FOREIGN NEws.-News has been receiv-
led from England one day later than that
brought by the Hibernia. The news thus
received is rather belligerant and warlike.
but possibly the opinions of the English
press are merely an efervescence after the
receipt of a little Republican spirit. The
London Times Of March 4, says:
The news from America, published this
morning, took the city completely by sur
prise, and produced fall Of almost one per
cent in Consols, from which they but slight
ly recovered at all in the course of the day
The closing price of yesterday for the Ac-
count was 96 rs to 81, and the concud-
ing price of to-day So Is to IA, but they
were done at 95 rs. With the exception
of This very marked effect, it has been unu-
Sually difficult TO collect in detail any opin-
ions respecting this news. People here are
mostly disposed to regard the whole as a
continuation of that tone of bravado which
the House of Representatives, under the au-
spices of the President, Mr.. Polk, has hi
therto maintained; and to hope, therefore,
THAT the same feeling will not be exhibited
in the Senate. But the most anxious ques-
ton discussed here to-day has turned upon
what course is likely to be taken by our
Government, should the notice 10 abandon
the Oregon territory be actually given-that
is, whether such notice would be followed
by an immediate hostile manifestation, or
whether that would be reserved till the
twelve months had expired. From obser-
vations that have dropped from Sir Robert
Peel, 1t is erroneously inferred that, in how
ever courteous manner this notice might
be conveyed, it would be Immediately re-
sented; and therefore the feeling which the
news has produced was, on the whole, a
very uneasy one,
The next news will be received by the
steamship Unicorn, which was due last
Sunday. She will bring two weeks later
intelligence-hence her arrival is looked to
with much interest, as possibly the news
brought by her will determine whether we
are to have a rupture with Great Britain
In regard TO the effect of the new COM
mercial system of England, the Liverpool
Standard says:
The destruction of our protective system,
of which the Canadian larmer-our own
thus far enjoyed por-
ton of the advantage goes far to render USE
less and Improbable all this expenditure.
lie is hencelorth placed no nearer to us in
commercial allegiance than the farmers of
the United States. Nay, he is in a worse
position, for the industry of the latter is
protected by duty on the importation Of
foreign corn, whilst we have stipulated for
the withdrawal of all protection from the
industry of the former. May it not, there
fore, be anticipated that, in the course of hn-
man events, the Canadian population will
ultimately be driven to direct their attention
either to the achievement of independence
as a nation, or to union with the great
confederacy of the United States, by which
they will at least acquire the right of trad
ing with that important republic on better
terms than they would possess if still main
tanning their present connection with Great
Britain.
EXPRESS TO ORE Adams
& Co., have at their office in Light street,
says the Clipper, a bale of goods consigned
to mercantile firm at Astoria, in Oregon,
which they intend to despatch by their ex-
press to its destination, via Boston. Think
of the Baltimore market supplying Oregon,
clear up to 81 40, with merchandise and
other commodities.
