TnE NEWS BY THE HIBERNIA.

The effect of the news by the Hbernia up
on the business men of Boston was very great
Fears had been entertained that,by the change
of the British Ministry-thc retiring ola Peace
Ministry, and the apparent triumph ola War
Ministry--war might grow out of the Oregon
question between England and the u. States.
The sudden dispersion of the new Ministry
lAs given new face to things, and war is
now considered entirely out of the question,
at least for some time to come.
The business men of the country have had
fears for week or two and the consequence
was n seriou schcck to commercial enterprises.
Money began to be tight in the cites-so
much so that it commanded at the rate of /
per cent u month in Boston,
The papers say that favorable change was
the immediate effect Of the news by the Hber-
nin--business opened liveler and money be-
came easier.

was removed; nothing however was remov-
ed from the chambers or the cellar. His loss
was very considerable.
The buildings burned belonged TO w.
White Esq, and We're valued at $4,000. His
insurance is about $4,000. lie lost much
other property.
The loss of the Holcombs' is estimated at
THmTY-FIvE THOUSAND DOLLARS, only ST.
600 insured.
The loss of r. G. Tucker from it's nature
can hardly be calculated; but il is said to be
between 3 and $4,000,with but slight insur-
ance on his Law Library.
Mr. Huntington was insured 10 the amount
of$2,5 II is hoped that the insurance
will cover his loss but it is hardly expected
that il will do so.
The morning was clear and cold and scarce
ly breath of air was stirring; TO which last
circumstance, may be wholly attributed the
saving of other large buildings, which were
very much endangered.
The aggregate loss will not fall far short
of sixty thousand dollars, ifany.

Amid shouts of applause the General took
the stand, and expressed himself heartily in
favor of the enterprise, and spoke in glowing
terms of the beauty and fertility of the country
thro' which It is TO penetrate Was glad to see
the interest manifested by the gentlemen from
Massac usetts, ind advised its friends to abb
stain from local prejudiccs and schsms, He
was of opinion that New-England may be
made capable of sustaining her rising genera
tons, and furnishing support for her enterPrs-
ing sons.
JosEPH SAWYER, Esq, of Piermont, was call
ed upon, and in few and appropriate remarks
explained tho object of diverging from the
Come C ticut river, at Oxford, and crossing to
Canaan. II is desirable, he considered, to OBJ
tain the most direct rout from Montreal to Bos-
ton, and this cannot be realized without diver
ging as above. Should the New-llnmpshire
legislature, actunted by unworthy motives, re-
fuse charter for that small line of rond
along which the people have ceded the right
of way, then, he said, we shall go down the
river. But he expressed the fullest confidence
in the good sense and justice of that body to
do what is right in the premises, and he had no
doubt of succeeding in obtaining favorable
charter.
PRoF. CHASE, of Hanover was called upon,
and after judicious and well timed remarks up
on the nature of the project, he went on to
show that in his opinion, the road should not
leave the river at Oxford, and adduced several
arguments to sustain his position-but to him
L. FAIRBASKs, Esq, replied in a few words,
stating that the subscriptions to this road were
distinct from any road in New-iinmpshire.-
The stoc kholders, said he, contemplate con-
structing the whole road granted by the char
ter. If we can have opportunity to connect
with other roads, through New Hampshire,
very well. All questions of this kind, he said,
refer to New Hampshire, and not TO us.
Though late in the day we will remark that
this meeting was one of triumph. 1t was
there iriIled the magnificent enterprise should
be carried through so far the stockholders
and people could control its destiny If the
"powers that be- will only let the people and
country have peace and the general prosperity
which they have enjoyed for the last years, it
will go on to n speedy contamination.

superiority of Guyler's Safes is established

At Vauxhall Garden on Friday last, three Iron

UPThe venerable ALBERT GALLATIS of n
York City appears in the National lntelligen-
Ger of Thursday in the first of series of arti-
cles on "The Oregon Question" He counsels
moderation, regards the matter as one to be
settled by Compromise, but decidedly insists
that the United States cannot afford to make
the Columbia River the boundary, as is pro-
posed by Great Britain. He thinks our Gov
eminent lays too much stress on our title de-
rived from Spain. He knows more respecting
this territory and our claim to it than any man
in the u States.

uPWe published last week three of DR..
Whites descriptive Letters upon the Oregon
country, intending to continue them, but we
are we'll satisfied that they are but little better
than fancy sketches, and calculated to give err
roneous impressions in regard to the real con-
diton of that country. He guesses too much,
and infers great things from trifes for a geo.
graphical or descriptive writer. He has evil
IDENTIFY seen very little of the country, and
states things favorable which Others who have
seen more of it than himself, state to be other
wise. We would not say that he has been en-
gagged an agent of spectators or owners Of
land there to write up an emigration fever, but
his letters are very much, in their tone, like
those of some Western spectators who have
leriten up embryo cities, or tracts ofland--ide-

Your British President"

! That portion of the people ofthc Free States
who believe in the necessity of Protection to
ldtor and industry, but who were deludcd into
the support of James X. Polk for President by
Kane Letters, &c, were told that there II
large interest in this country associated and
allied with British interests, and that that in
tcrcst was using the utmost of its power to
cure his elcction-because they knew he
would i'll could, in case of his election, de-
stroy protection 20 American free labor and
promote the interests of the lordly establish
ments of England by making our ports as free
as possible for the reception of their produc-
tons Since his election his messages
and the movements of his party confirm the o.
pinion that they will be faithful to the foreign
interests, let what may of evil come upon the
hard iaboring people of the United States
His mcditated course is so well understood
in England that British papers speak oft as a
| common matter.
| BY the Hibcrnia we received Winners and
Smith European Times, dated Liverpool,
January 4. From that print we cut the two
paragraphs which follow:
Speaking of Folks Message, the Times
says;
"Upon the whole, then, If the Message has
not given all the satisfaction, in England,
which the friends and well wishers of Amcr-
ca desire, it has it's favorable point--that of
Free Trade; and the pending triumph of Free
Trade principles will in all probability, be ac-
companied by a satisfactory adjustment ofthat
bone of contention the Oregon. Polk and Peel
agree as to the necessity of the first--why not
of the last alternative?
| Again, in abiding to the Message, the same
| paper remarks:
"The American Presidents message, which
was looked to with some anxiety, produced no
i'll effect on the market. 1t is variously view
ed by different parties; but the WHOLE is
considered favorable to the pacific settlement
| of the negotiations pending on the Oregon
| territory, and with regard to IA revision of
the tariff,it cannot but act FAVORABLY TO
BRITISH INTERESTS"
The Manchester Guardian also says;
"But, whatever faults the message may have
in reference to the Oregon dispute, there is
one part of it which will be read in this coun-
try win unmixed satisfaction. We allude to
the recommendation to place the tariff upon n
footing more consonant with the principles of
free trade"
Here we Vermonters, who think better of A
merican than of British interests, and who
were cheated by the Kane Letter, and the
leaders of the Polk party, you can see what
these people think of your Presidents princi-
pies who wish to fill our country with the
fruits of their labor to the exclusion of yours!
How do you like the author of the Kane Let
ter?

Matters and Things in Wash
ington.

A letter in the New York Journal of Com
merce-not u wing paper-dated Washing
ton jan 20, says Mr. Polk does not expect
war and gives the following reasons'
In the first place, Mr. Polk relied on the pa
cific disposition of England and the aversion
of her Government TO go to war for a remote
and valueless territory. So far Mr. Polk was
right. His error was, in losing sight of the
fact that our pretcnsions might be urged in
such way as to produce quarrel upon the
point of honor; as to which England is as
sensitive as we are and has greater reason to
be so.
In the second place, Mr. Polk relies upon
another offer of arbitration. As proofofthis
would remark that there is no mention of
that resort in his Message.
In the third and last place, he relies upon
Treaty Tariff some reciprocal arrangement
that would give Great Britain an equivalent
for the abandonment other claims to Oregon.
REJECTION OF WOODWARD.
Correspondence ofthe Baltimore Patriot
WAsHINGToN, jan. %, 1876.
A great deal ofIll feeling is manifested by
Il certain portion ofthe dominant party here
in Congress and out, at the rejection ofJudge
Woodward's nomination. understand the
vote stood % for, TO % against confirming
VI StHtS h'SDN
facts, to wit:
LIST. That Mr. Buchanan has lent his influ-
ence TO accomplish Judge Woodward's rejec-
ton, on the ground that he wants the Judge
ship himself, ifhe can get it, and fnot John
NJ. Read, Esq of Philadelphia,
I'd. That the candidates now before the
President for nomination, are:-Messrs. Blu
chanan, Read, Grier and Galbraith, of Penn
sylvania, and Gov. Vrooni, of New Jersey,
and that all ofthese pure democrats" except
Galbraith, are old school Federalists!
Sd. That Woodward's friends have wait
ed upon the President and enG!eated him not
to nominate Mr. Buchanan or Mr. Buchanan's
friend, MIR Read, and that the President this
morning decided that he would not nominate
Mr. Buchanan
4th. That this rejection secures the ri-
umph of the Wings of Pennsylvania at the
next gubernatorial election, and prostrates
"modern democracy"
Marcus Morton's nomination, as Collector
of the port of Boston, has not been acted ON.
IL shakes in the wind and most probably will
be rejected, unless the Wing senators should
happen TO 20 for him pretty much in n body.
After all, the matter will be mainly left TO the
decision OF the Mass. Senators.

Leaking Out.

"Tcxas and Oregon" the locofocos say
"were born twin sisters at the Baltimore Com
vention" which nominated Mr. Polk for the
Prcsdency--and some of them also insist that
they shall also be nursed by one motherj but
certain Southern locofocos who liked the Tex
as sister well enough turn with cold hearts to-
wards Miss Oregon. This makes some OF
their western brethren a little wrathy, and
they are leaking out some truths which are
not unnportant. For instance, in speech
the other day in Congress in reply to these
Southern Oregon rebels Mr. Wentworth, a
Polk member from Illinois used this language;
"South Carolina Senators had defeated the
Oregon bill at the last session Of Congress, and
even When the West tcent for Te1as, and the
,rhoIe Of Telas, and a little more than belonged

cy-that wc had no title whatever 10 Texas

by The country with delight; but by the National

OF the enemy's country, not emily justified, but re-
CURED that the Mexican Government should
be superseded. The continued discharge OF
these functions by Mexican authorities, un-
