LATEJfROM EUROPJS.:
The Caledonian Capt. Lott arrived at
Boston at one o'clock Thursday afternoon.
She left Liverpool on the 4th inst. and
brings London and Liverpool papers to that
date.
The abdication of Don Carlos in favor of
his son i the most suiting event in continent
al news which has transpired since the sail-
ing of the Cambria.
The German papers state that preparations
arc making at Coburg for the reception of
Queen Victoria who will visit that place and
the court of Berlin iu the course of the sum-
mer. The Russian government is about to autho
rise the sale of Circassian children principly
tor purposes of prostitution to the Turks.
There seems at present some perhaps not
a remote prospect that the long talked of
junction between the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans may be carried on.
IRELAND.
The Tara Demonstration. The repeal
meetiug at Tara respecting which considera-
ble preparations had been made for tome lime
previous look place on Thursday the 2Ud
ult. Mr. O'Connell Mr. John O'Conuell
Mr. Ray and others heard mass at Tara at
half-past 12 o'clock the Rev. Mr. M'E-oy
parish priest of Kells officiating. The ac-
counts differ materially as to the numbers in
attendance. The Freeman estimates those
who heard ir.ass at 50000 and the number
of those who took part in the demonstration
ut 200000; but Saunders the Evening Mail
and the anti-repeal papers represent the at-
tendance as meagre not exceeding 5000 or
6000 imd the whole affair a failure. Both
parties agree in this that ihe attendance and
the enthusiasm were far in arrearof the great
xneetinwou the same spotiu 1813.
Mr. O'Connell came forward to address the
meeting and was received with loud cheers.
He delivered one of those effective and pecu-
liar addresses on the subject of Irish wrongs
with which our readers have beeen long fa-
miliar. At the banquet in the evening for which
820 tickets were issued Mr. O'Conuell made
another speech. He showed that Sir Robert
Peel omnipotent in the House of Commons
on every other subject was almost harmless as
regarded Ireland. The question was what
would satisfy Ireland 1 Nothing short of re-
peal. He next proceeded to show how he
had defeated Peel. When the late Govern-
ment were in power they had the inclination
but they had not the means of serving Ire-
land. Peel came in with a majority of a bun-

they got more from him than they Jiad been
able to secure from the former government.
Dr. Cautwell the Bishop of Meath repli-
ed to tile toast of the " Hierarchy of Ireland"
proposed by Mr. O'Connell.
"The policy of Government with regard to
Ireland is changed and Ireland is grateful
for the disposition it evinces. (Cries of 'Hear
hear.') The Government had intended some
good measures they had announced others
but are we on that account to relinquish our
constitutional exertions! ('No no.') Say it
is our duty to increase them (Cheers.) Ire-
land will be grateful to England for every in-
stalment even of justice but the liquidation of
the whole debt will alone satisfy us." (Cheers.)
The "Repeal Martyrs" having been toast-
ed and responded to by Mr. John O'Connell.
Dr. G. &c. the assembly separated.
SWITZERLAND.
The accounts from Lucerne "to the 25th
ult. state lhac the influence of the three great
Powers (England France and Austria) be-
gan to make itself beneficially felt in Switzer-
land. The lesolve of those Powers to main-
tain intact the federal compact of 1815 the
inviolability of the principle fif cantonal so-
vereignty and the exclusive right of the can-
tons themselves to revise and amend the com-
pact by mutual friendly agreement among

The Premier's Son in Trouble. The Cla-
mor Publico of Madrid tells this anecdote
under the date of Toledo 15th April. " Yes-
terday in the Ifternoun the son of the ceh -brated
English Minister Sir Robert Peel one
of the Attaches of the British Embassy at Ma-
drid arrived here. Just as the carriage was
pissing before the post at the gate of Alcan-
tara the carabineers on dutv approached it
to ascertain whom it contained. The son of
Sir Robert Peel without any more ceremony
presented to the carabineers a brace of double-
birrelled pistols. The latter' wishing to ac-
kaovrle4ge'that delicate attention; rarito'th'eir
arms in order to repajrtheoung 'foreigner
in the sam coin aridlo make him understand
lUt wrier ca circnisurtancei Spaniard ere
not people to remain in the background.!
This friendly interview might have had. futuj
consequences but for the interference of some
civil officers. The political ' chief on being
informed of the occurrence summoned before
him the Englishman ; who told hinv with the
candor that characterises his nation that he
did not understand Spanish and (hat he hud
merely shown his pistols to the carabineers to
know if they were subject to duty. The po-
litical chief de 'ining the reply satisfactory;
allowed the innocent foreigner to depart.
Had he been a Spaniard ! "
