are in truth far more dependsn, on England than
England is on them. Brtish commerce has oroa-
ted all the wealth Of New York, and of the other
principal towns throughout the federal Union. II
may be doubted. however, whether sound policy
does not dictate that Halifax and the chief towns
IN our North American provinces ought not to be
selected as empo,ia for British goods, and whether
such change in the passage Of our manufactured
commodities TO the hands OF consumers in the
United States might not be attended with the hap
pest effects our colonies, as well as on the
power Of England.
London, March 26h.--On Friday night Mr.
Charles Butler, who recently held high Office in
Canada under the administration Of tho Govern
ment there by Lord Durham. stated IL, as VIC on
Saturday mentioned TO be his opinion that more
proposiefous, or more unjust, claim was never
made by any nation than tina, of England to an OK
elusive jurisdiction in the territory in dispute be-
tween the province Of New Brunswick and the
state OF Maine. This assertion, confidently
enough delivered lord Pamerston rel -J,e6 the
hon. gentleman for having so indiscre prop,nade !;
and at the same time expressed his own decided
opinion that the claim WINS just one. and in per-
feet conformity with the agreement between Eng
lahd and the United States and which was TO the
effect that that portion of the territory in dispute
and recently taken POSSESSION of by the troops Of
the state of Muine should remain under the ex-
elusive jurisdiction Of England till the final settle
mont of tho boundary line. This opinion of Lord
Palmcrston is in direct opposition to that of the
President of the United States, who in his special
Message to Congress on the subject declares that
the agreement entered into contained no provision
that could be construed into an acknow Judgement
of such right in the British Government.
From the Iondou Bankers' Circular
1--WE are perfectly aware of the sensitive feeling
concerning national honor which pervades these
republicans; il is felt with vividness and intensity
unparalleled, because they have only just been adj
mitted into communion with the other great pow
ers of the world and are naturally proud of their
newly created dignity. This feeling Of watchful,
uneasy jealousy produced in great measure all the
incorporate speeches recently delivered in Con-
gress on the Maine question. Bot if we are
rightly instructed, il is feeling which cannot be
aroused among the great body OF the people for
any minor object, and it would be unreasonable to
expect that il should be much excited IN favor OF
the State of Maine, while the authorities of that
State exhibit contumncy for the decisions OF the
General Government. Comparatively insignificant:
as it is with it's half million of inhabitants. oil
the States in the Union would assemble to avenge
an insult committed against it but as no dan
not believe that any general sympathy would be
aroused 10 support of quarrel deprecated by
measure of the Executive Federal Government
under the hand of its chief Secretary Of State"
London, March 3l.--On Saturday (23d) the
sberiffs and the city remembrapccr waited upon

pose of learning upon what day her Majesty
