| tinue just as at present, with the altera-
ton of sailing from Liverpool as we'll as
from Boston, always on Saturdays, in
stead of fixed day of the months, as at
present. The steamers to New York
will also take their departures always on
Saturday. BY this arrangement there
will be steamer from Liverpool to
America every Saturday, and from the
American side also every Saturday, the
only difference being that Boston and
New York will alternately be the ports
Of departure.
The European Times of the 9th ult.
says
"six months ago fears of rupture
with the United States were general.
Now they have disappeared. Not the
least commotion was visable yesterday,
when it became known that the Senate
had passed the resolution for giving the
notice, and, as we have intimated in
another column, it had no visible effect
on the cotton or any other market.
This is most gratifying. We are now
in the second act of the Oregon drama,
under MIR. Polk's managemen-may
the concluding one be as satisfactory
and pacific.
From the Manchester Examiner we
extract the following:-
"Now the long debate is at an end,
the field of negotiation is again opened;
and we hope and believe, that both Co..
vernments will enter into it with a full
determination to adjust a question
which, however really unimportant to
either country, has for some time given
rise to serious apprehensions, lest the
peace of the world be disturbed.
The London Sun discourses in this
wise -
"The Senate of the United States af.
ter nine weeks tedious discussion, have
at last brought their deliberation on the
Oregon to close, and resolution as
mild and inofensive, and indeed friend
y towards England, as the most sincere
advocate Of peace i'll both countries de-
sire-with a few exceptions, at least, as
| far as our attention has been directed to
the long speeches-the language was
conciIiatory and prudent-it displayed
but little of the animosity which distin-
guished the harangues in the House of
Representatives. The speakers in gen.
eral, showed that they were practical
men, and resolved to follow safe and
peaceful line of conduct, spite of the fe-
ry denunciations of the mob orators, and
and the no less fiery and warlike Mes
sage of the President"
We could fill in this way, a column,
with extracts from various papers, ali
breathing the same amicable spirit.
But we have furnished sufficient we
think, to satisfy the friends of peace, that
our difficulties with England are in
fair way of adjustment.
IRELAND.
The accounts from various parts of
Ireland, as to the wants of the
people, are painfully apparent. One
day last week sixty people were admit
ted into the poor house at Dungraven.
At Tuam the dcstitution is described as
being fearfully on the increase.
The Relief Committees in Galway
are busy in meeting the evil. The peo-
pie are stated to be in the most wretched
condition imaginable. Towards the
Listowel Relief Fund the Lord Lieu
tenant has subscribed the sum of 500
pounds. In various parts of Tipperary
efforts are being made to meet and pro-
vide for the deficiency in the food of the
people.
