagton, in the place of James Hudson.

W. Jones Denn, of Virginia, and that of printer upon Gales Lea- der.” Tur Ties’ Opmion or Presipenr Ty, Messace he Message ot the American Pre dent, io which we adveried briefly yesterday, is rather an object of curiosity than of interest, and, when compared with other documents of the same nature, is remarkable only for its brevity, as it does nct exceed tour of our columns. This con- venient quality may be attributed to the same causes as its insignificance, -», the dearth of public events, and the character cf the person by livered. But short as it is by com- parison with its predecessors, it involves as much braggadocio, and impudence, as might be Saeed liom a production three umesas long, ana a President twice as great. Mr, Tyler—whose presidenual lustram is now drawing io a close— seems to have conceived, witn Pufl, the staruwg eflect which, would be produced by aa ‘ exit praying.” Like the rehearsing warriors in “ The Criue,” his last words are those of mixed suppli- tion and menace ; his pity is at odds with his valor; and though he does not introduce into his address the very lines of his prototypes, he certainly does centrive to | embody the spirit of their prayer :— | “Ob, Mars! “ Assist us to wccomplish all our ends, And sanctify whatever means we use “To gain them !” Much allowance must, we know, be made for retiring nta—as much, indeed, as for retiring Ministers. n dies in music; Ministers fade away in promises. He is about to lay aside the splen- le. Whatto him are the ditticulties or embarrassments of unknown successor? Sutticient for the day are the evils thereof, Why should he spare innuendo, or assertion, or irritating suggestion? Let those who follow him look to the consequences. So long as he departs with eclat, it matters not what he stores up | for future Presidents. Accordingly, after an exordium of which the length is more impressive than the piety, Presi- dent Ty ler congratulates hisjcountrymen on the rela amity between this country and the United States, “w! itis 40 obviously the policy of both countries to encour. age.” But scarcely has he completed his congratulatio when he illustrates these “‘relations of amity” by announ ing that “ the territorial limits of the two countries, in re+ lation to what is co! monly nown as the Oregon territo ry, still remain in dispute.” ‘The juxtaposition of the two nentences is curious, and may suggest ome prefitable spe- culations as to what’ was implied by the speaker, and un- derstood by his audience. When aman tells his country- men that there is a dispute between them and another peo ple, and at the same time reminds them that “it is so oby: ously the policy of both nations to encourage relations of amity,” we think it looks very much as though we were patting one on the back and decrying the other by implice tion. Lhe passage which immediately follows 18 too rich not to be re-quoted for universal admiration. The U, States would at all times be indisposed to aggrandize themselves (speaking of Oregon) at the expense of any other nation.” . > . . . ’ ’ This is excellent. Modest, contended, unassuming Uni ted States !—that never aggrandized themselves at the ex- y other nation—that never defrauded the In- Jian of his ‘hunting grounds, nor broke the faith of trea- ties with the red mau! And then “the principles of hon- which should govern the conduct of nations as well as uals ;” who does not admire the inflexibility of vountenance and voice which must be at the command of 1 President who could thus venture to add sentatives of repudiation? Either Mr. Ty: wag—a notorious wag—or, by the next mail, we shall hear of a suicit ancy in the representation of Penn= sylvania, . * . . . ’ ‘hus, the Oregon territory ie disputed ; while yet it is uniecided to whom it belongs by right, ‘the “hardy ad- veuturers” of the United States locate themselves in its imbignous prairies, andthe government of the United States are advised to distribute military posts init All very pradent, honorable, and high-minded this, and well worthy the consijeration of Lord Aberdeen, or whoever vlse may preside over the paulo-post-futnrum settlement of the * Oregou question.” But while the out-going President thus cheaply flatteré the anti British sentiments of the Congress by hints of rostile preparation, he does not neglect the opportunity vhich the Texian question affords fora little magnilo- quence. * * * * This is certain- ly holding a“ language of very unambiguous character” towards Mexico, and, albeit somewhat circuitons, not vholly unintelligible to Texas. We regret that it is not in our power to encourage any hope of any American bondholders that they are likely goon to have their debts paid. Mr. Tyler talks very prettily about embarrass. ments, confidence, faith and credit.” This is very fine ; but. unfortunately for the European creditors of the States, he proceeds to tell them that instead of being able to pay their debts, there will probably be a deficiency in the yeur’s revenue of more than 4,000,000 dollars. This piece of information may quiet the alarms of all Europe and America It would require more than Mr. Tyler’s elo quence to raise a loan in Europe even for a Mexican campaign. i Tue Great Wesreen ano Great Brrraix Sreamsuirs.— The Great Western is appoint ed to sail trom Liverpool, for New York, on the 27th April next,and the Great Britain is also appointed to sail from Liverpool for the same desti- nation, on the 25th May. Captain Hosken has succeeded to the command of the Great Brittin, and Captain Matthews, late principal officer on board the Great Western,has been appointed in his place. Tue Barris Queen Steamer.—The ‘Journal du Commerce d’Anvers,” of Monday last, gives ex- pression to renewed complaints of the constant ex- ense incurred by the Belgian nation in the muin- tenance, in the public basins at Antwerp, of th steamship British Queen, the vessel that was pur. chased, it will be recollected, ot the British and American Company for the purpose of establishing «direct communication between Antwerp and New York. Few will have forgotten the impression made on the public mind when the announcement of the sale of this steamship appeared, together with an explanation of the object contemplated by the Belgian Government in the acquisition, Some portion of the press ventured, in fact, so improbable did the measure seem, to give a very unceremoni- ous contradiction to the statement. Three propo- sitions are, indeed, made, in virtue of the govern- ment order ; they are—Ist, to sell the British Queen as she is. 2d. To dispose of the engines separate- ly, leaving the hull, tackle, apparel, und furniture tobe subsequently disposed of. 3d.’ To build a new steamer of less tonnage, and transfer the machinery from the British Queen to her, as well as such ma- terials as would be required. The Belgian Govern- ment had originally purchased the British and American Company’s steamer President, the vessel! that was unhappily lost, as well as the British Queen, the transfer of the two vessels being com- prehended in one and the same contract. Carratn Hosken, or THe Great Western.—We have much gratification in stating, that the under- writers at Lioyd’s, through the directors of the 3reat Western Steamship Company, have presen- ted Captain Hosken, of the Great Western, with the sum of £100, in testimony of their high opinion ot his nautical skill in having successfully accomp- lished sixty-fsur passages to and trom America.— Bristal Mirror. Mrs. Gitmour’s Triav.—Thisj trial was to take place at Edinburgh on the, 12th of January. We learn that Mrs. Gilmour received the intimation with the same simple unaffected demeanor which she has always exhibited tn her difficult and trying ituation, and she is understood to be rather pleased han otherwise that the long period of suspense, in which she has been kept, approaches to a termina- ion. This trial will be one of the most interest- ing which has taken place in the criminal proceed- ings of Scotland for several years past.

My Lord—I have the duty of transmitting to you an extract of @ letter from the Rev. Joshua Leavitt, dated Boston, Nov. 15, 1843, relative to the case of the seven slaves who have recently arrived from Florida at Nassau. Although it is probable that your Lordship may already be in possession of the facts through official channels, it scarcely seemed right to withhold irom the Government the contents of Mr. Leavitt's letter, on @ matter of such extreme and critical importance. A case of that class, concerning which the British public huve felt such in tense anxiety, and coucerning which, also, the British Government have given such distinct and reiterated pledges, hax now occurred ; and the eyes of nations—it might also be said the eyes of the world will be fixed on the proceedings which are taken with respect to it — ‘That the slaveholders will press the surrender of the parties with an unbridled impetuosity, cannot be doubted; and as little, [trust, may it doubted that the attitude taken by the British Government will be discriminating and firm, Ihave the honorto be, &c.

At the conclusion of the business of the day a dinner took place; and, on the withdrawal of the cloth,the noble Lord’s health having been given, he, in returning thanks, said:— Since the period when we last met together Ihave been, as you are probably aware, ut a considerable distance, not only from the riding, but from my native country; but, go where I would, I still found myself within reach of York. shiremen, (Loud applause.) 1 remember [ had scarcely landed in the New World when, having to ascertain the nearest way to the house which I wished to reach, | asked the first person [| met with toshow me the path, when. pointing in a particular direction, he said, “You will find that ihe gainest way” (Loud laughter ) Isaid, “1 am sure that is not an American word,” and a ‘good honest Yorkshireman he turned out to be.

Repeat Association, Dueutn, Jan. 2.—Even during these molaey times the gentlemen of the Corn Exchange find it difficult, in the absence o/ Mr. O'Connell, torget_ together any considerable number of persons to listen to their lucnbration. To day there was a beggarly account of empty benches; the building, which 1s calculated to contain several thousands, presenting an array of about 200 idlers, many of whom were women. | Dr. 8. Murrny took the chair, on the motion of Mr. J. O’Connett,, who proceeded to describe the advantages of all political agitation in general, and of that for repeal in particular, and referred at some length to the election of a Repealer to the mayoral- ty of Dublin. Having disposed of these subject: the hon. gentleman addressed himself to the de rations of the late Lord Mayor (Alderman Roe) a the corporation dinner last might, and stated the grounds on which he could not agree with that gentleman in his eulogiums on the pre. sent Government. With respect to the remark: of Mr. Roe about the forthcoming State prosecu- tion, he could only express his utter astonishment. Mr. Roe had talked of getting up an address to the Queen to forego those prosecutions. He and the other traversers had heard the declaration with astonishment. They had not expected any such proceedings, and in the name of himself and of the other traversers, for whom he thought he could speak, he would say, that whilst they acknow ledged the kindness and good willof Mr. Roe, he nust ask his pardon for telling him, that when he talked of getting the corporation of Dublin to make suoplication fer them, they wanted no supplication (Great cheering ) Asthey made no bravado, s« neither did they or their friends cringe or crouch before the threatened trials. (fear) They war ted no pardon, forthey had committed no crime— tiey required no supplication—they were ready 1 ibide the issue. He declared and protested, in thr name of the traversers, against any supplica- tion being nade for them, but if there were to be «ny prayer trom the corporation, let them not offer itto the Crown, but the people of Ireland te continue in their orderly and peaceful conduct (Loud cheering.) Having dilated on this topic for some time, Mr. O'Connell proceeded to set forth the extreme alacrity with which his father, old as he was, would enjoy himself in a dungeon, if i were for Ireland. His father had but one fear, and that was scarcely a fear—that in the event of his imprisonment the Irtsh people would forget his lessons of peace and order, and thus stain and blot the noblest cause that God ever blessed or man died for, (Loud cheers. } Mr. Sreeve expressed his feeling of gratification at this delightful univon of sentiment between John O'Connell and himseif, which was such that when they heard John O’Connelt they heard him (Mr. Steele); and he then read a letter trom Skib- reen testilying to the peaceable nature of th monster meeting there. A present of a little book was sent, on the motion of Mr. Steele, to a coun tyman of that district: for uttering the very re: markable sentence when explauing the reason o: that trangnility—"*We are att peace officers ove: one another.” Mr. J. O’Convett then read the following cor respondence, and concluded by moving the severa suggestions, which were carried unanimously:— “ Dernysane Ansey, Feast of St Thom: “My dear Ray—Make my apology to the fur not sending by this post my reply to the object!

Several infants of tender years were admitted Repealers on the payment of Is. each. : The rent for the week was £239 2s, 2d., which Mr. O'Connell compared with the amount of the corresponding time last year, as an apology for its smallness. A Kerry Repeal paper says: A meeting was held on Sunday last at the Chamber of Commerce, Tralee, for the purpose of taking immediate mea- sures for giving the Liberator a public dinner in that town, should it be compatible with his present wrangements to accept the invitation. A letter of invitation was accor ingly written, to which the Liberator has returned the following reply :— “ Dunnynane Anney, Feast of St. Stephen, 1843. “ My dear Supple—I am much delighted, and indeed ve- ry proud, of the invitation you have conveyed to me from the Chamber of Commerce in Tralee, to a public dinner. prior to my return to Dublin. Ishould be much pleased to accept that invitation, but it is to ally out of my power todo so.

The Courrier Francais quotes a letter from Rome, which announced that several new arrests for treasonable offences had taken place in that sity, but our private accounts declare positively that no danger of further disturbances existed in the Roman, or, indeed, Italian States in general. The National publishes a letter from Rome, an- nouncing that the utmost distress prevails in that city, Commerce, agriculture, and manufactures are in a deplorable state, and the only income de- cived by the shopkeepers is from strangers. Eruprion or Mount A1Na.—Rome, Dec. 5—A letter from Bronte, dated Nov. 28th, states that the eruption of Mount A2tna still continues.

It 1s understood that the Cabinet of Lon- don and Paris have agreed to allow the Greek go- vernment the space ot five years for the payment of its outstanding debt. Whether the Russian go- vernment will grant the like indulgence is not ¥et positively known, Morocco. A private letter from Tangier, dated the 1th of December, records the opinions o1 a French offi- cer, now acting as political agent to his Govern- nent, on the state of affairs in north Africa. Ac- cording to this authority, it is the interest of the fmperor of Morocco to be on good terms with France, for if France could go to Constantine in ‘our days, she could go from the Algerine territory o Morocco or Fez in as short a time. Once pos- sessed of Morocco, France could stop the supplies ‘or Gibraltar, where England might be starved out, srovided she were at war both with France and Spain. The agent believes that England sieeiied ihe Emperor and Abd-el-Kader, with arms and am- nunition, on the ground that in the last serious struggle with Abd-el-Kader in Oran, the French sncountered 5,000 Arab infantry, who were armed with English muskets, and equipped in the Ea- copean fashion. _ Indian We have received important intelligence from India this morning, Mails from Calcutta to the {9th November arrived at Suez on the 10th ult., nd were despatched immediately, and arrived at Malta on the 18th. ; From Loodianah there has_been received news of the probable existence ot Colonel Stoddart, but Captain Connolly, it is said, has been executed. he whole Lushkur since the 26th has been ina state of riot, the Makaraj having again reyolted, ind the troops of the Grand Jinsee having joined.

Itis said that the Khan sent several papers with his uwn seal to Cabul, stating that whoever should kill the Dost would go to heaven. This svent will probably lead to a suspension of any sfiort on the part of the Afighans to occupy Pesh: wur; but the upshot will Brpably be that Cabul it- self will fall a prey to Bokhara, an event which hove acquainted with the tate of affairs in that re- sion have contemplated as not improbable.

Letters from Naples speak of the great enthu- siasm excited by the appearance there of an artiste of extraordinary merit, called Fayante. To a per- son of the greatest beauty she is said to unite a voice of an extent scarcely ever known, enabling her to sing the parts of the pure contralto, the mezzo soprano, and soprano, with equal facility. Her voice, which is naturally exceedingly sweet, and at the sarne time powerful, has been brought to the highest perfection by a severe musical education. Every other theatre in Naples is deserted, whilst she nightly attracts overflowing audiences, at aug- mented prices. Nothing can exceed the enthu- siasin she has excited in that capital. a The recent death of Catalani renders Sinigaglia, her birth place, a spot of interest to the musical world. ‘The city is remarkable for the Bere of its theatrical performances. Last year they had Frezzolini, Barbieri, Nini, and Piombanti, as prime donne, Poggi, Castellan, and Lucchesi, as primi tenori, and Porto, Ploaee basso. In 1842 Teresa Brambrilla was one of the prime donne, lvunhoff and Lucchesi were tenors, Tamburini, Rosi, and Fallar, basses. An attempt was made to produce Guglielmo Tell, under the name of Rodolfo di Ster- linga, but a Government decr~e prevented its per- formance. ‘The opera of Bonifacio di Geremei, bi Prince Poniatowski, has been played pub ere success at the Teatro Argentine, at Rome, and was supported by Teresa Brambilla, Giacomo Roppa (tenor,) and Sebastiano Ronconi, Carlo Porto, and Francesco Fallar (basses.) The theatre is celebra- ted for the original production of Rossini’s Barbiére. Sebastiano Ronconi, according to an “ indignant” correspondent, has become a superior actor to his brother Georgio; and, certainly, trom our recollec- tion of Sebastiano at the Lyceum in the opera of Furioso, and of Georgio, at Her Majesty’s Theatre in 1842, we have no reason to discredit his state- ment. There are no less than four theatres now open in Liverpool, all of them, with the exception of the Theatre K iby licensed by magisterial authority to perform the legitimate drama. On Tuesday the Theatre Koyal opened for the season, with Madame Celeste and Mr. Webster as lessees, it having been for some considerable time deser ed from a tear to venture upon a speculation which had _ hitherto proved to many 60 se iously injurious. The prices of the lower boxes have been reduerd from 4s. to 3s. ; the upper boxes from 3s. to 2s. ; the pit from 2s. 6d. to Is.; and the gallery from 1s. to 6d. It may be worthy of remark, as an evidence of the revival of theatrical taste, that, notwithstanding the extraordinary attendance at the Theatre Royal, not a single place of amusement was without its respective support, trom which the the histrionic art, who have been doomed to la- mrnt the decadence of a once lar entertain- ment in this town, may trust that the taste for such exhibitions has not entirely passed away. ‘The Liver and the Amphitheatre were crowded to ex- cess; at the latter of which Carter and_his lions, and a clever French company of equestrians, form the principal attraction.

The explanation is, that whercas the reduction in 1842 introduced a new class of consumers, who were unable to purchase at the previ- ous high prices, the reduction in 1843, besides increasing contumption, caused a substitution of hetter teas at former rices, Hence, its operation being divided, ite effects in increasing consumption was not so great.
