The intelligence received of a schism having arisen between the
Senate and the house of Representatives of the Federal Republic,
upon the important question of the occupancy of Oregon, has been
the matter of much conversation among the mercantile interests this
morning. It is considered that a blow is thus struck at the Polk policy,
which must tend to advance the great principles of amity and of
commerce between the two countries. Indeed several men well
acquainted with the real state of feeling in the United States have
very confident assurances from the other side of the Atlantic that a
ruse has been played on' to get President Polk out of the somewhat
dangerous position he has placed himself in with the whole of the
St..tes, excepting the western, in urging on measures which,
if fully carried out, would render war inevitable. The
bulk of the mercantile interest here, as well as in America, are, of
course, averse to any interruption with the regular course of trade,
as ruin would attend such an event to hundreds of persons. There-
fore it is that this division, strange as it is it comparison with the
warlike tone previously expressed in former accounts from the United
States that both Ilouses of the Legislature were determined to assert
their right to the whole of Oregon, is held to be a sign that the rela-
tions with the Republic will not be disturbed. _ . .

The mercantile:markets are rather dull just now, and trade in
general does not seem to be brisk.
At a special meeting of the East India proprietors held• this
morning, annuities were voted unanimously to Sir H. Ilardinge and
General Gough. _ _ .

The Stock-Market is flat again this *morning, and there has been
very little doing even at the reduced quotations. Consols have been
9634 :;;; for present transfer, and % for time. On Exchequer-
bills the premium has been down to 255. and 225. Bank Stock has
been firm at 204%.
The Foteign Investments have been dull, and fluctuate but little.
Spanish Five per Cents. realise 244:j, and the Three per Cents. 37 to
36N. Portuguese Converted are 57%. Mexican Actives are better,
being 32% to 33 ; and for Account, 33?4. The Deferred are marked
15% to 16.
There is a very dull market for Railway Shares and Scrip, and
prices are flatter.
