Price sixpence a copy, and cheap at that. The News from Europe. The splendid packet ship Liverpool, Captain El- dridge, was boarded at sea early yesterday morn- | ing by one of our clippers, and her news despatched overlandto the New York Herald office. This fine packet sailed from Liverpool on the 9th ult., and we have received papers to that date, inclusive. It is al- | most unnecessary for us to say that Extra Heralds | were immediately circulated throughout the city. | | After this the Zurich arrived from Havre, with | the same dates from France as those brought by the | | Liverpool from England. The intelligence, thus received at this office, is | not late enough to be of very great importance. It | isonly interesting as exhibiting the desire in England | for peace with the United States, and the earnest hope expressed by nearly all parties for a quiet and | peaceable settlement of the Oregon question. It is thought in England that the influence of Mr. Cal- | | houn, and a few others, on this side of the Atlantic, | | is sufficient to preserve friendly relations between | the two nations. No later intelligence from the | | United States than that carried out by the York- | shire, had been received in England, and the tone | of the public mind, in that country, continued, therefore, in pretty much the same state that it was | in when the Cambria and Toronto sailed. The news, in a commercial point of view, has its | | importance. The great debate on the new commer- | ial policy of Sir Robert Peel, was to begin in Par- | jiament on the 9th ult., the day the Liverpool left, | | and its result will, of course, be looked for with no | little interest. | | We give a complete history of the last Rnglish | ing legal question is now in discussion in the Su- | preme Court of this State. As this question is of | general interest, and may affect future action and | decisions in other States, we deem it not without its | use, ta call particular attention to it. | It appears, then, that one Potter, having been sen- tenced for petty larceny, to five years’ imprisonment and hard labor, was pardoned by the Governor, upon condition that he quitted the United States, never afterwards to return. The condition, it will | be perceived, was a sentence worse than the first | sentence; for that was only five years removal from | society—this was a perpetual_expatriation. It may | well be question whether the Governor has any | right whatever to pass a conditional pardon. In fact, | as it is a legal maxim, that a conditional promiee is no promise atall, so it would appear by parity of | reasoning, that a conditional pardon 1s not a pardon at all, but 1s rather commutation cf punishment. If, | then, a pardon is given on conditions, the pardon stands good alone, and the conditions are void, just the same as if afeoffment is granted on impossible conditions; they are a nullity, while the feoffment itself stands good. This is the first pot taken by the counsel for Potter. It is manifest that if it be conceded that a Go- | vernor has aright to grant a conditional pardon, without any restrictions as to the conditions, then, undar color of this right, he may arrogate to him- self, as he has done in this case, a most extraordina- ry power—no less than that of imposing pains and | penalties, and degrees and kinds of punishment, which the law does not authorise. Thus, in Potter’ case, the condition annexed to the punishment was | Tue Power or THE Governor.—A very interest- perpetual banishment from the United States. This | is the second point raised by the counsel in this | case. It cannot, surely, be contended that a Gover- | nor of the State of New York has the right or the | power to prohibit any one from entering in, and settling within the State of Missouri or any other State. But if Potter had gone off and settled justly contend that the power of our Governor | does not extend over the actions of men in other States, beyond that State of which he is Governor. | If, then, the Governor had not the power to set up | | such a condition, the condition is void, while the | | pardon stands as good as if there had been no con- ! | dition; for it being void, it is a pardon without any | | condition. The only case, we remember, at present analogous | to} this, is that of English law, by which, when a | criminal is transported, it is upon the quasi condi- | | tiom, that if he return he will be hanged. Many | | have been executed in England for so returning — | But in all such cases there is a statute expressly in- flicting the punishment of death on those who shall | | return from transpertation. Potter has returned | from banishment, but there is no statute that we | } know of to send him back to jail for this offence. Indeed, there is no such offence on the statute book as that of disobeying a Governor’s condition; and therefore it is evident there can be no punishment | for an offence which had no existence. | On the whole, the case is highly important and in- teresting, both in a legal and social point of view. | | i Foreten ARRIvALs.—Within the last few days | we have had several arrivals of packet ships and | | transient vessels from Europe, all of them laden | with merchandize for our enterprising merchants. | ‘The wharves present a busy and animated scene, occasioned by the unloading of these vessels, and | the loading of others which are to carry out to | foreign countries provisions of every kind.

ONE DAY LATER. HIGHLY INTERESTING NEWS. THE CRISIS IN ENGLAND, EX COTTON MARKET. &c, &c, &c, The Napoleon in the Express business, Mr. L. Bigelow, of the Boston, Fitchburg, Keene, and Burlington line, reached the New York Herald of- fice, at 12 o’clock last night, with intelligence from Europe to the 10-h ult. inclusive. This news was received at Boston yesterday morning about ten o'clock, by the splendid ship | Sunbeam, Capt. Winsor, which sailed from Liver- pool on the 10th. The moment she was announced, our special mes- senger, Mr. Bigelow, boarded her, obtuined the Liverpool Standard of the Jatest date, and came ex- press to this city exclusively for the Herald. Our messenger came to New Haven over the ex- cellent Hartford and New Haven Railroad, and from New Haven by the swift and splendid steamer New York, Capt. Peck, who made extraordinary time to this city. We are thus enabled to anticipate the Holy Al- liance, and all other sorts of alliance. The beat will be a warm spring like sunbeam to them. The news is one full day and three hours later than that brought by the packets which have ar- rived here, and it is cheering to the cotton dealer. And it is interesting to the statesman and philo- sopher, or to any other chap who happens, at this moment, to be watching the crisis in the commer- cial, financial, and political policy of (#reat Britain. According to the latest accounts frora the canton ot Berne, the population had declared, by an im- mense majority, in favor of the convocation of a constituent assembly. The excitement was very great ; trees of liberty had been planted on different points. Sir Robert Peel’s health has not been of late so good as usual, and it is said that lady Peel is very desirous that he should retire from the fatigues of office. The Crisis in England. [From the Liverpool Standard, Feb. 10) In a crisis like the present, when so important a change in the policy of the Government is pending, it may be interesting to our readers to learn how that change is regarded by the representatives of this great commercial communitv. We are more read- ily induced to supply the information from the fact that during the week, some idle gossip has reached our ears disparaging to one of our Hon. members, which none who have observed his past integrity of conduct, and his inflexible adherence to those principles, the profession of which secured him the confidence of theConservative electors ot Liverpool, would wish to remain uncontradicted.

Free Trapg in Conn.—Our readers are probably not aware of the fact, but within the last few years, we have had a perfectly free trade in grain, though certainly not for along period,—the exemption from duty having lasted just one day. It will probably be recollected, that Sir Robert Peel’s corn law came into operation on the day before the weekly aver- ages were made up under it; and certain parties, among whom wasa house connected with this town, cleared a large quantity of grain, paying the duties under protest, on the ground, until the averages had been duly made up, no duty was payable. They subsequently brought an action against the collector of customs, at Liverpool, for a restitution of the amount of duties so paid; and a verdict having been given against them, brought the matter, by writ of | error, before the judges in the Exchequer Chamber. That writ oferror has just been decided; and the re- sult is, (iat goyecammens will have to repay to the par- ties all the duties which they had received on the day in question. The matter was brought before the judges, and, on Tuesday last, the their lordships was delivered by the Chief Baron. parties are entitled to a return of the duties, but that they have a claim for depreciation of falling market.

It 18 impossible at present to give accurate information of the amount of mo- ney involved in this decision ; but, from what we learn, we believe it is upwards of £150,000. holders of bonded corn and flour, at the time the ice by a | act passed, are, we learn, inclined to try the ques- tion how far they had a claim for the release of their property from the locks of government.

Parx THeatne.—The fine comic opera of “Don Pas- quale” was performed last evening at the Park Theatre, to a large and highly fashionable audience. We have already given an extended notice of this opera, and need only say that last evening the character of the opera and the artistes were fully sustained. We have no doubt this opera will have a Jong run. It certainly contains some very fine gems. The serenade, inthe second act as given by Mr. Frazer, is the most perfect thing of the kind we ever heard. It is our very beawideal of a sere- nade, and we presume it will be sung yet in the cars of many a fair American damsel. The evening closed with the new drama of the “Backwoodsman.” This drama affords the inimitable Dan Marble fine opportunity to display his peculiar talent. The same bill will be given this evening, when we expect to see a crowded house.

This meeting was fully attended, and although there was some little oppesition to the objects of the meeting, a apirit of inquiry was awakened which will not stop there. All these meetings plainly in- dicate the desire for reform, and will affect the bal- lot box considerably at the ensuing election. City Intelligence.
