the Pope OF Rome.-Passage OF the corn
bill.-Deeline In the cotton market
Decline In wheat, -four, &c.
The steamship Britannia arrived at Boston on
the morning of the 4th inst. She brings adyicss
from England up 10 the 18th We have received,
nearly complete, our files of London papers up to
the 18th inclusive. The only summary of the news
which we find is brief abstract communicated by
telegraph to the Baltimore Sun.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the intelli-
gence, is the reception in England of the news Of the
victories of General Taylor.
The corn bill is settled. IL has triumphed in the
Committee of the Whole in the House of Lords by
a majority Of 80
Sir Robert Peel's retirement is more confidently
spoken of than by former arrivas-there il, howev-
er, nothing positive known yet with regard to HIS
intentions in this respect. The opinion is based
the suPposition, that the completion of his great
measures, he will retire from active life.
In the cotton market the demand continued
steady, though there had been a decline of one
eighth of penny. The wheat and potato crops in
England and Ireland have fine and healthy appear
ance, and the prospect of a plentiful harvest was
considered good the 18th ult. when the Britannia
sailed
M. Guzot's organ is still pointing out the neces-
sty and policy of France and England interfering,
| by Joint action Of some kind to protect Mexico
from what it terms the rapucious and tyrannica
conduct Of the United States in seizing the terri
! tory Of weak and unfortunate nation. The gov.
eminent organ, however, does not touch the sub
ject; and the probability is that the organ of M.
Guizot is used feeler to ascertain the views Of
the people in regard to such movement.
LIE Compte, the attempted assassin of Louis
Philippe king Of the French, has been executed.
This announcement will be received with universal
surprise, as this unfortunate man has heretofore
been uniformly represented as laboring under sin
guar delusion, nearly approaching to insanity.
DEATH or THE POrE OF ROAE.-His holiness the
Pope Of Rome is dead, having expired suddenly on
the LIST of June Cardinal Franzon, it is said, s the
person most likely to succeed him.
New STEAMsHIPs.-Three or four steams hips for
weekly communication between the United States
and Great Britain, are constructing by the same
builders and engineers who built the Cambria, and
steamships Of the British and North American line
The Messrs. Cunard are to have the contract.
Dr. Ellis, professor of Hydropathy, has been
held to bail for mInsaushter for causing the death
of a patient by administering the cold water sys-
| TEN.
The heat greater in Paris the week before the
| 18th of June than for some years. The thermome-
ter marked, in the shade $50 of Fahrenheit. The
English papers speak Of the month Of June being
the hottest experienced in that country for sixteen
years. The number Of deaths recorded from being
| struck by the sun is very numerous.
| Wheat has declined in the Liverpool corn market
between the 18th Of May and the 18th Of june from
SIS. to SOS. l0d. per quarter. Flour is also lower.
Approximations were entertained in Holland of
allure Of the rye and potato crop
1t is stated that the British government have at
length determined upon bringing affairs the region
| of the La Plata to a settlement and that Mr.. Hood
gentleman emiaently qualified for the task, sailed
on the 2st utmo, in the Devastation steam -frgate
direct for Buenos Ayres, with instructions to enter
upon negotiations with Gen. Rosas, with the view
| of bringing the question to a settlement. The
French government have also sent orders to Rio
for Baron de Mareuil to join Mr.. Hood at Buenos
| Ayres.
Parliamentary.
| The formal business transacted by Parliament
| though not unmportant, may be recorded in brief
space. The Irish coercion, the grand subject of
debate in the Commons, hangs over: something
to be done about last night, if time permitted
| and our postscript will tell the result.
| 1t has been followed up by three other bills
| which Lord Lincoln introduced Thursday to
improve the relation Of landlord and tenant in Ire
land One Of these bills is to secure the outgoing
tenant in compensation for his improvements; the
| il, fari III 49, a
the third mtgates the law Of Notwithstanding
to the tenant complete notice than he can as
yet demand, and altering the law which requires all
the undertenants to be outsed because the middle
man is elected. The details, particularly Of the first
bill, look complicated; but it would be premature to
judge of their merits by Lord Lincoln's very gen.
era though well managed description. They were
| received by the House with marked and universal
| favor.
The corn bill has been under discussion by the
lords, on the demand to 60 into committees resisted
| by Earl Stanhope and the protectionsts Those
peers who missed the delivery of their speeches on
| the second reading, take this opportunity Of duly
publishing their essays The debate has been
| heavy enough; although enlivened at the outset by
| some Of those droll sallies which Lord Stanhope
means in sober sadness, though they have the air
| of testing
Private members have not been idle. Mr. Fox
Maule has moved the second reading of his bill to
extort free church sites from landlords in Scotland
out the uebate is ADJOURNED TOT week. ne OH
belongs to the "stand and deliver" class of egisa-
tion hitherto monopozed by the sovereign power
in the state, but now gravey claimed Iy the new
Scotch dssenters.
In April last Mr.. Halves obtained vote of the
Commons in favor Of paying the outstanding Danish
claims; this week ministers have obtained vote in
favor of not paying. That kind of eating your own
words is a familiar feat with the Commons, espe-
caIly in the matter Of the Danish claims Justice ia
with the claimants, we believe; but the afa has
been so often explained to the intelligent British
pubc-so often forgotten, re-explaned, and refor-
goten-that the public no longer know, or to
know, what those trcsome words "Danish claims"
mean; they only know that the talk is vastly te
dious; and that it is habit inherent in all minis
tries, from time immemoria to resist this demand;
so the public always skip the debate, presume tina,
what must be must be, and think it, perhaps quite
we'll to save the G200 600 which would be wanted to
pay the sufferers. The interest will never be
| vved, unless the claimants induce Mr.. Bur
ford to turn their case into panorama, or Mr..
