From The Nep York Express Of Tuesday morning
ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.

Last night at half past ten o'clock the Great
Western arrived al Quarantine, having LEFT Bristol
at FIVE o'clock and thirty minutes on the evening of
the 9Th instant. She has l43 cabin passengers The
passage has been avery rough one, continued squalls
and gales prevailing
The grain trade has continued to occupy a consi-
derable share Of public attention, under existing
circumstances might be expected. Although the
weather has been fine generally speaking, The prices
Of wheat have not gone down any thing like what
might have been expected, which circumstance
strengthens the belief previously entertained that the
harvest will be deficient Those who are OF The OPP
posile opinion believe that prices will come down
and that shortly This of course is matter of OPT
MON al present. The duty on foreign wheat is now
two shilings and eight pence per quarter. Whether
il will come down 10 one shilling per quarter is al
present matter entirely OF speculation. The specu-
lalion for low duties have been very extensive.
Among the passengers are several names Of NOTE
in all professions. The American stage has an ad-
dion 10 Miss SheIrfthe celebrated cantatrice, and
Mr. Wilson the admirable tenor singer.
The unfayorable state Of the weather remarks the
Bristol Journal Of the 9Th, which within the last two
or three days has interrupted the progress Of the
corn harvest begins TO create much anxiety amongst
those farmers that have not secured their crops,
who ere they can bring their produce to market will
have to contend with influx Of foreign corn, which
is now admitted at an import duty of only four pence
per bushel.
The Corn Averages as published, give 72s Id
for the six weeks ending August 81, which reduces
the duty to IS. 3d. The weekly average is 74s Sd;
the weekly average on July ~, was 69s. Id In the
next week this last average was to be excluded from
the last six weeks, and The average for the week
ending September It'll to be added, and unless this
average shall be below Cos Id. (he average of the
week to be excluded)-the next six weeks will be
73s., and the duty will be down TO its minimum price
of Is.

TpENonrn Eastern BoUsDARY-Itwas sometime
since reported. throughout the country that Governor
Kent Of Maine, had directed survey to be made OF
The disputed boundary. on the side of New Branswck
and had ordered out the military TO protect the
veyors in the discharge OF their duty This
that time entirely destitute Of foundation. We
learn that Governor Kent has appointed
for running the line according treaty. This he
reauired by resolve Of the Legislature. do. il the
line should not have been by authority Of the
General Government by the lu of September. This
resolve was passed by the legislature OF Maine before
the proceedings took place in the Senate of the United
States which placed the question in a very different
position before the country from that in which il had
stood for a number Of years The legislature Of Maine
regarded the rights OF the State neglected by the
General Government and they deemed 1t necessary to
enforce attention TO important question: in which they
were chiefly interested, but which II 10 the excus
duty Of the general government 10 adjust We do no,
undertake 10 say whether the which they par
sued was discreet and proper but that proceeding
undoubtedly had the effect together with the earnest
interpretation Of the executive OF that state produce
decided action OF the Senate on the question, IL has
thus been placed in the most favorable situation for being
early adjusted by the general governmen-he on mode
in which IL caa be adjusted.
Notwithstanding this change in the position Of the ques
iioa since the resolve passed, Gov. Kent as ex
pressy required by the legislature has appointed
veyors to this line and If they can do so withsu,
infringing any spulauons entered into by the general
government or involving the Government in any eel.

proceed 10 run the line. But have apprehension

any thing which shall eRcroah the rrersgsiivss Of
the general government involve the country in HOSTILE
