ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA.

nearly all the way
The great item Of interest is the arrest of O'Con
NELL the distinguished Irish agtator, and others, for
an attempt to stir up instruction and rebellion (See
preceding page for particulars) No disturbance fol-
lowed, although their intense interest liz Dublin.
The London correspondent of the Tribune thinks
this arrest is death blow to the cause of Repeal
We hope not.
arThe New-York American says the new Trea
sury Notes intended TO serve as currency, have
made their appearance in market. They in val
of $50, bearing nominal interest, transferable
from hand to hand, receivable for all public ues,and
Eedeemable at the end Of the year specie No bet
ter currency to security be devised; The the
oretica objection them is, that they are substan-
italy Government paper money, against which all
parties in these United States have heretofore set
their faces The amount is SO small that they can
do harm in this sense, but the precedent may be
tortured into evil results hereafter. On this head we
think it quite fair to assume that Congre IS will ex-
press themselves at the approaching session very de-
cidedly. Meanwhile this small issue of Treasury
notes, which will not be absorbed for invesmentwill
measuraby supply what is still the great need Of the
oountry-a national currency.
9TCharles Isaacs has been removed from the
Post Office at Norwalk, and one Charles Smith ap-
pointed in his place. Isaacs sung "Tycr too" in
l84O-hence his removal.
DcrJohn Cotton Smith jr. has been c,assed hereto
fore with the Calhoun portion Of the democracy
In his speech, however, before the Middletown Con-
Eention after the vote taken in favor Of Van Bu
ren, my lord of Orchard Hill declared that no man
had right to place him among the supporters of Mr.
Calhoun, that he was for Mr.. Van Buren,, and that
nine tenths Of the party in Litchfeld County in
favor Of Mr.. V. B. This last assertion is far from
being true far our information extends. In the
town Of Litchfeld the Calhoun strength is nearly if
not quite as great that Of Van Buren,. AT the caa-
Gus here for the appointment Of delegates to the
State Convention the Vantcs had but two maj ority
over the Nu!lufier. Among those who are not in the
habit Of attending caucuses the proportion is still
Ia ger for Calhoun. There is general belief among
the people that Presidential term oil four years
and One Hundred Thousand Dollars are sufficient
for man OF So lltlc true sta. nanship as Martin
Van Buren,.
6rCol. Johnson, after writing Albany and spend
ing day at Undertook with Mr.. Van Buren,, has
returned honcword by way of New-York. The
Colonel is clever and brave old gentleman, but has
