ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.

Bristol whence she sailed Oh the l2lh INST she de
the passage in just fifteen days the hrst iec or ur
of which She encountered extremely rough weather,
On the third day of her voyage her bowsprt was car
red away.
The most irnportant news which the Great Western
brings us is that received in London by the over iahd
mail from China, India and Egypt. Although every
tbinc s onet IN Canton at the last da'es, yet the ar
rival of Admiral Elliot with his expedition, would
be the signal Of immediate commencement Oh hoSt''

II discovers the determination of Mehemet Ali TO re-
s all a,,.muts To cncroach what he considers hs
rights; some violent proceeding was hourly expected,
! and considerable apprchrnslons were entertained
| The English and French Journals are almost wholly
enarossed with the momentous movements in regard
10 This truIv alarming difficulty. Although there IS
every assurance given that those two nations will
avoid war between themselves yet great preparations

cur BE tins rs 1t may, there IS hardly hope lr

been shed.

to be of great interest.

The crops all over Great Britain still promise to be
abundant with the single exception OF the hop crops
the failure of which is attributed in great to
the absence of those electric showers, during the pre-
sent year, which prove highly destructive 10 the
smother Nv and other obnoxious bghts
The general state of trade does not appear 10 have
improved since our last arrival There had bee
raj great pancs the stock markets, and al! kinds oil
stock had fallen materially in the OF few days
before the Great Western sailed.
This is attributed To various causes. Our readers
will be better informed this important suhicc, if
make few extracts from the articles on the money
arkcts
"Thcre does not appear to be any fresh for
alarm this mornlng, as the general tenor "t the news
from France decidedly pacific: but hrcausc money Is
scarce and few sales OF Stocks and Shares are pressed
the iobberS are GsIearened and prices giving way
rapidly The failure at Manchester which We noticed
Yesterday, cannot affect the value of Stocks directly
although il is natural that Railway Shares should feel
H. as the parties had specialized deeply IN them. Even
Dutch Bonds and others not compromised by the pro-
cecdngs of the quadrupe alliance have felt the depes
sion equally with Our own securities Under these al

The public papers Will show you the increased ex-
element and uncas'ness IN regard TO the eastern ques
inst. and the serious fall in both the French and Br-
tsh funds, particularly the former, and which is in
part attributed to the disturbances in Paris This state
ofthngs acts unavorably the money market, and in
some measure checks business operations generally
The British funds have rallied little the last day
two.
The Cotton market has been very quiet and languid
