Burshcr kntelli xence BY the British Qsees-
More Important still.

The whole city yesterday was IN state OF the
highest excitement, arising from the arrival OF tAe
British Queen the day previous. All classes were
debating and cogtatng upen the complexion OF the
news received Ivy her. its purPort, and ITS probable
effects and the general conclusion arrived at by
every intelligent person that the was good
news-decidedly favorable in the aggregate.
The news may be considered good, although fur
thar decnt took place in the price Of cotton, and
probable demonstration to raise the rate Of interest
10 six per nj. Because these circumstances will
lpdsce ths holders Of cotton in Liverpool (where
eAey have ,ver 450O0O balcs) to make sales of the
came tn. win make money comparatively plenty,
prevent agnation in the regular business connec-
tion of the 'ew York and English markets. and pre-
vent those who oinclined, this country from
blocking up the business by holding to cotton
til high prices can be realized.
Nor is it simply in this important point Of
view that the is to be considered as good news
There is another point Of consideration with large
class Of the community, including the parvenus
(who are neither few nor small the fashionabes
and all the beautiful, and intellectual ladies of this
great city and country We Of course allude to the
highly interesting medical document, published by
Sir Ashley Cooper Mr. Brodie and others, attesting
the virginity OF Lady Flora Hastings BY this in
tsresting and scientific document, we learn the re-
markabe fact that young and beautiful lady, con-
nected with the nobility of Great Britain, retained
her vrginty to the day Of her DEATH the ad
age Of 80 years, without bewailing the same for two
months, upon the mountains, as was done BY the
pretty Jephtah, daughter Of the Judge of Israel be-
fore she was offered sacrifice and burnt to fine
cinder, according to the made by her facetious
father And the fact having been ascertained that
young lady Of the highest rank live virgin for
- years, surrounded by temptation, and folly, and
fashion; Of all the ISLANDERS fall to the ground
that have been uttered against the young and pretty
Victoria, by few rabid ocsfeco papers like the
"Star," and one or two Of similar stamp, who
would endeavor to persuade the Christian people Of
this country, that there is purity among the peer
esses, no balm in Gilead, and no physician in the
world, except Sir James Clark.
Upon the whole, therefore, we are bound to con-
slider the general complexion of the news brought by
the "British Queen relative to virginity, and
stocks and morality, and cotton, as good-decidedy
good. Bat, on the other hand there is one import
ant piece Of intelligence received by this arrival,
that is decidedly bad news; and calculated under all
the circumstances, to cast gloom upon the CONNER
cial, literary, jobbng, saltpetre trading and
fashionable portion Of the community; and should
not at all be surprised to learn that it has had serious
effect upon the old clothes market, produced panic
amongst the whiskered circles OF the city, and de-
saded decline in the price Of bears grease and Macas
sar oil. Every one knows the respect entertain
Tor my modest, unassuming, erudite well-infsrmed,
temperate, and esteemed contemporary, Col James
Watson Webb. The entire community is cognizant

and his morals to say nothing Of the growth of his

and almost vePt over him, as the blessed Savior Of
sinners wept over the wicked Jews Of Jerusalem. l

him into Westminter Abbey to the coronation Of

And, Though this is than he might have ex-
pssted, when he attempted to accomplish great pur-

regret il from the bottom Of my heart. His desire
was q most amiable enc, and my esteemed cotempo-
rary is a most amable and sensible, well informed
and de vilish well formed man. but he does indulge
occasionally in the ridiculous belief that he is able TO
manage great matters upon his own hook. For this
amiable weakness however he is to be pitied rather
than censured.
