'I‘iii: STEAMSHH’ Great Britain ar- rived at Liverpool, on the 17th ult. She left New York on the 28th Oct. On the 30th an arm of the propeller was broken, and another on the lat. leaving only one, and the arm of another, nitli a small plate which l:ad been placed on the end of it: which rendered the use of the sails necessary for the remainder of tie voyage On the thi the remain- ing arm of the propeller broke, leav- ing only the half arm and the small piece of another about two feet from the centre. 0n the I-'.tli, the pas- sengers met in the dining saloori.and agreed to it statement expressiw of the sense of the meeting as to the Vessel’s capabilities. This document after detailing the accidents to'tlie screw, goes on to say that the a- bility ofthe Great Britain as a sail- ing vessel is not inferior to arty ship aﬂoat. Several vessels were over- taken, allof.wliich were passed,aod

during a very heavy gale on the 10th - which' lasted nearly '24 hours, an ;

excellent opportunity was afforded ofjudging of her strength and ability as a sea-boat .

Tue OREGON question is beginning to excite some alarm again, as

the I time approached for the delivery of l the President’s Mesxtige on the o- . pening ofCongress. It is rumoured .

Neither of the gentlemen have been before the public in the charac- ter of professional agitators; and, as

\I ‘ ‘ that ofthe (.iet'gymen has been sailed —-there seems no

as- l'ti-‘tsittl to equal to the duties of the station; and it seems equally clear, that the “ godlrss scheme of education” likely to survive the senseless cla- moars by which it has been attack- ed.

that the FIUIICII are still busy mak— l iiigtho most ample preparations for l the subjugation of the inhabitants.— , A rumour from Russia, which has iohtained little credit, states that Nicholas intends to abdicate in favor of his successor, and that when he left St. I’etersburgh for Italy this had been resolved upon. In other respects the foreign news of the last fortnight pUSscSSBS but a transitory interest.

SUMMARY

It is stated that the Prussian Govern- tnrut is about to take steps for the sup- pression oftlie new Catholic service in tliaLCountry.

liere-the intelligence “illt'il came ‘

to hand yesterday by the Hibernia gave conﬁrmation to the statement-— tiiat Mr. on the question, and that he will go

even further than in his inaugural v

address. At any time of less depres- Stoﬂ than the present, such an im- pression Would have made itself felt on the market, and it may do so yet, as the intelligence by the Hibernia

Only came to hand when the basi— : MOSS portion of the day had been‘

partially consumed. The probability, however, is that with the stagnant feeling in all matters of commerce winch rules at present, people \vill “tut the result, rather than antici- putt: it by any premature movement. This vexed question of the Oregon

has, it is said, occupier] a great deal ;

oz'the Cabinet’s attention during their lair: frequent and protracted sittings.

There appears to be something very warlike in the wind, for the ac- tivity on the sea. board,and in the na- val arsenals, is as steady and unre- mitting as when we noticed the sub- Ject a month or six weeks ago.

hummer-The hostitity to the new colleges in Ireland has not ceased.— It is now ﬁnally determined that (laiway is to have one, Cork another .md Belfast a third. Some names are before the public as having been appointed to the directorasliip of the latter establishment, but it is useless to repeat them here, as some uncer- tainty hangs about the correctness of the various and conflicting state- ments. I’i'nfessor Kane, it is offici- ally stated, has been presented with the Presidency of the Cork College, and Dr. Kirwan with that ofGalway. The ﬁrst is a Roman Catholic lay— men, the other a dignitary of that church. The appointments, by all who wish well to the Colleges—all who think that a mixed education in that land of dissension will soften sectarian hostilities, and bring out the more humanising traits oftlie na- tional character-are consideredju- dicious and excellent. But they have been ﬁercely assailed by both ex- tremes of opinion—by the Orange- ~ men oii the one hand and the Repeal- ers on the other. Mr. O’Connell has publicly expressed his surprise and sorrow that Dr. Kirwan should have accepted the appointment of the Galway institution.

The English and Colonial Mails hav- 1 ing simultaneously arrived—we have i endeavoured to give the most interest- 5 ingfeaturcs of European intelligence— to the exclusion of a large quantity of

orginnl articles, bearing on the political l interests of the people of this colony.— ' Our friends in the country, invariably

look for the English news, and have always made it a point, that wln-n it arrives, to lay the latest intelligence before them.
