responded to with nine hearty rounds of appiaoqe. The &till!,
sailed from Cork on the 4th Ultimo, and for five days she had
not a glimpse of the sun. The raisage was very rough, but
during the severest gales the passengers, even at table; ekpe-
rienced no inconvenience of any kind. On leaving Cork,
she took on board 453 tons of coals and fio barrels of rosin,
of which 23 tons of the former and 15 barrels of the latter
• • 4
remained when snO arri,!e.ti at New York. Fier ave-
rage rate of sailing was eight and a half miles an
hour ; but bad the weather been favourable, the engineer was
of opinion that she would have made from ten to twelve miles
an hour—and even more--without difficulty. We proposed to
have given here a description of the sensation created in
New ?brk by the arrival of these magnificent steam vessels,
extracted fidrit the New york daily journals, but ~v;e find it
more convenient to inelutle it among our extracts, under the
head of American news, to wh:ch we have pleasure in referring
our readers. As regards the officers and crews of the Sirius and
Great Western, their extreme urbanity ha,; won for them a
greater share of popular approbation than ever attended tn ,:ue-
cessful efforts of the Directors of any similar expedition.
Every place of public amusement was thrown open to them
free of any expense ; and after every form in which civility could
manifest itself was exhausted, the Nuv York Daily Whig of
the Ist inst. thus announced the departure of- the Sirius for
London :

The steam ship Sirius leaves us this day fur London, and she hears
with her the heartfelt wishes of this great people, for her happy and
safe arrival. Her captain and officers have won the respect and affec-
tion of the New Yorkers, and they will long be remembered with the
warmest emotion. May they be greeted, on their arrival at their native
shores, with all the enthusiasm with which England can receive her gal-
lant sons returning from a great achievement ; and may they come
back to us with fresh assurances that the ties of brotherhood between
Great Britain and the United States have been strengthened by the mu-
tual demonstrations of good feeling which the new era in commerce has
awakened.

On leaving the Harbour of New York Captain ROBERTS
was saluted with seventeen guns—an honour in itself onpre
cedented in the annals of the merchant service. Had thy!
Sirius been twice as large, all her berths would have been
occupied by the citizens of the New World—eager to avail
themselves of their newly-discovered proximity to Europe.
The New York Banks have resumed specie payments.
This, by the other States, is called an experiment, but the
Journals assure us that it has been, and will continue to be,
attended with the happiest results.

We have no very important news from the Canadas. The
little there is will be found under the proper head in another
part of The Sun.

By the arrival of the Tagus steamer at Falmouth, on Saturday,
we have received Lisbon Papers of the 15th inst. inclusive.
Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN has put off his return to London for
another week. Owing to the increased Tariff duties the trade
of Lisbon was rapidly declining, The KING and QUEEN have,
to the surprise of the Court, taken it into their heads to spend
the three summer months at Cintra. Of political news, save
the honour of disturbances at Goa, there is not a syllable in
these journals.
Th

le Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have all been
received. They are filled with accounts of the death of
Prince TALLEYRAND, which took place on Thursday evening
—of which ample highly interesting details will be found in
another part of The Sun. His deat:-I, as a political event, is
no longer of importance to Europe.
The Moniteur of Friday contains the follocsing telegraphic
despatch :

" TOULON, MAY 16, HALF-PAST I P.M.
" ALGIERS, MAY 12,

" MARSHAL VALLEE TO THE MINISTER OF WEE.
" The Province of Algiers continues perfectly tranquil. Our
establishment at Belida is becoming consolidated ; the Arabs have made
no attempt against it, and they bring a regular supply of provisions to
the markets established near our camp. The works of 'fortification are
so far advanced as to afford shelter to our troops ; in a few days they will
be completed. The Beni-Salahs have submitted; the Hadjouts come to
our markets, and a considerable number of Arabs, who had long since
abandoned the plain, are returning to their douars, under the protection
of our camps.

" The strong and permanent manner in which we have every where
taken possession of the country appears to have removed from their
minds all uncertainty with regard to our intentions,"

We have advices from Madrid of the 12th inst. Mr. GEORGE
BARNOW, whose incarceration for the sale of the New Testament
in Spanish we noticed at some length last week, was liberated on
the 11th. On the 10th General NARVAEZ arrived in Madrid by
the command of the War Minister. The Government had ac-
cepted Brigadier FLINTER'S resignation, whom was also on his
way from Truxillo to the Spanish capital. No affair of import-
ance had taken place in the Provinces.
