"The rumor that Col Benton will yield 10 the frce of public sentiments and become advocate oi immediate annexation, such terms viii be ac. cep,ed by the Government of Texas, is becoming cry day. We feel confident that he will not aga,n wield his tremendous energies against the measure. He must be satisfied that Gen.

 The next Liverpool steamer, Ihe Cambria is fully
 Tue at Boston, and we shall probably receive her ac interest by commercial friends, as they wi be several days in advance of the inie igence received hy the packets. It will be seen that the Quebec, with two days later dates from London, brought no thing in relation to cotton. We have nothing in re- gard to the arrival of the Oxford, except what is furnished by letter 10 Charleston.
 We have moi space for as full accounts from Wash House of Representatives was ia some degree n,er- upled by the proceedings rendered necessary by the conduct of the clerk, pretty full of which IS given elsewhere. The Senate held no session on the l7h and 18th, so that we have nothing further on the subject of our negotiations m regard to Oregon The impression seems to be general that they have been successful and that our relations with Great Britain are consequently assuming delicate aspect.
 Our connexon with the private express line is in- tended to be permanent, and expect to be one day at least in advance of the United States mail in the receipt of news, when there is no failure east of Charleston. We are three days ahead of it.
