The steamer Great Western arrived at her
dock in New York, at ten o'clock last night,
from Liverpool, bringing dates to the 3lst ut.,
twelve days later than those brought by the
Britannia.
The Great Western brings one hundred pas
sengers.
She took out the news of the capture of
Monterey by the American forces under Gen.
Taylor, which created no little excitement.
Food Riots IN Ireland.-Ireland seems to be
in a deplorable situation. Tipperary is almost
in state of insurrection A few days since
it was our painful duty to notice the murder
of man named Gleeson, in that riding. Ano-
Their man named Williams, has shared the same
fate. The town of Templemore was the scene
of three food riots on Monday, by mob va
rying in numbers from one to five hundred
men, The worst feature in this transaction is,
that several of the persons engaged in it might
have had employment, though to very limit
ed extent, on public works, but they were pre-
vented from ayailing themselves OF it by in
tinidation.
The rage for the possession of fire arms is
increasing daily. An attack upon the Very
Reverend Dr. Holmes, whilst fishing on Satur-
day last, by an armed gang, eighteen in num-
Der, was in some measure successful.
On the evening OF the same day the house
of farmer in the parish of Oringlass, was
burglarously entered by three rufians suppl
cd with pistols, who carried off 1Ol 15s. Nor
have the depredatoGs spared even their own
clergy. The residence of the Rev. Dr. More
land, P p, of Castledown ARA, was visited
on Friday last by lawless party, which de-
liherately forced his keys from his pockets,
| unlocked MS desk, ana 'SelZcu on ~, Win
which they 'decamped.
In the southern division Lord Donnemores
agent has been robbed OF 70Gl in the open day
on the mail coach road, and within less than a
mile of the populous town of Clonmell. BY
far the greatest portion of Munster presents,
at this moment the appearance OF a slumberng
volcano.
The Difficulties Of the Ministry.-Lord j.
| II A. Il,
council on Wednesday, urged earnestly the
constitutional necessity for an early session OF
ParIiame t, before Christmas, not only to OBJ.
tain an act OF indemnity for Lord Blessbo
rough's extension of the labor-rate act, but al
so to obtain Il parliamentary sanction for th(
reduction of the As. duty on imported grain
The council broke up without coming to any
definite resolution.
At the meeting OF the ministry on Thursday
the subject was resumed, and on this latter oc
the advantage Of MIR. Bancrofts arrival from
the United States with intelligence that tn
supplies of grain collected in the American
ports for expectation is 50 ample as to rende
it extremely improbable that the supply wa
equal to any demand that could be made, con
sequently this removed necessity for the re
duction OF the duty, thus relieving the Minis
try from the most important motive for calm;
8 an early session. Another step in what he i
said to call the administration of a despotsm
The objections to an early session have beel
most anxously pressed by the Irish secretary
and the other ministers connected with tn
government of Ireland, and with some SHOW
of reason they allege, with reasons that a
early session must embroil them with MIR. o.
Cornell and his adherents and thus depressing
, the cabinet of its principal support. 1t is nc
only on the side of Ireland that there are sue
. difficulties threatening the administration at tn
assembling of Parliament, whether early O
< late.
= We have testimony of the Mill Owner
/ Journal TO the fact that feeling of the neces
sitv of reducing produce and wages betwee
4 thirty and forty per cent, for such must b
q the effect of working four days instead of sit
4 is rapidly spreading, and becoming almost L
! Universal. This serious reduction IN the amour
of wages contemporaneous with steady az
{ vance in the price of the principal necessarie
+, OF life is not calculated to infuse an agreeabl
V temper into the proceedings of the populs
3 branch OF the Legislature.
o A third objection to an early session ma

i he has managed to give the French gOvernmel
i and people a triumph.
o FRANcE.-The fetes in Paris in honor of Ii
= matrimonial conquest OF Louis Philippe an
his son have been postponed some time, in cor
sequence, as has been alleged, of the inund;
tons in certain parts ofFrance in consequence
ts of the late rains and storms. It is good ar
convenient, but it is not the real excuse. The
D. is a storm brewing, which the prudent b.
:, avarcious constitutional king of the Frenc
# foresees It is not his interestto quarrel wit
: England, and vet he has deliberately, and wit
:, malice prepense, provoked.

n sons, could not have been present. TIL
would have effected the funds, agitated Il
money market, and deranged the good King
re private interests as fund holder, trador, al

Dastructice Floods IN France.-We ha'
p most disastrous and melancholy accounts
in the consequence of a flood which had oGcurr'
