The Money market has improved in
tone, and the news which came to hand
last week from the United States, rela-
tive to the action of Congress on the
Oregon question, was almost imper-
ceptible in its effects on the Funds
The returns of the Bank of England
show an increase in circulation. The
private deposits are on the decrease
so are the securities; but the bullion,
we are happy TO say, continues steadi-
Dy to increase.
The Oregon Question IN England
The London Times Of Thursday says:
"'The packet which sails from Liver
pool in few days, will convey to the
United States the real impression pro-,
duced here by the late intelligence
If the resolution was intended as a
threat or hostile measure, i. has to-
tally failed to have any effect whatev-
er, except that it is probable Mr.. PAX
enham will be at once empowered TO
| bring the controversy to a prompt and
final issue. The London Economist
states, on what it considers high and
unquestionable authority, that the Ore
gon question is on the point of a salts
factory settlement.
1t is calculated that $4,000 persons
will have emigrated from Ireland in
the present'year to the United States.
The Oregon Question in Parliament
incidentally, the state of our relations
with America was brought under the
notice Of the House of Commons on
the evening of Friday, 18th ult.
Lord John Russell made a pointed
allusion TO the subject, and. in doing
so, delivered himself in the following
| graceful and nappy terms:
( Looking at one of the greatest ma
tons ofthe Globe, I am happy to find
there are symptoms Of returning feel
ings of amity and good will. When |
read the speeches of Webster, Calhoun
and others, | forget all the idle menace
waited from the other side of the At
lantic. I trust her Majesty's Govern
I ment viii be able to fix finally the lin
its which divide the dominions of her
majesty from those of the United
J States, and | trust the convention or
treaty which shall settle that boundary
will be but the prelude of a more init
mate connection between US and that
vast commonwealth of a free people;
that we shall carry on together our
manufactures and our agriculture, Wy
ing with each other, if you will to make
our production more and more perfect,
striving, in the neutral markets Of the
of the world, for pre- eminence; striving,
also, in our respective branches ofpro
ductoin, that we may clothe them and
they may feed US, but hoping that
there never shall be occasion to cross
the bayonets of Britain and America on
:. any bloody field whatever. loud
cheers.l Sir, with this wish that such
may be the prelude ofthis bill to which
| trus! the other House of Parliament,
should pass by great majority here,
will give their assent, shall give my
hearty support to the motion for a third
reading. (Great cheerng.)
Towards the close of this speech on
the corn question, the same evening,
Sir Robert Peel, determined not to be
outGone in peliteness by the leader OF
the opposition, spoke as follows:
| The noble lord Il. RusselD says he
hopes that the discussions which have
threatened the maintenance of AMIGA
Bile rela tons with the United States
may come to a close. Sir, | think /
can appeal to the course which We
have pursued, against some obloquy,
some misconstruction, some insinua-
tons, that we were abandoning the ho-
nor Of this country.
/ think | can appeal to the past ex-
perience ofthis government, that it has
been our earnest desire, by every effort
consistently with the national honor, TO
maintain friendly relations with every
country on the face ofthe globe. This
principle, so long as we are intrusted
with the management of public affairs,
will continne to influence us in respect
to the settlement of our unfortunate diff
ferences with the United States
CHEERS.
This, taken IN connexion with tie
resolution of the Senate, gives us eve
ny reason to believe that we are at the
end of ou differences, and that a short
time only can elapse before the POSSIBLE
ity of misunderstanding between
IEngland and America will be remov-
ed.
