NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Tucsday, March 24, 1846. ——_————_____— We give in this morning's Herald, a very impor- tant and interesting letter from our London corres- pondent. {t should be read by every one. Arbitration—The Effect of Its Refusal. It is the general impression that the next news from England, in a political point ot view, will be of the most unfavorable character. The effect ot this anticipation is already showing itself in the financial snd commercial circles. It cannot pe disputed but that the government and people of Great Britain have cause to complain of the course pursued by our government, in relation to this question. The re- fusal to arbitrate, because an acceptance of that offer would amount to an acknowledgement of a claim of Great Britain to a portion of the Oregon territory, cannot but create « feeling, not only in England, but throughout Europe, very unfavorable © the position aud claims of the United States, The position taken by the President, in all his public documents, gives us to understand that our title to the whole of Oregon is indisputable; and the last letter of Mr. Buchanan, in the last correspondence, gives us to understand that the government will not in any way admit that Great Britain has the slightest claim to an inch of the territory south of filty-tour forty. Every act of the administration, siace it came into power, in relation to this question, (if we except the offer made to compromise on the forty- ninth degree, which was made merely out of re- ‘spect to the previous President, and withdrawn im- mediately after its refusal,) has plainly pointed to 5440, and nothing less. Notwithstanding these things, Senators, pretending to be in the confidence of the executive, state that he does not claim the whole of the territory—that he is in favor of compromising the matter, and that he will continue to make every effort to set'le the question amicably and satisfactorily. It is impossible to reconcile these things. Either Mr. Polk is opposed to giving up a single foot of the Northwestern territory south of 54 40, or his public documents, and the letters of his Secretary of State, are intended to humbug the people of this country. He has committed himeelt on the whole of Oregon, and cannot consistently compremise in any way.— The claim of the United States to the whole terri- tory, may be, in the mind of the Preadent, indisputa- ble—his public documents say so; but, as Senator tor Haywood says, the President does not say in hie inaugural, or in his message to Congress, that he intended to claim the whole, or that he should not acknowledge or admit the claim of Great Britain to @ portion—but he says, through his Secretary of State, more than that. Mr. Buchanan, in hie last letter to Mr. Pakenham, refuses to admit the vlaim of the English government in any shape, and refuses arbitration, principally, because it might be con- strued into an acknowledgment that Great Britain had osme shadow of a claim upon the territory below 5440. It the messages of the President were not perfectly explicit upon this point, the cor- Tespondence between the Secretary of State and the British Minister has committed the Goverar ent, and Mr. Polk stands before the world an uncompro- mising advocate of the American claim to the whole of Oregon. We cannot see any loop hole by which he can escgpe. from that position. He cannot, after taking such a stand, submit to compromise. If the President conscientiously considers our claims | eoclear and indisputable as his public documents assert, and avoids so eagerly every movement cal- culated to weaken our claims, there is no alterna- tive. Concessions must be made on the part of our Government, or the peace of the two countries is not of long duration. The Executive is certain- ly placed in a very peculiar and delicate position, and it will, without doubt, be a great relief to him if the Senate assume the responsibility of compro- mising the matter. Erte Canau.—A person who has never travelled on this grand achievement of enterprise, can have no idea of the busy scene, in the business seagon, from Schenectady to Buffalo. A few years since, the country through which the canal runs, was a dense forest, trod only by the red men and a few | straggling white settlers. Whata difference it now presents! Towns and villages meet the traveller at almost every mile, and the large number of boats and packets eternally passing and repassing, adds cheerfulness to the scene. The unexampled strides of the West, since the opening of this canal, have been of great advantage to it and to this State. The greater part of the pro- duce raised in the region of country bordering on the great Lakes, is transported on this canal to tide water, thence to be transhipped to foreign countries, to feed the hungry, whose climate is not so propi- tious as our own. The increase of business on this canal bears out the predictions and proves the far-seeing sagacity of its projecigr, De Witt Clinton. To hi h people of the Empire State are indebted for the construc- tion and projection of this great avenue of wealth; and as long as the Erie Canal is in existence, his memory will not die. From the amount of business done on the canal last year, and the great preparations now being made, there is no doubt that a greater business will be done this year than ever before. In all the boat building yards on its banks, we see the workmen at work, “might and main,” constructing new boats nd repairing old ones. In Rochester alone, fifty new boats, valued at $75,000, are building; and this is only an index to the great preparations for this year’s business Pruwary Evection.—The democrats hold their primary election today. They elect delegates to the mayoralty convention. Ocean Sream NavicaTion.—There seems be a bit of a furor, at the present time, for ocean steam ship lines. There will probably be five lines in ope- ration in less than a year—the Cunard line, the Great Western line, a French line, the Screw line, from Liverpool, and an American line. These steamers will touch at Liverpool, Cowee, Havre, and probably Bremen, in Europe; and Boston and New York in the United States. In addition to these, there will be an increase in the English lines to South America and the West Indies, and the or- ganization of a French line to the latter section, with side lines to run elsewhe re. Evertsn Desrarcuas ror ENGLAND.—The Boston Times of yesterday, contains the following para- graph :— ‘It was rumored vory generally in State street, on Friday, that there was something very interesting and important in relation to the Hibetnia’s stay among us at the present time. We learn that a gentleman who had heard that the Hibs d d orders from Mr. Pakenham to be in re ve for England at an hour's notice, asked Capt. ‘of the Hibernia,) if it wasthe case. We understand the Captain replied that the report was not strictly correct - but that he had received o1 » before he left home, from his govern- aoe neg Sop oo eg ho bm notice to take his . + for cop omy this reason, none of on the steamship.

It is pretty certain, however, that these mail steam- ers are always under the control of the English Mi- nister at Washington. From St. Domingo.—By the arrival of the brig Almatia, Capt. Smith, last evening, from St. Do- mungo city, we learn that a Spanish fleet, consist ing of two steamers, a frigate, and two schoone rs- of-war, had arrived from Porto Rico, and remained at St. Domingo 36 hours, whence they sailed for Cape Haytien, to demand $80,000 for insults offered tothe Spanish flag, and for the i os ish subjects. if satisiaction was, ; on % we w ) . diately.

Nev: in thedischarge of such duty. Trial by jury has been universally proclaimed as the “pride and bul- wark of our liberty,” guaranteed to us by that im- | perishable document, the “ constitution.” We do not know why it is that a portion of our citizens should be so frequently called upon to de- Theatricals. Panx Tueatae.— The Brewer of Preston” was pro- perbaps, was any piece so completely successful, or Teceived with such complete satisfaction, No opera that has been acted for a length of time in this | city, can be compared to this beautiful piece. The de- light of the audience was not to be mistaken. The piece ie what is called a decided hit. How much the merit of an actor depends upon a good piece, was fully vote so much of their time in settling private dis- | exhibited last night.

It is by no means a matter of rare occurrence, 1n | our civil courts, to fiad jurymen deliberating for days and nights upon some trifling and unimportant issue of private malignity, engendered, perhaps, by | a vindictive and persecuting spirit of double-deal- | ing, and in no way involving the real interests of | the parties concerned. With such repeated instances coming within our daily intercourse, we are no longér surprised that those of our citizens who are eligible to jury duty, are so frequent with their complaints. It is a great tax upon cur business men, and one, certainly, which requires prompt and immediate reform. In referring to the laws of James, Duke of York, as far back as 1664, we find it was provided that ‘and sung in such a superior style as we venture to say | The former gentleman, as Toby Crosabelt, is inimitable.

The plot is rich and e1 and [agers pathos in this drama, with such irresistably comic situations as cannot fail to create a great sensa- tion among the theatrical dilettanti this city.

The scenery, costumes and decorations are truly beautiful.

No one seems to doubt but that jurymen should | be compensated in some way, for the time employed + by them in the discharge of their responsible obli- | gations; and the only question at issue appears to be in what manner, or by whose authority, they should be compensated. It were an easy matter to adopt some statutory | provision to this effect ; or it might be so provided that those parties bringing an action should become responsible for this, as well as other attendant costs ‘ of the court.

Bowery Teatax.—Mr. Jackson, with that discrimi- nating talent for which he is so pre-eminently distinguish- ed, has brought out another thrilling equestrian drama, which, if possible, excels “Ivanhoe” itself. Who has not | read that noble poem ef Scott’s, which stirs the soul as with the blast of a ‘rumpet? Who has not felt the martial spirit stir within him as he pored over the pages of “Mar- mion?’ Yet the perusal of it is nothing compared with witnessing th the stage. Ingeniously dramatized, supported by the most beautifully decorated and well conceived scenery, exquisite music, and fine acting, it is altogether a piece | salaries for the duties incumbent upon them; and, | of megnificence without parallel.

Swati States vs. Laror Srates.—We perceive from a circular addressed to members of Congress, | competent performance--it was too stiff and unnatural. | Mrs. Sergeant sings the song of “ Oh, young Lochinvar, | and signed by a number of respectable men, that the citizens of the northern part of the Territory of | lowa, are desirous of having the Territory divided into two portions. They propose to divide the ter- | ritory at the 42d degree of north latitude, extending | from the Mississippi on the east, to the Missouri | river on the west. The principal object that ia urg- ed in favor of this division, is, that the policy and | welfare of the West require an increase of repre- sentation and influence in the Senate of the United States. It is known by our readers, that a convention was recently held in Iowa, for the purpose of forming a constitution and being admitted into the family of States ; but on account of the diversity of interests tepresented, the delegates could not agree upon a constitution. Those in favor of the proposed divi- sion, say that— “The boundaries heretofore proposed by the lowa Convention, as well as those proposed by Congress, em- | braced by far too great an extent of territory for a sin- le State, and leaves the adjacent country in an unfa. | vorable situation for the formation of new States. If | the division should be made on the 42d parallel of lati- tude, lowa will contain at least twenty-vight thousand Square miles of land, possessing unsurpassed fertility, | an abundance of timber, of water power, and excellent commercial facilities ; and if the division should be at | 42 degrees 15 minutes, lowa would contain at least | 30,000 square miles. Such a division would havea de- | sirable eastern and western extension, with a popula- tion latitudinally assimilated and characteristic ; posses- sing more homogenity of feeli —harmony of temper- ament, of habits, pursuits, and education, than exist be- tween citizens of northern and southern localities. The local interests and pursuits of our citizens residing south of the 42d parallel of latitude, are diametrically di@erent from those of the north. South of that line they are predominantly an agricultura: people, while those north are chiefly intere: in mining operations. This clash- #0 much re- h and beau- lo @ great extent, formation of a new State, from t ne southera portion of Wisconsin. The lel of lati- between these two interests.

A line at 43 or degrees has been spoken of. There is an addi- tional objection to already advanced, to this line.

Mr. Scott is undoubtedly a tragedian of the highest order of talent. This superb drama will be repeated to-night, and there can be no doubt that the house will continue to be as crowded as it was last evening. Bowsny Aururrucatae.—Among the many places of amusement at present in New York, we should ga y that the Bowery Ampbitheatre is decidly the most attractive.

On the contrary, if the proposed | nT division were effected, all difficulty of forming States out of the parts would be at an end, and a constitution would be immediately formed by eacn, and a couple more of bright stars would twinkle in our firmament. Tus New Maw Arraxcement.—The much talked of new mail arrangement for the departure of the great Southern mail, goes into operation to- morrow. The mail will cloSe at 3o0’clock in the af | ternoon, and go through to New Orleans one day | y quicker than heretofore. By this arrangement pas- sengers for the great West can reach Cincinnati, &c., twenty-four hours ahead of the present time.
