INTELLIGENCE FROM OREeoN.-Wo are ii possession of the Western (Mo.) Journal of the It. ins;. IL contains some interesting intelligence lr.m Oregon. ...- -
 It is anticipated that there will be large emiera- ton from this place in the month of May enssng for the Oregon Territory. Major Y. NJ. Adams is here on the spot acting as agent Tor the Spring Company he is ready to furnish information all points com neoted with the subject those who apply to him He tells me that large numbers preparing to start irum every portion of the Union. Black Harris is expected in from the Mountains III February; il he should not return time enough to act pdot the company Captain Fitzpatrick will accompany Adams and his party through the Mountains.
 am Id that men have returned from Oregon who have given pictures of that country which any thing but favorable.
 Information has been received of the safe arrival of Col. Owens. in Santa Fe. Every thing in New Mexiro was que.-the disputes b etween our Gov. ernuiens were mol yet known there.
 There is rumor from the Mountains that the Yu- tas have killed all the traders among them, after hay ing heard 0i he massacre of their chiefs in Santa Fe; also that two traders had been killed at Fort Laramie.
 The emierants who went out the past season have made great change in business, and money now c cuatrs the Columbia well as this snle of the mountains and every thing begins to assume the ap- pearance of civilization, business trade and the re. finements this side the mountains.
 We have been m habit of looking 10 Europe for Asiatic news; let our Government establish a chain oi posts from this To Oregon, an oveian ma will speedily follow, and ihe China and East India trade will pour into channels of commerce. iron, tho gorses of the Rocky Mountains; and a journey from New York to China, by way of Oregon will be less thought of,han it formerly was to St Louis The government should consider that a little enter prise will place the East India trade al our door and the sooner the better.

BRITISH FREE TRADE THROUGH TExAs- We have beture quoted, from article in h- Edin. burgh Review, extract which proves that the poll cy oi England is nullfy the American tariff by a reciprocal treaty with Texas, to make her ports the depo. of her manufactures free of duty, and thence send them into the United States. With Texas in dependent, or with Texas under Briiish protection how io prevent ihisl All tariffs would be co',e blank parchnents The idea thrown out ir the Edinburgh Review has recently been more full, developed by the British minister at Texas. We marvel that Governor Briggs, when he took SD much pains To hunt up Mir. Murphys letters put into his address, did find the letter of Mir. Allen, written al Houston after interview with he British min ister. We will supply that deficiency and leave the sh ewd manufacturers of Mas ssachuseis to make the application. The views of the British agent. which coincide remarkably wlth those of the Ednburg Re- view, are thus saIed:-
 "The idea of the British minister is, that Calves. ton will becone free port for British manufactures; and ihai through Red river and other routes, thty will be smuggled into the United States. so as tu take the place entirely of American manufacturers.
 The blow which Great Britain thus proposes to aim through Texas, is both at the commerce and manufactures of the United States. She ext ects thar, instead of New York and the other c,ties of the north being the places where British goods are now imported, they will be carried to Galveston, where they wall pay duty. This is the blow which she aims at your commerce. And now, as 10 your man ufactures: substitute British goods free of duiy smuggled through Texas, in place of American man. uactures. Nexi, as to your navigating lnlerest:- she expects io substitute British instead of Aseri- can vessels, by depriving you of duties on imports she expects to overthrow your revenue; and lastly. to make Texas your bitter aud eternal foe."

MEsMERIsM.-The following interesting extract is from the New.YoIk letter of the National Intel. lige ncer. a..rs.
 Some of principal phy ysicans are likely 10 be- converts at length to belief in the truth of the much abused science of Mesmerism. A most com vlncng evidence of the power and reality of the mes- merle agency was exhibited in this civ on Thur sday last (the 18th nstant,I in the presence of Doctors Mott. Francis, Doane, Delafed, Rogers, and others -all of them men acknowledged to stand in the front rank of their profession. young dy of respecta- bilty residing in Chambers street, while in i,e namhulic state induced by mesmers,n. had a tumor removed from her neck the carotid artery The rnesmerser and surgica ope, ator was Dr.. Bertron- nier, young man of fine abilities, whu has recen,ly arrived he,e from Paris. The suhJect submitted 10 the painful operation without the slightest manifesta- ton of physical pain or shrinking-a serene smile playing upon her lips the knife deep into the fesh. Alter the operation was coded. an apparent dispositon io awakf from the magnetic trance was nme,liaely disperd by few passes of the mes- meriser's hand. The eminent physicians, who were present, nearly all of whIm came prepared scoff, regarded another in silent amusement at the cessful close of the experiment. As of the most distinguished of ,hem remarked 10 me, their looks seemed to say, "have we not disbeliesed in these
 things too long?" The case was in all its details of d most convincing character. A full description of it, duly authenticated, will soon be published. It is
 likely to rival in interest that in which the celebrated Ci,quet Oi Paris, was the operator; who removed . cancer under similar circumstances, but where the operation was not strongly atested as in the sent instance. profound impression has uHdonl l. edly been made upon the minds of our medical and scientific men by this extraordinary incident, con- frmatory il is oi lhe reality ofsn agency nature, the existence of which they have hitherto denIed, and the attempts to established the truth of which they have denounced the Y ossest quackery."

To relation to the hrst iiem have adapted the rate universally preferred ] by the Planters, while we were in the country last summer, and with which they expressed themselves entirely satisfied. In relation tn the second we had only agreed 10 dray from wharf at D cents par bale inducemcnt to have cotton landed these.

The sp-town whar6ngers for some 1iu'e past have been in the habit of paying all the exra expenses incurred by boats cotton ordered to das wharves, but landed on thei,'s in order to get tho wharfage of the balance of the cargo, and compel ss to do all the long drayage. .,-.-.5-4 &
