From the N. Y. Com. Adv. ofFriday evening lasiI
Arrival Of the Liverpool.
LATER FROM EUROPE,

pool Capt. Fayrer, from Liverpool, last from
Cork.
The Liverpool took her departure on tho
Doth but after making $50 miles, against eS-
,remely rough weather and high seas, sus-
tanning, however, little damage, she put oack
on the Both, on account of the great con-
sumption Of coal which created what appears
ito have bcen a just apprehension that her
stock might fail her If her voyage was then
continued. The engines, IT would seen'' had
not been sufficiently tired before starting
The result was that she. pu, into Cork on the
eighth day.
| There She remained a week, taking in full
supplies, and starred again on Tuesday, thu
9Th instant. She arrived off Fire Island yes-
terday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, where she re-
slained for several hours IN consequence OF
the fog. She reached this city at 8 o'clock
this morning, and anchored in the East river,
little above the wharf appropriated for the
use Of the Great Western.
During the first part of the voyage the
wind was favorabe. One half the original
passengers left the vessel at Cork, among
whom were Mr.. John Van Buren, MIR. Butler,
! Mr. Mcintosh, of the British legation, aud
MIR. +. o. J. Smith, of Maine.
/ The passengers whom we have seen, speak
in the highest terms Of the conduct OF Capt,
Fayrer. Mr.. Shaw, agent OF the Iransatan-
tic Company, was also on board, having en-
barked at Cork, in compliance with the re-
quest of the passengers.
As soon as il was announced that the Liv-
erpool was coming up the river, hundreds
were to be seen vending their way to The
wharves, and we doubt whether more peop'o
were assembled on the occasion at the arrival
of the Great Western. The docks, with the
vessels lying at them, in the neighborhood oi
Pike and Rutgers streets, were crowded inns
morning with those who were ANXIOUS 10 on-
\ tain sight of this noble steamer.
! In external appearance the Liverpool does
not differ much from the Great western,
with the exception that she has two smoke
piaes, that her sides are not relieved by tho
white streak of the latter, and that she has
only three masis.
We are indebted to our esteemed FREUD
b. b. Thatcher Esq for London papers to tho

We are also indebted To the consignees
Messrs. Abraham Bell g. Co. for Dublin pa

A terrible explosion had taken place in
coalpit at Iowcn, near Whitehaven, by which
forty Of the workmen were killed. Two men
and two boys were blown out of the mouth
of the pit, like bullets from gun. Three ot
them were not killed, although severely
wounded, but the fourth fell back again down
, the shaft. and was dashed to pieces Thirty

u TIE STORM IN ENGLAND.
i The city of London was visited by trc-
. mcndous storm on the night OF October 2c'N
: the same having swept the whole Northern,
b, and Eastern coast of England with fearful
violence. In London, rain fell without M

creased To a furious gale, which at O'Clock
in the morning became hurricane, ana rased
Tor four hours with dreadful fury.

some very severely, but we believe that no
lives were lost.
II On the river the damage was comparatively
light, owing to the efficiency OF the means
employed tor securing the vessels, &c.
\ The hurricane was very severe all along
