Almut 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon our special ami exclusive express from Boston leached this of fi.e, with the despatches which arrived at that city in the atfainship Britannia at 8o'clock on Thursday evening. Onr messenger came by horses part of the way, ntnl then by the tainnus steamer Neptune, of the Independent Line, to this city. We are particularly indebted to Mr. Ueo.

Williams, the gentlcin oly agent of th it line, and to Capt. Rollins, of the N. for their energy and exertion in aiding us to carry out this piece of enterprise. The Britannia sailed from Liverpool on the 4th ii st and wu have papers from that city to that dote, front London to the 3d, and from Paris to the 1st, in 'Itisive. Our accounts in a commercial and financial point of view tire more important than they have been for llio last twenty yearn.

A terrible revulsion has co men red in England, greater than that of 182.1), and similar to that of 1837 in the United States. This revuI-ion has been produced by the combined influence bud harvest all over England and Europe, a bad monetary system, and the unthinking ind ition in railway speculations. All stocks ami every staple ure going the price of, hreudstufls, which the impending famine enhances a id improves. This terrible movement is just in iis commencement. The first blow lias been struck; mi I in Ireland, the agitator O'Connell is already us ng it for the purpose of opposition to thelunion.

The English government sin ins to be in a state of alarm, and Sir Robert Peel is calling cabinet after cabinet, to deliberate on the opening of the ports, und the best means to meet impending famine. Cotton is is the excitement caused by the revulsion is increasing every day. What the result may be, no one can it is the "beginning of the end" of the financial and political superstructure of England and France. The steam-ship Marmora from New York and Liverpool for Constantinople, put into Cove. 2d November, with coals on fire, and would discharge The warlike preparations in Great Britain continued.

The frequent cabinet councils, following each other so quickly, had created a good deal of anxiety throughout the kingdom, and it was thought that tltey would result in the opening of the porta for grain. The London Standard of the evening of the 3d instant, officially makes the annexed important "A cabinet council wasbeld on Saturday afternoon nt the residence of Sir Robert Peel, in Whitehall Gardens. The ministers present were Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Wharnclifie, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Stanley, Sir James Giaham, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, (he Eurl of Haddington, the Enrl of Lincoln, and the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert. The council sat four hours and a half.

After attending the council, tl.c Eurl of Lincoln left town for Windsor Castle on a visit to the Queen. "Another cabinet council will be held at the resi dence or 3ir Itnliert t'eet, hi wiuicnuii uaruens, this afternoon." All this trouble and distress in England ia producing an extraordinary revolution in nnrties there. It is already stated, on excellent authority, that Lord John Russell, the late leader of the whigs, will join the administration of Sir Robert Peel, and thut he will succeed Lord Stanley colonial secretary. To this important change in the ministry may be attributed in a great degree the confident hope that tho ports will be thrown open. American news to the 16th was republished in London paper-; of the tiSih, together with speculations of the American press on the affairs of Mexico, Texas, and the La Plata.

The London Times, in an article on American politics, lemurks thut the commencement of the session will, in the course of a month, call from Mr. Polk a full and authentic statement of the policy of the government, and adds Ihns: "The message of the President of the United States has seldom had more momentous topics to deal with, more important doubts to remove, more hidden things to reveal." Mr. O'Connell attended a great gathering of the repealers Ht Mayo, on Sundny, Oct. 19th. It is stated tin)! 80 000 persons were present, in spite of a greut deluge of rain.

The Paris share-market is in a still worse state man tnai 01 or xuverpuui. Reserved carriages for. ladies are becoming general upon all the principal railways in England. It is rumored that the banks of England and France are about to make arrangements for the reciprocal remittance of railway deposits, so as to obviate the derangements in the currency. Accounts from Leipsic and Frankfort state that 'lie commercial interests in both those cities were in ii wry embarrassed stale, and a financial crisis was ioev.til.lj.

Thirty rail JViy speculators have taken "French leave" of their bunkers in Vienna; the consequence is a fall in shares, and a curtailment of credit. Another advance of a halfpenny on the 4 lb. lonf took place on the in different parts of London; the ip" price, therefore, of "cheap bread in now and of the best wheaten and in some places 101. the 4 lb. loaf.

The average number of British shipwrecks in a ymr is 000, the vnlue of property destroyed sterling, and the number of lives lost 1,500. A Paris ministerial paper has the following runior of a settlement of tho Oregon question: Our private correspondence from London amouices that the cabinets of London and Washington have come to an agreement on the question of the Oregon Oregon territory has been rejected by the American Senate a majority of only two votes. An American p'enipoloutiary had repaired to London to follow up the negotiations, which' have at length ended in final arrangement. Ikon Steamships cmstrn.

lion of iron s'eamships is now iking rap progress in England, an particularly at Liverpool. In the extensive yard of Messrs. James Hodgson there is now no lesa than five iron steamers building. One, an iron stcnmship of 14110 tons burden, the first of a line of new steamers to run between New Yoik and Liverpool; her engines will be of 180-horse power, with the screw propeller: she will be fitted up in the first style for passenger and freight accommodation. Also another iron steamship, of 600 tons, to run between Liverpool and Kio dc Janeiro, the.

first of a new line of eight; her engine power iB to be 100 horse, with the screw propeller. Also a third iron steamer, of smalltr tonnage, intended for Ay res, with the scrtw propeller. They have also several other smaller iron ships now building. Tl.a yard accommodation is extensive, possessing machine rooms, furnaces, smiths' shops, with a 90 yards' frontage to the river, which is a mile wide at that point, and 34 feet deep at high water at their with other conveniences, arc ample enough fur building seven iron of 700 tons each, if fitted with the screw, at the same time. Wari.ike is evidently a screw loose between us and some or other of the countries from which, according to royal speeches, we are everlastingly receiving assurances of love and amity.

Preparations for sudden hostilities are going on in all directions. Signs of the qui rice are to be traced in every quarter. Old fortifications are being rejiRired, udded to, nnd strengthened. New ones are being erected. There is an unusual bustle in the naval yards, as well as in the arsenals.

Ships are being made ready up to that point from which they could ut once be pushed into immediate service. Those in service are gradually increasing their crewH to the war complement, while a large fleet, delicately called "an experimental squadron," as an army of observation is sometimes designated a cordon mmitaire, is in high order, and 'fully mnnned, prepared for a dash to any part of the world, and Aguiiist any enemy against whom it may be required. is it all is it all about? These preparations cannot be from any apprehension of a 'quarrel with the United States about Mexico or the Oregon territory. Some of them are being made too near home for lh.it. The real cause is, we opine, without mincing mutters, that, in spite of the recent bathing machine alliance, things are not auite comfortable between us and our French neighbors just now.

Pipe cau'en if difference, if not dispute, between us are, -rulced, many. Nut satisfied w.tli kicking us out of Spain, and turning us out of Greece, tliey arc now busy with their in China, that they may carry off all the advantages for which we fougnt and conquered in the late war with that country. 'Their eagerness to repent the fublc of the welf and the lamh towards our ally of Morocco may, also, in the end, lead to an unpleasant issue wi'h us. But the grand bone of contention just now ia I tip tYinrrinirp nf imp nf T.nilia Phllinna'fl Hiinn with the sinter of the Queen of Spain, which is sure to elevate the throne of that country, and bring shout new and formidable compact between France and Spain. We say that such a marriage would surely elevate the French prince to the throne of Spain.

We have not a doubt of it. Louis Philippe has no nuch thought; but the wretches by whom Queen Isabella is surrounded and held in enptiv rv, are too deeply steeped in crime and blood and to hesitate about adding one more muid'-r to those which they have already committed, to subserve their selfish and ambitious Chronicle, Nov. 1. Extensive forueries by Liverpool merchant. Saturday, information waa circulated throughout the divisions of the metropolitan and city police, that Mr.

Lyon, an extensive merchant in Liverpool, in the Smyrna and American trade, had absconded from that city, having committed forgeries to a very large amount. Mr. Lyon is believed to hnve quitted Liverpool about Monday or Tuesday last; but lie was not missed till Thursday. It is supposed that he is in London, and that he intends to quit the country. He is described as about five feet ten inches high, sallow complexion, black bushy hair and whiskers, rather prominent nose, dark eyes, thin face, prominent teeth, thin figure, and very upright; dresses generally in a black-frock coat, figured-siIk waistcoat, light trowsers, and black hat, Wcllincion boots, and black stock, and wears a largo shirt pin, and several rings on his fingers; is fond ni mking, and is well known in the sporting Lnnilcn Times, Nov.

3. TERRIBLE RAILWAY REVULSION. The railway mania has received its quietus. Something like a panic has overtaken the speculators in iron highways. Now that the reaction has come, it brings in its train ruin and devastation, and bankruptcy to thousands, but the end is not yet.

A more gigantic system of swindling has rarely been seen in these latter days, and the number of "respectable" persons who have lent (heir names to support bubble companies, mnke us blush for the cupidity of our common humanity. The Times has been foremost in this work of "fluttering the Volscians." It matters little what motives may have prompted the potentates of Printing-house square to sound the toscin; whether jealousy of their contemporari.s, or vexation that they did not participate equally in the spoil, or a determination to destroy the game of those who this is beside the question. "Wo try the act, the motive Heaven can judge." Theonly regret is, that it was not done sooner. But certain it is, that the Times, true to its character of seizing the right moment for acting upon fears, or controlling the public mind, kicked the beam at the critical instant, and to some extent produced the revulsion which is now witnessed. But without desiring to undervalue the power and the influence of the journal in question, it would be weak to attribute the prostration in the share market solely to its thunder.

Tbe Bank of Kngland, the critical state in which the food of the country has been placed by the harvest, and the state of the potato all, and beyond all, the ridiculous which tho protectors of the numberless moonshine companies made upon the common sense of causes, irrespective of the diurnal monitor, have forced tjje declension to its present point. The wreck of fortune and of character which this temporary insanity has produced, will be felt long after the causes that produced it have passed away. As a proof of the extent to which this huge system of swindling nan uccii carrieu, it may uc uiciinuirou I idles were not exempt from its influence. The female friends and relatives of those who pulled the win of certain imposing puppet schemes, were in the ('a habit of haunting the purlieus and offices of the ahare-brokers in the metropolis, to watch the nmik' in order to turn their letters of allotments to licst account! One of the til way papers is a certain batch of female speculators who 10 in vod to realize, by this kind of chicanery, during ilie height of the mania, the astounding sum of 1''amink expected in Enoi.ano the cycle of the seasons has befViended Sir Robert Peel.

AIuk! i iir day hn? come upon i Inn, II I loom) unprepiireil face it. I horrible, destroying impending. liuve seized the public mind, lit Ireland matters look England gloomy. The granaries of the continent are exhausted. The corn-nelds of the Vistula, the Danube, and the Elbe, are barely sufficient for the local wants of the inhab- i itants.

The nation is in commotion; and the cry of i "Open the ports, and let in corn duty-free," is heard on nil sides, reverberated from every part of the em- pire. The "pressure from without" has made itself heard in Downing street; urn! faith in the gone forever. A third of the potato erop in Ireland is destroyed. The government lias sent scientific professors to the scene of the mischief; nnd the awful truth is out, that this large portion of the people's es culerit thai Cobbett unfit for use. 1 Wlmt is to be done, in this terrible, this unlookedfor emergency? "Open the ports!" is the exclnmation; and there elands the shivering Premier, like a reed in the wind, paralyzed between affection for Ins slidirig-H' ale, and the horrors of public famine.

There he is, buluiicing the pros and cotu. But tiecessity is superior to even to law. The ports must be opened. assumes to be the tribune of the Irish beyond this, lie demands a grant of public money to the extent of a million and half, to be expended in the purchase of food; he calls for a tax of fifty per cent, on the absentees, and a tax often per cent, on the residents; he asks for the prohibition of corn and provisions leaving the island, and the prevention of distilleries consuming grain. Large demands, these.

Will they be conceded A day or two will solve the question; and, in the meantime, will find a wide murgin for the exercise of its ingenuity. 1 he cunning scheme to make food artificially in the crisis of its fate. Swept uwuy now, as it will be, its reimposition, with the views which the public entertain, and which conservative, and even agricultural members have tardily adopted, will-be found impossible. It is gone forever. In future years a small fixed duty may be sliding-scale never.

Everything proclaims the speedy extinction of the tone of the government organs, the language of the professed supporters of the ministry, the feeling in the public mind. It has long been seen nnd foretold that the first seuson of scarcity would fix its doom. So it has. Peel is a good actor. Ilia "shivering" is probably simulated, not real.

PLccd between cross-fires, exposed on his ilnnlc and his rear, it is necessary that lie should play his part sons not to appear to give a triumph to cither party. This he has he is doing. Like the "coy maid, half willing to be pressed," he may, perhapdj feel inclined to sing? "linn- hannv rnnlrl I ho with Were t'other dear charmer away." But it is suspected by those who appear to know him best, that his leanings are towards a liberal commercial, in contradistinction to a monopolist, policy.

4.) American provision trade presents no very striking feature. Of beef there is only limited nminlitv in the market.anil holders nnnear "Why should England he lew considerate for its citizens, ihan are the continental rulers for theirs?" Tne real fact in all probability is, that Peel is unwilling to act until he is armed with the strongest poasihle reasons for doing so; and in order to put cavil out of the question, he in said to be waiting for the report of the scientific commissioners whom he has sent to Ireland to investigate the potato disease. Some say that Parliament will he immediately summoned to consider what ought to be done, in the I noxious dispose of ilie stock on hand liefore the arrival of the new. Pork is dull, notwithstanding the small supply in the hands of the trade; this result is mainly attributable to the unhappy state of mutters in Irelund, where the farmers have been compelled to forte their stocks to a sale. There lias been some cheese brought to the hammer at 1 public sule, but only one-halt the quantity offered found purchasers, and that at a reduction of 3a.

per cwt. The market is bare of lard, and the price is high, owing to the state of the butler market. The I wool of the United States continues to find customers to England, and this branch of trade is improving; indeed, there appear to be no bounds to the consumption of an article which never, until recently, formed un article of exportation from America. Flour and corn market continues to rise, and the averages to decrease a little; but i the "jump" in the scale by no means indicates the actual price which good wheat realizes. The quantity of indifferent or badgrain which is thrown up- 011 the market keeps up the such a misnomer can be applied to scheme which very un- fairly represents the actual price of the article.

The 1 opening of the ports is a question ao important in itself, not only us it affects the corn trade, but what is of far greater consequence, as it affects the gen- 1 eral interest of the country, that it absorba every 1 other topic at the present moment. A morning pa- 1 per slated a day or two back, that a treasury order 1 had been transmitted to, and received at, the Dublin custom-house, admitting grain free of duty. This 1 statement turns out to be incorrect; but it was gen- I erally proof of the public mind being prepared for such a step on the part of the govern mcnt. An evening paper has published a state- ment to the effect that wheat and other descriptions of corn are to be admitted immediately at a low sixpence per bushel, and the 1 other kinds still lo'wer; but this statement, although put forth imposingly, is also considered premature. A cabinet council was held on Friday, at the house of Sir Peel, as the premier could not leave his home, owing to an attack of gout in the foot.

At this meeting the question of lite opening of the ports was no doubt dis- 1 cussed in all its bearings, and expectation was Irnnur I. A nnltia. cabinet council waa held at Sir Robert Peel's houae the following day, and the result of thia, as of the preceding meeting, atill remains a mystery. People have been anxiously looking to the London Guzrtte, expecting to see an official intimation of the government policy; but they have, looked in vain. The cabinet is s.iid to be divided on the point at issue, but no one presumes to think that the ports will not be opened.

It is the only thing about which people talk: "Out of the fullness of the heart the nouth speaketh." The decision of the government must speedily be known, because if corn is to come in duty tree, every duy adds to the difficulty, aa the time of the year is rapidly approaching when not only the Baltic, but the St. Lawrence will be closed by the ice. As regards the former, however, owing to thetcurcity which prevuils amongst aur continental neighbors, and the high price which grain commands there, much cannot be expected. The great hope is in the United States and Canada. The proof of the scarcity exists in the fact, that most of the continental powers huve already opened their ports for the selfsame object, and it is justly said: present emergency.

A privy council must lie colled the ports con opened, and us no announcement of siieli meeting has been made, some doy.s, it is piot rosy elitoso before tlie (sillcv of ciilniiei i.l lio intiile public. The state of things in these kingdoms ul the present tune, with the of "bread-stuffs" coming in free, or ut the lowest nominnl duty, must have a considerable effect on the price of those commodities in the United States and Canadian markets. Asa proof of the diversity of opinion which prevails in the cabinet on the subject of rescinding the corn laws, even for a temporary purpose, we may mention that another meeting was held, at house of Sir Robert Peel, yesterday afternoon. Tiik members of the anti-corn law league, resident in Manchester and its neighborhood, held special general meeting in the Free Trade Iinll of that town on the28lhult. The whole area of the building was densely crowded; and so great was the anxiety felt by nil classes of the people to be present at the proceedings, that many ladies and gentlemen who attended were utterly unable to find sitting accommodation.

Among the more influential gentlemen who occupied seats on the platform were R. Cohden, M. J. Bright, esq M. and J.

M. P. Messrs. Cubden and Blight addressed the meeting in speeches of considerable length, and urged upon the audience the importance and necea-ity of using every exertion to upset and finally overthrow the present ystern, that prohibits the free importation of commodities which form the principal portion of sustenance for the laboring ciuBses. Judging from ths present aspect of affairs, and the wonderful change which seems to have come over the minds of some of the corn-law advocates, there can be no doubt but the days of "agricultural protection," as it ia called, are numbered, und that, ere long, the "sliding scale," corn duties, will be consigned with the things that were.

With regard to the addresses of Messrs. Cobden und Bright, it is enough to say that they were pointed anu convincing in Ri'guuient, pleasing in style, and at times eloquent and humorous. Cotton cotton market, as a reference to our reports will show, continues in a depressed state; there is but little doing; and if prices are not actually lower than at the dejmrture of the lust steamer, they may lie Baid to be in favor of the buyer. The cotton market reflects so faithfully the general feeling of the commercial world, that it mny always be regarded, and in fart is, the beBl index of the nutionnl prosperity or otherwise. A variety of circumstances will account for the depression which prevails: foremost amongst the number, is the appiehcnsion of a general panic, contingent upon the I'curful state of the potato crop; the deficiency or badness of the corn crops; and the absurd pitch to which speculation in rails has been carried.

Other branches of business are suffering more or less from these combined causes; and as the winter approaches, this feeling of alarm, there is too much reason to apprehend, will ratherincrease than abate. The news which came to hand last week by the Cambria, gave no reason to apprehend that the new crop will be much, if any, below that of last year, and it has had no perceptible influence on the trade. Long stapled, it will be seen, is lower than at the sailing of the last steamer; so are Brazils, so is common Egyptian; but the inferior kinds of American have not suffered much the turn of the market is in favor of the buyers. Since Friday, the 1st instant, the business has not improved, and dullness reignB supreme. Speculation has disnpjicared; and in the absence of all activity, the salt during the intervening three days, only amount to about bags.

This stagnant feeling has made itself felt at Havre, where, as our correspondent at that city states, the same kind of lcthargy exists which at present prevails here. Increase in the imports of is highly interesting and satisfactory to learn that the imports of sugar into Great Britain, up to this time, exceed those of 1844 by 24,000 tons, of which 10,700 are rrom me west indies, irom the Mauritius, 4,500 from the East Indies, and 2,000 foreign produced by free labor. The increase in consumption for llie same period of eight months hue been 24,100 tons. Railway the last three months of the present half year, has been received for the conveyance of goods and passengers on the vurious railways now opened in England; the length of which is estimated at about 1,180 miles.

The amount of bullion has again suffered a decline of present aggregate amount in both branches being 14,001,263. Trade in the manufacturing districts shows, in its comparative prostration, the effect of the various causes at which we have hinted in our publication to-day. Nearly all descriptions of produce have received a check; but there is nothing so gloomy ahead, that a speedy and healthy reaction may not take place. The iron trade continues brisk; and masters and men tiro well employed. In the nrico of pig iron a slight decline has taken place.

It is now quoted at 4 15s. in Glasgow. Our market returns will show, nevertheless, that the existing rates are still high and remunerative. IRELAND. The accounts from the sister island, days past, as regards the potato crop, are of very serious and alarming character.

The failure is dreadful in the extreme, and the prospects before the great majority of the lower classes truly horrifying. The authorities ut Dublin Casllc seem have directed their attention to the matter. Commissioners have been employed to visit the different provinces, and to report to his excellency the result of their examination. Up to the present time, these reports art of the most discouraging chaructcr. With a people so steeped in poverty as the Irish are, and discontented with "the powers that lie," it is frightful to contemplate the consequence of scarcity.

The numerous railways likely to be in progress of formation next summer, and during the course of the present winter, will, no doubt, materially assist to alleviate much of the suffering that would otherwise ensue. The agitation for repeal is still carried on. Since the sailing of the last American steamer, a number of monster meetings and repeal banquets have taken place; at all of which the Liberator figured ascommauder-in-chief, and long and eloquent orations made on behalf of the darling object of these politics agitators. The Dublin papers state that the custom-house authorities in that city have been directed to make arrangements for the admission of corn, duty free, 011 and after the 1st of November. "Times Commissioner" continue i his reports from the west of Ireland.

He paints, in forcible colors, the wretchedness of the people, their want of industry, and their unwillingness to expend the leuiit money on the improvement of the land, however much it may repny the outlay. Mr. II mill mokes turn the object of bitter attacks. The potato, tiie famine, and tiie correspondent of the Dublin Muil, calculating that one-third of the potato crop has been destroyed; that six millions of the Irish population are dependent for their existence on this esculent; that the smallest average quantity of oatmeal, the next cheapest food that can be allowed to sustain human life for a day, is one pound to the legitimate conclusion that, supposing oatmeal now selling from 16s. to 17s.

6d. per should, during the dearth, rise no higher than it would take no less a sum than a day, or for lie half year, to sustain the lives of two millions (one-third of the six millions) of the Irish people. As our contemporary well observes, this is a frightful estimate, and the great agitator hus turned the matter in his capacious mind, and has just issued his appeal does the reader thirk? Why, for nothing less than the annual O'Connell tribute. Thin would be incredible if told in a romance; but simple truth beats the most elaborate fiction.

16th. FRANCE. Our advices from Paris are to the 1st inst. The announcement of the resignation of the brave old veteran Soult, appears to be based on truth. At his advanced age, repose and retirement would well befit him, so that the old soldier, like the Roman in the capitol, should be enabled to adjust his mantle before the closing scene of his eventful career.

It is now said, that although he will resign thepost of in ister of War, he will still nominally retain the presi dency of the council. The French telegraph has been busily engaged in transmitting to Paris the state of the war in Algeria. The French forces had left' Oran with 5,000 men in quest of Abd.el Kader; whether they will take or overtake him, is another question. He is said to treat his French prisoners well and handsomely; and, in doing so, he sets an example, which it would have been to the credit of the French arms, had they imitated towards his countrymen. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

October cotton is rather lower than last-week. Egyptian of common quality is more decidedly Id to jd per Brazils slightly; but the great bulk of American qualities remain in price much ns before, the turn of the market being in favor of the buyer. The limited demand, the small amount of our actual transactions, and the almost entire absence of speculation, have, of course, produced their usual effect upon the market generally; and we close as we began the is, with every appearance of quietness, but with no great pressure to sell. The accounts bv the last steamer give us no reason to expect any short-coming in the crop; but, on the contrary, there appears to be every fair ground for supposing that America will produce a fair and abundant ouantitv of cotton. 5,500 American have been taken on speculation, and 150 for export.

Total amount of sales for the week, 18,070 bales. Although the accounts received by the Cambria are generally considered favorable for holders, yet, as the demand continues on a most limited scale, both from the trade and speculators, the market wears a very heavy appearance, and prices of most kinds are 4a. per lb. lower within the last fortnight. Speculators have taken 5,500 American, and exporters 150 American.

Nov. market still keeps dull; prices, however, me maintained with considerable firmness.
