 There was decline in cotton consequent upon the advIces received by the Caledonia, showing that the last crop is likely to exceed that of lS43 and rendering probable an amicable settlement of the Oregon question. In other respects ihe commercial intelligence is decidedly favorable.

On the other hand we find the follow ing paragraph in Will mer & Smiths European Times of the l7th:

 THE CRoP-LoNDsE, May 18th The weather is still unseasonably cod, particularly the nights; vegetation does not, therefore, make much progress, and the must be regarded decidedly back ward; nevery other respect the crops wear healthy appearance but there is te prospect of the harvest being an early one. With the exception of on very poor light solls and on cold clay lands effectively Hrut, fp. ll,l all kinds ot spring sown corn and pulse--tough as before remarked, somewhat backward-have come up evenly and strong; in addition 10 which great Im- prosement has taken place in the appearance of the meadows since the recent rains, The crops on the ground hold out promise of sufficient food for both man and beast, should the weather for bringing them to maturity and for the ogatherng, prove moderate | ly proptious,
 We find in the Spectator of May 10th, the follow ing interesting details of the dreadful accident at Yarmouth, brief account of which was received by the last steamer.
 An appalling accident happened at Yarmouth on Friday aftern,on-th- suspension bridge broke down with hundreds of people upon it, causing an immense sacrifice of life. The bridge suspended from two piers, and is said 10 have been capable of af- | lording stauCing for much larger number of persons than had gathered upon it. l, was the chef means ol transit from the railway terminus to the l town. MT. Nelson, Clown al Cooke's Equestrian Circus, had announced that he should ride m float ing tub drawn by four geese from the drawbridge the quay the suspension bridge the North River; and al five o'clock thousands of people had assembled on both sides of the river to see him. Few people then the bridge; but as Mir. Nelson entered the North River, the numbers on it increased unlil they amounted to some hundreds 'rom three 10 six hundred;" most of whom pressed | p the South side of the bridge large proportion of the crowd consisted of children. gentleman who passed the bridge about this time noticed, that ''ihe crown of the brIdge instead of maintaining lis convex form, was completely faiened - The Clowns floating car had reached Bessey 8 Wharf, and there was loud shout to announce his coming: in the midst of the shout louder and shrller shrek from the bank of lhe rverone of the suspension rods was to snap, then another, and another; the chains side gave way, and the bridge fell on that side like the leaf of table let down, pouring the crowd upon it into the water.- There was lrightfu splash and stTugge-he water boiled up against the bridge-and then all was still, except that the r,ver was slrewed with people str yng for life. Great numbers of boats instantly made for the place; the whole seemed to rush to the shore and the most strenuous efforts were made 10 save the victims IL is said, that the bridge gave way there was no cry from the crowd upon lt-not a sound escaped under their sudden fate As fast as they were taken of the water the drowned people were carried to the nearest houses or to heIr own homes, and every endeavOr made to revive them. At one house. 10 which sixityeght persons were car ried only three revived; and there at one time fifty corpses lying in the house. The streets wore strange and hideous aspect, with the carrying about Of dead bodies, and the wandering of arighted people in search of their lost friends. IL was soon ascertained that more than hundred had Pershed. Nets were stretched the river 10 intercept the dead bodies floating with the tide, and the water was carefully dragged tor hours. Many bodies were found enangled in the iron work of the bridge and oi those not n few must have suffered very painful death.

 the Town Council to assist them with means 10 pro- cure the aid of some eminent engineer m the investi- gatlon; and the inquest was adjourned, the Jury 10 be summoned again when the Coroner should thnk ht. Several reports ahoat as 10 the insuffi- ciency of the sruclure but they yet too nnau- lhenlic merit notice. From lists which have been published, it appears that large number of the sui ferers were children, and nearly all the rest young people.
 BRITISH PARLIAMENT-SLAvER com- mittee on the Navy Estimates on the 9th, Viscouni Pa lmerston raised general discussion the Slave trade; averrng that il is increasing, that British subjects, (Negroes) taken from British possessions contrary tc law, are dea ined in Cuba and Surinan and that it is useless employ cruisers the coast ot Africa without maintaining he right of search He urged the necessity of destro, ing barracoons on that coast. Ministers had said that that would be inconsistent with the rights of nations; right which England forgot in Scnde, ior talking of the Ameers Sir Robert Peel said, that the law of nations was applicable 10 the rude barbarians Of lndia and France forgot the right m Tahiti. SiI Robert Pee deprecated an unlimely discussion without notice repudiated the argument that because internationa law had been broken elsewhere il could be broken in Africa; dene that it had been broken in Sclnde that he had said so, conlended that il would be better 10 obtain the consent Of Native princes for destroying the barracoons anticipated success from the renewed efforts of cruisers, and promised 10 inquire into the of British subjects sad to be dela,nedl in Cuba and Surinam.
 On the 7ih, Lord Palmerston asked whether, in pursuance of the 9h article the Washington trea- iy of August lS42, between England, Russia and Prussia, steps have been taken, by joint represents lions from the Governments of Great Britain and the Unite States, to cause countries in which markets for slaves exist to close those markets; and whether in pursuance of the 17th article of the treaty of De- cember lS4I, between Austria, England, Prussia and Russia, the maritime powers which have not joined in that treaty have been invited to do so? Sir Rob- ert Peel replied, that several conferences had taken place between Lord Aberdeen and Mir Everett, To consider whether the joint representations should be made literally together, or separately and il was decided, on considerations of national pr'de that the representations would probably be more effecuai il made separately. Representations were according ly made 10 Brazil, by both English and American Ministers. With respect to the second question, he believed that no vessels belonging to Belgium, Greece or Hanover, are engaged ID the slave trade; nor are their flags used in the promotion of that traffic. No doubt, it would be very desirable that all the maritime powers of Europe should unite to put it down but there considerations connected with the refusal of France to ratiiy the treaty which judged to form obstacles in the way oi represen- tation being made to the three Powers alluded lo.
 On the 9ih, the House of Commons wis almost exclusively occupied with the Ministerial measure brought forward by Sir James Graham. and explain ed by him at considerable length, for establishing three secular colleges in Ireland, wholly independ- ent of religious tests or creeds for he education of the middle classes.
