The British Nal Steamer Csladonis,

evening bringing Liverpool papers to the

From The New York papers oil yester.
day morning, and Wilmer, g. Smiths
Europe an Times, furnished US by Messrs.
Adams g. Co., we make up the following
summary:
The CALEDONIA left Liverpool on the 9th
having BEEN detained one day beyond her
stated time Of departure Tor the purpose
If bringing gu, the result, of the debate IN
the House OF Commons on the Origin
question. That subject had come the
themr ofexciting interest, ani was prompt.
~ brought before the House by Lord
John Russell. immediately upon the re-
assembling Of Parliament after Easter re-
cess.
This business seems TO have assumed
decided, not to say a startlng-earnes,
ness ON both siles OF the British Houie OF
Commons. The premier confirms the
statement put forth by Mr.. Tyler in his
annual message as to the amicable mode
10 which the Oregon question had been
discussed between our Secretary # Stats
9 and the British MIN ster at Washington,
Mr.. PackeEham, but almos, directly con-
tradic,s the assertion Of the American
Executive. off favorable prospect of the
result Of the negot alton. So far from
anticipating so desirable result, SIR Rob.
ert Peel seems to see bu, little chance for
an BILE t.rmin stion of the conaover-
sy, while the United States Government
continue to maintain the ground assumed
by Mr.. Polk in his inaugural address. ~
Ii is MOTTO be concealed, therefore, tina,
the remarks Of Sir Robert Peel affo'd
grounds for grave apprehensions of serI.
Gus difficulty. He as s,ernly and uncom.
promsingly maintains the British right to
the disputed territory, as our Government
and We may add great majority Of our
people assert our own undoubted claim TO
that territory.
The su5jec, of The Annexation Of Tex.
as had ceased to be the cause oil much ex-
citemeni, and appeared to be looked up.
i. on with indifference in Eglsnd, the mat
;. ter being absorbed In the more serious
=. question Of Oregon. Mr.. O'Connell had
/, uttered his malediction in the Repeal As
ISOLATION in Ireland, but on the whole
"Annexation" occupied but little Of the
public attention.

ton had made an elaborate defence Of his
. late boundary treaty with this country,
!. against an attack made upon it in the
!. House OF Commons by Lord Palmerston,
# and Lord John Russell.
: The Cotton market remained withou,
much change from the previous advices
. by the Great Western. though the news
1 at Liverpool that the CALEDONIA was TO be
\ detained day, to bring out the result OF
the Oregon debate, wore so startling a
face that the market Immediately became
irmer, and 5000 bales were disposed of
at tho highest quotations. The price had
exhibited tendency to recede during the
early part Of the week.
There had been no arrival Of Amer.
can packet ships in England, after the
sailing OF The Great Western.
The Queens visit 10 Ireland, was de-
fnitely fixed TO take place in July, and it
was said that Parliament would be pro-
! rogued at an early day, to enable Her
Maiesiy's Ministers to accompany her.
" The domestic news Of England exhib-
. tied no noticeable feature since our last
advices.
In France, nothing very new or inter-
esting had occurred. The Chambers
: were engaged IN the wise project OF en-
Il deavorng to regulate the concerns and
l. Management, of toe railroad companies, o
project about as feasible as :nose that
some times show themselves in this coun
try. Legislation will hardly reach the
gambling transactions n shares, to pre-
vent which the attempt is made.

" importance from Switzerland. The coun-
try still remained in state Of feverish
D agitation.
