ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.


BY last nights mail we received our
usual supply of Newly York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore papers, though the Balti-
more Chronicle only brought us the in
telligence which follows, received by the
Great Western, which arrived at New
York on the 22d ult. The London dates
are to the 9Th, 81 days later than previ-
Gus advices. The money market is in a
more gloomy state than ever, and the pro-
liability is that the Illinois commissioners
will have to return without making a loan
on any terms.--Peorio Register of last
| Saturday.
We are sorry to say there is material
decline in cotton amounting in the aggre-
gate to about aths of penny.
Of political news the most important is
the commencement of hostilities between
Turkey and E gypt; an event which from
its liability to involve other powers is Of
more importance than might at first be
imagined.
The Great Western arrived out in the
very short passage Of thirteen days.
Release Of the Canadian Prisoners. =
The London correspondent of the New
York Commercial Advertiser, under date
Of July 4, writes:
1t affords me great pleasure to inform
you that the government have determin.
ed. to release Mr.. John G. Parker and the
several other Canadian prisoners who
pleaded guilty to the charge preferred
against them in Upper Canada, in the
hope of receiving her majesty's pardon.

Parker, and never saw him look better.
Daniel Webster.-Yo on will see by the
London papers that this gentleman is not
lost sight of in this great city. He has
been the favored guest of many distin-
guished persons, among whom was her
majesty the queen.
The Bunk Of England. -.Iti is more than
probable that before this reaches you, you
will have heard that the bank of England
has increased the rate of interest to five
and a half per cent.We have been for
some days in state of great excitement
with the belief that it would go even an
other step, and make it six.
Canadian afairs.--Up to 3 o'clock
this afternoon July s. no order has been
received at Newgate for the discharge of
the prisoners. At that hour t saw the
governor, chaplain and one Of the sher-
ifs.
Let me call your attention to the debate
ON the affairs of Canada, which took place
in the commons last night. Mr. Butler
you will perceive, was quite severe upon
Sir George Arthur. Nothing will be done

minutes after the police made their appear

ers. They were overpowered and driv-
en- from the field, after receiving some Sc
we're wounds. The fourth regiment of
dragons was called out, to which was
added some infantry, and the rioters were
in turn driven from the, ground.

lost, and in consequence he had determin-
ed to hide himself and pursue some hon
est calling, with the hope Of refunding The
money. He had sent for his family some
time previous to the denouement. It's
thought the letter was merely written to
evade detection. Dixon's son has gone

The following is zeetze the toughest
story we ever attempted to swallow:
REMARKABLE EscApE.--On the pas.
sage Of the Ship Anaxander, from New
Orleans to New York, young lad Of |
about fourteen years, from naturally
frolicsome and mischievous disposition,
became SO troublesome in his pranks, that
lit was threatened by the Captain if they
were continued, that he would con6ne
him in water cask. Our youngster took
no heed however, and at his next offence
was put in the cask, which was headed
up, leaving large bung-hole for the ad
mission of air. That night the ship en-
|countered violent storm, and in sudden
lurch, the cask containing the boy, rolled
over into the sea. The circumstance was
not noticed by those on board. Forun-
nately the cask struck bung up, and float.
ed about thirty hours, when it was thrown
upon the beach of Cape St Bias. Here
the boy made desperate efforts to exr-
cate himself from his prison, without sue
cess, and in despair gave up to die. Some
COWS, however, strolling on the beach,
were attracted to the cask; and in walking
around it, one of the number, it being fly
time, switched her tail into the bung-hole
which the lad grasped with desperate
resolution. The COW beloved and set
off for life, and after running some two
hundred yards with the cask, struck i
against log on the beach, and knocked
lit, as we say, into cock'd hat. The
boy, thus providentially released, was
discovered by some fishermen on the
Point and taken into Apalachieola, where
"a small collection being made for him, ne
was enabled to proceed North by the way
of Columbus. Est Joseph Times.

were best prepared to pay for their lands.
Information of this kind might have been
easily obtained and transmitted by the
Receiver and Register of this District,
and if acted upon all would have been
well. This information might have been
relied OH, because, as far as we know,
these gentlemen have the confidence of
the settlers. In this way the actual set
tier, and not the speculator, would be
benefited; and those townships which are
yet unsettled would soon be filled up by
hardy yeomanry, who would add much
to the wealth and prosperity of Iowa.
If, however, the land is to be sold as adj
vertised, then these unsettled townships,
or the best portions of them, will inevi-
tably fall into the hands Of greedy specu-
lators, and thus the growth and prosperity
of the Territory will be greatly retarded.
Throughout our editorial course, for
the last ten years, we have endeavored to
advocate the cause Of the actual settler, as
the columns of our paper will abundantly
show; but never did we feel more solicit
tude in their behalf than at the present
time. Their interest is not only at stake,
but the interests and welfare of this love-
Ily Territory are in jeopardy. And we
believe there is remedy;-at least there
is yet some hope that by making proper
representations to the Government, it
may be induced to make such change
in its arrangements for effecting these
sales, as will meet the wishes of the Peo-
| pie. We would therefore recommend,
that there be meetings held in those
Townships, which feel at all aggrieved
on this subject, and that full and fair
expression Of their wishes be commune
Gated to the Register and Receiver at this
place,w who we are sure will take pleasure in
forwarding any information that will re-
suit in their benefit. There should be no
delay in regard to the time of holding
these meetings, and all the information
that emanates from them should be com.
municated in as definite manner as pos
sible, SO as to avoid all misunderstanding.
This is the only way that we are aware
Of to avert the calamities which we ap.
prehend will result from an indiscrimi-
nate sale Of all the lands in this District
the coming fall, and if attended to prompt
ly, Understandings and vigorously, in its
results it will have great influence in
securing the future prosperity of Iowa.

BURLINGTON LoTs.-It is little sur.
prising that no instructions have yet been
issued from the General Land Office at
Washington, to grant patents and permit
those who are DESTROYS to pay. for their
lots the privilege of SO doing. The evil
of this delay calls loudly for remedy
We understand that statement has been
forwarded from the Land Office in this
place, setting forth the necessity Of the
case, and urging immediate action there
on. We trust this state of things NAV
not much longer continue, and that the
representations that have been made to the
General Land Office will secure the OBJ
ject SO much desired. We do not know
how much the services of the Commits.
sloners amount to, but after their per d.
EN- allowance is awarded considerable
balance must remain, which, according to-
the law, is to be expended in improving
the town.
Considerable excitement prevailed in
Peoria during the past week, in conse-
quence of the defalcation and disappear
ance Of Mr.. Grin Hamlin, who had hith.
erto been looked upon as an upright and
honest man. Il appears that he had a
contract to execute some work on the
Central Rail Road. After he had done
work sufficient to amount to $4,000. he
applied to Mr.. Dixon, the Commission
er, for some money. Mr.. D. informed
him that he had no funds then on hand.
but on the LIST July, he would have SILL
600 in the bank at Shawneetown. He
prevailed on Mr.. III. to take the check. al
though II. expressed considerable reluc-
lance in SO doing, but in consideration Of
his having 1000 bushels of Corn which
ne wished to dispose of at Cincinnati. and
Shawneetown being on his route. he con.
scented. Not returning as soon as expect.
ed Mr.. D. began to manifest some ankle
ty. Shortly after, letter was received
by Mr. D. from Hamlin, which stated that
having q good opportunity to speculate.
with this large sum Of money, he had pur.
chased ''Mineral Point money, Cairo and
Dubuque at discount, but while on his
passage up, he was drawn in TO playing
