NINETEEN DAYS LATER FROM
EUROPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.
The steam packet Great Western, Capt.
Hosken, arrived at New York from Bristol
ON Tuesday morning, bringing London pa
pers to the 9TH inst. and Bristol TO the 9Th,
the day of departure. We make few ex
tracts from the Evening Post Of Tuesday,
The Great Western left Bristol at half pas I
five o'clock in the afternoon of the 9th, and
reached the Quarantine, Staten Island, al
half past ten o'clock on Monday evening.
Severe gales tended to lengthcn her pas
sage at least couple of days beyond wha,
it would have been had she been favored with
prosperous weather. One hundred and forty
three cabin passengers came out in her, aud
at a meeting on board, on Monday night,
they unanimously expressed their decided
appreciation "of the performance OF, this yes
sci during her present voyage, and that not
withstanding her time of arrival had been
pro:ractcd one or two days in consequence
of head winds and heavy seas for thirteen
days, they feel it due to Captain Hosken to
express their full conviction of her perfect
strength and safety as a sea boat, and Of his
skill as an able and vgilant commander"
1t appears that all her bcrths l30)
were engaged in England before she
arrived out from New York on her last
trip. The London Times says
$50 numerous were the applications,
and of course the number disappointed,
that premiums of twenty guineas have
been offered, and would be given, for
bcrths on the first refusal of vacancies
from parties who by any accident might
be prevented from going. In one in
stance party having engaged double
berth, was written to in DcvOnshire, to
request accommodation for passenger
ifthe whole were not absolutely wanted.
The Directors have fitted up every yard
of disposable space on the deck, as well
as below, in order to make room for
the number stated. Upon the eighty
seven passengers home, and the l3O
out, at 40 guineas passage money per
head in the saloon, and 80 guineas cab
in, each way, the Directors Of the
Great Western will have received,
therefore, upwards of 8,O00l exclusive
of the benefit derived from the convey
ance of goods, of which the Great
Western brought from New York, to
the extent of about 200 tons measure
ment."
The steamer Royal William arrived
out in ID l-2 days, and the Great Wcs-
tern in 13 l-2 days. The Royal Will
liam is advertised to sail from Liverpool
for New York on the Goth of Septem-
Der. The steam ship Liverpool has
been purchased by the Transatlantic
Steam Company, to sail from Liverpool
on the Goth October, from which it will
be seen that we shall have three steam
ships running between New York and
England.
We learn that advices havc been received
from the Secretary Of the British and Amcri.
can Steam Navigating Company, of London,
that the British Queen il expected to be at
sea in November.
The Steam Ship President, of twenty four
WIS cuitbSHs Wy VIC uuOtt
named Company, was in frame, and expected
to be rendy for the station during the mex,
Summer or Autumn.
&. Macintosh & Co.'S large mandatory in
Manchester was destroyed by fire on the
25th ult. and it was subsequently, discovered
that five men were burnt. The loss is csti
mated at 20,C0Cl. u fourth OF which was in
sured.
MUTINY.-A letter from Lloyds agent OF
Emdon dated the let inst. gives the particu
lars Of mutiny on board the brig Braganzo,
Captain Jolly, bound from Phladel phia TO
Genoa. After being three weeks at sea, o
mutiny was raised by part of the crew, who
after various crueltes to the captain, mate,
the owner Of tho vessel and cargo, and their
wives, put them adriit on the ocean 75 miles
from land, in an open boat, with the excep-
tion Of the Captain whom they drowned
Tho vessel wns then s,eercd for the EIbe,
but before reaching there she got ashore
The explanation given on shore by the crew
excited suspicion-tbey were arrested and
the truth came out. It subsequently appears
that the boat which was put adriit with The
assencers, was fallen in with by vessel
which arrived at GreeDock, and the party
saved, including two Of tho crew and three
passengers.
The opening Of tho London and Brming-
ham Railway was fixed for the 18th inst.
In the Cotton market, there seems TO be
no change OF consequence, though the prices
are rather tending downwards if any thing.
The attention Of oil classes in England
appears to be directed TO the crops, as il was
feared tlln, prices would advance still furthe'
but the continuance Of favorable weather has
dispcllcd many OF these fears, aud given cor
