The steamship Britannia anived at Bos
ton on Saturday morning. and was receiye.
in Philadelphia BY express. from whenc.
it was communicated 10 the Baltmor,
Sun by Magnetic Telegraph, some twent,
four hours in advance oil the mail.
The news is Of considerable importance
and very interesting, particularly SO far a
relates TO the reception of the news o
Gen. Taylor on the Rio Grande.
The Corn Bill has triumphed in tn,
committee Of The whole in the House o
Lords by majority Of thirty.three. Con
sequently all fears as to its final passage
are at an end. and rich market for Gu
superabundant crops Of breaddulfs may

There has been decline of one-eightl
pence in the cotton market, though The
demand continues steady.
In England and Ireland the wheat ant
potatoe. as well as other crops, have fin,
and prosperous appearance, and the pros
pect FOR plentiful harvest was considere,
good on the 18Th ult, when the Britain
MIA sailed. II seems. therefore, that We
have monopolized all the rain in this d.
rection, unless The storm clouds have paic

Sir Robert peel's retirement is more
confidently spoken of than BY former ar
rivals--ihere is, however, nothing posi-
tive known yet with regard TO his inten
tions in this respect. It is based on thu
suppostion, that on The completion of biz
great measures he will retire from active
life.
The war between the United States ant
Mexico engrosses public attention. The
victories Of the Americans on the Rio
Grande has changed public feeling boil
in England and France from sympathy
for the Mexicans 10 contempt. Thi
change of opinion, however. is as unjus

TO the Americans. The Mexicans deserve
much credit for their gallant stand, and i
was only the superior tact and energy o
Gen Taylor and his brave little army tina
overthrow them.

The government organ, however, does no
touch or the subject, and the probability
is that the organ of Mr. Guizot is used al

Death Of The Pope Of Rome.-His Ho
illness Pope Gregory the 10Th, departed
ibis life on the LIST Of June. He had beer
indisposed during the last week of MAY
but on the 2Sth or ooh of that month he
was believed by his physicians perfectly
recovered. His death was sudden, snc
may possibly give rise TO similar rumors q.
followed the decease of several Of his pre-
decessors. He was in the Slst year o.
his age, having been born in the year 1865
In ordinary times the decease of Pope
would not occasion any censasion in the
political world, but such is no, the case ir
the present instance. Pope Gregory the
18th was good, kind, benevolent man
sincere in bis religious principles, arc
more tolerant than most others who had
held the KEYS of ST. Peter.
Cardinal Frazoni, it is said, is the per
son most likely to succeed him.

contract.

before the 10Th Of June than for some
years. The thermometer marked, in the

the hottest experienced in that country
for sixteen years. The number Of death
recorded from being struck by the sun i
very numerous.
