Highly Important from Europ, The auxiliary steamship Sarah Sands arrived at this port yesterday, making a remarkably excellent passage of seventeen days, and bring- ing to us six days later new from the old world. ; The intelligence confirms the hopes of the friends of liberty. It is astounding. It is over- whelming. The little sea of troubles on which France launched her bark of republicanism, has diverged from there, and become an ocean, ex- tending over the whole of Europe—and its tu- multuous waves now wash the very shores of Russia itself. The inmost recesses ot despotism have been reached by the spirit of freedom—and a whole continent is in an uproar. The newsis positively overwhelming. Buta few weeks since and kings and despots, with their courtiers and ministers, ruling by the mght divine, were reposing safely, and, apparently, in security, engaged, perhaps, in devising new echemes for the taxation, and forging additional fetters for the oppression of their subjects. How different the picture now! Governors have to accede to every thing demanded by the govern- ed, the masses have arisen, and the voice of the people, which is the voice of God, has proclaim- ed that man most be free. Kings, who have refused to yield, have fled in disgrace from the people whom they misgoverned, and those who conceded what was demanded of them, hold their places bya weak and sickly tenure. Sic semper tyrannis. It-is almost impossible for the mind to grasp at onct the whole of the news which has reached us by this one arrival. Since the receipt of the intelligence brought by the packet ship Duchess of Orleans, the old world has progressed an age. Events of the most gigantic moment have occurred; the brain is distracted with the at- tempt to concentrate the mighty movements which have occurred within that brief space of time, or to reflect on those mighty events. A torrent of lava, from a smouldering volcano of six huadred years, has burst its bonds and inun- dated the whole continent of Europe, destroying in its course, kings, potentates and princes, with all the trappings and paraphernalia of royalty. The die is cast, and the “‘divine right of kings” is abglished. Before democracy is fully esta- blished and made permanent, blood and carnage may reigntriumphant. Already the shrill blast of the trumpet 1s heard, and the word has gone forth to the minions of tyranny to arm in de- fence of their tyrant-masters. Russia has called to arms, and symptoms of a general European war, which will encircle Europe with a blaze, are perceptible—but, perhaps, we are too fast. The accounts from every country of the old world confirm the predictions that have been made, that the reign of monarchy there 1s over, and an interregnum is about to succeed it, to pre- cede the permanent and eternal sway of repub- licanism. This intelligence informs us that the people of the whole of Germany are arming; that a revolution has broken out in Venice, which declared for a republic; that‘ provisional government has been established in Denmark, and that the king was on the brink of abdica- tion; that there aré’symptoms of a war between the Poles and Rusia; that vigorous attempts are being made to renationalize’ Poland, and that hostilities have been commenced between Den- mark and Holstein. From Ireland there is nothing very exciting; but there is the strongest evidence that tlhe people are thoroughly im- bued with the spirit abroad, and are making pre- parations for an expected conflict with the go- vernment and troops of England. In fine, on all sides—wherever the reader di- rectshis eye on the map of Europe, he will see either direct conflict and disturbance, or prepa- tions for either. Noone can tell what a day may bring forth. The times are pregnant with seeds—the fruit of which will turn the old order of things, and date the commencement of a new era in the history of the world. We shall make our comments on this news lei- surely; inthe meantime we leave our readers to read the details on the first page of thie day’s paper. 3 Procrrpinas 1x Congress.—We are compell- ed, by the pressure of foreign news, to defer, until another day, the publication of our detai)- ed reports of Thureday’s proceedings in both branches of Congress. Latzr rrom West Inpis.—The bark Monte- zuma, Capt. Rhodes, arrived yesterday morning from St. Thomas, with accounts to the 6th inst. We learn from F.C. Smalley, Esq, of Barba- does, passenger on the Montezuma, to whom we are indebted for Barbadoes papers, that there was a very severe shock of an earthquake in St. Thomason the morning of the 6th, creating much alarm, but no damage done. We find no- thing of interest in the Barbadoes Globe. at 40! Wheatrical and Musical. The Bowery and Chathom theatres, and the other favorite places of amusement, were as much crowded last night as are our columns this morning. Olty Intelligence.

MOSEY MARKET. Feiday, April 21.6, P.M. The stook market opened steady this morning, and prices did not vary a fraction at the first board, with ‘very limited sales, Soon after the session of the board commenced, the steamship Sarsh Sands, from Liverpool, with nine days’ later intelligence, was announced by elegraph. Business of all kinds wassuspended at once, and the most intense excitement existed. An Ezira Herald wes issued at two o’clook, and the news spread over the city with the greatest rapidity ; politically the advices are of the highest importance; commercially they do not amount to much, but are considered rather favor- able than otherwise. The whole of Europe is in a com- plete blaze, from the White Sea to the Mediterranean, from the Arctic Ocean to the Straits of Gibralter; and what will be the result of the present state of things in that section of the world, noone can tell. That there will be a general war throughout Europe, we do not for ® moment doubt; in fact, the ball has already commenced rolling—no power on earth can atop it. It is the only thing that can prevent a civil war now in any country. A general war throughout Europe would be the best. thing in ths world for the new govern- mente—it would consolidate them, give employment to the refractory spirits, and act es @ safety valve to let off the superabundance of patriotism, attract the attention of the people, snd bring order end shape out of the confusion and chaos which is almcat universal. A foreign war would now be the salvation of the French Republic. It would do away entirely with those dissensions, and that distraction which threaten the destruction of the provisional government. The military movements throughout the continent must re- sult in something. A collision between any two of the leading powers would be the sigaal for s general ex- plosion. This is what we expect, and it may be nearer at hand than gonerally imagined. ‘The list of suspensions in France is lengthening, and the financial embarrassments were becoming more pressive. The provisional government was endeavoring to raise a Jarge loan from the Bank of France, and publio and private finances were in a horrible condition. Busi- ness of all kinds was at a complete stand still, the minds of the people being filled with anything else but trade and commerce. In England everything was compera- tively quiet; prices for our staples had experienced very little alteration. Cotton had improved, but the advance had not been sustained Breadstuffs had slightly re- ceded, but there was so little doing that quotations were merely nominal. The London money market was s:eady; cspital abundant, and consols firm at previous quotations, We are happy to announce that about £60,000 of bills drawn by the Canal Bank of New Orleans on the Roths- childs have been accepted, lenving only about £10,000 approaching maturity, which bad not been presented.—- This will give groat relief to parties hero, and will pre- vent shipments of sproie to this extent, as it must have gone forward in the event of thess bills being roturned. The Canal Bank‘has noted very promptly in this busi- ness, and it is our impreasion that it will keep cloar of all fature dealings with the Rothschilds. Ae soon astho bank received information that its bills had been noted for protest, collateral security was immediately demand- ed of tho agent of that house for drafts held against the principals for one hundred thonsand france. The only security ho had to offer;was their letter of crodit, wh’¢ he doposited with the tank. Subsequent tothis the agent of the Rothschilds proposed to open an account with tho Bank of Louisinna, which proposition was at once de- clined. Assoon as te Canal Bank heard that its bills had been dishonored, arrangements were made to (ake up every bill that had been drawn. ‘The credit of the Rothschilds has received a shook frem the events which have tranepirod in Europe within tho past nixty deys, which 1t will perhaps never recover from.
