meet with general approbation. Let her withdraw her armies
from the interior of the country, confine her operations to the
maritime districts of Algiers and Oran, form colonies in these
quarters, encourage trade and friendly intercourse with the
natives, and thereby establish their dominion by the blessed
effects of civilisation. In time the advantages would become
evident, and her territory in that part of the world would be
increased to an extent which all her wealth and her most
powerful armies cannot accomplish. The Chambers /11l be
compelled to come to this conclusion at last.

It has been but too often our lot to find grievous cause of
complaint in the mode adopted by some of the police consta-
bulary force in the exercise of that, perhaps too extensive
power, which the Act establishing and organising their body
has vested in them. Military discipline, a quasi-military uni-
form, military indulgences, and a sort of military esprit du
corps, all very good things in themselves, may be bad in com-
bination with a civil municipal establishment. The police
constabulary of the metropolis appeared to us, from its first
inauguration, to be much disparaged by these military incidents.
We much doubt whether its military usefulness is increased
by them. We are sure that the consistency of their character
with the general system of our old " watch and ward," such
as it exhibited prior to the abuses of the last 120 years, is
essentially destroyed. Whatever ridicule may have attached
to the imbecility and ineffectiveness of the watchmen as they
have existed since about the period of the Revolution—what-
ever objections may have been taken to them on account of
those deficiencies, which were but the natural results of their
miserable arrangement, wretched pay, and feeble manage-
ment—it cannot be denied that the system, as we derived it
from our Saxon and Norman ancestors, was good in
itself, and might have been, rendered excellent
by better remuneration, better control, and more
attention to their morale, on the part of parochial and civic
authorities. One advantage of their constitution was that
they were not, in virtue of their employment, segregated from
their fellow-citizens, but retained, with a communitypf privi-
leges, a community of feelings and interests with them. The
PEEL Police force is a very questionable, a more than spurious
copy of a French "gend'armerie,"wanting its arbitrary power
in their excess, indeed, but therefore wanting in an
enormous degree in their effectiveness. Not citizens, they
are not soldiers either. Nothing could be more ludicrous
than their assumption of the latter character, and
their attempts to shell themselves out of the former, were it
not for the incessant acts of unneeessary and brutal
outrage, to which this motley character, under-
stood neither by themselves nor their inferiors, is
perpetually prompting them. The late " manslaughter"
(as the verdict of the Coroner's jury against an inspector of
the force at Chipping Norton mildly terms it) is one of
the most flagrant and unpardonable of all the criminal de-
linquencies which, year after year, disgrace the annals of

this " pseudo-military-civil force," and are fast rendering it
a public nuisance instead of protection, and one which can-
not be much longer tolerated by a public of freemen.
What an example of respect for the laws, of self-possession,
of forbearance, of courage, of humanity, cf temper, does the case
of the scandalous and fatal assault committed by the ruffian
to whom we allude convey to the tenantry. Poor &ATTER,
if the account we copy from a provincial paper be correct in

its main particulars, was murdered; but if the accused, Norr,
is to have the benefit of the technical construction to be
put on the verdict of the inquest, when put on his trial at
assize, we do hope that the facts will be most accurately
weighed as well as deposed to. If Norr is innocent, he has
gone through the most surprising fatality in the world, in
thus killing a man without meaning to do it. If he be
guilty, the most signal punishment that ever was inflicted,
for a crime short of " murder" in its legal construction, ought
to be unhesitatingly inflicted upon him.

Madrid journals of the 10th have been received, but we
find little in them of interest to the English reader. From
all accounts the new tax was levied in Madrid with great
punctuality and rigidness. Three days of grace are giver.,
after which summary processes are instituted against the
goods of those who refuse to pay. It was reported that a
conspiracy had been discovered at Barcelona.
But little business was done in the Funds. The Three per
Cents. closed at 353/4 % for time, and the Debt without Inte-
rest at VA, ; the Five per Cents. remained the same as on the
Bth.

AMERICAN NEWS.

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.)

IMPORTANT FROM THE UNITED

STATES.
ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT BRITAIN.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY MORNING,
ONE O'CLOCK.

This noble vessel, whose arrival has been so anxiously ex-
pected for some days past, reached the Mersey about an hour
ago, having been towed over the bar, and up to her moor-
ings in the ebbing dock. On her way up the river she gave
notice of her approach by frequent discharges of cannon, and
a brilliant display of rockets, all of which, at the still and
solemn hour of midnight, had a grand and pleasing effect,
and surprised many who were not aware of the cause. The
Great Britain sailed from New York on the 28th ultimo,
but was obliged to use sail entirely for the last fortnight, as
the " screw" appears to have been carried away, at least no
less than five of the fan 3 thereon. The weather throughout
the voyage is reported as being unprecedentedly rough and
unfavourable—so that taking everything into consideration,
although the voyage has been rather a lengthened one, it is
nevertheless in some respects satisfactory, and speaks well
for the sailing powers of the ship when under canvass. She
brings 21 passengers and a pretty heavy mail. We have
received our files of New York papers of the 28th,
being, seven days later than those brought by the Rochester.
The news contained therein is of an important character, es-
pecially with reference to the Oregon question, on which the
New York papers are beginning once more to bestow whole
columns of heavy matter. In one of these it is stated that
Mr. Polk will take a stand in the Oregon matter in accord-
ance with the opinion he bas already expressed in his
inaugural address, and that nothing less than the whole terri-
tory will satisfy him. It is further stated that the President
has refused the offer of leaving the matter to a third party,
and that that refusal will be communicated to the British Go-
vernment by the letters sent per the Great Britain. On this
subject the New York Herald says,—

Two of the French Government papers contain articles on
the prospect of affairs in Algeria and the state of Morocco,
from which it is easy to gather that ABD-EL-KADER is more
powerful than ever, that he is idolised not only by his own fol-
lowers, but generally by the inhabitants of Morocco ; and should
the EMPEROR attempt to expel him, or put him down by
force, a general rebellion against his authority would ensue.
The enthusiasm of the people is excited to the highest pitch,
and ABD -EL-KADER is regarded as the only Chief in that
quarter capable of avenging their wrongs and reconquering
the land of Islam. " Advices," says the Epoque, "from
Djemma Ghazaouat inform us that the occurrences of the
latter end of September have made an extraordinary im-
pression throughout Morocco, especially in the Riff, where
tidings of the expedition directed by us against the E3IIR
in person are impatiently expected. ABD-EL-KADER'S
name is on every lip. All the tribes that hitherto
lived in almost a complete state of independence, now ac-
knowledge him whom they call the prince of believers, and
they are ready to march under his banner. The tribes of the
west of Algeria that have crossed the Tafna have been re-
ceived on the territory of Morocco with an enthusiasm that
cannot be described. But what is more serious still, is, that
the movement in favour of ABD-EL-KADER is spreading
with unheard-of rapidity, and that ABDERRHAMAN will
most probably be placed in the sad alternative of declaring
war against France or of being dethroned. It is not thought
that the E3IIR has returned to the province of Oran, in
hopes of conquering a part of Algeria; he has only wished to
strike a terrible blow, the first result of which has been to
place at his disposal the larger part of the Oran tribes.
General CAVAIGNAC must be informed of these events ; per-
haps he has entered into communication with the Kaid of
OCCIIDA, if the latter have not embraced the cause of ABD-
EL-KADER. We ought now to have a large corps d'annee
on the frontier, for the people beyond the Tafna are so excited
that we cannot adopt too many precautions."
The accounts in the Journal des Debats are not more sa-

tisfactory, and altogether it is evident that Marshal BUGF:AUD
must fight his battles over again. That paper concludes a
long article on the subject in these words :

" In the absence of official news, since General Lamoriciere's
movement in the direction of Mascara, many rrports have circu-
lated at Oran respecting the steps adopted by Abd-el-Kader, but
we find nothing positive in these ♦arious rumours. Some state him
to be encamped at the guetna of his father, Mahidden, between
Bel Abbas and Mascara; whilst others represent him to have re-
entered Morocco with the view of availing himself of a rebellion
said to have broken out against the Emperor Abderrhaman. AL

though Tangiers' letters of the 2d of October snake no mention of
a movement of this nature, there is every reason to believe that a
great effervescence prevails in that part of Morocco, extending to
the town of Taz3 and the Riff Mountains unto Ouchda and
our frontier. According to a letter from Oran, the
Emir's triumph at gidi Brahim, and the sight of three hun-
dred French heads, and three hundred prisoners whom he has
carried about afar, have kindled the most violent raptures among
that barbarian people. Their fanaticism and enthusiasm for the
holy war have increased at the aspect of the emigrated Algerian
tribes proclaiming that they can no longer live under the yoke of
the infidels, and that they have come to implore their brethren to
march with them and reconquer the land of Islam. These unfore.
seen events have produced an excitement which is carried unto
delirium. Abd-el-Kader's lieutenants are engaged in procuring
cantonments for his tribes in Morocco, in organising a sort of army,
and in inspiring a common plan in all these various people, who
may ultimately fight and plunder one another, but whose transient
concord seems likely to bring back affairs to the point they were
at when the battle of Isly took place. The Government of Mo-
rocco will no doubt be the first to understand the very critical po-
sition in which so confused a movement places it."

The position of the French in Africa, and the means for
extricating them from countless difficulties, will form the
most prominent topics of discussion in the ensuing session of
the Chambers. Year after year their affairs havebecome more
and more complicated, and while for a moment they had the
pi:sped of utterly subduing the indefatigable and enterprising
chief who has so long opposed them, some accident, some out-
break, or skilful military movement, on his part, disappointed
their hopes, and they were again reduced to the mortifyingcon-
dition of fighting for their very existence. Latterly affairs
have assumed a more serious aspect than any yet exhibited.
The spirit of the natives, and their enthusiasm, called by the i
French writers fanaticism, increase with their difficulties, and
they have assumed such a tone of defiance, and are so bent
on avenging their wrongs, that nothing but the total extir-
pation of the race will secure the territory to France.
What adds to the difficulties in which the French
Government has involved itself is, the total want
of sympathy in their system of subjugation, manifested
by all other nations. England does not stand
alone in this respect. The whole of Germany, Turkey of
course, and even Spain and Portugal, and we may add, every
civilised and uncivilised state, are opposed to this attempt
to conquer a vast territory by sheer force, by means, too,
hitherto unknown in regular warfare, and by acts of vio-
lence and cruelty, against which the whole of France has
indignantly raised its voice. What then are the Chambers
to do ? The present force, amounting to at least 120,000 men,
is unequal to the contest, and should ABD-EL-KADER suc-
ceed in rousing the whole population of Morocco
to his aid, a result now hardly to be doubted,
an army of 200,000 men would barely suffice to keep the hos-
tile tribes at bay. To conquer them is out of the question.
They will not amalgamate with the French; they prefer
death to slavery. They have the sympathy of the world
with them ; and as far as any one can judge of future events
by present appearances, the conquest of Algeria and Morocco
may be declared impossible. The French Chamber of Depu-
ties have repeatedly refused to vote sums demanded
by the Government as absolutely necessary to carry
on the war ; but what has been already demanded is a
trifle compared with what is in prospect. Another ominous
feature in this ill-managed scheme is the demoralisation of
the troops. The army is daily acquiring habits of predatory
warfare; it is constantly engaged in razzias, which means
carrying, off men, women, and children, with their herds and
flocks, and all the little property necessary for their
daily subsistence ; the troops are taught that this
is a part of their duty, and like good soldiers,
they, of course, obey the orders of Marshal
BUGEAUD, or those of his Lieutenant—the notorious PRIM..
STEIL This is a dangerous habit to infuse into regular
troops, and the more so when it is known that in these
inroads, razzias, and skirmishes with the Arabs, they are not
learning the ert of war, which may fit them for meeting
European armies—their generals, in fact, will soon forget
the regular tactics, and become leaders of divisions adapted
only to such ignoble achievements. The commotion
which is now general in Morocco must add even
to present difficulties, and give rise to changes which
cannot by any possibility turn out well for the invaders.
But on that subject we will not enter. We will merely
give the French Government and the Chambers a little
advice. They have been making war on an erroneous
system. It is radically bad, it never can succeed, and the
sooner it is abandoned the better. The French nation
has gained glory enough in its battles with the armies
of Europe; it can therefore afford to be magnanimous,
admittits error, and adopt a plan which would

Several of the journals make comments on a dispatch of
Lord ABERDEEN addressed to Sir EDMUND LYONS, the British
Minister at Athens.

THE OREGON QUESTION-POSITION OF MR. POLK'S

ADMINISTRATION.

From the intimations given forth in the organ of the President
at Washington, and also in the newspapers throughout the great
cities, there seems to be little doubt now that the President is de-
termined to stand by the position he assumed on the Oregon ques-
tion in his inaugural address, and that he will consider the title
of the United States to the whole territory as unequivocal and un.

questionable. Tkis impression of the intention of the President

as to his future course of action, is strengthened from the rumour
that he has rejected a proposition that was made to him, and made
a second time, by the present British Minister at Washington. It
will be recollected that Mr. Calhoun, during the time which be
occupied as Secretary of State, rejected all overtures relative to an
arbitration, or a mediation of the question covering the rights
of the United States to the Oregon territory. The corre-

pondence which passed between Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Pakenham,
at that time, is now in the possession of the Government at Wash..
ington, and will, most probably, be communicated to the next
Congress, as part of the documents accompanying the President's
Message. We have received positive information of the character
of that correspondence, and that it takes the highest and most in-
dependent ground on the Oregon question—a ground which now
appears to have been adopted, in every feature, by Mr. Polk, while
the same rumours indicate that Mr. Buchanan, the present Se-

cretary of State, was in favour o f a more conciliatory and less
independent course. This Oregon question, shaped and
formed as it is now believed to be by the present Ad-

ministration, will probably form one of the matt important sub-
jects of discussion at the next session of Congress, and will

create a great deal of controversy both in this country and is
Europe. If the President assume the highest and most inde-
pendent ground, declaring the rights of the United States over the
whole territory to be unquestionable, we have not a doubt that the
western and southern, and a large portion of the other
States, will pass resolutions terminating the joint occupation
by giving a year's notice, and proceed to organise that into a
regular territory. A position of this character would unques-
tionably produce a great deal of excitement in the British
government and amongst the British people, but we do
not apprehend that any serious difficulty could grow out
of it affecting the present relations of the two countries. England,
ever since the States repudiated, has been veiling her spleen in a
variety of ways through her newspapers and her journals, and fre-
quently in the Houses of Parliament. But we possess a power
over the Government and people of that country, which is a sort of
bond and mortgage on their peaceable behaviour—we mean the
cotton market—the monopoly of the cotton market—which is now
made still more certain than ever by the annexation and possession
of Texas. The passage of a law, organising the whole of the terri-
tory of the Oregon into an appinage of the Ignited States,
might create a great effervescence in England and appear to stimu-
late them to hostile measures; but such a result will never take
place in the present commercial relations of the two countries.
Yet there will be a flare-up and a great deal of noise, and vast
floods of invective, and fulmination of all manner of anathema of
the British press, with a double dose of the same materials and the
same charges which have characterised the attacks upon us during
the last five years. But we need not care for all that while we
are going on prospering and to prosper. In the meantime, we may
prepare fer a great excitement in Congress and throughout the
country, growing out of the position of the President on this im-
portant question.
The disagreement in the Cabinet on the subject of the
tariff and other important matters was still current. On
this subject we find the following in one of the papers be-
fore us :

THE EXPECTED CABINET EXPLOSION.-There seems to be a
general expectation in the public mind, judging from the newspaper
press, that the present Cabinet of Mr. Polk cannot long remain
without an explosion and recomposition of some kind. It is •ery
true that the organ of the President at Washington affects to be
very positive and very certain that ne President and Cabinet ever
lived together in such harmony as the present. But the very
violnet denunciations which proceed from the organ relative to the
rumours of disunion and explosion rather tend to produce a convic-
tion contrary to that anticipated and desired. Every rational
mind is, Indeed, persuaded that there exists some irreconcile-
able differences of opinion between the President and the members
of his Cabinet. It is now generally believed that there is a differ-
ence between the President and a portion of his Cabinet, not only
on the tariff, but also en the Oregon question, and that those who
differ from him are Mr. Buchannan, Mr. Marcy, and Mr. Bancroft,
the others siding with him. It is very evident, from the move-
ments of a certain portion of the democratic party in Pennsylvania,
in relation to the tariff, that Mr. Buchannan's friends, if they are
gnided by his opinions, are very hostile to the present position of
the Administration. Notwithstanding all that the Washington
Union may say so the contrary, we are prepared to see a recon-
struction of the Cabinet before six months have elapsed. Will the
organ positively declare that such a thing will not take place ?
Corrox Taans.—There has been ♦ery little change in this
market since the departure of the steamer on the 16th inst.
Prices have declined a fraction in consequence of the unfavourable
accounts from Europe by the last arrivals, but the stock in market
is so very limited that the transactions have been without much
change, having for the past mouth been only to a very moderate
extent.
A SHE& —A few sales of pots were made at 3 dolls. S7#; pearls,
4 dolls. 12i.
Corrox.—The market was very quiet to day, and the sales re-
ported do not amount to 500 bales. Prices exhibit no change.
Fun:ft.—Not much doing to day in the market. Prices were at
our last quotations—Genesee and Michigan at 5 dolls. 50.
There is some talk about sending a minister to Mexico to
demand payment of the delinquent instalments of the in-
demnity.

Lord ABERDEEN very properly declares that in case the
convention of the 14th September, 1843, is not carri€d into
full effect the British Government, as one of the guaranteed
Powers, will insist, as far as concerns itself, upon the strict
execution of the engagements stipulated in Article 12 above-
mentioned, by which Greece is bound to devote her first re-
venues, before all other engagements, to the payment of the in-
terest and sinking fund, and to provide for the payment of
this portion of the loan before any other claims on the re-
venue can be admitted. England is supported in this de-
mand by the Court of Russia, but France, it would appear,
takes a different view, and is inclined to support CoLETTI,
who has violated the engagement. Lord ABERDEEN con-
cludes his dispatch in these words, the truth of which must
be evident even to the most partial observer
" Thirteen years have already passed by since the kingdom of
Greece was constituted. During this period the three guaranteed
Powers have given to the Greek Government repeated and incon-
testible proofs of their indulgence and interest. But the period
has at length arrived when Greece, regularly constituted under the
institutions which she adopted freely, by her own choice, must
meet her engagements without making any fresh appeals to the allied
Powers for assistance.
" Great Britain will not interfere in the internal affairs of
Greece, because she is not disposed to do so, and because she
respects the independence of Greece. It is, however, evident that
if Greece desires to free herself from foreign eontrol, she should
make every effort to meet her pecuniary engagements, without
having recourse to the assistance of the guaranteed Powers."
The Journal des Debats says the remarks of his Lordship
on CoLErrl's Government may perhaps be too severe, and
the Siee'e admits the right of England to demand payment,
but, " England was not moved for one moment by all the
disorders which were committed in Preece when the affairs
of that country were under the direction of the leader of the
English party, lel. MAVZOCORDATO. She would still give her-
self but little uneasiness about the matter if the Minister
who replaces M. MAVROCORDATO were any other than M.
COLETTe. It is supposed that M. CoLETTI is well disposed
towards France, and hence, all the intrigues got up against
him under the protection of England. It will be demanded
of M. GinzoT in the Chambers what he has done for the
protection of Greece against the manoeuvres of our pretended
allies."

TIIE EARL OF GRANVILLE.—We learn from the
accounts received in town, last evening, from Roehampton,
that the Noble Earl continues in much the same state of
health.

MUNIFICENT DONATION.—The Hon. Colonel G.
F. Upton yesterday forwarded one hundred guineas in aid of
the funds of the Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of
the Chest, at Chelsea.

NEW CHURCH AT BIRCH, LANCASHIRE.—St.
James's Church, at Birch, is a very elegant structure in the
early English style, and is in every respect a striking in-
stance of the present tendency in church building. The esti-
mated cost is 3,500!., but this is exclusive of the spire. It
will accommodate 700 persons, 400 of the sittings being free.
The design is by Mr. Derick, of Oxford. The plan consists
of a nave and aisles, with the tower at the south-west angle,
a chancel, a chamber for the organ in the position of a north
aisle to the chancel, and a sacristy, north of the chancel. At
the west end will be a large double window, surmounted by a
quatrefoil, and in the aisles will be double windows. At the
east end will be a triplet, and a rose window. The cleres-
tory will have windows and arcades. The proportions of the
parts, throughout the whole church, are excellent, especially
in the piers and arches. The roof is an open timber one, of
very good design. All the arrangements of an old Gothic
church will be here reproduced ; and there will be sedilia,
credence-table, and piscina (?) When quite completed,
there will be a considerable amount of decoration ; and it
seems a judicious proceeding to provide for future decoration,
by leaving blocks of stone, which may be carved into bosses,
and corbels, as opportunity may arise,—The Builder.

CITY, QUARTER TO T111?EE.

There was a go(,d demand for Cotton at Liverpool yeAer-
day. The sales were about 4,000 bags, and the 'quotations
were well supported. 400 bales Maranham sold at 41,12 d. to
6d. ; 100 Bahia at 6d. ; 100 Egyptian at 6d., and 300 Surat
at 21V. to 374 d.
There was an increased business doing in Shares, and prices
were looking up.
A typographical error in the City article of yesterday ren-
dered a sentence incomplete. The point to which we di-
rected attention principally was, that "tons of silver
might be sent to the provinces in the shape of coin,
to meet the increasing demand, but which, like the
ebb and flow of the tide, will be used to pro •
mote the prosperity of the millions." Upon a careful
review of the returns which was made public yesterday of
the account of deposits that have been actually paid upon
fresh railway projects, we have every reason to express satis-
faction that the absorption of so large a sum as fifty millions,
or thereabouts, from the circulation of the country has led to
so limited a depreciation in the quotations of the public secu-

and for Money, from the reaction, has been precisely the same.
Money has become more plentiful. Exchequer-bills

now at 245. to 255. premium. The value of Bank Stock has
risen to 205. This is an improvent of 5 per cent. within a
week. The Reduced Three per Cents. and the Three-and-a
Quarter per Cents. are a . shade lower than they were
yesterday.
The Foreign Funds have not been in much demand to-day.
Belgic Five per Cents. have fallen from 97 to 96 ; Brazilian

firm at 58 ; the Spanish Three per Cents. at 38 LA. The
Dutch Four per Cents. have fluctuated from 94 to 94%.

The eclipse of the moon, on Thursday night, was
observable with great distinctness in Paris. The moon was
placed not far from Jupiter, in the part of the heavens where
the most brilliant constellations are found, such as Taurus,
Orion, and Castor and Pollux. A little after ten o'clock, the
planet became as if covered with a thick vapuur ; at nineteen
mintes past eleven, the disc began to be covered, and the
shadow of the earth continued to advance on it until within
two minutes to one in the morning. Eleven-twelfths of the
moon were obscured, and the remaining slight segment gave
forth a very uncertain light. By degrees, the earth's shadow
passed on, and in the space of an hour there weresuccessively
seen the various phases of the crescent, the first quarter, and
the full moon. At twenty seven minutes past two, the real
eclipse had ceased, but the effect of the penumbra lasted
until nearly three o'clock.— Galignani.
We are sorry to learn that the youthful family of
Viscount and Viscountess Villiers are suffering from an at-
tack of scarlet fever.
