ENGLAND AND AMERICA.
From the London Chronicle Of Feb. 4


Since the publication Of The Presidents
Message, until this day, when the packet sails
for the United States, we have heard but one
opinion upon the subject. The adoption of
the Presidents recommendations will not, and
cannot be regarded in any other light than as
hostile indication.
This notice TO terminate the convention Of
1897, may. IL is suggested, be followed by
fresh negotiations. II not, war is inevitable
IL we receive notice that the joint occupation
shall cease in lS47. and if nothing more be
done than the giving of this notice. we, too,
must prepare at the end of the years notice.
firmly to maintain our rights. Let rs not in
our deep anxiety for the preservation of peace,
lose sigh, of the position into which we shall
be driven by the event we are speaking Of -
Neither England nor America could remain
inactive pending the termination of this
treaty. We should be virtually at war from
the dey we get notice thai at the end OF a spe.
ci6c time America was determined to main
tain what she regards as her rights in Oregon.
And that is supposing no other proceeding is
adopted than TO give the specified notice. But
if the other recommendations of Mr. Polk be
carried out-if. cOIemporaneously with giving
notice TO terminate the treaty, the American

ARRIVAL OF THE PACKET SHIP
"TORONTO."
FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE

FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
The packet ship Toronto, Captain Tinker
arrived early Wednesday from London and
Portsmouth, after having made very quick
passage over the Atlantic.
She sailed from Portsmouth on the 9th ult,
and in latitude As, longitude AZ to So, passed
through a continued field of ice and icebergs.
The advices from London, which we have
thus received, are Of the 7th, and from Liver
pool to the 9th ulimo.
The news is of very favorable and inter.
esling character.
The corn markets were somewhat active
and firm.
The war in India has again broken out, and
the annexation of Punjaub is probably con.
summated. If not, il will be. The Anglo
Indian intention has been for some time ma.
turing.
There was great excitement and panic in
Ireland relative to the new commercial policy.
It's probably raised for an effect on Paria-
ment.
The course OF Mr. Calhoun is favorably
spoken of by the London Times of the 9TH
ult.
The London Money Market was easier.
There has been another debate in the
French Chambers on the Texas question.
Notwithstanding the recent declaration Of
Sir James Graham, to the effect that i, was
not intended at present to call out the Militia,
$4,000 sets of accoutrements are being pre-.
pared by Messrs w. e. G.. Almond. of Bond
street, for the use of that force The order
came from the board of Ordinance.

ments made by the Trappists of S,aoueh to

down with run. as IL ought to have done ac-
cordng 10 the confident assertions Of monopo-
list writer's and speakers; hss slightly risen in
several markets and remained stationary in
most. and has not anywhere sunk to serious
extent As the corn dealers are at once a
shrewd and sensitive race, we may take IL
for granted that they do not expect any fall
from present prices TO follow the introduction
Of the new system; if they did, their fears
would have been shown by rapid decline in
all the principal markets in The kingdom
The fact is they know what is the real ex-
ten, OF the supply both of British and foreign
grain too we'll to entertain any such fears.

McKAY'S TARIFF BILL PASSED
IN THE HOUSE BY ia TO95!

The Tariff Reduction and labor De.
s'rucIion bill reported by Gen. Mckay,
of North Carolina, passed the House OF
Representatives on Friday afternoon by
vote of ia to 95-one Wing (Mr Hill

Democrats, (eleven from Pennsylvania,
four from New York, two from New Jer-
sey. and one from Md in the negative.
The Ohio Democrats, after all their vas
porting, hunked, rs they had done before
on Anneyation,and were ready to do on 50

iy al their hands. Even Brinkerhof
like the cur he is, was whipped INTO vote
the behest oflhe Palace, in defiance OF the
valorous speech yet warm from his lips !
So with Ohio Mcdowell; so with our
Rathbun, Preston, King, SC. Secretary
Walker, Editor Richie, &c., were on the
floor, throughout the struggle, acting as
cverseers Tor Polk. and handled the exec
ulive squadrons with pracliced dexterity.
The bill was saved BY one vote Q05 to

go in the free list-lhe Wings voting with
the Free Salt Locos, in the hope of kill
ing the whole concern. Had this propo-
stion succeeded, the fishing bounlies
would have gone overheard, and the Dell
egaiion of Maine with good part OF ours
must have voted against the bill and de-
feaed it. But salt being retained as a

cent, the amendment utterly repeating the

permitted TO dissent from the idea advanc-

taken higher ground in favor of liberty
Mr. Clay's recent move towards Mexico. l
think shows, if it shows anything, tina. he
has belied his former profession Of hat red
10 slavery, inasmuch as he kn0ws that the
sIaveholding power dictated this war; and
knows too that the objec. Of prosecuting it
is to secure more slave territory. I am
of the opinion that Cassius M. Clay's am

men, has more weight with him than a
settled principle Of right NIam wrong
in this view, shall mos, gladly be set
