THE ZURICH CONFERENCE.
The prolongation of the Zurich Conference
is anticipated. The difficulties that hinder
adjustment have not been settled, and it is
considered doubtful when the treaty will be
signed. The three Plenipotentiaries held
conference on the 9th inst, after which cou
riers were despatched to Vienna. The CORE
spondent of the London Times says the delay
is attributed to Austria, and that the Vienna
Cabinet is doing all it can to win France to
its views; while at the same time it is report
ed as preparing coalition against Napoleon
in Germany.
THE GREAT EASTERN. .y
The Great Eastern left Portland at o'clock
on the afternoon of the 9Th, and anchored at
Holyhead on the 10th, at P. M. The dis
lance run in the 4S hours is computed at
something over $50 miles. The average speed
for the whole trip was little over 10 knots,
but during the greater part of the trip the en-
gines were not used at over half speed. The
greatest speed attained was 143 knots, or
nearly II miles per hour. This was accom-
plished without special exertion by the en-
gines, but there was considerable canvas
spread. The weather was squally, and at
times there was long heavy ground swell,
causing, according to some authorities, good
deal of pitching and rolling while others say
that the motion was very slight, and the ship
under the most perfect control. 1t was re-
ported that she would remain at Holyhead 10
or y days and then proceed to Southampton.
She is to have her boilers thoroughly repaired
in accordance with the requirements of the
Board of Trade.
The correspondent of the London Times
who was on board of the Great Eastern, in a
letter written before the run to Holyhead
says that the ship will probably lie in South
ampton during the winter.
THE SAN JUAN AFFAIR.
The London Times eharacterizes Gen. Har
neys act at San Juan as gratuitous insul
to the British Empire, and one which canno
be passed over. 1t expresses the belief tina
no large class of Americans will support tn
policy which has been inaugurated by Gen
cral Harvey, but thinks the mission of Lieut.
General Scott would result in the peaceful
settlement of present difficulties.
Rumors are ahoat of considerable differ
ence in the English Cabinet in London to tn
