ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.
Twenty.three days Later from
Europe.
IMMENSE EXCITEMENT IN ENGLAND ON
THE Corn LAws-FAILURE OF LORD
JOHN RUSSELL TO FORM A CABINET,
AND RESTORATION OF SIR ROBERT
PEEL.
The Royal Mail Steamship Hiberna arriv>
ID at Boston, on Friday morning, the Esd ult.
IN twenty-one days from Liverpool.
BY this arrival we have Liverpool dates to
January 4th.
The British parliament had not yet assem-
bled.
The Foreign news of the last two or three
weeks possess more than ordinary interest.
The intelligence by the Overland Mail the
opening of the Spanish Cortes and the French
Chambers; the interview between the Pope
and the Gar, are all points of more or less
interest.
The Presidents Message was received at
Liverpool on the 22d Of December, per ship
Sea, after passage of " days. A special
steamer employed by Wilber 8. Smith, hailed
the ship Sea off Point Lynas, 60 miles distan.
from Liverpool, and conveyed the message TO
pressed thence to London in six hours the
same day. The editor of the European Times
says-It is State Paper,the arrival of which,
in our twenty years experience,never excited
the one half the interest which the message
of Mr.. Polk did this year.
The Leeds Mercury says-The message of
President Polk to the Congress of the United
States is of exactly the character which had
been anticipated. In regard to the Tariff it
is satisfactory; but in regard to the Oregon
territory it prefers claims so extreme and un.
compromising, and recommends policy SO
peremptory that, unless Congress should de.
cline to adopt the policy, it is too probable
that war will be the result
THE WING CABINET DISSOLVED, AND THE
PEEL MINISTRY REsroRED.-It seems thai
Lord John Russell could not succeed ir
forming a Cabinet, and that the ole
Peel Cabinet has been restored to its leading
features.
When LordJohn Russell threw up his cards,
there was no alternative but to send for Peel;
and the most extraordinary move in this dra>
ma of cabinet making, is that he felt as little
apparent hesitation in resuming his old office,
as he evinced promptness in throwing it up.
His resumption of power Immediately made
itself felt in every branch of trade. Confi>
dence, which had been shattered by the rail-
way panic, bacame paralyzed when it was
known that Peel was out; the markets fell,
the funds sunk, business was suspended, and
gloom, and a mist, hung over the colnmer>
cal and trading world.
The Notifications at Portsmouth harbor are
nearly completed. Upwards of one thousand
workmen are now employed in the dockyards
at Deptford. Some Of the English papers
continue to assert that the extensive war
preparations now making throughout the king
dom are intended only to guard against the
possibility of war with France.
Upwards of ten days have elapsed since it
became known that Peel was again Premier;
and every day has shown improved symptoms
in the produce share, money and other mark
dinary, from the fact that his future policy
is as much matter of speculation as the new
comet-even more underlined, undeveloped.
Nobody knows what Peel will do, but every
body has confidence in Peel. The London
Examiner says. "The beauty of the present
juncture is, that nobody knows villa: Sir Rob-
ert Peel is going to do, and yet every man is
satisfied that he is the man to do nobody kno,cs
,ohat."
The cabinet resumes power with its per-
sonal but slightly altered. Changes are few,
and with ono exception, unimportant. Lord
Wharneffe, the President of the Council,
who died from the colleagues, is to be sue.
ceeded by the Duke of Bucclengh. Lord
Ellenboro'l is Il. be the First Lordof tn Ad.
miralty. The Earl of ofHaddlngton is to have
the office of the Prvy Seal, which the Duke
of fBucclengh filled.
But the most striking change of the whole
is the resignation of the Colonial Secretary,
Lore Stanlay, aud the appointment of W. F.
Gladstone as his sue cessor. This change in
wolves too many and important considerations
influences too many interests, not to have
the greatest possible attention.
An explosion recently took place at the
Monrlllon of Toulon, by which eight persons
were killed and several wounded.
It is stated in the mercantile cities of Wen.
ma, that there is not much chance of the treaty
of commerce between the Zollverein and the
United States being concluded.
The very picturesque buildings at Ipswich
in England, called the 'Verandahs,' have late
ly been destroyed by fire.
The alarm respecting the deficiency of The
potatoe crop is OIL the disc ase, and the present
dull period Of the year ls not dulef in the
manufacturing districts than usual, perhaps
less so.
The collers in nearly all the coal regions Of
England, Scotland and Wales, have demanded
an increase of wages.
Louis Philippe opened the session of the
French Chambers with the usual forma lilies
on the S0th ult.
IRELAND.-The present state of Ireland is
still most Observation-Disclosures and murders not
abated. The Repeal Association continues
its weekly meetings, and the projection Of
railways and other works are among the
more prominent and important events that
have lately occurred therein. The Repeal
Association, at its meeting on the 18th ult.,
was attended by Mr.. OConnell, who made a
long speech. in the course of which he
pledged himself to support the Corn Laws
