THE MARKET, SIC. sc

The MARKET, &c. &c
We received this morning the following in
'eresnng and important news from Europe.
which we hasten to issue in an extra:
.H BosroE, June l8, p. m,
Inc steamer Caledonia, Capt E. G.. Lott,
was telegraphed this morning at half-past
O'Clock, and arrived al the wharf at | O'Clock.
The cotton market has been reduced again
TO state OF comparative quetude. Prince
LOUIS Napoleon has arrived in England incog.
and is about to leave for Florence there to ioin
his invalid father. 1t would appear from what
O'Connell stated on Monday, that Sir Robert
Peel is determined to press forward the Irish
Coercion bill, when Parliament reassemble,
after the Whitsunide holidays.
The Oregon question has now ceased to give
any uneasness.
FREIsHTs AT LlvERrooL.-The warlike lid
ngs per Cambria have tended to check ship
ments in some degree, and few houses hav-
ing determined not to ship in the American
bottoms, has caused some little inquiry for Bri-
tlsh vessels. There is not, however, single
American ship in the port unlreighted. The
amount Of freight going forward is still limited.
In the absence Of much demand for passengers.
ship business must be considered dull. not
withstanding the unusual scarcity Of tonnage.
The Paris paper, La Presse, OF Monday.
reached our office last night, which announces
that orders had been sent, by the Minister Of
Marine, to Brest, and the other military har
bors, to despatch number ofships to the Gulf
of Mexico, to reinforce the squadron stationed
there, in consequence of the war between the
u. s. and Mexico.
The overland mail Of May lst reached Lon
don yesterday. possesses no political, and
little commercial, interest. The seeds of ano-
ther contest in the Sikh country were sown az
the termination of the late war.
Portugal has. been the scene OF another at
tempt at revolution, consequent upon change
,f the ministry. 1t appears that, for the Por-
Iuguese, it would have been more than ordi-
nary energetic affair.
OREGON-THE BRITISH, PARLIAMENT.l
Mr.. Hume asked whether the Government
had been officially informed that tile President
OF the United States had received directions
from Congress to give "notice 10 this countryl
OF their intention to terminate the Joint occu-
pancy of the Oregon territory" and whether
that notice had been given. n..a
Sir Robert Peel: al can have no objection
to answer the question the honorable gentle
man has put to me by stating, that the Ame-
rlcan FT President has given to their Majesty's
government the formal notice necessary to the
termination Of the existing convention at the
termination of the year. And in doing so, the
President has adopted the terms which were
assented to by both Houses of the Legislature
Of the United States, that the notice was given
with the view of leading to the amcable ad-
lustment Of the difference between the two
countries on this subject" THear, hear.l
England has offered her mediation be-
tween the United States and Mexico. Mr.. Pa
kenham has received instructions to that effect
from the British government by the Caledonia.
= ST.. PErEKsBUeH, May 22.-I regret to saw
that the cholera appears to be advancing with
rapid strides towards this city, from whence.
no doubt it will, in time, find its way to west
.rn Europe.
