She left Halifax at twelve o'clock, and will arrive at Boston this ‘morning. “Our special agent at Halifax advises us that the ‘purser of the America declined throwing our pack- “age overto our newsboat ; but, notwithstanding this, our agent succeeded in reaching the telegraph -office considerably ahead of all others. The news came from Halifax to Portland by tele- graph ; thence by special express to Boston ; and thence over Bain’s wires to this city. The telegraph worked admirably. The whole of the following despatch was transmitted from Boston over Bain’s Merchants’ Line, (office No. 29 Wall street,) with the greatest rapidity, regularity end accuracy. {n all our expenence in telegraphing, we never wit- essed such rapidity and accuracy combined. We \believe Bain’s telegraph system to be one of the ‘Wbst correct and reliable systems in existence. Our thanks are due to the gentlemanly operators of Bain’s line, end also to those at Portland and | east of that place, for their kindness and attention to the press. They are always in theis office, ready to transmit news and despatches. | ‘The race between the Europa and the Hermann | ended, to all appearance, at 3} o'clock on the first day out of New York, at which hour the latter could not be seen from the Europa’s deck. THE NEWS. Hatirax Tevsorarn Orricr, Saturday, Feb. 23, 95 P.M. i ‘The steamship America has arrived from Liver- pool. She sailed thence on Saturday the 9th inst. ‘The news 1s of the highest interest to the mer- chant and politician. There has been no change in cotton. During the fortnight ending on the %h inst, cotton had fluctuated, and, after various alterations in prices, the market setiled down to the quotations per Europa. Tue Quotations at THE a. Jan, 9.

Indian corn had receded sixpence per quarter on yellow, and one shilling and sixpence on white. Flour wes not much ivquired for, and prices had fallen drom one shilling to one shilling and sixpence oa good brands, with the tendency still downward. The frost had disappeared, and centinental ports were shipping. In American provisions the market had im- proved; and bacon, good new Western, had ac- vanced one to two shillings per wt. Lard had again declined. Pork was in demand, but at unchanged prices. Cheese, for low qualities, was much inquired for, but no advance had been made. Tallow was sixpence per ewt. lower. The London Coffee market, (as we learn froma private despatch,) was firm, with an increased demand. Laguayra was quoted at 56s. a 56s.— ‘There had been an advance of from 2s. a 3s., on gecent sales in the Liverpool market. St. Do- aningo was quoted at 5és. 6d. Freights were steady, but the demand was light. The money market was rather depressed. The bullion in the bank had slightly decreased. The xate of discount was from two to two and a half percent. Gonsole closed at 954 a 95j for money. American securities were im fair request, at steady prices. Buenos Ayres stocks had advanced five per cent. ‘The intelligence from the manufacturing dis- triets is still flattermg; and late accounts from India warrant the anticipation of increased orders from that quarter. ‘The Havre cotton market was dail. On Thurs day, sales 700 bales, and prices unchanged. The British Parliament was opened on the Bist ult.

The amendment was to the following effect :— ‘We regret, however, to be compelled humbly 18 ze present to your Majesty, that, iu many parts of the United Kingdoms, and cially in Ireland, the vari classes of your Majesty's a ie ‘comnected with the cultivation of the soll. are tress, mainly applicable, im ou tive enact local taxation. This amendment was lost in both Houses by an overwelming majority. On Thursday night, the 7th instant, Lord Dud- ley Stuart, in the House of Commons, moved for various papers relating to the demand of Russia for the expatriation of the Hungarian refugees from Turkey—the Hungarian war— the capture of the principalities of the Dae nube by Russian troops, &c. In making his mo- tion, his lordship gave a sketch of the history of Hungary, and read a series of details connected with the atrocities committed by Austria. He touched pathetically upon the murder of Count pee the successes of Bem, the revo- jution at Vienna, the renunciation by the Hun- nan Diet of allegiance to the "Howe of japsburg, and the invasion of the kingdom by the Russians, before w number, and the treachery of her chosen chief, the people and valiant gen- erals fell a sacrifice. He hoped that not only would England stand between the Czar and bis vietime, but that means would be used to force his hordes back from the frontier, to their proper quarters in the Russian empire. pe Fane, in reply, mg that he nome place upon the any papers bearing u t subject, and he should inform the House that it was the intention of Russia to reduce her army inion, to recent le- ents, aggravated by the pressure of on the Danube frontier from 46,000 to 10,080 men. Lord Dudley Stuart asked if En was pre- pared to protect the life of Kossuth against the machinations of his enemies. x Lord Claude Hamilton characterized the state- | ment that an attempt has been made on the life of be Mogyar chief, a calumny on the government of ustria, A prolonged debate arose, in which the character of the Hungarian chief was fully vindicated, and the past atrocious barbarity of the Austrian go- vernment denounced ia no measured terms.

On Friday night, Lord John Russell gave a full exposition of his views in re; to general colo- nial policy, in moving for a bill to regulate Austra- ha. He concluded bis speech by stating that the | principles upon which the colonial policy of the go- | vernment was founded, were the maintenance of | the free trade system to the fullestextent. The mimsters have not yet avowed the line of policy they mean to pursue in regard to the North American colonies; but it is pretty well understood that, should these colonies re either to become independent States, or to annex themselves to the United States of America, that no opposition will be oflered by Great Britain to their so doing. This feeling 18 grounded upon the fact that these colonies were sell-supporting ones.

SERIES OF RIOTS IN PARIS—THE CITY IN A STATE | OF SiKGE—THE DESIGNS OF THE PRESIDENT, ETC. On and since Monday, Paris has been in a state of siege, in consequence of a series of disturb- ances, created by the mob of the Rue St. Martin St. Antoine, when the police authorities came to cut down certain of the trees of liberty, planted during the revolution. From the facts, which, by the way, are rather conflicting, it would appear that when the order for the demolition of these last emblems of the liberty of the French people was iseved, large crowds gathered around and decora- ted these dread symbols of liberty; and that the police, acting under orders from the Execuiive, proceeded to cut them down; the poliée were re- OPENING OF PARLIAMENT — THE QUREN’s SPEECH — THE HUNGARIAN REFUGRES—THR NAVIGATION LAWS — THE CANADIAN QUESTION, ETC.

Another account says :— Austria has made a demand for the extradition of some Poles who have taken refuge from the severities following the late Hungarian troubles within the cantonments of Switzerland. The Swiss government has refused to surrender the refugees, except in cases where it is clearly proved that the refugees have intrigued in polities, and otherwise misconducted themselves. In this position the cantonments are sustained by the French government.

Whatever explanations of the British Minister at Paris may have been, they have been deemed perfectly satisfactory by the French government. £rgo, Greece 1s not likely to re- ceive much assistance in that quarter. _Itos reported that England has accepted the me- diation of France in this affair, and that the French ister declared, in private, that he hopes to be able, ina few days, to state that the misunderstand- ing between England and Greece had been amica- bly settled.
