The Unicorn had a terrible passage. A

impeded her. Sho was frequently cmbay.

Johns for Coal.
The express with her news arrived in Al

duccd duties: bonds being given to pay the
old rates of duty If the measure fails in
Parliament; Buckwheat and Indian corn. one

Great disappointment is expressed at the
non-arrival of more important news by the
Cambria from Boston. Only a single New
York paper Oft the 28lh Of February was re-
ceiyed.
The unfavorable news by the steamer
had but little effect in raising the cotton
market, The sales during the week preyi
Vious 10 the l9ih of March had amounted TO
$4,000 balos.

THE OREGON QUESTION IN THE
HOUSE OF LORDS.
m 1 II r.
more papers in relation to the Oregon ne
gotiations
The motion was opposed by Lord Aber-
deem. His speech was conciliating and de-
termlncd. He expressed the strongest de
sire for peace, coupling it with the assIr-
ance that it could yet be preserved, and in
timating that nothing would be left undone
TO preserve it consistently with the honor
OF the country.
But he gave no information as to the state
ofthe negotiation. Nothing can be infer
red from the tone of this conversation as 10
turn which matters are likely to take on
this mooted subject.
Wilmer and Smiths Times, however,
notwithstanding these official expressions Of
good feeling, states that anger and irritation
had been called into existence by the news
from America by the Cambria, and that the
War party was increasing. This feeling
existed in private society and found its way
into newspaper columns.
Wilmer and Smiths Times saws: The
general beliefin this country is. that when
the question has been left in Folks hands.
messages from the Queen will afford Minis
ters all opportunity of declaring their ulli-
matum to Parliament They will take their
stand on what they conceive TO be their
strongest position in the controversy; make
out what tie lawyers term a strong case;
and fanny attempt is made TO possess the
Oregon by force, the result VIII be that
horrible alternative, war. To this point
Affairs are now daily drifting
The Times had put forth two or three ar
tclOs of an untnistakeable tone. The bulk
Of the London morning papers took Lord
Aberdeen TO task for miCcng matters OF. a
question OH which the popular feeling was
50 strong.
Meanwhile there was unprecedented ac
tlyly in all the dock yards. To show how
quick such things could be done, the Bell
eophon, man Of war, which was dismantled
at Portsmouth, was put in applepio order a
sixty hours notice.
The London times of the 17th March,
comments in strong terms on the language
of the Washington Union, that England had
been made TO feel that the Americans were
IN earnest
PROGRESS OF THE NEW TARIFF

MONETARY AFFAIRS
The commercial and monetary affairs Of
England are represented as in very I'M
satisfactory state. The railroad moeements
are considered one great cause of the de-
preston end embarrassment which is now
experienced. The agitation of the new
Ianli system is another, producing sus.
pension of many important branches OF
business, and still another is the unsettled
CONDITION OF the relations OF Great Britain
and the United States. Failures are be-
coming common, and even in some instan-
ces Of firms that have hitherto been consid =
eTed among the tirmosl and best in the king
dom Many tradesrren also have taken the
benefit Of the bankrupt law
