The.Britannia7sailed from Liverpool on the 4th, inst. and we havepapers from that city to tint date, from -London to the - 3d, antlYaris to the Ist, inclusive. , The news Is poky ithportant and interesting to the general reader, but more especially-'the agricultural COmmunity. Annexed will be foimd the most important items. uraeentints, in - a commercial and ft thincial.piiiint Or view; arc more important thairtheyhave been for the last twenty years. A terrible revulsiOn.has commenced in England, greater . than that of 1825, and similar to. that of 1837 in the U. States.— This, reVulsion hag been., produced by the combined influence of a bad harvest all over Etiland arid'Europe, a bad monetary sys lett, and the Unthinking inflation in railway speculations. All stocks, and every staple is going r down- '-except the price of breadstuffs, Which 'the-impending famine enhances and improves. The terrible movement is just in its commencement. The firSt blow has been struck—and in Ireland, the agitator O'P:onitell is already, using it for the pur pose of oppoSition to the union. ' The English Government seeiris to be in:a:state of alarm, and Sir Robert Peel is calling cabinet after cabinet, to 'deliberate on the opdning of the ports, and the best means to,meet impending famine.

Large demands these—will they bd, conceded? A day-or two will solve the question. Every thing proclaims the speedy_ ex tinction of the sliding scale—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 and foretold that the first sea Son of scarcity would fix its doom. Peel is a good actor, his "shivering" is probably simulated, not real. Placed between cross fires, expossd on his flank and his rear, it is necessary'that he should play his pert so as not to ..ppear to give a triumph to ,either party. This he has done—this he is doing. But it is suspected by those who appear to know him best, that his leanings ale toward a liberal confinercialtqn Contra distinction to a monopolist Holley. IRELAND,—The accounts from the sister Island for some clays past, as regards the piitato crop, arc of a very serious and alarming character. The failure is dread ful in the extreme, and the prospects before the great, majority of the lower classci, truly horrifying. The authorities of Dub lin Castle seem to have directed their atten tion to the matter. Commissioners have been employed to visit the different provinces, and to report to his ExCellency the result of their exam ination. tip to the present time these re ports are of the•most discouraging charac ter. With a people so steeped inpoverty as the Trishare, and discontented With "the powers that be," it is frightful to contem plate the consequence of scarcity.

Johnson is nearly 70 years of age, .and estimated to be worth $70,000. • It appears by the evidence already adduced that Johnson had •on a certain occasion criminal intercourse with' Mrs.Boult, and that to hide his guilt she was murdered or abducted. Mr. Burdick being supposed to have knowledge of Johnson's guilt, an attempt was made, • as our readers already know, to get rid of her. .

The Oregon question, it is-obvious in ad advance of the meeting Congress, is to prove a 'most difficult question of adjustment— much more so, indeed, than the Tariff, or anv merely local or national. question.— When the Oregon and Texas Bills were hanging by the eyelids in the last von gress7—the former as bait to the latter, and I the latter to the former, either in -the one or the other of the two houses of Congress, the determination of the Western members then was that both bills should pass togeth er. But Southern diplomacy was more than a .match for Western credulity. The west ern Loco Focos kept their part of the con tract, and the Southern Loco Focos failed in theirs. Texas practically • was and is annexed to the - Unioni while the Oregon question remains precisely where it did a • year since, and just where•it has remained since 1818. But the Western members are now strong in numbers, determined on action, and indignant in feeling. They demand the permanent settlement of din Oregon question, and the extension of,oni territory up to the exact line orrthe R i Assian posses sions.

The jury. • cf1F.,.)0.: 1 . * . - ~'C:.... - The' Pnrivphlrt. Our readirs are probably aware of the existence of a publication familiarly . ktimiit.nw the"M-Kca xis Pamphlet,' which„made its appearance in New York City some months since, to the no little dis may and terror of Certain distinguished leaders, who have ‘.lmanaged" matters for the Democracy of iiiat State and the Union during the last fifteen or twenty years.. The publication, as will be re membered, was made by a Wx. L. MlCaszrs, lately an Officer in the N. Y. Custom-house. and embraced the private Correspondence of Messrs. Van Buren, Wright, Butler, Flagg, and others, with theiEpuppc4, Jesse Hoyt. who "worked the wires" for them in the city of New York. So astound ing were.these developements of wholesale moral and political corruption, and so grOss the infamy which necessarily theretipon attached to individuals who had previously - enjoyed a high reputation for honesty and integrity of character, that for the mo• ment the community in which they were made re coiled in - disgust from the revol ing picture, and doubled the genuineness of Ow letters. SubLequenr developements, host eser, proved thrm to be too 'sadly true, and an effort u;l3' made by the tr rends of the individuals implicated, to remedy the evil, by procuring an injunctolt from Chancery tor the suppression of their further publication. It was darkly ,binted in i-eteral rmirters, at the time, that the-whole publication had been made . with the knowledge and approbation of the Adminv tra?ton at Washington—the object of Mr. Polk and his friends being to break and destroy the influent: of thti famous "Albany Rigeney !" Late revela tions, strange as it may seem, confirm these in sinuations. In the appointment of Collector for the Port of New York, two candidates were pre sented to :11r. Polk, NI e, , srs. Codding!on aria Law ience—he former being warmly urged by Messrs. Van Buren, Wright, Butler, and others. Not with standing this strong "backing, - Coddington ,wze defeated, and. Mr. Lawienee recei% ed the appoint ment. The result ast,nished "knowing ones not a little, who tho-ght it argued poorly f r or the influ ence of the "Old Hunkers" with the new Resident, and various were the conjectures as to the sotqce of the secret influence thus brought to bear so ef fectually against them. The intelligent and usu ally gtfartled New York Correspondent of the Na tional Intelligencer unravels the mystery as "A short time before the printing of Mac- Kenzie's pamplet, a friend of the Adminis tration accidentally discovered that such, a publication was preparingfor thopress. He 4 , .sts, informed, also, of the characters of the letters that would appear. This gen tleman had an interview .with MacKenzie, in the course of which he stated that if the letters, were such as represented, and cop ies Were furnished him, he could defeat the appointment of' boomNoTos. The letters were produced, copies were furnished,•and the gentleman thus named proceeded . to, 'Washington. These documents were first exhibited to Mr. WALKER, See ietary of the Treasury; then to Mr. PoLx, who, up on reading them, exelaiiried, , i 1" will not appoint Coddington but aman of MY owri." We are curious to see what effect this fillip lar disclosure will have upon the parties involved, and shall anxiously await the result. Rich scenes may be anticipated from these family jars of the great "Democracy."., Gen. Winfield Scott. "OLD Clue" is rapidly winning his way to the favor and aflection, so well merited, at the hands of his countrymen, by his gallant and honorable deeds in their behalf. The Harrjsburg Telegraph re marks that "the spirit of the People is arisidg,'and before 1.845, the popular feeling will be more in tense and governed by a better spirit than it was for the Hero of New Orleans, in 1.5:28. Gen. Scott, the Hero, Scholar and Statesman, will as surely be the next President of the United States, as the 4th of March, MO, is to find us a free Republic. Let the worshippers of the rising sun think of this, and remember That the People have resolved not to be cheated again."
