ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.
Eleven DAYS Later from Europe.


The GREAT WESTERN arrived at New York
on Monday evening, the 10th inst, with elev-
en- DAYS later news from Europe. We find
synopsis Of her news in the Baltimore Ameri-
can, from which we gather the following
items -
She brings 100 pas, engers. The capture Of
Monterey by the Americans, had reached En-
gland The condition Of Ireland IS deplorabe
some Counties and Towns are almost in
state of starvation on account of the scarcity of
food. The RUSSELL Ministry seemed 10 be
in trouble The Premier has been endeayor-
ing 10 have q meeting OF Parliament before
Christmas, mot only 10 obtain an Act of In
demnity for Lord BLEssBoRoUGH, extension
Of the Labor Rate Act, but also TO obtain
Parliamentary sanction for the reduction of
the shillings' duty on the import Of Grain"
The effort proved unsuccessiul-the oppo
nents OF tho measure learning that the prepa-
rations in the American ports for exportion Of
Grain were so great as 10 preclude altogether
the probability of want.
From France, we learn of most disastrous
and melancholy floods and consequent des-
truction of property. The waters Of the river
Loire rose TO a greater height than they have
been known 10 do for century past--they
rose in single night 20 French feet. The
fe,es in honor Of the marriage of the Duke de
Montpenser, LOUIS PHILLipPE's younaestson
with the lnfanta Of Spain, have been postpo-
nsd. Another instruction has taken place in
Portugal
The Markets for American Provisions are
fair, both in London and Liverpool. Bacon
and Hams, Lard and Beef. are in demand a,
IN advance OF price. The latter Market has
not undergone any material change since last
sdvices-we annex all that is said of the Grain
Markets -
LONDON Conn EXCHANGE, Friday. Oct 30
A liberal arrival OF foreign Oats has com
pleely frustrated any advance generally asked
for Irish during the week. and we experience
slow trade at our previous currency. While
Peas are in good request, Egyptian Beans ar,
is to IS dearer There is no change in tho
value Of other grain.
LIVERPOOL Com EXCHANGE, Friday, Oct
oU.--At TINS CAV market the mlerS VINO Grt
now tolerably well in stock, appeared almos
unanimously determined 10 remain on the re
serve. The whea, trade altogether was con
sequendy languid in the extreme, and hat
sales been feasible, beyond very limitec
amount, many holders would have accepted
easier terms. Irish -four, upon a short supply
was unaltered in value, but United States an,
Canadian being more difficult Of sale thai
usual, all descriptions of this article, both frc
and in bond recedcd Is per bbl. below las
quotations. Mailing Barley and Malt woul
readily bring much higher rates, but havin:
little or none of prime quality remaining here
no certain prices for the moment can be form
ed. Grinding Barley, Beans and Peas, atten
ded by occasional sales, fully sustained las
curencies. Oats and Dat Meal, meeting yer,
little notice this morning were on the turl
cheaper. Indian Com would be taken freel'
for Ireland, there being several orders thence
which in the absence OF supplies cannot b
executed for the present, although il practca
bic, somewhat higher prices might be obtained
