The Euglish News.

The monster steamship, Great Britain, arrived
yesterday morning about eleven o'clock, after
tedious passage of twenty days. From the fact OF
her beating every thing in our harbor, on her way
up to the city, we were not little astonished at
her long passage; but we learn that an accident
which occurred when she was but five days out
compelled her TO use sails only, for about a week,
ut sea.
The news Is not particularly important. The
English press had received intelligence of the pas
sage OF the Oregon resolutions in the Senate the
day before the Great Britain sailed, by the way OF
Havre-and generally the English press seems 10
have formed a favorable opinion on the tone ofth
resolutions and the character of the closing debates
on that subject Yet we cannot argue much as to
the ultimate destiny Of the Oregon question from
the tone OF the English press. Symptoms are indi-
Gated here and there of hostile spirit towards
this country MIR. Peefs government or the po-
tato-administration, it is called, proceeds slow
ly with the corn and coercion bills, and WILL pro-
badly, succeed in carrying both measures, and then
go out OF office. The debates in Parliament were
extremely monotonous and dull. The affair be-
tween Webster and Ingersoll seems to occupy
good deal OF attention in the English press. The
London Times copies a number of articles from
the Nctc York Herald in relation to the inve stiga-
ton, and declares its disbelief in any charges
against him, until fully established by the most r-
refragible testimony. A great deal of credit is
awarded to Mr.. Webster for the high statesman
ship he exhibited in the negotiations the North
Eastern boundary question; and not one of the
English journals will believe that he used any
corrupt weapons in effectng the peaceabe termi-
nation of that troublesome question.
On the whole the news is good in every point of
view; and it will probably be more SO, when the
accounts of the recent victories by American arms
on the Rio Grande, shall be received there.
The usual corn and money articles will be found
under their appropriate heads.

Important Movement.

We are happy TO learn that the Post Master
General has concluded contract with Messrs.
Edward X. Collins & Co., of this city, for a semi.
monthly line of steam ships,to connect New York
with Liverpool.
This contract has already been submitted to
committees in Congress, who will, probably,
make their report in less than ten days. It will,
of course, be for the immediate passage of bill
to sanction the contract. We may then expect a
line of splendid steamers-a line that will be an
honor and an ornament to the nation.
Action seems now the word on this side of the
Atlantic.

THK STATE CoSvENrIoN.-T The convention for
reforming the constitution Of this State will begin
its session on Monday next in Albany. We have
already given full views of the purposes for which
this convention was elected. II receives howe

out OF the war with Mexico and the achievement
OF the recent victories on the Rio Grande The
convention may, probably agree on some consti-
tuition, that win embrace some points of reform
points having reference to the financial action of
the State, the judiciary, and the right of voting.
We do not believe that the colored population

and barnburners; the two latter being sections of
the democrauc party. Ostensibly il is an assem-
blsgc to revise the constitution. but il NAV be
