ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM SHIP
GREAT WESTERN.

The steam packet GREAT WESTERN,
LIEUTENANT HosKEN, arrived nj New York
on Thursday morning, bringing London
papers To the evening Of Oct Goth, and Liv-
erpool to the 9Th, nineteen DAYS later than
before received. We make The annexed
extracts from the New York papers.
The Great Western had very bolster
Gus passage, and at one time the storm YVES
so violent that she was compelled to :" lay
to" for six hours. Her outward passage
was made in twelve days and ten hours.
The steam packet Liverpool sailed from
Liverpool on the 2Olh October, ugreeably TO
announcement. Her non arrival of course
creates some unensiness in New York, but
the presumption is that her supply of coal
proved deficient, and that, finding this to be
the case, she either steered for some nearer
port, or is making the best of her way to
New York with no other propeling power
than her sails.
The Liverpool was seen on The 2lst at
A. M. with her engine stopped and blow
ing OH her steam. She was seen again ON
the same morning at IL A. M.-Tu.kar
bearing W.N. w. distant about nine miles
going at between o and 10 knots an hour,
against strong head wind and sea-
Liverpool paper says -
The ship had on board about $50 tons of
dry goods, for which the sum of E5 IS. per
ton was paid, 469 tons of coal, and "a tons
OF MIR. Williams turfstone, or compressed
fuel Her consumption of coal is estimated
at 20 cwt. for every 10 miles; and calcula-
ting upon fair average passage, she will
have a surplus of I47 tons of coal Oh reach
ing New York.
The news from Spain was still unfavora-
bic for the Queen. Pardinas, one of her
generals, had sustained severe defeat
| from Cabrera, who had also collected an
immense amour, Of booty with " hich lie
was slowly retiring to rejoin the main army
of the Carlists.
General Aaix has been appointed minis
ter of war. Espartero was n, Logrono,
making no movement, Don Carlos at Flor
rio, and his general in chief Maroto at
Estella.
Letters from Turkey bring information
that the Pncha of Egypt has paid up the
arrears Of his tribute to :he Porte, for the
year 1886, and that he is preparing for the
payment of the arrears Of 1887.
Louis Bonaparte has left Switzerland.
He passed Coblen,z on the 18th, on his
way to England
| These letters also say that the British and
Turkish fleets had united and repaired to
the entrance of the Dardanelles; and i,
was believed that they would pass into the
Black Sea, to watch the proceedings of the
Russians.
An arrangement has been effected be-
tween the Turkish and Egyptian govern
ments, through the Intervention of England,
by which the difficulties heretofore existing
between the Sultan and Mehemet Ali have
been adjusted and what is more import ant,
the influence Of England with the Porte has
been greatly strengthened by the operation,
and that of Russia propor,ionably dimin-
ished. In connexion with this subject, and
the affairs of Persia and India, there are
rumors of an approaching war between
Russia and England. That Russia is max
ing extensive military preparation, in the
Southern Provinces of that empire, is
abundantly confirmed, thev may be,
and probably are, intended only for the
more vigorous prosecution of the war a.
gainst the Circassians.
French fleet was about to proceed to
Buenos Ayres,-probaby with view TO
more efficient measures than the existing
: blockade.
