NO. 6725. THIRD EDITION. EUROPEAN NEWS, ARRIVAL STEAMSHIP EUROPA AT HALIFAX, = WITH Two Weeks Later Intelligence. ‘Telegraphic from Halifax, N. 8. to Portland, THENCE BY SPECIAL EXPRESS TO BOSTON, THENCE Telegraphic to Mew York, OVER Bains’ Merchants’ Line. Loss of the Packet-Ship Hottinguer, with the Captain and Twelve of the Orew. : Advance in the Cotton Market. c&e., &e., ee, The steamship Europa, Capt. Lott, arrived at Galifax about 7 o’clock last evening. She sailed from Liverpool on Saturday, the 26th ult., and our es from Europe are, therefore, two weeks Mater than those previously received. Notwithstanding the darkness of the night, the express was run ia 3 hours and 20 minutes. The Europa probably left Halifax about mid- might. She willarrive at this port sometime on ‘Monday morning. THE NEWS. Corron had gone up } to j higher. Sales for the ‘week were 83,000 bales. The Frovr market was inactive, and trade a trifle better. Laxp hed advanced 2s. Corrzg was in less demand, at lower prices. Money was abundant, with signs of greater stringency. United States Stocks remained unchanged. Consuls had receded—the closing price was 96}. It is stated that the extent of business done in imports has been limited, and the prices generally most unsatisfeciory. Iroa and grey sbirtiogs are ja little firmer than last month, and these are the loply goods which have maintained their value. ‘There had been a late arrival from India. ‘The Bombuy and Culcutta markets are essentia- ly the same as by the previous advices under the date of Canton, Nov. 25. The political news 1s unimportant. The continental news is unusually devoid of in- cerest, The Buenos Ayres expedition is said to be abandoned. te Loss of the Packet Ship Hottinguer, The splendid New York packet ship Hottinguer, Capt. Burel, has fallen a prey to the fury of the elements, and from the tenor of the last accounts repeoting her, a melancholy loss of life attends the disaster. The Hottinguer sailed from Liverpool for New York on the Ist January. She had 290 cabin and steerage passengers, together with the captain and crew of thirty men and boys, and had a very ful) freight of various descriptions of goods. \ The H. had only passed as far as Blackwater Bank, which is off the coast of Wexford, when she struck on one of those dangerous ledges of rock which lie concealed in that (quarter. This oc_ carred on the morning of the 12:h January. Oa the occurrence of this mishap, a part of the crew and all of the passengers were seat ashore. Capt. Bursley and 13 of his men, remained on board of the Il., determined not te leave the ship while there was the remotest chance of saving her. Oa the following morning, the 13th, the ship floated off Black Water Bank, and bore away before the wind and struck Arklow Bank, « here she afterwards went to picees; and, sad to relate, Captain Barsley and twelve of the noble band, who determined to be the last of theship, met a waiery grave. At the time the pas- sengers left the ship, her situatioa seemed to be atterly hopeless. The hold was full of water, and the sea making clear breaches over her. It was with extreme difficulty and peril that the passengers and seamen were passed in the boats,the sea break- ingwith dreadful violence oa the bank. The pas- sengers were unable to take anything out of the ship except the clothes they had on at the time. The boats happily succeeded in reaching the shore» although with extreme difficulty, from the height of the seas, and the great distance of seven miles ot mote from the bank to the iand. Capt. Bursley’s eon, who was on board the Hottinguer up to the time she struck on Blackwater bank, is a passenger on board the Europa. Bh mae thw for New York, got aground on the ovterside of the Prince’s Dock, on Mon- day, The fine goods having been landed in good order, she was afterwards hauled into the Prince's Dock. She had «t one time eight to ten feet of waier in her hold, and appeared very mach strained. The Guy Mannering had discharged all her cargo, and will be taken into the graving dock ‘or any necessary repairs in her caulking or lower planks, where crushed. France. Business progresses slowly in the legislative Assembly. The budget is still in committee. The Chamber had been for some time occupied with M. Falloux’ Education Bill. The latest Parisian advices represent Victor Hugo as having made a speech against it, which was applauded with frenzy by the Mowhtain. The debate adjourned, aiid great excitement. The war against the press continues. The Reforme has been suspended, and La Presse seized, "the weather throughout France, especially in the South, has been more rigorous than for many yams. The Russians have resumed diplomatic relations with the Porte; it is expected that the Austrians will not be slow to follow. Austria, Austria 1s occupied with the numberless consti- tutions for her provinces. The provincial diets. are to be coavoked in October, and that of the Empire will assemble in 1851. Rome, It is said the want of money prevents the Pope from returning to his capital, and that France has offered. funds to his holiness. The Archbishop Bourges is said to be the bearer of this offer, made in the name of the French Episcopacy. Prussia. The threatened dissolution of the Cabinet ap- pears to have been avoided by some compromise. The King is now disposed to take the oath of the constitution. The Erfurt Parliament is declared to be an im- periovs political necessity for Prussia. At Berlin negociations for the treaty of peace with Denmark have been renewed. Germany. In Wurtemberg, there appears to be a change of opinion favorable to Russian influence. The Hanoverian Chamber refuses to recognise the central commission of Austria and Prussia. A constitution 1s recommended for Germany. Sardinia, The Sardinian Chamber of Deputies has ap- proved the treaty of peace concluded at Milan be- tween the Piedmontese and the Austrians. It is expected the Senate will also approve 11. Commereial Affairs, Liverroot, Friday Evening, Jan. 26, 1850. Commercial affairs are still in a satisfactory state, but at the same time, less buoyant than a week ago. COTTON. The improved tone with which our cotton mar- ket closed on the 18th inst. manifested itself upon its opening on Monday. The demand was to a fair extent, and tolerably well supplied by noiders, at the tull rates of this day se’nnight. Oa Tuesday morning the Boston steamer of the 5th arrived from New Yerk, advising an advance of one cent per pound in that market, and decidedly more unfavorable accounts as to the probable amount of the crop. The market immediately manifesied a very excited appearance. Specula- tors became exceedingly anxious purchasers, and an advance of jd., and in some instances jd. per Ib. was at once obtained by holders, and the day’s sales reached 30,000 bales—20,000 cn speculation. Since Tuesday, there has been less activity; the demand has been upon a much smaller scale, which helders freely fsupply, at a decline of jd. from the extreme prices current on Tuesday, | and and the merket closed to-day qumetly, at an advance of jd. to jd per pound upon the quotations ot Friday Jaet. The sales to-day are 7,000 balea— 3,000 o9 speculation. The total sales this week are $3,000 bales, of which speculators have taken 28,000. American—The authorized quotations to-day for fair bowed, 7d. ; Mobile, 7d. ; Orleans, 7jd. THE MONEY MARKET. We have very few remarks to make on the state of the money market for the past week, cash remains abundant, but is expcet- ed by the leading discount houses to be- come tighter, in consequence of the large acces- sions of speculation bills, and the operation of the Russian loan The impetus given to produce of all desertptions, by the great abundance of money, has this week, to some extent, been checked, and the reaction in the value ot coffee and other produce; the future course of the mar kets for some time will be downward. Ia consols no fluctuations of any moment have occurred. The market has been very quiet, and closes to-night at 96j, being j per cent lower then last Friday. The Russian loan has been Jargely dealt im at prices varying from 4ja3 premium, although the scrip is not yet issued; it closed to-night at 3j a 4 pcemium. ‘THE CORN MARKET. The corn market continues to exhibit much lan- guor. Buyers confine their purchases to imme- diate wants. Sull, at present, there is not much likelihood of prices going much lower than our present quotations. The market held here to-day, the best Western Cana! Flour sold at 238. 6d. a 24s.; Philadelphia and Bal- timore, 25s. a 25s. 6d.; new Ohio, 24s. a 25s. 6d. Indian corn is steady, at 31s. a Sis. Gd. tor white; 298. a 298. 3d. for yellow, and 288 6d. a 29s. for mixed. PRODUCE MARKET. The sales of foreign and co'oma! produce are to a moderste extent, during the last eight daye, bat holders being firm in their demands, and full prices generally have been paid. Bacon—-Holders of new bacon do not appear pear inclined to give way im price, and the stock sold having become much reduced, an advance of Is. per cwt has been obtained on low qualities. Boef—The sales are 400 a 500 tierces; ordinary old brought 50.; good brands of new, 75s. a 77s. 6d. Pork—Old prime mess is in demand for export. Good new realized 50s. a 55s. ; very fine, 56s. a 658%. Shoulders—Ordinary*are gelling at 16s. a 17s.; good at 188. a 198 6d. ; choice of far quality is in fine demand. Lard —The transactions have again been extensive —the sales for the last fourteen days being fully 600 tone, at an advance of Is. per cwt., 36s. being now the lowest quotation for ordinary refining qualities. COPrER. There has been less activity in the demand, but holders generally are firm. sveaR. There has been less disposition to purchase ali kinds of Colomal sugar this week. In foreign, the transactions are Porto Rico at 41s., being full rates. Brazil at 34s. to 95s. 6d., duty paid, for ordinary brown. THE IRON MARKET. The iron market continues firm, with an Improved tendency. The last Amencan mail brought considerable ordees for rails, and there is a disposition to buy for the completion for some of the English lines. Scotch pig iron has been in de- mand and prices have improved. The quotations are, merchant bar iron £5 15s.; best rolled £7; hoop £7 10s.; sheet £8 5s.; Scotch pig, No. 1, net cath, £2 168. Toracco. The sales since the Ist are 1,260 hhds., of which 490 were for Ireland—160 for ex- portation, and 670 by the trade. The market has been very firm throughout, and full prices paid for all descriptions. FREIGRTS. Freights have been, on the whole, well sup- ported, notwithstanding some interruption to the inland eommunication by frost, ana considerable arrivals of shipping. But in passengers we can notice no improvement. They continue scarce, Deo 28; Rover, Am: lee 16thy Adeat= Freya, Marseilles Gravesend; Iraak Jan 22; Gazell ral. eens ith; W Ith; Liverpool.

Another sad dey bas passed over, and all the muti- Tated forms of our fellow beings, crushed by the fatal casuality of Monday morning, have not yet been dis- imterred from the ruins. Sixty-two have been found, ‘Dut more are yet to come. There still remains to be Searched, the space behind where the engine stood, and one or two other spets, which will, no doubt, yield up their dead. Several other bodies are yet missing, which must be somewhere. If they are not in the ruing, where are they?
