there was no permanent Improvement. The
arrival of the "Great Western" stopped the
rage for syeculation for the news, which was
pacific as regards the Oregon, was damaging
towards the holders of the staple, as it showed
that the last crop is likely to exceed even the
great crop of lS43. Since the Halifax steam
er came in, the market has been inactive, and
nothing seems likely to revive it but catastro-
phe which every one wculd depore-war with
America.
In the Sugar market and the Produce mar
kets of the West Indies generally, there is an
Improvement At the sailing Of the last steam
or, Sugar was moving somewhat fatty, but
since that time the demand for y. Z. and East
India has increased Purchasers evince Il par
tIallty for the better qualities, and steady prices
are obtained. II appears, from some Inquiries
which have been instituted in certain parts of
the metropolis, that the consumption of Sugar
amongst the more wealthy class has increased
Of late to the extent of from ten to twenty per
cent, while, amongst the poor, the increase has
been much higher-trom thirty TO forty per
cent. The statement appears to be very extra
ordinary, and its general application may be
questioned; bpt it is put forth authoTitatiVely in
the circular OF great and respectable house
for the intormation of their friends
/ PARLIAMENTARY. The British Parlia,
ment mcetsou Monday after the Witsun recess,
This is the second division of the Session. The
/ first terminated at Easter; and, like Drama,
in three acts, the concluding one promises to
be most important Our relations with Anne
rica may probably be alluded to, but are hard
ly likely tc be discussed. The willy Minister
will keep his own councils, and alew members
to founder as long as they like in the waters OF
conjecture. In this respect, American states
men might, with advantage, take a useful hint
from the cautious tact which characterize Min
steral announcements in the British Farlia-
ment. Upon MIR. Polk, the lesson would pro-
baby, be iost-but even a statesman so emf
nent as Mr.. Calhoun could study in the school
Of diplomatic secrecy without any damage tc
his weIl-carned reputation. HIS speech on the
Oregon Bill, when it came before the Senate,
in which he therein made, as to the policy CT
leaving now going the Ground" Of the English
press, and who knows but that the indiscreet
disclosures the Oregon question in allegiance for
some twenty years, when Americans would be
able o1:old it themselves may have furnished
a hint, upon which the Government is now act
ing, in pressing for speedy settlement Of that
/ vexed question? European statesmen appear
to have become infected with Talyrand's Wxi-
and feeling. Sir r. Peel certainly sinned a.
gainst the rule when he admitted that the threa.
tened rupture with America Increased his de-
sire to pacify lreland but, during his long pub
lie life, it is almost the first false step of The
kind he laas made, and savagely has he been
badgere3 about it. If all men were honsst
candour would be the first of the virtues; but
in the absence Of universal perfection, states
men must deal with the world as they find it..
LOUISIANA SUGAR. Just as we were going
TO press; it has been reported at the Custom
hcelse, on what we consider very good author
ty, that an order has been received from the
Board of Customs refusing admission to Lou
isiana sugar at the low duty.
! HER M4JEsTY's VISIT TO THE CONTINENT. 1T
is reported that Her Majesty and Prince Albert
intend visiting the continent, and that prePara-
tioRs in progress to enable them to take their
departure early in August next. The route spo-
ken Of is, first to Belgium and afterwards to
SAKE Gotha. Rumor also asserts that her Ma
jeSty will visit the King of the French after re-
turning from Germany
PREMIUM TO EMIGRANTs. John Dent, Esq,
of RibSton Hall, near Knaresborough, has Of
fered premium of ee5 to any of the poor fa-
miles residing in Hunsngore and Walsford,
who naay feelinclned to make trip across the
Atlantic. A like offer has also been made by
the parish officers in those places, and many fa-
miles have alEeady apaied themselves of the
opportunity.
MILITARY Force IN IRELAND. The official
return Of the military force in Ireland shows
that on the lst instant there were, including
the Royal Horse and Foot Artillery, 81 900
men; to which may be added 5000 police, and
the recently embodied out-pensioners that can
be called into active service, if required.
Farewell ENGAGEMENT OF d. MARBLE IN
ENGLAND. On Tuesday evening we visited the
Royal AmphitheatFe, and were agreeably sur
prsed at the admirable arrangements made by
the enterprising and indefatgabe exertons of
the lessee, w. A. Copeland, Esq. We confess
to being drawn thither to welcome our trans-At-
lantlc friend, Dan Marble, in new drama,
written for him by Lerlan Rede, Esq, which
is admirably adapted for his inimitable repre-
sentaton of the peculiarities of the kentuck-
ians in the far west. It's not our intention to
enter into critical analysis of the drama, but
content ourselves by saying the piece is well
arranged, and will, we are sure, become fa-
vourite in America We perceive it is Mr..
Marbles intention, by the announcement of his
benefit for Monday, to Leave by the steamer
Cambria on the following day, when we trust,
from the popularity of the benefciare, that a
bumper house will reward the Stage-struck
Yankee and Game Cock of the Wilderness.
WAR WITH AMERICA.
The European Times, under this head, has
lengthy editorial, in which it says:-
"The probability of war with the United
States occupies the public mind on this side of
the Atlantic, 10 the exclusion of every other
topic. The arrivals from the Western world
are looked to with absorbing interest, and the
with all the potency and speed which steam can
command, to the metropolitan journals. y 4"
The pros ard cons of the question, it is need
less to say, are daily discussed; and this is GER
tainly not the first instance, of late, that the
spirit of American institutions had been analys-
ed by British pens. The theory OF the Federal
