She was, however, to remain at Halifax about twenty hours. * The intelligence, to be received by this steamer, is pected that in five or six hours, or thereabouts, after the Unicorn reaches Boston, her news will be in °4lly, commercially and politically, to an extent this city. It isa matter of public interest to ascer- tain the actual difference in the speed of the light- ning hne and that to be made by the expected ex- Long Island railroads. The shortest time has not yet been obtained over the latter route. We all know the speed of the lightning route. The news will be published in an Extra Herald »€tween those countries, and the maintenance of immediately after it is rec-ived; price two cents per copy. The Oregon Question—-Its Effect on the Destiny of the World. The great and absorbing question of peace or war, which has been depending on the settlement of the Oregon question, for several months past, haa serious'y affected the commercial interests of the United States, and in a certain, though smaller degree, those of the whole civilized world. After the tariff and sub-treasury questions had been rid- den to death by the two great political parties into which the country is divided, the leaders of the de- mocratic party alighted upon the Oregon question, and triumphantly shouldered it and brought it into the pool of politics, as the and most feasible means of creating popular excitement and accom- plishing the ends they had in view, viz: the con- trol of the general government. The claims of both England and the United States to the portion of the territory in dispute be- tween them, could have remained in the state they have been since the time the convention between these two parties was made, for ten or twenty years more, as well as‘not, by which time the title of the United States could easily be asserted and vindica- ted by the emigrants from the Atlantic side. But if this question had not been taken up by the demo- cratic party, the leaders thereof could not well have raised avother that would have answered their pur- poses as well. At the time the Oregon question was disturbed rom the slumber in which it had so long reposed, unnoticed and comparatively unthought of, the de- mocratic party was in rather a precarious situation The triumphant and unprecedentedly great majority | with which General Harrison, the whig candidate | jor the Presidency, was elected to that office in the | year 1840, severed the old ties of the democratic party, and paralyzed the energies of the leaders. | ‘The death of that venerable man, and the conse- quent accersion to the Presidency of John Tyler, the Vice President, entailed upon the country an administration the most vacillating and .deceitful that probably ever ruled the country, since the revo- yution. While it was neither whig nor democratic 1n its principles, the influence it was permitted to “exert was marked by the follies, frailties andgex- cesses of both. Before the term ot John Tyler had expired, the old party landmarks and boundaries were again established, and the whig and democra- tie parties had resumed their organization. The two parties being then very strong, and Henry Clay being the avowed candidate of the whig party for the Presidency, and his popularity being great, the democratic leaders conceived the idea of waking up the Oregon as well as the Texas question, and bringing it into the field as the test question before the country—one was settled, the other is now in | fall blast. It was marshalled forth and placed be- fore the couatry, and has taken precedence of the tiriff question, the sub-treasury, and all other ques- tions. The Presidemtial candidate of the democra- With new boilers, a straight coming more or lees identified with each other, | Never dreampt of, we see, onthe other hand, the two countries allowing a question of minor impor- | tance—a question that if allowed to rest,would settle | question hourly threaten the peace happily existing | which is probably essential to the national existence of one, and the continued prosperity of the other. We certainly cannot think that a war which | would be thus so ruinous to both, will be rashly en- | tered into by those two great countries, who are foremost in commerce and all the arts that adorn | | civilization, no ‘matter what shape the Oregon | question may assume} under the workings of politi- | cians and panic makers; but rather that the states- | men and patriots of both countries, will unite, heart and hand, in drawing tighter the bonds between them, so that the fullest advantages that will arise from the new commercial revolution that 1s now | dawning upon the world may be enjoyed by each, | the blessing of peace preserved, old animosities ob- | literated, and an emulation created that will ‘result in the progress, improvement, refinement and civi. | lization of the species. Tue Cuarter Evection.—The doubts which fill- ed the minds ef the great democratic party but a | few dayssince, in regard to their candidate for | Mayor, are now solved, and Mr. Andrew H. | Mickle, “a respectable tobacco merchant,” has been | duly nominated for that oftice. | Avvery curious state of things, however, still ex- | iste in the party, which threatens to cause some. | thing of a break in its ranks, unless the wounds are | healed. The nomination of Mr. Mickle was made joa Tuesday evening last. The convention then ad- | journed until Thursday evening, for the purpose of | receiving the acceptance of their candidate. Thurs- day night came, but a quorum of the convention | which had nominated him could not be brought to- | gether, to receive the formal acceptance of Andrew | H. Mickle, as their candidate for Mayor—so that | Mr. Mickle has not yet accepted the nomination. The secret of the inability on the part of the con- vention to get together a quorum, lies, undoubtedly inthe fact, that many members of the convention, being adopted citizens, recollect the fact of Mi Mickle having some time since declared himself a native American, to the inhabitants of his ward. The Sixth ward committee, which would not be | received by the General Committee at Tammany Hall, and which controls a majority of the votes in that ward, have put in nomination J. Sherman Brownell as Mayor,'and Charles H. Vultee for Alder- | man of the ward. Unless this wound in the great | democratic party is healed previous to the election, it may considerably lessen the chance of that party’s success. Another division has taken place in the | 4th ward, where George H. Purser is nominated as candidate for Alderman, in opposition to Joseph A. Divver, the regular Tammany nominee. | Ia the meantime, the whig party have selected a | candidate for Mayor, supposed to be well known | for firmness, honesty, and independence. His | chance of success would be good, were it not that Mr. W. B. Cozzens has resisted all the@florts made to cause his resignation, and declares most unequi- vocally that he willrun, if he receives no vote but | his own. & In thie aspect of things, we expect some fun on the | time, place the United States the-first among the nations of the world, and the greatest in commerce, and guaranty to our people a greater proportion of | the report of Mr. Tilden, of the select committee, on | the advantages and blessings that will result from | thie new commercial revolution.

The report then goes on to discuss the | expediency and legality of the three remedies pro” | posed, tc-wit: “1st. Taxation of thelandlord’s inte’ rest; 2d, abolition of distress for rent; 3d, a law lord. The committee conclude their report by offering | the bills to effect these objects which have aiready sent of Ira Harris, a member of the committee. The following is a list of the acts recommended | by the committee :— lst. An act to amend the statute of devises, and to | extinguish certain tenures. This act provides that no leases of real estate reserv: » shall henceforth be made for a longer period than ten years. That the rents, &c.oflonger leases, now existing, shall pass by descent to the heirs of the original grantor; but that the tenant, by bill in Chancery, may convert the into to @ fair estimate of the value, ve ed to pay off the mortgage, . An act to equalize taxation. By thisacta tax is | to be laid on rents received by landlords. 3d. Anact to abolish distress for rent. | 4th. An act concerning costs in courts of law. This | Provides, that if a landlord, on sueing his tenant, does not | recover damages to the amount of one hundred dollars | or upwards, he shall not recover costs. It appears highly probable that these bills, if pase ed, would soon assuage all the difficulties existing | on this question. The committee have bestowed great labor and research in their investigation of the whole matter, and in the legal enquiry upon all the points before them. Very few questions are more important than this, in its bearing and effect on the politics of this State. Compiexion oF THE Strate Convention.—The complexion of the convention to revise the consti- tution, will be the most varied of any assemblage that ever was convoked in the country. Every party, fragment, faction, and clique, into which all | the political parties of the day are divided, are de- voting their energies for the purpose of being repre- sentzd. The old whig and democratic parties, the natives, national reformers, abolitionists, anti-capi- tal punishment men, aati-renters, old hunkers, and barn-burners, are all in the field, eager to secure a representation. If each of the cliques and factions succeed, what a motley and diversified group will be theref! Blue spirits and white, red spirits and grey, all jostling together in the most admirable confusion, and each desirous of having a hand in tinkering the constitution, and healing the wounds of the State! Tue Travaiiine Sgason—CueaP Fares.—The favorite steamers Khode Island and Massachusetts, 80 long and favorably known to the community, by @ recent arrangement with the Postmaster General, carry the great Eastern mails, direct, between this city and Providence.

The uncertainty of the continuance of peace be- | tween the two countries, has been of incalculable injury tothe commercial interests of both the United | States and of Eagland, particularly the former coun- | try. Commercial sp:culitions and adventures, | which require the deepest thought and calculation, | could not, under such circumstances, be entered into: | No merchant or man of business, would willingly | tisk his capital in merchandize or ships, which | might be captured by an enemy before tie voyage | was half finished. The maintenance of peace was | uncertain, from the end of one month to the end o | another. The consequence has been, that in both | England and the United States, a vast amount of capital and wealth, which, under auspicious circum- stances, would be employed in commerce, has been withheld from the channels of trade until a more fa- vorable time. In this respect, the real interests and prosperity of the two countries has suffered a shock from which they will not recover in a considerable time. Ia the present conditina of the world, we consi- derfit highly unfortunate {that the Oregon question Temains unsettled, or that it has not been settled long since. The increased facilities of communi- @ation between the two countries, arising from the success attending steam navigation, paved the way for a commercial revolution, the dawn of which ap- peared some years since. The opening of the Chi- nese Empire, with a population of three hundred millions of human beings, that through the preju- dice of their rulers, for a succession of ages, had been debarred from all intercourse with their breth- yen in other parts of the world, was another step towards that great revolution. The revolution in the corn law system in England, which has recently taken place, and which is the basis of a free trade system of commerce with the whole world, was the next step in importance towards the great result. | Alderman—R.

It isa remarkable fact in the progress of steam and electricity, that since the organization of the ocean steamship lines, the average length of the Passages of our canvass-back packet ships has be_ come considerably lessened, and we can now calcu. late almost to a day or two, upon the arrival of one of them, as we did in the case of the Yorkshire. It is also a fact, equally remarkable, that since the in- vention of the lightning lines, the speed of the steam vessels has increased; and we now have instances part of the city, is the Aldermanic candidate in the First Ward. Work Pur THE Common Councn..—Both boards of the city fathers will meet in Council to- night, for the discussion of municipal matters, and ia the tea room for the discussion of oysters and segars. While debating upon municipal matters, we would suggest that the memorial of the citizens of the Eighth ward, praying for an extension of the | basin at the foot of Spring street, well deserves the | attention of the Aldermen, on account of the bene- | fit that would accrue to its citizens were the remedy | they asked for applied, and the pier and basin ex- tended so that market vessels could discharge their | loads at the Clinton Market. Other matters will come up for consideration, | many of which will tend to have an effect upon the number of votes to be polled in the city on the 14th instant. The recent passage of the sfib-treasury bill in the House of Representatives of this country, and the adoption of a free trade tariff, which will be paesed at no distant day, will make the great commerciaj revolution complete, draw together the bonds of coramon kindred in the great family of mankind, and make the inhabitants of the whole world one united band of brothers, depending on and con- ected with each other by the strongest ties. This great commercigl revolution, or millenium,’ if we may so term it, has been in progress for a number of years past; and ere many years are past, its happy influences will extend to every land on which the sun shines. England, the great est com- mereial country in the world, taken the lead, and ir one bound, asit were, has adopted free trade principles in her intercourse with the rest of the | world. The United States will soon follow, and thea the smaller countries will be under the neces- eeesity of tollowing in their steps. The advantages that will inevitably accrue trom this revolution in commerce, will be shared in by | the whole; but to the United States, they will be in | Ockan SreaManirs.—American Livgs.—It seems | tobe more certain, since the publication of the report of Mr. Hilliard, in favor of the mail steam- | ers, that there will soon be an “American Line of | Sea Mail Steamers ;” and the probability is, that in | a few years, all the mails frem this country will | be conveyed in our own steam packets. We find in the Union of the 8d inst., the fol- lowing paragraph relative to this subject :— A letter from the North, states thet the ‘‘steam route, which Col. Johnson has selected, is now decidedly 7 ular in New York and Boston. The Postmaster Gene- ral’s letter to thm apa: the subject, is satisfactory as relat to the reasons waich inf ting. reflects much credit upon his Se prey wisdom determining upon the’ line bs he has selected. have seen Mr. Mille and his associates in New York Their first vessei will be ready in Janvery, end ia to be called the “United States.” The second will be sfloat three Sag afterwards, and will be called the ha “ ” t the least doubt but these | steamere wi femon in less time then the Cu- parders go to Live: a ee It is to be h that all this will prove true, and be carried out.

We cannot anticipate a speedy settlement of the difficulties existing in foreign relations. We do not look for a sati compromise of the points at issue regarding the O: gon territory. It by no means follows that the tion of the Senate will alley the excitement which ba been created, or that the matter will be any nearer tlement than it is at this moment. It is jestion ther the compromise resolutions, which the Sennte wil without doubt pi will not tend to keep this q open for months, and perhaps yeers. The difarence it opinion in relation to this matter, existing between different branches of the government, will prevent speedy a settlement as the interests of the world re: quire, and perhaps keep it open, and ina continual stat of agitation, until it becomes a very important prominent element inour local elections. It ma: be doing justice to all the leaders in this affur, in houses of Congress, to attribute the delay to a di tion to carry it forward into eur polities! compalgns ; bul it certainly appears that many of the valiant leaders e3 hibit such intentions. So long as this object is in view- so long as legislation is carried on with such moti: there can be no amicable arrangement of the q! no immediate settlement of the difficulties. The debate upon this matter, in the Senate, assures that no compromise—if compromise is made at all—will be submitted to on the part of our government, short tion of the Columbia river. This will be tl most liberal compromise and the most satisfactory tlement our government can accept or propose. Now, it view of this fact, what probability is there of such an rangement being acceded to on the part of Great Brit At present, none; and if we come to the conclusion ths the refusal on the part of the British minister, of the of made by Mr. Polk soon after his accession to office, sincere, and not for the purpose of forcing from use again, would meet with a similar fate. Wecamdraw inference from the remarks of Sir Robert Peel, in tion to the course pursued by Mr. Pakenham, in not mitting that .fferto his government. They may something, or nothing—the parties inte rest 1 each other perfectly well. We consider it movement o! no great consequence in any way, our legislators st Washington intend being governed the wishes of the British Ministry and the British Par ment. It may be construed, by the compromise into an indirect admission that if the offer had not b so promptly and peremptorily refused, it might hi been more favorably entertained by the government, have been made the basis of a compromise satisfactory both countries. Ite refusal deprived the British try of any advantage it might have been to them in. ture negotiations, and served to commit the British g ernment still deeper, in their pretensions to t south of the 49th degree of latitude. ‘ Three times has the government of Great Britsin fused as many offers made by the United States, to cably settle this question, within the past twenty three times arbitration has been proposed by the government, and three times refused; the last was asdecided and as positive as that of the 49th gree by Mr. Pakenham; and if we may judge from circumstances connected with each, neithercanbe vived; neither can be accepted, and the question, if at cably settled, must be settled in some other way arbitration, andupon some other basis then the ninth degree of latitude. We wish tobe understood merely drawing conclusions from certain premises—: ‘as results which cannot be avoided, for have faith in an amica arrangement of this question, spite of the numerous difficulties with which it is present surrounded. Great Britain once refased to sgttle the boundaries | the North Western territory upon a basie which | has since signified a willingness to accept, ifagsin | ed. That government hes endeavored to prove that tl line she once refused, is in fact the only line she arrange the boundary upon; that by every treaty, k in existence, her rights to that parallel were disti defined Although the line she now contends for, once been refused, no other of o liberal nature been for a moment entertained, and we have no Y to base a belief that a less liberal offer will now be cepted. The navigation of the Columbis river is, has been, a sine gud nen with the government of G Britain, and thet claim has never been We have no reason to suppose that it will be now. compromise, therefore, talked of in the Senate, does come down to the live fised upon by England, and the opinion of many thet any contemplated on our part, will only tend to strengthen the taken by Great ‘Britain, in claiming the navigation the Columbia river end all the territory nerth of ti outlet. Should such be the effect of the delay ex; enced in bringing this question into some shape in Senate, wi I be as farfrom an amicable sett as ever; end the fifty four forty party will have the c dit, at least, of consistency and a regard for the and interest of the country, greater than that of the promisg party. Notwithstanding these things, we cannot resist impression that a war between the United States Great Britain, is entirely out of the question.
