Arrival of the Great Britain.
FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE


The intelligence by this arrival possesses
some interas', but is not highly important.
The latest dates brought are from London,
May 9Th; Paris, It'll; Dublin, Oh; Havre,
9TH; Liverpool, OH.
The form Of The Oregon Notice passed
by the United States Senate Is gratifying
TO the British, and oil the papers agree that
1t will be likely 10 ensure speedy adjust.
ment of the dispute. The reader will see
the speculations Of some Of the British pres.
ses below.
The reports from the various markets
show some improvement in trade since the
sailing of the Britannia. The Advance on
cotton is an l,6 on all kinds Of American
and "with the feeling which at present pre-.
vails,' says the Times, ''lhere is every
chance that the next steamer will carry out
still more encouraging accounts"
The produce markets exhibi, little varia-
ton. The price sugar is steadily ncreas.
igg, and The accounts of the deficiency OF
the last West India crop has tendency to
advance prices.
The proceedings in Parliament, which
point TO a speedy release oFthe grain and
flour in bond, at the low rate of duty, have
given more animation to those articles.
The proceedings Of Parliament seem to
have been entirely local. Speeches have
been made on the corn law subject, but
without action, Smith O'Bren is still held
in custody by the Commons
The strike amongst tho operatives in
the building trade continues. The masiefs
are meeting IT by counter com5ina ;on. -
An assemblage Of employers from all paris
OF the kingdom has taken place at Newton,
small town midway between Liverpool
and Manchester, TO consider what is to be
done in the premises.
Wilmer IL Smiths European Times, for
copy OF which we are indebted TO Harm
den d Co., speaks Of English naval pre- par
atoms thus.
The squadron, for the fitting out Of which
the royal dockgards and The arscnals have
been Kept SO necessarily busy for months
past, IS now assembled in the ncghborhood
OF Portsmouth, preparatory to short cruise.
All the vessels have been manned with The
same precision as they were about TO blow
an enemy TO atoms. All manner of naval
skIrmlshes and manGuvoring have been Put
INTO requistloE TO test the readiness and
capabilities Of The respective crews and OF
the fleet. The finest vessels of The navy
are there; the most experienced officers are
IN possession Of the quarter deck; the crews
are picked men Of the service; even the
marines have been pruned of all but the
young and able bodied.
THE or ECON OI7ES,HjnN
The passage Of the bill ADVOCATING the
Oregon notice is generally remarked upon
by English papers. For the most part thew
regard II as peace measure. We insert
all extract from one Of the leading Jour
nails:
From the London Times CT May 8.
The resolutions authorlsing the President
OF the United States to give notice for the
termination OF the Oregon territory has Civ
en- rise on the other side Of The Allautc.and
the extreme reserve which has hitherto been
maintained on this, there, is at bottom the
same deep and earnest hope in both coun-
tres that this question will be amcably
settled, and we trust there is an equal rcso-
luton in the Government ofboth coul tres
to make every cXertion, consistent with the
true interests and honor, to terminate the
controversy.
1t is IN this spirit that we nrc willing TO
receive the notice for the termination orthe
existing convention. In this spirit,and wi h
an express recommendation TO tha, effect.
the resolutions have been framed and car
ned IN both houses of Congress; and in the
same spirit we do not doubt that the nepo-
tiat;on Will be forthwith renewed. The al
tentative is now distinctly indicated. The
utmost tenn 20 whiChthe peace of the world
can be prolonged is one tweIycmon,h, if
indeed, circumstances do not bring about
much caller rupture, unless the PARTITION Of
the Oregon territory be finally scliled within
that period. Never was heavier respon,
slbFllly incurred by public men; never was
grayer queston poised in tie balance eli
Providence.
Thus lar. then, and in moe respects

improves the prospects OF speedy settle

basis upon winch alone such settlement
can be attempted, and by putting an end to
the period Of Joint occupancy, it prepares

Our position as claimants upon an equal

rather strengthened than weakened by the
