THE UNITED STATES.  LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—We have received, by the arrival of the packet-skip Cambridge, Captain Barstow, which reached this port at an early hour this morning, New York papers and advices one day later than those brought by the steamer. The debate in the House of Representatives on the Oregon Occupation Bill was suspended, the excitement in connexion with the success of the annexation scheme had experienced a lull, and altogether affairs remained in statu quo The Washington correspondent of one of the journals, under date the 30th ult., remarks that the democracy of the House had become rather alarmed at their belligerent position with regard to England, and expressed on that day a willingness to have the Oregon Bill modified, so as to make it conform to the treaty stipulations; and that their amendment not being prepared, the debate was arrested for that purpose. The same writer gives the following outline of the debate in the House on the 30th ult.:—  " The House to-day was occupied in the consideration of the Oregon Bill, speeches being delivered by Messrs. Thompson, of Mississippi ; M'Clerland, of Illinois ; and Owen, of Indiana, in favour of it ; and by Mr. J. R. Ingersoll and Mr. Elmer, against it. All these gentlemen maintained that our claim to the Oregon territory was perfect, though the two latter were not clear that it could rightfully be extended north of latitude 49 degir..? ; and they, as well as Mr. Owen, were in favour of giving the notice to Great Britain required by treaty, before we attempted to establish a Government on it ; and they expressed their convietions that not to do so could not but be highly offensive to Great Britain, and would be, on her part, a sufficient cause of war against us. Mr. Ingersoll begged gentlemen to reflect where this war that is so much searched for is to be carried on ; it certainly would not be either in the distant territory of Oregon, nor yet at the homes of those gentlemen of the west who were ever so urgently pushing this measure, but it would be on the high seas, wherever our commerce shall float, and throughout our whole Atlantic coast and on our north-eastern frontier; and he asked gentlemen if we were there prepared to meet such an emergency." It is stated that Mr. Calhoun remitted to Mr. Everett by the last steamer a most decided dispatch, demanding from our Government. positive information relative to the refusal given by the authorities of Bermuda some time back to deliver up some slaves who, after murdering a family in Florida, escaped to the island. The Massachusetts Anti-Annexation Convention, after adopting an address stating their views, had adjourned sine die.  oc 1 laNsieer iawd gbea:thanelionin.ttwvoeryfirat branches of inquiry, he =GCr:srEe:—lanYe:Cs taemr Camberwell. resumed before Mr. explicit evidence, the Coroner Carter, ua summed After mt the eeodt hGueepor.: stated, were quite satisfactorily answered, namely, the identity of the bodies and the means by which their death had BtElTßislymEyLsLterlZigs: been caused, which was clearly shown to be the poison of arsenic taken in their tea ; but the third inquiry, as to how and by whom it had been administered, was the question of difficulty. He carefully went over the evidence, and poieted out its bearings as it might affect the three individuals who only seemed to have had any means of access to it, namely, Mr. Montague, Mrs. Montague, and George May, and left it entirely to the jury to say whether any of these, and if any, which, could be in any way held to be culpable. After upwards of two hours' deliberation, the jury, about seven o'clock, returned a verdict " That the deceased persons came to their deaths by having taken the poison of arsenic in their tea, but by whom administered there is no evidence before them to slow."
