The steamer Hibernia arrived at Boston on | Monday last, after a quick and rapid passage from England. By her we have accounts down to the 19th ult., a full synopsis of which will be found in this day’s paper. The intelligence brought by this. arrival is of more than usual importance,’ considering the delicate crisis existing in our for-}! cign relations, between the United States and England. "No great change has taken place in » markets since our last accounts. The position and prices ef corn, cotton and meney, will be} found under their respective heads, One of the most important events in connection with English affairs, and having some little bear- ig, also, on ours, which hus taken place since the last arrival, is the passage of the new'eorn bill, by the unprecedented majority of 98, in the House of Commons. This is the first step in the most important, commercial and financial revolution, that is destined to spread througiout the civilized | nations of the earth. Some doubts are expressed said of the extraordinary fertility of | in the British journals, whether the bill’ may not be arrested in the House of Lords; but we do not apprehend any insurmountable obstacle of that! kind. If the present House of Lords prevented ‘h a bill from being made a law, a bill so popu- lar in the country, it would only lay the foundati rmy; for | fora popular outburst, that may end in the aboli« | tion of that body altogether. There will be ob. rs , stacles, but nothing to prevent the ultimate su fora number of hours in lime water, is crushed, ecss of the bill. ‘The effect ef this great change in the eommercial policy of England will soon begin | fully suggest to the proper dey ent of supplies to | SUC! letin, May 25. | to develope itself, and operate on other countries.

The next important intelligence brought by th steamer, is that in connection with the Oregot question and the relations of the United State: with England. Full accounts of the ultimate sage of the “notice” have been received in En; land. The tone of Parliament and of the pres: is extremely favorable, peaceful and conciliatory. Yet it cannot be disguised, that, while there is earnest profession made by the government, will appear in the incidental allusion to this mat: ter, by the minister, in the House of Commens, on the last night of the debate on the Corn Bill, yet, this spirit of conciliation is combined with s determination to insist on certain rights and cer. tain privileges which that government claims in the Oregon matter, and the enforcing thos¢ claims, by the evidence of military and naval pi parations of no small magnitude, This seem: highly probable, from indications both in Parli ment and through the press. We have no doub that final instructions, as to the ultimatum i have been brought out, by the recent steamer, Mr. Pakenham ; and that he will re-open the ne gotiations with Mr. Polk, at Washington, such may either result, within the year, in péace! settlement, or end in positive war. The Briti claims, however, are now more moderate thi formerly. They seem to assent to the propo: tion that the 49th parallel will be the basis of th new and final negotiation.
