ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT BRITAIN.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.

This magnificent vessel arrived in the river this
afternoon, amidst the enthusiastic rejoicings of the
thousands who had assembled on the pier-heads to
welcome her re-appearance in the waters of the
Mersey.
Her news from the gold regions, generally, has,
of course, been anticipated by the overland route.
The Great Britain left Melbourne, Jan. 4 ; Table
Bay, Cape of Good Hope, Feb. 20 ; was off Holy-
head at 6 a.m., April 2 ; and reached the bar at
12.30. Here sfie was detained 3i hours for water ;
and the Steam-tug Company's boat Albert, which
had been dispatched to meet her by Messrs. Gibbs,
Bright, and Co., came alongside. She brings 205
passengers, and 500,0001. in specie.
For some weeks past she has been anxiously ex-
pected ; and. rumours have frequently been abroad
that she was " off" the port. This morning, how-
ever, all doubts were set at rests-for the telegraph
announced that she was " off Holyhead " at six
o'clock, and the news rapidly spread through the
town. It being expected she would reach the river
about three o'clock, the landing-stage and pier-
heads were crowded long before that hour, by thou-
sands anxious to witness her arrival, and the same
feeling of enthusiasm in her favour was apparent
as when she took her departure for Australia.
About a quarter past three some guns were heard,
and thousands rushed down the streets towards the
river, thinking the Grearßritain had arrived. The
guns, however, were fired by the America mail
steamer, which had just received her outward
mails, and put on " full speed."
It will be remembered that the Great Britain
sailed from here for Melbourne on Saturday, the
21st of August, 1852, about 2 o'clock in the after-
noon, and as she has returned on Saturday, the 2d
of April, her voyage out and home will have occu-
pied exactly 32 weeks. This includes all stoppages,
which, on a first voyage, were unavoidable.
Capt. Matthews ordered steam to be put on at 3
o'clock, and the Great Britain was steered up the
channel towards Liverpool. She passed the Rock
Light at 3.30, and fired a number of guns to denote
that she had come into the port. As she steamed
up the river, thousands relieved their anxiety for
her safety by gazing on her noble proportions, and
hearty cheers welcomed her arrival.
There was a biith and a death on board—viz.:
At sea, on board the Great Britain (s.s.), on her
passage from Australia, on the 25th ult., the wife
of Mr. Win. Cross Yuille, of a daughter.—Died,
at sea, on board tho Groat Britain 01.14.), on the 4th
of February, Mr. Matthew Heath, a native of
Truro, Cornwall.
The passengers speak in tthe highest terms of the
qualities of the ship, and also of the courteous and
gentlemanly conduct of the commander and offi-
cers towards them.
It is the intention of the owners of the Great
Britain to dispatch her again to Australia in a short
time.
We subjoin the log from the day of her departure
from Melbourne. It tells better than we can the
progress of the vessel from her sailing till her ar-
rival :

AUSTRIAN TYRANNr.

The important correspondence, of which a summary
will be found in our Paris intelligence, will show that the
position of affairs between the Governments of Piedmont
and of Austria has in no degree diminished in its impor-
tant and threatening aspect.
There can be no doubt that the utter injustice and ini-
quity of the measure levelled by the Cabinet of Vienna
against the property of Sardinian subjects is such as to
justify the most determined resistance on the part of the
Piedmontese Government, and to call for the most cor-
dial support of the enlightened Governments to which it
has appealed.
To England especially it is impossible that such an
appeal should be addressed without awakening the liveli-
est sympathy, and we have no doubt that the sentiments
which, as the House of Commons learnt from Lord John
Russell, have been already expressed on this subject to
the Austrian Ministry will be vigorously and judici-
ously carried out under our present director of Foreign
Affairs.

To us, as the stronghold and leading example of con-
stitutional principles, it is most important to secure fair
play and justice to the only State in the South of
Europe which can be said to be maintaining those prin-
ciples with anergy and wisdom. It is to be hoped, on
the other hand, that the chronic blindness of Vienna
may, in this instance, be so far mitigated as to induce
that most disastrously unwise Court to abandon the
course of dishonesty and persecution which she has
initiated against her former subjects, now naturalised, in
accordance with her own treaty and guarantee, under
Sardinian rule and protection. It is difficult, indeed, to
conceive the persistence, even of Austria, in demands
and in measures which have aroused manifestations of
opinion so decided, so general, and so successfully
maintained as those which have in every instance fol-
lowed her unjust and untenable demands on the ques-
tion of political refugees, driven by Austrian oppression
to take refuge in foreign lands. —Morning Post.
