fications shall be exchanged at London at the expiration of
six months from the date hereof, or sooner if possible.

arms.

Done at Washington the 15th day of June, in the year of
our Lord 184 G.

JAMES BUCHANAN.
RICHARD PAKENHAM.

Attentive readers will not fail to remark what may be
called the very unusual form at least in which Mr. Polk de-
sired to give the notice; an autograph from sovereign to so-
vereign ! J. K. Polk, President of the Yankee Doodles, to
Victoria, Queen of the Bull family!
Well might Mr. M'Lane express doubt whether such a
form of communication would be "deemed admissible ;" and
we ara still left in doubt whether the autograph of President
Polk was presented "to her Majesty in person," instead of
passing, as all preceding matters connected with the nego-
tiation have, through the state departments of the two
countries.

The invariable usage of our country has been, we believe,
to deal with foreign countries through our Secretary of State
and the corresponding officer of such countries, and not, as is
sometimes done in Europe, directly from monarch to monarch.
But the severe democracy of Mr. Polk seems to have pleased
itself with the notion of addressing himself directly to his
well-beloved cousin Queen Victoria, and, to obtain this gra-
tification, to have snatched a grace beyond the reach of our
diplomatic precedents. This is no great matter, to be sure,
but it looks silly.

TarifTßill,
oinfEcrroggss, furnishes commercial news of interest
Since the sailing of the last steamer there have been many
important matters that have claimed a good deal of public
attention. The news of the repeal of the corn-laws is an im•
portant event, and will have a sensible effect on the trade of
the city. The exports of wheat, rye, corn, and flour, as well
as some other articles, have been uncommonly large for this
season of the year. Nor has the disposition to ship abated,
but, on the contrary, within a few days the purchases of flour
have increased.
The action of Congress, just now, is of unusual interest.
The tariff question has been discussed and finally settled. In
the Senate the parties were so equally balanced that the
question was settled by the casting vote of the Vice-Presi-
dent. The result will create a sensation throughout the
country, and will be one that will materially effect the coming
elections.
The war with Mexico still continues, with no prospect
whatever of a speedy termination. It is a fruitful source of
expenditure—so much so that Government have been au-
thorised to issue 10,000,000 of Treasury notes, and this is
considered but the beginning of the amount that will be
required.
The appropriations of Congress, it is believed, before the
session closes, will reach 70,000,000 of dollars, a sum that
will exhaust all the revenue in the treasury, and require a
very large amount of loans.
Money is sufficiently plentiful for all practical purposes.
The banks discount freely four and six months' paper, at
current rates, par. The passage of the tariff has had no
effect on the markets so far.
Exchange on England continues depressef o
seldom reached. Sterling Bills are selling at 107* to 1071,
which is much below the relative value of specie. This de-
pression will probably continue for some months. The tariff
will not go into effect till December; orders for goods will,
consequently, be suspended until that period.
Importations are now very light, and for four months to
come will continue to be small.
Freights have been unusally good for the whole season.
The shipments of cotton, flour, wheat, and rye have been
unusually large, and continue. All the packets as well as
transient ships have been taken up readily, and rates have
been generally low, but not advanced from what they usually
are at this season.
The wheat crop throughout the country is now harvested.
In the great grain growing districts of the west, with but
few sections excepted, the yield has been most abundant.
For other descriptions of grain prospects are most flattering.
We ere now in the midst of the dullest season of business.
The trade of the city is small at present. The fall trade
commences in a few weeks.

ROGUE.—A man, named Joseph Pye, a flagger
and slater, who assisted the Preston Temperance Excursion
Committee to get up the cheap trip to Liverpool on Thurs-
day week, was deputed on Monday last to call upon the
parties who had sold tickets, to collect the money, in order
that it might be paid over to the Railway Company. He_
succeeded in collecting about 180 i., with which he decreicil;
and although two persons were immedtatey dispatchedw
as traced as
pursuit, lie has not yet been
. discovered.
