To the Editor of the Union:
The Hibernia was telegraphed at an
early hour this morning. She brings
TO the United States the Oregon treaty,
ratified by the British government, un-
der the seal Of the new foreign secreta
ry, Lord Palmerston. This document
was signed by his lordship and Mr..
McLane on the 18th, at the foreign
Office, and afterwards conveyed By ex-
press for despatch by the Hibernia by
his excellency Mr.. McLane, minister
to Great Britain. In the House Of
Lords on the l7th July, the Marquis of
Lansdowne rose and said it was his dr-
ty to lay before their lordshIps and that
house the treaty which had just been
concluded between her majesty and the
United States in reference to the Ore
gon territory. He had the satisfaction
Of informing their lordships that rati-
fication had that day been exchanged.
A similar notice was given on the same
day in the House Of Commons by Lord
Palmerston, who appeared at the bar
and stated that he had paper to pre-
sent by command of her majesty. The
new ministry had got to work and the
business of the country is again in a
state of progression. All the members
have been returned in the opposition
except Macaulay and Lord Ebrington.
In every quarter disposition exists to
give the new appointments fair trial
In consequence Of the excitement now
passed, the country needs repose, and
with the exception Of the sugar duties
there is no prominent question likely tc
embarrass the ministry or test thell
capacity.
The affairs of Parliament will be
wound up probably by the middle o
August. The great movement TO re
