LATER FROM EUROPE The steamer Britannia, from Liver pool, whence she suiled on the 20th nit., arrived at Boston Saturday morn in?, at 5 o'clock, making the passage in seventeen days and a half. ; .iiswwp10 inteiligetrce is highty impnrtan especially in a commercial point- of view.- . - - " - The deplorable condition of Ireland engrosses public attention to the British Islands.

The Whigs of Boston held a very large and enthusiastic meeting ia Ihe old "Crai die of Liberty" on Friday evening 6th inn. The Hon. Joseph Bell was elected President, and Mr. Geoiga P. Curtis in troduced the n solutions, which were a dopted by acclamation. Their substance is a patriotic declaration in favour of main laiuing the integrity of the Whig party and the constitution of the United States, and for these purposes a zealous sup port is guaranteed lo all the candidatea of the patty. The opposition, which prevails throughout the Northern Slates, to the acquisition of more territory into which slavery may be introduced, then we now have, ia distinctly avowed; but the determination to abide by the obligations af the Constitution forms the mast coa. epkueus feature of the resolutions. We copy the first and third: Ruolved, That, in our judgment, there is no other ground far t4e pokiticai actio of good men, who seek the honor of the country and the welfare of the whole peo ple, than the ground ooctipied by the Whig Party; that we can look only to the success of the Wh:g Party and Ike tier- lion of Whig Congreu, as the means of checking the Natiotrat-Administration in m oreseor cowse- oiiwng' bi cwb io the present "war vYilh 'Mexico,' and" of" re storing the Labor of the country to its true posmon; and, therefore, th it we do here, by adopt the declaration recently made upon this spot, by our illustrious fellow- citizen, Daniel Webster, that "In the dark and troubUd night th&t U ytpo us, there it no Star above the hori ton to give t a gleam of light, except the S. Resolved, That we are sincerely and earnestly devoted to the Constitution of the United Slates, the great work of our fathers; that we believe that, for a great number ol years, it has eminently Coitirib uted to the prosperity and happiness, the peace and harmony, the distinction aad renown of our country; that we feel it our aetema duty to maintain it, in all its in tegrity and purity, and to do all in our power lo cause it te be so administered as wpefte5qflffl!; awg to ita provisions, to each and alt the Slates, and their respective 'people.

It is generally bolieved, nnd we think the Union has not de nied it, that Com. MrKenzie was sent to Ifavnnna to negotiate with Santa Ann for hie return: that tno matter Waa ar ranged between " them : and that the passports were furnished to enable him lo pass the squadron: And that the two millions of dollars which tire.

A correspondent informs us that a memorial lo the next Legislature is on foot, calling the attention of thai body to the improvement of Neuse River, and urging the adoption of some schemd to render it navigable. This memorial wilt :bevtirc Craven. lenoir, Wavne, Johnson and Greene, we presume, for the purpose of obtaining thes.guauircsoi tne people ot those Counties. The movement is a highly impor tant one, and deserves well the atten tion of the people of this section. Oth-. er portions of the State are moving in works ot internal improvement, and it behooves us to be up and doine. Whether the plan of memorializing the Legislature in reference to . a : general: scheme of the kind without presenting some specific plan of improvement in the river and soliciting the aid of that body, will effect any thing decisive, we know not. It certainly can have no bad influence, but may stir up the peo ple and the Legislature ou lhe subject, if we could learn however that a com pany had been formed with a capital o( $50000 Si that all the stock was taken, and that the Company was about to ask the Ijeislature to incorporate it, we should be more hopeful el success.
