not an official message to Congress, and did not carry with it the
importance which would in that case attach to it. The subject was

give one year's notice of such termination. He still believed that

tne motion for going into a committee of supply,
Lord J. RUSSELL called the attention of the house to that portion
of the address from the President of the United States relating to
the t tregon territory. It was asserted by the President that the
title of the United States to this territory was clear, and that it
would therefore be occupie t, and that the institutions of the United
States would be ultimately extended to it. The noble lord gave a
history of the discovery and colonisation of the Oregon territory,
and of the negociations which had taken 'Place in reference to it

and contended that our right to the territory
shOufd not

0 00-MILL.
He felt the difficulties of the case, and how little a minister could
say on the subject ; but having stated the nature of our right to
the territory, he would leave the matter with confidence in the
hands of the government.

Sir R. PEEL, was not surprised that the noble lord should have
taken this opportunity of expressing his opinions on the subject,
and would say that since the accession of the present government
to office they had negotiated with M . Tyler respecting the ( tregon
territory. Unhappily those negociations were not concluded before
Mr. Tyler quitted office; but though he had no official information
on the subject, he thoueht it probable that those negociations would
be continued. Notwithstanding the President's inaugural address
. . _
he t'

Leiiewai, nor of their being
brought to a favourable issue. Should it prove otherwise he would
not object to lay before the house all the documents relating to the
subject He must, however, express his regret that the President
of the United States, contrary to all usage, should have referred to
any other settlement than an amicable one, and still more at the
and temts"- whi"s

ne appeared to have made that reference.
•s the subject had been thus brought before them, he also would
state on the part of the government, that we too had rights in re

maintain them.
Lord J RUSSELL said that after what bad fallen from the right
hon. baronet, he would leave the matter altogether in the hands of
the government.
Mr. WA KLRY then moved for a copy of the warrant for opening
the letters of Mr. T. Duncombe.
Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the motion.
Sir J. GRAHAM said if he bad made any groundless charges, no
one would be more ready than himself to make renaratinn

siderable doubt on the transaction, and until these doubts were re-

Archdeacon Samuel Wilberforce has been appointed to
the deanery of Westminster.

The Bishop of Exeter has, it is said, put Mr. F. Hill,
one of the churchwardens of tielston, in the Ecclesiasti-
cal Court, for having removed the church plate, for
safety, from the church to his own house, in accordance
with the uniform practice of his predecessors, the►e being
no parish chest in which to dep sit it.—Cornwall Adver-
tiser. [We trust this is not true.]
The episcopal church of Scotland does not appear to
be free from the innovating s►,irit which has established
itself in this country. The Scotch papers state, that a
Sunday or two ago. the minister of an episcopalian con-
gregation at Brechin intimated, at the close of his sermon,
that he was ready to receive " am-cider confession" from
all who chose to avail themselves of his offer.

was Mr. Ward's own, then we have surely fresh C.IIIS.
to ask, why does he still affect to he a member of the
Church of England ?—/fforning Paper.
BANK NOTES.—It appears from a parliamentary paper
that in August last the notes tn circulation belonging to
the Bank of England amounted to £21.980,000 ; those
belonging to private banks, to £4,550,353 ; and those be-
longing to joint-stock banks ti £3,201,460. The bullion
in the coffe,s of the Bank amounted at the same time to
£15,227,000. The notes of the chartered, private, and
joint-stock banks of Scotland in circulation on the Ist of
February last amounted to £3,070,058; those of the Bank
of Ireland to £3,983,050 ; and those of private and joint-
stock banks in Ireland to £3,115,060. On the 16th of
August, 1844, the total liabilities of the Bank of England
amounted to £35,414,000, and the total assets to
£38,187,000. The notes in circulation amounted to
£21,324,000, and the bullion in the coffers of the Bank to
£15.579,000.

TOE IRON TRADr.—The iron market continues re-
markably firm, and holders are I,,oking forward to better
prices than even those already so .idvantageously obtained.
Nevettheless, considerable mix ety is felt by those not in-
competent to judge, respecting tf,e issue of this unn aural
re-action ; many maintain that the present high prices
are forced, and are indicative only of illegitimate specu-
lation—while others consider that the rates have reached
their maximum, and will shortly recede. Fi'oni inquiries,
however, which we have carefully instituted, we arc in-
formed that orders are still plentoill in all the iron esta-
blishments. A very large bu-ire-ss has been done in
Staff,rdshire during the week, although the price has sus-
tained, as we announced in our bst Journ-d, an advance
of £2 per ton. Notwithstanding the great increase in
this and Welsh metal, orden have been extensively re-
ceived both for foreign and home consumption, evincing,
certainty, an expectation that not only will the present
prices be maintained, but a further advan-e anticipated.
The heavy payments which fell due this week have been
met by the speculators with unexpected promptness, and
this circumstance has, doubtless, tended in no small de-
gree to create that confidence which has distinguished the
market for the last few days. Scotch pig maintains its
firm position, notwithstanding the attempts of some
holders who had purchased when the market was depres-
sed, and now sougbt to realize a t.rofit at the exp.-use of
the makers ; the quotation was £6 per ton, and Scotch
about the same. No Swedish was in hand, but sanguine
anticipations were entertained that the French and Bel-
gian governments would follow the example of Sardinia,
and remit, or at all events reduce, the duty on pig-iron;
and as the native supply for the construction of the con-
tinental railways will be wholly inadevate to the demand,
the step would certainly be warranted, more especially as
the benefits to the countries would more than compen-
sate for any temporary loss.-21fieing Jeered.
