The English News.
We give to-day our usual full and careful synop-
sis of the news brought from Europe by the last
steamer, the Great Western. All the important de-
tails, political, commercial social, literary, theatre
cal and so on, will be found under their respective
heads
The railway mania still RACES in England, and
that is the first thing which strikes US on looking
over our files Of English papers All classes of the
community are still rushing into railroad specula-
tion with the most feversh intensity Side by side
with this grand feature In the news, we have intell-
gence con6rmatory Of all the antcipations relative
to the bad harvests in Great Britain. A rise in
breadstus and decline in the price Of cotton, have
been of course the results. The concurrence Of
two such singular and contradictory movements,
may produce amoneyed CONFUSION In England in.
deed, we do not wellsee how such catastrophe can
be averted Ii those who at the head of financial
affairs do not manage their Institutions and opera
tons with the greatest caution, terrible revulson
mustvcry speedily occur In the meantime while the
speculative movement is progressing with extraor-
binary rapidly, and producing the most singular
and astonishing effects in various ways, the def
cheney in the crops must soon begin to cave IN their
moneyed operations. One OF the most striking
suits of this speculative mania, is seen In the fact
that in the London Times establishment alone,
weekly revenue of 1926 900 is accrung from the rail-
way advertisements. The last number of Black
goods Mdgasine by the way, contains an ar
ticle which illustrates, in a very felcitous
manner, the roguery, imposture, and perjury,
which are amongst the most prodigal fruits of
this extraordinary mania IN Great Britain The
day of reckoning appears. indeed, to be rapid
ly approaching. Yet, doubtless, the commercial
and speculative movement going on in England and
France, will have most potential effect on the
minds Of men and on moneyed affairs in this coun-
try.
With regard to the United States, the same feel
ing of hostility prevails in England, on account Of
Texas and Mexico, but not to the same extent as
formerly. Indeed, O'Connell and his clique in Ire
land appear to monopollze the subject of abuse Of
the United States. Both father and son are busily
engaged in making speeches against this country,
relative to slavery, Oregon, Texas annexation, and
everything else that is peculiar to our policy and
progress. The bitterness OF the O'Connell family
towards the United States is quite amusing and
laughabe. 1t would appear that the influence of
our institutions is making itself most seriously felt
in Ireland. in opposition to the cenary views
and operations of the "blg beggarman" Every
week. Irishmen in this counry,w no enjoy the privi
ege of citizenship in this free land, and who, by
honest and honorable toll and exertion are reaping
rich reward transmit to their friends and relatives
in their native country, such accounts and such ar
guments-often in the substantial and most conclu-
sive form Of solid dollars-o the superior excellence
of free government and republican independence,
that the humbug defamation of O'Connel is effec-
tually exposed, and spirit set in operation which
successfully neutralizes all his efforts to depreciate
this land of freedom. One thing, at all events, is
certain, O'Connell is no friend Of freedom. OF all
the old corrupt systems Of Church and State, he is
the constant and fulsome eulogist
American actors in England continue to meet
with distinguished favor. Forrest has been playing
at the provincial theatres with great success, and
Miss Cushman maintains her enviabe pre-
eminence.
mise OF all the existing difficulties between England
and the United ates, begins to pervade the radical
and free trade journals the other side of the water
1t is indeed quite evident that large and lnhuen-
tia portion OF the British public desire to see an
amcabe and speedy adjustment of all controversy
between the two countries, relative to commercial
regulations, the tariff, Oregon and every other sub
lect Whether this sentiment will animate the Mi
nistry or affect the opinions of Sir Robert Peel is,
however, very doubtful.
