AT IL o'clock last night We received
from our correspondent at New York d.
rect. by telegraph, the following summary
Of the news brought by the steamer Gale
donia.
The steamer Caledonia. Capt. Lott ar
rived at Boston on Tuesday night from
Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 4th
inst,
/ The steamship Great Britain, Capt.
Hosken, left Liverpool on the 22d nit, for
New York rih one hundred and eighty
4 five passengers. and on the same night,
she went ashore at Rathmullep, in Dun
drem bay, on the coast of Ireland. The
passengers were oil safely landed. At the
lates, accounts she had not been got eff.
Her cargo had been discharged. The
particulars OF this disaster may be found
/ below.
The surgeon of the Great Britain was
/ the frs. who landed with. the mail bags,
/ with which he proceeded 10 Liverpool,
via Belfast. They were sent on 10 the
United States by the Caledonia. In the
course Of the following day (the 23d) a
large number OF passengers proceeded to
Warren Point, and others to Down Patrick,
with the intention Of returning TO Liver
pool.
The larger number proceeded 10 the lat
ter place, v here the scene OF that morn
ing presented one which that little Irish
/ Town never before witnessed. -Four horse
coaches, and some dozen jaunting cars
proceeded, at the same time on 10 Belfast
to take passage by the steamer Windsor,
which sailed on that day for Liverpool.
Amongst the passengers were the dis
tinguishsd 'Dansenses Vienncses," forty
eigh, in number. During the day the
steamer Prince Of Wales went around from
Belfast 10 render the Great Britain sssis-
lance. II was tried in high water, and
found TO be impossible, she therefore re-
turned to Belfast, taking these 4S little

will try to take her off at high tide.

The royal marriages in Spain formed
the most prominent points Of discussion in
the European Journals.
The London Times and the Morning
Chronicle protest in strong terms against
the Monpensier union with the Infanta.
The European Times says the Govern
ment seems disposed to do all that it can
TO meet the end.
In Ireland every means are being taken
TO find the people employment, which is
equivalent to finding them with food /;

will prove a severe and trying calamity
under the most favorable circumstances,
but we may now nationally indulge hope;
that II will not prove utterly destructive Of
that important resource for the annual sup
ply Of human food, the crop Of potatoes.
I. s1'here is no important substance. no ma
teria proportion of anything raised snnu-
ally in great bulk for the sustenance Of
civilized man, which is SO liable waste and
destruction as the po,atoe; and we have
no dosbt in ordinary seasons one-half Of
the usual crop Is, IN Cheat Britain either
used for cattle or wasted, and that no more
than one-haif is eenvcried directly into
food for man. This suggests very inter
estng re lection at this juncture, for if only
one-half Of an ordinary crop be applied
directly TO human food, much smaller
than usual supply would prove adequate
to that purpose, exclusively. provided
there be an abundance of other food fit for
sat!le, to be substituted for the potatoes
! and prss yred roofs uruallv given to them.
