The arrival ef the Great Western" has not, as
win be seen on looking sover the full and faithful
collection Of extracts from British journals put us
in possession of any very wonderful occurrences,
except the birth OF the Duke of York, which, after
all the din made about it, is not, perhaps, very
strange-consdering the previous performances of
her Majesty. Yet the intelligence furnished by
the files OF papers thirteen days later in date con-
tam some very interesting movements 1t will be
seen that Parliament stands adjourned till the 9th
INST, at wkch period it will re-assembe to dis:
charge lis duties In relation TO the of the
State Prisoners As TO what will be result, moth
ing is known further; but some OF the best in
formed and most temperate of the public journals
say that Mr.. O'Connell is not at all sanguine as to
its being favorable to him or his associates. The ut
most anxiety smanifested, however, by his friends,
some OF whom have, both in and out of parliament,
been engaged contrary 10 his wishes, in trying to
concilate the government by gentle persuasion, if
not by qualified overtures, TO relax the sentence
which the "Conspirators' are now undergoing.
The usual exchange of shots took place on the
rising OF the house, between ministers and the
opposition. On the part OF The latter, however, It
was conducted by Lord John Russell with un-
which Sir X. Peel replied in a corresponding man
ner-at the same time declaring his former resolu-
ton to abstain from all discussion well inter-
ference in the legal discussions the State trials,
and offering pretty strong pledge of being no less
decisive in regard to the foreign relations of the
country, which, in the language of the leader of
the whg party, afford cause for great anxiety. The
opinion we have already formed OF the probability
of of X.
government in the liberal direction. seems, from
everything teat has occurred, 10 be confirmed;
and the great likelihood is, that long as the mi
nstry are sustained by the voice OF the country, he
will continue to concede to the loud demands OF
ihe millions, as far as is consistent with justice to
ll,jdignty to INSTRUMENTATION, and safety to the
country.
The revenue returns tor the quarter ending with
July, are considered very favorable, and evidence
of greatly increased prosperity, although something
less than presented by the April balance sheet.
The crops are said to be highly promising, and
upon general summary, it Is apparent that, be-
tween the illustrous addition to his family, and the
fair state of his domestic affairs, John Bull is in
heartily good humor with himself, and with few
exceptions, all mankind.
FOREIGN News AND ExpREssEs- thirty mi

flooded with extra Heralds. Our office was besieged
with merchants and others, and we issued, between
the hours of and 10 that evening, over ten thou
sand copies at two cents each
1t is to the enterprise of this establishment and
of Livingston, Wells, and Pomeroy, that the whole
north are indebted for the early receipt Of this
news. Files of English papers, which reached us
in the Great Western, were on their way ITO Albany
before the Western touched her own dock! Our
never-sleeping news collector boarded the steamer
offSaten Island and landed at the Battery thus giv-
ing Livingston " Co. time to reach the Rochester,
then Just starting for Albany, and enabling them to
beat the government mails an entire day. Inproof
OF this, read the annexed letter:

DR.. LARpyER's SABBATH LEcTrRE.-The only
thing that interiered with the almost unmxed grali
hcaton which the delivery OF this discourse afforded
10 the hearers was, that the edice was not spacious
enough TO accommodate all who would have at
tended Those, however, who were fortunate
enough TO procure seat, seemed, from their in
tense attention, and the evidences of universal
satisfaction apparent on every hand, TO relish with
fitting deligh-and the lofty aspirations it is well
fit to inspire that able vndlcation of revealed
liglon, and the consistency of science with revea-
ton. The beautiful and triumphant applicant Of in
ductve reasoning-the great Baconan method of
investigation-gven last evening in Palmo's, In
conutaton of skeptcal scofiings, and the cavilings
OF materialiss, left little for doubt in well con-
stituted minds, that science furnish evidence to
satisfy any well constituted mind of the existence Of
a superior and superlntendlng power and that is
the book of nature. Characters at once legble and
authentic, TEEN from its instructive pages of order,
design, and benevolence, pervadng all creation.
BY an examination of the laws of nature, he over
threw the infidel theory that chance, the inhe-
rent and eternal qualities of matter could produce
the phenomena of the physical world; he showed
that, even by the use of their own weapons they
could be foiled, and that, however, the book Of
revelation was to be regarded as a cause Of graft
tude to the great eternal first cause--he has fur
nished to all who will read and mark, the concur
rent proofs, which the finger of His omnpotence
and wisdom has traced on all the objects, relations,
and ends of the physical world.
The illustrations were very beautiful and appro-
pirate. His splendid representations Of the earth
and solar system, were many seasonable, appo-
site and emphatlc renresentations of the nrinci-
