l port on the 26th ult By her, we have London dates to the 25th, and Liverpool to the 26th The Great Britain was telegraphed early as l2 o'clock yesterday, and her arrival wrought 10 its highest pitch the excitement which had been for several days gathering She passed the Battery a little after 3 o'clock, firing gun, which was responded to by hearty cheers from the assembled thousands. Capt: HCsken is an old and general favorte here, and hm return to noble vessel Is heartily well comed by all. He had 45 passengers.
 The News, though not exciting, is favorable.- Cotton holds it's price with large Rales and there was general conviction that the lowest point had been reached, and henceforth the change would be in favor of the sellers, if any. Provisions, too, were firm, and there were some expectations of scarcity and an advance.
 Earl Grey, father of the Reform Act and for four years Prime Minister, died at his residence, Ho- 1 wick Hall, on the 17th, aged S1.
 Vscount Canterbury Qor seventeen years Speak, | CT of the House of Commons as MT. Manners Sut- l ton, died on the 2Oth, aged 66.
 l Conf0gration at Smrna.-The following de- 1 tails are taken from private letter, dated SMYRNA, July 9, 164J: I "Symrna s again in misery and ruins larger and more awful confagraton than the last com menced on the evening of the 3d inst, continued violently for twelve or fifteen hours, and upwards of two days in burning embers and side fires even up to yesterday, here and there magazines and store buildings were burning-some from being opened too soon, when the heated air burst into flame F. II began in the centre of the town, aided by furious north wind lwh..ccm afterwards chan ged) destroying every thing right and left and for circumference, calculate, of at least mile and half. The town half side of Frank street, is l consumed, and then right away to cur exit out of town to Boudja. The English hospital was saved by miracle, and thereby preserved that part of the town and the 90 called Rue de Rose. The Aus trian hospital is burnt Close to it, Borrel lives he was saved, although the fire was burning on ooidos ot menan quarter, except Purdie-street. is destroyed The fire skirted the Jews quarter-bnrning some 100 houses-and then spread to the grand Vizier Khan, and up to the Bazaars. Shoemaker lane is all burnt, and round about St. Georges, as in the former fire. The three corners, Atkinson's, Mall | tasss, &c. are saved. It came near to us, when Van Lennep's and three or four adjoining houses were burnt; but all these being built with terraces and long passages, the half only towards Frank Street, were consumed, and the fire was fortunately stopped. By pulling houses down in the little lane we pass through, going into the country. from Frank street, we stopped it on that side of s, al though if was very close The Dutch and Tuscan Constitutes were burnt; two or three large Khans -that is, the Grand Vizief, new made one, and Imaum Oglu Khan, were destroyed. The Greek hospital, close to the Austrian hospital, was saved by great exertion. It had 300 invalids in it, Fourteen or fifteen large wine-taverns and their depots, &c. are gone At one time, the fire so ragged, that had not change Of wind taken place, it was thought all Smyrna must have been Tn ru- ins. MT. Jackson says it is the worst fire he has ever seen, and larger even than that in 1797. He, as we'll as Brant, and all down our neighborhood, had their houses dismantled, and every thing put into magazines, but, thank God, the English have escaped. Very few, and those only in rented hou- ses, have been burnt out amongst whom are our friends Junor, Chernaud, the Vice Consul, and some others. Young Whittall made grandstand, and saved their house, and consequently the neigh borhood.
 "Great assistance was given by the Austrian corvette and French brig. in port. The English men-of-war were unluckily absent. Some 50 or 60 people may have lost their lives.
 " The Armenians are completely ruined. and how business with reference to old engagements, will get on, don't know, though not much mer- chandise has been lost-manufactures to G1O.OOO; valonia perhaps as much. The religious schims cause great delay and difficulty in forming com mittee of succor The Sisters of Charity are do- ing great deal of good. As yet our English sub scription comes up to E5oo' l am particularly Browning and my brokers. Most of the brokers of the other houses have lost-some their all, the savings of many years. The weather IS excess svely hot, and the supply of water very short at Boudja. We also suffer from want of it. fire in this country IS dreadful Many thousands compelled to live out in the open air in the gar dens fed by charity as they must be for some time; and the first day or after the fire, no bread was to be had.''

 Bost. COur. 1 4 Shocking Suicide at Hoboken, occurred yes- terday afternoon, about o'clock, the particulars | of which, we learn were as folows:- Peter Rose, surgical instrument maker, of Mo- APO Broad. way, took the boat at the foot of Canal street. and was seen atthe Otto Cottage, in Hoboken, during the afternoon, until about o'clock. when he walk ed up towards the Elysian Fields, and stopped at the foot of the hill where he was sitting on broken rock. Soon after. the report of pistol was heard and upon ascertaining the cause, the unfor. tunate men was found weltering in his blood, life. less the whole charge having entered his breast, near his heart, making most dreadful laceration, and exposing to view his intestines. It is suppo. sed the cause of his committing the act was owing 1 to disappointment in not procuring patent for some surgical instruments which he had recently invented. The body was brought over to the city and conveyed to his residence last evening.
