CHERTiEucuLTILIitAL ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting of this Associatio t i took place on Friday, at the Swan, Chertsey. J. SPARKER,E sq , took the Chair ; and among t h e company were Messrs.' Denison and Trotter, the Members for the Western Division of the County ; Sir W. Fremantle, Sir H. Fletcher, Col. Challenor, Mr. Briscoe, Mr. Lacoste, and a number of other gentlemen of fortune and influence residing in the neighbourhood. Mr. DENISON, in retureing thanks on " the Health of the Members for the County" being drunk, said it was most gratifying that men of all political opinions could meet together in support of such associations as this,. and whether they were desponding Whigs or tri tunphant Tories, in that room all differences subsided, and they united in one common object to improve the condition of the labouring population, and to benefit the community at large. Mr. TROTTER next addressed the meeting, and, al luding to the recent return of the population, said that the increase that had taken place in the last ten years was only equal to one-helrof the increase of the pre ceding ten y eers . B etween. the years 1821 and 1831 .tie population increased 1.5 per cent., whereas by the last return an i ncrease of 7- per cent. only was shown. ( Although, however, the increase was only 7:} per cent., Z'i•yet. b e found, upon a calculation he had made, that, reckoning three-quarters of wheat to an acre, which was rather a greater average than perhaps ought to be cal '' `additional ehlited upon, it would require the produce of 38,000 acres of land to supply the wants of that in . • .ereairedamount of population. He therefore begged of ,all who, heard hini,.whether landlords or tenants, never to forget tha,iimportanoe of increasing the produce of the soil, and to recollect that if they wished to avoid the importation of foreign corn, they must provide suf ficient food for the population of the country, and if they effected this, they had a right to ask for protection for the skill and science they employed ; but they were bound as landholders, farmers, or labourers, to show that nothing had been neglected to effect the important object he had alluded to. The CHAIRMAN then gave " Prosperity to the Royal Agricultural Society of England," and he said he felt ~ convinced that this Association would be the means, by its example to all the other associations of the kingdom, of rendering the greatest' advantages to the whole of t he community. Colonel CHALLENOR, as Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Association, returned thanks, and co ngratulated the meeting on the flourishing state of that Society. He said, that in travelling to attend the " lest meeting at Liverpool, he was struck with the bad farming he observed throughout the county of Lan caster. but it showed how anxious the farmers of the County were to effect improvements, when it appeared that the greater portion of the improved agricultural *plements which were exhibited on that occasion were Purchased by farmers of the county of Lancaster. Co lonel Chullenor then went on to express his opinion that the increase in the produce of the soil was consequent upon the improvements that had been effected in the scienc e of agriculture, and almost, if not quite, kept Pace with the increase of population ; and he said that ft farm er of his acquaintance had recently shown him by his books that his farm produced at the present time "e-fourth more than it did seven years ago ; and if an equal increase had taken place generally, there would be an abundant supply of food produced for even a lunch greater population than they had at present to Provide for. Sir \V. F REMANTLE also a dd resse d the meet i ng, and said that the Crown of England had been the patron and sin cere f r i end of agriculture, and lie alluded to their ' ild jesties George 111., George IV., and his late Ma- Jesty, who, he said, was a trim Britisii farmer, and t )ok 'LPrido and deli4lit in ever)tiling relating to agriculture. 41e had great pleasure in informing the meeting that Prince Albert had recently taken upon himseli tile ma n3gernent of th ree l arge f arms i n t h e occur ~lion of the Crown, and the intelligence and talent of that illustrious Prince were sure guarantees of the manner in which t hose farims would be conducted, and of the improve . Mellts that would be effected, and the encouragement that would be afforded. to agriculture, by the example tha t was thus afforded to the country. Sir William 'lloticiuded by stating that her Majesty's name also stood 'prominently forward as a subscriber in support of an association of the present description, and she had ex -,Pressed her readiness to continue her support to it. ~....prizes having been awarded to the successful plough ...llliett and deserving agricultural servant s , th e mee ti ng lep ara f ed. ,:r ',Jr,: MEXICAN REVOLUTION. Her Majesty's-packet .

No passerger. Reports that the uehooner Lynx, from Tampico for Liverpool, put into I tavannah with loss of her master, but sailed thence on • Oct. 17th for her destination. The last intelligence, by t he Mexican packet Penguin, informed us of the rising °f the troops under General Paredes, at Guadalaxara. The following is an extract of tha manifesto of that gar son, and of the inhabitants, dated August 3, which, after stating the carious acts of mal-administration of : t he existin g Government (alluded to in our Mexican ex press), and the grievances under which the nation labours, concluded by proposing to the Republic the following k henie gel a 1 An extraordinary national Congress to be convoked, ected on most ample bases, and fully empowered to re- Zt rr: the Constitution, and with this sole exclusive attri- " 2.

The t.,tstrates met about eleven, when the acchunations teyenewed, and the session lasted till east one, when their decision was published, of abolition of the duty of 15 per cent., monopoly of tobacco, personal contribu tion, scale of confiscations, reform of rates of duties in maritime eustom,houses, and the nomination of his Ex cellency General Santa Anna to—in the actual. lament able situation of the Republic—interpose his powerful influence for the purpose of obtaining the necessary or ganisation of the nation, of consolidating peace in the interior, and to ensure respect from exterior enemies. The utmost unanimity and concord reigned throughout the city on the occasion. - Santa Anna having laid his hands on all the available money resources at Vera Cruz, present and future (hating due respsct to the rights' of the dividend fund holders, and taking care not . to jeopardise the - .conductis" by his too early movement before it passed .Yalapal marched on to Perote, where he arrived on Aug. 30. At this fortress a brilliant division was assembled, which was to operate under his immediate orders.. Cartizan would join him, and it was supposed they would march thence for Mexico. Paredes was said to be making fur the capital likewise. The united force 'was estimated at 8,000 men. The intelligence of the revolution in Wise() had pro 7 diced a considerable sensation in the city of. Mexico, Letters from Tampico mention that there existed a gene ral decision in that place in favour of-the movement, and that part of the troops there were. ready to march in favour of the rights of the nation. The inhabitants were about to take up arms, as were those of other places in the vicinity. . Our corresponder t 4. urther 'informs us that Leon, in Guanajuato, and Yell e d, have also declared ibr the now order of things, so that the whole of the south of Mexico seems in possession of the confederates. The superior Chief of the revenue in Guadalaxara informed General Paredes that he WM ready to execute his orders ; but to cover his responsibility lie requested to be drawn Upon in writing. In the act he was in formed that what public funds 'he might collect were to be directed in,preferenceto supplying the wants of the troops, and an order has been sent to the "Custom-houso Of San Bias to remit its products to the treasury of Gua dalaxsia, not sending a single dollar to Mexico. The merchants have ordered supplies of goods, to profit by the low rate .of duties, but .it is said the Administrator of the custom-house of Guridaia.xara lies held consulta tionsto thwart-the collections, .and if so,. he will speedily be removed, which w ill g i v e sa tiSf ac tie n to.traders ge nerally. Things had returned to their. former, state . of tranquil lity, and the General is far from apprending, an attack, as he. is aware of the state of impotency to which the Govermitent of Mexico is reduced: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. A most whimsical dispute has arisen on the subject of the pronunciation of Iliona, the name of Lord Pal nterston's mare. The sporting world is divided into two factions on the question—one party, headed by John Day, the jockey, insisting that the o,in the name should be „pronounced long; the other, that it should be pronounced short. Bets to a large amonnt have been laid on both sides ; but as the dispute is one not likely to be settled by the Jockey Club—among whom Parrs and Persons are somewhat scarce—a deputation has been sent to the two Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, humbly in treating that they will be pleased to give the matter their gravest and most conscientious consideration! Mean while, Mr. Byng—toe anxious to wait the decision of the learned Dons, who vegetate by the banks of the Cam and- the Isis—has himself applied direct to Lord Pal merston, and the foljoWing is his Lordship's answer. As it is a bit of a curiosity in its way, and anything but orthodox in its notions of prosody, we quote the epis tolary gem entire:— C. T., Sept. 29,.1841 " My dear Byng—l have just received your letter of this morning ; and, though I should have high authority for declining to declare my opinion upon the matter on which you question me till the beginning of _February, yet, regardless of the silent system of the ; day, I send you an immediate answer. " " There can be no doubt that, in point of prosody, the o in Iliona, or Ilione (for the name is spelled either way), is short. Virgil settled the question in his first..rEneid, where he says— "' Prwterel sceptrum, Ilione quod gesserat olim " ' Maxima natarun: Priami.' But the second i is as short as the o; and as neither of those vowels have, in their name, any right to length, the first i and the final c (when that termination is adopted) being t'_ - .e only long vowels, the question arises, which of the two middle vowels is entitled to be accented ; and here the Greek spelling may determine the point ; and in Greek the accent is placed over the o, thus listo yr,. I take it that .the proper way of pronouncing the name, according to quantity and accent, would be as if it were spelled Hilli-onna or Hilli-onnee. " I hope I shall be thought to have thus given a frank, candid, and unreserved declaration of opinion ; and, as I am alone in my cabinet, you will believe me when I say that it has been arrived at without any difference or dis sent.—Your's sincerely, " PALMERSTON." The most whimsical part of this gifted epistle is, that while Lord Palmerston deduces the authority of Virgil to prove that the o is short, he himself directly after wards makes it long—as long, in fact, as one of Sir James Graham's pamphlets on the Corn -laws I To make the matter still more absurd, he allows that it is short; but then, as if to obviate all possibility of mistake, he takes the pains to write the word in English ; and by so doing, completely neutralizes his previous asser tion ! A more Irish method of argument was never yet adopted. • BRUSSELS. - - - - - Oct 9.—The Moniker Beige publishes to-day (in more than thirty-tyro columns) the Royal decree of the 7th of October, which authorises the formation of the Belgian Colonisation Company, with the object of form ing agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial establish ments, on the several States of Central America. The decree approves the statutes as they appear in an Act executed on the 18th of September last, in the presence of M. Evenepoel, Notary, as well as the regulations for the sale and cultivation of the lands, as laid down in an Act executed on the 23d of the same month, in the pre sence of the same notary. The Government grants its approbation on certain conditions. 1. An expedition to explore the country shall be un dertaken. 2. This expedition shall be at the expense of the Com pany, with the exception of an aid granted by the Go vernment which shall be the only participation of the Government in the expenses and risks of this expedi tion, all the other charges, and consequences falling on the Company. 3. The reports of the exploring Commissioners, and of the Government Commission shall be published in the Moniteur. • 4. No colonists or workmen can be sent before the publication of the official reports of the exploring Com missioners, and of the Government Commissioner, who shall participate in their operations. The lands are to be seleeted in the province of Vera Pax, in the State of Guatimala. PRESENT PROSPECTS OF THE IRON TRADE. —lt is truly astonishing, when we look back and con sider in how few years the iron manufacture has arrived at its present vast extent, and that this rapid incrt.ase has occasioned no heavy accumulation of stock. The iron trade, in common with all other trades, feels the effect of any general stagnation, but not from the over-pro duction, as with its growth, new channels of consump tion have kept pace. The endless detail into which the foundry trade branches itself, the almost universal fabrication which it embraces, consumes a very large proportion of the Make ; in buildings iron is becoming a very general substitute for wood : railroads may also be mentioned as consuming a very considerable quan tity of manufactured as well as cast iron, but principally the former. It would be endless to show where it has been, within a few years, introduced, but we cannot omit noticing its recent application to the building of ships. - The success attending these first trials cannot but lead to the conclusion that, for the future, ships will very generally be made of iron instead of wood, and, if so, what a field it opens to the ironmaster, and how greatly it would add to the consumption! The plates of which the ships will be built must necessarily be of a very superior description of iron, involving a greater waste, and, consequently, increasing the consumption of pig iron ; and those works must be benefited the quality and character of whose iron stands high, as, where the safety of hundreds or thousands of individuals is at stake, the very best iron alone should be used. With increased facilities of procuring iron at a reasonable price, Ame rica, and also France—provided that, in this latter coun try, the duties are reduced—will become large pur chasers ; and our iron trade, unlike many of the other manufactures, being altog e th er th e p ro d uct i on o f our own soil, will continue to give employment to hundreds of thousands of our population, to the great advantage of the country at large, as well, we trust, as the individual benefit to the ironmaster.—Scrivener's History of time Iron Trade. HOW TO OBTAIN FREEDOM.--Whether we look to ancient or modern history, to the history of other countries, or that of our own, we shall find that one or other of these modes has been, with scarcely any ex ception, the only road to obtaining relief from op pression. We shall be able, from time to time, to furnish innumerable instances of this ; and without pursuing the subject in chronological order, w e s h a ll select such cases as m ay present themselves most strikingly. The nearer we come to the present time the fewer instances shall we find of resistance by physical force, but the more numerous the cases of moral resistance. In cases of fiscal oppression, the smuggler has been the greatest friend and assistant to free trade ; and when our Chan cellors of the Exchequer have been deaf to every argu ment, and duties of 40, 50, or 100 per cent. have been levied on commodities, let it but be shown that, in spite of all their expensive parade of coast guard and revenue cutters, and land waiters, and tide waiters, and custom houses, and custom-house officers, that the smugglers could import for 10 per cent., and that to a large ex tent ; and the Legislature have consented to the reduc tion.—Bread Eater's Advocate. Lord Eliot arrived by the Liverpool mail packet this morning, and immediately proveeded to the Secre izry's Lodge, in the Phoenix Park. Ilis Lordship was expt,,^ted at the Castle in the course of the day, to enter upon th.. , duties of his office ; but he did not come to town, having been fatigued from the effects of the voy age.—D u Urn- Nail.

This pleasant little theatre Opened last even ing for the winter season,. under -the manage ment of Mr. G. Wild. During 'the recess the theatre has been newly and elegantly fitted up, a new dress circle has been: formed, :the stage has been relaid, a new proscenium has been painted, and the front of ,the upper circle has been adorned with various de signs from the pencil of Mr. Wilson, jun. The appearance of the interior has been greatly im proved by these judicious alterations, and the Olympic is now one of the most elegant little theatres in London. Mr. Wild has been fortu nate in securing the services of a most talented and efficient company, among whom is that most delightful songstress, Mrs. Waylett. The performances commenced, last evening, with the burletta of First Impressions, in which Mrs. Waylett as Constance, sang her beautiful ballad of " Kate Kearney," as she can only sing it, and was, as a matter of course, rapturously encored. After the burletta we had a comic ballet, admirably performed by a company of juveniles, pupils of Mr. Frampton; and then, for the first time, a new comic drama, (an adaptation from the French,) entitled Cousin Peter. The scene is laid in the house of Gibelon (Mr. Halford), an officer in the French police, on whose wife Cecile (Mrs. Waylett), a certain 'Marquis de la Foix (Mr. Fitzjames), entertains certain designs, in pursuit of which he has entered the house clandestinely, while he has managed to have Gil:elon called away on a false alarm. A certa!n Nicholas Bnnne (Ross), a plebeian thief, has also entered the house in pursuit of certain designs on the lady's diamonds. The lady, after her husband's departure, dis covers that they are in the house; and, as the scene is in the dark, adroitly plays off the thief against the Marquis as her cousin Peter, who is asleep in the next room, and will be alarmed if he make any noise, while the Marquis in his turn is played off against the thief; until Gibelon's return, when both are taken into custody. The situations were excessively comic, and were made the most of by,those engaged. The piece was com pletely successful. The burlesque ofßilly Taylor concluded the evening's perfbrmances, Wild him self being the " gay young fellow," while the part of Mary Wagstaff, the heroine, was admir ably sustained by that exceedingly clever actress and singer, Miss Le Batt. Mr. Calcott is the leader of the orchestra, which is complete and efficient; and our old Maud Baker has /resumed his post as stage manager. The house was ceedingly well filled. ; LITERATURE. PARLEY'S PENNY LIBRARY AND TREA SURY OF KNOWLEDGE, ENTERTAIN MENT, AND DELIGHT, London, Cleave, Shoe-lane. The First Part of this publication has lately appeared, and is to be continual weekly in penny Parts, and monthly in fburpenny Parts, firming, certainly, one of the cheapest periodicals of the day. The fourpenny Part contains 144 pages duodecimo, of small type, but neatly and dis tinctly printed, and interspersed with a great variety of wooden cuts. Some of these are well finished, others are not ; and we would, there fore, suggest to the publisher the propriety of improving the cuts, even though he should re duce the number by one-half. A few executed like that of the fin of the whale, and a vase illustrating the art of manufacturing glass, would be ornamental as well as instructive, and add greatly to the value of the book. The tales with which it abounds are in general well told ; the language is simple and intelligible; the informa tion good; and the moral tendency of the work well calculated to make a lasting and beneficial imkession on the youthful mind. The publisher, who says he has no pecuniary interest whatever in the little work, farther than the very slight portion which attaches to him as publisher, thus gives an -outline of its plan and object : "We propose, through the medium of Familiar and Interesting Conversations,' to elicit incidentally such traits of character as require correction, together with contrasting exhibitions of the nobler qualities ; and our Tales and Legends, our Poetry and Dramatic Pieces, will supply antidotes a hich, while they exhilarate the mind, enliven the imagination, and enlarge the under standing, will neutralise the ingredients of many a poi soned chalice, at.prosent so indiscriminately circulated. But these constitute by far the least consequential por tion of our scheme. Strenuous endeavours will be directed to the formation of a vigorous taste—to the creation of a just perception of wilat is really beautiful, in contradistinction to the prevailing rage for unmiti gated indulgence in sanguinary horrors on the one hand, and gross buffoonery or maudlin sentimentality on the other. The rich and costly stores of the Greek and Roman classics, of the very existence of which vast num bers of both sexes never heard, will be popularly pre sented to our readers by an occasional prose analysis of some celebrated author ; by which many even of those who have dog's.eared a school Ovid, and subsequently arrived at the distinction of applying their wretched latinity to the exposition of Greek, will derive more knowledge of the classics from one of our humble num bers, than could be gathered from all the disjointed and fragmental lumber which they have heaped together in the course of their too generally worse than useless studies. " Natural History will also obtain the share of notice due to its importance ; together with such of the Arts and Sciences as are most interesting, or confer the greatest benefit upon man." The following description of the whale affords a fair specimen of the work : " The . whale is one of the most extraordinary pro ductions of nature, and contributes very largely to the comforts and c o n ven i ence o f man, w hil e the extensive fisheries, for capturing th a t mons t er o f t h e deep, consti tute an excelle n t sc h oo l f or rear i ng h ar d y and experienced seamen, the importance of which is incalculable, in con nection with a great nat i on lik e this, which is indebted for all its influence and vastness of foreign possessions to the' insulated position of the mother country, and the exercise of almost undisputed mastery on the sea, the en tire length and breadth of which may be said to form a portion of the British empire. But the whale, though an inhabitant of the depths of ocean, and invested with amazing power in swimming and directing its course, with no legs to walk and no capacity to exist out of water, its proper element —the whale, notwithstanding these fish-like qualities, is not a fish, but belongs to the order of miunnialia—of animals that bring forth their progeny and suckle them with milk ; and its fins differ in it singular manner from those of fishes ; .they nearly resemble the human arm, and terminate with a hand, having four fingers, as delineated in this drawing. The whale is thus enabled to clasp its young, and carry them in its arms, and perform many of those acts of dal liance and affection for which the mother is distinguished among terrestrial animals. The tail of the whale is also a curious combination of mechanical powers ; and, in additition to the great strength bestowed upon it, the musoles allow it to be turned any way, with as much fa cilitras the human arm ; but the formation of the tail of the fish circumscribes its motions to the limited use fur which it was designed, that of directing its course, while in the whale it presents a most formidable weapon of defence, _with which it frequently hurls a boat and its crew into the air, whilst writhing from the anguish of harpoons buried in its flesh, and striving in vain to escape from the persevering efforts of its destroyers. The blood of the whale is warm, like that of terrestrial animals ; its brain is much larger in proportion than that of the fish ; its eyes have a remarkably intelligent expression ; and its sense of hearing is so acute as to increase very considerably the difficulty of approaching it near enough - ._ .. ... . to-inflict the stroke by which its great strength is finally overmnie. . ". The north and south seas abound with whales, and they are generally dis covere d by-:thole who seek them fur the valuable oil they yield, by! they-fountain-like site= of water which they eject. 'Themoment a - fiihr is seen from the:mast-head of a whaler,- , ithe boats Atolinarnisci and row away in quest of him.

A letter from Hamburgh, in the COnstitutionnel, relates the following traits of benevolence on part of M. Solomon Heine, the Jewish banker of that city. The Lutheran church of the parish- in'which M. Heine resides being much out of repair, it was resolved to raise a sub scription to repair it, and M. Heine waswaited. - upon by the three churchw a rd e n s , and, requested to openthe_aub scription list with his name. AL Heine, after having inquired what the expense of repairing the ahtirCh would be, and having been inform&l that it would amount to 30,000 current mares (about 44,000 fr.) declined heading the list, but told the churchwardens to call upon the most wealthy of their parishioners of their own religion, -and said he would give the same amount as, that per son, whatever it might be. The churchwardens called upon M. de Bauer, who put doWn his name for 22,000 fr., being half the estimated expense, and, returning to M. Heine, that gentleman imme diately gave them an order upon his cashier for the same amount, thus completing at once the entire sum which was wanted. The other instance of gene rosity in M. Heine is the following :—A few days ago, before the date of the letter from which we take this account, a tradesman of great respectability called upon M. Heine, and entreated him to lend hini 33,000 bank mares (45,000 fr.) to take up a bill Which was due, adding, that, if the bill were to be dishonoured, it would be his ruin, and offering to prove to M. Heine, by his book, that he was really in the position which he described, but wanted only time to meet his engage ments. The banker went home with him,' and, having examined his books, remonstrated mildly with him for having over-speculated, but immediately afterwards gave to him a paper, folded as a letter, saying, " This is all I can do for you at present." lie then took his leave hastily. When he was gone, the borrower un folded the paper, and found his own acceptance for the 33,000 mares, with the receipt for the mares at the back. THE OLD ENGLISH GENTLEMAN ; OR, THE FIELDS AND THE WOODS.—" Though unlike any other novel with which we are acquainted," observes the Naval and Military Gazette, " this work is a novel, nevertheless, anti a most lively and entertaining one, full of character and humour, and still more full of those true and vivid pictures of rural life with which the fields and the woods abound." "The Old English Gentleman," in short, fills a hiatus describingleft itsliterature.anditsappropriate not incidents and peeularities ; nor is there one which does not give birth to a racy and original. character ; from the huntsman, the whipper-in, game keeper, the trapper, the the po,acher, and all their several auxiliaries, up to the "Old English G ent l eman ,' himself, the spring and presiding genius of all. On Monday the Teviot, one of the steam frigates intended to carry the mails to and from the 'West Indies was launched from the building -yard of Messrs. Robert Duncan and Co.

NORTH-WEST BOUNDARY QUESTION. S, A timely njustment of conflicting claimi is as essen tial to the harmony of nations as of individuals, and it is but a feeble and pettifogging statesmanship that pro crastinates the day of settlensent and bequeaths to pos terity a legacy of douhtful or disputed rights. Proof of the inconvenience of such bequests is abundantly supplied by, the boundary questions at issue between Great Britain and the United States. With the more prominent of these questions-- namely, that of the north-east boundary—in all its complications and entanglements, the public have long been familiar, and the able and luminous re port of the British Commissioners has dispelled the mists by which it was Surrounded. .Tne other ter ritorial controversy, which has its origin in the re mote north-west (in consequence, perhaps, of few pri. vate interests being mixed up with-it), is _little , noticed, and :imperfectly understood. The pertinacity and boldness with -which the Government and people of the United States continue to urge their pr.:tensions to exclusive dominion in that qua ter, and• the hope that these and similar pretensions will be properly en countered by the firmness and sagacity of the present Secretary for Foreign Affairs, lead us to believe that a few observrtions on the subject may not be unseasonable. The disputed territory of the Oregon, although, strictly speaking, lying between the 42d and 49th parallels of latitude, may be practically considered to extend further to..the southward by more than a degree, and to include the whole sweep of country drained by the river Columbia, pre eating on the Pacific about 500 miles of coast, from Cape Men docino to the strait- of Juan de 'Fuca. The Snowy Mountains, a range running , . about' 700 miles, from :Cape Mendocino to the Rocky Mountains, separate ;he Oregon, or. Columbia country, from the Mexican province of Upper, California. The climate of the Oregon territory is generally mild and salubrious, the lower and middle regions and the valleys are well adapted to grazing and agriculture, and the exten sive forests yield a heavy growth of timber, among which the pine is represented as attaining extraordinary dimen sions. Hitherto this section of America, the area of which is estimated at 350,000 square mils, has been occupied as hunting-ground by the fur-traders,who have established posts for collecting peltries and carrying on a• limited commerce with the natives. The Hudson's Bay. Company, r which now reigns supreme in the north west, has its principal trading establishment at. Fort Vancouvre, on the north bank of the Columbia, and a settlement for such of its people as may be released Irons the toils of the hunter and trapper, in the plfa sant.and fertile valley of the Willamet. An attempt was made in 1311, by Mr. John Jacob Astor, a wealthy merchant of New York, to obtain a share of the fur trade of the Oregon, but his post of Astoria was cap tured by the British during the war ; and although re stored to the United States some time after the peace, there has been no renewal of the enterprise which oc casioned i:s erection. It will be sufficient for our purpose to touch very lightly upon the salient points of tile case, presented by the British and American diplomatists, on behalf o their respective Goverments, with reference to the so. vereignty of the Oregon territory. The claim of Great Britain is devisible into a right of joint occupancy, derived from treaty with Spain, and of exclusive dominion, arising out of priority of disco very and settlement. In 1790, by a Convention between England and Spain for the peaceful settlement of a dispute caused by the seizure of British vessels at Nootka Sound, it was agreed that " their respective subjects should not be disturbed or molestefl, either in navigating or carry ing on their fisheries in tie Pacific Ocean or the South Seas, or in landing on the coasts of those seas in places not already occupied, for the purpose of carrying on their cozinerce with the natives of the country, or of making settlements." • Tint article clearly established the right of joint occupancy. Tue claim to exclusive sovereignty, as against the United States, has been founded upon the discoveries and pur chases of British subjects on the north-west coast, espe cially the discovery of the Columbia by an officer of the British navy, and the first establishment of posts on that river and its tributaries by our fur companies. On the part of the United States it has been pleaded that the Convention of 1790 was nullified by the outbreak of hostilities between Spain and Great Britain in 1796, and that its provisions Lave not been recognised by any subsequent treaty ; that ail the titles of Spain were transferred to the United States by the treaty of 1819 ; that the discovery of the Colombia river, and the earliest exploration of the country it traverses, were accomplished by Ame .riCans ; that the justice of the American claim was virtually acknowledged by the British Government in its restitution of Astoria ; and that, by reason of contiguity, the right of the United Stites to the Ore gon territory was more potential than than of any other nation. The efforts of the negotiators to effect a permanent arrangement Letween Great Britain and the United States having proved unsuccessful, the limits of their respective territories west of the Lake of the Woocls were left undeterminel by the treaty of Ghent. The third article of a convention signed at L-mdon on the 20th of October, 1818, stipulated that all territories claimed by either Power between the Rocky Moun tains and the Pacific Ocean should, with their har bours, bays, and rivers, be free and open for ten years to the vessels, subjects, or citizens of both, with the understanding that this agreement was net to b. con strued to prejudice the claims of either nation, or of any other, to any portion of the territories in question. These stipulations were renewed by a convention signed August 6, 1827, which embraced a supple mentary provision, empowering either of the contract ing parties to annul and abrogate the arrangement at any time after the 20th of October, 1828, on giving twelve months' notice. This arrangement has con tinued in force up to the present time. The uneasy interest which the question of the north western boundary has excited in the United States is in striking contrast with the apathy that has prevailed respecting it in this country. While it is a constantly recurring theme of discussion and inquiry in the Fede ral Legislature, and of eager comment in the American papers, it is almost unnoticed by the Parliament and press of England ; and probably the knowledge of its merits hardly extends beyond the offices of Downing. street, or the premises of the Hudson's Bay Corpora.. tion. A work now before us exemplifies the sleepless ness of American vigilance when the end in view is territorial aggrandizement. In accordance with the instructions of the Secretary for Foreign Affairr, issued at the instance of a spe cial committee of the Senate of the United States Congress, the librarian to the department has com piled, from official documents, a Memoir, Historical and Political, of. the North-West Coast of North America, and the• adjacent territories, which memoir, we are told, demonstrates that " the titles of the United States to the possession of the regions drained by the Columbia river, derived from priority of discovery and priority of occupation, are as yet stronger and more consistent with the principles of national right than those of any other Power, from whatsoever source derived." The sentence which di rectly follows this announcement, and forms the con clusion of an exposition elaborately partial, warrants the inference that, with or without title, the Republican eagle is destined to fix its talons in the disputed terri tory, atid.annex it to theNnion. " That those regions must, he eventually possessed by the people of the United States only, any one ac quainted with the progress of settlemeut in the valley of the Mississippi during the last fifteen years will be inclined to question ; but that Great Brithin will, by every means in her power, t vade the establishment of an American population on the shores of the Pacific may be confidently expected, from the dispositions evinced by her Government in-tall its recent discussions with the United States." , Proceeding from an official source, this anticipatiou of future events is marvellously cool. It does not, however, follow that in resisting the pretensions of the United States the British Government should be ad verse to the settlement of an Anglo-America n popula tion on the shores of the Atlantic. There, as every where else, the growth of our commerce must be co extensive with the advances of civilisation. That the time has arrived for the adoption of some decisive course is evident, if we would not be taken at disadvantage by the stealthy progress of our rival., who, it appears, are quietly adjusting the controversy after Transatlantic fashion. The Memoir alleges that, in 1832, settle ments were made from the United States on the coun ties of the Colombia, " without any commercial views;" that three years afterwards a colony of Americans was established on the Wallamet, and that since that period " the number of American citizens permanently residing beyond the Rocky Mountains has been much increased." " With regard to the condition of these settlements, no information has been recently obtained. I n 18 37 they were all prospering ; and it may be supposed that they are continuing to do well, inasmuch as a large number of emigrants sailed for the Columbia from New York, in the autumn of last year (1839), under the superintendence of one of the founders of the Wallamet colony, and other persons are said to be now in that city preparing for a similar expedition." It is significantly intimated that for m:gratory Ame ricans there is a much readier way than the circuitous route by Cape Horn to countries on the Pacific. " It is not by means of such long and d angerous voyages that citizens of the United Sta'es are to effect settlement% in N94lA.West America, and it will, doubt less, be the core of their Government to render smoother and more secure the routes across the conti nent to those countries lying entirely within the undis puted limits of the republic. In the possession of these routes the Americans have infinite advantages over the it sh and all other nations for occupling the regions in question. And we may . add, will not be particularly iscru pulous n availing thems e l ves of the facilities for appropriation. According to the Memoir, " nothing more is required than the establishment of a few military posts, at • convenient _distances, on a lino be tween ithe Missouri and the, Rocky Mountai ns , as I gve to th e A mer i can settlements on the Columbo" ▪ such an extent and stability "as will render nugatory all claims on the part of other nations to the possession • of these countries." Once masters on the Columbia, we I may predicate that the restless Republicans will not be ,slow in spr ea di ng t h emse l ves Over the productive sod ,of Upper California, and clutelAng the commercial and maritime advantages' which ar4' certain to re ward the founders of a suitable settlement on' the magnificent bay of Sae _Francisco; -- - , Neither moun tains, nor savages, - nor : Mexie.ara,. proclamations, will repel the cloud of ‘. squatters' which hovers on the confines of that . ample and attractive province. A partial descent has already been tir a de, and - the in trusive swarm will" increase with each suc c eeding year. Unless diplomacy quicken its peace, or Mexico be miraculously strengthened and regenerated, we may expest to see brother Jonathan some fine morning, with a broad grin upon his flee, exulting at having " hustled" us out of the Oregon country, and secured, on his own terms, the eventual possession of all the territory be tween the Snowy Mountains and the Rio Gila. For this consummation we arc prepared by the following passage of the memoir : " Within the last five or six years, the Government, as well as the people, of the United States, have begun to devote their attention seriously to matters connected with the north-west regions of this continent. Numerous petitions have been presented, and motions have been made and discunel in both Houses of the Federal Le gislature for the annulment of the existing arrange ment with Great Britain, the military occuwion of those territories, aad the extension o f Am er i can juris diction over them ; and the Executive has been sedu lously engage.' in collecting the information whit h may be necessary in order to place the subject in a proper light, and to render movements effective at the proper time." • • SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGA TION OF THE GOSPEL IN.FOREIGN.PARTS. . • • -., (From the Norwich Gazette.) The ; , anniversary: meeting of the "members. and friends " of this Society was advertised to take pl:sce on ThUrsdaY last ; When the Rev. R. Crofts, who was de puted by the Parent Society, and other gentlemen, it was stated, would explain the objects and operations of the Society ; Lord Wodehouse being also announced as the Chairman of the morning meeting. On the day previous to the meeting a bill had' been put into circulation signed " A Philanthropist," urging the Chartists to attend. At twelve o'clock, the hour fur the meeting, the_Lord r Lieutenant (Lord Wodehouse), the Right Hon. and Rev. Lord Bayning, the Hon. and Very Rev, the Dean, the Hon. and Rev. J. T. Pelham, and a large body of the Clergy had assembled, and a number of ladies .had also entered the Hall to be present at the meeting. Several well-known Chartists had taken the front row of seats in the area, and it was quite evident that the intention was to interfere with the course of the meeting- Lord WODEHOUSE, in taking the Chair, said it was usual to commence meetings of this kind with prayer. Appropriate prayers were accordingly read by the Rev. C. Chapman. Lord WODEIIOUSE than rose and said—lt is my duty —(lmmediately the interruption commenced, one of the Chartists calling out " The Chairman has not been ap pointed yet." The DEAN said—This is a meeting of the members and friends of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and it has be en announce d t h at Lord Wodehouse would take the chair. Rev. C. CHAPmAN—I wish to say, once for all, that we are prepared to put down those who are come here with the determination to disturb this meeting. lam fully convinced that most of the Chartists are here at the in stigation of some one else.—(A Chartist—" It is false.") If any one of you can show that you have been so in stigated, and will give us information as to the parties I can only say that it shall answer your purpose. HunaELL—The spirit of truth is guiding us, and if that misguides us we can't help it. Lord WODEHOUSE again attempted to address the meeting, but was again interrupted by the Chartists. A CHARTIST—fast week I heard a gentleman saying that the Church was prosperous, and because I said the people were starving I was told that I should be sent to prison. —(Increasing noise.) The Rev. R. CROFTS, M.A. (Rector of North Ocken don, Essex, and Chaplain to the Bishop of Salisbury), who had been deputed by the Parent Society, endea voured to obtain a hearing. He said this is a meeting called together of' the members of the Society who wen: invited to hear and explanation of the objects and operations . of the Society. I will presume you are friends. Are you aware of the objects of the Society ; they are to give spiritual assistance to English emigrants to our colonies. Have none of you friends in Australia, friends who have been obliged to leave this country and seek employment elsewhere, because the population here is so large? And would you not wish that those friends should have in struction' and assistance? I myself have friends there.— (Laughter, interruption, and much noise ; and it was evident that it • would be impossible to go on with the proceedings.) Lord WODEHOUSI; rose anti said—l move that this meeting , do.tioW adiourn. Lordship immediately left the. chair anti retired . from the Hall.(Noise and uproar from the Chartists, one of whom called out, " I tnove'that'Mi.tlarke take the chair;" loud cheers from the' Cliartliti.Y " Clarke, the Socialist, who was in the front row with the Chartists, ojiroftdnp She ,front part of the orchestra and planted brius elf ia the chair. amidst loud liuzzas from the CliartistB.•''‘: ) °" " ° CLARKE addressing the gentlemen on the platform— You shall be all heard if you will only attend to me now in the chair. The policemen present were called and immediately obeyed the summons of the Rev. C. Chapman, who charged them to take Clarke into custody, and two of the policemen handed Clarke off to the Hall, amidst much excitement. HEWETT, Chartist—You'll never have another public meeting in this Hall I can tell you.—(Three cheers were proposed for the Charter, and " three groans for the parsons.") . After the Noble Chairman had left, the Dean, the Rev. Mr. Crofts, the Rev. Mr. Yates, and several other clergymen and gentlemen stopped, and endeavoured to reason with the Chartists, but the greatest confusion and noise existed. Mr. WINTER came to the front of the hustings and addressed the Chartists, but amidst the confusion the only remark we could hear was this :—" I tell you, that by the course you are pursuing, you are setting ev e ry honest man against y ou . ' HEWETT—The parsons are robbers, plunderers, and murderers. Mr. WINTER.—It is false. A GENTLEMEN on the platform.-Who are your beat friends ? llEwerT —Not the parsons. You do not work, Sir. Mr. WINTER.—Who is it to whom you would be glad to sand in your dying hour ?--the clergyman. Who is it that will attend you at that trying moment I—the clergyman. If you attended your church you would not act as you arc now doing. One man said—My name is Geerge Lamb—l assure you, gentlemen, as I now stand here, if you put me into prison I shall be glad of it, for I shall have more food there than I have now. I ant a native of Norwich, and have worked for Mr. Willett 15 years; I know the dif% ference between the discipline of the workhouse and the prison, having been in b o th places: I was Put into a workhouse in the county, and for getting over the wall was sent to Walsingham prison, -- where my treatment was better than in the workhouse. • : ' • . Another—'Tis no use:,you~sball never. have another public meeting. • • The Ladies. luntehiefly left 'the -hall, and most of the supporters of the meeting. . • llEwErr —We want more bread and less bibles, and more pigs and less parsons. Another—The parsons'are the worst set of beings on the face of the earth. Mr. WINTER—They are the best friends of the poor, and many of you who have caused this interruption are the men whom they have supported. Some of you who are the loudest against the parsons would be the first to call upon them when in difficulties.—(Cries of " You always was a lazy fellow ; you are no use.")

Mr. Crory.—Do you grudge the slaves their liberty ? ("No, but you try to enslave us.")

Did you not call us ignorant ?—(No.) Hewett then complained that but 30,0001. was granted for the purposes of education, while 70,0001. was voted for building the Queen's stables. 'rho parties then left the Hall, the Chartists assuring them they would come again and have a look at them in the evening. In consequence of the interruption in the morning, it was announced that the evening meeting would not take• place. CLARKE, who was taken to the Hall, was brought up before Captain Money, and was charged by the , Rev, Mr. Chapman with combining with others to disturb the meeting. Captain MONEY remarked that -hellad done so, and Clarke asked him if that was._,,the information he had received, or his oWn = bpinion, for', fie had not heard it so stated. Captain .Xoney said certainly was his own opinion.

There was no evidence against him, and he was discharged on giving his w or d to a pp ear t o answer - any charge when called upon ; and he returned back to the Hall, where the meet i ng h a d j ust broken up, , and where he was cordially received and warmly cheered by the. Chartists assembled on St. Andrew's Plain. THE PRINCESS RO VAL.
