The Expected Foreigs News, and Arrival
of the President steamship.
should this great and gorgeous leviathan of the
deep not arrive before noon to-day, she will then
have been out from England just IA days. We
must say that we are most anxiously expecting her
arrival; we did think that she would have reached
New York in ID days and a half; the British
Queen" and 50 Great Western" have both made the
westerly passage in that time, and the power OF
the engines of the President is proportionably great
er than either Of the other two vessels named -
However,, we shall expect her row every moment
until she arrives, and shall issue An extra within one
hour after she touches the dock.
OF the character of the news she will bring il is
almost impossible TO guess, so complicated are al
fairs now in Europe and the East. The two princi-
pal topics will be the Regency Bill aud the news
from China. The former is of vital importance to
England and in the Of the death of the Queen
and birth of living child, touch of her grand
fathers insanity may produce tremendous revou-
ton in all kinds of affairs in England The British
people will never consent be ruled for any length
of time by Prince Albert Regeat. The " Presi-
ill hrin tha all
final passage of this most important measure.
When the &" Great Western" left, a period of %
days had elapsed, and no overland mail had arrived
frsm India. The President left seven DAYS after
wards, making period of 30 days in this space
doubtless, a mail had arrived, which may bring us
intelligence from China. The Britannia brought
dates from Canton up to the 18th of March, and from
Bombay up to the 9th May inclusive. 30 days,Iater
from either OF these places will be worth hearing
about BY the 18th April, there is doubt that seve
raj Of the British vessels had arrived off Macao and
opened loud and sprightly sort Of talk with John
Chinaman. The second division of the British fleet
was to have sailed from Simon's Bay for Singapore,
in the latter part Of April.
Don Carlos being in exile, Cabrera in prison, and
Espertero in disgrace, shall not expect much Of
interest from Spain. The sulphur question being
settled, we feel NO interest about Sicily.
From France we shall have count OF Oh cele-
bratien Of trois jours, and the Of the
bones Of the heroes who fell that OCCASION TO the
Place Bastile. Probab ly he quarrel between Grou-
chy and his antagonist and Bourmo suit for libel
may elope strange facts about the battle Of
Waterloo.
The news from Persia and Syria will be highly
important, in both these countries hot insurrec
ton raging at the last accounts. Probably we
may hare the intelligence that Mehemet Ali has
given up the Turkish fleet.
Every different account the subject received
lately has contradcted the former in relation TO the
Russian expedition to Khiva. We think that the
Presidents news will settle that question: as well
As the hopelessness Of the prospects Of Russia in
Circassia.
In England, on the 18th Of July, the Canada Clef-
gy Reserves Bill and the Irish Registration Bill
were isposed Of. We shall look after their fate
by the LIST Of August, the bulk OF the hay, barley,
oats and rye harvests is overs and large portion of
the wheat j. often reaped by that time. The Intel-
sence Of the state OF the crops, therefore, by the
Z" Presiden;'' will be definite and important.
These facts, aud the usual commercial, fnanc ial
and local intelligence, will make the President ar
rival highly interesting one.
Therefore, look out for the " ExrR. HERALD" A
full description ef the President and hsr trial trip
will be found in the " w eeklv Hcrald' of to-day.
TaE GREAT WESTERN Is rapidly filling up with
passengers, and will sail next Tuesday, probably,
fall We are glad to this, and we hope she will
always go crowded. She il noble vessel, and as
regular clock work in her movements. Her arri-
walls and departures, both sides OF the Atlantic
have been as punctual AZ those Of the Albany and
New York steamers.
Captain Hoskens, who has commanded the West
ern ever since her launch, is a. gentemanly CEN
mandsr az passenger could wish. Every one who
sailed with him speaks Of him in the highest terms
Of praise. Nothing is left undone for their comfort
And his capital arrangements for the benefit Of the
Press have particularly to thank him for, far
a. we are coacerned. He affords all the news co.,
Iector. every facility, and very much obliged
to him for his attention to our dashing commodore,
Robert 8. Martin.
BooK OUT ron PIcxPocKErs-On the arrival Of
the steam ship President, and the departure Of the
Great Western, there will doubtless, a. usual, be
immense number Of pick pockets in attendance
among the crowd. We think that the agents Of
these tive ships should engage two or three Of our
most expert police officers, A. NJ G. Smith, Bowyer
Stanton, Gil and Ben Hays, SC to protect the las-
