| New York PACKET SHIPS, &c.-The long preva-

until the arrival of the Hlbernia steamer the 31s
which excellent vessel, from having met with large
quantities OF ice floating in the Atlantic, was her
self rather longer on her voyage than usual. She
was most anxiously expected, and we have seldom
witnessed more entire satisfaction than was ex-
pressed at the pacific nature of the she brought
Arriving, she did, Saturday afternoon, the pa
pers by her Were conveyed to the North and South
American Coffee house, and Loyd's, London, by the
express train, on Saturday night; but her news
not generally known there until Monday morning,
when, as will be seen In our reports OF the Money
and Commercial Markets, its influence was very
considerable. On Sunday the wind became more
favorable, and has SO continued since so that we
have had in succession the st Patrick the Columbus

doat, al OF which, OF course had been anticipated
TRIAL or THE MONSTER GUN.-A trial of the
monster gun, which has been manufactured in Liver
pool, for the American steam frgate Princeton, OF
which we have given details in a former num-
Der, was made on Saturday week, on the sands,
North Shore, between Crosby and Formby. The
firing commenced about eleven in the morning and
continued with some slight intemission until three
IN the afternoon. During that time upwards Of
three tons OF shot were discharged-each shot
weighed upwards of two hundred weight. The
report was distinctly heard in the neghborhood Of
the docks, and in the north end of the town, al
though the scene Of the firing was some eight or
nine miles distant The experiments proved highly
satisfactory The appearance OF the shot after each
discharge, Swimming along the WATER had a novel
and pleasing effect. The range extended some
miles. The day was mild and fineand notwithsand-
ing the fact Of the gun having been carried out as
early as three in the morning to the scene of the ex
perments, TO avoid notoriey, great numbers were
attracted to the spot when the firing commenced
BRITISH Corn TRADE.-Though rise has since
our last taken place in the temperature, still the
weather has been cold for the advanced period OF
the year; unfavorable rumors respecting the pre-
sent appearance of the Wheat plant and predictions
of late and precarous harvest, have consequently
rather increased than diminished. That some UNI
easness should have been accustomed by the very
backward spring is perfectly natural but we are in
cned to think that the mischief thereby occasoned
opinion previously expressed namely, that though
plentiful crop the last scarcely be reckon
ed on, fine warm summer might yet repair the
greater part of the injury actually done.
