THE FOREIGN NEWS.

Though the dates by the Oxford. are bu, two
DAYS later than heretofore received we feel it
duty To give the news, TO show the probable
movements of the British Government in refer
ence TO the Corn Laws. II seems To be deemed
almost certain that modification. Il not posi-
tive repeal. of the Corn Laws, Will be made at no
distant day. II this be SO, an advance on the
price Of grain must inevitably follow; and such OF
the farmers as have been prevented, by low water
and other causes, from throwing their crops into
market. may yet find what they deemed n misfor-
tune, converted into a blessing
The London Times reilerates with confidence
its first statement in reference TO the subject,
which had been contradicted-and adds that the
Duke of Wellington has at length yielded his
opposition To the measure, and Sir Robert Peel
will therefore be authorised to bring forward his
proposition at an early day.
The necessity for this action upon the Corn
Laws, would seem TO Indicate that Great Britain
will not now be in haste TO interrupt her existing
friendly relations with the United States; and we
may expect, therefore, that whatever of excite
ment has been produced by the Presidents Mes
sage will soon give place to prudent counsels, and
all difficulties may be speedily settled.
But the news by the steamer expected on Sum-
day OF Monday at Boston, will dispel all doubt,
and render mere speculations unnecessary.

The Small Note Bill.

THIS bill also got through the House. yesterday,
after severe struggle, 10y vote Of 81 to 54.-
What its fate may be in the other branch, is al.
together uncertain, though we think the elements
81 that body are even more adverse than at the
last session-when the bull was lost by one vote.
II is hoped, however, that the experience Of year
may have proven to some Of the MEMBERS that il
is a vain attempt Of Virginia to Danish small notes,
unless the adjoining States should fully cooperate
IN the measure. That we suffer whatever there
is Of evil in the measure and none Of lis benefits,
under the present state Of things no ono can
doubt and therefore our single. handed efforts to
carry out lavorite theory are worse than useless.
