BY Wednesdays mail, which in the fore
nocn OF the day we thought would be a
failure, we received intelligence OF the
arrival OF the steamship Great Britain at
New York on the 2lst ult., and digest OF
her news in the papers which came along.
We Still further condense it. The Great
Britain left Liverpool or the 7th ult-3
days alter the Cambria. She brought 81
passengers.
he sales of cotton from the 4th TO the
7th amounted to 1900 bales; no change
in prices.
Flour was In fair demand, at rs Cos.
duty paid Crops looked well in England
and France. The delivery of American
grair, -four, and produce, havenot fallen off
either in Liverpool Or London.
The money market was easy, stocks were
firm In either Mexican or American secu
rites there was no change.
The new Ministry have made the fol-
lowing ppolntments: secretary Of the board
OF admiralty, Ii. G. Ward; one of the lords
OF the treasury, lord Ebrington; under Sc
crelary of the home department, Sir Wan.
Somerville; under secretary for foreign af
fairs, - Stanley; lord advocate, A. Ru.
thertord.
The Duchess of Sutherland will be Mis-
tress Of the Robes, and MIR. C. Butler or Mr..
Hawes will be under secretary for the
Colonies.
A disposition is manifested on all sides
to give the new Ministry fair trial.
Mr.. Golden has addressed letter TO
his constituents at Stockport, in which he
lntimaIes that the State of his health will
require him to leave the country for twelve
months, and that, if they desire it, he will
lender his resignation.
The son of Mehemet Ali, the heir.appa.
rent to the throne of the Pharaohs continues
to excite good deal of attention in Eng
land He is feted in all directions-is
present at all the sumptuous entertain
ments of which the British metropolis is the
scene.
The French press contains commentaries
on the breaking up of Sir Robert Pecl's
Ministry. La France observes th,t the
fall of Sir Robert Peel has the air of tri-
umph, and this is so much the general OPT
mon manifested by the Paris journals that
we shall be excused from extracting series
ofeulogies without enough varieties to rem
der them interesting.
Lord Brougham declares his intention of
opposing the new administration to the ut
most of his power
One Of the most terrific thunder storms
ever known, passed over Devonshire. The
same storm was felt at Birmingham, Wind-
sor and Liverpool.
| From Algeria we have notices of bat
tie between the French and the enemy, in
which the former were victorious, hav
Ting four men killed-the latter had fifty
killed.
We notice speculations by the British
press touching the new Ministry and our
war with Mexico, with which we shall not
trouble our readers. Wilmer aud Smiths
Times says that all parties are disposed to
give the new Ministry fair trial. So they
may be, but with the more than Whg-liber
al principles avowed by Sir Robert Peel
on his retirement from office,- we doubt il.
the Russell Ministry will, to secure popu-
larliy, go far beyond his mark Our own
impression is, that the Wing Ministry is
doomed to be shortlived. In Ireland the
younger branch of the Repeal party has
already broke ground against them.
