She broke her upper air-pump on the 13th day, and has been altogether more than six days without steam ; sailing with the screw disconnected. The passage of the Oregon notice had been received in England by the way of Havre. It is freely commented upon by the Times and other English papers, and by them spoken of as being pacific. The grain market exhibited considerable animation. The reception of the Oregon notice had caused the money market tobe slightly iníluenced, and unfavo rably. The battle between the free-traders and the prolectionists was still going on in Parliament. There is no mention of any further progress having been made in the Irish coerción bilí since its passage on first reading. The British government is to support Mr. Cunard in the establishment of the newline of senii-monthly steamers between Liverpool and New York. A steamer will sail, weekly, on Saturdays, alternately for New York and Boston direct, without reference to fixed days of the month as now. This arrangements is for eight months in the year, and is tu go into effect with all despatch. The proceedings in Parliament, which point to a speedy release of the grain and flour in bond, at the low rate of duty, have given moi e animation to those articles, which are more inquired for, and necessarily of greater value. Ireland. - The accounts from various parts of Ireland, as the wants of the peopeople, are painfully apparent. One day last week sixty people were admitted into the poor house at Dungarvon. At Tuam the destitution is described as being ffiarfully on the increase. The Relief Committees in Galvvay are busy in meeling the evil. The people are stated to be in the most wrctched condition imaginable. Towurd the Listovel Relief Fund the Lord Lieutenant has subscribed the sum of L500. In various paris of Tippernry efforts are being made io meet and to provide for the deficiency in the food of'the people. At the usual weekly meeting of this Repeal Association on the 4th, Wm. Gorrón, Esq., filled the chair. A letter was read from Mr O'Connell, in which it was slated tliat Mr. Collelt, the tneniber for Athlone, had joined tl.e association. Mr. O'Connell spoke in handsome. lerms of what he ca! led the ♦ manly beanng" ui' Mr. Smiih O'Brien. A vote of confidence to Mr. S. O'Brien wasproposed by Mr. Duheny, and carried. The rent for the weck was L153. France. - On the 5th, the anniversary of the death of Napoleon, masses and funeral services were celebrated in the different churches of Paris. Countess Demidoff, dnughter of Jerome Bonaparte, ussisted at the service perforined in the Chapel of the Invalides. The French funds feil towards the close of business on the Bour.se on Wednesday, owinglo the reports that Oporto, in Portugal, was in full nsurrection, and that unfavoraüle intelligence had arrived from America. M. Piret, the Belgian en voy to the U. States, had arrived at Havre, to embark for Washington. He was said to be the bearer of the ratification of the treaty of commerce and nnvigation concluded between Belgium and theU. States. Spain. - The lutest dates from Bnyonne are to the 29th of April. The nsurrection in Gallicia is at an end. A despatch containing this intelligence has been received from Gen. Concha by the captain-generul of Burgos, who has forwarded it to Bayonne by exlraordinary express. Gen. Concha arrived at Orense on thr 18th, where he remained till the 23d for the purpose of concentrating his forces. On that day he left for Santiago at the head of 3,000 men. having given orders to Gen. Blazer to mnke a simullaneous attack on Vigo. On the following day Concha presenled himself before Santiago, which was defended by the wholo of the insurgent forcé under Solis. Concha attacked the town from the heights of Cachera, and succeeded,after an obstinate resistance, in compelling tho town, and the whole of its defenders, to surrender at discretion. The loss of the victors is cstimated at 100 killed and wounded. Gen. Narvare is still here, and the nows of the trmination of the Gallician insurrection isconsidered iikely to have an unfavorable effect wilh regard to his dosire to return to Madrid. Had the result been otherwise, it is thought that the government would have been forced at ony sacrifice, to consent to his recall. Polano, - A letter from Cracow, dated April 26, states that an altempt was made to excite the people to revolt by means of religious fanaticism. A woman dressed as peasant, was placed on the altar amidst cries of "see, a.aint appears during divino service !" The pretended saintannounced to the assembled multitude that the holy vugin had appeared to her in a dream, nnd said to her, ♦ Poland ie not yot lost ; God the Father has resolved lo estnblish the kingdom of Poland in all its fullnese." Some pólice ogentaandthemilitia, entered thechurch, arreoted the modern saint, and conducted her to the prinoipal door. The crowd lollowed the saint, but soon dispersed at the sight of the cannon. The Cholera. - Thisdreadful scourge is reported to have extended from Bokhara across the Persian frohtier to He rat and Meshjd, thenoe south of the Caspinn to Teheran, and still further south to Ispahan. Recent accounts from Odessrt state that it has crossedthe Russian boundary, and has appeared at Tiflis, taking a courae northward botween the Caspiarand Black sens ; while, according to the latest intolligence from Riga, il has broken out at Orenburg, in the Uralian mining district, crossed the Volga, and appeared on the European side at Kasan, about 1,200 miles from St. Petersburg. If these accounts are lo be trusted, the diseaae has taken a somewhat irregular course, in a direction west by north ; and t does not appear to have followed the banks of great rivers, as in the former eruption of 1828 and 1830. The disease which reached England in 1831, prevailed in Persia for seven years from 1823 to 1830. lt appeared at Orenburg for the first time in 1823, and was confined to this quarter for a period of five years. lt re-appeared at Orenburg in 1829, and its prevalence and fatality were so great, that upwards of one-tenth part of the inhabitants were seized with it, and one-fourth of those who were attacked died. lt reached St. Petersburg n July, 1831 : and England on the 26th of October of that year. At Tiflis, where it is again reported to have broken out, the mortality from the former epidemie was so great, that thiee-fourths of those who were attacked perished.
