ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP
GREAT BRITAIN.

MARKET EAsY-FArR DEMAND FOR Flour
PRICE DECLINED.
The arrival of the Steamship Great Britain, at
New York, yesterday morning, at D O'Clock, AM,
was elegraphed to this city for the Ledger, at an
early hour yesterday morning, and special car
rier brought us the papers by the early morning
train, from which we make our extracts.
The Great Britain brought ninety-one passen-
gers Her news is three days later.
She made the passage in the shoitest time on
record to New York Deducting stoppages, she
was but II days, ii hours, being-seven hours
quicker than ever made to that port.
The markets appear to be firm as at last advi-
ces.
The sales of cotton since the departure Of the
Cambria, were 1900 bales No change
prices.
Flour was selling for 26s. and 25s., duty paid.
and fair demand.
The money market was easy. Stocks firm.
The crops in England and France LOOK well.
4 disposition is manifested on all sides to give
the new Ministry fair trial
Mr.. Golden has addressed letter 10 his con-
stituents at Stockport, in which he intimates that
the state Of his health will require him to leave
the country for twelve months, and that il they
desire it, he viii tender his resignation.
The son of Mehemet Ali, the heir-apparent to
the throne of the Pharaohs, continues To excite
good deal of attention in England. He is teted
in all directions--is present at all the sumptuous
entertainments Of which the British metropolis is
the scene.
The France observes that the fall of Sir Robert
Peel has the air of triumph, and this is so much
the general opinion manifested by the Paris Jour
mails, that We shall be excused from extracting
series of eulogies without enough variety to rem
der them interesting.
Lord Brougham declares his intention fopDoS-
ing the new administration to the utmost Of MS
power.
STEAM PowER-About 100000 men were
employed for twenty years in erecting the Great
Pyramid of Egypt. From computation OF NJ.
Dupin, it appears that the steam-englnes OF Eng
land would equal the whole product OF this I'M
mense application of human labor, in lifting
stones, within the space of eighteen hours
The New Ministry.
Wilmer & Smiths Times, speaking Of the
proceedings of the new ministry says:
There seems Disposition in every quarter,
to give the new government a fair trlal-to test
it by its acts. The Protectionsts are notoriousiy
unable to form ministry. Aware OF their weak
ness, their hostility to the new is less intense
than their hatred of the old government. The
followers of the Ex-Premier prefer the Wings to
the Protectionists, so that Lord John Russell's
Government, from the peculiar combination o.
parties, has absolutely foes-opposition has
disappeared.
In this spirit the business Of the session Will be
hastily wound up, and the recess will enable the
new ministers to concoct their plans for the future,
and present them to the country. If they are well
developed-popular, and up to the mark-the
strength thus gained may enable Lord John Rus
sell to weather the next session and to dissolve
the Parliament with eclat at its close.
Such result might give him majority IN the
new House commanding enough TO sustain hlm
for wears. The chances on this head are the grea
ter, because the topics which will hereafter MANI
ly engroSs the attention OF statesmen arc less ex-
citable IN their kind, interfere less with the pc
cuniary interest or the personal preJudiceS OF
large masses of people, than those winch have
occasioned the conflicts of former years.
Ireland seems to be the only exception TO the
rule. 1t may be, as Sir Il. Peel has done much to
aStonish the world, and above ALL TO astonish
his friends, that before he finally quits the polit
cal stage, for him may be reserved the honor OF
reducing that huge, unslightly cancer, the Irish
Church, to position becoming the paucity OF its
members and the largeness of its revenues. II
would be fitting climax to his career as prac-
teal reformer.
IRELAND.
There is not any news of Importance from
Ireland since the sailing of the Cambria Some
of those horrld murders, which have hitherto
made that country kind of Academia, have
been lately perpetrated in the country of Cavan.
