ARRIVAL OF THE
GREAT WESTERN.

GREAT WESTERN.
Ev the steamer Great Western,
Captain Matthews, in eighteen days
from Liverpool. we have English papers
to the 18th instant. This favorite stea-
mer has large number of passe. 1ers.
and heavy freight.
The improvement in business,
ced at the sailing of the last stee
continues; and matters are neal, IN
the same relative position
The Cotton market continues steady,
and although we canno, fix higher
quotation, yet on some descriptions there
has been an upward inclination. Con
siderable anxiety prevails respecting the
new crop.
The failure of the potato crop inAu-
ences the price Of provisions of every
kind. Bacon and ham are rising ra-
pidly. Indian corn IS also increasing in
value, as in fact is almost every kind of
grain.
The Sikh war is about to he renewed
in India The British army is assem-
bling again for this purpose.
IRELAND.
OConnell has gone to Darrynanc,
and there will be iuii at Cancellation
Hall. He dilates on the failure of the
potato crop, and promises the people
plenty of food and work if they keep
quiet-if they do not violate the law.
He estimates the the expense of feeding
the people until the mex. harvest, at Eff:
ty Millions of Dollars, which sum, he
estimates, tile Government is ready to
advance, if the necessity arise
The commissioners have reported
that the bay of Galway presents great
natural advantages for more rapid
communication with North America.

Seven Days Later from Europe.
ARRIVAL OF THE
STEAMER HIBERNIA.
BY the arrival Of the mail steamer
libernia. Captain Ryrie, which arrived
here this forenoon from Liverpool, ma
king the passage in thirteen days and
eighteen hours, we have advices from
Liverpool to the 10Th September, Lon
don 18th.
Well founded apprelensions Of a
failure in the American cotton crop
have caused an increased demand for
the staple in Liverpool, and prices have
accordingly advanced farthing per
pound
Her Britanic Majesty's government
and the people Of Spain have manifested
so much hostility 10 the marriage Of the
Queen of Spain's sister, to Louis Phi
lippe's youngest son, that the celebration
OF the nuptials has been postponed for
the present, if not forever.
The immediate consequence is tre-
mendous war of words between Eng
land, France, and Spain. The remote
consequences will probably be the de-
struction of the entente cordiale, which
have so long existed between the Courts
Of st. James and St. Cloud. 1t is hoped
that the sudden extinguishment Of the
fires on the altar of two young hearts,
will not prove the means of exciting q
general confagration among the crown
ed heads and Kingdoms of Europe
The total failure Of the potato crop ap-
pears to be sad reality. Every where
in Ireland, and in the greater part Of
the British Island: the potato fields are
shrouded with the dark mantles Of the
plague. The vegetable has turned in
to putrid matter, which even the hogs
will not devour. From the Continent
of Europe, including Russia, we have
dismal accounts of the progress Of the
blight The future use of the potato,
as an article of food, is now almost
abandoned.
AT the latest date, 18th September,
American flour was selling at twenty
nine shillings to thirty shillings per bar
rel, duty paid, at Liverpool. The price
in bond, was twenty.seven shillings and
six pence.
Indian corn wasquoted three shillings
the quarter higher; and closed at forty
