LIVERPOOL.  Thursday Morning. - the Europa arrived in the Mersey a little
before 9 o'clock this morning.  Her news has been generally anticipated via
Queenstown.  The election in Massachusetts had resulted in the triumph of
the republicans.  In New York it was thought that the republicans had
elected their candidate for Governor.  In New Jersey and Michigan the
republican tickets were likewise successful.  The steamer Indian arrived out
at Quebec on the 1st.  Mr. MASON had agreed to retire from the French
mission in the spring, contemporaneously with Mr. DALLAS.  The New York
cotton market exhibited little or no change.  The receipts of cotton for the
week amounted at all the ports to 115,600 bales, and the exports to Great
Britain to 22,000 bales.  At New Orleans on the 2nd, cotton was in good
demand at 11-3/4 c. for middling.  Freights to Liverpool, 15s  32 days.  At
New York on the 2nd, cotton was heavy, and rather lower.  Other commercial
and miscellaneous news generally telegraphed from Queenstown.

Advices from America state the Indian Empire steamer went foul of a brig on
leaving New York, and put into Halifax.  The Pacific steamer, reported as
having left New York on the 2nd inst., is stated was not to sail from that
port until the 8th inst.

Parliament was this day further prorogued till the 30th January next.  The
'Evening Herald' says it was stated among the officials of the House that
Tuesday, 2nd February, will probably be the day on which Parliament will
assemble for the dispatch of business.

A despatch dated, Marseilles, 18th November, says the Australian outward
mail will arrive at 3.0 p.m., and the Wye steamer will leave for Malta.

The PRINCE OF WALES left Dover at 9.0 last night, in the Admiralty yacht,
Black Eagle, for Ostend, on his way to Berlin to visit the PRINCESS
FREDERICK WILLIAM.  A stiff north-easter was blowing.  A large crowd cheered
the Prince upon his departure.

The Admiralty has despatched two steam sloops from Plymouth to the ships of
the Channel to relieve the homeward bound fleet.  Although the casualties
reported on Lloyd's books to-day are rather heavy, they are as yet by no
means so numerous or important as might have been expected from the severity
of the easterly gales.  At Falmouth the ships are riding in safety, and a
change of wind will enable them, as well as others, to get into their
respective ports.  The wrecks hitherto, excepting one or two steamers and a
few vessels laden with tallow and grain, have not been so serious this
season as previously.

Mr. S. M. GASON, Justice of the Peace, residing at Littleton, near Nenagh,
was fired at on Monday evening from behind a hedge by a blacksmith.  The
slugs perforated Mr. GASON's coat and vest and grazed his side, and he lost
a good deal of blood.  The outrage is not believed to have any connexion
with the Ribbon conspiracy.

The 'Globe' says the Lord Chief Justice of Common Pleas is again so
seriously indisposed as not to able to attend Court..
