 Aryiral Of the Sisamship Acodia-TCenty days LGter.
 The anxiously expected steamer Acadia was telegraphed at little past l2 o'clock, and arrived at her mooriDgs about half past two. She brings out London papers to the morning, and Liverpool to the afternoon of the Ain. The Acadia broke from her fast when she arrived at the wharf, which caused a great delay in the reception of packages. papers, &c.
 The Acadia had very rough time, and was l6 days in making~her passage. She- brought out 96 passengers-7O to Halifax and % to Boston.
 The papers contain nothing later from I China.
 AN HEIR TO THE THRONE. l AccOuchement of the Queen.-The Queen of England, Victoria l, was safi.ly delivered of female heir to the throne at Buckingham Palace, on the 2lst of November.
 Prince Albert, the Duchess of Kent, and several Lords of the Privy Council, and sev- eral Ladies of her MajeSty's Bedchamber were present. The news was immediately made known to the town by the firing of the Tower Guns and the excitement throughout the city to learn the sex of the young heir, and the state of the Queens health was of the most intense description. 1 Up to the last accounts, Her Maiesty0nd 1 the young Princess were doing exeellently we'll" A woman named Ratsey, of the Isle of Wight, has the honor of being the royal nurse.
 Bulletins of Her Majesty's health were issued from day to day, until she was con- sidered entirely out of danger.
 Interesting from Syria and Egypt.-The- news from Syria and Egypt is of an interest. ing character. The fortress of St. Jean d'Acre, the principal ot Mehemet Ali in Syr- ia. had been taken by storm. His troops: had been ordered to withdraw into Egypt. and finally it appears from the following sources, that the Pacha had agreed to accept the hereditary government of Egypt, without the other conditions On which he had preyi. ously insisted.
 The Journal des Debats announces that Mehemct Ali has communicated his resolu-- tion to accept purely aud simply the Pacllu- lie of Egypt, and to restore the Turkish feet The submission of the Pacha is official the Ministers have affirmed tt, it is said, to seve-. ral Deputies in the Salle des Conference.- The yielding of Mchelnet Ali might have been foreseen, when it was seen that he had issued orders to Ibrahim to concentrate his forces in Egypt. The capture of St. Jean d'Acre left him without defence, and the: discouragcment of his troops no longer per- mitted him to resist. The Allies have thus regulated the East as England wished; the voice only of France has not been heard, nor her flag displayed. Peace is insured for some months. Russia still governs in Con- stantinople; the flag of England floats on all the fortified points of Syria the Pacha of Lord Palmerston. These arc the first conSe- ulenCeS Of the trp0tV of Julv 16
 Capture of M. Jean EAcre.-The attack upon Acre was made on the Sd of November, by the Admiral and six other British line of battle ships, five or six frigates, four steam- CTS, and the Turkish Admiral. The shipS- went in two divisions, and anchored in line opposite tO the troli;; sattery, each ship open. ing it's fire as it took up its position. The fire was returned briskiy from the batteries. one line of which mounted 30 M and 32 pounders, besides 20 or 30 smaller guns.-- The action commenced at 2 o'clock, and for two hours there was continued roar of guns, aNd the smoke Iarkenc! snA atnos- phere. At 4 o'cl0t'n there was n most tcrr1f:: ic eXploSioh on shore. A magazine contain ing 5OO barrels of powder blew up, over which were stationed 2OOO soldiers, the whole of whom were buried in the ruins. which covered the space of an acre. Many women and children also perished in the ex- piOSs'"'. nt OuuSs.t tIo uIbuS CCNoSsIS utSU the ships hauled off into deep water for ther night. At 12 o'clock boat came of tO say that the troops were evacuating the towl', and a force was sent on shore and took pOs- session without opposition. The ruins of the magazine presented the most appalling sight, and in other parts were many dead bodies, and guns dismountcd by the shot from the ships. The town was filled with stores and ammunition. The principal magazine. which was untouched, contained 5000 barrels of powder, and a large quantity of shot and shells. The injury to the ships was small.
