All these spring from the same lawless spirit and ought to be put down by public opinion and the authorities acting in obedience to it at once. The truth is, that these ebullitions and isolated erup- tions of the mob spirit wasfanned and encouraged by the miserable politicians of both the great par- ties.

Accompanying this intelligence, we publish a map of the Territory, embracing the lines of boundary as indicated by Great Britain, and also by the United States, together wit! the new line proposed by a Bill introduced into the lower House of Congress by Dr. Duncan, of Ohio. This important subject is now a matter of active correspondence between Mr. Calhoun, the Secre- tary of State, and Mr. Pakenham, the British Minister at Washington. It is suppesed that the negotiations on the subject will termi- mate before the close of the present session ; but what character they may assume by that time it isvery difficult to foretell. It is certain, however, that the Oregon question will be a more direct issue between England and the UnitedStates, than even that of Texas, which can affect only indirectly the relations of the two countries. By the utter negligence of our own government, the British settlers, under the authority of their go- vernment at home and in Canada, have been pene- trating into the territory beyond the line of bounda- ty, and almost taken possession of that undisputed portion which belongs to the United States. This has been continued for such a length of time, that it has almost grown intoa speciesof title, and is looked upon as such by the settlers themselves. But our government and people, and particularly the great West, have been awakened to the importance of recevering this territory—of settling it—and of connecting it with this republic—making Arrraneon Session. The Court took a recess and sat at 4 o’eloek.

Mr. R_ here opened his case. The shaving operations of parcel of stock job bers and banking imposters in this city was well known, and had been felt for along period as a gri the community at large. It was also well know: Thompson had published a most useful and valuable pe- riodical, which not only exposed the frauds of those job on the other hand, are always calm and even tempered, and their performances ex- hibit a firmness and constancy most pleasurable 40 those who know how to enjoy a fine opera. Antogaini is a finished artist. The present company, altogether, is an excellent one, capable of producing very successfully any opera now on the stage ; and, having got through with theiramiable squabbles of last year, which heretofore injured them and the Italian Opera iteelf, they live together now in the happiest manner pos- sible, and upon terms of the strickest democratic brotherhood. We hope they will be wise enough to let this promising state of things continue, and give the public an opportunity of forgetting (which it is rapidly doing) its old dislikes. They may thus reasonably hope that their patronage will be great- ly increased, and that they will eventually realize handsome rewards for their patience and persever- ance. We see, however, that certain sneaking critics in the evening papers, oi the oyster cellar calibre, are still trying their best to create difficulties and disgensions among the troupe. We hope neither of the prima-donna’s is guilty of aiding or abetting this foolish business, which can only have the ef- fect of breaking up the whole concern, destroying the prospects of the Italian Opera in this city for years to come, and displeasing the public, who have a right to feel aggrieved at being made the unwilling spectators of these quarrels. We are sure that no gentlemanly critic, and no decent man would be found mousing about behind the scenes, ing the lawless proceedings of the anti-reat mobs in Renssalear and other counties in this State? This course was pursued by these miserable politi- cians for the purpose of getting the votes of u few of these anti-renters in the various counties. Lt is now time for all parties, and all the great masses of the people, who are the conservators of thie go- vernment, to set themselves in direct opposition to these lawless mobs, and parucularly against the miserable and contemptible politicians who en- courage them in the hope of catching a few votes. Amoustne Impupencs.—There is really often something so amusing in the impudence of the organs of the Corporation, that we cannot help laughing heartily at the creatures, The outcry naturally created by the enormous increase of tax- ation by the Corporation,bothers them a good aeal; but till yesterday they could not muster courage even to make an attempt at extracting the thorn. However, at last they came out with a defence of their oppressive taxation, which, as a specimen of coolness and nonchalance, is probably unrivalled. They start by asserting that the public, in sustain- ing them, will ‘“‘have this great advantage—that they, asa party, can give a satisfactory account of all the money received, let it be more or less; and can show where it has gone, and what has been its equivalent,” This is certainly a most comfortable assurance. Who can possibly be so unreasonable asto grumble? But they go on— “ And becanse it has been deemed necessary to do that which has been neglected by others too leng and because consequently a larger amount of money is wanted than has becn used heretofore, ahue and cry is raised about the greater part of the drafts and acceptances en time loaned by Rogers and Siemm.

In the name ot decency and common sense, then, let our “ would be wits and can’t be gentlemen,” who hang like leeches to the extremeties of the daily press, find some other subject for the there of their oyster cellar specu- lations and sinail beer eriticism Arrains.—We give in our journal of this morning a number of very interesting translations from the leading journals of Paris, commenting on the re- centelection of Mr. Polk in this country. We have already, ata former period, given a number of extracts from the London journals, and the contrast presented by the general tone of the French press will at once strike the American reader with a degree of agreeable surprise. Any one would suppose that the British journals, from an identity of language and custome, and from the direct communication between the two coun- tries, would have a more correct appre- ciation of the peculiarities of this country, and understand our elections and principles, and movements better than any other European journals. Such, however, does not seem to be the care. The Parisian journals of all parties have a much more accurate and philosophical appreciation of the peculiaritiesof American politice and Amer- ican society, than any other journals out of the country. This peculiar feature of the French press is strongly illustrated in the extracts which we give. Indeed, they seem to be so accurate in their views as very naturally to excite the inquiry, why is itso? We can assign no other reason than that they are placed by their position in a neutral atti- tude—they are free from the prejudices and dis- likes of British organs. They look upon American aflairs—American movements—and American par- more money than usual, the fault is not ours—it is to be tound in our predecessors.” “Ts it extravagance to procure that which we ab- solutely stand in need of? Could any thing be more touching—more reasonable—imore modesi— more candid—more satisfactory than this defence? These are, indeed, funny fellows. Their apology for doubling the burden of taxation is equal, only to that of the Irishman, who, after breaking the skull of his neighbor, swears he did it out of pure love and compassion. ments ond receipts, and, I believe, some fact.

Couat—The only question is to ascertsin if Slamm and Rogers had produced this failure by their fraudulent dealings, as charged in the parrgragh. Mr. Rostrsos—We have shown 1! and that no ar- gs guid was made before the commenesment of this suit.

Cof- fee is coming in, though not as yet to much extent; the crops are good, and the quality rather superior ; the prices, however, still keep up, in consequence of the European demand, so that it is impossible to ship it tothe United States without a heavy loss, The market continues to be well stocked with Ameri can provisions; Rice has, however, been somewhat scarce, but the Orion having brought out 50 casks, there is now au abundant supply.

Notwithstanding this, however, there was a crowded houee at the Park, to witness the last ap- pearance of Mr. Anderson, who has made himeelf very popular at this establishment. He is a young man, ol fine intellect, good appearance and a natu- ral and buoyant manner, very fresh and grateful, after the dry, artistical mechanism of Macready and the gigantic melodrama of Forrest.

Some of the principal artists ih the city and neighborhood have already proffered their aid to give éclat to this great occasion. Ole Bull has been among the first—the Seguins will also unite, and possibly Ma- dame Pico, Borghese and the Italian artists. Even the millianaires about town are coming ferth to give it their aid and assistance, and we should not be at surprised if Mr. Astor’s name were down for fifty or one hundred dollars subscription, in order to make the benefit “substantial.” It is ex pected that David Hale will give tne Ta- bernacle gratis, particularly as it is for a bro- . itls'e bRilbsophi d hiever e 88 it is Y speak ill of Rogers; Mr St John, ancothers; [heard a ties—with a philosophic eye, and are therefore en, | ther editor and poet, for David is a little poetical | really takes place, every body would be delighted. | tilesrmy, with offers of paraon and protection to all who | Couns —De you think that the libel is not susceptible | Mr Howard apenk ill of him; 1 was in business at the abled to form a correct understanding of the causes | himself occasionally.

This is the great idea which per- vades the French mind—the French press—and re- gulatesthe French government, locking towards the mighty events of a future age. In all the conflicts, therefore, of opinion and in- terest in which we may engage with the British government or British prejudices, we may look for sympathy and support from France.
