FROM EUROPE.
Al or THE GREAT WESTERN.

 The Great Western made her passage in the unprecedented short time of l2 days, having sailed on the 20th ult.
 The large amount of specie which has been exported from England 10 the United States began to command some attention. The Continental Exchanges were, however, so much in favor of England as to more than fill up the gap caused by the export to Amer ica.
 It is impossible to state with accuracy what amount of Specie the, Great Western has brought out, as the manifest only contains the number of packages and the names of the consignees. Up to one o'clock the different merchants had entered and obtained permits for the lending of E2l6,905 in sovereigns or the balance to be entered would not amount to over one or two hundred thousand dollars. Report however says she has $l,500,0OO on board.
 Private letters from England state that Money was never so abundant in England. This news is calculated to buoy up the spec ulative spirit that has presided for the last month in Wall street. Our operations in stocks look on England, as the ruling market for funds. A disposition there to send at low rate of interest, and to invest in any For eign securities, is sure to have it's effect here.
 The Duke of Sussex died on the 2lst of April, 70 years old.
 The discussion of the right of visit, or the right of search, has heenrevived with vigor upon the arrival of Mir. Webster's despatch to Mir. Everett.
 THE BIRTH OF A PRINCESS.
 A royal accouchmenti is so great an affair in England, that we have thought our read CTS would like to read few ext ractS con. cerning it.
 HER MAJEsrY.-The Archbishop of Can- terbury, the Bishop of London, Sir R. Peel, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Jersey, Earl Deleware, Lord Wharncliffe, and the other great officers of state, have not been able to leave town for the recess, owing to the dai- lY expectation of the Queens accouchment. Every preparation has long been made at the Home-office for the immediate trans mission of the intelligence of that event to the different authorities, both in the metrop- oils and in the provinces and at the for eign office similar preparations are comple- ted for the forwarding of dispatches to the diplomatic representatives of her Majesty at the various European Courts.

 HER MAJEsrY.-We had the satisfaction of announcing to our readers yesterday the accouchment of her Majesty, and that the Queen and infant Princess were doing we'll. This event, though every one has been anx- iously expecting it i'd the last month, at last took place so suddenly that-coupled with reluctance unnecessarily to alarm the great officers of state and the ministers-most of the official persons whose duty it was to have been present, did not arrive in time.
 The first circumstances after the arrival nf tho C0trpf fPor, Ala ont fhn 0Od If March, which gave an intimation of the near approach of the event, was the sum- mons to Mrs. Lilly, the nurse, who commen- ced her attendance on her Majesty, who was so unwell during the evening, that Queen Adelaide delayed her departure for Bushy the following morning, until by iE- quiry she ascertained that the indisposition had passed off. On the following Sunday the 9th, her Majesty took the sacrament in her own apartments but although the new chapel in Buckingham Palace had been Queen did not feel well enough to attend divine service. t|
 These circumstances made all the official persons whose duties would be at all effec- ted by her Majesty's accouchment antici- pate that it would take place from day to day. Indeed, most of the Ministers were so confident that the event would immed- ately take place, that they made all their arrangements for spending the Easter holy days in the country. Large parties were invited to Dayton, and also to the seat of the Duke Buccleuch, and so certain was the Lord President. that he had fixed the day of his departure for the 18th. None of these anticipations were, however, realized, for though Her Majesty was again iudisposed on Friday, 14th, at dinner, in such a manner as to induce belief that the time was at hand. yet it passed away. and the Ministers were condemned to remain in town during the accustomed period of relaxation.
 From the l4th up to Monday the Queen was better in health perhaps than the pre- vious fortnight, with the exception of one evening last week, the alarm that arose from the announcement, by some of our cotem- poraries of Dr. Locock's being in attendance ut the Palace. night and day, being quite a mistake, and having no other foundation than the fact of a room in the palace having been prepared for the doctors reception in case circumstances should render his close attendance necessary. Such, however, was not the case, for though Dr. Lockock slept several nights at the palace previous to the birth of the Prince of Wales, he did not do so on the present occa sion. ..,,-ss
 Her Majesty was taken unwell about half past o'clock. Dr. Locock, Dr. Ferguson, and Sir James Clark. was immediately sent for, and after their arrival messengers were despatched to the Duchess of Kent, Sir Rob- ert Peel. the great officers of state. the home Secretary, the Lord Chancellor, and other great flnctionaries. Owing however to the
