followed each other in quick succession, and OF which
the end is not yet, the leading periodicals OF t'reat
Britain have become invested with degree Of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground b.tween the hasiy, disointed, and essarly
imperfect records Of the newsp pers, aud the e!aeo-
and ponderous reatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,

The Commerce ON the Pacific and the ENst.-'--
The vast commerce of the Pacific Ocean and the
East, instead of going to Europe by clreutous and
dangerous routes, is destined It is generally believed,
to pass directly through the United States. This
country is to be the medium of this magnificent trade
To give the reader an opportunity OF estimating the
immensity of those interests at single glance, the
Washington Union publishes table of the countries
washed BY the waters of the Pacific with their res
pective populations whose may be entirely
controlled by the United States. These show an ag-
gregate population of 43900000o SOULS or one half
the whole population of the globe That population
inhabit countries stretching through every latitude
and climate, and producing every variety of product
known to the torrd and temperate zones, and produ
cling the most valuable staples of commerce. The
means by which to control this trade, the Union
says are to be found in the settlement of the Oregon
and California Territories erecting them, in due
time, into States Of convenient size and In control

tai Tor in that event, accidentally commerce will
