The steamship Hibernia, Capt. Ryrie, arrived at Boston at an early hour yesterday morning. She sailed from Liverpool on the 19th ult, The intelligence is of the highest importance in @ commercial point of view. The political news may also be important. Of this, however, nous verrons. Cotton had gone up a farthing, with large sales. The London Money Market was very easy and it was sapposed that the Bank of Eng! would make another reduction in the rate of in- terest. There appears to be some © between France and England relativ: > marriage of the Queen of Spain. It is: 2 marriage has been broken off. Itis s willlead to & serious rupture in the ¢ ule. The potatoe crop has turneu complete failure. The wheat crop is a full average. The gevernment of England and the people of Spain have wanifested so much hostility fof the Queen of Spain’s sister to Louis Philipye’s youngest son, that the cele- bration of the ‘auptials has been postponed for the present, if rot forever. Tho immediate conse- quence is @ tremendous war of words between Fngland, france and Spain. The remote conse- quence ill probably be the destruction of the ententg cordial, which has so long existed between tha courts of St. James and St. Clond. Itishoped that the sudden extinguishment of the fires on the altars of two young hearts, will not prove the means of exciting a general conflagration among to the mar: the crowned heads and kingdoms of Europe. The total failure of the potato crop appears to bea sad reality. Every where in Ireland, and in the greater part of the Brit'sh Island, the potato fields are shrouded with the dark mantles of the plague. The vegetable has turned into putrid matter, which even the hogs will not devour.— From the continent of Europe, including Russia, ‘we have dismal accounts of the progress of the blight. The future use of the potato, asan ar- ticle of food, is now almost abandoned. At the latest date, 18h September, American fiour was selling at twenty-nine shillings to thirty shillings per barrel, duty paid, at Liverpool. The price in bond, was twenty-seven shillings and six- pence. The English markets for foreign and colonial produce have latterly assumed a more animated and healthy appearance. Indian corn was quoted three shillings the quar- ter higher ; and closed at forty shillings for yellow and forty-seven shillings tor white. The Bank of. England has declared a semi-an- nual dividend, 3} per cent. The Gazette de Cologne says it has been announ- ced for some time that a measure will shortly ap- pear prohibiting the exportation of corn from the territory of France. Accounts from Paris dated 17th September, announce that a dispatch had been received con- veying the intelligence that Don Carlos, the Spa- nish pretender, had made. his escape, and will probably prcceed to Spain. In the affairs of Spain the escape of Don Car- los from his imprisonment is likely just now to have important influence. Foreign Stock, particularly Mexican, Spanish and Portuguese, owing to the unsettled state of those countries, has receded. Itis aremarkable fact, that, while we hear of the potato disease in every other part of the world, in ne Shetland Island, the poorest of soils, th Ultima Thule of Britain, it is unknown. ae ‘When 2,619 miles of line, now constructing, are added to the 906 miles already completed, France will posses 3,525 miles railway.

Ireland. This country, which has so long been the “‘dif- ficulty” of the British eee is at present in a horrifying and pinful plight. Famine, with its numerous and dreadiul train of diseases, knocks at the doors of the great majority of its brave and hardy population. Already has the cry become universal, ** Give us food, that we perish not.”— The workhouses, which the Irishman hates in his heart, are being filled more and more every day; and, according te present appearances, the lower classes, with few exceptions, must, ere long, be- come one general mass of paupers. The newly- installed government is, itis true, fully alive to the poverty and destitution which prevails through- out that country. Lord Besborough—an lrishman by birth, a resident landlord, and a philanthropic statesman—is endeavi ring to outdo his predeces- sor inoflice. Accordingly, we are informed that he is prepared to sanction an assessment of a mil- lion and a half, t meet and avert the impending danger. He is, therefore, applying the provision of the labor act, to which we alluded in our last, upon an extensive scale. He has ordered the hold ing of extraordinary presentment sessionsin eighty baronies, extending over twelve or fifteen coun- ues. In our last, we mentioned that the Earl of De- von and other landed proprictors, had shown an opposition to the principles, or rather details, of the Poor Employment Bul. Since then, Mr. Smith O’Brien, the leader of the Young Ireland arty, has addressed a wordy letter to Lord John ussell. The object of Mr. O’Brien’s letter is, to point out the inefliciency ofthe means which Go- vernment are devising to provide food for the peo- ple. His suggestion is to call Parliament together in the month of October ; this, however, is not to be the Imperial Parliament, but a meeting of the Irish members in College-green. The letter is too long for insertion in our columns. In connection with the subject which Mr. O’Brien writes to the Premier, we may observe that the chief Secretary Mr. Labouchere, has addressed a circular to the | several lieutenants of counties in lreland, which contains instructions to the magistrates how they ‘ings have been held at several places for ling means to relieve the distressed through- ou tricts where want has already set in. ‘hi important of these has been at Cork, where the Earls of Bandon and Mountcashel, Viscount Bernard, M.P., besides several other ot that the Irish landlords, various charges, derived fro! their estates only free discussion of their differences ‘between them and Young Ireland.

The advices from Paris are of the 17th ult, Some of the newspapers, more particularly the Presse, continue to advocate the immediate un- dertaking of cutting through the Isthmus of Pana- ma. The exhibition of the products of Chinese indus | try, &c., collected asa guide to mercantile men in making exports to China, continues. to attract greatattention. It has also given occasion for se- | veral lengthy lucubrations in the newspapers, as to the prospects France has of finding a market for her merchandise in the Flowery Land. Gene- rally speaking, these prospects are not consider- ed very flattering, the Chinese caring nothing for French wines, nieknacks, or even silks; and as to calicoes, and cloths, and such things, they ob- tain them better and cheaper from the English and American. Thenewspaper, La Pressc, how- ever, exhorts French merchants not to be discour- aged, and expresses a belief that eventually ages’ fing may be made of the China market. “Mean while the worthy journal consoles itself with the assertion that ** the French have gained the sym- joog' of all classes in China,” and that, though eaten all to nothing in commerce by those mo- ney-making jfellows, the British and the Ameri- cans, they, the aforesaid French, ‘‘ may boast of | aglorious triumph for their ideas.”” Certes, none buta Frenchman could find satisfaction in state- ments so extravagantly and so ludicrously false. The statement of the United States paper, the Boston Advertiser, that the natives of Papiite, in the Otaheite Islands, had driven the k'rench and and compelled them to seek refuge on board the French vessels, is de- European inhabitants away, nied on the authority of the Government. That there is no truth in it is proved by the fact that the Gove:nment has received accounts to the 17th April, two days later than the events are alleged to have occurred ; and at thattime the French possessions were declared to be in perfect secu- ity. ‘ the radieal and republican party at Le Mans having proposed to dine together, to celebrate their victory at the recent election, the govern- ment has positively forbidden the dinner to take place, and of course it will not be given.

The preparation and sale of tobacco in this country is a monopoly in the hands of the go- vernment.

Mr. E. 5.

Mr. Roche also condemned the Labor Relief Act as being wholly inadequate to meet the necessity which existed for speedy, extensive and permanent relief.

Mr. O'Connell has retired from the arena of rg agitation. He once more breathes the racing air of his native mountains, and inhales the western breeze that sweeps along the wave- lashed shores of Kerry. He left Dublin on the 10th inst., and on his progres to Darrynane Abbey received several addresses, expressing un- limited confidence in his political honesty, splen- did talents, and invincible perseverance. ‘To all of tbe addresses Mr. O’Connell returned replies ot the usual character, blaming and abusing the tories, but lauding to the highest pinnacle the present government, and winding up with the most ardent aspirations, and almost invoking the Deity to spare his existence until be saw Ireland Increase.
