ARRIVAL OF THE
II I B Z H n I A.
New YORK, Sept 8.

The Cunard line steamer HI
bernia arrived this morning from
Liverpool, whence she sailed
on the Goth ult.
Her advices are, therefore, a
week later. 'ihe news is not
OF very extraordinary interest.
She brings accounts of a ca
lamitous disuster at sea, in the
burning of the ship Ocean Mo
march, bound from Liverpool to
Boston. She left port with 39S
passengers on board. ! he fire
was discovered when eight miles
from Ormshead. At the time,
several vessels were in sight.
Mr.. Littledale's packet bore
down to give her assistance, but
the wind was blowing too hard
to approach her. A boat was
lowered from her, and seven
teen persons were saved. The
Brazilian frigate .9iphonso, COM
manded by the Marquis de Lis
bon, on a pleasure excursion,
and having on board the Prince
de Joinville D'Aumale, and
large company, was also in sight.
She also lowered her boats, and
by extraordinary exeriions, sa-
we'd one hundred and fifty Of
the luckless passengers & crew.
The Prince de Joinville is said
to have distinguished himself
by his indefatigable and sue
cessful efforts 10 succor the dis
tressed. Fifty persons were
also rescued by other vessels,
but still the loss of life is ago
nizing.
The news from Ireland is of
a meagre character.
On the second trial of o.
Dougherty, the jury could not
agree.
Smith O'Brien, and the 9TH
er leaders of the insurrection in
Tipperary, were to be tried by
a special commission.
The grain crops are repre-
sented as being below an ave-
rage.
Lord John Russell has an
nounced that he will convene
2 Parlialnent, should England a.
gain be threatened with famine,
In Scotland, the movements
of the Chartists have caused
some uneasiness. All kinds ol
munitions of war have been dis,
covered showing the existence
Of an extensive conspiracy.
The continental news is gen
orally of pacific character.
The socialists still disturbed
the peace of Paris, but there
were no outbreaks.
The Italian question was still
unsettled. Charles Albert still
exhibited una ated confidence
in his ability to sustain his po.
sition. The Intervention o.
France and England was YET
continued, and rumor says thai
Austria is content to adopt the
Adige frontier, leaving I.om
ardy to join Piedmontor Swift
zerland. This, it was suppos
ed, might form a temporary ba
sis, but no permanent peace cal
be expected while Austria hold'
any portion Of the peninsula.

Flour is scarce and held at last prices. Wheat
has declined I'd per bushel, but at the last ac
counts symptoms of Improvements began to
be manifested. Corn meal is unchanged and
the market dull.
Money is abundant. Consols are quoted at
500 500 and market unsettled. The influx
of specie has been very large.
Business in the manufacturing districts is
improving and but few failures of minor i'm
portance have taken place.
At London on the 2lst, American flour was
held firm with offers to buy at lower rates.
Grain had declined.
On the oath, a further decline of Is perquar-
ter in wheat was experienced. Flour, with
the exception of the finest brands, was still de-
clining.
On the 26th, but little business was done
and prices were steady.
On the 18th the market was inactive, but
prices were fully maintained.
Iron was unaltered. Several furnaces had
been compelled to stop.
The most reliable quotation for flour is 27s
Cd to 29s for best American descriptions and
market dull.
Willmer's European Times quotes fine leai
lard at 58s to Cos in kegs and bbls, and as so:
for ordinary descriptions.
The principal failures that have transpired
have induced the stoppage of several Indian

Col. WIN. PoLK-CoL. FREMoNT.-The
Washington correspondent ST the New York
Courier and Enquirer writes in his letter Of the
9th inst:
Since the rejection of Kit Carson as cap
tain of Rifles, because he had been appointed
over the heads of meritorious fellow-soldiers.
Col. William Polk, brother of the President,
stands first-rate chance of being rejected as
major of agoons-though the principle which
produced the rejection of the one, is scarce APP
plicable to the case Of the other.
Col. Fremont is sentenced, and pretty severe
ly in the bargain. The President has had the
case under advisement, but up 10 this moment
no satisfactory conclusion has been come to.
Meanwhile Major Polk is doing very well IN
Mexico, dreeming as little of the precacious-
ness of his situation as the most modest clerk
of your custom house. In the midst OF life
there is death, in the midst of success there is
danger. 1t would be hard case though, il q
man were to resign chargeship for which he
was confirmed, in order TO accept majority fol
which he is rejected.

SOBER CoNsr3EnATIoN.-We have in GU.
war arrived at a point for sober reflection
Looking back to the beginning, hardly mar
in the nation, we think, will not regret tina
our troops ever crossed the Rio Grande, or evei
passed beyond the Nueces. We can lool
at the present. Mexico is subdued, and lies
physically at our feet, and yet does not sue TO
peace; and hardly has she the ability remain
ing to possess Government which would b
worth our recognition. Any treaty which
her present so called Government might make
would rather be an occasion than cause 10
terminating the war. A great portion OF he
people sit quietly in their houses still. The
have been so used TO uproar and the din of wa
that this war has but little increased the in
terest of their feelings. They are not subdueS
in feeling nor aroused perhaps TO any great eft
fort at resistance. The war so far has cos
them much less money than it has cost us, blu
more lives. though generally Of less individual
value. We have gained great military glory
and Mexico has lost everything in comparison
though in the abstract she has shown mor'
courage, skill, and resources of all sorts, thai
the world supposed she possessed. lyon th'
whole the damage and the danger have beer
greater on our side than hers. We put int
the wager great, prosperous and happy ma
ton with institutions the freest and choices
ever possessed by any nation, and she pun ID
nationality and institutions hardly worth th'
keeping If we look to the future we see tina
the strength is all on our side, and of cours
the action must be ours. There are certain
things which we can do, but others we canno
do. We cannot control the wills OF the Mex
leans We cannot compel them to remai
bound by the treaty stipulations of their presen
Government. We can fall back; we can 6
forward But we cannot compel the Mexican
to love us.-Jour. of Com.

We are now going on at cost of fully SEP
