Arrival OF tho Great Western-The News.
Yesterday morning, at three o'clock, the Great
Western steamer arrived at her moorings in the
East River, having made one of the shortest pas
sases, from Europe TO America, on record. At four
o'clock the intelligence was exclusively published
in the Herald, being ttoo three hours in aduance o,
euryjo~r,sai an the city, We also sent the news by
the early mails to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash
ington, and other cities south and west.
This passage of the Western is remarkable. She
left Princes dock at Liverpool at IL O'Clock Am
on Saturday the 18th April, and passed Sandy Hook
at II o'clock P. M on the llth OF May, thus making
the passage in l2a days exactly. The weather was
beautiful all the watery way-average speed, lOA
nautical miles per hour. Since her overhauling.
she looks almost as good as new, and Capt. Hosken
is as bright as ever. Success to bin.
The most important items of the news will be
found our first page, including what we publish
ed yesterday IN our second edition, published at
o'clock, and also that in the EXTRA HERALD, at 6
O'Clock. Perhaps the New York press never sus-
tanned such defeat as we gave them yesterday.
The most interesting intelligence is the birth of
fresh princess, and the death of an old prince, thus
keeping up the existing forces of the royal line.
Several debates have taken place in Parliament,
throwing further light on the projects of England
relative to new commercial treaties. Nothing else
in particular. The flight of the aerial machine is
supposed TO be hoax.
We have received variety of literary, theatrical
and other intelligence, which we shall give at
length tomorrow.
ARREST OF THE SHERIFF OF THIS CITY.-Sheriff
Hart, of this city, was yesterday taken into custody
by the Coroner, on numerous writs issued against
him by persons having executions in his hands,
amounting to many thousands of dollars, for
which his securities are responsible 1t is presumed
that the duties of the office will be performed du-
ring the remainder of the term, which terminates
this fall, by Mr.. Deputy Westervet, as no person
who could be selected by the Governor at this late
PERIOD would be DESTROYS of the office, and enter
the securities required for the performance of the
duties.

four or FIVE of the former were killed.
The u. S. frigate Constellation, CON- Kearney,

STEAMSHIP PREsIDENr.-While at Thatcher's
Island, (Cape Ann,) Captain Sturgis, Of the revenue
cutter Hamilton, was informed by the keeper OF the
light house, that during the eastery gale last
October, board, evidently part OF a vessel, was
drifted ashore, with the words " Steamship Pres-
denr' cut upon it. The board was afterwards de-
stroyed or lost but from the description given, it
seems not unlikely that this was part OF that i'll
fated ship.
NAVAL LAuNcH.-The u. S. brig Perry" was
launched at the Navy Yard Norfolk, the 10th inst,
in presence of the Hon. Secretary Of the Navy, and
large number Of ladies, citizens and officers. She
is perfect model Of beauty, and from her razor
like bow and beam run, appears to have been built
for speed, as well as strength. A salute from
"Old Ironsides' welcomed her to her appropriate
element.

Boston we have news to the 10Th of April The 60
venment remained the same, but troops from ST.
