ADDITIONAL NEWS
BY THE STEAMER HIBERNIA.

English files, together with our New York ex-
changes, from which we CLEAN the following
summary of intelligence from Europe brought
by the steamer Hibernia, at Boston, The most
important news by this arrival, is, Gas we stated
yesterday the ratification by the British Gov
ernment, of the Oregon Treaty. This docu-
ment was signed by Lord Palmerston, and MIR.
McLane on the 18th ult., at the Foreign Office,
and afterwards conveyed by express for despatch
by the Hibernia, by his Excellency Mr.. McLane,
Minister to Great Britain.
In the House of Lords, on the 7th ut., the
Marquis OF Lansdowne rose and said that il was
his duty TO lay before their Lordships and that
House, the Treaty which had Just been conclu-
ded between her Majesty and the Government
OF the United States, in reference to the Ore
gon Territory He had the satisfaction of in
forming their Lordships that notifications had
that day been exchanged.
A similar motion was made in the House of
Commons by Lord Palmerston.
The new Ministry has got fairly to work and
the business ofthe country is again in state of
progression. All the members have been re-
turned without opposition except Mr.. Maca u
ley and Lord Darlington.
In every quarter disposition exists, to give
the new appointments fair trial in conse-
quence ofthe excitement now passed, the coun-
try needed repose, and with the exception of the
Sugar duties, there was no prominent questions
likely to embarrass the Ministry, or test their
capability.
The affairs of this session ofParliament will
be wound up, probably, by the middle of Au-
gust.
The great movement to reimburse MIR. Cob
den for the loss of health and money, is pro-
crossing apace. There seems every chance
that the el00, 900 fixed upon as the maximum
of the amount to be given to him, will be rails
ed.
Efforts will be made to raise a splendid mon
ument to Sir Robert Peel, by means of Penny
subscriptions throughout the British Empire,
as an expression of the nations gratitude.
The proceedings in the Houses of Parlia-
ment, possess considerable interest. Lord
Brougham led the assault in the matter of the
Judges, salaries; Earl Grey showed that il
blame attached to any one it was to the noble
Lord himself. Mr.. Duncombe wished to hear
from the noble Lord himself distinct avowal
OF his views on the leading topics of the day
Lord john Russell declined this categorical
analysis, but while doing SO, said sufficient to
point the moral of his future career as Minis
ter, to the principles of free trade, to which he
avowed his answering attachment. Justice
to Ireland, he would literally carry out, but
with respect to the established church of that
country, the Premier thought it imprudent to
meddle in this early stage of the business.
The same evening, Lord John russell de-
clared that he would make his views respect
ing the sugar duties, known on Monday. The
manufacturing districts were busy, and conf
dence prevailed. The season continued all
that we could desire. The cotton market was
firm, with good steady business, and prices
had an upward tendency. The timber trade
was in more fiourishing condition. The de-
mand for pork has been limited, and the price
had receded little. The market Was bare of
fine cheese, which would receive good re-
turn. Superior qualities went off heavily at
lower rates.
The accounts from the hop district represent
ed the crops as being in tolerahly fourishing
state.
The potatoe disease of last year is dong the
work OF destruction to the growing crops. The
same reports reach US from Ireland.
The iron trade had received an impetus dur
ing the last fortnight.
The corn trade was in a lethargc state, ow-
ing to the large quantities which were released
from bond a fortnight previously, and the low
duty, which had more or less affected the mar
ket since. 81.
The payment of the July dividend, and the
release of considerable sums of money belong
ing to various railway projects from the Court
ofChancery, rendered the Money Market buoy
ant. Bank stocks and other securities had
risen.
M. Hollander, Esq, has been appointed
Consul of the United States, to reside at Sc
dan, (Ardennes,) in place ofthe late T. Hulme,
Esq, deceased. The King has already grant
ed the Exequatur.
Numerous persons are preparing to emigrate
rom Sweden to North America, under the gu-
fdance of Erich Janson, fanatic, who has set
himself up as prophet, and who has thou
sands of followers.
The Journal de Frankfort publishes the fol-
lowing letter, dated from the banks of the
Rhine, July A:
There is no longer any reason to doubt OF
reconciliation being on foot between Russia and
France. We will take no notice of the asser.
ton of some of the Paris journals, which lose
themselves in details of this event, and even 90
so far as to say that the count de Benkendorff
is designated by Russia to prepare the arrange
ments for the reconciliation. The count de
Benkendorff, brother of the princess de Levon,
who doubtless is the person alluded to, died last
year; and if the probability of reconciliation
depended on the truth of the main article of
news given by the Paris papers, and the details
which they group around it, it would not, of
course, be very great. But we have, neverthe-
less, every reason to believe that the news of a
better understanding between Russia and
France having taken place is true.
The Oregon Question in France. Whilst it
was pending, the Partisan newspapers, without
exception of political party, took the most in
tense interest in the Oregon question, and made
