LATER FROM EUROPE...ARRuVAL OF THE
BRlTTANIA.


BY the arrival of tho steam ship Britannia at
Boston, we have advices from England to the Sd
Instant.
The nows is not Of much importance. Cotton
has advanced in price, and slight reaction had
taken place in tho iron trade.
The Oregon, Texas, and Maynooth questions,
are still sore subjects with the British press.
On the 22d of April, the Queen visited tho
mammoth steamer Great Britain, and was re-
ceved with great manifestations Of honor and
respect. Tho Great Britain is advertised to sail
for Now York on 4,h July next, undo. the COM
mand Of Lieutenant Hosken, r. ~. tho we'll
known and popular commander Of the ''Great
Western"
Wilmer and Smiths Times has tho following
remarks:
PARLlAMENrARY.-The last fortnight has boon
almost exclusively occupied with the question OF
Maynoolh-the great question Of the day. The
public mind is still fcrrnentng and will continue
to do SO long after tho statute book has recorded
the enactment of the measure. All doubt about
its parliamentary success was set at rest by tho
unexpectedly largo majority which passed tho
second readng-I47; and although its Jealous OPP
pononts havo since shown fight in the House OF
Commons BY another debate. and another division
a bnttle moro marked by parade than earnestness
and tho foreground was occupied by number of
small mon who must say something to justify their
inconsistency. Tho same thing will tako place
tho third reading; and although we hear, IN the
outdoor meetings of the zealots, that at least a
dozen members to die tho floor of the
House to prevent its passing, yet this brutum full
mon is estimated at its worth, and people laugh
accordingly. The House Of Lords will DO vgor-
ously bombarded with petitions against the dread
cd measure, but being less under the influence Of
popular feelings, tho medicine will be swallowed
with faces less wry.
Observation-Disclosures notes have been
received by tho Federal Government from Sar-
Asuio nd h,,~ H.,
makes way. II is understood that 1t will
most likely proceed no farther, but leave the SOW
eral questions to be settled, if possible. by the
Deputies in the Ordinary Diet. which is to meet
in July. The PREsE says-''Wo have received a
private letter from Switzerland, containing nows,
which give with reserve, although coming
from good source. According to this letter,
tho check received by tho FREQ Corps has not dis
cournged tho Radicals, who will not renounce the
design Of destroying the Federal Compact of 49,
IS. We are informed that Borne, Vnud, So
leure, Argua, and Bale-Country. entertain the
project of sepa rating themselves from the Confed
GRAFTON, and constituting together Helvetic Re-
public and Independent. Il is believed, howev-
er. that NJ. Neuhaus, the Avoyer of Borne, to
whom in great part this extreme resolution is at
tributed. will think twice before he makes any
attempt on a compact which is guaranteed by the
great potentatcs, and which cannot be annulled
without the consent of oil partics.
Dreadful Catastrophe at Yarmouth, Ens1nnd.-From
100 to $50 Lines Lost.-Tho London Sun Of the even
ing Of May Sd, contains letter from Norwich.

lowing is extract:

now at Yarmouth, announced tho performance Of
being drawn by four geese on North River. The
suspension bridge crosses this river, and about
SIS people were tho bridge, when, between
Ave and six O'Clock, it fell in. IL is reported that
between 100 and $50 persons persisted. The ut
most CONSERVATION exists here-special trains
have ssarsed-the telegraph is beset by hundreds
anxious to obtain news Of relatives and friends.
Fifty three have boon picked out dead, and many
moro are. it is thought. still in tho river.
