The American advices are so fully given in another column, that we need only remark that they have atibrded considera ble satisfaction. There had been some changes in the Government at Montreal, but not of prominent importance. We understand that another quick arrival of a cargo of Pine appleS, by the Lady Coiling, from the • West Indies in tbeing a further proof of the place, being employed in bringing superior 'six day build hasor vessels la taken cargoes of a perishable nature to this country, which with any win d o f a favourable character compe,e even with steam navigation.

By the arrival of the Great Western steam-ship at Liverpool, we have received the gratifying and important intelligence that the Oregon treaty, on the 18th of June, received the sanction of the Senate by a majority of forty-one to fourteen. All further conjectures as to the upshot of this eccentric squabble between Great Britain and the United States are consequently prevented from this moment. With the tocsin of Mexican warfare still ringing in their ears, the Legislative Council of the Presidency, to whom the settlement of this delicate question had been trans ferred, has breathed towards the mother country co thing but sentiments the most pacific, and has altogether conducted itself in a manner the most conciliatory. Nor, be it remembered, are these concessions to the demands of our Government the fruits of diplomatic chicanery—they are not the con sequences of any adroit or specious proposition. Tilt sophistries which are usually summoned to the as sistance of the plenipotentiary have in this instance been neglected, and a strange cand.ur (which in mane respects is without a precedent) has been adopt-d by the representatives of both empires Much as certain individuals across the Atlantic had become infected with a belligerent spirit, wordy as were their invectives upon their British progenitors, extor tionate as were their demands in reference to the colonisation of the Oregon and the navigation of the Columbia—every sentiment is merged into meekness, and all obstacles have given way to acquiescence upon the first sounding of the artillery in Mexico. It is impossible, indeed, to remark the coincident informa tion contained in our last packet from America, namely, that the total amount of funds estimated by the Secretary of War as necessary for the prosecution of the contest with Mexico, from May, 1846, to June, 1847, is somewhere about 19,971,472 dollars—and (here is the coincidence !) that simultaneously with the receipt of this intelligence, we are informed of the arrival in England of the Oregon treaty, as ratified by the Senate of the United States, that document having been conveyed hither under the safeguard of General ARMSTRONG, American Consul at Liverpool. Any comment upon this casualty of occurrence would be wholly super fluous ; but it may not be considered so entirely superfluous to utter one incidental observa tion upon the behaviour of the English Government when the American outbreak with Mexico was first announced. Instead of seizing that remarkable op portunity for the precipitation of extortionate demands upon the territories of the Oregon—instead of availing herself of the movement when the rival claimant of those colonies was just precipitated into all the embarrassments of a war with adjacent states, and of insisting upon an instant compliance with an immode rate requisition at the juncture when the Presidency was but ill prepared to engage in a double struggle,—the most reasonable propositions are, on the contrary, submitted to the consideration of the National Magistrate, Mr. Poex. This moderation on the part of Great Britain—and especially when there were absolute lures to aggran disement—will not be forgotten very speedily by the nations of the globe. In that ungrasping offer of bringing matters to an amicable settlement, and in the dignity and resolution with which that offer was tendered, the other empires and principalities of the earth will recognise the probity, the power, and the peacefulness of the national spirit in England. They will perceive that the old feudal crusades, fin the mere extension of dominion, are regarded by us v‘ith abhorrent contempt, and that authority and political vigour cannot, now-a-days, excite any ad ministration of these islands to encroach upon the rights or to avail itself of the dilemmas of another nati.n. Despite the hostile tetnperati.ent of Mr. President POLK himself, and the pugnacious oratory of Mr. QUIN CY ADAMS and his compatriots, a more humanising spirit has prevailed. By the wisdom and ' moderation of her MAJESTY'S Councils, by the pa tient, but at the same time unflinching posture of the late Secretary for Foreign Affairs, the Earl of ABERDEEN, and through the good temper by which Mr. PAKEN HAM'S movements have been regulated throughout this protracted correspondence, the difficult problem of the Oregon question has been conducted to the present satisfactory issue. The sword of our empire has still re mained in its scabbard, and England has thereby conquered the prejudices of the American Legisla ture. British moderation will prove more salutary, as an example to other empires, than any warlike conquest. It is . with the deepest regret we find that it is the intention of Mr. O'CONNELL to oppose the re-election of Mr. REDINGTON, for Dundalk, and that he has started his son Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL, jun., as a candidate for the suffrages of that constituency. We had hoped that greater attention would have been paid to the temperate and prudent recommenda tion contained in the admirable letter of the Earl of MILLTow2I, and that a fair trial would have been afforded to a Ministry who have made the fairest promises as to their intentions with respect to Ireland, and who have even, to the fullest extent, acted up to their lifieral professions. The Irish people should recollect that the occasion which has caused the formation of the new Government was the defeat of a " measure of coercion and severity to wards their country. They have ever been supposed to be a generous and a grateful people; and should they succeed in excluding from the House of Com mons a gentleman of respectability, character, and talent, who has proved himself on all occasions a most valuable and useful representative, and who has devoted his energies to questions of the gravest importance and the deepest interest to his coun try men, and that, too, on a vacancy occasioned by the succes-i of the opposition to a measure so dis tasteful to the Irish people as the Coercion Bill, they would expose themselves to a weighty charge of the deepest ingratitude. The selection of Mr. REDINGTON as Under-Secretary for Ireland was highly complimentary to the people of that country, and afforded the strongest proof of the sincerity of the Ministry in their professions, and their anxious desire for the better governance of the country. Mr. IZEDINGrom has acquired a profound knowledge on that most pressing o f a ll Irish questions, the relationship of landlord and tenant. He was one of the Commissioners selected to inquire into the state of the law and practice in respect to the occupation of land, from which Commission emanated the most valuable recom mendations, measures founded on some of which have already been introduced to the Legislature, with the unanimous approbation of the House and the country ; and it may fairly be presumed that the remainder of those recommenda tions, including a provision for the reclaiming of the waste lands in that country, will be speedily brought forward under the auspices of the man who joined therein, and who had, in the course of his inquiries, obtained information from persons of every class and condition of life. Mr. O'CONNELL has been loud in his complaints because Ireland is not governed by the Irish. Can he not see that such a line of conduct is eminently calculated to defeat such a result ? If, the moment an Irishman is selected for a responsible situation in the executive administration of the affairs of his native land, his re-election is to be opposed, and he is to be excluded from the Legislature because he happens to differ_.from Mr. O'CONNELL on one question, and one only, is it not practically compelling ,the Government to selec' person: , representing Eng lish coubtituacio fog ouch of ? himself, in his speech at the repeal banquet at Dun- i dalk, bore the most honourable testimony to the cha racter and qualifications of Mr. REDINGTON. He said, "I should be untrue in fact, and unjust in detail, if I said one word derogatory to Mr. REDINGTON. say he is a gentleman—a Christian gentleman— a gentleman of faith—a gentleman of vir tue. He is a gentleman of 'great value— one of the first gentlemen in the country." And in the course of his speech, he admitted, that "if any man could be accepted as their representative who had but one fault, it was Mr. REDINGTON ;" and, also, that "if his son was in the majority, and the last vote was polled, that he would use the influence which he possessed over his son, and withdraw him from the contest, ifMr.REDINGTON would declare him self a repealer." Here, then, we have the most entire approval of all Mr. REDINGTON'S political views, save on one question, which its warmest advocates mud admit to be quite impracticable, at least during the continuance of the present Parliament. That the proceeding did not meet with the cordial concur rence of the repealers themselves, may be gathered from the fact, that not a single Roman Catho lic clergyman connected with the town of Dundalk was present at the entertainment; and also from the short but very expressive letter of the Rev. Mr. COYNE, the parish priest of the town, 'ho expresed his strongest disapprobation of the time, the manner, and the object of brivging young Mr. O'CONNELL to the town under existing circumstances. We admit the natural desire that must be felt by Mr. O'CONNELL to have his youngest and favourite son in Parliament, but we have ever believe] and still believe him to be too sincere a pa triot to injure his country for any personal con sideration ; besides, he will doubtless ere long have many opportunities of gratifying that desire. The present Parliament cannot exist much longer ; it must speedily be dissolved by the efflux of time. Mr. D. O'CONNELL, jun., is still very young, and another year in private life cannot be disadvantageous to him. We will still hope for a wiser determination and that a contest for Dundalk will not present a con-' crest to the almost unanimous approbation with which the members of the new Ministry have been received by their constituents. Letters from Warsaw of the 28th ult. state that several of the inha:Jitants of that city have had their property confiscated for taking part in the recent political movement, and that many have in addition been exiled to the mines of Siberia. From Cracow we learn that M. WENDA, a landed proprietor, who took part in the late insurrection, and was given up by Prussia to the Russian authorities, has been sen tenced at Randon to transportation to Siberia, with previous exposure to two hours in the pillory. The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE arrived at Elsineur on the 20th ult., on board the IngermarAnland. The next day he landed at Copenhagen and paid his re spects to the King of DENMARK, and on the follow ing day he sailed for St. Petersburgh. The Pore has appointed the Abbe GRAZIOSI as his private secretary. The Abbe was formerly his tutor. His Holiness has conferred the order of St. Gregory on Professor BETTI, Secretary of the Academy of St. Luc, and author of Italia Ilbtstre. His Holiness is exceedingly popular. At Sinigaglia, his birth-place, in the midst of the demonstrations of joy which his elevation has called forth, a society has been formed to raise a statue to him, and to restore an ancient aqueduct for furnishing water to the town, to be called Acquapia, in allusion to his name of Pius. The subscription already amounts to 80,000 scudi. The Madrid mail, of the 4th had not reached Paris at the hour the post left on Thursday. We have received the Paris pipers of Thursday. The circular of M. DUCHATEL, the Minister of the Interior, which we published yesterday, on the subject of the approaching elections, is commented on in all of them. The Ministerial journals, the Debuts and the Epoque, extol it, of course, as the p.rtection of wisdom. The Presse, which is by no means an un deviating supporter of the Soult-Guizot Ministry speaks of it in the following terms:— We can only give our entire apprt.bation to the publica tion of this circtair. Parties may discuss the principles upon which it is based, but they cannot c•.utest the tranL•- ness with which they are set forth. 'nit., in our eyes. is what recommends i!, and gives to i• the importaw:e of a truly praiseworthy act of the Government." The Conalitutionnel, of course, finds fault with the acts of the Ministry in general, and of M. GulzoT in particular, while M. THIEHS isrepresented as the beau ideal of a perfect constitutional state-man. The Na tional is furious, and the Courrier FrangaiB denounces the circular as a useless falsehood and a gross insult to the good sense of the country. It was reported on the Bourse on Wednesday, that a portion of the Great NOrthern Railroad, which crosses a bog between Douay and Arras, had given way durirg the passage of a train over it, and that eleven persons had been killed and several wounded.

The election of a Member for the borough of Hertford, to fill the seat vacated by the Hon. Mr. Cowper, he having ac cepted the office of one of the Loris of the Admiralty under the new Administration, took place .this morning, in the Town-hall of fiertforti, at the unusual hour of eight o'clock. There was no opposition, and the lime Hon. Gentleman passed through the ordeal of a re-election in the customary manner. The MAYOR (Joseph Lawrence, Esq.) presided on the occa sion, and stated that he had calicd the electors together earlier than usual, because he was anxions that there should be no obstruction to the business of the assizes, which they were aware was carried on in the hall they were re•alpi int lie need not remind them that the Hon. Mr. Cow per, having accepted the office of one of the Lords of the kimiralty, had ceased to become their represen tative in the House of Commons, and they had met together to elect another Meint , er. He trusted their proceeding would be characteri- ed with their former propriety and decorum, and having said thus much, it frily remained for. him to ask any elector if he had any candidate to nominate. Mr. MANSER then slapped forward, and in a short address proposed the Hon.• Mr. Co w p er , w h o , h e sa id, - had always sill - ported their interests and the interests of tile borough, and had never betrayed the trust. which his brother electors had on fair successive occasions reposed in him.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. J. J. GRIPPER seconded the nomination, and in doing so said he concurred in what had fallen from the gentlemat: who preceded him. The MAYOR asked if there was any elector present who had any other candidate to propose? No answer being given to this inquiry, the Mayor put the motion to the vote, and it was carried without a single hanu being held up against it. The MAYoR then declared that the Right Hon. William Cowper had been duly elected to serve as the representative of the borough of Hertford in the House of Commons. The Right Hon. GENTLEMAN then stepped forward, but the slight applause which greeted him was restrained b) the Mayor, who remarked that the judges were under th, same roof, and it would therefore be better that they should retrain from cheering.—(Hear, hear.) - - Mr. COWPER said this was the fifth time the elector: had done him the honour of returning him for then representative in Parliament, and he must con fess, that while he felt •deeply grateful for the con fidence they had so long reposed in his integrity and conduc he was no less sensible of the magnitude and importance ut the task he was again undertaking.--( Hear.) He would, never theless, assure them that they need be under no apprehension that his being in office under Lord J. Russell's Administration would make him the less watchful of their interests in th, House of Commons, for he was convinced his character of servant to her Majesty was in no way incompatible with that of a representative of the people.—(Hear, hear.) 11, must now congratulate them upon the triumph of those. , liberal, principles for which they and the constituencies of England had been so long struggling.— (Hear, hear.) It was a great victory on the part of the people over monopoly, and he for one looked upon it as the commencement of a liberal and enlightened policy, which. would result in still greater triumphs, and tend still further to advance the happiness, prosperity, and welfare, not only if this nation, but of the whole world.—(Hear, hear.) He was sensible of the fact that his vote upon the May nooth questn.n had given offence to some few of his consti tuents, but he was convinced if those who were dissattstieii with his vote would examine, calmly and dispassionately, the Christian spirit in which that measure of conces sion was dictated, they would find in the eni. that he had ac , ,eit for the best in supporting tt, Maytiooth :sill.—(llear, hear.) Again thanking them fia the honour they bad done him, he had only to add that him hoped they would never have cause to regret the confidence they had reposed in him.—(Cheers.) A vote of thanks was carried to the Chairman, and the pro - ceedings, which occupied little more than half an hour, ter minated. [We beg to zeturn our sincere thanks to Mr. Rooney the authorities of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, for the facilities which they affbrtled to our reporter, in getting to,and..from Hertford ; and fur their kindness' in offeting ,to send up .. the . report, , slip by slip, per electric telegraph, an offer of which we did not av:u ourselves, as there was ample time to express up the report.

HEATH OF WILLIAM TYRINGHAM PRAED, ESQ., —We have to announce the demise of Mr. Praed, M.P. for St. Ives, Cornwall, who expired on Wednesday evening, at his residence in St. James's-place, aged 65. He was the son of the late William Praed, Esq., of Tyringham, Bucks, and was born in 1780. He was first returned for the borough in 1838. At the general election, in 1841, there was a severe contest for the representation, Mr. Praed succeeding only by a majority of four votes. The deceased was a partner in the banking firm of Praed and Co., and possessed considerable property in Cornwall, and we believe also in Bucks. He was a Conservative in politics, and when elected, in 1841, an nounced himself a Protectionist. THE TAUNTON ELECTION AND " THE SUN" NEWS PAPER.—The untiring energy which has placed the evening Sun at the head of all its immediate rivals for the public support was again evinced yesterday in the instance of the Taunton election, a report of which, to the extentof upwards of a column, appeared in the third edition of The Sun, pub lished soon after seven o'clock last night. The proceedings, which resulted in the unopposed return of Mr. Labouchere, were not terminated before noon. The reporter hadlhen to get to the station, travel a distance of 163 miles to Padding ton, proceed from thence to The Sun office, in the Strand, and hand the report to the compositors in slips as fast as he could transcribe it from his notes. It must then have been set up, corrected, aril machined before the finished work could be placed in the hands of subscribers; and yet this gigantic task, which requires for its performance such a wonderful combination of means and intellect, is only a part of the or dinary business almost daily transacted by the conductors of The Sun.

' This property, which has had considerable publicity given to it by Mr. George Robins in consequence ot its antiquity, and the fame that has now descended through very many izenerations, came off (to use a sporting teem) yesterday at the Mart ; and as the value of land has been a disputed point, and the agriculturists have been in a state approaching a panic, it is due to them to give the result of this certain mode of of ascertaining the worth of an opinion formed upon such an erroneous basis : and first as to this far-famed property. The ahnev, which is decidedly the tinust monastery throughout England, and its outward foam and character quite un approachable, is in great need of a large outlay within ; but no man of good taste will deny this sacrifice with a view to restore it to its pristine state. The description of the abbey, with an historical account appended, is got up marvellously well in the printed particulars, by a talented lady—(it is whispered to be the handiwork of a Mrs. Allen, a relation of the late t osses.sor, Mr. Gwvnne). This traces the origin of this splendid building (with a 300-feet frontage) to the time if Witham the Conqueror, and the perusal ot it must delight ,11 these who value, and are deeply read in, antiquity. The Goblin tapestry, which adorns the interior, and is estimated at 10,000/., or 20,0001., is not included, but is to be sold with the collection ti Dutch and Flemish pictures, at the approach ing sale, next month. The tapestry can hardly be sufficiently appreciated : it is quite matchless. Tee demesne ot Ford Abbey extends to 1,150 acres, in farms, beautifti.ly niversified by hill and dale, cascades and waterfalls. The farms are let, and those in perspective \ve will enumerate, in order to judge impartially of the re-.ult. Thus it is— The farms let at • £1,385 Th. abbey (unlet), gardens, and 80 acres of woodland, estimated at , .. The reversion to lands out ou lease, 80 acres Supposed value per annum £1.875 .A total of 1,8751. a year is thus Chown, although only 1,3851. ;s the present receipt. The result will be better shown and ppreciated by the following calculation. The actual rental, aken at thirty- two years' purchase, is 44.320/., to which /oust be added for the prospective rent of 490/., in addition (say twenty years' purchase): this adds 9,0001. Thus it is— The farms let (say), 44,320/., at 32 years' purchase. the prospective rent, 9,00/., at 20 ditto. 54,1201. Now we will compare these high prices with the actual result. The first bidding was 40,000/., but Mr. Robins deals onl% in guineas, and the biddings proceeded thus until it :eached 52,000 guineas, at which it was knocked down to a \lr. Gwynne, of Teignmouth (a curious coincidence this, although no relation, it ahoula be sold to a namesake). Now Ater this matter-of fact statement, what will the alarmists , ay to this—what apology have they in store for Sir Roi whom they have vilified for so many months past ? Let them refer to the Warwickshire estate, sold by Mr. Robins a r;irtnight since for 50,000 guineas to Lord Craven for 32% years' purchase, on a rack-rent. Then look at the corrobora ion by the result of Ford Abbey, upwards of 102,000 gui aeas, in two sales (and within fourteen clays done another), it these advanced prices. It they have the slightest pr.per eeling, let them hide their diminished heads, and crave Sir ft.bert o forgive them. No more, I pray you, let me hear f the ruin of the agricultural word. It would be perfectly illy now to argue this point again.—Sun. LYPIATT PARK, GLOUCESTER. This b autiful estate being announced for public sale in our columns, by Mr. George Robins, and possessing, is it dues, unusual interest as connected with the history of our country. we think some notice of it may not be ,macceptable to our readerS. Lypiatt Park is situate tt a short remove from Stroud, and is reached froth London in three hours ; the c untry around is exceed ',ugly beautiful, indeed the Vale of Chalfont, whit h is close to the estate, has long been deemed the most lovely ,tart of Gloucestershire. The residence is in the old kstellated style, partaking of the gothic order of .trehitecturo. A p,rtion of it bears evident signs of 4reat antluity, whilst the venerable chapel and dove !ote are fine .-,p,cimens of the olden t ; indeed, the t'oriner seems as it were to have outlived all the vicissi iudes to which the doctrine first promulgated within it , .valls has been subjected to, and to offer its holy and p , tceful appearance as an attraction to some Catholic :aneily to become the possess,r of t h e co ate. Th., .liapel is said to have, been ereete d in the time of Stephen, toed that walls have ne%er 6: en desecrated. Passing over the families to v. hom the prepert 'telong,ed during the Tudor reign , , we find in the time of James I. that Lypiatt Park aas the seat of the •!•• , ebrate d Sir .1. Tfrockoerton, the preiector, of the unpowder Plot, whir at. its otuset held m tny of it, ietivate tn,etings in one of t, e eteaenbers of the p mansion, which, si.rant:e io s;y. atto r a lip , e of s many still preserved. The estate passed thre,ugt hauls, and in the time of Charles I. was occu pied by otie of his adherents, and was consequently he ,sieged-.by, the.'lably of the •PitAiau3ent, 'and Rflowil3' devastates. It re mained a mass of t uins for a long period, a portion of it only being habitable until Si , Paul Baahutt became the possessor and conceived its restoration and extension in the olden style, and with !he assistance of Sir Jeff,ry Wyattville reared a most beautiful structure ; but it was lift to the present pro : rietor to alter, improNe, and bring to perfection for it, •ize the most e'egant and complete chateau that can be found amongst England's boasted beauties. Of' the ex terior it is impossible to speak too much in praise ; its , v)-wreathed towers and walls, its oriel windows, tur • rett•ed embattlements and cloistered avenue, form a tout ensemble which cannot fail to please the mind's eye if the most fastidious in classical architecture; whilst in the interior the effect is ore of surpassing beauty and variety, combinii.g taste with comfert, and nobility with simplicity. From the end windows the most lovely and diveraityin scene is pre-ented, and from those of the noble corridor, the Monk's Garden is seen in all the quietude and repose necessary for contemplation. The domain extends to 231 acres of rich land, and is diversi lied by hill and dale, with a singularly beautiful eminence, or terrace, on which the mansion is seated, and from whence an extensive panorama is presented ; the home grounds being ornamented by noble and thriving timber, with a stately avenue leading in one direction, a rookery in the distance, and, descending .through a thorn grove tOa mead of surpatsing qui‘tude-and, richness, boutulei . bra Woitti of noble be:ecti - treeg; and- of great :e - xtent. throUgh.•which a.path,wit:ds:impervious to the, summer's heat,: catching ever an&andia the most charming peeps of the varying scene.: Much interest is excited by the in: tended sale ,f this property, and if report be true. more than one Catholic family of consequence has already been to inspect it.

In the eleva tion of our representative, Sir George Grey, to the most im portant and responsible office of her Majesty's Chief Secre tary of State for the Home Department, his Lordship has placed that Right Hon. Baronet in the precise position in which his active and comprehensive mind, his thorough mas tery arid judicious control of the complex machinery of Go vernment, can be best exercised for the lasting benefit of his countrymen. It would be as unworthy of ourselves as of the Right Hon. Baronet, were we to speak of his appointment in any way that should approach the commonplace commenda tions of the day; it is sufficient, therefore to add, that it is an exceedingly high honour—appreciated, we are sure, by the constituency in general—to have such a man as our re presentative in Parliament, a man who gives the strongest promise of yet being at the head of the councils of this mighty:empire —Devonport Independent.
