ship bu iders and commercial men. The Cam

for she is considered the fastest of the Cunard

Great Britain, has made the shortes, passage on

The steamship tllbernia wall be due at Boston
tomorrow, with fifteen days later intelligence from
all parts of Europe.
The Great Western will be due at this port in
one week from tomorrow, with six days later
,.psws than will be brought by the first named
Steamer.
The Hibernia viii bring out rather important
intelligence. We shall probably receive by her
the ratification of the Oregon treaty by the British
government. This treaty went out in the West
ern, and reached England about the 9th ult., and
there will, therefore, have been ample time for
its ratification, before the departure of the Hlber-
MIA.
Apart from this, however, the Intelligence by
this steamer will be interesting. We are curious
to know the success of the new English ministry.

Adjournment OF COngress-BusIness OF Both
Houses.
In little more than one week-or a week from
Monday--both houses of Congress adjourn. In
the meantime, there are several important bills to
perfect and pass
The Independent Treasury bill is under
consideration in the Senate, and will proba-
which will require the concurrence of the House
before it becomes law. This bid may fall, be-
tween the two houses and go over until another
session. 1t would be much better for the country
at large if they would drop it altogether if it can
not be put into operation upon a proper prin-
ciple We do not want independent treasu-
ny, having connected with it department
of issue, as proposed by the Chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee but we want
connected in any way or in any shape with paper
ISSUES. So far as the treasury notes of the gov
eminent are concerned, they must come into the
independent treasury much specie but
nothing looking like a bank issue should, after
certain time be received.
We were opposed to the independent trea-
sury bill rs il came from the lower House,
entirely on account OF the short time given
for the specie clause to go into operation,
no other. and only on that upon point of time
AS Objectionable as the immediate commencement
of that provision was, it cannot be more so than
the other extreme. proposed in the Senate. There
might Just as well be n charter for an immense
national nank granted at once, as to give the
Secretary of the Treasury an unlimited authority
to issue Treasury drafts
The Warehousing Bill drags slowly in the
House, There is very little doubt, however, but
that it will pass. There are many bills on the
calendar OF both Houses which will be passed
aver and carried forward to the next session: but
most of the important measures, of financial or
commercial nature, will pass in some shape.
