In the first place, itis made on the supposition that each vessel will,on an average, have but one hundred and twenty passengers, and second- ly, the large sum of $186,982, is set down in the disbursement as a sum to cover every possible expense that might occur beyond the regular outlays.

We are just in the beginning of a new ministry, and nothing of interest will transpire till Lord John Russell gives his programme of govern: | ment in the House of Commons. The war between the United States and Mexico does not make much sensation here. It is gen- publie as the United States. In other respects, I have no doubt the English people would like, rather than otherwise, that Mexico was under the dominion of the United States.

The honor of having made the passage from the Old World to New York, in the shortest time, therefore belongs to the mammoth steamship Great Britain, and her noble Captain Hosken.

Since the discharge of the prisoner uj a recognizance of $10,000, the excitement in the pablie mind has been daily increasing. Handbills ing the judge, Mr. Clay, the volunteer counsel of the prison er, and the eight jurors who were understood to have been for the acquittal of Shelby, were circulated over the town; and tho most superficial er could not fail to discern the deep and irritated eonditien of the pub- lic mind. To-day, an open demonstration feeling was made, and for atime threatened the most se rious consequences.
