The steamer Great Western arrived at her dock
In New York, at ten O'Clock last night, from Liver
pool, bringing dates to the 3lst ult, twelve days la
ter than those brought by the Britannia.
The Great Western brings one hundred passen-
gers. ..
She took out the news of the capture Of Monterey
by the American forces under General Taylor,
which created no little excitement.

deporable situation. 1ipperary il almost in
state Of instruction. A few days since il was our
painful duty TO notice the murder Of a man named
Geeson, in that riding Another named Will
liams, has shared the same fate. The town Of Tenn
plemore was the scene Of three food riots on Mon
day, by mob varying in numbers from one TO i've
hundred men. The worst feature in this Transaction
Is, that several Of the persons engaged in might
have had employment, though TO a very limited

The rage for the possession Of firearms is in
ereasng daily. An attack upon the Very Reverend
DIR. Holmes, whilst fishing on Saturday last, by
armed gang, eighteen in number, was, in some
measure, successful.
On the evening of the same day the house Of
farmer IN the parish oringlass, was burglariously
entered by three rufians supplied with pistols, who
carried OF $40 l5s Nor have the depredstors spared
their own clergy. The residence Of the Rev,

In the southern division, Lord Donnemore's agent

populeus town Of Clonmell. By far the greatest

pearance Of a slumberng volcano.
The DIFFICULTIES OF THE MMisTRY.-Lord John
Russel and Lord Cottenhsm, at the cabinet coun-
cal on Wednesday, urged earnestly the constitu-
uonal necessity for an early session Of Parliament,
before Christmas, not only to obtain act OF in
demnity for Lord Bessborough's extension Of the
labor-rate act, but also TO obtain parliamentary
sanction for the reduction Of the Is duty import
cd grain. The council broke up without coming to
any definite resolution.
At tho meeting Of the ministry on Thursday, the
subject resumed and on this latter occasion the
opponents OF an early session had the advantage OF
Mr.. Bancrofts arrival from the United States with
intelligence that the supplies Of grain collected in the
American ports for expectation is so ample as TO
render II extremely improbable that the supply was
equal to any demand that could be made, conse-
quenuy this removed necessity for the reduction OF
the duty, thus relieving the ministry from the most
important motive for calling early session. An
other step in what he is said to call the adminstra
ton Of despotsm.
The objections to an early session have been most
anxiously pressed by the Irish secretary, and the
other ministers connected with the government OF
Ireland, and with some show Of reason they
alege, that an early session must embroil them
with Mr. OConnell and bis sdherents, and thus
deprving the cabinet of its principal support. II is
not only on the side of Ireland that there are such
difficulties threatening the administration at the
assembling OF Parliament, whether early or late.
We have the testimony ofthe Mill Owners Jour
nal to the fact that feeling Of the necessity of redu
eng produce and wages between thirty and forty
per cent for such must be the effect Of working four
days instead fisk, rapidly spreading, and becom-
ing almost universal This serious reduction in the
amount Of wages contemporaneous with a steady
advance in the price of the principal necessares Of
life is not calculated to infuse an agreeable temper
into the proceedings of the popular branch Of the e
gisature.
third objection to early session may come
from Lord Palmerston, who may not be deslrous Of
explaining the process by which he has managed to
give the French government and people triumph.

The fetes in Paris in honor of the matrimonial

1t would not look well to have fetes in honor Of

theatres OF this phenomenon, and have produced in
