The Collecior of New York has recently made seizure Of q large amount of South American woo |, imported into NewYork and Boston. A parcel Of Ii6 bales seized in the former port, was Cordova wool. exported through Buenos Ayres. II was all of one kind and as uniform such wool e,er is. It cost 6l cents, and imported in the regular course oftrade winch has been going for ,eais and with out the least deception many way. The genuineness of the invoices, the uniform quality of the wool and all other requirements were proven, but sIill the custom house refused to surrender tho woo aad in- sisted on appointing two appraisers. The TWO men appointed, reported upon oath the invoices as true representations of the cost, which was less tEen 7c per pound. This, however, would not satsy tIe collector, and he again sent the back to the ar- praisers, with orders select the best bale of the inc voice and say whether it did not cost over 2 cents
 The Journal of Commerce, Iemarking upon the manifest injustice of the proceeding, says:
 We had supposed that radical Naval Officer, free trade AS he must be, would exhibit liberal dis- position in his ofce But il that he is much more illiberal than the whig tariff men who preced ed him; for this wool about which he suslains vexatIous prosecution, is imported exactly in the manner winch his predecessors have understanding ly sactioned, from the enactmentment of the law.
 The London Economist, speaking of the appoint ment of the Hon. Louis McIane Minister to Lon- don in place of Mir. Everett, says, Sit will be found when the facts clearly stated, that the discussion o the Oregon question at Washington has reached point which renders desirable have particular proposition submitted to the British Government and Mir. M Lane takes the mission on this ground.''
 From the Liverpool Mercury 5th inst,
 We understand that Mr. M'Lane, the new Ameri- can Minister 10 the court of St. James, who arrived in the Acadia, enter,ains confident hope of bring ing all the questions at issue between Great Rritain and America 10 an amicabe and satisfactory termi- nation. He spoke very cheerluly on inc sub;ec, in one of our first merchants shortly af,e, h,s a,r;vaI or the sake of humanity, and for the best interests of two countries united by many ties of blood language, religion. and institutions, we hone that Mr. M Lane may be right; but have our fears. One thing however, is certain, and that Is that our sell-syled best p ac,ica statesmen have, by their bunsing and incapacity, imperled all the best in- Britain the laughing stock of the world.
