THE POETRY OF FLowEKs-MAGNIFIcRNT BoQURT.
We received yesterday from Grant Thorburn Il
Co.'S. Conservatory, at Niblo's, by far the most
beautiful boquet that we have seen this season.
II was composed Of the rarest and most fra
grant flowers and the elegant and artstical style
in which they were arranged was beyond all praise.
We learn, however. that the artist-Mr. John
Robinson-has been long celebrated in this city,
for his superior taste and skill in this department
There never has been solitary instance in which
the ladies have found fault with his boqmets, and
recent occasion, in which he supplied the bognets
and floral wreaths for bridal party, the fair mem.
bers of the family presented Mr.. Robinson with
handsome souvenir in token of their admiration o,
his talent in this department of,he fine art for such
il may indeed be designated. Now the beau monde
will know where to get boqsts for the bellies Of the
balls and parties, and the charming prima donme al
the opera.

CHEvALIER WKorF's TRIAL POSTPONED. The
case Of Chevalier Wikof and one Of his coadju.
tors, was called up yesterday in the Court Of Ses-
sions, but postponed on account Of want of evl.
dence. A proposition was made on his part to
send for some witnesses to Washington, and an in
timaton also made Of design to send over to Ire
land for some others. This is merely to create de.
lay. We suppose the next motion will be to send
China and all over the world for witnesses. In
deed Fanny Essler herself may be sent for to tes,
fy in this important case. But as Taglioni, the
great danse1se, is expected by the next steamer,
they may, perhaps, if she won't do in this case.
This delay indeed, will only give additional in
terest to the trial, and have no doubt that all
the beautiful dancers in Europe, and all the great
politicians, Lady Blessington and Count D'Orsay,
and variety Of other characters, are all standing
on tiptoe, anxiously awaiting the next intelligence
from America, bringing an account of ChevaleI

The Englisl, News.

Our columns to-day contain full resume Of the
news from Europe, brought by the last steamer at
Boston. At first sight it might be supposed that
the intelligence was not of much importance, but a
close examination of particular points,g give
different character to the events recorded.
There are not, it is true, any political occur
rences of magnitude--no royal journeyings of i'm
portance, but there is one little speck, no bigger
than mans haad, beginning TO manifest itself in
the horizon at Manchester the centre of the manu-
featuring districts Of Great Britain which indicates
an hereafter in the history of the relations between
England and the United States, that will
usher in one of the most brilliant eras in
the annals of the world. We allude 10 an
important meeting held in Manchester, in
relation to the cotton trade and cotton i'm
ports into England on which occasion, in the
face of the whole world, and in the very heart OF
British manufactures, the palm was awarded TO
the United States in the manufacture OF certain
description of cotton goods, and in competing with
England in the markets of the world. 1t is very
evident from this movement, and others, that the
success of the American government in negota-
ting new treaty with the Chinese empire, has
struck with astonishment the whole English mind,
political, commercial, and manufacturing. This
event commences new era in the history of both
countries; and coupling it with the question Of
Texas in this country, and the movements Of
republican government on this subject, it will force
on the minds Of all the conviction, that we are
the eve of most important era in our foreign re
lations the result OF which no one can yet see.
So much on that point. With respect to Irish
affairs, OConDell. It appears. after vibrating and
balancing like mountebank between "federa-
ism" and " "repealism, has at last settled down
again into the latter. He has attempted new agi-
taton, which by no means promises to be as profit
able and successful as his previous efforts Agita-
on in Ireland may continue for few years Ion
ger, but it will diminish gradually, until that period
arrives when the relations of the United States and
England will assume such character, and the in
fuence Of the progress of Republican government
in this country shall have created such spirit
amongst the great body OF the European people,
institutions Of Great Britain will be no longer
postponed. Then all these isolated and ridiculous
sectional movements now conducted only with
base and personal motives, will be merged in the
great struggle Of the whole people for free govern
ment. o'Connell il now cloung his career, and is
rapidly reaching the level Of narrow minded agi-
tator, with the narrowest conceptions of human
liberty and human rights.
The rest of the news, literary, theatrical, fash
ionable and otherwise, will be found under the
proper heads. fuller, and arranged with more care
and judgment than in any other journal Of the day.
