It will be seen that fifty-five causes in the first list, and
sixty-four in the second have now been disposed of.--ne
inconsiderable share of business to have been transacted
in seven days. It must, be remembered, however, that
the withdrawals have been very numerous, no fewer, upon
the whole, than fifty. 107 cases having now been cleared
from the list, there remain seventy-seven still for trial,
and arconest these, as we have said, are seventeen special
juries. With such an amount of business still before the
courts, it seems impossible that the assizet can terminate
sooner than Tuesday or Wednesday in the ensuing week.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(BY EXPRESS.)

HOUSE OF COM MONS.—YESTERDAY.
In answer to Lord G. Bentinck, Lord PALMERSTON

said that an offer of mediation had been made by her
Majesty's Government between the United States and
Mexico, but that then the question of the Oregon
territory had not been settled. The offer, therefore, only
amounted to this, that if the United States were disposed
to ask the mediation of this country, it would be imme-
diately offered. The United States, however, in conse-
quence of the then state of affairs, had not thought proper
to give any answer. As, however, the Oregon ques-
tion had been settled, and the treaty ratified, the British
government had thought proper to give instructions to
Mr. Pakenham to renew the offers of mediation on the
part of this country between the United States and Mex-
ico. That offer had now been made, and in such a form
as would require an answer from the government of the
United States.

Mr. DISRAELI considered the answer not at all satis-
factory, and was left speaking.

LONDON CORN EXCII 4N3E.-YESTKADAY,

At this day's market we had a fair supply of English Wheat.
The factors began by asking extravagant rates, which checked
the demand, but the market ultimately finished about 3s to 4s
dearer than this day week. A similar improvement WWI firmly
insisted on for bonded and free foreign, but the business trans..
acted was less extensive than on Friday.
We have large arrivals of foreign oats, in which there are
nearly 20,000 qrs. from the port of Archangel. The trade is
nearly Is. dearer for most descriptions than this day se'nnight,
but not so buoyant as last market day. Barley, malt, and
beans fully Is., and peas 2s. to 3s. higher.
