The London money market was at first slightly affected by the news. There had been an improvement in the cotton market. The grain markets were somewhat active. The war on the corn laws was going on in Par- liament. The produce market exhibits little variation from that of last week. The price of sugar is steadily increasing, and the accounts of the defi- ciency of the last West India crop has a tendency to advance prices. The proceedings in Parliament, which point to a speedy release of the grain and flour in bond, at the low rate of duty, have given more animation te those articles, which are more inquired for, and necessarily of greater value. The share market in all the large towns isin a buoyant state. The bulk of the transactions have been in the old and legitimate lines, to buy in which a large ready-money capital is necessary. ‘Still there has been something doing in scrip, con- tingent upon the winding up of the various schemes which have been unable to struggle through their difficulties.

Yesterday, the in’ intelligence came to hand that the Senate,atter nine weeks’ discussion, had come to a division on te Oregon notice. The subject is too comprehensive in its coats! too Pregnant in its consequences, as re; e e btthe belie not 10 excite ae Tuon med men: tion ; and, according! e dail apers have my leaders” on it, in whith the present od future bearings of this new move are clearly and gra- ph ically pointed out. Our American readers will struck with the cool and dignified tone which pervades these articles. As pieces of composition, they will command attention—as expositions of peace,respect. The notice is not viewed in a belli- gerent spirit ; and it willnot be the fault of the people on this side of the water, if it should sub- sequently partake of that jaundiced ingredient. One of the T of a free press is, that every eae ees argued and put in eho shapes, that the pop mind is im: eptibly I te appreciate its merits, and acquainted with all its difficulties. Public opinion is thus ripe when the time for action has arrived; and no statesman can calculate upon that support, which is as necessary to his official existence as the air is to his corporeal vitality, without basing his mea- sures on a just and comprehensive policy. Viewed obi he-d light, a: Sia og es inaugui ress, to the Oregon, wi The manner in which he took up the questi directed the attention not only of the two govern- ments most immediately interested, but of the whole world to its importance ; and some pro- gress has been already made, and is making, towards a pasific solution.4 " Six months ago fears of a rupture with the United States were general. Now they have dis- appeared. Fot the least commotion was visible yesterday, when it became known that the Sen- ate had passed the resolution for giving the notice, and, as we have intimated in another column, it had no visible effect on the cotton or any other market. This is most Bratifying. We are now in the second act of the fon drama, under Mr. Polk’s management—may the concluding one be as satisfactory and pacific ! 7 We have inserted below the leading article in the Times of yesterday on the subject, to which those who tage an interest in the theme will direct their attention. (From the London Times, May 8.) The resolutions authorizing the President of the United States to give notice tor the termination of the Oregon Convention of 1827, have now, as we announced yesterday, received the sanction of the Senate by a majority of 40 to 14 votes. Nine weeks of continuous debate may be supposed to have exhausted the most sturdy powers of Parlia- monte endurance ; and, from the Senators of M usetts to the newly arrived representative of the State of Texas, nota member of the sedate assembly seems to have let this important topic pass insilence. The doubts and difficulties which are commonly confined to a Cabinet on questions of this nature have here extended to a spe- Piet OF, nepal: Easenanay; Sua aggravated by pal licity and party spirit. But result has been the same as if the resolutions had been introduced by Mr. Polk; and public opinion throughout the Union has been informed and invigorated by the debate In spite of the length of time during which we have contemplated the approach of this notice ; the clear certainty of the result of the discussion the unanimity which we may be said to have ar- rived at in both countries as to the expedienc and necessity of putting an end to the doubtful condition of the question—and the impatience with which we desired that this preliminary step should be taken, in order that the definitive ne; tiation Cs pone, resumed, it cannot doubted that mn act of the American Government, which is about to assign a term to one of the most important territorial conventions existing between Great Britain and the United States, must be considerable, and may become a momentous event. In America the debates on this subject have almost exclusively mo- nopolized the time of the Legislature and the attention of the public .since the commence- ment of the session of Congress. In this country Parliament and the nation have been content to wait the course of events, and to leave untouc! by premature controversy one of the most im- portant functions of the Executive Government, and one of the highest prerogatives ot the Crown. But, in spite of the excessive discussion to which the Oregon territory has given rise on the other side of the Atlantic, and the extreme reserve which has hitherto been maintained on this, there is at bottom the same deep and earnest hope | in | rent. both countries that this question will be amicably | mitted into the poor- settled, and we trust there is an equal resolution am the | that whilst a compromise is necessary, and indeed, rious one ; but nay | ily for the honor of this coun- try, it isaccompaniea by uoue of those feelings of TURDAY MORNING, MAY 30, 1846. of Burgos, who has. forwarded it to Bayonne by extraordinary express.

In the final division which took place, 22 | only two whigs voted with the extreme party against the form ia which it was proposed that the notice should be given. So that, although the division had nothing of a party character, adhesion of the whigs secured that moderation of language for which itis remarkable. Itseems that, according to the forms of Congress, the House of Representatives must concur in the resolution as amended by the Senate, and for this purpose it will undergo some further debate in the lower house. Asthe notice stands in Mr. Crittenden’s motion, there is not an expression in the preamble ich we do not cordially concur ; and it eS and ir. Polk in his In fact, when the Sen- eaks of the “ evil conse- iance of an American and British population, and of the confusion and conflict of national jurisdiction” in Oregon, they substantially recognize that principle of division which Mr. Polk has hitherto denied, and they impose upon him the prosecution of @ negotia- = which he has endeavored to render impos- sible. Thus far, then, and in more respects than one, the American notice materially improves the pros- pect of a speedy settlement. It recognizes, in general terms, the basis upon which alone such a settlement can be attempted, and, by putting an end to the period of joint SOCAN Ts it prepares us to maintain to the fullest extent the rights we derive from present occupation. Whatever be the fate of the provisional treaties, we presume that no one will contest that the rights and inter- ests which have grown up by their protection and authority are sacred, both under the letter of those treaties, and under the original nights to which we now revert in all their force. Our position as claimants upon an equal footing with the United States for the partition of the whole territoi in dispute is rather strengthened than weaken by the abrogation of the treaty, and we cannot doubt that the ministers of the crown will be ready, upon the receipt of the notice, firmly and explicitly to declare to the Cabinet of Washington what ihose rights are which they have long been “ re- solved and pervered to maintain.” Every inci- dent which occurred in the course of those dis- cussions has more and more fully convinced us ur own statement of our qaims suggests a divi- sion, no surrender of those Claims can be attempt- ed. Weare not conscious of having advanced any argument, or made any assertion, which is not greatly within the strictest limits to which | British rights might have been carried; and below the line which has been traced for the policy of this country lies nothing but insecurity and disgrace. To that position we therefore adhere; we have no doubt that the Ministers of the Crown will adhere to it no less firmly, confident that in the mainten- ance of just rights, as well as in securing peace, mf are su ported by the unanimous resolution of the people of England. [From the Liverpool Mail, May 9.) The crisis has arrived! The Senate of the United States have, by a meagority of forty to four- teen, resolved that the President be authorised to intimate to the British government that the treaty 1827, relative tothe Oregon territory, shall be dis- solved and re: null and void ‘at the expira- tion of twelve months from the present time. Be- fore this resolution was adopted,the President was requ to state whether he had received any peeian from this government of a late date, and he stated in reply that all correspondence h: without any attempt to renew it, on the 4th of February last. It will be recollected that her Majesty’s minis- ters, and both Houses of Parliament, have been singularly silent, during the whole of the present session, in refereece to these transatlantic pro- ceedings. Even when the negociations had termi- nated somewhat abruptly, the same extraordinary reserve was maintained. We shall now see, per- haps, what measures are in contemplation to meet the difficulties created by American legislation.— The President has in terms asserted the rightful claim of the United States to the whole Oregon territory; and the Senate and House of Representatives have sanctioned this elaim their votes. The next step, on the part of these pe ergy will be to take possession—and then, what will England do ? ¥ We are in confident expectation that before many days this important subject will occupy and engross the attention of Parliament. Ocean Steam et gree (From the London Herald, May 7.) We are enabled to ‘© an announce. ment rding the conveyance of mails by steam tween this country and America, which will be hailed with gratification by the whole community. The Government have entered into a further contract with the British and North American Royal Mail Company, the effect of which is to secure a weekly communica- tion by steam between Liverpool and the United States of America. A steamer of great power and size will be despatched direct from Liverpool to New York every alternate Saturday during eight months of the year. These trips are to be perform- ed as additional voyages, irrespective of the fortnightly voyages to Halifax, ani 5 as this latter service will continue just as at present, with the alteration of sailing from Liverpool as well as from Boston always on Saturdays instead of a fixed day of the month as at present. The steamers to New York will also take their depart- ures always on Saturday. feo arrangement there will be a steamer from Liverpool to Ameri- ca every Saturday, and from the American side also every Saturday, the only difference being that Boston and New York will alternately be the ports of departure. At proves we not able to state the precise time when these ‘kly sailings will commence, but no doubt we may look for the al- teration to come into play as soon as the required number of ships can got ready to ke such a vast service.

As re- ds either question, the Prussian government is lecidedly in favor of a statu quo, not to admit of Bi’ change in the tariff of the Zollverein. he King of Bavaria has prohibited his subjects from attending the university of Leipsig until further orders.

On the 27th ult., the second chamber heard the Be of Baron de Gumppenberg, on the motion for giving to Jews the same civil and political rights as Christians. The report is favor- able to the motion. The news from Austrian Galicia states that the province is quiet. There were rumors of an at- tempt at a rising near Glodno, but the report seems to have been ill-founded. The town of Cracow is to pay (according to the Frankfort Post-Amt-Gazette) the annual sum of two millions florins, for the maintenance of the government, which, Generis, its revenue, does not exceed one million and a half, is rather a diffi- cult task. They have likewise to provide for the troops. The future is anything but promising, as there are no prospects for the harvest. It has been asserted that at the late conferences at Berlin between the delegates of Russia, Austria and Prussia, on the affairs of Poland, especially relative to the republic of Crecow, that there was question of effacing from the number of independ- ent states the four free towns of the German con- federation. Hamburgh and Lubeck were to fall to Prussia. Bremen to Hanover.

The dilletanti were themselves surprised. Among the highest names his stood the highest, in the mention of the concerts at which he performed. He then went to London and performed at Her Majesty’s theatre. His re- ception was enthusiastic—every night dunng his stay in London he was engaged at soirées, and fre- bare! three times a night. He then travelled on the continent, performing at the principal cities, in every place creating a . On his return to Genoa he applied himself assiduously to study During eight years he studied harmony and coun- terpoint under the famous Serra. He continued his career of success and uninterrupted study, and travelled over the chief part of Europe a second time. His wonderful improvement was ob- served by all judges. Paganini on his death-bed would be satisfied with nothing else but hearing Sivori play, who accordingly, in an adjoining apartment, soothed the dying moments of the de- parting master, with the exquisite strains of his instrument.

Markets. Lonpon Morey Maaxet, May 8.—Consols and the Stock market generally continued very buoyant, from our publication per Britannia up to yesterday, when the arrival of the decision of the Senate of the United States, on the cranes question, which reached London via Ha- vre,caused the market to become fiat, and, in the course of the day, prices slightly receded; there are always ti- mid people, ‘who take the alarm on every slight occa- sion, others who attend upon the market solely to increase and profit by the movement—but amongst the best informed people the eg bed looked upon as a politi- cal movement in which the President has an eye to the tures would be plefdlings in publie. The General Gazette of Prussia publishes a des- peak ofthe American minister at Berlin, at ‘ashi » in which that dij ist, on the oc- casion of the new line of steamers, which isto be established between New York and Bremen, ex- presses his opinion upon the grand natural and ar- tificial routes between the old and new world. The distinguished publicist attaches special im- portance to cutting through the isthmus of Suez and Panama; and considers the period to have nearly arrived when these gigantic enterprises will be realized. These two canals will revolu- tionize the commerce of the world, and naturally lead to ac’ in the existing lines of steam na- vigation.

From Huddersfield, the accounts recei¥ed inform us that the market held there on Tuesday last, (May 6.) was very dull, which is attgibuted to the near approach of the London and Liverpool wool sales. What few buyers we have had complain of the greet scarcity of goods adapted for the season. More Reine accounts have been received from Manchester Although the market there has not exhibited either an increase of ac- tual business, or a higher range of prices, there has been a decidedly improved feeling amonget all classes, both of buyers and producers.

Hayar, May 6.—Cottous—After the receipt of the ac- counts of the oth ult., from the United States, which reached us at the close of our preceding circular, when it was ascertained that no new shipments were imme- diately coming forward, there was a good attendance of dealers from the trade, a revival sprung up in the de- mand, and our market, which had before exhibited a do} ressed character, assumed a certain degree of activity. Fhe transactions roughout the week have therefore been to a fair extent, and on some days were to a la amount spirit occasionally displayed in the bu; . added to firm attitude of holders, have pred: vorable effect on prices, whieh although they have not quite regained the ground they previously lost, have nevertheless advanced fully {1 on our former quo- tations.

Loxpox Corn Excnanor, May 8—The weather con- tinues favorable for the growing crops, and exercises a depressing influence on the wheat trade. In English but little business occurred, at the reduction of 2s. per qr. There is rather more inquiry for low qualities of bonded and floating cargoes, chiefly for shipment to Holland and Belgium. “Thelate largo tupply of English oats, and a farther arrival of six or seven vessels from Ireland,prove more than enough for the present limited demand, and the buyers act so completely on the reserve that few sales could be made, although factors were willing to make a concession in price to promote business. A great dullness and almost absence of demand provailed in other grain.
