| TIE QREGoN-It is time that the question
of jurisdiction over the Oregon territory,
now mooted by the English and this govern.
ment, were examined and the facts clearly
ascerlained and settled, whether we are enli-
tied to that county. as is generally believed,
or whether the English can claim it accord
ing to the law of nations. The longer
hat the adjustment of this question is delay
ed the more difficult il will be to come to an
amicable settlement. The Hudson Bay com
pany already act as if the whole of the coun-
try west of the Rocky Mountains belonged
to Great Britain, to the great deiriment of
American citizens, who are engaged in SINH
lar undertakings, and struggling with difficult
ties thus thrown in their way.-4ner. Jour.
The St. Louis Gazette says that the value
of the furs and peltries obtained by the Ame-
rican Fur company, the last yea, consisting
Of beaver, buffalo, otter, dear skins, &C., is
about $250,000. Their operations have
been much circumscribed recently, on the
west, by the Hudson Bay company, who
possesses the great advantage of Introducing
the goods required for carrying on the trade,
free of duty. In the Rocky Mountain expe.
dition undertaken two or three years since,
by the American Fur company, they sustain
ed loss of 100000, being unable to com
|pete with the Hudson Bay company, for tn e
reason above stated. The branch Of the
latter company, in the Colombia. has obtain
ed the present season about one hundred packs
of beaver, worth al leas, $40 900, two-thirds
of which has been taken on the territory
claimed by the United States, With this
competition the American Fur company have
ound it necessary to confne their trade to
the Missouri river and its tributaries, leaving
the uncontrolled possession of the Rocky
Mountains and the Oregon territory to the
E rgish company.
We learn from the Gazette that the Hud-
son Bay company now extend their trade on
tn is side OF the mountains, even to within
Eff teen days travel Of the city of ST. Louis
an many of the fur hunters, who were
for mery in the service of the Americans,
have found it necessary to apply for employ
me mt to the British company. The editor
fur Their says that he should not be surprised
10 ind within year or two, that Great Bril-
tain lays claim to some three or four of the
ives stern counties Of Missouri, as they now
clai m portion of the state of Maine.

Tobacco Trade. The Baltimore mar
ket for this article has been brisk for a
considerable time past, and during the
present week, as will be seen by our
weeklyreport in another column, has been
quite animated. The weekly inspections
have averaged about 1000 hogsheads for
some months back, and this week they
reach 1924 hogsheads. Notwithstanding
these unusual supplies, prices have been
well sustained, and no stocks of nome mt

A BANK WORTH HAvING-It is cry
often heard in these times, that banks
won't discount We know bank whose
vault is we'll stored with the richest trea-
'sures, which is open to all who are dis
posed to apply, and which, through all the
pressure, has been us ready to discount as
in the most prosperous time. Gentle read
Ter ! if you are contentto quit speculation,
and willing simply TO make your mark,
you can be accommodated. This bank
has perpetual charter, and is known as
the Grand Bank Of Terra Firma an ell
trance may be found upon the sunny side
of most of our hills.
Its keys, which you must grasp without
gloves, are the plough, the spade, and
the hoe. The only security it requires
is industry, endorsed by temperance, and
it seldom offers any hing bit substantial
currency. Those who have made them
selves lean by complaining Of hard times
and the scarcity of money, need only try
one experiment, and the sooner they
take the responsibility the better. Ap.
plication should be made early in the
season.

Take care of yoau Feet.-Thecircum

Take care Of your F'eet.-Thecircum-
stances in which wet feet and cold feet are
most apt to cause disease, are when the
person remains inactive, and where, con-
sequently, there is nothing to counterbal-
ance the unequal flow of blood which then
takes place towards the internal parts for
it is well known that a person in ordinary
health may walk about or work in the
open air with wet feet for hours together
without any injury, provided he put on
dry stockings and shoes Immediately on
coming home. 1t is, therefore, not the
mere state of wetness that causes the evil,
but the check to perspiration, and the UNI
equal distribution of the blood to which
the accompanying GOODNESS gives rise

O@rag2.-On the 10th Of September,
says the Boston Alas, great outrage was
committed at Chippewa, within the British
Idominions, on DR., Page, Of Virginia, and the
party with whom he was travelling. Shortly
after the Americans landed, with their coorcd
servants, the hotel 10 which they went was
surrounded by black troops, which had col
ccicl for the ayowed purpose of carrying of
the servants Of the American gentlemen.
They were rude and menaeng in language
and manner, causing great alarm to the ladies'.
No white military officer could be found, but
a lieutenant, who said that his men were in
state Of mutiny, and that lie could not control
them. Application was made 10 a magis-
trate, by the name Of Swan, but he refused to
interfere. After some hours, a company Of the
Odd, or Highland regiment, was marched to
the relief of the Americans, from distance
Of two or three miles. When this company
made its appearance, the mutineers retired to
their barracks. No mems were adopted TO
punish them, nor any apology offered to the
injured parry. These facts we have just re-
ceved from the lips Of DR.. Page, who is now
in this city.-BQH Clipper.

In the event of the emperor's death the
government will devove upon regency,
for the reason that the heir to the throne,
is only mere child, and regency in the
past history Of China, has been but an
other for anarchy. Amidst The con-
fusion of the empire, an invader would
meet with no very serious obstacles-con-
quest, however, would not be the policy of
Great Britain-the establishment of COM
merctal advantages upon its own terms,
