WHAT is THOUGHT in ENGLAND

This seems to be the prevailing question about
here, and to satisfy it we make extracts from two
or three English papers. Our readers, of course.
VIII understand that these are the expressions of
newspapers, and not the declarations of the Eng
llsh Government. We have, as yet, heard moth
ing OF the line of policy intended to be pursued
by the British Ministry. The steamer next ex-
pected, may bring some thing definite. tang ible,
out we doubt 1T; England is prepared for any
crisis, and we presume her Government, will wait
patiently for our final action. There is heavy
responsibility now resting npon our Government,
to remove the load of uncertainty and doubt that
now presses down the energies of our people,

remove at once, the incubus that is Stacking our
energies and is destroying our commerce. The
people cannot bear this state of horrible suspense

MR.. SHEPPARD AT ELIZABETH or

Mr.: Sheppard addressed the people of Eliza
beth Cry, Pasquotank County, on Wednesday
last, and we learn from friend that his Speech
was well received and produced fine effect He
discussed the Tariff, Oregon, and other leading
questions, and was. we understand, justly severe
upon the Wing leaders for having involved the
State in debt by their extravagant and dangerous
measures. large majority of his auditory, were
Wings, and we anticipate, from the information
we have received, tremendous increase to the
Democratic vote in Pasquotank County Indeed
we have heard of changes all through the East
erO portion of the State The Whig people are
becoming tired Of Federalism and its fruits. and
are coming over in crowds to the administration
party. They see that at home, under their own
Stale Government, they will SOON have to paw
