ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.


The Steamship CALEDONIA, Capt. Lott,
arrived at Boston a, 6 ID o'clock Friday
morning. She left Liverpool on the fth
inst. and brings FIVE DAYS later in,clli.
goncc than the Great Western. This in
torval has presented nothing striking as re-
CARDS this country, except debate in the
out of the thrcadbarc subject of the Ash
burton treaty. The remarks of Sir Robert
Peel, tho brief, were effective, and his a'lu-
sion 10 the speedy settlement Of the Oregon
question was as favorably received by the
house as II will be by both countries.
We are under obligations to Thompson's
Express for Wilmer g. Smiths Europcon
Times, from which VIC compile our sum-
mary.
The state Of the manufacturing districts is
encouraging: many circumstances induce an
expectation of a continued improvement in
the trade generally, aud the consumption Of
cotton continues greatly on the increase.
A second edition of the London Chronicle
contains the following extraordinary express
from Paris:

Locally speaking, the most important parla
mcntary movement which has been taken fol
years is the Government Education scheme
praiseworthv measure in the abstract, but 81
tinred with Epscopa ansm that it has rousct
the ire and called INTO action the lcalouscs o
all other sccts in the country. Accordingly
the Disorders and Roman Catholics have beer
making a demonstration Of strength against it il
every quarter Of the lard, and Petitions. will
upwards OF tco millions of signatures, were
presented to the House Of Commons against
on Monday evening.
The Government has been obliged to benz
before the storm, and some mod ications hav
been made in the original iraught of the bill
but not enough to satisfy the sectarics, VIII
sill maintain that in the bill as it stands, thu
Church Of England has advantages inmcal t
their interests. The probability, $50 ferc
is the opposition, measure will be with
drawn, and with it all chance, during the pres
ent generation, at lcast,--of the State providin
sound m nral and religious education for tn
children of the poor.
The High Church party has always locke
upon the education Of the lower classes with a
evil eye, unless directed according to the
views. Neither party will give way, and tn
result wi be the continuance Of the existing de
morazation and mental darkness in the mos
densly populated districts OF Ensland-th

TIE SEASON AND TIE CEoPs ~ ENGLAN
There is every prospect of very early a
very abundant harvest this year. From t
mildness Of the winter, the wheat was mo
forward at the beginning OF April than it us
ally is at the end Of tia, month, and the abun
ant rains, and occasional genial weather viii
we have since had have caused It to advaut
Notwithstanding a few checks from fros
nights. The spring corn, which was got il
the ground a'mus, as well rs the wheat, IS a
beginning TO show itself strong and hoaltl
especially the oats and beans, and the gri
crops look better on the lst of Nay than til
had done for several years. The landing {.
son has been unusually good this spring, a
from the abundance OF grass the lambs
are now very fine and large, and we may a
cheaper than they have been at this season
many years. There is, in shor. prospect
great abundance Of every kind OF produce,
cept, perhaps of fruit.
