AMERICAN NEWS.

Extracts from the American papers brought by the Queen of
the West.
In Congress, upon the Oregon question,
Mr. Allan rose to ask whether the Senate was in possession
of any information in relation to the correspondence between
the Government of the United States and of Great Britain,
relative to the Oregon Territory.
Mr. Archer replied that no information had yet been re-
ceived on the subject, but that he would probably be able to
give the information to the Senate in a few days.
Mr. Allen stated that he had a petition from citizens of
Fairfield, Ohio, asking Congress to establish a Territorial Go-
vernment in dregon. The people of Oregon complained, with
reason, that their interests had been much neglected. Last
year, when the subject was pressed on the Senate, we were
told that Lord Ashburton had come over specially charged
with the settlement of this question. But when he arrived
here, it was found that he had no power over the subject, and
it did not appear that he had done anything. The people
of Oregon did not wish to be trifled with any longer on this
subject. He desired the petition to be referred to a Select
Committee, but it was referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs.

ANNEXATION.
Mr. Burke, of N. H., asked leave to introduce joint resolu-
tions for the admission of Texas into the Union.
This proposition was committed. It is similar to Mr.
Forster's plan. It gives the assent of Congress to the crea-
tion of the territory known as Texas into a new State; the
constitution of the said State to be laid before Congress by the
proper authorities of Texas, before the 4th of July, 1846 ; the
territory to be divided into new States, when its popula-
tion shall be sufficient; those States south of 36 degrees
30 minutes north latitude, to be admitted into the Union with
or without slavery, as their people may desire ; the boundaries
to be adjusted by treaty; Texas to pay her own debts, and
keep her own lands, but to order to the United States her
navy, dock-yards, ports, forts, harbour, public edifices, arms,
armaments, &c., pertaining to the public defence; all claims
for lands to be adjudicated by courts of Texas, subject to the
jurisdiction of the federal courts; said State, when admitted, to
have two senators and two representatives, until !the next
Congress.
The House resumed, in Committee of the Whole, the
consideration of the Resolutions for the annexation of Texas.
Mr. Ilowlin, of Mobile, spoke in favour of the measure,
contending that it was necessarily constitutional, because
the acquisition of territory was a right essential to national
sovereignty.. We have been continually acquiring territory
since the adoption of the Constitution. Nine States put the
Government in operation, and nine States elected General
Washington President, but we had since added seventeen
States.

Texas was a fine cotton growing country, and should she
make a treaty with Great Britain for the admission of her
cotton at a rate of duty a farthing less than ours, our staple
would be excluded from the market. The exportation of
cotton now nearly equalled our importations of foreign goods.
If ttill-exportation ceased, it would destroy our commerce.
If Texas remained independent, slavery would be perpetu-
ated in her limits, and her limits would soon include Mexico,
and Central America. But if Texas were admitted, her
boundaries would be permanently fixed, and the limits of
slavery would necessarily be defined. He preferred Mr.
Dromgoole's plan, but would vote for any other. He adopted
the motto of the people of Missouri, " Texas honourably,
Texas for ever."

Mr. Hamlin and Mr. Severance followed against the mea.
sure.

When the last named gentleman concluded, there was a
tremendous rush for the floor. I never witnessed such . a
scramble. At least 40 members were up, and eager to speak.
Among them was old Mr. Adams. Mr. Hammett obtained
the floor and will speak to-morrow.
Mr. Adams offered a resolution calling on the President to
state the bounds of the territory of Texas, as commonly un-
derstood by the people thereof.
PENNSYLVANIA.—In the Pennsylvania House of Represen-
tatives on Wednesday, the Committee of Ways and Means
reported a Bill appropriating the funds in the Treasury to the
payment of interest on the Ist of February; which, after some
time was taken up, was passed in Committee of the whole.
The Bill, says a correspondent of the Pennsylvanian, meets
with considerable opposition, but that opposition is not strong
enough to endanger its passage. The debate upon the ques-
tion has been interesting and instructive, and generally has
been strongly in favour of expending our last dollar in pay-
ment of our debts.

PENNSYLVANIA INTEREST.—The Pennsylvanian of yester-
day argues that the Bill which has just passed the Assembly
of that State, directing the February interest to be paid " out
ofany moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated,"
will be a nullity, because a large portion of the money in the
Treasury (598,405 dolls. 60c.) is otherwise appropriated. This
deducted from 846,449 63 dolls., the amount which the Trea-
surer estimates will be in the Treasury on the Ist of February,
will leave only 248,044 03 applicable to the payment of in-
terest. With this sum, the Pennsylvanian sarcastically re-
marks, "we are to pay 971,395 90 dolls." Said paper distinctly
recommends the non-payment of the February interest in
full, as it would " leave to the administration of Mr.
Shunk the unenviable necessity of a suspension next
August." We are sorry to hear such statements and recom-
mendations from a paper so respectable, and generally so
correct, as the Pennsylvanian. We hope and believe the
result will be better than its fears. With all the wealth and
prosperity of Pennsylvania, it can pay its interest—and the
world will not believe to the contrail,.

DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, FEB. 10.—On the night of the 6th of this
month, the Eliza, Captain Sharp, an English ship, bound
from Rye to Nieuport, with a cargo of wool, not being
able to enter that port on account of the violence of the
wind, was obliged to &c, to Ostend. The night being
dark, and the sea running very high, it missed the en-
trance, and run aground on the beach. The cargo is
being taken out. It is not yet known to what extent the
ship is damaged.
The severe frost that we have had for these three
days has again interrupted the navigation in the canals
of Charleroy and Willebroech.
The King has gone into mourning for eleven days, on
account of the death of her Imperial Highness the
Grand Duchess Elizabeth Machai Lowna, Duchess of
Nassau.

The Chamber of Representatives continues the dis-
cussion of the budget of the Department of the Interior.
The Senate has agreed to all the articles of the budget
of the Marine and to that for establishing a new mode
of sanctioning the laws.—Brussels papers, Feb. 11.
THE HAGUE, FEB. B.—We learn that as soon as our
Government was informed that a Netherland ship had
been captured and carried into Palama, which was bound
from Antwerp to Marseilles, and had a chest of arms on
board, instructions were immediately given to his Ma-
jesty's Minister at Madrid, and that he had already taken
the necessary steps. The. Consul of the Netherlands, at
Barcelona, has also done what belongs to his functions.
THE HAGUE, FEB. 9.—The sections of the Second
Chamber will resume their labours to-morrow (Monday).
They will examine the new regulations on standing or-
ders of the Chamber and the project of law for modify-
ing__the 9th chapter of the budget for the year 1846.47.
The ftte for the celebration of the 270th anniversary
of the foundation of the University of Leyden, on Sa-
turday, the Bth, passed off in the most satisfactory man-
ner. The masquerade, representing the entry of Count
Floris V. with the Knights of the new order of St.
James, just instituted by him, was extremely brilliant.

NORTHERN and EASTERN RAIL-
WAY COMPANY.
The half-yearly General Meeting of the Dire( tors and
Shareholders in this rail way took place yesterday at one
o'clock, in their board-room, above the terminus in Shore •
ditch, J. Patterson, Esq., the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, presided.
The Secretary having read the advertisement calling
the meeting, and the report of the Directors, in which
they stated thal they would be prep,ared, on the Ist of
March next, to pay a dividend of 5 per cent. per annum
on the paid-up capital of the Company for the half-year
ending the 31st of December last, and the dividends on the
respective shares of the Company would be 11. 2s. 6d.
per share on the registered shares (45/. paid); 2s. 3d. on
the shares (101 paid), and 10s. on' the scrip shares
(301. paid), subject, of course, to the property-tax.
The report also stated, that the receipts of the
Northern and Eastern Railway for the half-year ending
the 31st of December last, amount to 47,107/. 145.,
being an increase of 3,3401. ss. 5d., on the corresponding
half-year of 1843. The total receipts of the railway for
the whole of the past year, as compared with those of
1843, show an increase of 11,0571, 2s. 2d ; and that the
surplus property attached to the old line had been dis-
posed of; with the exception of some small pieces of
land, which may possibly be required for the traffic of
the railway ; and the sales had exceeded the estimated
Value. The only other matter of importance in the report
was the information that the works on the extension
line from Newport to Cambridge and to Brandon, via
Ely, hid been expedited by the Eastern Counties Com-
pany ; and the Proprietors of the Northern and4astern
Railway would learn with satisfaction that the, whole
line from Bishop's Stortford to those places would be
opened early in July next ; and as the Norwich and
Brandon Company would open their line at the same
period, railway communication would then be estab-
lished between London, the city of Norwich, and the
important town of Yarmouth, and the traffic of an ex-
tensive district of country would be attracted to the rail-
way. The balance of the traffic account, as stated in the
report of February last, was 1,8221. 6s. 10d. ; that ac-
count being now virtually brought to a close, a state-
ment was annexed to the present report, and the balance,
1031. 3s. 4d., will be carried to the credit of the capital
account.
Resolutions in accordance with the report were passed
unanimously, and the meeting then separated.
