ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST BOSTON AND
LIVERPOOL STEAM SHIP.

LIVERPOOL STEAM SHIP.
The first of the Boston and Liverpool Steam
Ships has arrived. About five o'clock yesterday
afternoon. the Telegraph ut the City Hall announ
ced that the gallant Steamer UNICORN was coming
into our harbor. The United States receiving
ship Columbus, with band of music board,
and the Revenue Gutter Hamilton, gaily dccora-
ted with flags, had been stationed near the end OF
Long Wharf in anticipation OF the event and
cannon had also been got in readiness on the Gun
ard wharf ut East Boston, to give the Steamer
salute AS soon the Unicorn was announced,
by Telegraph, the American and British flags were
hosted on the City Hall, and thrown TO the breeze
from The masts of vessels in the harbor, and from
numerous elevated points along the wharves, and
at East Boston. Capt. Sturgs gave the Steamer
q gallant salute from the Revenue Gutter, as she
approached the city, and the people echoed every
peal of the cannon with enthusiastic shouts loud
err than even the roar of artillery itself.
We learn from Capt. Douglass, that the Uni
corn left Liverpool on the 10Th of May, and arri-
we'd at Halifax the LIST inst about ten O'Clock,
A. NJ, and remained there until ii o'clock, p.
NJ She brought out 81 cabin passengers to Hal
flax, and "a to Boston; and files of London pa.
pers to the 18th of May, Liverpool of the 10Th and
Paris of the 18th.
The foreign intelligence is not important. Mat
ters remained in England without change
The latest intelligence from Conslantinople is
of the 22d of April. An express had arrived with
ceived orders from his father TO march at once
upon Conslnntnople. The London Sun remarks
upon this that if it be true, orders cannot too soon
be given TO the British fleet 10 pass the Darda-
nelles for the protection of the Turkish capital
The cholera has again made its appearance at
Bombay and at the date of the last accounts
thirty persons had died of il.
We find nothing of interest i'll the English Pa
pers respecting the North Eastern Boundary.
