Fish at Peoria.

Fish must be very abundant in tho Like at
Peoria, if we may credit tho statements. During
the las. season 200, barrels were caught from the
Lake in six weeks; this encouraged the fishermen
to make another trial. They began about the
9th of November, and on Saturday the 18th. they
made haul; but the net was long, {being 375 yds.
in lengthy and the fish 50 numerous that they
could not get it ashore. This haul they estima-
ted at 100 barrels. They wero engaged about
six weeks and in that time put up and sold 325
barrels. There is fishing company in Peoria.
which bought Mr.. Baldwin out last year. and
which at three hauls in succession took $4,000,
60, 600, and 40 900 fishes Of all the varous kinds
caught in the Lake.

1SFWe insert the comments OF the
Globe, on the important foreign news, to
the exclusion of matter of our own, as
more interesting than any thing we could
offer our readers.
Our Foreign relations seem indeed TO
be assuming a critical position, and war
with our ancient enemy seems not at all
improbable. Let Mr.. Polk stand up to the
sentiments Of his inaugural. pursue stea-
Oily and firmly the policy marked out, de-
fend the rights, interests, and honor of his
country, and there will not be lacking in
Young America stout hearts and strong
arms to sustain him. 1t is time to determine
which is to be the ruling power on this con-
tinent, and whether the grasping ambition
of Britain is to encircle us on all sides. The
determined shout of "Oregon and Texas, F"
raised by the " excited democracy as the
titled plunderers of the masses in the old
world call our people, has been embodied
in tones Of authority in the inaugur al of
the Democratic President. They hear it
Win COHStClndtiOhs lOA - 10 tHO CVluCHCC
of the onward march of Republican Free
dom; and they know their efforts to check
its progress will be vain and futile. Let a
gun be fired, and who shall prescribe the
limits of ''the area of freedom?" When it
comes TO blows, the people, in this section
of the Union at least, will be as an unit
all wings, all democrats, all Americans; and
bayonets and navies cannot stay the pro-
gress, or thwart the purposes, of free and
united people,.

ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.

~
BY the steamer Caledonia, Capt. Lott,
at Boston. from Liverpool, we have En-
glish papers 10 Saturday evening, the 9Th
April, a week later than the advices by
the Great Western.
The principal matter of interest is the
unusual stir excited in England by The an
nunciation, in President Folks inaugural,
that our title to the Oregon territory is
clear and indisputable. Even the minis
tiers, on the floor of Parliament, expressed
themselves in tone which they are not
accustomed TO assume towards this coun-
try. They appear to have understood that
announcement as in the nature of threat,
which demanded some bullying in return.
They also appear to have understood ii as
in effect termination of the negotiation
for the peaceable adjustment Of the ques.
ton. In both respects, we are persuaded,
they have misinterpreted the views of the
new President.
The House of Commons re-assembled,
after the Easter recess, on the Both March.
The Caledonia was detained one day,
by order of the government, for the pur.
pose of bringing out Tho debate in Parlia-
ment on the Oregon question.
The Queen was making preparations
for visit to Liverpool.
The paper from which we condense
this summary, has nothing in relation TO
the cotton markell
In the House of Lords on the 4th April,
Lord Aberdeen alluded to the declaration
of our title to Oregon, in the inaugural of
President Polk, referred to the pending
negotiations, and in conclusion said +:
"With the most anxious desire for peace,
he still trusted that this question might be
amicably concluded; but if not, we possess
ed rights, clear and unquestionable, which
continued the noble earl, amidst loud and
general cheering, by the blessing of God
and the support of Parliament. the govern
ment is prepared to maintain"
Lord ]. Russell and Sir Robert Peel al
SO brought the subject before the House o
Commons on the same day, the former ex
planning and asserting the British tite &c
the country, and the latter indulging in
similar strain Of gasconade as we have
quoted above.
In view Of the prospect of collision
with this country, the Parliament had vo
ted an increase Of 1000 men in the Bri
fish navy.
The French Ministry had been sustaine
on test vote in the Chamber Of Deputies

or We must decline a compliance with
the request Of the Guard" to enter into
specifications as to Mr.. Barton's letter and
we must leave the editor to guess the rea-
sons why we thought that production not
at all creditabIe to its author. The editor
of that paper has himself shown fondness
for " INDUCING in low invective against
prominent and well-tried Republicans .

learn, is engaged IN correspondence with
the Governors of several other States, and
is otherwise using much diligence in col
lecting information as to the best system of
Free Schools, and will bring the subject to
the attention of our Legislature at its next
session. The man who shall devise and
successfully establish good system OF
Common Schools in Mississippi, free for all,
will build for himself monument which
shall endure as long as The State shall have
a name.

SHERIFF's ADvERTIsING.-A large guanti-
ty of land was offered by the Sheriff on
Monday, under an execution in favor OF
the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund VS.
Il. ]. Walker. There were not exceeding
half dozen persons present at any time
during the sale, and of course but little
competition in bidding; as we passed, one
eighth of a section was "knocked off" at a
dollar and half! Probably not dozen
men in the county knew that such sale
was to take place. The admirable working
OF the mountaineering system of our eco
nomical Legislators, will materially assist in
sinking whatever funds may be due to the
State, to say nothing of its effects upon in
dividual suitors in the Courts.

or" Now, by ST. Paul, the work goes
bravely on" in Tennessee! A. ". Brown,
the Democratic candidate for Governor,
has more than realized the expectations OF
his friends, and is carrying all before him.
For graphic description of the manner in
which Brown /" makes the fur fly" from
the sly old coon opposing him, see the ex-
tract from the Nashville Union. The De.
mocrats are in the best of spirits. We an
ticipate the election of Brown, by trium
plant majority, and Democratic Legisla
ture.

of June, We learn that the President of

critical state of affairs, Texas viii probably
accede to these terms, although not SO ia
vorable as she has right to demand. The

NIUNcHAUsENIsH AND FACETIoUs.-A Wrl-
ter in the Mississippian, speaking of a breed
of hogs, called the g Tonsha's," for sale at
Gov. McNutt's plantation in Warren CO.,
says that the species is supposed to have
been left in the Yazoo swamp by Herman
dez DeSoto, the Spanish adventurer, more
than three hundred years ago! He then
proceeds to dilate upon their remarkable
properties, thus:

CoMING To. THEIR SENSES.

By the following extract, it will be seen
that the new Government in Mexico be-
gins TO exhibit evidence of returning sani-
ty. We hope the new. government will
next seriously consider what weak, feeble
Mexico has to gain by enlisting the inter-
ference of Great Britain--the most hector
ing, selfish, ruthless robbere and pirate
among modern nations-in the affairs OF
this continent. Her profession Of pro-
lection is ever but the pretext for self-ag-
grandizement by robbery and plumber.
Mexico. Voz del Pueblo "a Mex
lean paper of the 9Th, contains consi.
derable portion of the memorial addressed
to the Chamber of Deputies by Don Luis
Cuevas, Mexican Minister for Foreign At
fairs. on the subject of the annexation Of
Texas. We have been struck on IFS peru
sal by the comparative moderation OF It's
tone, and by the ingenious array of argu-
ment in favor of the peculiar views put
forth. He frankly admits that war with
Texas presents peculiar difficulties which
merit grave consideration, before the Re
public determines upon series of barren
sacrifices. The population of Texas, he
argues, is entirely foreign; they have no
sympathy with the Mexicans, and their po-
litical, social, and religious principles are
entirely opposite those of Mexico. To at
tempt to annihilate such people, or in
duce them to abandon the territory, would
be little less than absurd. 10 believe that
Texas could continue united 10 Mexico,
would be an inexcusaue orror. No power
within the scope Of Mexico could accom-
plish such a labor. N. O. Bee.
