L. STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN.
The European Times of the Alb instant
tays: The commercial intelligence which
goes out by this packet is necessarily OF
Ineager and unsatisfactory kind. A state +
of transition Is, OF all others, the mos, IN.
favorable for the requirements OF trade, Tor
the uncertainty which preccdes the change
unhinges the operations shke Of buyer aud
seller, oil exporter aud importer.
Z" The new policy OF the United States,
as Indicated in the report OF the American
Secretary of the Treasury. has commanded
much attention in The British Parliament.
Sir Robert Peel spoke highly OF the report
IN the great speech in which he introduced
the new Tariff and subsequently,, al The
request OF Lord Monieagle, the Govern
men, consented 10 reprint The document,
and place il on the tables OF both Houses oil
Parliament-an honor which was probably
never awarded TO any similar document be-
fore. All these facts prove the desire
winch the British Government has TO make
our future relations with the u. States as
amicabie and as business like as possible.
Markets, as we before stated, are all
more or less aft cted by the Premlefs
financial expose and business can hardly
be expected 10 resume its healthy tone un,
tluis known whether the measure will
pass or be rejected whether there will be
a dissolution Of Parliament this year or
next.
1.-The intelligence which has come 10
hand from the Uaiied States shows the an.
crv discussions which have taken plaza IN
Congress, bu, the Gotten market has not
been touched by it. Pacific people here,
connected by business relations with Amer.
ica, express wonder ihni Mr.. John . uincy
Adams, the steady and consistent friend OF
peace, should have shown the effects Of age,
on an otherwise vigorous intellect, by pam
ds.ing 10 the preIrdlces and policy OF the
war party. Notwithstanding the buster
which is uttered in Congress- people here
canno! bring themselves seriously 10 con-
template a war about Ofegou-t appears
too absurd for serious attention. Never
,heless, it is in the power Of hasly and IN
temperate people 10 preciptaIe matters be.
yond the possibility OF redemption The
mention Of the Oregon dispute in the Brit
lsh Parlisment contrasts strlklngly with the
warfare Of American Senators and mem.

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.
10 the House Of Commons, on the FIST
night Of the session, the Ministerial aud
the Opposition leaders both volunteered eS.
p!anl,lons on the circumstances which LED
10 the late Ministerial cfsls. These ex-
planaIons now belong TO history. Their
interest is merged il the stl!l greater plans
TOR the future which the financial scheme
Of the Premier has developed.
Peel, il would seem, supported by two Of
three OF his coea .ues, wished to open the
ports for The ADMISSION Of corn duty free
when the potato disease became alarming.
The t.slorily Of the Cabiue, opposed his
views, end, fading their differences OILY
~idened by discussion, they went in body
10 the Isle Of Wight. where the Queen was
then staying, and placed their resignation
10 her hands. The So Us qaent results are
patent to the world. To Lord John Rus.

Our republican readers who take an inter

a subsequent night, however, the Duke c
