FOREIGN.-The Britannia arrived
at Boston on the 18th, fourteen days
from Liverpool. In looking over the
New York Sun Extra, which broug h,
us the news, we cannot discover any
thing Of General importance. The
ACCOMPLISHMENT Of the Queen IS expected
to take place about the first of July
There is great distress among the man
ufaciuring classes, as usual. The
number of Germans coming to this
country the present season will exceed
those of any preceding year. The
Britannia brought news from England
up to the 4,h Of this month, and it ar
rived here, in the far west, on the
28th of the same.

Backing Out.--The Globe at first
went for annexation, but since Van

goes against it too. Such shutting in

PETIT, of Indiana, who has taken oc-
casion in every speech he has delivered,
during the present Congress, to speak
against the christian religion, when the
question to establish an insane asylum
in the District of Columbia recently
came up advocated the bill, and intimat-
ed that while he would not vote dol
lar to the maintenance of Chaplains in
the army or navy, he would vote thou
sands for the purpose Of providing for
those laboring under the frightful mala-
dy of insanity. We presume he is
looking out for and providing himself a
home. 1t seems that loco focoism is
becoming as fatal to the intellect as Mil
lerism.
