The FOREIGN NRws-We give in this days Her.
aid very full account OF foreign intelligence,
brought by the Great Western so full that in the
present crowded state of our columns, we may pro.
perly dispense with heightened comment We may,
however, observe, that disposed to look upon
the accounts which have reached us from Ireland
as of pacific character The excitement which
prevails will disorder commerce and the peaceful
arts, but not apprehensve OF any hostile col
sion of the people and the soldiery.
We have various private communications before
us, to which we may allude hereafter, but we shall
now content ourselves with the general summary,
which may be found in the following letter from
one of our correspondence
LONDON, June 16, ls43.
There is little news to offer since the departure of
the last steamer The weather here has bee quite
wet and cold, and small apprehensions began to be
entertained tor the coming crop-but yesterday and
to-day he funds rose under It's beneficial influence
The cotton market is quiet, and the sales at Liver
pool have been quite moderate for the last few days
Frees are without change. The business in the
news from America has revived the hope of again
receiving larger orders from our side OF the water
The races at Ascot yesterday were NOT as largely
attended as often the case, in consequence OF the
absence OF the Queen, but, Notwithstanding, the
show of equpages and the presence of large num-
Der OF the nobility and gentry, gave life and ANNA
ton to the scene. This day very fine Ghe first
Tine day In weeks and the course in good order.
The sweepstakes was won by Col. PEEPS Murat,
with ease, beating sElysium and Highlander. Her
majesty's plate OF 100 guineas was taken by Lord
Lowther's colt three years old, out of Silvertail,
and the Mickleham Hall stakes by Lord Chester
fields New Brighton. Several other races came
of, the details of which will be found in the papers.
AT a meeting on Wednesday of the propretors of
the Bank OF British North America the of the
colonies, in their business relations was stated to
be greatly depressed. Large failures were reported
In Montreal, Quebec and New Brunswick, and the
proprietors were compelled to pass their usual divi
dend by reason of the losses sustained in the latter
cities.
A diverting little episode occurred in the pro-
ceedings of the Anti.Slavery Convention yester-
day.
A Mr. Fuller, from one of the northern States in
Of Brother Phelps a and brother Lewis
Iappan, and stated that large part of the Ameri-
can Abolltlonlsts were "little better than sheer
humbugs"
This awkward customer, whom the Times de.
scrlbes as "a rich specimen OF the genuine YAM
kee," asserted that the northern Abotionsts did
not trust the negroes we'll, or like equally, but kept
them al distance, as IT their persons ought not to
come between "the wind and their nobility" at
which the colored gemmen present turned up the
whites OF their eyes in horror.
The Repeal agitation still continues to flourish in
Ireland, where O'Connel reigns in full power and
influence The Government here have changed
their tactics, and will not, it is said, resort to
force
This is judicious policy, and if the immense
masses OF Repeaers who congregate do not meet
with opposition, and thereby create collision with
the anti-Repealers or Government officers, the is
sue may be yet peaceful; but cannot how it is
possible to prevent some violent outbreak, which
will shake the Green Isle to its centre, and give
great trouble TO Great Britain.
The Puseylte war wages hot In the ranks OF the
established church, and the new version of Ortho-
doxy seems 10 gain ground rapidly.
There Is little stirring here in the Literary way.
In theatricals the closing of Drury Lane, and the
speech OF Macready are the features OF he week
Although the house has been well patronzed yet
Macready reviews with great severity the absurd
patent law by which the monopoly OF enacting the
standard plays is confined 10 Covent Garden ard
Drury Lane. This works great injustice TO both
actors and managers attended Drury Lane on
Monday evening, on which occasion Her Majesty
was present. The little Queen looked marvellous
y well in health, and Prince Albert was as hand
some ever.
He is great favorte with all classes, being
young, handsome and good tempered, and having
sense enough not TO NEEDLE with politics.
The Anli-Con Law League are aboring with
great zeal and effect, and / am much mistaken If
Sir Robert Peel will not, before long find it indis-
pensable to the maintenance OF his power TO defer
the growing feeling against monopoly in corn. The
speech OF Mr. Webster is we'll received here N most
circles, and the predictions Of your friend Green
that the great interests OF the British people would
induce modification Of the high tariff on British
agricultural prodscts,by agreeing 10 the adoption Of
Conme rcisl Treaty, with America appear 10 be des.
tined 10 be realized, il the signs 81 the times do MOI
deceive ne / see The stock market IL quite buoy.
