ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.

ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.
Seren days later from Europe Quarrel
in Parliament on The Corn Bill and Co.
ercion BiN-improremeat in the lHoacy
Market
The Grea. Western arrived al New
York on Thursday morning about 10 o.
clock, with seven days later intelligence
from Europe. There appears 10 have
been nothing of an exciting character since
the news by the Caledonia. The Oregon
question is laid aside, for matters Of more
immediate home concernmen. which are
before Parliament, such as the Corn Law
and Irish Coercion Bill.
The news is highly interesting, but not
important.
The money market was steadily inn
proving.
There was Consid cradle business doing
in cotton at fair prices.
The ministry wish TO connect the corn
bill and the coercion bill, and carry them
throug h thgether, by sort Of log rolling
movement. The probability is that the
whole will fall through and the ministry
will probably break up. This will tend to
difficulties with this country.

THE OREGON QUESTION.
The article in the last number Of the
Quarterly Review, on the subject Of Ore
gon, Is beginning TO attract attention, now
that the hub-bub arising out of Indian vic
torres is fast subsidng. The gst of the
article is TO promote compromise, and the
reviewer would be content with The 4gth
parallel.
W. have cOntended from the irst that
any fair settlement ofthe dispute would be
hailed with avidity by the English people
in order to avoid the horrible consequences
which an appeal TO force would produce
and the semi official character Of the al
tcle 10 which we alude embodvng the feel
ings of the great Conservative party on the
subject, is conlirmatory of our views
IRELAND.
ify.-The price Of potatoes in Dab.
lin has now risen to Cd stone for good
ones, and 6 Sd for very Indifferent
ones.
This is the advance Of at least hun
dred per cent on the prices of last year,
Emigratioa.-The tide Of emigration to
America, from Ireland; has set in this
year earlier 'han usual. The quays at
Cork are crowded to Inconvenience with
passengers and their luggage. Already
one vessel has sailed with full compli :
mcnt IF passengers; and twenty three 9th
ers. with nearly four thousand emigranis,
are preparing at that pot for sea. In ad
dItion to hose, vessels are taking in emf
giants on the Shannon, Bantry, Skibber
cen. kjnsae, Youghal, Dungarvon, Wa
terford, and all the large ports round the
coast.
We have noticed, on more than one oc-
cas;on recently, the high estimation in
which Indian Corn, as an article Of fooC,
has risen on this side Of the Atlantic -
Sir Robert Peel, on w Wednesday, evening,
corrobora'ed our statement. In Ireland it
is fast supervising the watery potato, and
the Premier expressed praisworthy feel
ing Of pride at finding the people of that
country preierring what he justly styles"a
better and more generous description of
food.n Under such auspicies, the con-
sun Jt'''i Va Atul0il SOill
Britain cannot fail TO be carried to great ex-
tent. The excellent use 10 which il is
turned as an article of diet in the United
States is now tolerably familiar 10 Euro
pean, al all events to British ears. AS
regards Ireland, Ia s result is mainly at
tributable to Farther Mathew, for whom
appears to be reserved the honor, not only
Of curing the national distemper- foad
ness for whiskey, but, what is scarcely oil
less conseq iarising his coun.
try with the use of healthy and econom
zeal article Of food. The man who ban
ishes the potatoe from Ireland will confer
on her sons ncalculable service. To the
almost universal reliance on that msera-
ble vegetable as a means Of sustenance
may be traced much of the misery under
which the peasantry labor. Indian Corn
if generally used, would pu! an end to
much of the crime which is prevalent. II
would supersede coercion bills; it would
extin9uish much Of the heartbgrnings a
bout land; and by directing The energies OF
the people to nober end, than living sole y

ty would be- improved by better habits arc
enlarged comforts.
