NEW YORK HERALD. 546. New York, Monday, February News from Europe It is fair to suppose that a packet, with late news, will soon arrive. We may, at any rate, honrly look for one, and also for the steamer Mas- sachusetts. The latter is in her twenty-fifth day, if she sailed at her appointed ime Special Express OVER THE ATLANTIC. IMPORTANT DESPATCHES. There conunues to be considerable excitement and curiosity manifested relative to the sailing of the clipper /piloteer, Wm. J. Romer. tun, as any thing can be in this world, that she will ail this noon, for Liverpool. It is cer- We hear various reasons assigned for the sailing of this fast sailer for England, but the general opi- nion among intelligent men appears to be, that she | has been chartered by some oue connected with the British Lmbassy, to carry out important despatches to the British government. It seems, from what we learn, that if she does not go for us, she will carry a special messenger to convey, as speedily as possible, the important correspondence that has lately passed between Messrs. Pakenham and Buchunan, includ- ing the refusal of this government to leave the Ore- gon matter to arbitration. We expect to receive, some time this morn- ing, later intelligence from Washington, in time to send in the Romer. Her letter bags close at 11 o’clock. Highly Important from Washington, Oregon Negotiations—Turning Point of the Century. The intelligence which we received yesterday afterncon, and which we announced, in the morn- ing, that we should receive, is of an highly im- portant character. We have received it in time to send to England in the express pilot boat, that leaves this noon tor Liverpool. It will be perceived, on reference to the news from Washington, in another column of this day’s paper, that the President sent.to Congress, on Sat- urday, copies of the correspondence that has lately passed between Great Britain and the United States, in relation to the Oregon question. It will be seen, at the same time, that the statements that we have made, and upon the accuracy of which we have in- sisted, in opposition to all other papers, the Union inclusive, are proved to be correct in every partic- ular The intelligence now published, speaks for itself. We will, therefore, proceed to. give what other important information we have received, affecting | the same question. The position of the Oregon question, between the United States and England, has now reached a most important crisis. According to the best infor- mation, there is no doubt that negotiations, which have been re-opened at Washington by Mr Pakenham,will result, probably in good time, upon a basis of compromise similar to the offer which had been twice made by the United States, but which | had been refused by England. The position of | England, within the last few years, has compelled | the government of that country to moderate some of the conditions on which her various negotiators planted themselves, and to meet, in a more compro- mising spirit, the propositions heretofore offered by the United States. But while England has, by the | change of time and the gradual progress of affairs, | been under the necessity of coming nearer to a | point of settlement in the matter, the United States, | from the course of public opinion and the growth ot natural everts, have been receding farther from their former opinions, and claiming a greater extent } of territory in that region. “ w iiwnow said, on such authority as will satisfy | reasonable men, that Mr. Pakenham has received full power from his government to open negotia- | tions, either on the old basis ot the proposition | which was formerly offered by Mr. Gallatin, or on | nearly the same as that offered by Mr. Buchanan, It is further said, that while the British negotiator approximates the offer made by the United States, the United States is receding, and the government actually has been deliberating to insist upon hav- ing the whole territory, down to 5440, and have therefore refused the offer of the British govern- ment to arbitrate, and will take the chance of ac- | complishing their purposes by future events and con- tngencies. In the meantime, Mr. Pakenham will sead the last correspondence, by express, to Lon- | don, and bide his time to make, perhaps, another | proposition. It will be perceived at once, that we are now in the midst of a most important and delicate crisis, the affairs of Oregon. The United States has now, | throuzh the action of our Government, reached the turning point of the century, in our foreign rela- tions. This country will have been an independent Nation seventy years on the next fourth of July. It ie now a full-grown power of the civilized world, ex ercising a most important influence on all the Chris- tian nationsof the earth, bothin peace and war— in civilization, commerce, and every thing that can benefit the human race. {tis important, therefore, that the government of such a country should take such a position, and adopt such a course of conduct, as will tend to promote the happiness of the human family, and command the respect of nations. It is evident that the Oregon negotiation has now reached a crisis from which will spring the turning point in the destinies of the human family. If peace be | upon the communication or report of Alderman | secured by reasonable compromise between the two leading countries of the world, we may pre- sume upon a long career of prosperity, religion, in- telligence, literature, and every thing that can benefit or delight civilization. In a state of peace, we are the rival of the greatest nation of the old world. We are also the leading spirit of the age, in all political and religious reforms. Our example will tend to produce great rational and peaceable reforms in the old world—and, in process of time, change society, religion, and government, throughout all the nations of Europe. The conflict will be continued, but it 18 a conflict of peace. It is the war of mind, of morals, and of intellect—the campaign of genius; and not that of rude and barbarous arms, and the elements of death Such is the prospect, in the event of a peaceable termination of this controversy. On the other hand, if by any influence a change should occur, if the United States Government should throw themselves upon the whole of their rights, and insist upon having the whole of the Oregon territory, down to 40—as they apparently seem disposed to do—then the course of things will be entirely dif- ferent—excitement in our own country—alarm abroad—everything that can provoke the two na- tions gradually to put themselves in a hostile attitude to each other, will be encouraged by the circum- stances of the time, and the estrangement of the two Governments; the consequences of which would be a tremenduous political struggle through- out the country, and a complete revolution in par- ties. In due course of time, the example of the United States, on America and Europe, according to the mevitable laws of nature, would produce a | change in government, and a revolution in dynas- | ties, which the reforming spirits of the age in this country would seek through war, battle, fire, and | the sword. Thus, the retusal to submit to reason- able terms, and to persist in the whole of our claims © Oregon, would naturally lead to a hostile feeling n both countries, which, by little and litde, would lead to war of the most desperate kind It will be seen, therefore, that the position of tHe eon question is most important, as regards the fature history of this countf and of the world. If reasonable terms be offered and accepted, we may have years of peace betore us, during which we may cultivate the aitainment of those eerie are of the highest benefit to civilization. On the other hand, | it the approaches of the British negotiator continue to | be repelled, and our Government believe that the mass of the people would sustain them in insisting upon claiming up to 54 40, that mighty fact would lead to eventsof the most exciting character far different from those that would grow out of peace- ful relations. Alleyes will be turned towards Washington dur- ing this negotiation, in order to discover from tke decision, what the probable history of the country, and of civilization for centuries hereafter, may be. —— Progress OF Reticion—Dr. Pise’s Lecture.— We give, in another part of this paper, a report of a lecture delivered by Dr. Pise, in St. Peter’s church, in this city, om Suaday, the 1st instant. As might be expected, it maintains the greater sanctity and purity of the Catholic sect, in preference to all others into which Curistianity is divided. It is one of a series of those learned, antiquarian and religious discussions which have marked the course of several distin- guished ecclesiastics conrected with the Catholic church in this diocese. We are pleased always to givs currency to these temperate and argumentative discourses of the va- rious sects, Catholic and Protestant. In former ages, the Christian churches have not only been di- vided into various sects and parties, but each party regarded the other with the most bitter feelings of animosity, which have resulted in irreligion and bloodshed, in all countries. We trust that a new , dawn is breaking on this happy republic, and that by the aid of the newspaper press,the different Christian sects, Catholic and Protestant, may be permitted to inculeate each o.her’@doctrines in a temperate and rational manner, without invading the personal or political rights of each other. We are happy that @ new spirit has recently burst forth in this hemis- phere, and thet the excesses committed in the name of religion, in Boston and Philadelphia, have at last taught men to become more mild and chari- table towards each other. Thus far, it would ap- pear that the Catholics have begun this reformation of common sense, ahead of their brethren of the Protestant sects; and to no two clergymen has the community been more indebted for producing this happy change, than to Drs. Pise and Power, of this city, both Catholic clergymen. Every sect of Christianity has its own peculiar dogmas, the Ca- tholic as well as the Protestant; and in this land of civil and religious liberty, they may be permitted to enjoy those dogmas as they choose, without in- curring the hatred and persecution of opposing sects, who go to h€aven by a diflerent road, and patronise an opposition line. The Catholics are steadily increasing in this coun- try. This is owing to their superior tactics and re- 1 turning good sense, and we trust that all sects into which Christianity is divided, will adopt the same course; and that from this day forward, all religious acrimony will cease, and then in truth we may say | the millenium has just commenced. Irattan Opzra.—By intelligence we have receiv- ed from Havana, we learn that the Italian Opera company, after completing théir engagements in Cuba, may be expected at New York in the month of April. Among them are Mademe Pico and Sgr. Valtellini, too well known to the ad- mirers of the Opera in this city to require exiended mention. ~Tomasi, we are informed, had just arrived from Mexico, and we suppose will, with the others of this distinguished troupe, arrive in New York at the same time.— Signor Marti, the director of the theatre at Havana, is also expected here at the same time— with him will come, as we are given to understand, | a celebrated soprano, a native Cnbanese, of whose i powers of voice, and skill as an artist, we find the | most flattering accounts in the Havana papers. We | understand that it is the intention of Sgr. Marti to | bring with him a splendid wardrobe and theat- | rical property, to aid in bringing out the opera ee A dewey wlowy wit PlEBUTE, Inar-amMong ray these charming artistes, Borghese will arrive with theothers of the troupe. We would recommend that the Park Theatre should be engaged, as preferable to any other building in the city, for bringing out the “Ttahan Opera.” We have already men- tioned Sgr. Tomassi. account of the production of Donizetti’s celebrated opera of “ Belisarius,” at the Opera House in Ha- vanna. The piece is described as having been ad- mirably played, and was received with unbounded applause. Sr.: Tomasi, on this occasion, made his debut in the character of Belisarius, and his success is represented as most complete. The Havannese are represented as filled with enthusiasm at his charm- ing voice and great power of expression. The suc- cess of the company at Havanna has been most complete ; their performance was, it is said, a per- fect triumph of art. Of Madam Pico, the Spanish 4m | critics speak as follows: ‘Senora Rosa Pico was | most successful in her part—whatever she under- | took, she executed with brilliancy and perfec- | tion. Her voice is full and majestic, and she is exceedingly happy in all her notes, both | high and middle, having a perfect command of her voice, with great powers of expansion.— In the cavatina le Romeo t’uccise un Figlio, she was rapturously applauded ; as, also, in the duet with Julietta” Sr.Valtellini appeared in the same opera— | “The Capulets of Bellini”—and though his part did not afford much scope for his peculiar talents, he ex- | hibited his usuallpower and ability. Common Covnci.— There will probably be a special meeting of both Boards this evening, for the purpose of taking into consideration and acting Hart, in reference to an amendment of the City Charter, which, in case of its acceptance and adop- tion by the Common Council, will be submitted for the approval of the electors of the city and county, | on the second Tuesday in March next. We understand that the Joint Committee on Po- lice, Watch, and Prisons, will also recommend some change in the appointing power—at least, so far a8 policemen are concerned—which, it adopted, will deprive the assesors from having any voice in the nominations of public officers, who, for the future, are to hold their situations for the term of four years, unless removed for misconduct, &c. ; and that their nominations will emanate from the | Aldermen andjAssistant Aldermen of the respective wards. Miuitia Rerorm.—We have before us an act in- troduced by Mr. J. D. Stevenson, and reported by Mr. Hail, which was read twice and referred to the committee on the,militia and public detence,propos- ing some important amendments as connected with theginfantry of this city and country. Among the most important of the sections of this act, is that of section 17, wherein a most plausible modification is submitted, conditioning that no fees shall be allowed to other members of the board comprising a Court Martial, for the trial of delin- quents, than that of the Judge Advocate. This is really an important amendment, and will have the effect to do away with much of that which is now , considered odious and reprehensible.

Sunday, Feb. 6-6 P. M. Political movements and events are becoming s» plen- ty and so important, and our foreign and domestic affairs are becoming so unsettled and involved in so much mys tery, that confidence in commercial operations has be- come almost completely destroyed, and stock specula- tors are afraid to move one way or theother. There ap- pears to be almost a universal disposition to wait the result of the many movements going on, before becoming more deeply involved. In consequence of this feeling» | there has been very little business done within the past week or two, in any department. ‘Wail street has been particularly quiet; and the prin- cipal object of the speculators in that neighborhood, has deen to just keep the wheels in motion, to keep the ma” chinery in order,and,the water in the boilers warm,ready | for a start at any moment. We annex a table exhibiting the quotations for stocks in this market for each day of the past week, and at the close of.the week previous. There appears to have been a steady decline in prices since last Saturday. In some jmstances there has been a slight advance, but the gene- accident has jen him.

Frem the complexion ef our advices from Washing: ton, we should judge that a crisis in some of the politi- cal movements was close at hand; that some develope: ments were about being made thet would change the face of our foreign relations very materially; that the Oregon question, in particuler, would either soon be satisfactorily settled, or the differences between this country and Great Britain upon the points of boundary in that territory, materially widened; that our foreign af- | fairs generally, willbe much improved or much mere | unsettled. There has been for many months past a vast | quantity of speculation as tothe probable result of sll the questions at issue, but we are even now inas much doubt as ever; but there appear to be movements go. ing on, that are likely to bring some of the pointe at ia. | Sue to a crisis very soon. The steamship Cambria, from Liverpool, hes been a, sea four days; she will be due at Boston on or about the ‘20th inst., with thirty-one days later intelligence from Europe, unless some of our peekets should alip in, in the meantime. By this steamship we shall without doubt, receive the Queen's speech, and at least tendays of the | doings in Parliament, and some more definite informa- tion in regard to the position of the Ministry in relation to the Oregon question. From the Queen’s speech, but more particula:ly from the sta'emeuts the Prime Minis- | ter will be called upon, and be compelled to make in the House of Commons, we shall get a move satisfactory in sight into this question; the progress made in negotia- tions, the expectations, ultimatum and determination of the British government, as toa division of the north western territory. We shall be able to see bow the question stands, and receive more important develop- | ments than we could get from ourown government during the pendency of the affair. With all the secrecyand mystery that the government of Great Britain maintain | in all their movements, more decided information is from time to time obtained during the session of Parliament,in relation to public affairs, than from any other government in creation, and we are very sanguine of receiving,by the steamship Cambria, very full and decided accounts from the British Parliament, regarding the questions at i-eue between the governments of the Unite. States and Great Britain. The next advices from Europe will therefore be of very givut importance, and the piblic are beginning to got very anxious for the steamers arrival. The excite- ment at Washington and in this city, growing out of the numerous reports in existence, areate « much gtronger desire for leter news from the other side, than would otherwise exist, and this excitement is likely to increase as the day of the steamer’s arrival approaches. We do not anticipate the receipt of such valuable and important. commercial intelligence, as that of a political character. The repeal of the corn laws, or at leasta very important modification, the commercial classes of this country ex- pect, and any movement in Parliament to that effect, would no more than meet their anticipations.
