ave the satisiaction of announcing that this magnifi- ‘ent. ship is.again afloat, and possibly in one of our spa- sous graving-docks. Our last report from Dundrum Bay gives the most favourable opinion of the successful ‘ermination of the skill, perséyerance, and enterprise Mr. Bremner, to whom the owners of the ship have, under the superintendence ef Captain Claxton, intrusted her recovery. We are glad to observe that the Lords of the Admiralty have ordered the British steam frigate Hirkenkead to leave Portsmouth, with a full complement the most effective men, round to Dundrum Bay, with instrucitons to render all necessary aid to get the Great Britain off. This is as it should be. It is to be regrett- od, however, that the apathetic movements of the Brit- ish Admiralty Board, permitted the ship to lie in that wild and dangerous spot, to endure the ebb and flow of

some 600 tides. Had she been a ship of the British|,,

Navy, she would have been got off in less than a tenth of the time.

Mr. Macerecor.—In our last we stated that this gentleman had been elected one of the Parliamentary representatives "for the commercial city of Glasgow. Mr. Macgregor’s extensive knowledge of commerce in all parts of the world admirably qualifies him for that office. For some time passed he has filled the situation of Joint Secretary of the English Board of Trade: this very lucrative situation he has resigned, in order to place his whole services at the disposal of his constituents.. Mr. G. R. Porter succeeds Mr. McGregor, and that inde- fatigable gentleman thus most deservedly advances into a higher position at the Boardof Trade. To Mr. Porter chiefly the public is indebted for the various statistical statements which are continually issuing from the press, relative to the commerce of this country.

Mr. McQueen stated in evidence before a committee of the House of Commons, recently, that, in the course of the last twenty-five vears, England has paid, for cot- ton alone to the United States, £208,000,000 sterling, or $1,300,000,000. ;

FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR. O'CONNELL. {From the London Tablet.}

Thursday was the day ofthe Funeral. Of this mourn- ful close of the obsequies we have not yet received full particulars, but from the various papers before us we glean the following :—

“ Another day, but*less of excitement than of sorrow. All Dublin, end a large section of the population of the

closing scene; and a very solemn and touching sight it

was to see the deep reverential feeling with which the! neople witnessed the passage to the tomb of their great.

leader. You could not mistake the sorrow which ani- mated all classes; forall felt that one -had passed away who had raised his country and his countrymen, both so- cially and morally, and that a time would come when his presence and his courage would be required to calm, or to combat the violent passions to which his de- parture had given vent, and whose play, ona wider field, may yet be expected. froma vefy early hour preparations for the funeral had commenced, and the police were active in making the best arrangements along the line of route, in which they perfectly succeed- ed; for the most perfect order and decortim were main- tained, without the slightest impediment, from the ca- thedral te the cemetery,

“ At twelve o’clock the procession set forth from the above.chapel, and thence proceeded through the princi- pal streets of the city, attended by an immeise con- course of people. ft was one mile anda half in length, and was composed of the various associated trades walking on foot, followed by Mr. O’Connell’s triumphal car, which conveyed him from the Richmond Penitenti- ary te his residence in Merrien-square after his acquit- tal by the House of Lords. ‘The coffin was laid ona rather plain and open hearse, and which was itself co- vered with rich Genoa velvet and members of Mr. O’Connell’s own family, the Lord May- or, clergy, magistracy, gentry, and the trades of Dublin under their respective banners, all in mourning—the citizens according to their wards, with scarfs and hat- bands, walking in procession, and carrying wands sur- mounted with black ribbon—troops of horsemen from town and country, with an infinite number of carriages, cars, &c., &c., formed the funeral cortege.

“To describe the extent of the funeral procession it will be eufficient to say that it took fuliy two hours to pass any given point.

“ After having traversed the principal streets in the city, it reached the Giasnevin Cemetery, and the last service being read, the body of the illustrious man was deposited, amid many tears, in its final resting-place. If before there was. apparent coldness on the part of those’ fur whem he fought so long and so weil, they, have redeemed it by their conduct to-day. The city put on the aspect of areal mourner. suspended—the shops without exception all closed— and men of every opinion, and without any exception, regretted the great leader. The poll et the college election was suspended as the procession passed by; and, in connection with the University, 1 may mention *hat almost every speaker on the hustings praised the eenius of O’Connell, and his.name was received in res- pectful silence by that audience which in life could
