DECLINE IN BREADSTUFFS, &o., &., &o, ‘The Cunard steamship Furopa, Captain Leitch, which Jef’ Liverpoo! at noon on Saturday, the 20th of February, arrived at her dock at half-past six o’clock last evening. Amongst the passengers by the Europa is his Excellency Mahomed Pasha, Rear Admiral of the Turkish navy, so long expected in this city, attended by his suite, The news by the Europa is seven days later than that Drought by the America to Halifax, and is of an interesting ebaracter. Oonsols closed in London, on the evening of 19th ult., at 9735 a 9754 fer money and account. im the English Parliament ministers had been defeated by nineteen majority against the second reading of the Conspiracy to Murder ”’ bill. Lord Palmerston had been granted leave by a largo majority to bring in his bill to alter the government of india. There is a week’s later news from India, favorable to the British in its general character, but containing nothing of great importance. We have no later news from China, but the detail. of the news before received show that Canton was virtually up possession of the British. ‘The London Times, in reviewing the Kansas question and Mr. Buchanan’s message on the Lecompton question, Admits that the President's p»wition is a strong one, and wuggests that it would be nest t admit Kensas ander the Lecompton constitution, and for the free State inhabitants of Kansas t then take steps to have the constitution amended. Capt. Dunham, of the American bark Adriatic, which latery escaped from the French authorities at Marseilles, has sold bis veasel either to the Russian government or a Russian firm, and was making his way to England. ‘The trial of the directors and managers of the Royal British Bank for conspiring, by false pretences, t> defread the shareholders and the public, was commenced on the ‘18th of February in the Court of the Queen’s Bench, Lon- don, before Lord Campbell and a special jury. A great array of legal talent was engaged in conducting the pro eedings, which were continued from day to day up to the departure of the Europa. In obedience to a request from the Bench, the Eaglish joarnals refrained from making any comment during the progress of the trial, but reported the evidence at length. ‘The farowell banquet given to Dr. Livingston, the Af- rican traveller, was a brilliant affair and was auended by ‘a large array of eminent men. Numerous meetings bad been held in London and elav- where against Lord Palmerston’s bill in regard to conspi- racy to murder, and « demonstration against it was to take place in Hyde Park, London, on Sunday, the 2st of Fobruary. A French refugee, named Simon Bernard, had been arrested by the London police, cbarged with being an accomplice in the recent attempt on the life of the Emperor of the French. At the preliminary examination of the prisoner sufficiently conclusive evidence was produced to warrant his being remanded for trial under tho existing Jaws of Pngland. Tho election at Limerick, Ireland, which threatened to be productive of a serious riot, passed off with compara- tive quiet, and resulted in the return of Major Gavin, the anti-ministerial candidate. ‘The trial of Father Conway on a charge of resorting to religious intimidation during the Inte election in Mayo, ‘commenced at Dublin on the 16th of February. ‘The returns of the British Board of Trade for the month of December show « falling off in the value of exports of £2,897 185, as compares with the corresponding period in 1866. The reduction was chieily in Manchester goods. ‘The Swies federal council has decreed that the refu- Fees in the Cantons of Vaud, Valais, Neuchatel, Ticino, Solure and Basle-Jura shail be removed into the inte- rior. Concessions are to be made by Belgium to the demands of the Frevch government, particularly with reference to the press. ‘The fete given at Athens on the 7th of February to celo- brate the 26th anniversary of the arrival of King Otho in Greece was a most brilliant affair. Advices from Russia mention a very general rumor that the government contemplate s new loan. It is stated that the Germanic Bund is about to request, im the form of an ultimatum, that the King of Denmark will change the constitutional institutions of Hoistein and Lavenburg #0 that they may be in accordance with tho federal laws of Germany. It is also ssid thatthe tenth corps darmée was about to assemble at Hanover, nomi- pally in order to make arrangements for the usual manwu- vres, but im reality for preparing to occupy Holstein and Lavenburg. The Duchess de Brabant bad given birth to a daughter im Brussels. The Euro; arrived out at Liverpool on the 15th and the Kangaroo ou the 17th of February. The steamer North American was not to sail for Portland ‘Vill the Sd of March. ‘The Kangaroo would leave, as advertised, on the 24th of February.

I wish Mehmed Pasha had been here, in order to have had a foretaste of an American winter. Apropos of his Excellency, 1 suppose he bh 1s not yet ar- rived in America, for an accideatal eveut called him off to Spain. ‘The Sultan seems snddenty inspired with a desire to im- prove his navy, and js ambitions to emulate his allies om the seas. He has accordingly ordered the following vee- sels to be built:—A fine 74, at the royal arsenal on the Golden Horn; two frigates, one at the navy var a! Gen- byik, and the other at Nicomedia; and in thie United States @ splendid ship of the line, destined to be the flag ship of the Ottoman pavy—all to be propelled by steam. The Fethiyé was also despatched to England, there to be con- verted into a propeller, but on way having met with an accident, near Gibreltar, she was obliged to put into Fays! for repairs, and Rear Admiral Mehmed Pasha being at Marseilles, en route to the United States, for the construction of the flag ship, was telegraphed to repair thither to attend to her. As soon as her wants and re- quirements are property cared for his Excclleacy will then proceed to Paris, and visiting London and Liverpool, robably soon arrive in New York by one of the At- tic steamers. |; No doubt the English are jealous of the preference given to the United States in the proposed plan for the flag ship, but I trust no intrigue will prevent his Excellency from proceeding to America, and that on his arrival be will sidering, however, that Potsdam may be called the Prus- sian Windsor, ite citizens deserve some credit for not having made horses of themselves, like their English counterparts. Such displays of Oriental servility are, it seems, exclusively confined to the free born sons of Bri- tain. After spending a day at Potedam, and paying a visit to Babelaberg, the Prince of Prussia’s country seat, the youthful pair started for Bellevue, a hoary looking old chateau on the banks of the Spue, from whence their en- trance into Berlin was to take piace. Yesterday morning at an early hour the inhabitants’of our good city were all on the qui vive. The streets pre- sented ap unusual appearance of bustle and apimation, and the clang of martial music resounded through the air as the members of the trades and corporations marched along im holiday attire, with banners flying, and the embiems of their craft borne on high before them. Tt was @ bitter cold day; the merciless east wind pierced the very marrow of one’s bones, and the bright wintry sun only seemed to add intensity to the rigor of th» ust; but in spite of the inclement atin ) Men, Women and children were seen hurrying on in an unbroken stream to the Linden and the Branderburg mag through which the meet with a cordial reception. cortége was to pass.

It is to hoped, therefore, that the Rear Ad- miral is the harbinger of a permanent mission from the Ottoman government. There bave also been some important attempts at inter- nal (mprovements in the Turkish dominions, Firmans have been granted for railroads and river improvements. ute of the projected road between Keostendjé and z-Keéyu was surveyed some time ago, and the line located; but owing to the genera] commercial pauic opera- tions haye not been commenced. The charter provided for a capital of £300,000, to be extended to half a million in case of necessity; half of which sum was to be taken in shares of £100 each by the citizens of Torkey, and the remainder divided batween France and England. French, on account of the scarcity of money, having recently’ withdrawn their subscriptions, the English have taken the whole amoust, so that the railroad will soon be commenced. Another charter has been granted to a company of na- tive merchants to render the river Maritza navigable from Enos to Adrianople and Philipopoli. @imilar charters are offered he 8 the government to any parties willing to undertake other interral improvements.
