ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN
Ell DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.

Inc 1aVorite steamship bfeat western, zap |
tain Matthews, arrived at New York at o.
clock on Wednesday morning, in II days and
~ hours from Liverpool, with SO passengers.
She encountes5d a continued succession Of
strong westerly winds. We are indebted to
Messrs. Adams & CO.. Express, and to Messrs.
Shu.tz s. Taylor, for Wilmer & Smiths Eu-
ropean Times Of the Goth ult.
In consequence of the abolition of the duty
on cotton, and the promise of an abundant crop
the Liverpool market has been depressed some
what, aud speculation was nearly extinct, but
$500 bags American having been taken by spec
ulators during the week ending the Goth Of
March.
The Corn trade was dali, and appears likely
10 continue so.
The Sugar market was brisk, and the de-
nland for American beef and pork tolerably
productive. Lard, although the price afforded
remunerating profit, moved off slowly.
IN American Securities, the European Times
states that but little was doing, in consequence
of the donbt whether Pennsylvania would pay
the August dividends On her bonds. Some pur-
uSases were made at So l-2 to 10.
The Queen has approved of the appointment
OF the Dean of Westminster to the vacant See
ofEly.
The English Parliament had adjourned for
The Easter Holidays.
The passengers have united in a testimonial
20 Capt. Matthews.
The Repeal rent for the last week amounted
10 5s497 l5s. Sd. Ireland is quiet,
The papers are full of annexation articles,
being question which would naturally excite
great attention in Europe The Times says,
that the consent of Congress was long expect
ed, although there were strong moral objections
hpf At Iph thau
loved they coveted. The article is quite hos
tile.
The Morning Chronicle says they are more
mortified than surprised at annexation
1t is painful, indeed, to be thus driven to de-
spair; painful to behold, without struggle,
slavery, which we have so long and so extern
sively, and not Intellectually combated, thus re-
gain what it has lost, and sweep, like huge
sea, in uncontrolled devastation, over a surface
of such vast extent. Deplorable as is such u
prospect, God grant we may not have to con-
template something worse.
The passage of the Annexation resolutions,
and Mr. Folks inaugural, have excited much
comment from the London papers. The Times
holds this language, i'll reference to Mr. Folks
claim for Remuneration, and his assertion of
the clear and unquestionable right Of this coun-
try to the Oregon territory:
A lie repeated after it has been contradicted,
and secuted by we'll informed and honest men,
is lie raised to higher power-the square
of lie. Mr., Tyler minated in message some
time ago, that doubts were entertained by some
whether Texas had not originally formed part
of the United States, and been improperly ali
enated from them: but Mr. Polk resolutely af-
firms, that "Texas was once part of our coun-
try, was unwisely coded away to foreign
power, is now independent and possesses an
undoubted right to merge her sovereignty in
ours' The whole assertion is utterly ground
less-frst, because Texas formed no part of
Louisiana when sold by France; and, second
ly, because the boundary treaty with Spain
concluded in 1919 definitely wiped out all
such equivocal claims for ever. But in this
discussion no argument is practicable; the off
is resolved on Selling his prey, and it signifies
but little that the lamb stood drinking lower
down the brook.
Mr.. Polk holds mewhat similar, though
less precise language, as to the Oregon terrific
~. He pledges himself at the very outset Of
his career, and with full knowledge that ne
gotiations are actually going on between his
Cabinet and Great Britain, that the American
title to the country of the Oregon is clear and
unquestionable. But it may spare time likely
to be consumed in very Improbable discus
sion, if we express an opinion, at least as decic-
ed as his own, that in spite Of his marauders,
and what he terms his constitutional rights, the
territory of the Oregon will never be wrested
from the British Crown, to which il belongs,
but by war. Mr.. Polk AYERS, that to enlarge
the limits Of the Union is to extend the domin-
ion of peace over additional territories and in
creasing millions; bat he will find that when
they are so far extended as to include the right
ful possessions of the British empire, they will
encounter The hostility and the resolution of
people not inferior TO the pepulace OF the Unit
ed States in spirit or in resources.
FAILURE OF AN AMERICAN HOUSE IN GLAs-
COW. Advices from Glasgow mention the fail
ure Of Messrs. J. s. g. Pattison & Co., OF that
place, who have house in New York, and
who have done large business. Their debts
are said to amount TO upwards OF etl60,0Oo, OF
which it is said $50 900 are owing in England,
while several Scotch firms are spoken of as
likely to suffer. A meeting Of the creditors
was held on the 9th at which sixty-live out of
about ninety attended. There it was agreed
that a committee composed of five OF their
number, should be appointed to take charge OF
the estate until they should hear from Mr. G.
Pattison, who went out in the Cambria. The
creditors agreed to take whatever composition
the committee might propose, and about lSs.
or lbs. in the pound is expected.
A SINGING mouse has been found in Liver
pool. and has been seen by the editor OF the
Mercury.
A bill repeating the civil durabilities OF the
Jews, so as far municipal and corporal Office are
concerned, has passed the Lords, the Duke oil
Cambridge expressing his candid concurrence
in the measure, and promising high eulogium
on the benevolence of some members OF the
Jewish persuasion. His royal hIghness added
that he would be always ready to support any
amount of federation that did not endanger
the interests of the Church of England.
Mr.. O'Connell has been trying his hand at
exciting once more the Repeal flame in the
Irish provinces. grand Repeal dinner was
