ing intelligence contained in our flies.
No intelligence of the President had been
received in Liverpool:on the 4th.
The Acadia arrived at Liverpool on the I'd
inst. in ID days and twenty hours. She was
detained hours in crossing the bar, going in
10 Liverpool. The passengers published a
card of thanks 10 Lieut.. Lott who went out in
charge of the Acadia, owing 10 the sickness of
Capt. Miller.
A large meeting of American residents was

ENGLAND.
The Ministry had sustained an overwhelm.
ing defeat on the 9th of April, on the Irish vo.
tiers bill-the vote being 291 to 270.
On the Both, Lord John Russell gave notice
that he should, on the first order day after the
Whitsuntide holidays, move that the house re-
solve itself into committee to take into con-
sideralion the presen: system of cornaws.-
He also stated that his intention was to propose
certain fixed duty on foreign corn, in place of
the present graduated scale.
IRELAND.
Serious disturbances had broken out in va.
rious parts OF Ireland, and the courts were bu.
silly engaged in the trials of the offenders.
The Tipperary papers contain accounts of
outrages at Borrisokane, Kilruane, Bourna,
Breka, Crimlin, Arderony, Liscahll, and other
districts of the county; such as threatening
notices, intimidation, destroying property, as.
saults, and incendiurism; but in that quarter
nothing more serious had occurred. A troop
ofihe 9th carbineers arrived at Ncnagh to day
to relieve the troops of the 18th lancers, which
had been for some time quartercd there.
The provincial papers contain accounts of
one or two professions Of ieetotallers in Tippe.
larry, Kilkenny, and Waterford, and il appears
that the Temperance reform in ireland, is still
progressing.
CHINA.
There is no later news from China. In par.
Lament Lord EIlenbororgh had presented q
petition from the merchants and traders of
Bombay, complaining of the interruption of
the Chinese trade. and OF nothing satisfactory
having been done to restore it.. Upon this
Lord Ashburton asked if government had any
information on Capt. Elliott's convention
Viscount MelDoure Raid they had not; the de.
lay might be accounted for by the dispatches
being sen: by sea and not overland. In reply
TO deputation of merchants, who complained
of the recent arrangement, Lord Palmerston
said, that as yet he was acquainted with only
the principles agreed to between the Plenipo'
tentaries, namely, that the Emperor was 10
cede 10 the British Crown a territorial posses
sion in China; that an indemnity was to be
paid TO the British Government; and that the
official intercourse between the two countries
was, in future, to be conducted on terms of per.
feet equality. AS yet he knew nothing be
yond The admission of these important princi
pies; and as it was expressly stated that the
details were TO be the subject of negotiation. il
necessarily followed, that it was impossible fol
his lord>hip 10 come TO any conclusive opinion
as to the acts of the British Plcnipotentiary un
til in full possession of the details of the further
negotiations so alluded 10.
