The sudden arrival Of the Great Western, and the
spirit-stirring character of her news are yet the
principal topics of throughout this west
ern Babylon the Great. " What a short passageY'-
How the steamer stole up the harborr'-" What

PARISH" Has the Queen triumphed over the To-
ries!'-" What doyou think Of the pretty little wo-
mans spirita" These still the brief and rapid
questions Of the day
On Saturday we published in second edition
only part Of this important intelligence. We re-
publish the portions not yet seen by many OF our
readers, with such additional items have dis
covered, after pcrusal of numerous files, from
every part Of the world.
This intelligence is Of the very highest Importance

Both France and England are agitated by the same
passions-the same hopes-the same parties. 1t is
the last and great conflict between the opinions and
systems of the feudal ages and the present.

which ended in a revolution But for the dread Of
the middle classes towards political covulsion, and
the influence of the commercial interest, it might
have driven Louis Philippe from the throne. The
sudden appointment of Soalt ministry has patched
up the afar-but when the political passions are
awakened, it is difficult to repress them. The for
midabc coalition still exists in the Chambers, OPP
posing the king-and that opposition countenanees
agitation among the people, and may lead to deci
ded revolution before the summer is over.
France is still in ticklish condition. Nor is Eng
land better The crisis still exists there. The to-
ries have the House Of Lords and the recent defeat
will only make them feel more savage. A new min
istry has been appointed-or a dissolution may take
place. In any event the movement party in Eng
land gains, and the conservative loses ground 1t is
fortunate for England that her young Queen prefers
the liberal party in the state. That circum-
stance may break the force and ferocty Of the radi
cal agitation for reform and almost revolution.
On the whole, this news only makes US look with
greater interest and deeper anxiety for the next

Majesty. In the course of Thursday, however, the
Queen expressed strong desire TO retain about her
person certain wing ladies Of rank, who have hithcr

Robert Peel respectfully stated to her Majesty that

by Tory strangers. To this wanton indignity her
