l TWELVE DAYS LATER.-The Great Western arrived at New York the evening of the l6h inst. She left Bristol the 1st and made her passage in l5 days and hours. Her outward trip was made in 12 days and 10 hours.

 The .~--.I.-, d fortnight previously to her sail ing YVES fine and great portion of thecrops had been housed Corn was aperage about l5 per cent. lower that at the time of the previous arrival. In France the prospect of the harvest was good and there was every appearance of an average yield. In the House of Commons on the 18th ult. some enquiries were addressed by Mir. Roebuck to Lord Palmerston relative to the state of affairs between this coontry and England on the Mcleod question. That gentleman replied in substance that Mir Webster Secretary of the present administration, had aban- doned the ground taken by the Van Buren adminis- traton, and had confessed principles entirely in ac- cordance with the international law and the ground assumed by Great Britain. He said:

 "Now, although the first reply of the American go- vernment has been, he thought, entirely wrong as to the principles of international iaw--although he considered that reply to be unsatisfactory-yet he had the satisfaction of bei ing able to inform ihe hou- orabie and learned member from Bath and the House that from the present government of the U. States a communication had been received containing for nal instruction given to the Attorney General of the United States, with reference to the question, which contained doctrines just and consistent with the law | of nations, and perfectly in accordance with the principles upon which her Majesty's government had demanded the release and liberation of Mcleod.

Critten- den, from the positions of which and the admissions therein, his Lorship permitted the House to draw the inference that there immediate danger of hos tties between the two countries. He then quoted extract from the constitution of the United States defining the power of the states and concluded thus

 ''Therefore it was perfectly true that this que could no more be sad to be between Great Britain and the State of New York than eff America had felt herself aggreyed by Great Britain) it could be said that the question was between America and the county of Rutland.

Clear, hear J Therefore, 1t not from any neglect on the part of her Majestys government that this cuorse had not been takeh-on the contrary, had been avoided out of tho respect they were bound pay to the eonst- tuition of the United States. (Hear, hear.)

 Prom these opinions we may take il for granted that the of the present administration has g- entire satisfaction her majesty's ministers, and that war, if that course be persisted in, is likely to ensue. | Parliament assembled on the 18th ut. by commis- sion, when several ministers took the usual oaths, after which Mr. Shaw Lefeyre unanimously e.
