importance.
There appears 10 be an evident desire on the part
of Great Britain to settle the Oregon question in
the most amicable manner.
The tone Of the notice resolutions as they passed
the Senate, are deemed of a very favorable char
acter.
The question was incidentally brought before the
House Of Commons on the 18th ult., and both Sir
Robert Peel and Lord John Russell referred 10 in
very coneiliatory manner.
IL Is supposed that positive instructions have come
out in the Hibernia, to Mr.. Pakenhsm, to settle
the matter at once, and negotiation will probably DO
Immediately renewed in Washington.
The third reading Of the corn bill has at length
passed the House Of Commons by the largest major
ity which it has yet commanded-9S.
The trade in provisions was not very brisk.
There very little doing in grain. The arrival
Of -four from the United States continued large.
The money market has improved in tone, and the
news which to hand last week from the Uni
ted States relative TO the action Of Congress the
Oregon question, almost imperceptble in its ef
fects the funds. The returns Of the Bank Of Eng
land show an increase in circulation. The private
deposits on the decrase-so are the securities;
but the bullion, we are happy to say, continues
| steadily to increase.
The timber trade continued depressed.
The commercial accounts from the continent arc
encouraging. The great Leipsic fair has passed of
well, and considerable quantities OF English goods,
which were sent on sale, found purchasers. Ger
man woollens are spoken Of as having been fat at
| the fair.
The Hibernia brought 81 passengers from Liver
pool, landed g. and took in the same number at Hal

lions and proposed to consolidate the old debt at
discoun, of 60 per cent.
| The Liverpool Times mentions that reports are
in circulation of the intended resignation ofSir Rob-
ert Peel
| Messrs. Roebuck and DIsraeli had very pretty
quarrel in the House of Commons on the even
ing of the 9th May. The latter charged the former
with prepared impromptus," the former re-
tored upon the latter the charge of studied invec-
tive.
Lord George Bentnck, and the new secretary for
Ireland, also had tilt on the same evening.
Smith O'Brien was still in prison where he had
been about three weeks.
| The Daily News, established by Dickens, has
been tried and failed Dickens, sickened with the
News, is winging hs flight to Constantinople,
from whence the sheets Of his new work to be
sent. 1t is now in new hands, and, the original
projectors failed to make it pay at the customary
price the daily press, the new ones propose like
the Jews in the epigram, to make it sell at
to be curailed of half its present proportions and
half its price.

that the new arrangement for sailing a steamer to

the resolution was intended u threat or hostile
measure, it has totally failed to have any effect
whatever, except that it is probable Mr. Paken-
ham will be at once empowered to bring the
troversy to prompt and final issue" The London
Economist states, on what it considers high and I'M
questionable authority, that the Oregon question is
on the point of satisfactory settlement.

Horse Artillery. The Terrible, war-steaner, is ex-
pected to take them to America, with a supply Of
guns and stores. Three thousand excavators are
also to proceed from various parts in this country
and assemble at n certain place the Hudson Bay
Companys territory.
1t is calculated that 30 900 persons will have emf
grated from Ireland in the present year to the United
States.

lay over till tomorrow all the selections which We
have made from the British journals. We can give
