Arrival of the Great Western
Highly important-Twentyda days later
from England Operations of the
United States Bank-The Crops
The Currency-throwing stones at
the Queen, &c. &c.
That splendid steam packet, the Great
| Western. arrived about ten o'clock on Satur-
day evening, Nov. Cd, bringing us London
dates to October 18th, inclusive. Our active
commodore, Robert Martin, boarded her an
hour before any of the Wall street loafers.
and by the kindness of Captain Hosken and
MIR. Taylor, his oblging clerk, our table was
heaped with English papers before eleven
o'clock.
There is no change in Cotton.
The British Queen left England Nov. LIST
she had 300 berths engaged when the West
ern left. The Siddons, which left Oct. ii.
has 30 on board.
The news is of a singular character; all al
once every other topic seems merged in that
OF the currency; particularly as concerns the
Bank OF England and its operations i'm Amer
lean financial affairs. We give below the
various contradictory statements from the
leading London journals, IN relation to Mr..
Jaudon's negotiations there is but little
doubt, however, that he has effected the loan
alluded to, and that the House of Barring & Co.
are henceforth to be the agents of the q. S.
Bank in Europe. 1t is now said that more
fl,sar,. l..
failures have taken place in London and Liv.
erpool.
With regard to Turkey and the East all is
In confusion. After the arrival of the British
Queen, the mercantile men in London came
to the conclusion that the Philadelphia Banks
would suspend, and the New York Banks
hold on, and they acted accordingly.
The Great Western brings out 1913 passen.
gers, among whom are the Bishop of Toronto,
Major Van Buren, (son of the Presidency and
lady, his Excellency Baron Roeune, Mr..
Vanderpool, Member of Congress, Professor
Shepland, Mr.. Cuinard or Halifax, n. S.
the contractor for the conveyance of the mail
by steam, Capt. Il. Hays, U. S. Navy, Col.
March, Capt. Workman, Lieut.. Lysson, Mr..
Cruikshank, 93d Regt., DIR. b. Haeer, DR..
Rogers, DIR. Il. Smith, Senior de Pima, Senior
de Martineg, Mons. Martial Chibaudier. and
a great number of ladies. She also brings
out some specie from the Bank of England,
and has general cargo of dry goods, silks,
&c. The specie is for British Service in
Canada, and amounts to over Ss2,OOO,OOO.
We are glad to be enabled to state that Mr..
Iaudon has made arrangements to meet all
the engagements of the u. S. Bank, and that
Messrs Barings will be the agents for that
establishment. We may also mention that
that gentleman has succeeded in getting his
| list filled for new loan Of gS0O, 600 sterling
for three years, secured on Pennsylvania 6
| per cent. stock at 94.-COurier.
| SUSPENSION oE CASH PAYMENTs.-Ne
have reason to believe that an order in council
would before this have been issued at the re-
quest of the bank, for the suspension of cash
payments and the issuing again of one and
two pound notes, had it not been discovered.
by high legal authority, that parliament
must fIrst have been assembled to give its
sanctlon-a reason, no doubt, of quite suffi-
Gent importance to induce the Melbourne
ministry to refuse the suggestion of the
bank bristol Journal
Gold, it appears, is returning from the con-
tnent to this country a remittance was recei-
we'd yesterday at the Bank Of England of sew
| enty-iive to one hundred thousand pounds in
specie; in addition to the above, within a
short period, some large amounts Of specie
have been received from Mexico and the Uni
ted States, and further larger remittances are
expected daily from other quarters of the
globe. These supplies will add to specie in
the Golfers of the Bank of England and the

more be thought of.-ISun.
| ETtroordfnary OUTRAGE on tire Queen
Some senseless scoundrel threw two large
stones at the head of the Queen, in her state
apartments at Windsor. The affair had Gre

up"
The Queen had been much ANNOYED by a
man named Bryan, who insisted on marrying
her.
The Queen was in excellent health and de-
sirous of being married.
Another batch of Coburgs have arrived At
Windsor from the Continent-the hereditary
Prince, and Prince Albert Of ''Saxe Coburr
Gotha' These young gentlemen have ia
ken up their abode in the Cas4le, a circum-
stance which has tended to revive the report
that the Queen is about to be married.
| Prince Albert, the younger of the two. is the
happy man. He is said to be Protestant.

The Court news records little cbapter oC
