previously In relation to the Oregon

low.
Parliamentary.-The third reading
Of the Maynooth bill, in the House of
Commons, on the night of the 10Th May,
engaged the exclusive attention Of that
body until Weduesday,the 9lst. These
three nights of protracted discussion
envolved nothing new.

been signed at the foreign office.

ment for establishing colleges in the

The abdication of Don Charles in ia.
vor of his son is the most striking event
in continental news. The obstinate

the semblance ofroyaIty, and was only
induced to do so, it is said, at the ear
nest entreaty of cooler and wiser heads.

try.

in Corn has been as much as Is. to IS.
per quarter, in others not quite so much.
but in all Improvement has taken place.
A bad harvest, or even the prospect
ofit,is most disheartening. The amount
OF human misery which 1t produces is
incaIculable, ii disorganizes all the op-
erauons of trade, and there is not q
man in business, or out it, who does
not, in purse or in person-in "meal OF
