papers to the evening Of the 3lst July, Liv-
erpooI to the lst Of August, and Paris to the
l7th July. She left Liverpool at 2 o'clock
her fifth voyage to New York. The bciths
had all been engaged for sometime previous
to her departure, and so great was the de-
mand that sixty, seventy, eighty and hun
dred pounds had been offered for persons TO
give up their berths. The number Of pas.

Among other interesting news, we have
the intelligence Of the deaths of Sultan

The correspondent Of the Commercial Ad.
vertiser, at Birmingham, gives an account of
the serious riots at that place. An effort was
made, it appears, 10 burn down the town by
the mob. The population of Birmingham is
about The same as that OF New York. The
desperate characters concerned with the
Char,ists, render the appearance ofthngs for
continuance Of quiet and order, very unia-
vorable. Much valuable property had been
destroyed by the mobites, and u number Of
persons had been arrested.

The crops in England, it is said, will be
fair. For wheat and all other grain the pros
pect is good. Should the wet weather con-
time however for much longer period, the
prospect would be less favorable.
A battle between the two great armies of
Turkey and Egypt, has been forced on by

Mr. Webster was present at great agri-
cultural meeting at Oxford, the first triennial
celebration Of the National agricultural So
ciety,) on the 18th Of July. At the dinner
nearly 3 600 persons sat down to table, under
an immense awning. Many good toasts and
speeches were elected, from among which
we select the remarks Of Mr.. Webster.
The Chairman, (;arl Spencer,) in giving
the next toast, said they had already drunk
the health OF foreign minister who was
present, but they had the honor and advan
tagc OF having among them other foreigner;
mol employed in any public capacity, who
had come among them for the purpose oil
seeing meeting of English farmers, such as
he believed never had been witnessed before.
but which he hoped might often be seen
again. Among these foreigners was one
gentlemen of distinguished character from
the United States Of America, [cbeers,l that
great country whose people we were obliged
legally to call foreigners but who were still
our brethren in blood. Loud cheers
ii was most gratifying to him that such a
man had been present at that meeting, that
he might know what the farmers of England
really were, and be able to report to his fell
low-cllzens the manner in which they were
united, from every class, in promoting their
peaceful and most important objects. lie
gave, "The health of Mr.. Webster and other
distinguished strangers" The toast was
received with much applause.
MIR. WEBSTER said the notice which the
noble carl at the head of the table had been
kind enough to take of him, and the friendly
sentiments which he had seen 6t to express
