ARRIVAL OF TIE ROYAL MAIL STEAMSHIP
NBERNIA.-SEvEND DAYS LATER
The Royal Steamship Hibernia, was telegraph
ed from the station of tho Merchants Exchange
this Sunday morning, at IS minutes past o.
clock. at which time she was 90 miles east of the
lower station, and 80 miles from Boston.
She arrived at her wharf in East Boston, at 81
O'Clock, bringing seven days later news from Eu-
rope, and making her passage in fifteen days.
She sailed from Liverpool on the 9TH inst.
Wo make our extracts chiefly from the Euro
pean Times:
CoMMERcIAL.-Tke Cotton market, which was
dull this day week, at the sailing of the Grea,
Britain, still continues in an inactive state.
The Corn market continues firm, and the fine
weather which prevailed last week at the sailing
of the steamer, having been followed by repeated
and heavy falls OF rain, the market, in the early
part OF the present week, acquired additional
frmness, and continues SO with slight draw
back, at the present time. Large quantities of
.qour are daily arriving from the United States
and Canada; and from the nature of the advices
recently sent across the Atlantic, the supply from
those quarters, there is every reason to believe,
Will increase. From the cause at which we
ON Wheat has advanced TO lSs-tho result of
the inferior qualities thrown OH the market.
The import duty on Flour is now los. 1Od. per
barrel. In some instances, recently, Irish Flour
has receded Is. per sack, and Canadian Cd. per
barrel, influenced, by the large arrivals from the
West, which amount since Monday to nearly
5000 barrels.
The Produce markets are not so active as they
have been. Rice is in less demand. Sugar has
receded little, with less inquiry, while the price
OF Foreign Coffee has improved shade.
The rate of interest in England is rising, in
consequence of the scarcity of money, superin-
duced by railway speculation. Some of the large
discount houses decline to take any more bills at
an interest of less than three per cent. English
Stocks, which had receded about per cont, re-
covered yesterday their former prices, and Con-
soils closed at 90 l-9 for Money and 9S4 for Ac-
count. Exchequer Bills stand at 45s. 10 AIS.

AS the settlement in the Share market has pass.
ed over tolerably well, speculation has taken a
new bound, and the new announcements are
grasped at with amazing avidity. There has
been little doing in the Colonial lines, the rage
being confined to the new projects in the British
Islands.
PRosPECTs OF THE HARvEsT.-The reports
which have reached us since our last, respecting
the progress made with the harvest in the north
are not of a character to alay the excitement
previously felt upon the subject. The heavy rain
which fell up to the 2lst instant was succeeded
by dry but unusually cold weather. Sharp fros,s
were experienced On the nights of the 22d and
23d instant, and though the temperature has since
risen, the shift of wind to the southwark threatens
return of wet. The interval Of dry weather
has hitherto been of too short duration TO admit
OF much corn being carried, and the extreme cold
has prevented that not before ripe making much
progress towards maturity. 1t is therefore feared
and not without reason-that the more back
ha nfrI y,ra
than the south.
by our Scotch advces, we learn that harvest
operations, which had been interrupted by the
heavy rain that fell between the 10Th and 22d,
had again been actively resumed, it will, never
theless, require some weeks of dry weather TO
get In what is still abroad. The lively reports
from the South had caused sellers of Wheat TO
demand materially enhanced terms.
~rom ireland the complaints in regard TO this
matter are however becoming general even along
the west coast, where the crop was previously
stated to have escaped injury, the root has, it is
stated, been discovered to have been Attacked
In the southern parts of the island the bulk of
the grain had, we are informed, been got in, and
even in the north the fields were fast being clear
ed. On the whole we are disposed to think tina t
the harvest will turn out better in Ireland than in
this side of the channel. The rise in the Eng
lish markets had had the effect of causing an ad-
vance in the value of both wheat and OATS
IRELAND.
THE TIPPERARy BANQUET.-At the late BAN
quet, given to Mr. O'Connell by the Repealers
Of Tipperary, that honorable and learned gentle
<nan, in the course of long speech, made the
following observations -
"Let the cycle but come round for England
(and it is coming fastj Ireland will have her own
again, and Englan will be obliged to ask for
that alliance which we are ready to make
an alliance of separate States under the one mon
arch, with our own Parliament to protect MS as
the sole source OF Legislation, for the county,
GCheers.
Every opposition must shrink before the might
and majesty of Ireland. Repeal will give to Ire
land the waters of life pure and unalloyed, and
unmixed with mephic vapours. They shall be
administered by resident Parliament acting for
the people-protecting and encouraging the in
dustry of the land, and giving peace, liberty, and
prosperity to Ireland" [Cheers.l
MIR. O'Connell has emerged from his mountain
home, and is again on the wing. He has been
lecturing "Monster Demonstration at Cashel !;
and his appearance at the Repeal Association has
given new impetus to the rent
