PROGRESS OF QUEEN VICTORIA,

The favorite of old Neptune and the Americans,
the Great Western, Captain Matthews, has ar
rived, and relieved of the little anxiety that
began to feel for her reputation for speed.
She sailed from Liverpool On the 2Sd ult and
perlenced constant and heavy westerly gales. This
satisfactorily accounts for the length of her passage.
One hundred and forty-fve passengers have come
out in her-a larger number than ever before
came in an ocean steamer
Among the passengers in the Western the
Hon ID. Jenfer, late U. S Minister to Austria;
Hon. w. Boulware, late U. 8. Minister to Naples;
and the Hon. c. Hughes, late U. S. Minister to the
Hague.
There appears to be no particular change in the
Cotton Market.
There is no news Of importance from Ireland.
Affairs in France are apparently quiet
There has been very serious religious riot In
Leipsic.
Tie Jesuits cause their share of trouble in Eu-
rope.
Advces from Switzerland state affairs in that un.
happy country are now near crisis. 1t will be has
tened by the dispersion of the Diet.
The toastof the King of Prussia was but little re-
lished.
There is nothing Of importance from Spain
in the Cabinet, &c.
We find tact in the Spanish news worth
thought The Spanish government has commenced
the restitution to the clergy Of the unalienaed pro-
perty of the church, and has even included in this
head property which had been really sold, but on
which the payments have not been made. This is
done with view to conciliate the Pope.
Railway accidents in England have become what

been-too general.
The weather continued unavorable IN England
The Roscius, Hottinguer, and Siddons had ar
rived out.
Queen Victoria's rambles on the continent con-
tinue.
The demand for Canadian Corn was active, in
consequence OF the unsettled state of the weather
The Overland Mail arrived on the 2ls ult !, the
commercial accounts by which possess striking
feature and may, upon the whole, be considered ia
vorable. Exchange was brisk, and freights for
England had improved. The cholera was sweep
ing over Western India and hurryiDg its victims
their last account. At Lahore the mortality was
notwithstanding on 10000! From China there
is nothing new.
Some dissatisfaction has been expressed by the
holders OF Pennsylvania Stock that faitn has not
been quite kept with them In the matter of their
bonds. The payment OF the interest, they crafty ing
ly acknowledge, has been resumed. and provi
sion has been made tor the payment of the arrears
but the certificates of the stock bear interest at
the rate of At, whereas the former at the rate
OF D and per cent.
1t appears certain, says the National that Louis
Philippe has several times advised Mde. Munoz
Queen Maria Chrlstna) to return to France. 1t Is
also very positively stated, that steps have been very
actively and persevering taken to ensure marriage
between the Duke de Montpensier and the Infanta
Donna Louisa Fernando
QUEEN vlcroRlA's vIsr TO GERMANY.-We
gave in our paper of the 18th nst an account OF her
Majesty's embarkatIon arrival at Antwerp, and pro-
gress up the Rhine, as far as Aix-la Chapelle: II
was remarked that the royal travellers looked re-
markably well, notwithstanding their tempestuous
voyage, and were everywhere received with de-
monstratons Of profound respect.
On Saturday morning her Majesty, accompanied
only by Prince Albert and her suite, left Stozen
fels and embarked on board tke steamer Fairy. The
King OF Prussia, accompanied them to the vessel.
He then took farewell OF them and returned on
shore, while the yacht, amid the cheering of the
multitude and the firing of artillery, in
tion, and proceeded up the Rhine. As long as she
renamed in sight from the bank below the castle,
the King stood upon the beach waving hls handker-
chief The. royal party reached Mayence at SIX
o'clock, having been rather more than six hours on
the passage. AS usual cannon thundered, and mu-
sic played when the Queen landed; besides the guns
the Notifications, troop of Light Horse Artillery
banged away, and not little steamer on the river
but had her crack out Of her couple of rusty
pop-guns. The Decentralization was the work of >
moment Her Majesty quickly disappeared from
vulgar eyes beneath the portals OF the Government
house, and the crowd which ad collected, follow
various barracks. Her Majesty and the Prince
were received by Prince William OF Prussia, the
Governor of Mayence. The royal party did not,
however, stay long at the official residence, bul
proceeded to the Hotel de lEurope, where sleeping
apartments had been prepared for them
After nightial the Queen was treated TO military
serenade by torch light. The appearance Of the
troops as they marched to the hotel the torches
Shin and tar 1pn he and xxh nnI-
forms, and the glanclng arms OF the Austrian and
P.ussian troops, had really striking effect. The
bands took up their station round the hote the space
occupied by them being kept by party of soldiers,
and the music, heard amid the rattle and clash OF
arms, the murmuring and rushing of the crowd, and
the military orchestra seen by the flashing glare OF
torchlght, all together made up rare treat for eyes
and ears. The serenade lasted for about three quar-
of hour, and the troops then returned to their
quarters, the bands playing up merry polka. Her
Majesty remained at Mayence, on Sunday and on
Monday proceeded, via Darmstadt, to Wurtzburgh,
where the Royal party would spend the night On
Tuesday they would set outfor Coburg, where long
days journey would bring them in the evening.
PERiLous ASCENT OF Mr. GREEN-One of the
most perllous ascents ever attempted by any aero
= naut was accomplished by Mr. Green during the
storm Monday night, and happily without any
serious result, in the Albion balloon, from the
grounds of Cremorne House, Chelsea. At the time
Mr.. Green entered the car, the rain poured in tor
rents, and he was advised by many gentlemen
TO ascend, but he replied that he was determined in
spite OF wind and weather make an ascent rather
than dlsappolnt the expectant public. To take up
the fireworks which had been prepared by the ar
tist of Cremorne House, MIR. Green found was i'm.
possible, as they were completely saturated with
rain. The balloon, VIII ch took at first direction
almost due north, was visible for some time, from
the light emitted by the lamps which Mr. Green had
provided to assist him in his descent After travel
ling through the storm for an hour, in the most un-
pleasant predcament, he effected safe descent, at
II o'clock in field AT Harrow, aided by four young
fhe hall lar
miles. Mr. Green calculates that al least a ton OF
water must have fallen during his voyage from the
balloon, By ascending during rain he carries with
this balloon an additional weight of about $50
poltnos by the netting and silk becoming saturated,
consequently he did not take up above 200 weight
of ballast. The balloon having been pack ed up and
conveyance procured, Mr. Green returned to town,
at about three o'clock Yesterday morning. He will
