Foreign Arrivals.

The steamers Arabia and Ericsson ar
rived at New York on Friday last The
former bringing Liverpool dates to the
3ls, ult., and the latter TO the 28lh uL''
The news by these arrivals is quite inter
estng, the public mind in England haY-
ing again been excited in regard TO the
aspect of American relations. The re-
cognition of Walkers Minister by our
Government so closely on Lord CIaren-
don's amicable advance has excited much
surprise, and it was rumored that Lord
Elgin would 90 as PIeniPotentary to
Washington as the last chance to avert
war. The news Of Champions dIsms-
sal had not reached England when the
steamers sailed, or the war intelligence
would probably have been of more aiar-
ming character.
p. S.--The steamer America from LlV-
erpool arrived oil the 10Th inst. bringing
dates 10 the 9Th inst. There was much
talk respecting the American difficulty
but only talk. The fact that Mr.. Cramp-
ton had been dismissed has been announ-
ced. but il had scarcely affected the funds.
The Daily News says although there IS
universal dislike at the idea of war with
America, still doubts begin to arise IN ma
nv minds whether England's concliaiory
department has not been carried quite as
far as prudence dictates ; and whether
President Pierces Cabinet are not pre-
Stunning too much on their knowledge OF
England's desire for peace.

Creosote a Cure for .4gue.-In some

rustics have a novel cure for certain ague.

The disease has speedily disappeared, al

covered that "physicians were in vain"

THE AMERICAN CAMELs IN UsE.-Thit-
ty-two camels brought from Smyrna, i'll
the United States storeship Supply, to-
gelher with two born on the passage,
were safely landed on May 18th, at Indi-
anoIa, in Texas, and have since been put
in use, to some extent, in carrying Gov
eminent stores, to the great terror of the
horses and mules and the equal delight
of wonder seekers in that vicinity. Most
of them have shed their hair on the vOy-
age, and are more or less perfectly ma
ked, bot are represented as in perfect
health and spirits. The dromedaries, nine
in number, are designed for "eXpress,"
and the camels for "slow freight trains
across the great dry and roadless plains
and prairies Of the Southwest. They arc
accompanied by two Turks and three
Arabs, and can carry loads on walk as
fast as an ordinary bad horse can trot.
The experiment, so far, has been very
successful, and it will probably soon be
indicated whether these oriental monsters
can be made of any material service on
this continent.

The Crops Of the United States.-,-
The Philadelphia Inquirer says the intel,
Iigence generally in relation to the crops
is favorable. In nearly every secnon of
The Union the promise is encouraging.
The land is likely to TEEN with abun-
dance, and should no untoward event oc-
cur, We shall no: only have enough OF
breadstuffs for our own consumption, but
vast surplus to export TO foreign coun-
tries. True, from some points we have
complaints, but they are few and far be-
tween. 1t is yet, however, too early TO
speak with confidence, and thus prices
will rise and fall with every change OF
weather.
Last year the harvest was rich, and as
a consequence, -four, wheat, and corn,
are comparatively low. The blessing Of
abundan, crops cannot be too deeply APP
precialed. There are within our borders
upwards oftwenty five millions of mouths
TO feed, and the reader may form some
idea of the immense aggregate of grain
that is required to supply the wants Of so
vast a multitude.

OF Speaker by the plurality vote and if no choice
be made at the next three trials, then proceed to
vote UlUa He said if the resolution adopted
a ajorty must concur in the election, and it would
devoIva upon the Americans to choose between Orr
and Banks
Mr.. Letcher thought The resolution would certainly
result in the election of Banks
Mr.. BoYce opposed the resolution.
Nr Humphrey Marshall thought the Democrats
would generally vote against the resolution or that
there would be sufficient division in their ranks to
effect an adoption.

A NeW Idea.

We notice that the Washington Union of the isl
alludes to the idea thrown out in various quarters
with reference to the power of the President 10 adj
iourn Conprsss under certain contingencies. The
Union saws that this idea was thrown out in the
House of REPRESENTATIVES on the day previous, by
Judge Crawford of Georgia, in the course of few
remarks submitted by him, on his resolution 10 elect
a Speaker on the principle which President is
elected by the House of Representatives-each State
having one vote The Constitution gives 10 the Pres-
dent the power to convene Congress on extraordinary
occasions, and to adjourn ii also in case OF dIsa-
greement between the two Houses to the time Of
adiournment. The following is the clause in the
Constitution TO which reference has been made:
Art O. SEC. 3. He 0he Presidency shall. from time to
time give the Congress information Of the state Of the
Union recommend their consideration such
as he shall Judge necessary and expeden he may, ex-
traordinary occasions convene both houses, either OF
them ard IN case Of disagreement between them with
spee to the time Of adioWnmcnt he may adjourn thelh 70
such time az he may think proper, &c.
We confess that even it, under this clause, the
President could adjou,n Congress, we could see no
practical result for good likely TO flow from The eXer-
else of such power, since he could not d@g0lUe the
House, and no matter when that body might meet
again it would be composed Of the same members
The fact is, that the thing now appears to be
narrowed down to point-a general resignation, Of
perhaps Banks. VIII there be this general resigna
ton We think that questionable, since il
must be evident to many members that the result Of
contest in the districts for which they now occupy
seats would be to unscat them. Take for instance
Pennsylvania. In that State the very grea, aority
Of the districts from which Free Soil and Know No
thing members were elected Fall before last, went
last Fall, by very decided majogitcg for theNalona
Democratic candidates 1t is indeed, marked ind
cation Of the relative confidence Of parties in tn
verdict Of the country; that all or nearly ALL thes
propositions for resignation and a submittal to tn
judgment of the country come from the Democrat
members, and that they are uniformly rejected b,
the opposition OF whatever shade.
