Mr. COB DEN'S fortyshilling freeholders will wrest those counties to which his registration labours extend from the landlord ridden serfs whom Ballot is desired to protect. Their next representatives will be returned by majorities consisting of freemen, and will no longer speak the voice of the landlords. 'there will 'still be nomination boroughs and corrupt boroughs: here the League can do nothing, and they have -wisely given up the boroughs for the counties. _ It is not pro bable that before a dissolution they can comprehend all the counties of England even within their grasp ; but the way to succeed is to confine efforts to what may be done, and to do that; and this is the way, we rejoice to see, that the League are pursuing. Something has been already done. Mr. COBDEN, who is no braggart, has lately repeated many times that four , -counties aro safe to return free- traders. All the family in fluence and high character of Lord FRANCIS EGERTON will not agaire avail him in South Lancashire, and his col league, Mr. Ex.rwtstr., will have to whistle for his seat. Mr. Rttowx, the eminent Liverpool merchant, and Mr- CHARLES %%wrens, are booked as the Members for South Lancashire in the next Parliament; and a truly deserved *Waird will thus be conferred on Mr. VILLIERS for his noble gorvices to the cruse of free-trade in Parliament. Mr. STpatry WORTLEY and Mr. BECKET DF.stsoN are no longer to misrepresent the West Riding, which will thus take the first opportunity of recovering itself from the disgrace ig rejecting Lords MORPETH and MILTON. The two present thetas-protecting Members for North Cheshire are doomed also; and so is Colonel WOOD in Middlesex, where it is ru moured that Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR will be the candidate On free-trade principles, whenever a vacancy may arise. These are the counties which the League have made safe. They - have made progress, also, in other counties; and in the neir-t year's registration they propose to make safe the following twenty-four counties : County. Present Members. North'Lanctishire Clifton South Cheshire — B4 ; Egerton and Mr. Tollemache North Sta ff ordshire aft. . J. W. R usse ll an d Mr. Adderly South Staffordshire Lord mr. H l . n f e a s m t r t i )t e on an a d nd Co m l. r A . Liddell nson North Durham East Cumberla nd South Northumberland Mr. Bell and Mr. S. Ogle North Warwickshire East Worcestersh ire East Gloucestershire teris West Gloucestershire East Somersetshire West Somersetshire North Wiltshire South Nottinghamshire Lord Lincoln and Col. Rolleston South Leicestershire Rutland Last Surrey Mr. Kemble and Mr. Antrobus South Essex Mr. Bramston and Mr. G. Palmer West Kent South Hants .. .. Mr. Compton and Lord Charles Wellesley East Sussex Mr. Darby and Mr. Fuller East Cornwall Mr. Rashley and Mr. Pole Carew West Cornwall Lemon. It is well to let those who are doomed know their own ,names.. There may be as many as six. out of the four dozen Members we have named who have voted for Mr. VILLIERS'S motion. One of these is the venerable Colonel LANGTON. ' The League propose to provide him with a more suitable colleague than Mr. MILF.s. Oh 1 what a blow will it be to the 17, Bond-street Society, to see their spokesman in the House of Commons—the leader of the agricultural protection THE army, that, according to Mr. Escorr, fights with the bellies i of the people, driven from his county. Hall that the League proposes cannot be done this year, we pray them to let there be no doubt about Mr. MILES and East Somersetshire. Bristol should set all doubt at rest on this subject, and, we presume, will. We pray, too, that there may be no doubt about Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY. Let the game-laws be scourged in this their most unblushing champion. We could have wished to see Buckinghamshire, Dorset shire, and• West Sussex in the next year's League programme. It would be wounding the enemy in his tenderest part, t beat him in the Duke of RicnmoNn's, the Duke of BUCK INGHAM'S, and Lord ASHLEY'S counties; and Buckingham shire is within an hour's reach for the London free-traders, whe are willing to give fifty or sixty pounds for a freehold that will enable them to vote at the next general election against the Duke of BUCKDIGHAM'S nominees. Bucking hamshire, by all means, should be added to the list. East Surrey, South Essex, West Kent, South Hants, and East Sussex, is, in the meantime, the work provided by the League for Londoners between this and the 31st of January next. The possession of a forty-shilling freehold on that day in any of these counties will entitle a person to be placed on the register in next year's registration. Let all who have fifty or sixty pounds to invest, and who wish to aid in giving monopoly its death-blow, go to the League•-office, and make themselves 'forty- shilling freeholders for the next registra tion. The money will not be sunk ; and to the pecuniary return will be added the power of voting against the enemies of free trade and good government. The wretched condition of from three millions to four mil lions of men, women, and children in Ireland, so disgraceful to a Christian community, has often been described by casual visitors to that country, or by professed book-makers ; it has, of course, made an impression on readers for a time, and ex cited wonder that so many human beings should exist under the most civilised Government of the world, and in a country overflowing with wealth, and furnishing employment to countless labourers by the most gigantic and daring schemes. In England, but a few miles distant, labour finds a sufficient demand, trade is in the most flourishing condition, the poor ge - nerally can obtain work and bread enough to stop the cravings of their children, and even the very farm labourer, amidst his extreme poverty, is comfortably lodged, and can eke out his existence with decent endurance on an income of 10s. a week. The condition of the lower classes in Scotland, with the ex- ception, perhaps, of some remote districts in the Highlands, is still more favourable. Recourse is rarely and reluctantly had to parish relief; almost every one of the poorest class has a decent suit, in which he can attend churches and fairs without feeling shame in the presence of others in better circumstances. But in Ireland there is only one uni- versa' scene of misery; families half starved, the father and the mother half naked, and the children in many instances with only a tatter to cover their nakedness, but utterly use less either for protecting them from cold, or providing the warmth necessary for their comfort and very existence. The whole family, huddled together with the pig, or the cow, or some domestic animal which their scanty means can purchase, they appear to every observer but themselves in the lowest stage of misery, and far inferior in condition to the merest savages. But what renders the evil more in tolerable, there is no prospect whatever of improvement. Government can do little, and those who are bound in a moral and religious point of view to mitigate such a horrible state of suffering, the landlords and priests, appear to do still less. We hear of the starved cotter driven from his wretched abode by the middleman or his employer, or all his little stock seized for payment of rent ; and we hear a great deal more about the piety of the people, their reverence for their priests, and the sineere devo tion they display when in the most ungenial weather they kneel before the crucifix, or at the observances of religious rites in front of their district chapels, too small fur the super abundant population; but we rarely or never hear of these parties laying their heads together to improve the moral and physical condition of the people, to teach them agriculture or economy, or any arts by which civilised man is distinguished from the barbarian. Latterly another awful symptom of their degradation has manifested itself in many districts. The wretched beings, as if weary of life, have resorted to as sas,ination—the assassination of the very men who should be their natural protectors. The crime is on the increase, and how it is to be put down no human being can tell. Mr. O'CONNELL seems to look to the constabulary force for pro tection, and blames the Government, who have such power ful means in their hands, for not punishing the assassins. But in such a ease it is well known that the most powerful Government cannot do much without the aid of the more respectable residents. These criminals appear to be bound together by secret oaths, or, at all events, by a spirit of clan ship, which prevents every trace of proof; even the more honourable among them, who are shocked at such atrocities, and might be inclined to give evidence, are deterred by a sense of self-preservation, for they reckon with certainty, and they have but too good reason, that they would meet the fate of the victim whose death they were anxious to avenge. For this deplorable state of society we can see no hope of re medy at all so likely to effect a change as more activity and watchfulness on the part of the Catholic clergy. The arm of the law is utterly powerless ; the fear of priestly indignation and punishment never was more prevalent among any people, and the least thing the clergy can do is to make an experi ment and use their religious power in the cause of humanity and good order, and for the sake of the people themselves. We are firmly convinced that the will is not wanting on the part of the priesthood, but only the means of carrying it into effect. Let them combine together for the purpose ; they have every means of intelligence, and the terror of their ven geance would do more in one year than all the constabulary and all the military force of England. They are bound to make the experiment for their own sakes. From all we can learn, a more virtuous clergy does not exist than the Catholic clergy of Ireland, and they would be the very last per sons in the world to wink at assassination ; but they ought to remember that stigmas are not easily wiped out, and that many Protestants still believe that the policy of the Court of Rome remains the same, and that assassination, or any other atrocious means of destroying an enemy, is still sanc tioned, provided such crimes can advance the interests of the Catholic Church. That such a policy at one time was in full vigour, and met the hearty support of the unprincipled men that occasionally filled the Pontifical chair, there can be no manner of doubt. Proofs are so numerous and palpable, that it is needless to cite one in stance. But let the Catholic priests remember, that though the policy is changed, prejudices have not changed with it, and that it becomes them in a crisis like this te show to the worldthat they make use of their vast influence itsliae cause of morality, and, above all, in saving their native land / from utter ruin. If a speedy end is not put to this system of assassina tion Ireland must decline every day in power and influence, and reviving prosperity be banished from the country. No capitalist will lend his money to such a people; no artisans will teach them; for Englishmen, brave and daring as they are, will flee before assassins, and Ireland must be left to the iron rule of the military power. As for repeal, if it were accomplished to-morrow, it would only add to the evil. It would drive capital entirely from the country ; it would not restore order; England would be constantly harassed by her nearest neighbour, and nothing but a second conquest could make her secure. Madrid journals of the 13th inst. have been received. It appears from some of them that General MAZZAREDO, Cap tain-General of Madrid, had resigned, and that both he and General CORDOVA bad given up their important offices on account of the offensive conduct of NARVARZ. The Eco del Comercio says, that at Saragossa not less than forty officers had been dismissed in one day. We infer front these move ments, as well as from symptoms of mutiny in some of the regiments, that NARVAEZ is beginning to lose his hold of the army, and that he is making every effort to recruit it with men suited to his views. The accounts from Catalonia, and especially the city of Barcelona, are rather alarming. What with the conscription, the new income-tax, and the wavering dispositions of the soldiers, and the reported at tempts of General PRIM, affairs in that quarter begin to wear a serious aspect. On the 13th the Three per Cents. closed at 371, at 60 days ; the Five per Cents., 24i, at 60 days; and the Coupons, at 261, at 60 days. Several of the Paris journals contain comments on the cir cular issued by the Minister of Commerce and Agriculture, to the prefects of departments relative to the quantity of corn in the country. All the important parts of that docu ment appeared in The Sun of yesterday, and the remarks in the journals furnish no additional facts. The National, how ever, will not believe what the Minister asserts, that alarm prevails, and calls upon the Government to adopt measures for preventing the exportation of provisions. With the ex ception of this discontented organ of the Republican party, we find no other journal containing any article of the slightest interest to Englishmen. In that paper, however, there is one relating to the entente cordiale, which we give as a curiosity. We believe most of our readers will perceive that it contains twice as many falsehoods as truths, and it is therefore needless to point them out. The writer takes for his text the late dispatch of Lord ABERDEEN to Sir EDMUND LYONS, ironically points to that as a proof of the entente cor diale, and then strings together numerous illustrations of his doctrine. "The whole system," says he, "of our foreign policy, as is well known, is involved in a single principle, the entente cordiale with England. This is the pivot of affairs the axis on which rolls all our diplomacy. It must be clang to as to a buckler, with which we are defended against abso lutist Europe. This has been repeated a hundred times. What, therefore, is the meaning of the ill-humour of the Debate? Why has it been so imprudent as to scold the conduct of Lord ABERDEEN in his rela tions with , treece ? The British Cabinet throws every kind of obstacle in the way of the CoLErn Ministry, and de , mands in sharp terms that the Greek Budget shall apply its surplus to the payment of its debt. England is not a cre ditor little suceptible about events. It would be better if she left the Greek Government time to liquidate its arrears, and to extricate itself, by means of a good administration, from the embarrassments which the past has created. It is thus that France wishes to act, but it is precisely for that reason that England pursues other designs. It is, therefore, the first time that the entente cordiale has been manifested under these ap pearances ? Since the last revolution in Greece, have the struggles between the diplomacy of the two nations been a secret for any one? Is there anything in the world so cor dial as the antipathy of MM. LYONS and PISCATORY ? Is there any one ignorant of the manner in which our Ambassador has been treated in the House of Commons, without Sir R. PEEL making any remark to the contrary? But Greece is only one SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MaRNIN'G, NOVEMBER, 22, 11 b, point, and opposition has shown itself there alone ; it might be said that the entente cordiale does not suffer from it, and that the most attached lovers are sometimes liable to little disputes. Look through the whole East, and show a single point where the two Powers are found to agree. Is it in the Libanus ? We protect the Maronites, of whom the Druses are the mortal enemies, and the Druses are under the pa tronage of England. Is it at Constantinople ? The struggle between M. DE BOURQUENEY and Sir S. CANNING has been more than once as notorious as it is between Mr. LYONS and M. PISCATORY. Is it in Egypt ? We have done everything to thwart the projects of the English in that country, and their rancour does not take the trouble of concealing itself. Where then is that cordiality of the two Governments ? The East is for them a theatre of discord. It is perhaps the West which beholds them embracing each other. Do we not, in fact, agree on the principal questions of western policy ? It is evident that in Spain, for instance, France and England act together. A great subject of discussion exists in that country—the QUEEN'S marriage ; the entente cordiale presents a single competitor for her hand. The same union is evidenced in our material interests. We only aim in the Peninsula at carrying into effect the commercial treaty so long solicited by England. We have both the same means of influencing NARVAEZ and CHRISTINA, and the same sentiments ! As to Belgium, which at present is endeavouring to extend her exchanges of goods, it is very evident that if France desires a customs' union with that country, England shares that wish, and endeavours to effect it ! And lastly, this mutual tenderness appears in particular in what relates to Algeria ; it is to serve our interests that Gibraltar furnishes ABD-EL-KADER with all possible assistance ; it is to prove her kind intentions that England has twice caused the failure of the treaties with Morocco. Our excel lent friend sees that our African possesions cost us much gold and many men. She regrets the blood that has been spilt, and the money fruitlessly expended, and she does all she can to indng us to abandon this territory! Sincere friendship ought 'to be marked with this severity It is, however, unfortunate that this severity manifests itself wherever we have interests to defend, and we defy any one to show us a point of Europe where the British Cabinet does not oppose our most legitimate desires for increasing our in fluence and commercial development. Need we call to mind the unworthy disputes about POMARE, the Marquesas, and New Zealand? If, in fine La Plata be excepted, where common interests have called forth a community of action, antagonism is perceptible everywhere, and everywhere at our expense." The following are the only other extracts from the papers of the least interest : lions the Puthans, a lawless tribe of Affghan origin, who were harbouring the murderers. He neither delivered up the homicides, nor expelled the obnoxious tribe, but begged fur additional time. This, however, could not be granted ; and it was rumoured at Hyderabad, that on failure of prompt compliance with the renewed demand of the Resident, the city was to be bombarded. " The King came to Paris on Tuesday, and held a Cabinet Coun cil, at which Marshal Soult was present. "M. Mandeville, the Chargé d'Affaires of England at the Argentine Republic, is in Paris, says one of the journals, and has had a private audience of M. Guizot. "The Railroad Commission, of which the Minister of Public Works is president, has commenced its sittings, for the purpose of examining the documents which have been sent in by companies offering themselves for the execution of the Paris and Strasbourg and Tours and Nantes lines. The result will be made known on Monday next, being the eve of the day fixed for the adjudication of these two lines. _ _ " Colonel Voisin, implicated in the landing of Prince Louis Na. poleon at Boulogne, and who received permission to pass in a maison de .anti; the imprisonment to which he was condemned, has just had remitted the remainder of his punishment, and been set at liberty. " The Journal du Havre states that the weather at Ha has bese for two days so bad, that several vessels have been obliged to put into that port from the damages they have sustained. The Newcastle collier Alexandrina, in coming in on Monday, got on the low riles to the south-east of the jetty. Every endeavour was made to wharp her off, but the cables broke, and she was of necessity left to her fate after saving the crew. She sank in the night. The Prague Gazette, in announcing the death of a n LEDE KAUKR, an Israelitish merchant, at the age of eeventy-one, states that about fifty years age) he arrived in that city on foot without money, but by force of industry and economy had since acquired a fortune of nearly 6,000,000 f, the greater part of which he has bequeathed for the encouragement of the arts and sciences, and commerce and manufactures, and for the relief of the unfortunate of all nations. About 2,500,000 f. have fallen to the benevolent institutions of the principal towns of Bohemia. Another panic in a small way took place on the Paris Bourse on Wednesday, attributed by some to the failure 'of two brokers who carried on much business, and by others to um - avourable news from America, and by a third party to the belief that several important lines would be announced for adjudication, and thereby throw more shares into the market. The fall was chiefly in the Share Market. After some fluctuation, Northern Shares fell 18 1 / 2 f. ; Orleans fell 16 1 / 2 f.; Rouen fell 20f.; Bordeaux fell 10f. ; Havre fell 15f. ; Fampoux fell 1 51. under par.

The bulk of this population, both British and American, is concentrated around the lower waters of the Co- I lumbia river, occupying, in its mass, a region not much more than 100 miles in length, from east to west, and probably not much more than 50 miles in breadth, from north to south. The eight or nine hundred men, who compose the British portion of this people, are all of them understood to be in the service of the Hudson Bay Company, and are engaged as hunters, trappers, or factors, in the fur trade. These men have their principal station—at once a trading post and a fort, called Fort Vancouver—on the river Columbia, about eighty miles in a straight line from its mouth. Thei e may be two or three farms in the possession of these British sub jects; but, as a general rule, they live by the fur trade, and do not till the soil at all. Besides Fort 'Vancouver, the Bay Company has some twenty other stations in various parts of the territory. But these are merely fortified stopping places for hunters and traders, and have each around them a little nucleus of a community of from three to four to about fifty to The American population of Oregon, on the other hand, numbering probably some feur thousand, is collected in the valley of the Wallamette river, which flows from the south into the Columbia, near Fort Vancouver. These Americans are farmers, graziers, and mechanics. They are a fixed po pulation. They live by tilling the soil. These men, having waited for years in vain for some action by Congress which should give them a government as American citizens, were, at the date of the last advicos from them, setting up a pro visional government for themselves, after the American fashion, and dividing out their new homestead into towns and counties, such as they had left in the United States. Such being practically the present political condition of the American farmers in Oregon, under the treaty stipulation of 1818, how is it with the British hunters and trappers of the same region? The answer may 1 - s' given in a few words. These few hundred British subjects in the service of the Hud son Bay Company, govern by their laws, enforced either in the courts of Canada, or by judicial officers of the Com pany on the spot, every inch of the whole territory of Oregon, save the few square miles actually under tillage by the Americans. Nor is this all. These servants of the Company have entirely monopolised, for some twenty years past, the whole of the most lucra tive occupations in Oregon—fur-hunting and fur-trading. They have driven every American citizen out of the business. Let an American trapper or hunter appear anywhere in the territory, and instantly two or three agents of the company establish themselves by his side furnished amply with specie and merchandise, to outbid him for furs, to call in Indian or white competition, and so break up his business. The indivi dual cannot stand against the organised and powerful com pany, His business is broken up, and hees to farming in; the valley of IVallamette. This is now flq gp regular course of things. This is practically the common use and enjoy ment of Oregon stipulated by the treaty—this, viz., the entire monopoly of the great fur trade there by one f the parties, added to the exclusive government by the same party of the whole of the soil of that vast territory, save only the farms which some four thousand Americans are tilling with their own hands. As early as 1828 the Hudson Bay Company had found their trade under these circum stances quite thriving. The proceeds of their trade for that year were, in round numbers 900,000 dollars. Their shares then stood 140 per cent. above par. Our readers will remember that when the Bill to extend a territorial Governmont over Oregon was before Congress last session, its opponents protested against it, because, as they alleged,'it violated the stipulation of 1818. How comes it, then, that the other party to that stipulation—admitting itself to be as Great Britain has, time after time, admitted, and now admits herself to be, the party out of possession, pending the negotiations—how conies it, then, that this other disseized party, at this moment, has eestended its laws in full force over the whole unoccupied territory? The mechanism by which this trick of political legerdemain has been played off, is at once very ingenious and thoroughly English. The British Cabinet has practised the manoeuvre in Asia, till now it has become wonderfully adroit. It is simply the Great East Indian juggle tried over again in the West. The apparatus, machinery, and fixtures, are just alike in the two cases. A great trading corporation, wielding millions of capital—with power to pass laws ; to maintain a civil establishment ; to maintain a military establish ment ; to collect revenue ; to hoist a flag of its own —not the Queen's flag ; to build forts; to keep six or eight armed vessels on the coast; to possess territory— all in the way of trade, of course, and to do all this under the eye of the British Parliament, acting for itself when Parliament chooses to disavow the responsibility of its acts ; acting for Parliament just when Parliament chooses to accept that responsibility—in one word, a great Empire Corporation in fact, with power to change itself, at the waving of the Minister's wand (" Presto," as the jugglers have it) into a most de mure, simple, harmless partnership of painstaking indi viduals trying to turn an honest penny in the way of the fur trade. This is the mechanism by which the miracle is easily wrought. In the time of the " merrie monarch' —easy King Charles—English policy amused itself with building two of these magnificent playthings—one for the east, which it called the East India Company ; ono for the west, which it called the Company of Hudson's Bay. How the oae has worked in the east, the world knows pretty well. The other, in the west, has not long since been put in fine order, by uniting itself ~with its rival, the North-West Com pany. Does this country—does Congress—wish to know how it will work in the west, in Oregon, if we only sit quietly by it as spectators,t and let it alone ? The problem is easily solved. We have only to turn to the lives of Robert Clive and of Warren Hastings, and ' read the pages which tell of their doings in Madras and Bombay 1 The following is the latest from Texas :—This new State is quiet ; our troops there have become completely Texan ised ; the.vote on the annexation question and to adopt the new constitution, polled on the 13th ult., was almost una nimous; the preparations for the election of State officers in December are active; the American feeling is powerful in all parts of the State, and the anti-annexationists are in bad odour Emigration was large, and increasing both from the United States and Europe ; the culture of cotton and sugar were becoming the wealth of the land. Texas, in a word has already become a Large and growing state. f The Great Western signalled the following vessels during the course of her passage : Nov. 6.—At 4.50, P.M., exchanged colours with - a Bremen barque, with 145 on white flag, entering New York harbour. Nov. 7.—At 4.50, Ext., in lat. 40.30, north long. 69.50 west, exchanged colours with the'American ship Susquehanna, bound to the westward; all well on board. Nov. 14.—At 4.30, A.M., in lat. 43.18, north long. 41.20 west, passed and exchanged cheers with the royal mail steam-ship Acadia, bound to the westward.

Nov. 20.—• At 10.30, A.m., passed and exchanged colours with the royal mail steamer Cambria, outward bound. LATEST COMMERCIAL.—NEW YORK, Nor. 6. The cotton market is dull. State stocks have a rather downward tendency. The all-important movement is in the corn market, of which the following is a summary of occurrences : Since our last the flour market has been quite inactive, and transactions limited—holders asking the recent advanced rates, and buyers not disposed to purchase, except at a re duction. Yesterday, sellers not so firm in their demands, but offered good brands of Genesee at 6 dollars 12i cents. Some lots taken at that, but buyers demand a further re duction, and under our present large receipts are likely to obtain it. Wheat, according to quality, at 125 dol. 30 c. The advices of the Great Western caused an advance in prices in - Boston. The latter accounts by the Caledonia pro duced another improvement. The reports of that market on the sth inst. says :—We notice sales at the close of 1,000 barrels Geneses at 6 dollars 25 cents., and holders quite firm. Prices of Southern are unsettled. Salesof George-town pre vious to the steamer's arrival at 5 dollars 75 cents. to 5 dol lars 87 cents, and since at 6 dollars; 1,000 barrels ditto, Hope Mills, taken for export, 7 dollars. The news from abroad affected the Albany, in common with all other markets. To the sth inst. flour had advanced fully 50 cents per barrel. Sales were made " Chamberlain" at 5 dollars 874 cents, " Safford" at 6 dollars, and some mixed brands of Ohio and Michigan at 5 dollars 874 cents. The range was 5 dollars 81 cents to 6 dollars. Barley was a little better. The Buffalo market on the 4th inst. was firm. Holders of good brands of flour were unwilling to sell under 4 dollars 44 cents., and buyers generally were not disposed to offer over 4 dollars 37i cents. Sales of Michigan at 4 dollars 44 cents., and Ohio at 4 dollars 374 cents. In wheat there was no dis position to operate at present prices, although both the upper and lower elevators were nearly filled. Our intelligence from Ohio is favourable for the next crop of wheat. If no untoward event prevents, it will be as great as in any former year. The increase in the shipments of flour from the interior to the Atlantic, sea board, has lately been very great. There were shipped from Rochester from the opening of navigation to Nov. 1, the following quantities : Bls. Flour. Bush. Wheat. 1845 416,238 ... 917,046 1844 Increase 91,661 196,625 The greater part of the increase has been since the intelli geece of short crops in England was received. That intelli gence gave an impulse to the trade in the interior almost un paralleled. his forthcoming message takes such a stand with regard to Oregon as is now foreshadowed by his intimate counsellors, and is sustained in it with anything more than words by Congress. The actual commencement of hostili ties must be more distant—we hope, far less probable—but the downward road is proverbially an easy one, and if the two nations once begin bullying, presuming on the forbearance of each other, who shall ensure a peaceful end of it? The nonsense which is habitually inflicted on an enduring public with regard to this matter would be sufficiently absurd to amuse if it were not crifhinal and perilous. Just think a our Tammany and kindred re selves that every foot of Oregon up to 54 deg. 40 min. belongs to us, and shall be maintained by the sword if necessary, when not one-tenth of these who yell "Ay" to the sentiment have ever examined the evidence or taken any pains to form an impartial judgment in the premises. It is by such yells as these, with corresponding abuse of " Fo reigners," " British," &c., that nations are plunged into the state of wholesale murder, universal destruction, and unimaginable misery, known as war. That a vast majority of our people are averse to a war for the insignificant territory actually in dispute, we do not believe ; but a good part of this majority prefer to sit in their slippers and easy chairs, and let public opinion be formed and di n sted mainly by Captain Rynders and gentlemen of his class. The former are only dragged forward in season to foot the Bill. That the evil we apprehend may yet be prevented by patriotism and firmness on the part of the more enlightended and virtuous portion of our citizens, we do indeed believe; but will it be? Judging from the result of our city election we should say not, decidedly. Let us all act for the best, and we may then fairly hope for it. COPPER AT THE WEST.—It appears by the accounts from Detroit, that the copper operations in the vicinity of Lake Superior have ceased. It is supposed that the operators have not met with their anticipated success. It is perhaps unfortunate for those who have invested their money in this sort of speculation, that the work of " getting out ere" should have so suddenly stopped. We shall soon see, however, what effect this movement will have upon the value of the copper stocks in market.—New York Herald. AMERICAN ICE TRADE.—The Shipping List gives the following account of the ice trade from this Fort the past year : Tons.

Total for five months 13,733 •Boston Journal, Nov. 5. CROPS IN TEXAS. The New Orleans Delta condenses the news of the state of the crops in Texas as follows : CORN Cnor.—The corn crop in the Red River and north ern counties has been greatly injured by the drought. The editor of the Northern Standard mentions that the neigh bourhood of Clarksville is the only section of the Red River counties where there will be much corn for sale. He states, also, the corn in the Choctaw Nation is burnt up. Fortu• nately for the people of that section, the crop of potatoes will be very abundant. CoTrox CROP.—The severe drought that prevailed during nearly the whole of the month of July and August, through out the western and middle counties of Texas, has materially injured the cotton crop. Along the whole line of the Colo rado, from Columbia to Austin, it is estimated, says the Houston Telegraph, that the crop will fall short nearly one- half. Of the Brazos above San Felipe, the planters will scarcely make more than two-thirds of an average crop; and on the Trinity the crep is as light as on the Colorado. In the eastern counties the crop is said to be better than it is in any of the counties west of the Trinity. It is probable that the whole crop of Texas will scarcely exceed ninety thou sand bales. Last year it was estimated at over one hundred thousand bales. _ There were shipped from Houston, from September 1, 1844, to August 31, 1845, eleven thousand three hundred and fifty-nine bales of cotton. (From the Neui Orleans Courier of October 25.) FROM HAVANNAIL—The brig Empresario, Captain Col lins, arrived here this morning from Havannah. The Vera Cruz steamer arrived at Havannah on the 6th, but brought no newspapers. The Picayune publishes a letter dated Vera Cruz, October 18, stating that there are four American cor vettes and two brigs at Sacrificios, and a steamer in sight, supposed to be the Mississippi. The letter says they are in constant expectation at Vera Cruz of a brush on the Rio Grande, which we know to be impossible. The Mexican Government (says the letter) has no means for carrying on a war; they Lave got into difficulties with the French Minis ter, and now they are about to do the came thing with the English. The house of Manning, M'lntush, and Co., bought the coinage at the mint of Guanajuato for a certain period, from Santa Anna, advancing the money on the contract; and now the Mexicans want to annul it, on the plea that Santa Anna's Government was only provisional. The Eng lish Minister has informed the Government that they must respect that contract, and all others made with English subjects. There was a disturbance in the city of Mexico on the 6th instant—a plot to seize the conducta, and to play some sort of a game with the names of Gomez Farias, Canalizo, and Santa Anna ; but it was discovered and prevented. There must be a revolution, ere long, in Mexico; there is so much corruption in the Government, and barbarism in the people, that things cannot remain as they are. TOW-BOAT EXPLOSION.—LAMENTABLE LOSS OF LIFE.— The tow-boat Persian, Captain Riddle, from:the Passes, with ships Thomas B. Wales and Tyrian in tow, burst her two starboard boilers, while under way, about half-past eight ' o'clock yesterday morning, two miles below the city, scald ing five and killing three persons, of whom the following is a list :—C, Crowley, first engineer, dangerously scalded ; George Clinton, mate, slightly scalded; Mr. Wagner, car penter, ditto; J. Arnold, pilot, ditto; Mr. Wood, steersman, ditto ; Patrick Donahoo, fireman, died on board the tow-boat Claiborne after reaching the city; two others, whose names we could not ascertain, died a short time after the accident. Captain Riddle and the second engineer escaped uninjured. The Persian had her boiler-deck carried away from the cabin forward, with both chimneys and pilot-house; the pilot and steersman were in the pilot-house at the time, and both escaped with slight injury. A piece of one of the boilers passed up through the cabin and hurricane deck. The tow boat Hercules brought up the wreek, the Claiborne the killed and wounded.—N. 0. Delta, Oct. 25. FROM THE BAY OF ARANSAB.—The United States trans port steam-boat Monmouth, Captain Baker, arrived here yes terday from Aransas Bay. She left there on the 16th inst. The army at Corpus Christi was in pretty good health, ex cept that few cases of dysentery had occnrred. Three hun dred Mexicans ventured within fifty miles of Corpus Christi a few days since in pursuit of a body of Camanches, which had been committing depredations on the settlements. The commander of the Mexicans, being an old acquaintance of Col. Kinney, sent word to him that he should have called to see him, but was fearful he might be censured. The Mon mouth met the steam-ship New York on the 20th inst., at nine o'clock, A.M., about thirty miles east of Galveston.—N. 0. Pic., 25th Oct. AIDING THE ESCAPE OF SLAVES.—The St. Louis Repub lican of Oct. 25th says :—" Last evening, a white man by the name of 1,1 illiam Fislar, who says he lives in Lincoln County, Mo., and an old free negro man called Richmond, who has been living here a long time, were caught by Capt. M‘Donough, just as they were pushing off in a skiff with a slave belonging to Mr. Curie, which they were about to con vey to Illinois. Two other negroes, supposed to be slaves, were on the shore, evidently waiting to be conveyed across, but on seeing the others arrested, took to their heels and escaped." OVERLAND MAIL INDIA AND CHINA We have received by our extraordinary express, in antici pation of the Indian Mail of the 15th October, our papers and correspondence to that date. Our dispatches bring the account of the death of Jowahir Singh, the Wuzeer, by the Seikh soldiery, in revenge for the death of Pechora Singh. The Queen-Mother continues to di rect the State affairs. Letters to the 24th from Lahore state that Meeean Prithee had at first been appointed to carry on provisionally the affairs of the State. Raja Lall Singh had been released; and Jewun Singh, who had not gone far, having been seized, received a good beating, but was set free. Lail Singh Mo rareea had hidden himself among his own troops. On the 24th Prithee Singh was deprived of the seals of office, and the Ranee assumed the full powers of Sirkar. There is no news from Sinde. The ex-King of Caubul died of cholera at Loodianah The Nizam's dominions continua disordered, and it is thought that hostilities will be resorted to. A civil war is threatening Burmah. There is nothing new from China.—Evening paper. PUNJAUB. (From the Bombay Times of Oct. 15.) There has been a fresh revolution in the Punjaub. Sirdar Juwahir Singh, the weak-minded and dissolute Minister, bas been murdered by a portion of the troops, in revenge for the death of Prince Peshora Singh, whose assassination he is supposed to have instigated. The direction of State affairs was by the last accounts in the hands of the Queen- Mother, though the majority of the soldiery were most anxious that Golaub Siugh should assume the post of Vizier, and had repeatedly entreated him to come to Lahore for that pur pose. The Maharajah, Dhuleep Singh, remains for the pre sent on the throne, but the troops have on more than one oc casion threatened to depose him, and elevate a son of the late Shere Singh's, so that his tenure of power can hardly be deemed very secure. There can be little doubt that this im • portant intelligence will have some effect on the views of the Governor• General in reference to the Punjaub. Sir Henry Harding° is expected to reach Agra about the 20th instant, and it is said he will meet the Commander-in- Chief at Meerut on the 15th proximo. The Delhi Gazette Extra of the 30th September contains the following extract of a letter from Somlal :—" Every ap pearance of a Punjaub war. Corps ordered up sharp to the frontier, and it is said a grand army is to be formed imme diately at Ferozepore." SINDE. We have accounts from Sukkur to the 29th ult., from Hyderabad to the Bth, and from Kurrachee to the 11th inst., but the news is of a very trifling and unimportant character. With the exception of a few cases of fever, there has been as yet no sickness amongst the troops at the two former places, and the latter maintains its reputation as a cool, agreeable, and healthy station. At Kanghur, however, a considerable number of the Legion Cavalry have been in hospital. (From the Agra Ukhbar.) The Queen's 80th Regiment leave Agra shortly for Um balls, and the 14th Light Dragoons are on their way from Bombay to this station; but whether they will remain here is doubtful. We understand that a seizure of boats, containing ammu nition, &c., en route to Lahore, and for the use of the Seikhs, has been made at Agra. Major Wood, of the Governor-General's suite, has arrived in Agra. DECCAN. The intelligence from Hyderabad, in the Deccan, is of a momentous character. A peon, attached to the British Re sidency, has been killed by some of the subjects of the Nizam. The Resident demanded that the murderers should be de livered up to justice; but his Highness, or his Government, was unable or unwilling to comply with this demand. After reference made to the Supreme Government, the Resident offered to the Nizam the alternative either of giving up the murderers within one month, or of expelling from his (tom:. CANADA. There is no particular news of importance from Canada. The health of the Governor-General continues comparatively good, and he regularly attends to his official duties. (From the New York Tribune). The OREGON QuEsTioN.—The first Monday in December will witness the assembling in Washington of a new Con gress, for a session which will doubtless be a long one, and probably make its mark on our country's annals. Mr. Polk, if we can judge from the indications given by his organ, has de cided not to compromise the Oregon difference, nor to sub mit it to arbitration, nor yet to allow the stipulated joint occupancy to continue. I His message will insist on our right to the whole region bounded by Mexico (Upper Cali fornia) on the south and Russian America on the north — that is, all the American continent west of the Rocky Moun tains between 42 deg. and 54 deg. 40 min. North latitude. To this extensive but ragged and mainly sterile region we have given the name of Oregon, and lay claim to it as our rightful, indisputable territory. Great Bri tain virtually says,—" You think your right to this re gien better than ours, but we think ours better than your —how shall we settle it ? We consider the country of little value, and don't want to quarrel with you about it. We will compromise, or arbitrate, or leave the matter as it is. Make your choice, or propose something better." " No," answers Mr. Polk, per order of the Empire Club, "we won't compromise, nor arbitrate, nor leave it as it is. We will take the whole at once, and take it by force if necessary. Get out of the way, or the locomo tive will run over you !" Now England, though she cannot consider Oregon worth a war, will not be bullied or driven out of it. She will say, " Messieurs Empires you cannot settle an honest difference with us in this unceremonious way. If you choose t o g o ahead in the rough-and-tumble fashion, we have a word to say. We will just send a fleet to the mouth of the Columbia, put a good fort there and garrison it with a couple of regiments, and if you choose to take it, we'll sec." This is the point to which we are now tending, and the mis chief-making portion of the press in each nation is in dulging in bullying, irritating remarks against the other nation, the English journals saying, " the United States dare not go to war with us—where will they sell their cotton p" and our total-depravity press responding, "England dare not resist our taking possession of Oregon—she can't possibly do without our cotton," and so on. They seem to forget on both sides that, if nations never went to war until a wise self-interest dictated such a course, peace would be unbroken and universal. But if each is left to calculate so confidently on the pru dence of the other, the Governments will yet be pushed into ! an attitude which will render inevitable a war or a loss of what duellists and cut-throats in general term honour. It is our national misfortune to have at this crisis a President too weak to recede from a false position, however horrible the consequences of persisting in it. We look, therefore, for in ternational trouble and difficulty, for deep-seated irritation and expensive armaments, for a paralysis of industry and revulsion in business, as not far distant if Mr. Polk in 1 FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, Nov. 18.—The average price of wheat in the week ending on Saturday, the 15th of November, was 241. 73c., and that of rye 18f. 76c. The exportation of both wheat and rye and of rye flour is prohibited. The Chamber continues the debate on the address. We are assured that the King has just invited the Com mercial Council of Brussels to make an arrangement with the Government for the purpose of suspending the city toll on butchers' meat, from the Ist of January to the 30th of June, 1846. The Rhenish Observer adds the following details relative to the marriage of Mademoiselle de Rosny to those pre viously published :—" The Duke of Bordeaux, as the head of the family of the Bourbons, presided at the ceremony, ac companied by the Duke de Blocas. The moment when the Duchess of Angouleme gave her benediction to the bride, was very affecting. The members of the Imperial family of Austria were not present at the wedding dinner • they retired i mm ediately after the religious ceremony. The Empress is aunt to the Prince of Lucca, and it is affirmed that she will leave her fortune to him. The Correspondent of the Cologne Gazette says that Prince Metternich was likewise present at the marriage. The Moniteur publishes an analysis of the various opinions on the probable causes of the disease in potatoes, presented to the Commission in the department of the interior by M. Bourson, Minister and Secretary of the Commission. MEMEL, Nov. s.—The lateistorms have caused considerable damage on our coasts. Three ships have run aground, the crews of which were happily saved. Two steamers, which, onithe 30th of last month, fired some guns as signals of dis tress, were happily towed into our road by the Hecla. One of these steamers was the Victoria, bound from London to St. Petersburgh, with between thirty and forty passengers ; it has suffered much damage, and had exhausted its stock of coals. The other, the Smertz, of fourteen guns, 250 men, of the Imperial Russian navy, bound from Cronstadt to Copenhagen, was considerably damaged.—Universal Prussian Gazette.

DEEP SEA FISIIING.—A letter addressed by Mr. Demp ster, to the editor of the Edinburgh Advertiser, on this subject, appears in another column. It appears to us that Mr. Dempster has well met the objections which have been made to the project for organising companies for the prosecution of deep sea fishing. It is of the utmost importance that means should be adopted without delay, to provide for the defi ciency of the potato crop. A cheap and good supply of fish woull go far to make that provision. We trust, therefore, that these companies will be organised forthwith.

CHINA. From China we have received some recent intelligence, the most important item of which is that the principal inhabi tants of Hong-Kong have adthessed a memorial to Lord Stanley, in which the miserable prospects of the colony, and the impolitic and oppressive nature of its Government, are graphically detailed. Backed as this will be by the repre sentations of Mr. Montgomery Martin, it cannot fail, we should think, to produce considerable effect. EGYPT. The British schooner Bruga, of Kircaldv, left Alexandria with no one on board but the captain, and has not been since heard of. It appears the captain, under the influence of temporary aberration of mind, produced by an attack of delirium tremens, dismissed the crew from onboard, and got the ship out of harbour alone. She was flax laden for ac count of a respectable English house here, and it is feared the vessel must be foundered, as we have had a succession of rough weather since. Measures are at length being taken by this Government with a view to turn the final adjustment of the transit of mails and passengers through Egypt. The details of the schemes have not been allowed to transpire. The Pacha has issued an edict, forbidding the export of corn from his territory for a period of three months, appre hending the past harvest may barely meet the consumption of the country. Trade is brisk, especially the import operations, which, until lately, were exceedingly languid. Merchants look for ward to improved consumption, and better prices for both Manchester and Birmingham manufactures. Exchanges rate on England by this packet at 95i- to 961; for good commercial paper at three months' date. AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING.

From the New York Herald of the 6th November, we ex tract the following on the subject of the Oregon question : The Washington Union is the official organ of Mr. Polk, and therefore the article from that paper, quoted by the Yew York Hereld, may be considered as the manifesto of the American Government in relation to this subject : SEMI-OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF THE AMERI CAN GOVERNMENT ON THE OREGON QUESTION. ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES--THE £RESIDENT'S FORTHCOMING MESSAGE. The relations between the United States and Europe form the great topic of conversation in all circles, and between all parties, at the present time, in this metropolis and all other parts of the country. The prospect of the serious differences between the two nations, leading to a collision, has been in creasing since the inaugural message of the President was commented upon in the British Parliament. Since that pe riod, public opinion in both countries has been giving new developments of the views and sentiments entertained, rela tive to their relations with each other, as expressed by the respective Governments. On this side of the water, on all hands the question is asked, what will be the temper of the President's message, and of the debates in the ensuing Congress? This important question has received, so far at least as regards the character of the message, and the policy determined upon by the Ad ministration, a full and explicit reply in a very important and extraordinary article, which has recently appeared in the columns of the President's organ at Washington. The Union —a newspaper published wider the auspices of the President and his Cabinet—published last Friday a leading article, de claring in the most unequivocal terms the absolute right of the United States to the whole of the Oregon territory down to the Russian line; and the manner in which this declara• tion is made reveals, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that it is a positive but informal annunciation of the President and the Cabinet previous to the opening of Congress. On this- point there can be no question. We always believed Mr. Polk's opinion, on this important question, to be as broad and as long as it is now represented to be. This opinion received strength and concurrence by developments made during the recent election in this great metropolis, and by the unanimity of all parties in the United States. The present Government of the United States, then, hr ,airly taken up its position on the Oregon question, declaring it to have the best title to that territory from the Mexican boundary on the south, to the Russian line on the north, thus excluding the British claim to any portion of that region. Such a declaration brings our Government, it will be at once perceived, into immediate collision with England, and the result no one can feretel. The interest and importance, therefore, of the coming session of Congress and of the Parliament of England ars in creased to an extent not easily to be exaggerated. Indeed, never within the last quarter of a century have we had a crisis at which more interest has attached to the proceed ings of the legislative bodies of both countries. We are in 'he commencement of a new era. Daily the nations of Europe are undergoing change, and forming new relations. France and England, former rivals on land and water, are now united in the closest brotherhood, and appear to be alarmed at the progress of the United States, and the in fluence which this country is destined to exert upon the des tinies of the world hereafter. Everything is in the womb of the future. We must wait with patience and fear on both sides of the water. VIEW OF THE AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION ON THE OREGON QUESTION. (From the Washington (official organ) Union Oct. 31.) During the late preside nti al canvass, it was said, in allusion to the Texan issue, "we are about voting on a question of national identity—on the question as to what and where our country shall henceforth be ?" So far as the Texan discus sion is concerned, that question is now substantially settled— the recent unsuccessful attempt at protest by the Whigs of New York city, to the contrary notwithstanding. But the same great question as to what and where our country shall be may come up in another and a still more imposing shape in the approaching Congress, and if so, it will form the great land question of this generation. We allude, of course, to what we call, with the fullest confidence, the American territory of Oregon. On this great subject, within the last three or four years, public sentiment has ripened fast. In the judgment of a vast majority of this nation, the time is rapidly approaching— or say, rather, has now come—when clear right in rela tion to this territory should embody itself in positive law. For more than twenty years, the people of the United States have seen what they regard as their indis putable title to this immense territory swamped in nego tiation. It was to be expected from the wisdom and true policy of the British Government that this negotiation, so barren heretofore of good result, when entered upon with a new Administration, which, in its identity of opinion on this subject, is as one man, and which is sustained in that opinion by an overwhelming mass and mastery of public sentiment— it was justly to be hoped of the wisdom of England, that the new negotiation, under such auspices, and in such hands, would, ere long, begin at least to secure, instead of defeating, as in past years it has defea ted, the great ends of interim Lionel justice. But, however this may be, w h e ther the negotiations suc ceed or fail, there can be no doubt that the democratic Con gress now about to assemble will have a great duty to do in relation to Oregon ; and we believe that, coming to 'Washing ton fresh from conference with their constituents, they will come:together resolved to do it. With the strong resolu tions of the Baltimore convention, and the manly and pa triotic inaugural words of the President yet vivid in our me mory, we cannot doubt that the Administration is fully pre pared to perform with firmness its constitutional duty of re commending to Congress all such meas ures aspay be deemed essential to the full and efficient protection of all our rights over every rod of that great domain on the shore of the Pa cific, which is, by an accumulated mass of title, the rightful property of the 'United States. Of these measures, and indeed of this whole topic of the American territory of Oregon, we shall have frequent occa sion to speak; and it may be well enough to consider for a moment, in the outset, the nature and the value of this our great territorial possession. This territory, lying between the Rocky Mo untains and the Pacific Ocean, drained mainly by the Columbia river, bounded on the north, the east, and the south by mountain chains, and on the west by the ocean, extends from lati tude 42 deg. to latitude 54 deg. 40 min. North. It con tains more than 400,000 square miles, that is, it is more than twice as large as France, and about half as large /IS All the States now subject to the Federal constitution. The American people claim, against all other nations, this whole domain as a part of their own soil. The climate, through out nearly its whole extent, is mild and temperate. Accounts vary somewhat as to its fertility and natural advantages; but no man doubts that it is capable of sustaining an im mense population, nor that, when so peopled, it will control the coa.inerce of the Pacific, and the oriental trade of the world. The present legal condition—the policy—of this important region, is quite extraordinary as it exists in theory ; but it is far more extraordinary as it stands in fact. In theory, and by treaty stipulation, this land, with all its navigable waters, has been, since 1828, open to the free and undis turbed use and enjoyment of the subjects of England and the citizens of the United States. To terminate this state of things, at the will of either of the' parties, only one year's notice is necessary. This common enjoyment by the two nations of all the ad vantages of a territory more than twice as large as France, being the somewhat singular theory and stipulated law of its condition, stands in yet more singular contrast to the state of things which has, in fact, grown up there within the last twenty years.
