THE “SUN" RAILWAY MAP.

We this day present to our readers a map exhibiting all
the English Railways in existence, in the course of forma-
tion, or projected. This map has been drawn by Mr.
James Wyld, the celebrated hydrographer, and has
been engraved by an entirely novel process. The
expense of its preparation has been very great,
but that expense has been well bestowed, because it has se-
cured accuracy of delineation, and elegance of execution
Of the first, the name of Mr. Wyld, whose maps are appealed
to as authorities in every part •f the world, is a sufficient
guarantee, while as regards the last, the map itself is its own
best witness. The manner in which the map has been got
up reflects the greatest credit on Mr. Wyld's taste, know.
ledge, and genius.

AMERICAN NEWTS.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, MAY 12.

Important accounts from Washington to the 21st ult., and
from New York to the 23d inclusive, have been received this
day by the packet ship Liverpool, Capt. Eldridge.
We learn by these advices that the Oregon notice passed
by the Senate had been amended by the House of Represen-
tatives. The amended form was rejected by the Senate, then
insisted upon by the House, and, ultimately, committees of
conference were appointed by the two Houses to compromise
the dispute. The members of the Senate Committee were
Messrs. Berien, Hayward, and Corwin ; those of the House,
Messrs. Ingersoll, Owen, and Hilliard. The amendments of
the House of Representatives were as follow :
Where, in the Senate resolution, one object of giving the
notice was declared to be, " that the attention of the two
Governments may be more earnestly and immediately de-
voted to renewed efforts for the amicable adjustment of all
their differences and disputes in respect to said territory," the
House substituted—" be the more earnestly directed to the
importance of a speedy adjustment of all their differences and
disputes in respect to said territory." The word "amicable,"
it will be observed, is here stricken out. The second section
of the Senate resolution authorises the President, at his dis-
cretion, to give the notice; the House proposes to authorise
and request the President to give the notice—the phrase " at
his discretion," being stricken out.
Should the Committee of Conference fail to arrive at an
understanding, and the Senate still refuse to " recede" from
its disagreement, the notice will entirely fail.
On the 18th ult. the Oregon Occupation Bill passed the
House of Representatives in the following amended shape_
ayes, :03 ; nays, 46 ;

" A Bill to protect the rights of American settlers in the ter-
ritory of Oregon until the termination of the joint occu-
pation of the same.
" Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
that the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the territory of
lowa, and the laws of said territory, so far as the same may
be applicable, as they now exist, are hereby extended over
all that portion of the territory of the United States which
lies west of the Rocky Mountains; and also over all that
portion of the intermediate country west of the Missouri
river, and between the 40th and 43d parallels of north lati-
tude. Provided, that this Act shall not be construed nor exe-
cuted in such a manner as to deprive the subjects of Great
Britain of any of the rights and privileges secured by the
treaty signed in London, October 20, 1818, and continued in
force by the treaty of August 6, 1827.
" Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, that all the country
described in the first section of this Act shall constitute one
judicial district, and a district court shall be held therein by
the judge to be appointed under this Act, at such tines and
places as he shall designate; and the said court shall possess
all the powers and authority vested in the present district
courts of the said territory of lowa. An additional justice of
the supreme court of the territory of lowa shall be appointed,
who shall hold his office by the same tenure, receive the same
compensation, and possess the same powers and authority as
