ARRIVAL OF THE ETJROPA. 
Seven days later from Europe. 
Nf.yv York, May 8. 
The steamer Europe, Capt. Shannon reached 
her dock at 7 o’clock this morning, 11 days and 16 
hours from Liverpool. 
Cotton has again declined at Liverpool, and has 
been sold at less than at the sailing the last 
steamer. 
Liverpool Corn Markets. —Corn market con¬ 
tinues depressed and a large reduction on wheat 
and flour has been submitted to without leading to 
activity. The decline on wheat is 2@4d ^ 70 lbs. 
and 6@7 on flour. Indian corn dull and must be 
quoted 6£ lower. To-day there was no improve¬ 
ment in price or demand. 
The Great Exhibition. —The following notice 
was posted up the 25th of April:—“All exhibit¬ 
ors are requested to complete their fittings on or 
before next Monday night. After that day no 
person will be admitted except those absolutely 
necessary for arrangements.” 
A postscript was added that all packages not re¬ 
moved bv to-morrow night would be sold on the 
26th of April. 
France, —The announcement that M. Guizot 
is to be brought forward as a candidate for the rep¬ 
resentation of the Cape Lands causes some sensa¬ 
tion. It is not known whether ho will be nomi¬ 
nated or not. 
A powerful advocate for the prolongation of the 
powers of the President of the Republic has arisen 
in the Assembly of the Nationale, which is a con¬ 
tribution of M. Guizot. 
Switzerland. —A letter from Burns, of the 
15th ult., in the Debats says, 1 hasten to inform 
you that the federal government has just received 
a communication from the English legation, in 
which it protests against refugees being sent over 
to England. 
The following telegraph despatch, announcing 
the failure of the insurrection movement was re¬ 
ceived at the Portugal Legation: 
The United States is therefore the only country 
open to them. The first detachment of Hungari¬ 
an and Italian refugees, who lately deserted from 
the Army of Radisky, on the 17th, arrived at Bre¬ 
men under the command of Col. Coldorr. They 
are going to America by way of Franee. A great 
number of them fought under Kossuth. 
Spain and Portugal. — The Ambassador of 
France and Minister of Foreign Affairs, according 
1o the despatch of the 16th received by the Portu¬ 
guese Ambassador, and committed to him, it ap¬ 
pears that Gen. Saldaha, discouraged by the bad 
reception he met at Cordova, has directed his 
course towards the Spanish frontier. 
Accounts from Madrid state that the Minister 
of Finance is actively engaged in preparing his 
Budget, which will be presented to the Chambers 
in June. 
The 12th instant being the Anniversay of the 
Pope, his highness was waited on by the Diplo¬ 
matic Corps. 
We learn that Prince Schwartzenburgh had been 
appointed Governor of Transylvania. 
We learn that Austria has proposed in case of 
certain events, to march 200,001) troops through 
Piedmont. 
ARRIVAL OF THE GEORGIA. 
Later from California, Havana and Chagres. 
, The United States Mail Steamship Georgia ar- 
1 rived Tuesday morning from Chagres, via Havana 
with the Pacific mails, and $1,500,000 on freight, 
i Great excitement existed in Havana in relation 
1 to the news of an expected invasion. M my had 
| been put in prison on suspicion. 
The rainy season had not yet set in at Chagres, 
j and the railroad will, it is said, be finished to Gor- 
i gona by the last of July, if the weather continued 
j good. Chagres was healthy. Phe inhabitants 
i have established a regular police, and life and 
> property are much more safe than heretofore.— 
J The passengers by the Georgia are generally 
> healthy, only two cases of illness having occurred 
* ou the voyage. 
J The Hon. Samuel B. Thurston, the late dele- 
) gate in Congress, from Oregon Territory, died on 
| the 8lh ult., on the passage l'rotn Panama to San 
) F rancisco. 
I A correspondence has been published between 
James King and Humbert, Esq., the Government 
Assayor, exhibiting the fact, that much of the gold 
coin in circulation is deficient in the standard 
weight, though marked “ S. M. V.” understood 
to be “ Standard Mint Value.” This coin will 
not pass current in any other locality than Cali- 
i fornia, and if sent to the United States, must He¬ 
'S ccssarilv be re-coined at the United States Mint. 
I The loss on some ot the coin is ten per cent. 
No small degree of pleasure and surprise has 
been fell by the arrival of the clipper ship Surprise 
from New York, in 96 days 15 hours, the shortest 
trip on record. 
The Alla California says the printing materials 
> in this city has depreciated considerably within the 
) last six months. The Journal of Con' rnerce office, 
) type, press, stands, Ac., was sold at auction yes- 
> terday for $61), barely enough to pay the expenses 
) of the sale. At another sale by auction, we saw 
I materials sold at 37 per cent. less than New York 
prices. 
Mining Items. 
New discoveries have been made on Scott’s 
River. The gold is described as coarse, and that 
fdund is in chunks of one dollar and upwards. 
Two miners took out in one day a lump weigh¬ 
ing over 8U0 dollars. 
The richest deposit of gold that ever has been 
discovered in California is probably that at Nevada 
City, which is generally known as the “ Gold 
Tunnel,” on account of the vast treasures which 
have been taken therefrom, and the rich prospect 
I offered for the future. 
( The gold is found in a kind of decomposed clay 
) and is found thickly set throughout this whole vein, 
l which appears to bo inexhaustible in depth, and 
S from one to four feet in bieadth. It is without 
( doubt the richest claim in all California. Proba- 
( blv $50,000 havo already been dug from the claim. 
) The mouth of the tunnel is at the side of a creek 
\ and there is the greatest abundance of water, which 
) is a matter of vital importance to those engaged. 
( Two thousand miners are at work at or near 
) Coloma. Very rich diggings have been discover- 
( ed on the hill back of the town, where, out of sin- 
> gle claims, as much as a hundred dollars per day 
( had been taken out. 
i The news from the Gold Bluffs is very favora¬ 
ble. We are informed that a rich bed of gold has 
been discovered, and that one machine washed out 
32 ounces of gold in one day. On another day 
$1,000 was taken out. The gold is found upon 
the bed rock, from two to tea feet below the sur¬ 
face. One bucket of dirt yielded eight ounces; 
$138 had been taken from 23 pounds of sand— 
an average of six dollars to the pound.

~~ IMPORTANT TO MILLERS. 
The American Miller & Mill-Wrighta Assistant. 
rpHIS is the most valuable book for practical Millers 
_L and Mill-wrights, extant. It is a new work recently 
published by Wm. C. Hughes, who is himself a practical 
miller, and has spent the best portion of his life in the 
business of constructing, planning, and managing of 
Flouring Mills and the manufacture of flour. In 
preparing this work for the milling public his object has 
been to establish a correct guide to the business, instead of 
speculative theories. Special regard has been paid to most 
of the essential improvements which have ol'late been in¬ 
troduced for the benefit of the miller. 
A few of the important subjects treated of and here giv¬ 
en, taken from the contents of the work, are 
WATER POWER CALCULATED FOR ALL HEADS, 
The size of the wheels for all heads, with tlie amount of 
water necessary to use on the same. 
The entire science of dressing the mill stone, with a prac¬ 
tical treatise on grinding. 
Remarks on the Culture of Grain, Sec. 
Table of Grain grown in the United Slates. 
Explanation of Technical terms used in Milling. 
The quality of French Burr, as best adapted for grinding 
Wheat and Corn. 
The proper size of mill picks, for dressing stones. 
Composition for tempering cast-steel mill picks. 
The amount of help necessary to be employed in a mill ol 
four run of stones, with their duties respectively. 
Remarks on packing Flour.
