SS ew York, Monday, November 10, 1845. <eoeeeigeene The Oregon Question—-The Crisis. Much sooner than we anticipated is the Oregon question approaching a crisis—a point of interest that will agitate the whole civilized world before it may be determined. There can be no mistake in the signs of the times. A new age is dawning on Approaching the civilized world, and a new era is just breaking in upon the policy of nations. The Texas question was merely the breaking-ground towards the Ore- gon question. The Oregon question is now the pa- ramount topic of the day, and in a short time all the. statesmen, orators, public speakers, writers and Watt Sreeet.—During the last | few days, there has been an extraordinary excite- ment amongst the stock-jobbing cligues in Wall st., Pann Tueatax.—Tue Keane have returned from Baltimore and Philadelphia, “where they met with a _ in consequence of the anticipated position of the | C°Pial reception, and played with the most brilliant journalists, both in Europe and America, will be full | of it, in all its varied aspects and all its conse- quences. We have already given several intimations of the course of policy which is about to be pursuedfby the President in the opening session of Congress. The developments already made in that matter through the columns of the Washington Umon cannot be misunderstood. There can be no question but Mr. Polk, in his message, willtake the same strong, broad, independent, American ground, which he assumed ia his inaugural address, and which excit- ed to such an extent the sensitive feelings of the British people, and the British government.— Renewed evidence of this disposition, on the part of the President and his Cabinet, has been furnished in recent numbers of the same journal; and we annex another article on the question in this day’s paper. In addition to this, we see the great leaders of cliques and parties throughout the country beginning to give forth their opinions on the same subject. Wegive also in this day’s paper @ most remarkable and able speech, delivered by Mr. Webster, in Fanuei! Hall, on the same subject—a speech defining his ground on the Oregon question, and apparently taking up a position in anticipation | that may be hostile to the President on that impor- tant question. Mr. Webster seems to adopt the line of policy which was sanctioned by a resolution of the Senate twenty years ago; that is, he is willing to divide the Oregon territory by the 49th degree of jatitude, aud this position in opposition too, to that of the President, is probably taken in order to unite all,the stock-jobbing, commercial and financial in- tetests” of the country, who are very hostile to any position on that question which might endanger the peaceable relations of this country with England. In the south, and particularly through the columns of the Charleston Mercury, we see intimations of a similar position, but whether it represents Mr. Cal- how Indeed, we think it does not represent the views and sentiments of the great southern statesman. From all these iotimations, however, it is evident that the Oregon question is going to be the great prominent question of the day, and that all the old issues that ‘ave separated parties and provoked discussion,will be buried in oblivion and forgetfulness. This question is decidedly of paramount impor- tance. It is the great question of the day. It is the important starting point from which this country will spring into a boundless empire and a boundless future. There can be no doubt that the time is ap- proaching, and that the day is nearer or farther off, when « publican and monarchical government must take place in some shape or another on the broad bosom of the Atlantic. The prosperity and happiness, and pre s of this country and of the institutions which have made it what it is, are regarded by the higher es of Europe with envy, dread, and the deep- re: opinions, or not, is a matter of much doubt. | | | great conflict between the principles of re- | President onthe Oregon question. The bitterness developed between the “ bulls” and the “bears,” in their various operations, is quite amusing. Even the stock-jobbing journals, in Wall street, are_parti- cipating in the excitement, and are beginning to come out with leaders attacking each other. The Courier, which is a stock-jobbing journal, belonging to one of the cliques, has made a very indecent attack on Camman & Whitehouse, for sell- ing a large amount of stocks, attributing the trans- action to Corcoran & Riggs, bankers, of Washing- ton, and representing that the latter were the prompt- ers and principals of the former. So furious is the war between the ‘ bulls” and the “bears,” that some of them are eloquent in their denunciations of their antegonist, and declare that they would give halt a million to break down such and such a bro- ker. In themeantime, the war of the “ cornerers” and the speculators goes on most gwimmingly. The banks are beginning to participate in the excite- ment, and loan money to their favorite brokers, without any stint or moderation. If a stranger goes into Wall street, between 12 and 2 o’clock, he will see nothing but anxious and excited groups, at every comer, of those agitated stock-jobbers, discussing foreign affairs—debating on the Oregon question—giving intimations of let- ters trom London, and retailing tit-bits which they have received in private correspondence. One day the “bulls” are all covered with smiles and enjoy- ment, the ‘‘bears’’ down in the heel, down in the mouth, and down in every thing. The nextday the “bears” are all sunshine, and the “ bulls” look as grim as death. ‘To the business world, such scenes are only ludicrous and melancholy. We have al- ways observed, in this extraordinary street, that the ** bulls” and the “ bears” eventually become the vic- tims of their own folly, and generally leave the street penniless and beggared. Our Pirors—ArrroacHh or Winter.—There has been much written during the past six or seven years on the subject of Pilot laws and regu- lations, and appeals have been made to the feel- ings of ship-owners and legislators, in behalf of | passengers coming into our port, at the imminent | risk of their lives, in consequence of the inattention | | of Pilots. All this would be well enough, if the writers were acquainted with their subjects. It is, however, not to be denied that a reasonable com- | petition, in any business, will bring forward more energy and attention to its prosecution than a mo- nopoly ; but, is it well to have no restrictions in a business in which so many lives and so vast an amount of property are at stake? The present situation of the Pilot laws is such as to allow very many, who are unfit for the station, to be employed to bring our vessels in, and carry them out of our harbor. And caytais are some- times rash enough to act the pilot to the ships in | their charge, presuming upon the experience of a | few years in traversing the bay in safety, in charge | of those who have been bred te the business; and ing. Our ship-owners and agents should take this into consideration. They should look back a month or two, and ascertain how several vessels came near being wrecked by ,the reckless conduct of those in charge. The stormy winter months are , approaching, and hundreds and hundreds of human beings are on their way hither ; let those the most deeply interested in their fate, examine into the existing pilot system ; let them see if it be safe to permit inexperienced men to act as pilots. Let Congress take hold of the matter, and have it re- he military and naval movements | organized ; let experienced men only be employed. of Bogland and France—the sudden coalition of | Not a single regular New York pilot wouid objeet ee governments—the doubt and mystery which | to this. rrround their policy in regard to this country—the bold declarations of Guizot of an intervention in American affairs, and the practical application of that principle on a small scaleto the South American republics, all tend toshow that something is medi- tated on the other side of the Atlantic of a physical character, calculated to stop the progress and desti- ny of this country to the possession of the whole ot the continent. a monopoly of all the cotton lands of any value in the world, should, in process of time, occupy the whole of the Oregon and all California, with its fine harbor, and if Mexico should fall into the bosom of the republic with all its rich mines, where would be the power of England and the influence of Europe, in opposition to the mighty empire that this country would then present ? The annexation of Texas—now nearly complete, and which will be completed at the next session of Congress—was the preliminary step—the breaking | ground in this great democratic movement. The declaration that the whole of the Oregon territory between 42 degrees and 54 degrees 40 minutes, be- longs to the United States, is the next step, and it may bring us into collision with Engiand before a vear be passed and gone. In this step, it 1s now certain, the American government will persist. When this step is completed, a new era breaks upon the people of both continents, and it may be as well to prepare the minds of the present generation for one of the mightiest conflicts of physical power that ever shook the earth—a confliet which involves the progress of the human race—the destiny of freedom —and the future progress of civilization over the whole of this continent, and over the whole of the globe. Twenty years ago, the Senate of the United States, then a branch of a government representing only probably ten millions of people, was willing to take the 49th degree of latitude ; but now, when we are probably twenty-five millions of people, and in a tew years will be thirty millions of ardent men, possessing one of the richest countries in the world, with intelligence equal to that of the most highly civilized nations, we will hardly be content with permitting England to enjoy a foot of that soil on the Pacific Ocean. Ina party point of view, this movement of the President at Washington will give 4 new aspect to the approaching session of Con- tess and to the discussion of all the questions that may agitate that body. If we should be suddenly brought into conflict with England, all the domestic questions will be considered of little importance, end be settled according to cireumstances. The arifi—the finances—and all other questions, will “ink into insignificance. A powerful effort will be made in the Atlantic cities, and by the stock-jobbing journals, to oppose this bold and determined policy of the President ; but the whole of the mighty West, with all the masses of the people in the Atlantic States, we have no qgubt will come out and support 's administration through and through. The excitement on this great topic has already begun in Wall street amongst the stock-jobbers, and st will soon spread througho the whole country, and agitate the whole of Europe fore three months are over. We expect that the xt message of the President will p:».ducea greater sagation in Europe than any message ever did, and that it will be a bomb-shell thrown upon the masses ot European civilization, scattering the diplomatists tar and wide, and astonishing the highest and the ‘owest by the position which this great country is now about to assume, Our Tueatres.—All our theatres are as prosperous asever, This is really astonishing, when we con- sider “ number now under way. Of seven thea- tres and a circus, five are oj i Probably $20,000 are weekly opent’ tn Guan «musements in this, city. The great prosperity of the city and the success attending all sorts of busi- ess enterprise in these happy days, is the cause of (iis extraordinary theatrical revival, Case or Ponty Booins.—This trial is set down, «ter several postponements, for this day. when the Court will comtence to swear a jury. The difficul- ties hitaerto in the way of procuring a jury, will be more deeply than ever, unless the case takes (urn, which, as yet, we cannot anticipate. Anti-Rentism.—The 29th of this month is the time appointed for the execution of Van Steenburgh and O’Conner, the two anti-renters found guilty of the murder of Deputy Sheriff Steele, in Delaware. Petitions, we understand, are being circulated, \ both in this city and in Delaware, to be presented to , | Governor Wright, requesting him to commute the If the United States, in addition to | , | both ‘places is considerable. This will be a very delicate question for the action of the Governor. | While a large portion of the democratic party are ur- | gent to have the law vindicated, and the offenders executed—another powerlul portion are in favor of | having their sentences commuted. By the latest | accounts the anti-renters are making serious inroads in the democratic ranks, and, from present appear” | ances, are likely to produce a revolution in that par- ty. But whichever way the Governor may act, will not atall affect anti-rentism. We see,by the results of the election, that they poll a considerable vote, suf- ficient to elect their candidates by a large majority. | In our opinion, anti-rentism is destined to show a | powerful front, and will make agreat deal of trouble | hereafter in this State.. | INTERESTING FROM THE ,ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.— | The barque Rosina, Capt. Doty, arrived yesterday | from Rio Grande. She had a passage of forty-eight days, and brings us rather important news relative to the affairs in the Argentine Republic. We learn trom Capt. Doty, that the French and English had taken the towns of Colonia, St. Luis, | Maldanada and Bosco, without any resistance on the part of the inhabitants. After this, the com- bined forces were proceeding up the river to take Buenos Ayres. This intelligence indicates a determination on | the part of England and France to force Rosas to an immediate peace. Tue Crry Hosprrar.—A few nights since, the captain of a vessel now in this port, unfortunately slipped and fell} in Broadway, nearly opposite the Hospital, and fractured his leg. He was carried up to the porter’s lodge, and it is said that after waiting nearly an hour, the party was in an insolent manner denied admission by the porter. We can hardly believe this to be possible, but mention the com- | plant in order that the proper authorities will direct their attention to the matter. PROMENADING IN Broapway.—The crowds which now promenade Broadway from the Battery to Washington Square, are really astonishing. Twen- ty years ago the fashionable promenade extended from Chambers street to the Bowling Green; now it extends three or four times that distance, and the crowd is so great that it is very difficult to get along. Broadway presents during the hours of fashionable promenade, greater crowds than even the Boule- vards or any street in London. Funron Srreet.—Fulton street, as a great scene of business, news, literature, philosophy, and every- thing, is becoming what Wall street was twenty-five years ago. It is the principal centre and focus of all descriptions of intelligence and news. We have no doubt in a short time, many of the banks will have to remove to Fulton street, as a better location than Wall street, which 1s now too far down town. tecmtatiar bala A Nowte Suip.—The well known ship Shaks- peare, formerly one of E. K. Collins’ line of Liver- pool packets, made her last trip from this port to New Orleans in the exceedingly short space of eight days, the quickest on record. She has made from New York to New Orleans in all, eleven trips neither exceeding ten days. With such sailin, where’s the use of steam? - —__ TuearricaL ARRIVALS.—Mr. und Mrs, Charles Kean arrived at theAstor yesterday from the south preparatory to the renewal, this evening, of their professional engagements for a short time at the Park Theatre.

They have con- sented, and the ning. Shakepeare’s Hamlet has been seleeted for their debut. Mr. Kean’s beautiful and classic rendering of the character, and Mrs. Kean’é delicate, chaste und sweet delineation of the fair Ophelia, will never be forgotten by those who witnessed the representation of the im- mortal bard’s noblest creation, on their first engagement. ‘The Keans go to Boston on Thursday, where they play until the firet of December, and then return to this city en route for the south. We have heard it repeatedly ask- ed of late by theatre-goers, ‘ When is ‘Ion’ to be pro- duced ?” “ Will not Mrs. Kean again charm us with her truest, purest and most poetical charaster?” And we ask, in hopes of a ready and favorable response—When shall we have “lon?” No play would dll the walls o! Old Drury so readily. Nothing would create such uni- versal enthusiasm—nothing could give such unbounded e satisfaction and delight. ‘hen let us have “Jon” commencement of the next engagemeat by all me: Mr. Kean would personate Adrastus with all the dig- nity and nerve calculated to render the character ive, and we hope the Keans will yield to the gener 81 voice wnich demands this classic production. let,” next to “Ion,” is perhaps the best calculated to duce the greatest sensation. in, by his beau- ih 1 readings, fine conception, has made the part of the noble Dane entirely his own; while Mrs. Kean, as Ophelia, throws a delicious charm over the whole per- formance. A fashionable and brilliant house will to night greet them. and bestow their smiles and plaudits on their exertions. = t Bowery Tueatne.—To-night Mr. Scott plays Mare Antony, in the tragedy of “Julius Cesar.” ‘This will be" a powerful and classic performance. After the tragedy, the celebrated Rivers’ family appeer inthe “ Enchanted Fountain,” and the evening closes with the ‘ Foulah Slave,” in which Messrs. Cony and Blanchard appear. Lrorotp pe Mever.—The lion pianist has, in the kindest manner, volunteered his valuable services to play at Mr. U.C. Hill’s concert this evening, aud will again perform his Marche Marocane, at the request of a number of fashionable families and amateurs. M. De Meyer has received flattering and brilliant offers from the managers of all the theatres between here and New Orleans. All were anxious to engage him at any price he amount was of very little consequence, so well d were they that overflowing houses would am- ply reward them: He leaves this city, we understand, to-morrow for Boston, where he intends giving one or two concerts, and then proceeds on a grand southern tour. nth im has manifested itself on all this wonderful artiste tnd accomplished bli ‘hile tho doors of I visitors anxious to pay their respects. The same dazzling career awaits him in his southern tour—for Southerners are justly cele- brated for their appreciation of the fine arts, and their warm-hearted, generous, and refined hospitality. New Yorkers, however, will much regret De Meyer's ab- sence, and all lovers of sublime, grand, and beautiful music will sigh anxiously for his return. Mr. Hitu’s Great Frativan Coxcurr is really to be » Concert like the grand musical festivals in England of which we hear so much. That is to say it will com- prise literally all the great talent which can be congre- gated in New York. A huge orchestra, such as has ne- ver before been seen here, and achords equally gigan- tic, will perform some of the test Toon. ce instru- mental works of Rossini, Weber, and Bishop ; and we will venture to say that, not one of the vast conceurse of musicians comp in the band and chorus has not been indebted to Mr. Hill for some professional or perso- nal kindness at some time or other. Leopold de Meyer has to our great surprise consented to play; and will the performance of his famous Marche Maroc The other solo instrumental performers are John Kyle and Alfred Boucher ; the firs nowledged to be the first flutist in the country, and the second hold- ing equal rank upon a greater, indeed the greatest and most difficult instrument in the world, the violoncello.— Madame Otto, Miss Northall, and Mr, Aupick are the vocalists, so we only fear that the number of the per- formers is so great, that five or six hundred people will thereby be deprived of seats. Ove Butt ano His Late Fansweit. Conoret.—Our readers are aware that this celebrated violinist gave a concert, lately, forthe benefit of the Masonic fraternity, which was announced as his farewell concert in this country. This announcement, we have from the best authority, was unauthorised by the violinist himself, and made by an individual attached to the Masonic fraterni ty, on his own responsibility, for the purpose of enhanc- ing the proceeds as muchas possible.

If aman has talent, is it not his own property, conferred by the Al mighty, like his own sunshine? to remain at Niblo’s another week, as hundreds of per sons who have wished to see him have been forced away by the crowd, who attended there, and other circum- stances.

Tremrteton ano Umpretias—Tur Rainina Sincen or tHe Day.—On Monday last, when the celebrated | Templeton made his first’ appearance in Boston, ho ne- | glected, among his other arrangements, to make one with the weather. Accordingly, the rain fell in torrents during the whole day. This was certainly throwing cold water on the prospects of the evening; but the ar- dor of the Bostonians was not to be damped even by the | tain; and many, like King Lear, madly sallied forth in the storm, mentally inviting the “ winds” to ‘ blow and crack their cheeks” before they would turn back. Oth- ers, more anxious to escape “the pelting of the pitiless storm,” but equally mad to hear the ‘lion vocalist,” for- tunately bethought themselves of a dernier resort—the music stores—where, a5 most ot our readers may recol- lect, the dealers in music add to their stock oF piano fortes, flutes and fiddles, an immense assortment of um- brel.

The interior presents one of the gaye animated scenes to be found in the city. Tne Derey Trourr.—Miss Delcy, Mr. Lacy, and Mr. Gardener, appear at the Park next veal, h on they wit bring out the grand opera of the “Bride of Laimmer- muir,” which has never yet beon produced in this coun- try. Itis represented, however, to be one of the most beautiful, thri and magnificent operas on the stage. 8 Delcy’s role is sa dmirably adapted to her id voice, which has ever been remarkable for its purity. A glorious musical treat may accordingly be anticipated. The Ethiopian Serenaders, Messrs, Germon, White, Stanwood,Pelham and Harrington, are delighting the Baltimoreans with their sweet melodies. st and most Sporting Inteltig: Trorrine Maren serweex Lavy SurvorK, Moscow, ano Dureness.—These three crack animals come to- gether to-day on the Centreville Course, L. 1, if the weather is at all tavorable—it being the last time this fall.

The supporters of Moscow must be on their guard, for he is not in‘irst rate order; his heels are cracked, but notwithstanding he may make # good trot, and he piay not.

If the weather does not promise favorably for the match to come off, timely notice will be posted at the different ferries, and on the bulletin board of this paper. From Santa Fx.—On board the Archer, from the Missouri river, there were three merchants, just from Santa Fe. They have, we heard, performed the trip in an incredibly short space of time—having been only twenty-three days in passing from Santa Fe to Inde- pendence. The company waa but a small one, only ten wagons having arrived, These gentlemen have with them nearly forty thousand dollars in apecio, and are hastening to the east, to parchase goods, We cannot learn that they briny i any political news, Nor have we Vey to hear of the progress of the outward-bound There were apprehensions, it will be re- collected, of much suflerin p %. on account of the scarcit of water on the ronte, hut wo presume, from the ntrivel af this company, that this difficulty was much magnified.

This situation is deplorable, and one cannot without tears think of the fate of the republic, if those who governit do not rule with a wise and stong haud. The Camanches have renewed their incursions into the Department of Durengo. They penetrated by three distinct routes and in strong force about the middle of September. ‘They butchered and plundered, as ustal, carrying off numbers of prisoners, and cattle and horses Only the earliest of their ravages wero well ascertained, but every day brought news of fresh atrocities. The in- habitanta were in a state of consternation, and had called upon the Government for aid in establishing a chain of posts to hold incheck the savages. The authorities of the department had exhausted all its means in staying the progress of the evil. Letters had been received from Gon. Garcia Conde, dated from Santa Fe. He was about setting forth on an excursion to Taos. He had heard of a band of American emigrants who had just crossed the Napeste, asserting that they were on their way to California and Oregon. These he proposed to disperse, and to return with all speed to Chihuahua to meet the Camanches. Itis ludicrous to read the groanings and repinings of the papers of Matamoras and Tampico at the dilatory movements of the Mexican troops. ‘They seem to ex- pect to be eaten up by Gen. Taylor's troops, and it comes very hard to them to express resignation’ to their fate.

Sules for exporta- tien are made at 22s 6d, to 28s 6d, according to quality.— a cargo of Cerolina sold at 228, while the other half was held at 24s. Holders of American produce were circula- ting reports that Mexico had declared war with this country, in order to advance the market, but no credit was given to the rumors, and the market remained flat. ‘The population of Jamaica, in 1844, according to the the Despatch, was 377,433. Of this number 31 were returned as having no occupa- tion: that is to say, a number exceeding one third of the whole population of Jamaica were doing nothing.

Any one who has acquain- tance with the labor which is now obtainable on Sugar estates will bear us out in stating that the average num- ber of effective laborers to be met with throughout the Island, does not exceed forty for each estate. We speak Of the average, because some estates may have more, while many never see so largea gang. ‘The Journal of yesterday estimated the number of Sugar estates at 614, So that at the above estimate there are not more than 25,600 laborers engaged in the cultivation of Sugar, cut ofa laboring population amounting, ten years ago, to 200,000.” This is acondition of society, continues the Despatch, vell deserving the attention of the British people. It is fraught with evils far beyond the mere injury to private interests which must result from the impossibility of cultivating estates and producing stigars without labor. It holds outa prospect ot public calamity as the results of emancipation, whicl e most reckless will fear to contemplate.

They urged, with much warmth, the cause which every christian may be supposed to have at heart, and spoke of the spirit of lukewarmness manifested in many churches toward this interesting work.
