IS suspended in mid-air, between the higher and
lower powers; but, pending its fate, more ad-
vantage is being taken of the treasury order for
hberatlng goods from bond on payment of the
reduced duties. During the present week the
receipts at the custom house have been large
a tolerabe proof that the commercial world

Nj. Guizot, it is said, has applied to Lord

The Revenue returns to the 9Th of April ex-
hlOlt some curious results. This Is the end of
the financial year. The quarters revenue,
owing to the general stagnation of trade, shows

Now that the war in India is decided, the
Oregon question begins to attract more attcn-
ton, but the speeches of Mr.. Calhoun, Mr..
Haywood, and others, had convinced the Bri-
fish Public that our intentions were peaceable.
Relative to our affairs, we find only this par
agraph in Wilmer & Smiths Times of 18th
inst:
The article in the last number of the Quar-
terry Review, on the subject Of Oregon, is be-
ginning to attract attention, now that the
hubbub, arising out Of the Indian victories is
| fast subsiding.-
! The gist of the article is to promote a COM
! promise, and the reviewer would be content
with the 49th parallel, We have contended
from the first that any fair settlement of the
dispute would be hailed with avldity by the

AN
OURANG OUTANG IN LIVERPOOL Mr.. P. II.
Barnum, the American gentleman who brought
Tom Thumb to England and who has had the
honor ofintroduclng his dminutive protege to
most Of the European crowned heads, sails
this morning IN the Great Western for New
York. Mr.. Barnum, who has Keen eve for
the extraordinary in nature, takes outwith him
a fine living chinpanaee, or African ourang-
. outNng, which lie recently purchased for SIX
hundred guineas, from the propretors of the
Surrey Geological Gardens. 1t is the only
living specimen in England, and is universally
acknowledged to be the finest and most extra
ordinary specimen ever seen in England. Its
actions, the sound Of its voice while laughing
and crying, approach as closely as possible TO
the human species, and its hands, face and
feet are as pure white, and possess as soft a
skin as any child living. Mr.. Barnum has
purchased the Chimpan=ee for his American
museum, New York, and also for the Balti-
more museum, Of which he has recently be-
come the proprietor The genius is not only
extremely rare, but its existence is precarious
in northern latitudes-so that Mr.. Barnum's
spirit in procuring the creature at such hea-
Wy outlay for the qualification of his country
men, is really deserving of praise. We saw
the chimpanzee at the Waterloo, yesterday,
where it was inspected by few of Mr.. Bar
NUNS personal friends.

MIR. MAcREADY AND Mr. FoRREsT. MIR.
Edwin Forrest, the American tragedan, has
written to the London Times, iustifying his
conduct, in Kissing Mr.. Macready during his
performance of Hamlet, at the Ednburg Thea
