ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA.


following extracts:
London June 10, o'clock.-The Morning
Herald this Gay announces that it had received
an express from Alexandria, via, Marseilles,
stating that the Sinks had revolted, killed two
|commissaries, and massacred all the British
troops at Lahore.
London, June 10, eucning .-With a continu-
ance of very favorable weather the growing
grain crops are steadily recovering from the i'll
effects Of the excessive wet experienced in the
early part of the spring, and the subsequent Sc
we're drought. Wheat, we are happy to be
able 10 state, progresses favorably-in some
early localities it has already come into ear;and
the reports as to its general appearance are, on
the whole, OF a satisfactory nature. Potatoes
(only second TO wheat in Importance are also
we'll spoken OF, and admitting that Lens sown
corn may prove more or less defective, we see
no reason at present to apprehend any materi-
al deficiency in the produce of food, either for
man or beast. The late genial showers have
happily come in time to do much good to the
grass lands, and the hay harvest is likely to
prove far better than il would have been had
tn. drought continued single week longer
! than it did. The improvement which has Ia
ken place in our prospects, since the close of
May, In respect TO the future supply of food,
has had the effect of depressing the trade in
grain, and prices of almost every article have
given way, with prospect of some further re-
duction.
In the House of Commons, Lord John Rus
sci gave notice Of a measure to alterthe reform
act, so far as TO repeal so much of the existing
law as makes 1t necessary to pay the assessed
taxes, In order TO be on the register as an cleo
tor in cities and boroughs. This step will en-
large the constituencies very considerably, and,
above ALL il will remove those obnoxious re-
lstrictions on the elective franchise, which it
was one of the main defects of the reform act
TO create. The other motion of the noble lord,
TO alter the oaths taken by members of Parlia-
ment, aims to accomplish, BY side wind, that
which he has failed TO do by direct legislation
in the late Jewish disabilities bill, and it can
scarcely be expected to succeed. The liberal
feeling which prevails generally in favor of
the admission of the Jews to Parliament,
cannot, however, be much longer resist

apprehension Of the Chartist Leadcrs.--On
the 9th of June, the Chartist leaders, John Fus-
sell, Joseph Williams, and Alexander Sharpe,
were arrested in their beds in London, and Er-
; nest Jones, a barraster, at Manchester, on the
preceding evening. They were all brought up
at Bow street in the course of the day before
MIR. Henry, on the charge of"wickedly, mali
ciously, and seditiously uttering and pronoun-
and concerning our lady the queen and govern
ment," in Clerkenwell, Green, and other pub
lie places, on the 25th, 10Th, and 29th of MAY
last, and the 4th of June inst
Williams is baker, and Sharpe is copper
plate printer, out Of work; Fuse IL is Jewel
Ter by trade.
The bench said that bail, after notice, would
be taken.
On Wednesday another Chartist leader ma med
Vernon was committed from the same office for
a similar offence.
II All these cases appear flimsy. In the
case OF Jones conviction will hardly be OBJ
tanned.
From the London Times, June 10.
Ireland.-Dublin, June S.-There is no re-
taxation in the labors of the confederate clubs.
r Meetings are held almost every night, and ur.
gent appeals made to the members to lose
no time in making the necessary provision fol
e a coming contest. Irrespective of an abund
4 ant supply of pixies, 300 stand of firearms, i'm
! ported from England, have, it is said been add
ed TO the arsenal of the confederates, and l.,
&C 600 more are daily expected from the same
e quarter. The standard price of musket or ri
file is fixed at Is.
AS fresh stimulant to the Wondering EN-
II bers of dsaffection, the prospectus Of the new
>; war Journal the Irish Felon, has just been is
sued; the first number will be published on Sat
III urday, the 25th inst. The editors publicly an

It northern Protestant, and, / believe, gentle
+, man of some property; Mr.. Devin Reilly, an

re will be conducted are identical with those pro
pounded by Mr.. John Mitchell.
Perhaps in the memory ofthe present genera
h. ton there never seemed such bright prospect
r. for the farmer-so far as abundant crops ca
testify--as the present. The earth, in com
n' mon phrase, groans under its precious burden
a. of Wheat and other grains. The dearly love
a. potato of the Irish peasant is springing up wit
in seeming health, and greater luxurance, and i
greater abundance, at this early period of tn
a. year, than we recollect on former occasions

ar The National Assembly voted bya MAORI
