Washington letter writers say that the
British Minister has received advices from
his government that England willnot sub
nit another proposition for the adjustment
of the Oregon difficulty. We cannot rely
upon this rumor, though there may be some
ground for it. If it should prove true, war
will no. only be imminent but inevitable

The Commercial Bulletin is the name CT a new
paper published at Boonville in this State, by j.
T. Qu.senberry. Its Typographical appearance
is decidedly neat; and the first number is edited
with much spirit and ability. If it, future issues
equal the present number, it will soon command
an extensive patronage. Mr.. Que'enberry Is
democrat, and we have reason to hope that he
will be an efficient co-laboror in the good cause.

"Where, Where" echoed the group, and
he pointed out what he hoped to be the ABB
sent boat. They eagerly strained their
eyes, but could see nothing; in q few ma.
lments, however all perceived a sai';-stiu
it was impossible to tell the direction III
which its course lay.
Then was the agony Of SUSPENSE; it con-
ltinued, however, but a short time! a boat
vas evidently advancing towards the shore;
in a few minutes, they could clearly per-
l~ceive a man at the bow, waving his hat a.
bove his head, and soon after the well known
bark Of Neptune was born to them by tho
breeze. The family rushed to the extreml-
~ of the rude pier, and the loud huzza OF
the fisherman was answered by the swell
come, welcome Of his father, and almost
Iina~rticulate '1hank Cod" of his wife.
And now all was joy and Happiness in the
cottage where there lad been so much
wretchedness; the fisherman, his boy, and
his dog. were safe from the perils Of the great
deep: but he would return no answer to the
Questions as to what had detained him so
long beyond the usual period of his return.
''Wait, my wife," said he, until We have
and refreshed ourselves, and you
shall know oil, but before do either, let US
bless God for his mercy, fol out Of danger
he hath preserved u.s."
