The steamer Great Western arrived in New
York OH Monday afternoon from Bristol, whenc,
she sailed OH the 9th. She brought ITO passen
gers. The British Queen was to leave England
for this country on the 10th of July.
The news brought by the Great Western is OF
considerable importance.
War, it will he seen, has broken out in the
East. The Pacha of Egypt has been soIemnly
ieposed lby the SuItan.-The commercial intel
ligence is gloomy. There existed an uncom
mon scarcity of money in England, and our
great staple had suffered decline in her mar
ket
The most important piece of political news
brought by the Great Western, is the breaking
out of open war between the Grand Porte and
the Pacha of Egypt.-lt was taken for granted
in the French and English papers, tina: Mehem-
ct Ali and his son are. stimulated ,gsupported and
encouraged by the Emperor of Russia, who
hopes, it is supposed, in case of the breaking up
of the Turkish empire, to como in for very
large share Of the spoils.
The French Chamber Of Deputies is very
decided on the point of sustaining Turkey against
these supposed hostile designs on the part of
Russia ALI parties have united in voting ten
million of francs for this object. Both Franco
and England have very strong fleets in the Med
iterranean. They are now in company and ac-
ting together. Whether they will continue to
do so remains to be seen. 1t is feared that th,
war in the East may lead to collision between
France and England OH the one side, and Rus
sia on the other, such MS may bring on Il gener-
al war.
Advices from India, overland, had reached
London to the 9Th of May from Calcutta, and
the Goth from Bombay. The second edition of
the Sun Of the evening of the 9Th has the follow
ing paragraphs.
No information has as. yet ranspired respect
ing the intelligence received from India by
special messenger, and the papers and letters
nre not expected until Monday; but it appears
that tho Calcutta Gazette has been received at
Paiis, stating that an extensive conspiracy against
the English had been discovered by magis-
trnte at Madras, and that the Shah of Persia and
Maun Singh were at the head of the plot, also
that Shah had marched against Herat with no.
600 men, after detatclfing corps of 5000 men
to Busllire.
According to the above information, which
is not of favorable nature, we should not be
surprised to hear that our army in India is mar
ching on Caboul
This moment report prevails that Colonel
Salos Brigade has had some fighting in India,
particulars not known.
The Canadian Government Bill has been read
a second time in the House of Commons, The
bin for uniting the two provinces has been
Withdrawn
Some serious difficulties and disturbances with
the Chartists had occurred in Birmingham. 1t
appears that they were holding National Con
vention there, to consider what ultimate step
should be taken, provided Parliament should
be prol ogued without acting on the charter.
Several wild schemes were proposed among
Others, general run upon the banks, and a to-
tai cessation from labor on the part Of the oper
atives.
