A POPE-STATE OF THE MARKETS, sc.

lay evening in little more than IS days
n Liverpool, with dates to the 4th inst
make up the following from the N. York
+ kette and Times.
Fhe intelligence by this arrival is of lively
erest-two very important events have oc-
red in England since the receipt of our last
ices, the final passage of the Corn BIZ
ough the House Of Lords, and the dissolu-
of the Ministry of Sir Robert Peel.
The Corn bill passed its third reading in the
use of Lords on the evening of the 25th
without division; at 2 o'clock the ensu-
revening, in the House of Commons, the
nistry was left in a minority of 7S upon the
eston of the Irish Coercion bill, and on the
n xt Saturday Sir Robert Peel proceeded to the
Q of Wight, where he rendered to the Queen
own and his colleagues, resignation.
Upon the succeeding Monday the Premier
stion ofhis motives for resignng Office, and
the extracts in another column from that
eech-remarkable in many points of view
call the especial attention Of our readers.
Lord John Russell is, of course, to be the
W Prime Minister. The following is the

\ Mr. Sydney Herbert, Lord Dalhousle and thu
SEarl of lincoln, were offered, but declined, zap

Seems to be regarded with favor by the public
Euenerally. Such at least is the case with thu
Times and the retiring Premier, so far from ex
lbting jealousy, is also said to look will
something like appreciation upon the new ar
Irangement. The general impression seemed
| to be that the new Premier will hastily winc
| {up the business of the season and dissolve Par
yliament ia the course of the autumn, and th
result in all probability will be that the liberia
conservatives and the old wings will form co
altion.
In commercial matters, the aspect is favora
BILE. In Liverpool, during four days, nearly {
quarter of a million sterling was received 70
duties, and the quantity of wheat and flour TAX
en- out of bond, and transmitted to the interior
was immense The object of this is to secur
the lowest rates of duty allowed by the sliding
scale by bringing down prices.
Large quantities of American beef and pork
which are now entered duty free, have ais
employment for the laboring population, and
comparatively low scale of prices for provisions
not only great domestic comfort, but an exten
sive amount of business and a correspondent
degree of prosperity must await on all-fror

The weather continues beautiful, and tn
prospects ofan early and abundant harvest wer

THE SETTLEMENT OF THE OREGON DIS
PUTE-VIEWS OF THE BRITISH PRESS.
The account of the settlement of the Orego
question was hailed with great sa tisfaction j
England, and upon one important point |
which the British Minister'S version ,fthe trea
ty differs Irom tlat generally made puOlc II
the American papers-the duration of the ma
vigaton of the Coumbia-the opinion pre- val
ed that the Premier was right, and that tn
navigation of the river is common to the cit
zens of both countries in perpetaity.
The European Times, in an article upon tn
subject, thus concludes:
We cannot close this brief article withou
bearing honorable testimony to the talent an
popularity of the American Minister in Eng
land, Mr.. McLane-a gentleman whose inte
ligence, respectability, and patriotism, retiec
credit on his country and himself: He is uni
versally respected, and his popularity is Gel
tainly not inferior to that of any former Minis
