THE GREAT BRITAIN.—A great and painful sensation has been created in Liverpool; •which will lic( doubt cir-, culate far and wide, occasioned :by. a tinned . einnisteri having been picked up on Saturday morning, at' the Mouth of the Mersey, which contained two pieces of, paper,' on one of which was written, " Screw steamship_ , Gteat Britain fOundered off the Western Islands." 'Such_ At statement was ddubtle,ssly calculated to:cause great *Om Several 'cirbiimstances connected with• it, how-' ever, tend to discredit the averment.

Under almost any / conceivable circtimstances, 'therefore,' she could hardly have'been near the Azores, if these are the " Wnitern,, Islands". referred to in the " canister" paper;-before;, Thursday afternoon, and it is exceedingly .unprobabl4, ',that a :caniste," dropped near. the ,spot where the fatak iaccident is said to have 'occurred; could have drifted to., our shores in less time than 'the steamer herself woul, <take to : run: the'.distance. In addition to that, it is in conceivable that the canister, if so dropped; and making such unexpected speed, should have come of all places pn,- ; earth to the estuary 'et the Mersey. On the other hand,: . if, th e ," Western Islands" spoken of ate intended to re . present the " Hebrides;'? ' the 'case is not•further cleared. the ship should not have' been, under - ordinary eircum-, tstances in that-neighbourhood; • Looking at: the case all its extraordinary and unexpected bearthga l the Most charitable, and indeed the most pleasing, conjecture can come to is, that the contents of the canister Satre wicked and silly,hoax.

The Cotton Supply Reporter says It is confidently expected that 4,000,000 to 4,250,000 bales of cotton will be raised'next season in the United States. The agitation which har begunin this country with a view to creating new sources of supply has unquestionably stimulated, and will continue for some time to come to stimulate, an increased Production of slave grown cotton in America. So - far as the immediate results appear, we have reason to congratulate ourselves on attaining for: the time fieing'one object of this association;- viz:, an increase in; our supply of Cotton.

CORRESPONDENCE. • [We do not hold ourselves responsible for. the opinions of our oerrespondints.] • -4,--. - LIVERPOOL AND LONDON INSURANCE COMPANY. ( r TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, SlR,—The Concluding remarks in your article of yes terday, respecting the meeting of the above company, would lead one to suppose that the directors were un willing, and yielded reluctantly, to the formation o a committee of enquiry. Now, I was present during the whole time occupied, and beg respectfully to differ from you: On the, contrary, although lam politically opposed to -the chairman (Mr. Ewart), still I must, bear testi mony to his most impartial conduct and business-like demeanonr. 'None of the other directors took part; and so far from Mr. Ewart yielding 'reluctantly, or being unwilling that a committee should be appointed, my im pression was that he fearlessly, conscientiOusly, and fairly left the matter entirely in the hands of the meeting, and that if anything he favoured such appointment, from the lobk of disapprobation I observed from him towards Mr. Ilardman Earle, on the latter gentle Man; I think with mistaken zeal, pressing MS amendment. Nothing- could be fairer than the whole proceed ings, and I believe, without any influence exerted on either side, an impartial and independent committee was formed% not so much to satisfy the Liverpool share- . holders, who exhibited unbounded confidence in the Board of Directers, but, as Mr. Mozely justly remarked, to satisfy the numerous shareholders and polioy holders scattered over the ebbe, to whom the directors were strangers. I, in common with the body of proprie tors present, have , the utmost .confidence in the sound ness of the concern ; anti if anything was wanting to increase' that confidence, and to prove to me that Mr. Forster was actuated more from wounded " feelings and injured pride; than from any desire to bring the institution into disrepute—(seeing that he states his confidence' in the concern, up to this period,) it is this:—That I perceive from the Times, of the 15th inStant, he declines priseeedin, p ik further in the matter, knoviing, I presume, he cannot substantiate his charges, and.that his-feelings had led him too far. But, as some reason must be assigned, he complains that the com mittee was not appointed in the manner he wished. Whir, then, 'did he not attend the meeting ? or, why not his _personal friend, Mr. George F. Young, who was present, object to the same ' • ;The. fact is, a more fair and impartial committee could snot lave been elected; free: from all kinds of bias, in reich,l: am sure present will agree, together with the 'a t the l assent of the chairman ; and if this :hubbub now ends in smoke, the public will justly dis `eliminate the value of the respective pamphlets. am, six, Your obedient servant, F.
