UNITED STATES.

The Europa left New York on the 7th instant, and Halifax on the lOih instant, and brought eighty -eight passengers, amongst whom was the Hon. E. H. Stanley, M. P. for Lynn, the run being made in little more than 12£ days, the Jburopa reaching Liverpool on the 19th. Touching the Panama railway scheme nothing had been done, although priva c accounts state that a mail road was being formed across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. No bill, moreover, had been passed providing a government for either the territories of New Mexico or California. The accounts received from the gold region in California a»e not so flattering. The cold weather had driven in the diggers, and in consequence gold had become scarce, and the price risen to 16 dollars. Several large cargoes of provisions had arrived from Peru, Chili, and China ; and from this coast more than twenty vessels had left during the last month for San Francisco. E ery article in the shape of provisions will be supplied at a much cheaper rate than they can be sent from the United States. Severe losses must be sustained by many who have ventured largely, expecting to reap immense profits. Many vessels had left, more were leaving, and since the 21st ultimo, same 2,000 additional emigrants had left the shores of the United States for San Francisco. — Home News, March 24.
