jects of either nation should thereafter make settlements, the
subjects of the other were to have free access. Now the title
of Spain at this time was good against all the world but Eng-
land ; the title of England was admitted by Spain to be
good, in virtue of this treaty ; and the admission was
fortified by the fact, established in MEAREs's -case, surely,
of occupation as well as discovery and possession. When
Captain VANCOUVER arrived out in Nootka Sound again to
take possession, no " tracts of land" were to be discovered.
He was offered it hut, which he refused. Leaving the
sound in possession of the Spaniards, he took possession
of the coast in the way ridiculed by the Edinburgh
Reviewer, in what we contend, on the contrary, was a wise,
bold, and just conformity to the spirit of his instructions and
the rights of his Government. The Foreign Quarterly ob-
serves upon it :—" By this legal and official act the country
was annexed to the British Crown for ever. The act was
notified to the whole world : it was published under the
sanction of Government in VANCOUVER'S narrative—every-
body knew it, nobody disputed it. If Spain regarded this
act or declaration of sovereignty as an infringement of her
rights, she would have remonstrated or protested ; but she
did neither the one nor the other. On the contrary, she
abandoned from that hour the shores of the north-western
region, and has never appeared upon them since." We
intreat our readers, here, to remark, that this act of
sovereignty was done, •ot by a private individual, but
by a recognised agent of the Crown. It, therefore,
satisfies the very condition insisted on by the Edinburgh
Reviewer in stating the law of nations on this point. " The
acts by which sovereignty is acquired must be the acts of a
Government, not of unauthorised individuals. The acquisi-
tion of sovereignty is a grave act No title ip,
therefore, given, by the discoveries made by private adven-
turers. If they make settlements, these form no portion of
the territory of the state from which the unauthorised
settlers have proceeded. If they into treaties, such trea-
ties give them no right against either their own Government,
or any other." Now, in this case, the act of sovereignty was
made not only by a distinguished officer of the Crown, and
under the orders of the Crown, but enforcing the conditions
of a treaty negotiated between that Crown and another
sovereign power. In all these respects the pretensions of
America are UTTERLY deficient. No public officer has
even yet taken possession, on her behoof, of one foot of
land in Oregon ; no public servant of the United States
has executed any treaty touching any part of the Oregon.
Out of the five conditions, therefore, which the jurist,
who writes in the Edinburgh Review, insists upon as those
by which alone sovereignty over an unoccupied country can
be acquired, namely, " Discovery, Settlement, Contiguity,
Treaty, and Prescription," we have thus demonstrated that
England claims—and holds, too, by Settlement, Treaty, and
Prescription. Half a century since we had complied "with
all the legal and solemn conditions by which new territories
are annexed to the dominion of the Crown." As to the title
by discovery, it is eighty years ago since a Spaniard—
lIECETA—so far as the Colombia River is concerned, demo-
lished the possibility of the United States ever establishing
it (though they set it up), by being the first European to
find it and to enter it. At that time (1775) the Americans
knew nothing about the river itself, or the whole of that
territory through which it ran. It remains only to complete
the conditions of the British title to Oregon to speak of
"contiguity ;" and, with this head, we shall close our argu-
ment in support of the title of England to the Oregon,—we
dare hope not without having established it to the conviction
of our readers, unless there shall be a superior title set
out in the claim of America, as expounded by her own
Presidents, state officers, and diplomatists. Any such
title we pledge ourselves to disprove by the irrefragable
evidence of the documentary papers, &c., which tkey have
brought forward to establish it. "On the other hand," (we
quote here from the Foreign Quarterly), " if any political or
international ♦aloe can be reasonably attached to proximity
of position and comparative facility of access, the short and
easy transit which we can command from the remotest point
of our Canadian possessions to the shores of the Pacific, in-
vests us with geographical advantages which it would be
impolitic, not to say fruitless, to contest. Whatever be-
comes of Oregon, the English, who hold so vast a stretch of
country due east of the mountains, and who have long wielded
direct sway over the disputed territory itself, through the nu-
merous locations of the Hudson's Bay Company, must al-
ways exercise an inevitable influence over its destinies. If
Oregon were ceded to the United States to-morrow, British in-
fluence must still predominate from the source of the Colombia
to the sea ; a state of things which, so far from producing
any practical benefits to the Union, would be attended by
disastrous consequences, sooner or later."

It remains only now to examine the pretensions affirmed
by the United States, first in respect of their amazing claim
to the discovery of the Colombia River by Captain GRAY ;
second, their derivative title under treaty with France, and
through France from Spain.

A letter from Constantinople, published in the Augsburg
Gazette, says—" The Grand Duke CONSTA-NTEIE leaves to-
morrow for Italy; he will not visit Greece. The Prince has
not accepted the presents intended for him by the Porte. Of
all the members of the diplomatic corps, M. LECOY is the only
one he has given audience to."
A Frankfort journal states, from Athens, June 26, that a
proposition made by M. Cor.Errt, to send a deputation to
Constantinop compliment the Grand Duke CONSTANTINIt
and invite hini.ipTisit Athens, had not been acceded to by
the Ministry, as it was considered inopportune to make any
public demonstration in his favour, under the existing state
of affairs. The KING, it is said, will send one of his aides-
de-camp with an autograph congratulatory letter.

We have received Madrid papers to the 14th instant. The
decree against the press, which is censured by even some of
the Ministerial journals, appears to have produced a deep im -
pression. On the 15th all the editors of the periodical press
were to meet, in order to agree as to the best course to be
pursued. The meeting was expected to present considerable
interest.

The lier aldo, the organ of the Ministry, expresses its ap-
proval of the decree, in defence of which it reproduces the ar-
guments of the Ministers in their report to the QUEE:4/.
The accounts received from Barcelona state that the move-
ment is entirely put down. The conscription was proceeding
with.

MADRID BOURSE, JULY 14.—Three per Cents., 28 for
cash, and 28 9-16 for Account ; Five per Cents. for Ac-
count, 20%.

The French papers of Sunday, which arrived this morning,
are chiefly filled with comments on the recent decree issued
in Spain against the press. The Presse alone (the organ of
CnrusTlNA) ventures to defend it. The Journal des Debats,
and all the other journals, speak of it as putting the seal on
the reactionary movement of the Spanish Government. The
Opposition journals speculate on the approaching dissolution
of the Chambers. The Presse, however, states, and appa-
rently from authority, that there is no intention to dissolve
the present Chamber immediately.

Don CARLOS and his consort are stated to have left Bourges
on the 17th for Greoulx, accompanied by M. DR FINAN, Aide-
de-camp to Marshal SOULT, the President of the Council and
Minister of War.

LATEST FROM AMERICA.
(EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.)
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY NIGHT.
The Joshua Bates, which left Boston on the 2d inst., ar••
rived here this evening, and bring papers from that city till
the same data, but their contents do not add anything to the
accounts previously received. The accounts respecting the
crops are rather encouraging. Harvest operations had com-
menced in several districts : the wheat is said to be of good
quality, and a tolerable yield.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn-hall to-day.
HILLS •. CIOLE-JUDGMENT.

The Loa• CWANCELLOR gave judgment in this ease, which came
before his Lordship some time since upon appeal from the de-
cision of the Vice-Chancellor of England refusing to grant an
injunction to restrain the defendant from acting otherwise
than according to the agreement formerly entered into between
him and Hills, and also for buying acid from another person than
Hilts. It appeared that Crole had obtained two patents for the
purpose of purifying gas, and the result of that purification was the
production of muriate of ammonia and the sulphate of ammonia. The
plaintiff and defendant entered into an agreement, the effect of
which was, that Crole was to purchase all the acids from Hills, and
Hills was to purchase all the ammonia from Crole; and there was
an additional stipulation that all parties to whom licenses
were granted were to purchase their acids from Hills, and
Hills was to purchase from them all the ammonia. Hills
having the option of supplying sulphate of ammonia,
or muriate of ammonia. Subsequently, a more modified agree.
ment was entered into, which, it was contended had been put an
end to, and the plaintiff filed his bill to have the original agree-
ment specifically performed, and also for an injunction in the
meantime. The Vice-Chancellor of England refused to grant the
injunction, and his Lordship, considering that judgment correct,
ordered the appeal motion to be dismissed, with costs.
The Court, after disposing of one or two other cases, proceeded
to hear the further arguments in the part-heard case of Taylor v.
Wylde, which occupied his Lordship the whole morning.

The other Equity Courts were occupied the whole slay with cause
petitions of no general interest.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THES DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHILL.)
RAIMISON V. OREINWOOD.
_ _

The plaintiffs in ti;lsacti; are founders and engineers, and the
defendant is a builder, in Portland-town. The claire was for the
balance of an account for goods sold and delivered. The original
amount of the demand was 484 55. 5d., but the defendant had
paid 401., and a further sum of 41. into Court, disputing the balance
as being overcharge. The items consisted of stoves and numerous
other articles.

The UNDRIL.SHERIFIP said it was next to impossible to do jus-
tice by evidence given in this way before a Jury. In such a case
it would be much better to refer the matter.
Mr. Cooper, for the plaintiff, and Mr. Thomas, for defendant,
assented. Mr. Cooper, however, insisted that the costs should
abide the event.

The UNDER•SHIRIPP asked whether they did not usually?
Mr. COOPER said No. Referees generally acted on what they
considered equitable principles, and made each party pay his own
costs.

The reference was agreed to as proposed by Mr. Cooper.
FLETCHER V. ROGERS.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 91. 55., the
balange of an account for work and labour done, and the hire of a
horse and cart. The plaintiff was formerly a soap.boiler in
Whitechapel, but gave up business, and became Journeyman for
the defendant, who resides in John street, Hoxton.

Mr. THOMAS, for the defendant, contended that the amount
already paid was all that was due, and that the plaintiff Lad so ad.
!rated on being dismissed, but, afterwards, in very gross language,
said he would be revenged. The charge for the horse and cart was
Bs. a day, although it was only used jointly with defendant, and
there was a further charge for stabling. He had charged 21. 2s,

a week for his labour, although hs discharge arose from his Igno-
rance, by which defendant lost wtween 301. and 50/. Plaintiff
had paid him at the rate of 30s. a week up to the day of his dis-
charge, when he made out his bill and gave a receipt. Witnesses
were called who deposed to those ACM The plaintiff had been paid
71. 7s.—Verdict for the defendan..

The Overland Express is the only arrival we have to-day,
and the accounts relative to the state of trade are much the
same as those last to hand. Perhaps, on the whole, they do
not describe them as being so active; but this is not remark-
able, because the best season had passed. Caution in making
shipments of goods to India ought still to be repeatedly en-
forced as the best, and, in short, only means of keeping the
markets in a healthy state.
The colonies have exhibited certain signs of revival of
prosperity, which cannot but be cheering. The Directors of
the Union Bank of Australia made a very able report to
their shareholders yesterday, and, withal, a very impartial
one ; and from the statements in it there is every reason to
conclude that our southern colonies will soon be again free of
their embarrassments. The bank is, itself, by the good di-
vidend which it continues to yield, the best proof that there
are the elements of renewed confidence and prosperity, if
the Australians will but refrain from speculation.
The Public Securities are to-day without any particular
alteration, and with a fair business doing. Consols have

Bank Stock is worth 2101,4 to 2111,£. The New Three-and-

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
(PROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)

I have attended Liverpool races now for many years in succes-
sion, and I think I never witnessed a fuller attendance of com-
pany than were present last week. The sport, if not first-rate,
was still very respectable, and 1 doubt not, after the comments
which have been so properly made by the press, that an alteration
will be made in the time of declaring the acceptances for the Cup.
There is only one drawback, I am aware, attending the Liverpool
Races, and that has been felt by almost every person I am
acquainted with. 1 allude to the danger experienced in returning
from the cot.rse to the town. The getting back from Epsom is
nothing to it : and I can only estimate the danger by comparing
it to that which is experienced by a passenger going or returning
from London to Gravesend in a steamer on a Sunday, when eighteen
hundred people are crammed into a vessel capable of holding only
four hundred with any degree of comfort.
The Croxteth Stakes was remarkable more for the re-introduc-
tion of the Lancashire Witch Into the racing world, than any-
thing else_ Upon her making her appearance she was much
scrutinised, and the result of the race showed that the odds laid
against her were not done so without great reason. Few mares have
fallen orso much fromitheir two-yr-old running as MrsA'orihington's.
Trueboy, the favourite, displayed again his "favourite trick"
of " shutting up" directly he was called upon. It will be a long
time, I think, before his friends will trust him with any more
money. The winner was not mentioned in the ring, and is a nice-
looking illy. For the Mersey Stakes, Princess Alice was again
beaten, much to the chagrin of her backers. Luminary is the first
of Launcelot's stock that has been out, and her success will, no
doubt, give her sire a lift in the estimation of breeders. In the
Plate that followed, the stable companion of Rowena played a very
creditable part. It is somewhat remarkable that nearly all the
Slanes that have yet been seen in public have been winners.
For the Cup Nat brought Lothario in (as I told my readers
last week he would) in front of sixteen others, including Hesel.
tine's crack Winesour. A great many apologies are made for this
horse's defeat, but I never imagined he had the slightest chance.
Although he was run against, surely in a race of two miles there
was time enough for him to reco►er his position. Rowena's place
at the finish, and the running of the Slane colt, deservedly raised
Rowena in the betting for the Goodwood Stakes, and makes Daw-
son's lot a dangerous one to stand against.
In the Derby Handicap, Sweetmeat, another of my selections,
followed up her success at Ascot, beating Godfrey and eighteen
others. Lothario was very foolishly started for this, and although
much inconvenienced by being hung upon, yet was only beaten
by a length and a head. After this they took 18 to I about him
for the stakes.

The Stanley Stakes were won by that game little animal, Mid-
lothian, beating, among others, Pluto, Hope, and the Lancashire
Witch. Hope, my favourite, next to Pluto, was the favourite, at
7to 4, but was not even placed. Had the distance been longer I
think Pluto would have won. Lord Warwick's Yardley has at last
won a race for his owner, and beside putting a gcod stake in his
pocket, caused a handsome salver to be added to the family plate
chest. I know not who is the author of the inscription engraved
upon it, but I must say, a better one I never perused. Such a tes-
timonial must have been most gratifying to his Lordship. The
Ironmaster's runiiing to.day completely destroyed the hopes of his
numerous hackers for the Goodwood Cup.
The Liverpool St. Leger was a most exciting race. Under an
impression that Mentor would not run, I selected t'antasa for my
winner, and he was only beaten a head, after a race three seconds
and a half faster than the one between Ithuriel and Red Deer, last
year. The betting, after it was over on the Doncaster St. Leger,
was most unaccountable, Mentor being backed at 8 to 1, and the
Welsh horse at 20 to 1. I expect to see the latter's position,
however, materially improved before long, The Baron, I hear, is
gone to John Scott's to get that improvement he so evidently re-
quired ; had he been ever so fit, the manner its which he was ridden
was sufficient to have destroyed his chance of winning.
The Newton Meeting, which may not inappropriately be termed
the Goodwood of the North, commences tomorrow, with every
probability of good sport. For the Gold Cup twenty-three horses
have been left in, and the following are their respective merits :
Robert de Gorham has the top weight, 9st, assigned to him;
had he been obliged to have carried the Tower of London, it
would have made no difference, as he broke down a fortnight; ago
at Carlisle, and is now for sale. The Shadow, Bst 91b—looking
at her running last week for the Queen's Plate—is too much
stumped up to make me think she has any chance. Trueboy, Bst 91b,
cannot be trusted for sixpence. Aristotle, Bst 81b, if all right,
ought to run very forward. Winesour, Bst 71b, I cannot have, after
his exhibition last week. Ratan, 7st 121 b, will find the weight too
much for him, and Semiseria, 7st 81b, the distance too long.
Parthian, 7st 71b, I think, will beat all the others. Erebus and
Juvenal, I consider, have no chance. Cataract's legs Ido not think
will last him for such a distance as this. Little Hampton is well
in, and will run in front. Fitzallen, 3 yrs, 3st 31b, after his long
rest, will, if he starts, have, I imagine, a very fair chance of putting
into his owner's pocket the money he cost him at Chester. Sinbad,
Cock Robin, Agriculture, April Noddy, and Winyard, I think,
will not start, so entering into a discussion of their merits is use-
less. After a careful examination, therefore, of their qualities, I
think, in the large field that will be sure to start for it, Parthian
Rill be found first at the winning post, and Constable, Little
Hampton, and Fitzallen in close attendance.

In the Drawing. Room Stakes Thalia can hardly find one superior
to herself.

The St. Leger will be a nice race between Pluto and Fitsallen,
and will be won by the former, as the distance suits him better
than it did at Liverpool.

The Golborne Stakes seems booked to Lord Harry.
For Sir John Gerard's Cup I prefer most Parthian and Godfrey.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUP.

Sm,—The meeting at Newton, under the stewardship of
Sir J. Gerard and Mr. Legh, commences on Wednesday
with the Lyme Park Produce Stakes, which will, in all pro-
bability, be nothing more than a " walk over" for Lena.
The Gold Cup, out of thirty-eight nominations, has twenty-
two acceptances; out of these about eleven will run, whicL, I
suppose, will be the following, viz :—Winesour, Parthian,
Juvenal, Cock Robin, Semiseria, Lightning, April Noddy,
Little Hampton, Sinbad, Pedometer, and Trueboy. I shall
look to Mr. Meiklam for the winner, expecting to see Little
Hampton and Winesour close up. The Drawing-Rosin
Stakes to Thalia, Proserpine handy.
On Thursday the St. Leger Stakes will bring a crack field
of four to the post, viz. !—Hope, Pluto, Fitzallen, and Iron-
master, who will ❑o
.doubt pass the chair as I have placed
them.

The Golborne Stakes look well for Lord Harry or The
Traverser, Brutus and Thalia being the next best.

The late running at Liverpool for the St. Leger has dis-
closed a " great fact," and which ought to be borne in mind,
with respect to the Doncaster St. Leger. and that is, that
Mentor, in first-rate condition, could barely beat Pantasa
" a head," the latter animal being just now considerably too
stout to run such a distance with ease to himself. I shall,
therefore, advise my readers to give an eye to Pantasa for the
great northern event.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.,

The horses quoted may be divided into two classes—viz.,
those in and those out of favour. The first comprehends
Boarding School Miss, Venus, .iEgis, Lightning, Miss Elis,
the Laird o' Cockpen, and Wee Pet. It is right to add, how-
ever, that the odds taken by the Wee Pet and Laird o' Cockpen
Commissioners were 20 to 1, two points less than were offered
later in the day.—Very little was done on Pythia, and the dis-
position to lay against Rowena, Queen Mab, John o' Gaunt,
Warp, Lothario, and Una, was unmistakable.

GOODWOOD Cur.

Offers to take 20 to 1 about My Old Hack.
The following affiche met our eye on entering the room :
" Mr. Forth has declared that Faugh-a-ballagh will not start
for the Goodwood Cup, and states that he does not expect he
shall have anything out of his stable to run for it." The an-
nouncement was made officially by Messrs. Weatherby. Al-
though not formally declared, Stomacher, of course, dis-
appeared. Of her ailment we have heard nothing, and of
Faugh-a-ballagh we only know by report that he has been
under a suspicion of lameness for a considerable period. Va-
lerian, who was first noticed at Liverpool, became first favourite
at 5 to 1 (takers of 6 to 1), and a few bets were made in small
sums about St. Lawrence, Ironmaster, and Refraction. We
give the prices as nearly as we could make them out, hut
cannot pledge ourselves to their entire accuracy.
