LONDON, May 20.-When Lord Palmerston

management of the boundary negotiation did not al

Since that treaty Of Washington is never named
by Lord Palmerston, though by him alone, without
contumelious expression, it becomes the rest Of the
world to reiterafe that appreciation Of il which it
would otherwise be needless to express. We re-
gard it. and the world regards it. perhaps the most
equitable convention concluded between nations
since the general peace; and if we doubted Of its
merits, they would be confirmed by the inexhausti-
BILE envy of its notorious dctractor and by the Lam
guage applied to it by congenia spirits on the other
side of the Atlantic. The Washington Globe Of
last month declares in the true patriotic vein

An echo may be made to contradict the voice to
which it replies. The British government is accused
here Of having made such concessions on a former
occasion to incapacitate it from settling the Ore
gon question with fairness and with resolution. The
American government b accused by the democratic
party there of having encouraged our claims in Ore
gon by former concessions to US in Maine. But con-
sessions which are thus described in the United
States and which have received the appreciation Of
10th Houses Of Parliament, well as Of every dis
passionate man in England, are not very likely to
have the effect predicted by these oraces Of war In
settling the Oregon question nothing better can be
desired than similar concessions, if such they can
be called, in which our adyersaries concede more
than we do ourselves and it were well for this cou-
try, and for mankind, if all international contro-
verses were settled in the spirit of the Ashburton
treaty.
PARLIAMENTARY Before the Whitsuntde holy
days interviewed, DR.. Hunt moved, and the House,
by large majority, rejected his proposition for the
admission of corn, the product of Australia. The
government, anxious to prevent debate, endeavor-
ed, II 10 said, to prevent the formation of House.
q common stratagem when offensive discussions are
to be burked. The case Of Canada was adroitly
adduced by the mover az a good reason why's sim
liar boon should be conferred on Australia; but the
premier would not, could not, any analogy be.
tween the colonies The parties interested are high
ly indignant at the conduct Of the ministry; and the
subject in all probability will be mooted in another
shape at no distant day. The speech of Lord How
ick in reply to that of Sir Robert Peel, was very
bitter and haunting; describing one Of the weak
est and shabbest he had ever heard fall from that
able man. The truth is, Sir Robert Peel has diff
entity enough in keeping his supporters in order at
present; to apply the spur noc to the agricuurists
IN the matter Of corn, would cause the suppressed
mutiny to explode.
>. The proceedings which took place in the House
Of Commons on Friday night are important in the
present position of matters between England and the
United States The debate referred more particu-
larry the of the navy; which, the profession
al members contended, was in most inefficient
state-badly manned, and altogether disgracefu to
the service The admission Of this ineficiency was
made by Sir George Cockburn and the other repre-
sentatves OF the admiralty board; and the blame
thrown on the exchequer, the chancellor of which
evnced no willingness to place the wooden walls of
the natoiein better position.
The same complaint has been made every year
That we have been at peace, and every administra-
lion mas peen assnleu ny Inc outs on the same sore
point, as it is one which appeals strongly the ma
tons prejudces and fears. The migratory charac-
Of the sailor is proverbia and all complaints on
this uitless, unless the government of the
day will consent to keep as many men in pay du
ring period Of peace as the exigencies Of the
try would require in war. Sailors, when unem-
ployed, are Obliged like other men, to seek else
where for living; and hence it is that, with the
large naval force of this country, more British
men are 70 be found in foreign service than the sea-
men of all other countries put together It was sta
ted in the House, some time ago, in corroboration
Of this fact, that the American navy principally
manned by English sailors. But the resources Of
the country so ample that, when occasion serves
abundance Of men could be found. Naval officers,
like most professional persons, have but one idea
that Of unfolding the honor and dignity of their pro-
fession; and when this be done under the guise
of patriotism, the temptation to indulge in proftIess
complaint is the greater. The government, howev-
er, will be probably induced, in consequence Of the
strong representations which are made at critical
