quote from the Norfolk Beacon (U.S.), of the same
date as this discussion), comprise the stock in trade—
so far as the " steam arm " is concerned—with which
this Bobadil would venture a collision with the " one
hundred and eleven war steamers," which the same
paper, in commenting on the inconsistency and folly
of the war party in Congress, reminds him that we
possess. The emancipated negroes in our West
India Islands, we calculate, would like nothing better
than to settle accounts for their less fortunate brethren
in the Southern States of the Union, with their re-
publican, freedom-prating, humanity-outraging op-
pressors.
The resolution seems to have boasted the support,
also, of Mr. HANNEGAN and Mr. BENTON. And to
be sure, they must have ent ;red into a copartnership
of intrepid allegations, which none but " whippers of
nine-times-their-own-length-in-wild-cats," would
have ventured on, in a Legislative Assembly. Mr.
HANNEGAN who " was not to be terrified by 1,000
Hudson's Bay Trappers,"—" then alluded to the
murder of 400 or 500 Americans." (A mere
casualty, we suppose, in Jonathan's estimate
of the value of human life ; just worth
" an allusion,". but not grave enough to make him
particular whether the number murdered was
four OR five hundred. Then we have an off-
hand interlocutory, thus :—) " Mr. BENTON.—
Yes : many of them my own friends." Mr.
HANNEGAN, unwilling to be behind hand with
Mr. BENTON, after this handsome intervention, pro-
ceeds :—" Yes ; 400,—0r 500 Americans" (he would
not for the world be more precise than Mr. B.)—
who have emigrated to that country have disap-
peared :—No one knows how, no one knows where,
The Hudson's Bay Company alone could tell." (! !)
Were it not that in a subsequent period of the de-
bate, the good sense and moderation which were dis•
played in either speeches were such as should redeem
the character of Congress from the disgrace of this
balderdash—very ridiculous, truly, but not the less'
unprincipled—we should blush, indeed, for the legis-
lative body which could tolerate, or dismiss, without
indignant repudiation, such gratuitous and scandalous
falsehoods as these. How it might very well happen that
400 or 500 American emigrants might not be again
seen by their countrymen after emigrating to Oregon,
—without this atrocious imputation on the Hudson's
Bay Company, of their wholesale murder—mayobe
collected from a remark in the speech of Mr.
DAYTON, of Ohio, against the resolution :—" The dis-
tance of Oregon was 18,000 miles by sea, and 5,000
by travelling route 3 by land ;"—the land journey, be it
observed, lying across the desolate and wide-spread
valleys interposed between the Mexican frontier in the
parallel of 42 deg. N., and the Rocky Moun-
tains ; or across the howling wastes of their
bleak and barren range, over which our en-
terprising MACKENZIE—who, of all Europeans,
had first trodden their lofty solitudes,—forced his
way from the North-Eastern regions of the same con-
tinent to the Pacific. The truth is, the Americans are
nettled at the inimitable management, the steady ef-
forts, the sagacious feeling, the undaunted enterprise,
and the brilliant success of our Hudson's Bay Com-
pany, in exploring the great peltry country within
and beyond the Oregon ; and in not merely following
up the animals, like back woodsmen, for indiscrimi-
nate and instant destruction, as they retreat before
them, but, in securing—by all proper means, such
as "preserving," the best hunting-grounds, &c.—fu-
ture annual supplies of the furs in which they trade.
The question of priority, or preference of right to
the disputed territory, we shall be better able to illus-
trate, in the course of a day or two, by a, review of
Mr. Thom's clever and interesting pamphlet, en-
titled " The Claims on the Oregon," &c. In the
meanwhile, our readers will not be displeased to
peruse an extract or two from the debate to which
we have been alluding. They are from the speeches
of Mr. CuoAtr., of Massachusetts, and Mr. DAYTON,
of Ohio; and are exceedingly illustrative both of
the character and relations of the contested region,
and of the feelings with which the war-cry, so openly
excited by the partisans of "appropriation," is re-
garded by the sound sense, and sober judgment, of
other Members of Congress.
Mr. CHOATE, of Massachusetts, said—
" The resolution of notice which Mr. Atcheson wished to
give Great Britain is, in effect, that twelve months from
this notice, we shall take forcible possession of the Oregon
territory. The claims of both countries will then come in
collision—bloody collision—upon the desert plains of Oregon.'
England had no more idea of an agricultural colooilation of
Oregon than she had of colonising the top 'of St. Pain
church ; but she only wished to protect the Hudson's Bay
and other English hunters; and these, as animals were be-
coming scarce in Oregon, were fast moving northwards to-
wards the Russian territory."
With regard to the ultimate settlement of the
Oregon question, Mr. CHOATE thinks that it will be
determined by the preponderance of numbers amortg
citizens of the United States, over every other class
of emigrants. What is stated of the Hudson's Bay
Cotnpany in the following passage, is also curious :
" The colonisation schemes of England were directed to-
wards Australia, Nova Scotia, Canada, &c. • but not to
Oregon. But from the United States, etnigrants would pour
over the Rocky Mountains by thousands and tens of thousands ;
and even with the present joint occupation, now that emi-
gration from this country to Oregon had become the rage,
the Hudson's Bay hunters and the few English settlers would
soon melt into an American population, under the influence,
the infallible influence, of the United States emigration. The
Hudson's Bay Company had recently bought out the Russian
Hunting Company ; they were, therefore, rapidly disappearing
from Oregon."

Mr. DAYTON, of Ohio, we are glad to perceive,
spoke under a deep sense of .the moral responsibility
of the Federal Government, its functionaries and
citizens, for their past dealings with the aboriginal
" red men" of the New Continent, which does him
honour. It is an awful page—a blotted record—in
the annals of civilised mankind, to which he lightly
but impressively alludes. We know but little, in
Europe, of the wholesale process of extermination
which has been carried on by the citizens of a State
professing its attachment to the inviolable rights of
human freedom against the native denizens of the wil-
derness.

" lle (Mr. Dayton) doubted whether the Oregon territory
was the terrestrial paradise it had been described; and he
thought that the sentiment in favour of emigration to Oregon
was not so universal as had been stated. Gentlemen seemed
to have forgotten that there were 340,000 Indian warriors in
that territorry. They, too, had their rights—rights that
ought to be respected ; but between an Anglo-Saxon irrup-
tion from the sea, and another from the Rocky Mountains,
they were in danger of being crushed. They would defend
their hunting grounds--we must not forget that—we must
treat them with justice and humanity—their fate, and the
fate of all the Indian races, would lie heavily on our souls at
the last great day."

Are we to punish only the criminal of yesterday, and
permit him to escape who can plead antiquity as an
offender ? Really, this h a new code in ethics for
which we little thought we should be indebted to a
Bishop of the Established Church ! We have read—

and that not long since—of a man having been con-
victed of a theft perpetrated upwards of twelve years
since ; but if this episcopal doctrine is to hold good
in law, as well as in clerical matters, such ancient
offenders will lenceforth escape with comparative
impunity ! Where was the righteous Bishop of Lox-
DON—he whose
_pious eyes are so shocked by the
passing and repassing of pleasure boats on the
Thames on Sundays—where was this mirror of
orthodoxy and Evangelism, when the monstrous
doctrine was propounded that a clergyman may
justly be treated with forbearance who can satisfac-
torily proye that the crime of which he is accused to
his Bishop, was committed " four years ago ?" Where,
we ask, was LONDON, when this doctrine was gravely
broached in Parliament ? "Echo answers, Where ?"

There is no section of London society more help-
less, and yet more worthy of sympathy—more desti-
tute, and yet more deserving of attention—than the
dress-makers and milliners of this great metropolis.
The speech of Mr. BRIGHT, on Friday evening last,
disclosed some startling facts. Can it be believed,
that in the very centre of civilization, females shall
be compelled to work for more than 20 hours out of the
24, and this for weeks together ?—That on any Satur-
day morning, at 2 o'clock, girls shall be called up, and
kept at labour until Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, a
period of 30 hours •without intermission ? And can it be
believed, that this has occurred in a Christian coun-
try, in a country which prides itself upon its legisla-
tion to prevent cruelty and unreasonable labour ?
We shall be delighted to give our best 'efforts in the
cause of the oppressed dress-makers and milliners of
London, knowing that we shall thereby aid a helpless
and a deserving class of females, whose birth and
whose education, in many instances, have fitted them
for better things than to sing the " Song of the Shirt,"
and to work themselves into disease and decline.

Madrid journals of the 10th have been received,
which contradict the capture of BONET, but confirm
the accounts published on Saturday of the surrender
of Alicant. General RONCALI, who seems to regret
exceedinglY that the insurgent Chief has eluded his
grasp, thus writes on the 6th of March to the Minister
of War :—" In spite of the measures of vigilance
which I had adopted, BONET succeeded in traversing
. our lines, with six or eight of his most decided ad-
herents, early in the morning of this day, suffering
nevertheless, the Are of my nearest posts, and the
consequences of my previously adopted precaution;
so that being closely pursued by detachments of
cavalry which I sent off for that purpose, Colonel
CONTEERAS, of the Lusitanian Regiment, being at
the head of one of them, the greater part of the
officers who accompanied him have already been
taken, and I flatter myself that BONET himself will
come to suffer with these persons the punishment
that the laws have appointed for traitors."
This dispatch is dated a day before that on which
BONET was said to be shot, and we therefore fear that
the first account will prove too true.
_ _._

Accounts from Carthagena of the same date men-
tion that the insurgents had made a sortie on the
previous day, with a force estimated by the Govern-
ment commander, General PARDERO, at 600 men,
which attacked the
eoxftrtheme tewleoftboafttatlhioenlsineofoGf irblOnclade at Escombreras,
the insurgents protecting the operation by the fire of
four coast-guard vessels which cannonaded the Go-
vernment position. The affair seems to have been a
severe one. The besiegers lost several men, and had
two officers killed.

But little business was transacted on the Madrid
Bourse on the 9th. The Three per Cents, closed at
30i for cash, and 301 at 60 days; and the Five per
Cents. at 224 at 60 days.

Most of the Paris papers advert in terms of com-
mendation to the public dinner given to Mr. O'CoN-
NELL at Covent-garden. The National forms an
exception, and seems utterly at a loss to comprehend
the political principles of a leader who wants to ex-
tend the rights of almost universal suffrage to the
Irish, while he is constantly attacking the Chartists
for advocating nearly the same measure. In allusion
to this speech, that journal says, " We shall not
analyse this harangue, of which the groundwork and
the form present nothing new or striking. But why
are the Chartists so incessantly the object of O'CON-
NELL'S anger ? Has he forgotten that he himself was
busied in drawing up the Charter which serves as
their watchword ? Is it because the Chartists
aim at serious reforms, which would strike at
the very heart of this abominable British COn-
stitution, of which wealth, bigotry, and birth constitute
so large a part, that there remains nothing else to the
rest but toil and misery ? Could it be also that, in
the ardour of their faith, they have consulted their
convictions rather than their strength—that they have
boldly proclaimed war in the name of the people ?
Could it be that their propagandism has penetrated
into Ireland, and that, in the midst of this population,
decimated by pauperism, where O'CONNELL always
preaches up resignation and peace, they have appealed
to less Christianlike and more manly sentiments ? If
this be the cause of O'CONNELL'S angry tirades
against the Chartists, we pity him for exhibiting
them. But it is neither in his power, nor that of any
other man to crush the bud that is growing, or to
prevent the future which is everywhere in preparation."
On the same topic the Constitutionnel has the same
just remarks :
" At the Covent-garden banquet he asked for nothing but
what was within the bounds of sense and reason, nothing but
what is practicable. He kept aside the question of repeal,
which has rio possible solution, but enlarged upon the mise-
ries of Ireland, on the partiality of the Government imposed
upon her, and the enormities committed there in the name of
justice; appealing to a jury of Englishmen against theury of
his own countrymen, by which he has been condemned. He
treated, in short, questions which, without wounding the na-
tional self-love ofhis hearers, excited a lively interest in the
breasts of all loyal Englishmen. Consequently, his success
was great, and if he perseveres in this course, if he does not
suffer himself to be led astray into his former aberrations, if
he does not resume his old theme of Repeal, he will obtain a
position against the Tory Ministry much stronger than that
which his agitation in Ireland gave him, and he will be much
nearer than ever to the attainment for his country of those
just reparations which he claims with such ardent solicitude,

Even the Courrier Francais looks upon the dis-
play with joy, and praises the English nation for its

generosity in forgetting and forgiving Mr. °ICON-.
NELL'S tirades against the Saxons. " Undoubtedly,"
it says, "the nation has shown itself to be more wise

than the Government. Whilst the Ministry only
testified for Ireland a cold pity, well calculated to
prolong enmity, and whilst it seemed to punish a suf-
fering race in the orator who represented them—,
whilst it perpetuated discord and antipathy in en-
deavouring to immolate O'CoriNELL to the union of
the two people, what has England done ? She has
taken the victim in her arms
fice into triumph, and thereby a
sincere reconcilia-
tion of the two nations is prepared, Tes, 1.1-gigil4
has conspired with the conspirator, ag#a4s with the

over his offences ! We can readily believe that the
knowledge of the delicate state of health of the Rev.
Mr. MARSH'S mother produced a most painful struggle
in the Bishop's mind, and that, for her sake—and
her's only—he acted as he has done; but he should have
resisted the amiable weakness, and remembered that his
first duty as a Christian Bishop was to protect the spi-
ritual interests of the flock committed to his care, by
providing them with moral, decorous, and trust-
worthy pastors, by whose sincere advocacy of reli-
gious truths they might profit, and to whom they
might look up with confidence as examples worthy to
be followed in all the social relations of life. Instead
of this, how stands the ease ? Why, thus—the Rev.
Mr. MAasn's parishioners have foryears been subject
to the ministrations of a man who has set all the de-
cencies of society at defiance ; who preached pub-
licly from the pulpit olsservances which he disre-
garded in private; and whose hypocrisy, conse-
quently, is an outrage on the feelings of his own im-
mediate flock, and a scandal and an injury to the
Churchgenerally. And this man, forsooth, is to be
visited leniently for his turpitiade, because he has an
aged invalid mother, whose feelings may be shocked
by his punishmeNt! Admitting that this plea is not
without its force, is it to be suffered to overrule
graver, higher, more comprehensive considerations—
the serious blow inflicted on the character of the
Church by an attempt to hush up so flagrant a scandal?
As for the Bishop's second excuse for his " backward-
ness," namely, that the offence was an old one, having
been committed four years ago., it is absolutely without
a leg to stand upon. What ! does crime cease to be
crime when it is of long standing ? Is it, like debt,
to have a " Statute of Limitations" accorded to it ? •

MEETING of PRIVATE COUNTRY

BANKERS.

The Deputation of Private Country Bankers were
very courteously received, on Saturday, by Sir
Robert Peel, who expressed his willingness to attend
to any suggestions which the Private Country Bankers
were prepared to make. He added, that he consi-
dered it inconsistent with his duty to disclose the in-
tention of her Majesty's Government, having declined
to make any communication in answer to similar
applications. Sir Robert Peel also stated that no
measure would be proposed until after the Easter
recess, and that ample time would intervene for the
consideration of the details of the measure after it
should be proposed.

O'CONNELL BANQUET AT COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.
—We have just seen an engraving illustrative of this
memorable public banquet, which, it may be remem-
bered was under the sole superintendence of Mr. Rouse,
of the White Conduit Tavern, who gave great satisfac-
tion by the completeness and liberality of his arrange-
ments. The engraving is very cleverly executed, and
gives a very vivid idea of the splendour and imposing
character of the grand banquet in question. The theatre,
as was actually the case, is represented as crowded to
the ceiling; pit, box, and gallery, all overflowing:with
occupants. On the stage, and across the boarded pit,
are placed long ranges of tables, at which the numerous
guests are seated ; and the moment selected by the
artist for representation, is that when the guest of the
evening, Mr. O'Connell, has just risen to return thanks
for the enthusiastic reception he has met with. The
plate is a highly creditable one, and will, no doubt, find
a ready sale among all who were present at the grand
banquet which it commemorates.

ILLNESS OF THE KING OF
SWEDEN.
The following are the latest bulletins of the King's health :
" MARCH 4.—His Majesty has had a tolerably quiet
night, and is nearly the same as for the last few days."
" MARCH s.—His Majesty had some good sleep, and felt
pretty well when he awoke, but at eleven o'clock this morn-
ing he fell into a fainting fit, which continued till a quarter
before one o'clock, when he recovered, and is now, though
very weak, in the same state as in the morning."

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
The very finest qualities of Wheat fresh up, were mostly
disposed of at prices about equal to those obtained on Mon-
day last. All other qualities had, in some instances, a down-
ward tendency, without, however, any actual depression
being observed in their general quotation. For Foreign
Wheat, free of duty, previous rates were supported. For
Grain underlock, prow were nominal. With the exception
of the finest Malting Barley being held with firmness, the
Barley trade was in a very sluggish state, at barely previous
currencies. For Malt there was no alteration of moment in
the quotations. The best Scotch Oats were quite as dear;
Irish were to be purchased on somewhat easier terms. Beans
and Peas at late rates. Flour at barely last week's prices.

NEW INvENTIoN
well known a§ ~-.41111. Pauling, of Manchester,
an extensive and successful contractor fo
railway works, is erecting machinery, on a very extensive
scale, for the purpose of executing almost every description
of joiner's work ; the special nbjOot being to effect the most
difficult parts,_ such #§ morticing and the malting of sash
frames, &o. *port says that this enterprising gentleinan
.has succeeded, and that the work thus tinished is in
; in Other terno, thgt It is not possible for mere han-
dicraft hibotlf tO Yi@ with the work finished by the invention,
he `g}'k4 are on a very extensive scale, and, if fully cut.
ployedn, will, of necessity, revolutionise this branch of the
buildig business.—Scot#mun,

agitator; and, on his side, the advocate of the repeal of
the union constitutes himself the preacher up of the
fraternal union of Ireland and Great Britain. Behold
him forming an alliance with the Saxons, and turning
against the aristocracy his eloquent and sarcastic
anger ! Nothing is finer, in our opinion, than this
intervention of England between her Government and
Ireland."

Several of the papers have articles on the conver-
sion of the Three-and-a-half per Cent. Stocks, and
express not a little astonishment at the apathy with
which such a vast financial change is viewed even by
the parties who will suffer by it. These French
writers are beginning to understand the character of
Englishmen, and will at last do them justice. We
have, therefore, great pleasure in giving the following
tribute to their honour, from the Siecle :
" It is assuredly a fine sight, an operation so colossal as
this ; done, as it is, without more trouble or embarrassment
in the finances of the country, than it would cost a banking-
house
to effect a simple operation in the funds. This proves
not only the solidity of public credit, when it has for its
basis the wealth of individuals and the good faith of States,
but, still more, it proves the progress that must have been
made in the science of finance, when a measure, which in
the preceding age would have been sufficient to have put a
Government in peril, should now be a simple matter, which
causes no derangement in the machinery of the Adminis-
tration. Whilst England is entering, with prudent courage
and perfect loyalty, upon the reduction of its debt, certain
Continental States, such as Belgium and the Neapolitan
Government, think to follow its example by simply violating
the engagements which they have contracted with their
creditors. There is the same difference between the proceed-
ings in the two cases that there is between a merchant who
pays his debts and a bankrupt who gives so much per cent. to
his creditors."

The reduction of the interest on the French Five
per Cents. forms also a topic of discussion in the
journals. A great majority of the Chambers, it is
said, is in favour of the plan, but the Government is
opposed to it. This belief has had a favourable effect
on the Funds. On Saturday the Five per Cents
closed at 121 f. 75c., and the Threes at 83f. 15c.
