| The British steamship Britannia arri-
we'd at Boston on Saturday morning,
in ii days from Liverpool. BY her we
have received London papers to the
Sd, and Liverpool to the 4th inst.
The general aspect of trade remains
about the same. In the cotton market,
May Sd, there was no definite change,
but an improved demand.
The most important item of ihtelli-
gence is developed by the budget for
the ensuing financial year in Great
Britain. The anticipated total expen-
diture Of the current year is eiS, $685.
ITO. This sum deducted from 25l,-
100000, the receipts calculated on,
leaves 93,l46,s3o as the probable sur
plus of the current year.
The recall of Lord Peterborough
from his Governor Generalship, by the
East India company, excited good
deal OF dissatisfaction, and up to the
latest accounts, the real grounds for it
had not been made public. Govern
ment disavowed the act.
The sentence of O'Connell is still de-
ferred. The counsel for the travers-
ers, each speaking for his respective
client upon every motion, were
thought to have determined TO occupy
The whole term by speeches, so that
the sentence would be postponed to
the next term.
The new admiralty instructions pos
lively prohibit any officer serving on
board any ship or vessel Of her Males
lty, from either sending or accepting a
challenge.
II is expected that the Emperor OF
Russia will arrive in England, on a
visit to her Majesty, about the second
week of this month.
The dilemma in which the Great
Britain steamer is SO extraordinarily
placed is not yet overcome. 1t is sta
ted in the Herapath's Railway Jour
nal. that it is intended to lift her, by
very simple process, through the
dock gates. The great difficulty her
friends have TO contend with is her
screw. 1t is expected that she will
sail for New York on the 18th Of Ju-
! ~.
II appears that on the 25ih Of March
last, Baron Bulow on behalf of the
ZolIverein, and Mr.. Wheaton, the A
merican Resident at Berlin, signed a
treaty Of commerce. Should the trea-
ty be ratified by the contracting par
ties, it would prove disadvantageous to
the commerce Of Great Britain in the
United States.
IRELAND.-The Irish repeal agita-
ton and the government endeavor &c
effect lis suppression, are again occu
plying large share ofthe public atten
ton. The repeal association actively
continues its deliberations and collec
lions OF rent At the meeting on Mon
day, Mr.. O'Connell intimated his in
tention, as soon as the prosecutions
were over, to bring forwad his plan foI
the renewed agitation of repeal. The
leaders of the cause, he observed, wo'd
certainly, in his opinion, be sent TO Jail,
but government would nevertheless
fail in the object of these prosecutions,
if they failed in damping the repeal
agitation. He then exhorted the peo-
pie to peace and perseverance.
FnANcE.-In France, everything is
tranquil. The Duchess of Kent, mo-
Their Of Victoria, is now on visit to
the family Of Louis Phi!ippe-and is
warmly welcomed, and kindly and al
fectionately treated. is said that the
King has expressed determination TO
visit England in the course of the
summer.
Rumors in Paris wero current for
the first day or two of this month, that
Louis PhilIippe's health was declining,
although the reports were not OF ma
ture to excite immediate alarm.
The opposition journals state that
Ministers will be called upon for more
documents and information on the Ia
hiti affair, but nothing further can be
done in the matter until the 18th May,
by which time further arrivals are ex-
pecled. The departure of Admiral
HamoIin, 10 supersede Admiral Dupe-
tit Thouars, is delayed.
The report of the petitions praying
for the abolition of slavery in the
French colonies, is shortly to be pre-
senied in the Chamber Of Deputies,
and the Minister ofthe Marine has
