The Oregon Proposition British Policy
News from the PaCiiiC-thG Mexican War;
There is something connected with the
Oregon proposition Of Great Britain and
the circumstances under which it is made.
that makes It difficult TO comprehend her
present policy. The promptness with
which she has acted upon receiving The
"notice," would indicate in any other GO
vernment no more than praiseworthy ex-
ample Of an anxiety for the preservation
Of peaceful relations hut, when 1t is re.
membered that for the last quarter of a
century she has pertinaciou,ly and some
what Indignantly rejected substantially the
same proposition which she now offers, it
is well calculated 70 excite suspicion
that she has Interior objects in view, which
she prefers not to avow until the Oregon
question is settled. If there is no real
foundation for this suspicion, she will have
given evidence Of an abandonment Of pre-
tensions long insisted on which is at war
with her usual policy and which will sub
Jet her conduct TO severe crlliclsm-she
will have manifested Difference for the
power Of the United States which she has
not shown for that Of any other govern.
ment! The force of this inference will
hardly be broken in the estimation Of Euro
pean nations, by the fact that our own
government has also abaled largely her
pretensons in accepting the British offer,
since it will be known that our government
has made the same proposition subslan.
TALLY as many as lour times.
Upon the supposillon that Great Britain
has no ullefor purposes OF national ag-
grandlzement in other quarters which she
proposes to execute, we should be disposed
TO attribute her promptness in submitting
her proposition to The anxiety of Sir Ro.
bert Peel TO draw the commercial ties Of
the Two nations closer by the early adop.
ton By both Of the policy Of more unre.
stricled trade. We hope this may be the
British motive, and it is udner this suppo-
siuon That we should be grati6ed by the
settlement Of the Oregon question even
upon the terms proposed by her.
1t must be admitted, however, that these

NATURE Us. ART 1t is stated from
Paris, that "a new and rariSsamt fashion has
Just been proclaimed for this year, straw
bonnets ornamenled with ,odtercresses.'
An english paper, abiding TO this latest
novelty remarks that ior long time
feathers and flowers only figured IL the
couture Of women. Subsequently fruits,
took the place of flowers, and cherries
and currants were seen decorating fair
heads. The celebrated Comtesso Ducha-
tel wore grapes, none Of watch ever prov
ed to bo sour, and for which good luck it is
presumed she was indebted entirely to the
aid Of modiste and mliner. Vegetables
have usurped the dominion Of flowers and
fruits, and the beautiful wdier. cress is pro-
nounced rduissam as the summer decora-
ton Of the chopeau de paiIe, II has been
suggested that this innovation is not likely
to be the only one, and that some bold
modisle will soon assume the right Of deck
ing the head or the hat with little red ra-
dishes and French beans!

FROM THE NATIONAL PRESS.
THE MUSIC OF LOVE.

We all love the music of sky, earth and
sea,
The thrill of the song-bird, the hum of the
bee,
The wind-harp that swings from the bough
Of the tree,
The reed of the rude shepherd boy:
We love Natures warbings when day has
begun,
When rock-iountains gush into song as
they run,
When the stars of the morn sing their
hymns TO the sun,
And hills clap theirs hands in their joy.
All love the invisible lutes of the air,
The chords that vibrate to the hands of the
fair,
Whose minsTelsy brightens the midnight
of care,
And steals to the heart like a dove
But even in melody there is a choice,
And though we in all her sweet numbers
rejoice,
There's none can compare with the tones
Of the voice
For they breathe the music Of love.

SINGULAR PHENoMoNoN AN extraor-
binary phenomenon was observed on the
line OF the Eiectric Telegraph between
JGrsy City and Baltimore, on Thursday
afternoon, the like of which was never
known to man. Three thunder storms,
ench some 80 to 60 miles from the other,
were all coming east on the telegraph
route about the same time, and every dis
charge of electricity from either, was duly
recorded By the lightning ITSELF in the tele-
graphic Office at Jersy City, Philadelphia,
Wilmington, or Baltimore. The wires be-
came altogether manageable, and the
operators being obliged to Withdraw tho
batteries used for writing, the visitor from
tho clouds had the field 10 itself. The let

most partial to, according to the ~ York
Sun, we're l. and +, but occasionally it
went at the numerals, md dashed off rs,

pid style. We learn that when or 3
thunder clouds get in tho same vicinity,
and discharge their electricity at each
other, or receive The fluid from the earth
aud return it again, or when ground light
ming prevails, the effect on the Telegraph
wires is to produce a strange and original

gible. In fact each kind of lightning
