Seuen Dams Later from Furope,

: The Mail Steamship Caledonia, ar
rived al her wharf, in East Boston, about
IL o'clock Monday evening. She Jeff Liv-
erpool on the 5th of April, aud has there
fore made The passage in little more than
16 days.
The American Minister, Mr.. Everett,
transacted business at the Foreign office on
the 10Th ull.
The British Ministry intend 10 hold Ore

Ireland has been the theatre of terrible
faction fight.
The French Liberal papers rejoice at the
annexation of Texas.
We make our summary chiefly from
Wilmer and Smiths Times.
Commercial.-In the early part of the
week the Cotton market was full, and pri-
ces had tendency 10 recede; but the fact
of the steamer being detained a day in
order to carry out the result of the debate
on Oregon, was no sooner known, than the
marke, became more firm. Yesterday the
sales were 5000 bales, at the highest quo
tatious. The proceedings Of the House Of
Commons, last night, arrived here 100 late
TO effect the market this day. The same
cause.-The Oregon-that sent Cotton up.
sent Share down. In other respects the
proceedings of the week; since the sailing
of the Great Western, present no very
striking features.
The following, on the subject Of Sugar,
demonstrates that the high rate of duty on
Foreign Sugars will be the exception, mol.
the rule, for the future, owing to the con-
struc,ion which The Home Government
has put upon The act -" The consumers
of sugar will be glad 10 learn that the Gus
tom House authorities, in London, are
putting the most liberal construction on
Iha, part OF The new sugar bill, which
gives them the power Of deciding what
sugars shall be admitted al the higher, and
at the lower duty"
10 The staples of Tea, Sugar, and Spir-
lis, decline has been submitted to-, at
which tie trade were not ready buyers.
The Queens Visit to Isiand.--The
visi, Of her Majesty and Prince Alber, to
ireland is definitely fixed to that place in
July next 1t is said, that, 10 order to al
low her Majesly's Ministers TO accompany
her. Parliament will he prorogued at au
earlier period than has been usual of late
years.
Annexation IN England.-The annexa-
ton of Texas has ceased to excite interest.
People have regard The matter as settled,
and view the cunnexion rather with indif.
ference than with favor. Mr.. O'Connell
has declared, in the Repeal Association,
his dislike to the measure, grounded on his
we'll known ant-slavery prejudices.
The French Chambers are engaged in
attempting TO express excessive gambling
in railway shares.--To the Peers Courl
Darius bill for carrying out that object has
been senl, with every prospects of its p!i-
mary provisions being adopted. The De
puties are employed 90 The Tariff bill, and
the. Introduction OF foreign n,achiaeEy;nn,
q, ,ertain restrictions has been agreed 10.
A great subject of TRANSATLANTIC interest
the right of search--has been incident
ally discussed in The House of Commons.
Lord Palmerston is extremely netted that
any change or modification should take
place, or be even contemplated on this his
pei scheme.
Amongst the events Of the day which
have awakened public attention, may be
! mentioned The fate Of the woman killer,
John laval, who terminated life nI
strange vicissiludes by the hangnan's
hands al ,Alesbury. The most striking
facts connected with The fate Of this crimi,
nal are these-rhat he belonged-nominal.
ly al lcast-to the most rigid sect Of Chris
tians exlant-lhe Quakers.
Parliamentary.- House of Com
mons met, after the Easter recess, on Mon
day night, when Lord John Russell gave
notice that he would briug under The notice
of the House, on Friday next, that portion
of The American Presidents Message,
which relates 10 The territory of Oregon,
The evening was mainly occupied in dis
cussing lbe navy estimates, naval urchi-
lecture, and Admiralty arrangements
The discussion gave rise to an interesting
episode relative TO the right of search, and
what Lord Palmerston conte nded to be he
voluntary surrender of that right by Eng
land to France, in which the noble mem
Der from Tiverlon, Sir Robert Peel, and
Lord John Russell took part. With this
discussion all Interest in the nights pro-
ceedings ceased
The Oregon Question.-The London
Times of Monday, April lsl, has the fol-
lowing: The question arising out of The
conflicting claims Of this country and the
United STATES 10 The Oregon Territory is
essentially different from all the ordinary
topics connected with our foreign political
relations, and it involves the most serious
consequences 10 both countries and TO the
world.
There is no real danger, in spite
of the language of cabine, like that Of
the United States, or The unnatural vitu-
pera,ion of opposition papers at home,
that the moderation of Eng land should be
mistaken for wan, Of power, or the tran
quill dignity of her language for,the sacri-
fee Of her rights.
ln The employment of our. resources,
the country expects from the Govern
melfs the greatest forbearance, aud the
greatest resolution if the case be one
