Tur Pri xceron Sreamer.—This splendid war mer is hourly expected to arrive in the port of Liverpool, for her great gun, which is now attract- ing increased observation in Liverpool. The com mander of the Rock Fort has orders from the gov- emment to receive her with all possible respect, and the thirty-two pounders, which have not been fired since the accession of William the Fourth to the British throne, are kept in readiness to give her a real republican salute.—Wilmer's News Letter, May 4, ste Theatricals, Performances of ancient music, selected pieces from the works of Haydn, Bethooven and Himmel, are taking place under the direction of the Arch Bishop of York, at Hanover Square Rooms. Con- ducter, Sir Henry Bishop; Leader, W. Loder. Ma- dame Caradori Allen and Herr Standig! were among the performers. Cerito and her husband, St. Leon, had again ap- peared at Her Majesty’s Theatre, and the little troup of Kennoises had elicited immense applause, parti- cularly in their performance of some new combina- tion. There isa large framework, representing a mirror and a partof the children figure in front of it whilst acorresponding party behind a transparent medium mimic their evolutions. ‘The, effect of this is extraordinary, for the precision with which the imitations are realized are so perfect as to suggest doubt whether it is suggestion at all. That old New York favorite, Gabriel Ravel, is performing in London with great applause. Miss Cushman was Peg a at the Princess’ ‘Theatre supported by Mr. Wallack. A new ne fromthe pen of James Kenney, en- led ‘“Infatuation,” has been produced at the Prin- cess’ Theatre with considerable success. The scene is laid in France, in the time of Napoleon.t The two aie characters of the drama, the Duke and duchess de Bracciano, were admirably sustained by Miss Cushman and Mr. James Wallack. Of Miss Cushman we cannot speak in terms too high; she is raplilly rising in that favor with the English public which her telents as an actress, wherever she may be, cannot fail to command. Previously to the in- troduction of this piece, she had been playing seve- ral popular characters to well filled houses. Her de- lineation of the character of Mrs. Haller, in “The Stranger,” is as attractive as when first produced. Sheridan Knowles’s play of ‘The Hunchback” has been performed, opraatine ye to this excellent ac- tress inthe character of Julia. Her performance was marked throughout with much taste and judg- ment, adding fresh laurels, were that possible, te her already acquired fame. At the Lyceum Theatre, under Keeley, the man- agement is pecomning daily more popular. A new piece, under the title of “Our New Governess,” claims particular merit. At the Haymarket,Douglass Jerrold’s play, “Time Works Wonders,” is drawing capital houses. Web- ster will clear £5000 by it; one-tenth of this sum, it is said, he paid Jerrold for the play. Mario, at the Opera House, broke down twice on Saturday last, and has not sung since, though he was advertised last night in “Il Puritani.” When Ma- sings with Castellan, the new soprano —a_be- ing creature with a splendid organ—/a belle is regularly behind the scenes, watching Ma- srio’s movements like a turtle dove. The crowds at the opera each night perfectly astound one. . Mrs. Salmon, the celebrated vocalist, is suffering from extremest poverty. Fashions for May. ‘The great novelty ofthe season for silk dresses aro those in Pyramidal and transversal stripes, frequent] shaded on each side the stripe till the colour blends with that of the ground; there is also anew style of check, of a different texture where the check is formed. Bareges of new designs, taffetas foulards de Chine in wide checks like ribbon, moire, balzorines, &c., are all now in de- mand. Dark colors prevail in all new materials, and those of silk are as yet most fashionable. The forms do not vary. The demi puritaine and very high bodies, but openen cour, showing the chemisette, or guimpe, are the prevailing styles;some are with revers or rolling collars, gimp, fringe, and lace from the usual trimmings. The new trimming is with fringed ribbo: la Ninon, placed apart, rising half way up the skirt in gradual shades. Black mantelets will still be worn, trimmed with a double row of lace; they are rounded behind and reach very low, with scarf ends in front; some also are made of lace or imitation, and trimmed with fringed ribbon. Scarfs of embroidered mus! i ed with lace, and the mantelets dovariere frills of muslin festoons. Scarfs of the Arab or style are also fashionable, with wide stripes of colors; they are usually of very thick soft silk. Collars are worn quite high ‘to the throat with plain guimpe if the dress'is high, but embroidered guimpe for a low dress; the embroidery on collars is very delicate; oints d’armes and plemetis intermized and trimmed with lace. Cannezous will be much worn this spring; they are generally pointed behind with two or three rows of work. For pailles de riz; leghorns, and all fancy bonnets of gauze or crape, beautiful flowers are used; but for the inside coques of ribbon are preferred, sometimes delicate foliage is used. Veils and voilettes appear in- dispensable, varying according to the degree of elegance required. The principal novelty are the gauze lisse or crape bonnets, in three shades of the same colour; open straws are lined with pink or paille crape, silk, or ribbon, and ornamented with flowers, or fruit, intermixed with foliage; the forms are rather wore spread from the cheeks. Ribbons of several shades of the same colour ure much worn on caps as well as bonnets. Ireland. Repeat Association.—At the meeting of this as- sociation on Monday, the 21st ult., Mr. O’Connell presented the second report of the committee on the report of the Land Commissioners. Subsequently, he proceeded to comment on the speeches of Minis- ters Sas the great debate on the Maynooth Col- lege bill. Of Mr. Goulburn’s speech he thought lit- tle. That gentleman had taken out the value of the endowment in abuse of the clergy; but the tone of the other Ministers was different. For the first time in his life he had an opportunity of praising Sir Jas. Graham, and he did so most cordially, on account of the manliness by which his speech was character- ized. There was nothing more foolish than the cry of inconsistency. When a man was in the wrong, achange in his conduct merely amounted to a de- claration that he was wiser to-day than he was yes- terday. Who should presume to say that because a man was once wrong, he was never to emerge from the precincts of error No; he held out both his hands to Sir James Graham with forgiveness for the past, and he should be placed on a pedestal having inseribed on its base, ‘Justice to Ireland.” He had expressed his sorrow for having used the expres- sion that confession had reached its limits; and no man was either a Christian or a gentleman who did not eid hg after the symptoms of repentance mani- fested by him. Sir James Graham said that the May- nooth bill was but the precursor of future concessions to Ireland. They themselves had a Precursor So- ciety before they formed the Repeal Association, and he was glad that the honorable baronet had ar- rived at_ the stage of precursorship; all they wanted further from him now was his subscription. What did he tell the Recorder Shaw? y, this—that Ireland had been governed too leng tor the purpo- ses of Protestant ascendancy, and that they were to have no more of that. Now, for that declaration he thanked him heartily ; for the greatest evil in {reland had been Protestant ascendancy ; and, in his opinion, it would be as great an evil to have a Catholic ascendancy. There should be no ascen- dancy, then ; and hurrah for Sir James Graham, who was to assist them against it. He was pleased with Sir James Graham’s speech—it was a_ manly speech, a repentant speech ; and he thought the’ snould send him absolution from Conciliation Hall. Cheers and laughter.) glance at was that of fessed he felt for him. awkward predicamen' ‘The next speech he would r Robert Peel 3 and he con- He was in an exceedingly 3 and although there were some slips in his speech, he forgave them on that vecount. When he talked of them as being “ con- ,” he must have forgotten the termination of the prosecution. Convicted! Why, angels out of heaven might be convicted by a packed Dublin jury. Convicted! Were they not turned out of prison by the order of the House of Lords? Sir Robert said that the agitation could not be put down by force.— They knew that well ; they knew that force could not be used against men who instead of fighting were talking, and striving by peaceable and consti. tutional means to carry into effect the will of the people of Ireland. He told Sir Robert Peel that he might now take every soldier out of it; and if he wanted a volunteer corps, the Kepealers would form one for him. At all events after the declaration of the Prime Minister, the poor soldiers ought not to be cooped up in their barracks; and the eye-let holes, or, as the soldiers called them, “coward” holes, by which the barracks had been surrounded, ought to be removed; for if there were not a single soldier in the country, the repealers would take nothing by force. But Sir Robert said that they were to be put down by kindliness, concili- ation and generosity. He was obliged to him for irying At, tor certainly they had been long enough badly treated in consequence of the bigotry and fa- naticism of the English people, After more in this strain, Mr. O’Connell observed that the repeal cause never stood so high as at present, By the confession of their opponents, they were irresistible if the: kept within the law. From that spot, in the name of the sacred cause of repeal, he commanded the people of Ireland to abstain trom any breach of the jaw. He continued at some length to inculcate the paramount necessity of obedience to the constituted authorities, Mr, O’Coxwei.t. announced the amount of rs C NELI. o Tent to be £355 10s. 6d.; and expressed a hope that Pee| would double it before next meeting. Ina letter accepting the invitation toa banquet and triumphal entry at Cork, Mr. O’Connell says:— ‘The Ministers of the Crown, finding it to be total- ly useless to crush the repeal ‘spirit (4 force, or to extunguish it by legal form,’have adopted another and a less blameable course. They show a determina- tion to conciliate public opines by minor acts of jjue- tice und benevolence.. The Maynooth endowment billis a measure of this deseription, entirely devoid of any obnoxious prov and prong forward : ce in atesmanlike cor in. measure in itself, and entitled to gratitude, but immeasurabl) short of the substantial justice due from England, ana which can never be obtained save by the resto- ration of our domestic legislation. Whilst the Irish brooded in sorrow and irritation, but in silent acquiescence, over the grievances which afflicted their country, no relief was afforded, no concilia- tion suggested by the government. On the contrary, even in our earlier movements we were emphatical- ly told that concession—that is to say, justice to Ire- land—had long attained its limits. it assertion is nowemphatically retracted, and the loud ery of Irish agitation has penetrated into the interior cabi- net of the Ministry, and (force and fraud having been found useless) is endeavored to be quelled by acts of benevolence conferred in a conciliatory man- ner. Letus persevere. We have every incitement to persevere. Every concession niane England isa fresh proof of her former injustice. tt increases the strength of the ropesloty, and diminishes the Se ca number of those who are opposed to re- peal. France. On the 2ist ultimo began a discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on a motion by M. Muret de Bord, for the conversion of the five per cents; but it presented little interest for the foreigner. The Presse says that Saptain Page has been des- patched to Oceania with fresh instructions to Ad- miral Aamelin; and adds—“ We are assured that Captain Page’s mission refers to the approaching abandonment of our possessions in Oceania. It is so serious a step that we had better await ampler in- formation on the subject.” The Chamber of Deputies rejected, on the 26th ult. by a_considerable majority, the proposition of Masate: Doss and Taillandier, for the suppression of duelling. On the same day, M. Cremieux presented to the Chamber various petitions forwarded by the inhabi- tants of Corsica, demanding the abrogation of the law of the 1th of April, 1882, which maintained the banishment of the Napoleon family, pronounced in 1816, and condemned the elder branch of the Bour- ban dynasty to eternal exile. ‘The Chamber, on be- ing consulted, referred those petitions to the Presi- dent of the Council and the Minister of the Interior. The Minister of Marine had forwarded orders to the commander of the French naval station at Bour- bon, to send one of the vessels under his command to Bussora, to take on board the sculptured monu- ments lately discovered at Nineveh by Messrs. Botta and Flandin. ‘Those remains had been removed on rafts as far as Bagdad, and thence to Bussora. A hall in the palace of the Louvre is now fitting up for their reception. ‘The serious illness of M. Guizot, whose life was said at one time to be in peril, has afforded food for the quidnunes ; and the anxiety of Louis Philippe about the safety of his able and accom- pate minister, shows the danger to which he has cen exposed. ‘To enable him to recruit his health a.conge appears in the Moniteur, and if ever Mi- nister required a respite from the fatigue of office, badgered and worried on all sides as he has been, that Minister is Guizot. He is about to seek re- fae by temporary retirement to _his villa at Passy. it appears that the accounts of his illness have been somewhat exaggerated; but enough remains to show thatthe energies of one of the oe spirits of the age have been overtaxed, and that the con- sequences will be, in all probability, a partial, if not a complete reconstruction of his Cabinet. With the prospect. before him, his official retirement at the present time—temporary though it be—will not prove very injurious to his fame. Count Duchatel is Guizot’s successor. wea Thiers is said to be soliciting favor at Court, and the absence of that hostility to England, which has been a primary stockjin trade of the French jour- nals lately,has almost disappeared—to the great com- fort of the expectant Minister, who appears to have equal facility in raising a storm, and in calming it with his wand. [From Paris Presse.] We learn froma certain source that the British squadron recently fitted out at Portsmouth, and placed under the orders of Adml. Seymour, isintended to act in the Pacific Ocean. The ‘principal object of this expedition is to be ready in case of a rupture be- tween Great Britain and the United States, to occu- py, militarily, the ports and important positions of the Oregon, and to capture the numerous American merchantmen and whalers. We are far from de- siring a war, but it becomes us to examine carefully the various chances which either party has_ of suc- cess, although we would almost dare to affirm that Great Britain willyield, as she has always done, in presence of the menacing attitude of her rival. But it is an historical fact that every time Great Britain has yielded to America, some advantage has ac- crued to France. The treaty of 1783, by which the Cabinet of St. James recognized the independence of the United Siates, caused us to recover possession of Sengal, delivered us from an English Commis- sioner Aaya at Dunkirk, and restored to Spain, ourally, the Floridas and Port Mahon, which Great Britain retained nearly a century. We trust that the example of the treaty of Washington in 1842 will equally bear its fruits. Spain, Our accounts from Madrid of the 2st ult., state thatthe Chamber of Deputies resumed on that day the discussion on the amendment of M. Liorente, who had proposed a reduction in the supplies re- quired for the maintenance of the carabineros or customs’ officers. After a desultory debate, the amendment was put to the vote and rejected by 64 against 7. All the advices received trom the pro- vinces were most satisfactory. Switzerland. The New Zurich Gazette announces that a treaty was concluded at {Lucerne on the ultimo, be- tween the Commissioners of the Government of Lu- cerne and those of the cantons of Berne, Soleure, Basle Campagne, and Argau, relative to the settin, at liberty the prisoners. The indemnity to be pai: for their release_is stipulated at_350,CO0f, of which Berne is to pay 70,000f, Soleure 20,000f, Basle Cam- pagne 35,000f, Argau 200,000f, and the other cantons 25,000f. The contracting parties expect that the Di- . yon 180,000f, so that Lucerne will receive in al , 0008. : Our private correspondence from Berne of the 26th ult., announces that the storm which threatened the government of that canton was Hotere for the pre- sent. The authorities had exerted themselves to produce that result. , Affairs in Switzerland are in statu quo. The terms of the amnesty have been arranged, and Lu- cerne has promised to discharge her prisoners. Ru- mours prevail that the federation is about to be di- vided into the Catholic and Protestant. Cantons.— The amnesty referred to will cost the other Cantons The accounts from Madrid of the 25th ult. state that the whole of the sitting of the Chamber of De- puties on that day was occupied iu discussing the validity of the last elections at Salamanca. The Heraldo announces as certain the satisfactory con- clusion of the negotiations with the Court of ome. Greece. The Semaphore de Marseilles had received a letter from Athens, dated the 8th, and mentioning that the aflairs of Greece continued to pre-occupy both the Divan and the diplomatic body. Chekib Effendi had lately addressed a note tothe representatives of the three protecting Powers, in which he set forth the complaints of ‘Turkey ugainst Greece, and de- clared that if the latter continued to menace the poo of the neighboring Ottoman provinces, the orte would be under he necessity of adopting en- ergetic measures, and stationing corps of observation along the Greek frontier. ‘This note was forwarded to the Ministers of England, France and Russia, in Athens, by whom it was submitted to the Hellenic aa cen , he atone ost tumultuous sitting was anticipated for the 2d inst. in the Chamber of Deputies. M. Thiers was to interrogate Ministers touching the alleged ex- istence of the Order of Jesuits in France, which would let in the whole question at issue between the church and all its opponents. The Constitutionnel says that M, Guizot has re- served for his consideration during his absence three questions— namely, the Right of Search, the Texas, and the marriage of the Queen of Spain. The same journal circulates an absurb rumor of supposed in- trigues in which Marshal Soult and M. Duchatel are said to be engaged aguinst M. Guizot. Russia, The Journal des Debats, of Saturday last, states that the appointment of Count Woronzoff to the of- fice of commander-in-chief of the army of the pro- vice of Caucasus, who is invested with extraordinary powers, has restored to the army part of the energy which it had entirely lost. ie Russian govern- ment appears to rely as much on the administrative as on the ets services of the Count. Count Wo- ronzofi had addressed a proclamation to the inhabi- tants of Daghestan, in which he tells them that he has been commissioned by the Emperor to restore order and tranquility, happiness and prosperity to the country; that they cannot hope to conquer those benefits by force of arms; and that if they close their ears to his salutary advice—in other words if they do not submit—he shall be ‘compelled to tight them, and shall involve the vengeance of God on them, who prefer to shed blood.” Egypt. The latest advices from Alexandria are to the 10th ultimo. The Pasha had been residing at Cairo for some weeks past, and intended in a few days pro- ceeding on a visit to the lower provinces,and thence to Alexandria for the summer. Ibrahim Pasha, jr. nephew of Mehemet Ali, was to proceed to Euro} in the course of the present month, by the Nile fri- gate, with the view of consulting the medical facul- ty on the state of his health; he has been suffering severely from disease of the liver. Reports from Syria stated that the plague had bro- ken out at Jerusalem, and that the number of deaths was 404 day, A letter from C. canteens il letter from Constantinople, April 2, in the Au; burg Ga: e following aa Pael the hero of the campaign last year against the Alba- nians, has demanded his reedll, which the govern- ment hasted to grant him. After his departure the Arnauts assembled to the number of 1,000, and sud- denly attacked and pillaged the convent of St. Ar- seme. They then attacked another convent, and as- sassinated three monks. ‘The negotiations for peace between Turkey and Persia have not yet arrived at any result. .

The Smyrna a joaraale of the 9th ult., contain ac- counts from Beyrout of the 3rd. Syria was then comparatively calm, and it was expected that the concessions made to the Maronites by the Porte would have the effect of pacitymg Mount Lebanon. The news of the dismissal of Essad Pasha from the government of Beyrout, had caused much sensation and regret in that town, Advices from Us of the 26th ult., stated that the Mecca caravan had been this year more numerous than ever, and that no less than 3,000 Persians accompanied It.

The Punjaub continued in its unsettled state; and all was speculation as to the future movements o! the British troops concentrated on its frontier. “ It is, however,” says the Bengal Hurkaru, “ hardly likely that we shall willingly rush into a war at the beginning of the hot season; and the general impres- sion seems to be, that the Sutlej frontier is being strengthened on the chance of the Sikhs crossin; the river, and that in the next cold season we shi * pluck the pear?” “ “The Governor General,” continues the same journal, “ yet remains atthe Presidency, and still lends the full light of his countenance to the cause of education and internal improvement. He has since our last presided at two scholastic anniversaries, those of the Hooghly College and the Calcutta Ma- drissa or Mahomedan College. On each occasion he made a speech strongly indicative: of a desire for the amelioration of the country and the moral_and intellectual advancement of the people. But it is evident that these pacific employments do not en- frees his attention or divert his mind from the pecu- ar external relations of the country at the present crisis ; and nobody would be taken by surprise were the next Calcutta Gazette to contain a proclamation of war with the Punjaub, or were the Governor Ge- neral next to be heard of on his way to Ferozepore.”” The papers are full of comments on the arrest of Colonel Wallace, for an excess of orders in descend- ing the Elephant Rock in pursuit of the rebels of Sawunt Warree. His object was to take the village of Seevapore. He conveyed 600 infantry, with mor- tars, ordnance, spare ammunition, commissariat sup- plies, &c., down a steep 110 feet high. After the de- scent of that precipice, says the United Service G@ zette, ‘ the troops and artillery had to pass along the ridge about 200 yards in length, and only wide enough for one man at a time; on the right of which was a perpendicular scarp of about 150 feet, on the left a slope of some sixty degrees, not above twenty feet in width, with a perpendicular fall of several feet on the outside. Atthe end of the first ridge was a declivity of at least forty feet, leading to a second ridge of about 300 yards in length, and but little wider than the first, terminating in a third fall of about twenty feet, from which a pathway, ruaning over undulating ground covered with a thick jungle, led to the ees ‘of Seevapore, which is about two miles distant from the Elephant Rock, and surround- ed with jungles on all sides.” Colonel Wallace had received orders from General Delamotte not to ad- vance, but he received the orders after the advance had been partially commenced, when retreat was impossible, except at a frightful sacrifice; and suc- cess is regarded as jeaatrineithe daring manazu vre. The rock is now called Wallace Droog. _ By the last mail intelligence reached this country of a draft act augmenting the duties on goods im- ported into British India. The Calcutta Chamber of Commerce met to represent the injurious effects which the proposed measure we td have upon com- merce, with respect both to tle local government and to the manufacturing bodies§ at home. It has since been ascertained, ‘ upon good authority,” that there is no intention of any jiate change, but that the notice was put forth by way of obtaining the opinion of those interested. ‘ Markets. Loxpon Monry Manrxer, May 3, P. M.—Since our last the English Securities have been flat and heavy; Consols have declined one-half per cent., and business to a limit- ed amount only has been transacted. Thi itation of the country on the re ster rant has, in the minds of some, affected the stability of Robert Pell’s ministry, and though the question was carried on the second read- ing by alarge majority, it is evident that the opposition in the country is increasing. The hostile language upon the Oregon question has also, with other more tri to operate onthe market.

Liverroot Cotron Marxet—For the Week ending it 25.—American short-stapled cotton is }d per lb. her this week, and we close with a strong market. This altered tone from the previous dullness has been brought about mainly by the remark of the Prime Minis- ter, about the “little cloud in the West,” so anxiously do the public wait upon the words dropping from high au- thority, and of such importance is the most remote possi- bility considered of a misunderstanding between this country and the United States. Already, money to a con- siderable amount is being transferred from the share to the cotton market. It is very true that, independent of th isturbing causes, the low scale of our currency makes an investment in the article not @ very dangerous experiment. In this way, some of the success! speculators are making what they esteem hedge,” and are likely to let their investments lie for a time, unless their object should be realised more prompt- ly than it is perhaps reasonable to expect. Tending in the same direction, we lear that the accounts from India are less bad than before, and those from Manchester are better. Altogether, we have had a great stir during the last few days. On Wednesday 20,000 bags were sold; Yesterday 15,000; and to-day oxain it is large—making a total for the week of 72,450 bags. Every description is looking up, but the advance on no kind is so marked as in the qualities first named. 39,000 American and 100 Su- rat have been taken on speculation, and 600 American, 300 Pernams, 130 Surat, and 30 Madras, for export.

Inow Trave.—A reaction to some extent has taken place in the prices of iron since sailing of the tast packet, and pri are generally lower—in pig iron. persons not connected with the trade, including many of very limited means, have speculated in the article, pay- ing’a small deposit on the purchase, and stipulating for full payment ae @ speci! short period of time—these engagements many of the speculators have been unable to fala, which has caused a considerable quantity of iron to be thrown upon the market, The makers in Glasgow are firm at £5 10s., and are sold out, some of them, till the end of the present year,and some sales have been effected for delivery in 1846, at about the present price. The make ofiron in Scotland is not at all increased, nor can it be for a length of time, from the difficulty in geting ma- terials and workmen. The price in Scotch pig iron in Liverpool is £5 10s. per ton. In Staffordshire, the ad- vance which was laid on early in April, so injudiciously, has been taken off in the present week, ‘and it is expected the present price will be maintained, as most of the ae are well off for orders, and coals and pig iron scarce. Best refined iron ds gonad £13, hoop iron £12, sheet iron £13. In Wales, prices remain without varia- tion, most of the large works being fully engaged in rails for some time to come.: Merchant bar iron has, however, receded in this market, and may now be quoted at £9 10s. to £9 15s. pertton, and the market dull.

Havas, April 30.—Cotton—Du: the whole of the past week considerable spirit has been predominating fea- ture in our market; dealers from the trade as well as speculators have come boldly forward, and have not re- stricted their operations to the Cottons in port; several cargoesto arrive having also been sold, in which, how- ever, the latter have no doubt taken the principal share. ‘The demand has been directed chiefly to Mobiles, in the rades from 60f to 61f 50, and from the animated charac- r of the buying, it is more than probable the transac- tions would have been to a greater extent, had holders evinced less tenacity in their pretensions. They have nevertheless been daily to a Tege amount, and prices have again experienced an ame! 1f, on all United States descriptions. The intelligence from the interior is, however, far from wearing an enlivening as- pect, which, if it does notallay the tide of speculation, acts in a great degree prejudicially to business for con- sumption, and may eventually have some influence in the market; but our present stock being moderate, and not likely to be materiaily increased by the shipments expected,there seems to be little cause for sppreeeusic, although it would perhaps be premature to look for any further amendment until the situation of trade in the ma- nufacturing districts becomes of a less unfavorable na- ture. The packet ship Argo, with New York dates of joration of the 8th inst. is in the offing. Ashes—Rather more in- quiry has been manifested, without any activity in the transactions, which consist of 200 bris, American Pot Ash, first brane 1844, at 34f 50, 14 bris., 1845, at 36f, and 84 bris.

We therefore quote prices as before, at to 29f. per 50 kil., duty (If. af) id. We have received no addition to our stock during the week. Whelebone—Our stock being juite exhausted, we have no transactions to record since thst report.

A rumor was prevalent last evening at the several hotels that the Hon#Edward Everett was a passenger in the Britannia.” The origin of the report may have been confounded with the arrival, yesterday, at the Astor, of his Excellency A.,J.

C.—Since the running of our Exe resses We perceive that the gentlemen conducting this ine have determined to follow the example we set and travel over their line of roads as fast as tl ~t ought to.— From a letter we have perused in the Mobile Register, signed by several of the first merchants of Mobile, we learn that, by the “Central Route,” the distance from Montgomery to Charleston, is accomplished in from four to six hours less time than it is over what is called the “Express Mail Route.” From Experience we can attest to one fact, and that is, that the traveller experiences much more comfort and ease on this route than on any other. Over the “ {xpress Mail Route,” 170 miles of the distance has to be passed over in stage-coaches, while but 140 miles of staging occurs on the " Central Route.” We learn that it is the intention of the Savannah and Macon Rail Road Gompany, to extend their line from Macon westward to Columbus, thereby Lg the stage travel to 45 miles. With such intentions as these, they deserve all countenance from the citizens of New Orleans and Mebile.—N. O. Crescent City, May 10. Kry@ ov rar Mosqurro Suore.—It is understood that it has been notified to his excellency Col, Fan- court; that the coronation of the King of the Mosquito Shore will, according to custom, be celebrated at Be- lize.

M. Agent and Consul General in Musquito,—Belize, Hon., Observer, April 19, ene ET NEW YORK HERALD. 5 se: demi Teeter: “y,} May 20, bed The News from Europe. At last we have the news. The Britannia steamer arrived at Bosten yesterday morning at 5 o’clock, and the news was received here by the Long Island Railroad about 6 o’clock last evening. We published an Extra in half an hour thereafter. The news by this arrival is not very interesting— the most important being a slight rise in the price of cotton—good. The Maynooth bill is passing through its usual stages inthe House of Commons. It creates great religious excitement, but it does not seem probable that the Lords will dare to defeat it. The two old parties—whigs and conservatives—are wholly divi- ded andjdisorganized, on this revival of a new Catho- lic question. Sir Robert Peel is obstinate. Little additional has been said of the United States, Texas, or Oregon—nothing in Parliament. The English journals give up the Texas question as a “gone coon,” and begin to anticipate that Yankee- doodledom will soon seek to annex California, and other parts of Mexico. The English are just be- ginning to see clearer than usual. In Ireland; Daniel O’Connell is so busy and so delighted, in shoveling in the instalments of tribute tohis own pockets, and justice to Ireland, that he has no time to vent more abuse on the United States. We expect an explosion by next steamer. Miss Cushman is still making a great sensation in London. We see nothing further of Forrest, Hack- ett, or Dan Marble, but suppose they are alive. Trade is good—times are prosperous—the Queen is holding drawing-rooms—and all nature is full of life and vigor. One thing we must not forget—the great iron steamer comes out to New York next month—so look out. The Mission to England. This question is creating a great deal of excite- ment throughout the country, and in all quarters, north, south and west. The point argued seems to be, whether Mr. Van Buren or Mr. Calhoun is the fitter man to go to England on this special mission. This question appears to divide the democratic jour- nals in pretty much the same shape and degree as the nomination of a Presidential candidate did be- fore the meeting of the Baltimore Convention. From some of the southern journals we perceive that the President, after the rejection of the mission by Mr. Elmore and Mr. Pickens, offered it to Gene- ral James Hamilton, by whom also it was refused. A great deal will grow out of this discussion be- fore it be terminated by the settlement of the inte- resting question which has originated it. Itis the first distinct question in which the force of the two great sections of the democratic party has been call- ed forth. Unrrep Srates Navy.—The list of the Neapoli- tan navy which we published the othér day, and which we obtained from the officers of the Sicilian frigate at present in our harbor, has attracted agreat deal of attention. It has been compared with the list of the United States navy given in this journal a few days previously, and many have very naturally expressed their surprise on finding that the King of the Two Sicilies—so diminutive a monarch amengst the great potentates of the earth—has actually a navy which is almost half as powerful as that of the United States of America! In steam vessels the Neapolitan navy is fur superior to that of this country. The first thing the President should do is to look at the state of our navy, before entering on any ne- gotiations. Wecan negotiate successfully only with arms in our hands. Congress ought to be called to- gether, and the navy put in an effective position. The truth cannot be disguised that we are at present in a mostmiserable and helpless condition, so far as respects the means of defence provided by Govern- ment. In case of emergency we would have to de- pend entirely on the voluntary efforts of the great cities and particular localities. Heauru or THE Crry.—We again draw the atter- tion of the new Common Council to the state of the streets. The filthy and horrid condition in which they are at present is really beyond description. The mud at the crossings is ankle deep, and garbage of every kind lays in all directions—dead dogs, pigs, ashes, and dirt, mixed up in one heterogeneous mass ; and after the rainy weather, that has prevail- ed the last day or two, the first hot day will cause it to send up the most noxious exhalations, and per- haps lead to some epidemic. We have already the amall pox raging in our midst; and surely some means ought to be taken to prevent the appearance of any fresh disease, even if that is not to be check- ed. The present Common Council came in under a perfect phrensy of reform, but certainly they have as yet been as supine and listless as their predecessors; nay, more 80, for they at least did occasionally some goed towards cleaning the streets, but this party treats that subject with apparent perfect indifference. Theatricals. Tue Panx.—Anderson commenced his farewell engagement last night in “Macbeth.” The house, although not so much crowded as on many of the nights of his last engagement, was well filled with a very recpectable audience, many of whom were la- dies. Mr. Anderson’s impersonation of Macbeth, although it falls short of that presented by some of the great tragedians whose names will ever be as- sociated with that immortal creation of Shakspeare, is still highly respectable—in not a few particulars, indeed, more than respectable—evincing a very just conception, carried out with eminent artistical pow- er. The well knewn soliloquy in the first act was spoken with marked ability and effect, and occa- sionally throughout the parformance there were passages in which Mr. Anderson evinced a degree of talent and genius greater than we had seen in any of his previous performances. We have not space, however, iust now, togo into a formal critique. Miss Ellis is a lady of great and versatile talent, but she is not altogether capable of sustaining the part of Lady Macbeth. Mr. Dyott’s “ Macduff” was very creditable, as that gentleman’s performances generally are. The tragedy, altogether, was re- ecived with great approbation. To-night Mr. Anderson plays the “Elder Brother,” one of those parts which he has made his own, and in which we do not believe he has any rival. Casrie Ganpen.—A large and fashionable au- dience, numbering we should pudes, some fifteen hundred, were assembled in, this delightful resort last night to witness the performance of the Barbe1 of Seville. The music went off'in most excellent style, and the favorable opinion of the eee has itherto.— been fully expressed by the attendance To-night ‘a change of progiamme takes place, and isler Brethers, Herr Cline, and Miss Rosa Garcia are the attractions. New Bowery Tueatre.—Young Clark’s benefit last night, was one of the greatest triumphs in the theatrical line we ever witnessed. About 1,500 per- sons were present, and the performances went off with great eclat. A low, miserable set of fellows, probably jealous of the extraordinary success of th: establishment, attempted to create a disturbance, but were immediately expelled by the vigilant offi cers employed. To-night the old English Comedy of the “Soldier's Daughter” is repeated, by request and a number of new “Stars”? are engaged, among whom we notice the name of our old favorite Nick- enson, the comedian. Paumo’s Ovrta Hovsr.—The nineteenth Concert of the Ethiopian Serenaders was fashionably anc fully attended last night. We have seldom seen so many ladies within these walls before, and_the troupe sang most capitally. ‘The “Rail Road Over. ture” is a glorious {hing and the “Lecture on Phre- nology” was loudly applauded. An entire change of performance to-night, Reersrer or New York.—We understand that Mr. E. Williams,who commenced fifteen years ag the first publication of the “New York Register,” but was compelled from the embarrassments grow ing out of the great revulsion of '37 to suspend it, hasagain made arrangements for bringing out « “New York Register” ina few days. It_ will con- tain all the most interesting statistics of this city ano State, such as may be useful to men of business, merchants, lawyers and others} Eriscora, Exxcrion in Pgynsyivania.—We give in this day’s paper a very accurate and compli- mentary biographical sketch of Dr. Tyng, the prin- cipal candidate for the Episeopate of Pennsylvania, in order thaf the Convention which meets this eve- ning in Philadelphia may be able to grope its way through the difficulties with which it is surrounded. We are decidedly in favor of Dr. Tyng’s election to the Bishopric of Pennsylvania, being chiefly moved to that friendly disposition by the pious desire and purpose of returning good for evil. The Doctor has preached sermons against us, and cut us up in every way, but on looking into the sacred volume which has been given asa light to the feetand a lamp to the path of Dr. Tyng and ourselves and all other misera- ble sinners, we find it written that we are to return good for evil, to bless them that curse us, and to pray for them that despitefully use us. We mean to practice in this sublime precept, and therefore we are decidedly in favor of the elevation of the Doctor to the Episcopate, asjhe desires and wishes it. We thus mean to show him that in one whom he has es- teemed little better than a heathen man and a publi- can, the Christian virtues and graces can bud forth as sweetly and luxuriantly, nay far more sweetly and luxuriantly than in those that make great pretensions to piety and the possession of the Holy Spirit—that in fact we can exhibit more practical christianity than a Bishop or one who expects to be a Bishop. This election in Pennsylvania becomes invested with a great degree of interest on account of the pe- culiar condition of the Episcopal Church at this mo- ment with respect to the Puseyite controversy. The result of this election will have a very important bearing on the Puseyite movement. ‘There will al- 8o be a great controversy in the Bishopric of New York in a short time, and we perceive that one of the members of the church militant—Colonel Webb, of pious memory, and who discharges the solemn duties of episcopal bull-dog on the tower of David— has been making a most fortunate and timeous dis- covery of an attempt to introduce the leaven of Pope- ty into the Protestant manufactory of the bread of life. It appears that Dr. Seabury, in commenting on Dr. Wainwright’s edition of the Book of Common Prayer, takes occasion to compliment the reverend writer of that pious work, for ‘“‘his fearless testimony to the ancient custom of praying for the dead.” The pious bull-dog smells at a rat instantly, and gives the alarm. Accordingly out comes Dr. Wainwright with a sharp rebuke of his reverend brother’s “mis- representation,” stoutly asserting that he abhors and abominates the Popish custom of praying for the dead ; whereupon the gallant Colonel, of the church militant, goes off in a perfect blaze of holy satisfaction, delight, indignation and horror. What is particularly funny in Col. ‘Webb’s holy rhapsody is the high esteem which he professes for Bishop Hughes—he is ‘amiable, meek and christian,” and quite right in praying forthe dead, but Dr. Seabury is any thing but a Christian, and for his ““Rome-ward tendencies merits crucifix- ion.” Well,we mean,with the help of Col. Webb, to keep the Episcopal church in a state of cohesion, if pos- sible. The Methodists, the Baptists, the Pres- byterians, have each split into two large pieces; but thus far, our extreme vigilance— always with the help of Webb—has preserved the Episcopal church from division. We very much ffear,,however, that this work of mei- cy and labor of love will be less successful in future. In these days of change, innovation, Fourierism, Socialism, State Conventionism—all sorts of radi and upheaving ideas—we doubt whether we can’t keep the Episcopal church right end up much longer. Qc We had prepared some remarks on the sub- ject of the communication of the jury in the case of Jones to his Hon. Judge Edmonds and{associates, in relation to the outrageous neglect of the watchmen at the corner of Prince and Wooster streets, to which we took occasion to refer at the conclusion of the trial of the unfortunate ‘prisoner, but press of fo- reign matter excludes them. We refer, however, to the communieation of the jury, who tried the case» which will be found under its proper head in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, and will, we trust, have the desired effect. We have been assured, on high authority, that this matter will be vigorously prosecuted.

London, Samuel Jeffries, master, arrived at this port, having on board four men who had been cast away on the Coast of New Holland. On the 28th of June last, the Cervantes, of N. London, Cept. Gibson, was lost in Julian Bay, on the west coast of New Holland: the crew lost every thing but whet they stood in, there be- ing no inhabitants within 200 miles of the place where they were wrecked. After suffering incredible hard- ships, Captain Gibson with fifteen of his men, arrived at Geograp! yoy, onthe 29th July, having travelled up- wards of 200 miles through a sandy desert, one man having died for want of food and water. Here they found Na Ew Jefiries whaling with his ship, who imme- diately administered to their wants and comforts in the most charitable manner’ On the Sth of August last, the Halcyon, of N. London, Captain Dailey, then laying in raphy Bay, perted both her chains and was fost her crew entirely destitute of the common ne- cer 3 of life. Captain Jefiries immediately told the crew of the unfortunate vessels not te despond, but be of co cheer, that although they amounted to forty in num- t,he would not les a man behind—that would andon his voyage, his own pecuniary interests, as well as those of his owners, to save life ; and although whales were plenty, and he might have filled his vessel, he gave up the voyage, and forthwith commenced preparations to e the shipwrecked mariners comfortable. His first step was to sond his carpenter on shore and erect a tem- porary hut, that they might have some other shelter be- side the canopy of heaven, at the same time providing: them with an ample supply of provisions, the best the ship afforded. This having been accomplished, he next proceeded to put his ship in readiness to receive so large a number of pomensers, fitting up accommodations for them, &e. ‘The large supply of water which it was ne- cessary to take to meet the wants of so many, precluded all possibility of taking any more oil. His arrangement being all completed, Captain Jeffries received the on board, and sailed for the Isle of France, where h rived in safety, leaving the men, with the exception o the four above alluded to, He then applied to the Ameri- can commercial agent, J. Gurilfith, resident there, but could obtain no satisfaction whatever, nor would he take any charge of the poor sufferers, but shipped them off on board English vessels, instead of providing for them until an opportunity occurred to send them to the land of their nativity.
