gales nearly the whole VOYAGE.
The Columbia came no the hnrbor with thu

and the band puying g Hail Columbia" Boil
hags at the Cunard wharf were at half mast.
She brings news from London and Liverpool tc
the evening of the Sd inst. There is no news o.
importance
The Columbia in hauling into the Cunard wharf
was forced by the wind and tide against the pier
thereby breaking her Iarbourd wheel house.
The Royal Mail Steamer Britannia, Capt. Gle
land, arrived a, Liverpool on March 3lst, in four
teen days and eighteen hours from Boston. She
experienced heavy gales throughout the whole pas
sage
'lhe President, steamship from n. York, had not
arrived at Liverpno! on the 3D. having then been
out tweny -four DAYS Great excitement was The
consequence. II was supposed in England that she
had either encountered an iceberg, or that she had
gone into the Western Islands for Goals.
The Great Western steamer was advertised TO
leive England the I'd, for \. York, but could get
no passengers; she then put up for Halifax on the
Sd, bu, met with 10 better success. Just before
the Columbia left, she was advertised to leave on

BRITANNIA was to leave Liverpool for Boston ON the
10th.
There was much less excitement in Great Britain

the United States.
The Times of the "a inst, says, "Goyernmcnt

steamer which brought our letters and papers, and
these deSp ckes leave no doubt Of an aniacablc
and immediac settlement between the L. States
and Great Dnlan'us far rs regards the question Of
Mcleod.
The Morning Chronicle Of the same dare says,
" the news fom the L, States, by the Britannia
steamer, nny be looked upon ia two fold character
political md commcrcnl. In reglrd to The first,
the contents arc considered f,vcmbly, and the best
evidence Of this il, that the funds have risen in con-
sequence - per cent
The Warning Herald ofthe sane date says: " a
marked improvement in the funds may be noticed
TODAY mainly attributable to the favorable sense
in which the absence of adverse political intelli-
uence from L. States, rather than the receipt orany
thing positively satisfactory, has been viewed in the
city,"
An extraordinary excitement appears 10 have
prevailed previous to the arrival of the Briaoni0,
but it will be seen BY these extracts from tho lead

A notice was No at Iloyd's for transports TO con-
