Tha, modern Leviaihan Of the deep, the steam
er Great Britain, has arrived, bringing eight days
later news from Europe. She run a very mar
row risk of being lost. After she had been ou
Ia days, land was discovered close ahead, and, IL
ascertain their whereabouts. the captain sent a
boa, ashore. and brought u fisherman aboard, who
informed them that they were ut Nantucket, and
tha, they had, in the previous night run over the
Nantucket shoals, aud he pointed out the break
ers to them that were rolling AMI dashing with
wild fury. How this monster ship could have
wrecked, is miracle; but, fortunately, she cs-
capped, and, after getting supply of coal, came
on TO New York.
The most important news she brings is CON
corning the partial failure Of the oropsin Europe.
1t is estimated that the wheat crop in Great Bn-
:an will be eight million of bushels short, There
has been almost total failure Of the potato crop
IN Holland and B,gum. Both OF these govern

The news Of the election in Philadelphia is

Gus, worthless, vlllanoUs faction has received It's
deserts, Let their fate be warning to all polti-
cal knaycs and intriguing villains. The demo-

try is nov nearly equal to tina, OF England 1t
is impossible to imagine animals more beautiful,
or perfect in their proportions, than those now
exhibiting at this fair. Some very good horses
are also exhibited. There were also some good
specimens OF merino, South Downs, and Cots
wod among the sheep.
The arguments have been heard before the
Chancellor for dsnissing the injunction restrain

Mr.. Tempeton, the vocalist, made his frs,
bow to an American audience last evening, and
created great sensation. The applause was
most terrific, and the New Workers seemed wild
with delight.
Ole Bull, the prince of catgut scrapers, has
composed new piece which is designed
tribute to America. he fins, represents the muir
muring that preceded the revolution; then the
din of battle then the reJoicings after victory
and then the lament Of the nation at the loss of
Washington, &c. &c. He has hi, upon the right
cord to awaken the sympathies and arouse the
enthusiasm Of the Americans. | heard his Ma.
CARA a night or two since, and it exceeds all the
powers Of description. The laundering, eternal
roar, the ripping of the waters, the rising Of the
mist, the rustling Of leaves, and chipping of birds,
were all initiated in q most extraordinary man
ner. At one instant this Norwegian genius will
initiate thunder, and then the sound will die away
until the listener hears as if in the distance
sound 50 light, 90 soft and sweet, that he may
fancy that he is listening TO a chorus Of angels.
No one who has aught Of music 10 his soul can
listen to the magic sounds Of this charmer, with .
out forgetting tia, he lives or breathcs. All cx-
iernal sensations and thoughts are shut out, and
the listener is borne along by the melody of
sounds until he weeps, or laughs, or ,rembles
with fear, without being conscious Of either. His .
soul or sympathies are surrendered up, to be tun-
cd and played upon as if they were the mere
string of the violin, producing variable sounds at
the will of the performer.

Tie IIibernia has arrived bringing
news which confirms that brought by |
the Grea Britain, concerning the crops.
There seems TO be no longer any doubt
but tina, the crop will fall much short Of
a usual average. and consequently large
shipments mus, be made from this coun-
try. This | predicted in one of my first
letters, and recommended our farmers to
