      "By fee arrival on Tuesday of the Great Western YtesB-shrp , Lieutenant James Hosken , B . N ., CoamaBder , st Bristol , in fifteen days from Sew Uwk , wehaTe received United States' Jonrnals ef - * be 25 th alt . inclusive . The Great Weslern was advertised to sail for England oa the 23 rd , aod her feeing detained two days longer , accounts for her aies-zniral at the time appointed . She made the -cotward passage in nineteen days , having had , for a . great part of the voyaje , adverse winds and a strong JDorrent to contend against .

      Tbe disputes which have arisen between the Gtrteroora of New Brunswick and the State of Jfahte , on the North-eastern Boundary question , ^ exclusively occupy the attention of the New York Papers . They are becoming very serious ; and -without the observance of a degree of forbearance ¦ on both sides , difficult to expect from men whose -passions are in a high state of fermentation , threaten eventually toinvelve England and the United States in all the calamities ¦ of actual war . A collision lias actually taken place between the people rif Maine xnd New Brunswick , of a nature to call for the interference of Conaress . As the detail * of the question are not familiar to English readers generally , ¦ We shall endeavour to give an o . diue of them in a tew sentences .

      By matBal agreement a considerable part of the terriiory in dispute between England and the XTnited State . « , has been allowed to remain under £ h * exclusive jurisdiction of England , till the final -settkaient of the boundary line . Upon this territory a party of British lumberers were engaged for arrctal months , in the coocse of last year , felling timber . This being communicated to the Governor « f Maine , his Excellency addressed a secret mes-« age to tbe Legislature » f that State on the 231 of January last , recommending the passing of a Re-« olotioa empowering the land-agent of Maine to proceed to the Aroostook river at the bead of a suffi-< aest force to disperse the British " trespassers

      extensively engaged in devastating and plundering liads belo ' n ^ iog to the State of Maise . " Thk message proving extremely acceptable to some warlike spirits in the legislature , a resolution was passed tbe following day , authorising the land-agent at the head of . a military force , to " arrest and irojriwn" all trespasser !); to seize and dispose of their teams , lumber , and hewn timber , and Toting ten thousand dollars to defray the expense of the expedition . Armed with this authority , and accompanied by a party , to the number of about two hundred volunteers , with a six psunder , the laad-agent proceeded to the Aroostook river to drive uR the British . At first they attempted to resist ,

      but being unarmed , they were compelled to make the best of their way ' to 'Woodstock . The Americans made pr isoners of twenty , and lodged them in the Dearest prison . In the meantime , the British lamierere finding no chance of immediate redress from their own Government , broke open the arsenal « t"Woodstock , and arming themselves with 120 sttad « rf rifles , 40 carbines , four kegs of powder , and 2 , 800 rounds of ball cartridges , sallied forth in their tarn to recover their property , and expel the in-Tadera of the Briiisa seil . Tbe Laad-ageat-tf tbe State of Maine finding the business more serious ihxa he had expected , proposed an interview with the laoad-ageat of New Brunswick , far the effecting of m compromise . This was agreed to , but on ^ his way to ike place of meeting he fell into the hand * of

      * party of lumberers , who made him a prisoner . A similar fate al * o befel the Brunswick Landmgeat , who was captured by the volunteers of tie State of Maiae . These details being borne in mind , the official documents of the Governors « f "Maiitf , and New Brunswick will be easil y underwood . It ia manifest , from this simple view . of tbe question , that the Governor of Maine ia tbe aggressor sai that he can have no other object than to provoke a war between two countries whose iwrtnal interest it is to maintain with each other the asest frieadij relations . By obtaining for his ojth r * sb design the consent of tbe Legislature of one of £ ke States of the Union , he has contrived to change ^ kral into a national broil , and so far seriousl y compromised the neutrality of C » ngrees .

      "We hare no news of much interest from the Caua-* & * & . , Ho further outrages had been committed , but ^ an laiptds&km prevailed that tbe rebels were at the bottom of the aggressions undertaken by the State of Maine .

      FACT » aY SYSTEM . The adjourned debate on this subject was resumed > y Dr . Taylob , who said that having of late years iad . mncb to do with the working classes of Scotland , and been particularly interested in the inquiry as to the best means of strengthening the hands of Lord Ashley in bis efforts for a Short Time Bill , he could add hii testimony to that of Dr . Macdouall , and pledge his reputation as a medical man to the trathof the dreadful effects which the fyitem eave rise to .

      Mr . Saxkey corroborated all that had been said . He had been residing ia Lancashire for a considerable period , and his after inquiries in Scotland only served to shew him more fully the evils of the system . . Mr . Marsbeit rose to support the views of Dr . Mscdouall , the more so as he knew from sad experience that the system was increasing in a fearful degree , notwithstanding the threats of foreigners , that they were abont to take our trade from ns . Mr . Mareden went into ihe minutiie of the question in a manner to show hig complete knowledge ef the subject , and the vile political prostitution to which it gare rue . Mr . O'Conh o * , in a long and eloquent speech , pleaded the cause of the oppressed , and pointed out the , danger of delay in the impossibility of keeping tbe country quiet . r * Mr .

      THE CONVENTION . We have only given a few beads of Br . M'Doualx ' s extraordinary address , in bringing forward tbe question of the factory system , but we shall give it at length next week ; and for this simple reason , that , as Mr . O'Connok remarked , it Was the most lucid and masterly display which bad ever been given on such a subject . For two bours Dr . M'Douall rivetted the attention of the Convention , and supplied a mass of information of the mo « t important kind , in a manner which , for knowledge of tbe question , propriety of diction , or eloquence of language , ( and this without the least attempt at eloquence , ) which has seldom been equalled .,

      The speech should be printed in letters of gold for its value , and in letters of blood for the sbame of the system it denounced ; it should be in the hands of every one ; it should be bung up in . every house ; it should be published in every paper ; it should he kept constantly before the country until tbe whole system be overturned . If the Convention had done nothing else , the production of such a document would entitle it to the gratitude of the country ; and we hesitate not to say that in point of real importance , all that has yet been brought forward sinks into utter insignificance before this motion , aBd we shall take oare that it be not lost to the country .

      ANOTHER RADICAL DEMONSTRATION AT KNARESBOROUGH . ( T On Thursday night vreeV , a large and respectable assembly of people were cunvc&ed togettur , in the Old Assembly Room , Savage Yard , Knaresboro ' , in cosaequeuca ol an aunutinceiueDi that Mr . Petsr Basse / , from . Bradford , a delegute of the General Convention , Londo * , wouldaddrvts th * meeting . The doors werv thrown open at hall-past six , and the levin was soon tilled . Mr . John Joy was unanimousl y called to the chair . He opened the business of U » e meeting in a ehoubut appropriate addrce * , assuring the meeting that allwlio bad anything to say , shtuld have an impartial hearing ; after which he called on Mr . Peter Buuey to addre ** the meeting .

      Kf . isi'SSEY then cams forward and said , working men ol Kaaretbru ' , 1 am delegated to come here on the ' Kuent occasion , by the People ' s Parliament . My bunintas uto explain the princijiles ut ihe l ' wpta ' s Chartw , and to propagate und spread far and wide those princi ples . ( Cheers . ) He then proceeded to lay before them the instructions he had received at the Convention ; and said it was his duty to go to thoBe places where the just and salutary principles of that Charter were C ( , mparati \ ely unknown , aijd thus to instruct them not only to understand their rights , bnt also topoint out to them by what means they mi ght attain those rights . ( Htar . ) Iv wm thought , when the Keform Bill of IS . ** was passed , that that measure wouM be instrumental in securing for the people theirjiut rights , that it would restore peace to ihe people , and remove the causes of our misery ; but basely had we been deceived ! ( Cheers . ) The Whi gs ( base * t of men i held out proiiiises to mislead thn people ; prior to their accepting office , promises were heaped on promises ; ho would auk how

      have ttu-y perftru . ed them ? Pledges ianunierable were taken—how have they redeemed tUoso pledu « ? Tuxea were to be Trduo-d ; theyhaTe increased them H Bad laws were to be abolished , but a most frightful augmentation el ol the worst laws imcginable has been th « result ! Ho conunded that so long as we are governed by class legislationso long as the cause of our evils remain untouched—so long as the lew ure to govern the many , so long will the people bo deprived of their rights , and they will have to groan beneath oppression , misrule , and a host of the most fearful evil » . ( Great cheering . ) The speaker then proceeded to say if it could be proved vhat one class of men had a right tp enslave auutber , they should then cease to argue the tubjaet with them ; but ha Jtlied authority to prove that they had such a right ? It we * an infringement on their tights , aud resuon , justice , law , and constitution , all concurred in proving it such . ( Hear , hear . ) He would ask by what means have onr ( jovernurs acquired the power to enslave ysu and rob yoo hi ¦

      jour rigAta .- ibe reason u obvious , you are divuiej ! ( Hrar . ) Yuur enemies glory in feeing you divided , and be assured tiiat so long as you remaifc divided , and eimuied of one another , tbe common foe will always be successful iu enslaving yon . ( Cheers . ) Our enemies tell us that we are revolutionists ; but let them know that we are the Constitutional Reformers . ( Hear . ) The agitation that now exisu through every part ol this once happy country is occasioned by dire want ; muery stalks through our streets ; our workpeople , proverLia . fur their industry , are naked , while all kmds of warehouses are ( T . immed with goods . ( Cheers ) The God of Nature has provided bountifull y [ or a \\ Jiis creature * , while thousands el Ksg : ishmen and finglishwemen are dying for want . ( Cheers . ) And what can stop this uiighty , this simultaneous movement of the people ? Nothing but an eflVctaal remedy for the evils they have bom *; this and this alone can still the tempest which thn-atena ihe niter destruction or all that oppose it . ( Great chetrinif . l Onr

      demands are reasonable . ( Criei « f "They are . ") Are Government prepared to grant thwe demands ? Are they prepared to acknowledge the rights of Englishmen , or are they not ? The tiraB will s son arrive when We shall know who are prepared thus to ackowled go th » m . ( Hear . ) Bat be would ask nhy are the majority denied the Suffrage ? Our enemies have ceased to dispute your ri ghts—but you axe told ; en are tno ignorant . Who ha * been the mom of ?« or ignorance ? Vr ho bot ihe ruling powers who hare made Wws to compel you to be ignorant ? ( Hear , hear . ) The speaker then pntceeded to cupposa a case ; he said if six men , 'Who did not possess the franchise , were to go to one wbo did « bu reason with him about their ignorance , and centfnd t&at they were also too ignorant to pay t » x * s—that the nfraachised person wbo possesses all the knowled ge ^ ought , a * & matter of course to pay all the taxe * , that sooner thtQ ( he enfranchised individual woold pay all the takes , bt ( Mt > Buiseyj thuught he would grant that all the ignorance of the

      poor man had vanished . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Mr , fitasc * then proceeded to say , that atter all , this was a most wrioda subject ; he . had beea in London , and there he had witnCMod . > raca seine * as could not fail to horrify the stranger ; in oati street h * bad seen a poor wretct , naked and hungry —« nnk in the veriest depth of poverty—hit existence the msst miserable—no home to Br to—ne friends with whom he could symp athize—willing to labour , but he could procure none . ( Hear , hear , and « h » me . ) In the same strret he had seen the rich pauper rolling in hi * carriage , attended by his train of servant * . He u rich—immensely rich—so rich that he knows not how to expend his mouey ; his food and drink of the most luxoriant description , and clothed in the finest « f linen and mo « t costly raiment ; bnt yet though he h « immenaeJj rich , still he is insatiate . He stoops to b « a pauper , and roD « his starving and impoverished ffHow-countrymen ot tens of thousands annually . ( Shame , shame , and great emotion . ) la that firange place—that sink of vice and

      iuiooitv—BuDopsKt—Churches Tear their towering spire * at every strert end . And can such misery exist occasioned by vicious legi-rtation in a Christian land—in the midst of Christian Bishops and Christian Clergy ? ( Hear , hear . ) The poor spitaloeld wearers too , to miserable u their condition , that they uaveaitoaUy to work on Sundays to prevent starvation ( Cries of " shaae , ahawe . " ) The spemker then proewided to relate a very feeling snecdote of an individual in London , who from starvation attempted to -cut his throat , and all this overlooked by our Legislature . He then proceeded to show that distress existed in Yorkshire and Lancashire , u well us m London ; and theft asked whst was tbe cause of soch distress ? England was sunk and men deprived of their rights ; and surely now it w » a high time to be on tbe alert—to enquire the cause ^ and demand tha t those ea . nsrs should be removed . ( Hrar . ) They who have deprived you ef your rights , have acted unconsnhitioDally ; and the present kinistrf and Lori John B « as « ll know full well , that they have asted miron » ii .

      tuuonallv . ( Hear . ) He then told his aodione * that Lord John hadoaee written a book ou the Cowtitntkm ; to that book he denounced as unconstitutional , acts which he has fsr « c * ed > . d in atrocity . ( Hear . ) But < mr preseat Ministry make the Coustitution either something or nothing . { Hear 1 He would ask where are we to fiad the CcmstitwonV if we we trace back the History of Kngland to the time of tbe Anglo Saxons , we fi » d Univers » l Suffrage th * base or the Constitution . ( Cheers . ) He thnn proceeded to say that Whig Reformers talk of Revelations „ gloriousbut should the poor Chartist happen unluckily to tpesk on the subject , he is denounced as a leveller , a fire-orand , an incendiary , or a madman ; thus it appears quite evident that the extent of Whig hypocruy is abounded ; - ( che « rs , > -but why , he would ask , are there sa many sonnies about arminK ? Did » ot the Barons of John , meet him with arms ? And why did they meet him with arms ?

How are we to secure that justice which according to the principles o « Constitution ought neither to be bought nor sold ? Hare we not had proof that justic * it proportioned to the length ot onr p « rs « ? ( Great cheering . ) Have we not petitioned over and over for redress of gneranees , and our petitions have bean uniformly treated with contempt ? ( Cheere . J We » ow demand our rights , and we contend that in m > doing w « are acting quite consistent with the principles of our Constitution . We not only demand onr rights , bnt wtsay organise ana arm . We do not tell you to riolate the law by using these arms in an illegal manner—use them not ; bat be prepared to defend the Constitution and the Law , should ysur enemies attempt to ywUte them . ( Cheers . ) The speaker then proceeded to draw a comparison between tbe moral fere * ot the Whigs and the j . hysic . 1 force of the Chartists : htf-e ^ umersW oristoi several

On the 10 th of December last , which was on a Monday , he set off with Miss Hob . « on , a relative of his , in a phaeton , from Kirkstall to Leeds . There was a very quiet pony in the phffiton , which had frequently been driven by Mm without accident . When they arrived at Bnrley , and wero passing by a black raaitn Bshop in an adjoining lane , they were followed bja vehicle , jwhich was driven at very rapid rate . lheBony became alarmed when the carnage was just behind it ; and the defendant , who was driving it , mjttead of pulhnir the horses ud ewitlv . wfcinn » a

      them severely . The pony ultimately ran away , ' and the deceased was not able to pnll it np . The prisoner kept whipping on , and endeavoured to pass the deceased ' s vehicle , by which it caught the step of the gig , and both Mus Hobson and Mr . Hodgson were violently thrown oat . The prisoner drove his vehicle over the thigh of Mr . Hodgson , which ended us lock-jaw , which produced death . Mr . Dunoas for the defendant , contended that the slightest injuries in some cases caused lock-jaw , and that the Jury ought to be cautious in declaring that the wound on the thigh produced that result , lliem was no proof of any wilful or felonious act , and that being the case , they ought to return a verdtct fof the . prwoner . Two witnes « e « having been called as to character , tae Jurj returned a verdict of Not Guilty .

York Corn Market , March 9 th . —Our readers will be surprised at the very sudden changes which almost weekly occur in this Corn market ; one of which we must again report to-day , and which

      is principally owing to the arrival of a large quantity of Wiatat at Hull , Liverpool , &c , from abroad . The firmness apparent during the last fortnight has totally disappeared ; aud although we have scarcely a sample of Wheat offering , yet our millers being able to purchase at much lower terms elsewhere , causes a very great dullness in the trade , and we reduce our quotations on all sorts fully 2 s . to 3 s . per quarter .

      HUDDKRSFJELD CLOTH MARKET , TUESDAY , March 12 . —Tkis market assumed a brisker aspect to-day than it has done for several weeks past , as many sales were made , and a greater demand for fancy goods also .

Hull Corn Market , March 12 . —The large arrivals of Wheat from abroad the last ten days

      caused a good show of samples on the stands . Of Wheat by the farmers the supply was limited . A reduction of 3 s . per sack on Flour , as w « ll »« 3 s . to 4 s . per quarter on Wheat in Mark Lane and other principal markets produced a similar effect here , and sales proceeded slowly at 3 s . to 4 s . per quarter under the rates of this day week .
