The steam ship Caledonia arrived at Boston ut
two o'clock, on Thursday afternoon, with advtces
from Liverpool to the 4th and London to the Sd
instant inclusive
The intelligence is of some importance in a
Mexican and Oregonic point of view.
The English government, as ice stated IN the New
YORK HERALD on the arrival Of the Great Western,
about to offer her mediation for the settlement of
the difficulties betveen Merico and the United States.
The intelligence from this side. of the progress
OF the Mexican war, had alarmed France and
England; hence this mediation on the part OF the
latter. and hence the.active preparation in the
French Naval Depots to fit out fleet for the
Gulf of Mexico
The Oregon question was touched upon in
Parliament on the last day of its meeting, and Sir
Robert Peel stated that the Notice" had been
given and received in most friendly spirit.
The cotton market had not materially changed.

off in England, in consequence Of the Mexican

The Spanish government has withdrawn from
the United States the right to depose at Mahon
the combustbles, provisions and effects necessary

The cholera is advancing with rapid strides to-
wards st. Petersburg, whence no doubt it will
make its way to Western Europe.
Louis Napoleon has arrived in England
The Paris paper, La Presse, of the lst instant,
announces that orders had been sent by
the Minister OF Marine to Brest, and the
other military harbors,, to despatch num-
Der of ships of war to the Gulf of Mexi-
GO, to reinforce the squadron stationed there
in consequence of the war between the United
States and Mexico. On this subject the same pa
per states that much uneasiness exists in Paris
The opposition prints are all on the side ,of
America, and predict an early conquest Of Mexi-
90 by the United States. The apprehension caused
by the war of the United States with Mexico
weighed on the Paris money market on the lst
The sugar duties keep alive attention respecting
the fate of the Ministry. The impression out of
the Cabinet Is, that Sir Robert Peel is far in adj
vance of his colleagues; and that he is anxious to
apply to sugar the free-trade principles which
have extended to corn, cotton, and other articles
of general consumption. But his official life is
evidently dyasOing to close, and the schgs con-
fdert of being in favor at no remote day.
The timber trade has felt the effects of the mis-
understanding, to which we have more than once
alluded, between the masters and the men.
Accounts have been brought by the Algiers pa
pers Of the oath ult, stating that Abd-elKader had
ordered to be massacred in cold blood the 800 pr-
soners who had fallen into his hands. The rea-
son assigned for this horrible act is that the Mo-
rocco troops were advancing on all sides against
the Deira, and that he, for the purpose of COM
hitting to his cause the Agerine tribes who had
emigrated with him into Morocco, had ordered
his prisoners, with the exception of the officers,
to be shot. There is some doubt expressed by the
Courier de Narcotics OF the truth of this report.
The overland mail of May the LIST, from India,
reached London on the 81 inst. The news pos
sssses political and little commercial interest.
The seeds of another outbreak in the Sikh coun-
try were sown at the termination of the late
war, and in good time it will produce fruit The

The closing scenes in the French Chamber of
Deputies show that M. Theirs has lost none of
his pugnacousness He has had smart tilt with
his great rival, M. Guizot in which the calm phi

The CHoLERA.--We have already stated that
the cholera had made its appearance in some O {
the provinces Of Persia, carrying death into the
principal towns. It has spread from Bokhara to
Herat and Meshid, and has now taken the direc-
ton from the Caspian Sea to Teheran and
lspahan. Late accounts from Odessa state, that
it had crossed tho Russian territory and appeared
suddenly at Tifs, taking northerly direction be-
tween the Caspian and the Black Seas. On the
other side the cholera broke out unexpectedly ut
Orenbourg, in the mines of the Ural mountains;
closed the Voga, and set its foot in Europe, at
Casan, onlp 1000 kilometres from st. Peters
act, II has taken most irregular direction. 1t has
advanced from west to north, and does not seem
to have followed the banks OF the river, as in 1928
and 1892. The cholera which devastated France
in 1881 and 1882, had been raging in Persia for
seven years 1923 to1S30 Ii first appeared in 1923 AT
Orenbourg and shed death around that town for
five years. 1t re-appeared at Orenbourg in 1879,

broke out at st. Petersburgh in July, 1881, and in
France in October Of the same year.-Giobe
