The Foreign News.
The news brought by the "Caledonia" is mo re In
te'esting than important In one particular it is ra-
her bad for cotton spectators and growers in this
country There is very little SAID. about Oregon, or
Texas or the United States, in the English papers.
Theyseem to have felt great reeffrom the accounts
received by the last steamer from this side of the
water. Assured by these indications Of moderation
and peace, the British journalists are just beginning
to recover from their fright.
The most interesting intelligence is contained in
the proceedings of Parliament, and the movements
of the variouspolitica parties in England 1t would
seem now that all the old party walls and lines of
demarcation between whig and tory, radical and
conservative, repeaers and no-Popery-men, are
breaking down in al directions. Even the great
Repeal party in Ireland itself seems to be getting
into-confusion and disorder, and symptoms of dif-
ference OF opinion manifest themselves, which pro-
mise great results hereafter. O'Connell exhibits
evident dread of the new and formidable party
calling itself "Young Ireland" which now sees the
selfishness OF his policy and the hollowness of his
promises. Some strange scenes have been enacted
IN "Concilation Hail. between sYoung Ireland"
and O'Connel, from which il would seem that they
are beginning to find him out at home as well as in
this country.
But the most remarkable and interesting move
ments are those of the present ministry led by Sir
Robert Peel in the House Of Commons, and the
Duke of Wellington in the House of Lords The
Maynooth Bill has passed the Commons by tre-
mendous majority, made up of of all parties in
most admired confusion. 1t has now got into the
House Of Lords and will probably pass there also by
a similar and strange combination OF parties Simi-
lar to this bill is the Irish Education Bill for the in
corporation and endowment of several new colleges,
to De founded liberal principles Indeed the po-
icy OF the present ministry appears be gradually
to give way, and abandon all the old preudices of
their pary-slowly, moderately, and gracefully, bit
by bit. So clearly is this policy revealed already,
that the London Iinaes which generally has pro-
phetic eye the future, hints significantly that if
Lord John Russell does not take care, Sir Robert
Peel will be in advance of him in effecting mod.
ficanon of the Corn Laws.
From all appearances, it is evident that the eddy
ing currents which indicate the progress of po-
pular and liberal principles, will gradually acquire
strength, until the final struggle come between the
old landed interests and the church on one side and
the commercial, manufacturing, and banking inter-
ests on the other Then will be the crisis in the
present institutions Of Great Britain. Her very
dread Of collision with this country, shows that
she is well aware Of the insecure foundation on
which the present condition of things rests There
little danger then, that she will hastily rush into
any difficulty with the United States on the annexa-
tion question. Much more likely is it that she will
repudiate the acts and conduct of Mr. Commissioner
Elliott. Thus things look peaceful all round The
only black cloud is the fall of cent in the price of
cotton.
GLENcovE AND THE STEAMER "CRoroN."-We
have been requested to state for the information Of
those that visit the beautiful and romantic country
about Glencove, that the steamer "Croton" still
continues to stop at that landing every afternoon,
usual, having provided temporary accommodation
for landing passengers, until the harbor is deepened
by machine now in operation. A notice was put
UP two days ago, stating that the "Croton'' had
ceased stopping that landing in consequence of the
shalowness of the water but the citizens Of that
place have made arrangements to land all passengers
In the most easy and comfortable manner, until the
water is made deep enough for the steamer at any
state of the tide
MURMuRs.-The albany Ahas-the organ of John
Van Buren, and the young democracy-comes out
against the appointment of Mr.. M'Lane to England
1t Is worth stating, that, after this mission was re-
fused by Calhoun, Gilmore, Pickens, and heaven
knows how many more, it was actually offered to
Martin Van Buren, Of Kinderhook and by him, also,
after world of painful deliberation, declined We
rather think that if it had been offered to John, it
would have been accepted; and, perhaps, this may
explain the murmurs of the 4tias. We are very
sorry for Mr.. Polk. Neither Calhoun nor Van Buren
appear to be willing to identify themselves with his
administration. Well, then, he must stand on his
own bottom.
PoLlTrcAL BrGoTRY The conduct of Mr. Fes-
senden and Mr. Charles King, the individuals who
so grossly outraged every principle of decency and
charity at the late meeting of the Historical Society,"
is Indignantly reprobated by the whole community
That man who could thus stand over the new made
grave of the mighty dead, and in the language of
rufanism, pour forth his envenomed political spite
and raucour, must indeed have heart utterly dead
to all that dignifes, adorns, or sanctifies human
nature. This Fessendcn is evidently one of those
dwarfs among mankind, continually gnawed by en-
Wy, and hopeless desire for elevation from the
mre in which they grovel, and who prefer the fame
Of the pillory to their natural obscurity. As for
Charles King, no one that knows the man can be
surprised by any exhibition of vulgarity and brutal
ty on his part. II is the creatures nature. Connec-
ted as ne is with the Courier, such conduct would
injure the paper, it not that Webb with all his
FAULTS is known to be far above such contemplate
outrage on the feelings of the living and the
ry OF the dead.
