NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Wednesday, August 5, 1846. The Oregon Treaty—Its Ratification, of inf ters of the fact that the treaty entored into between England and the United States, for the settlement of the Oregon dispute, had b atified by the English Ministry, and is now in full force and virtue. Although it was considered certain of being ratified, by most peo- ple, there was some little doubt entertained by l, since Lord Palmerstun had got into of e; inasmuch as it was thought that that gentle- man, for his love of salt of having an opportunity to disturb the friendly relations between this country and Great Britain. These doubts are, of course, now dispelled, and the -rday we had the pleasure orming our rea n » would be desirous prospect is good for the maintenance of peace for an unlimited period. The treaty was ratified on the 17th ult., and Mr McLane immediately hurried with it by express to General Armstrong, in Liverpool, who received itin time to sail in the Hibernia, The ratified copy is now in possession of the government at Washington. According to the tone of the public prints, and from conversations that we have had with persons lately arrived in the steamer, we learn that the joy of the English people, and particularly the Letters of Mr. Bennett from Europe. Lonpon, July 17, 1846. Since the sailing of the last steamer, nothing | | Very important has taken place, either in this me- | tropolis, or on the continent. manufacturing portion, was unbounded. The news spread like wild-fire throughout the coun- try, and addresses of congratulation were drawn up and sent to the government. In many of the manufacturing distr bonfires a other de- | monstratiens of joy were made, the equal of which has not been seen since the battle of Waterloo and the overthrow of Napoleon. Our readers are aware that considerable doubt existed, both in England and in this country, in regard to the true meaning of that section of the treaty providing for the navigation of the Colum- bia river. In common with other journals, we expressed our opinion, which was nearer the truth than any other that was given. We had the pleasure, however, of setting the matter at rest forever, by giving the true construction of that section in our Washington correspondence yester- day. Our correspondent derived his information from a source that plares its accuracy beyond question. It appears that the charter of the Hud- son’s Bay Company is perpetual, but it covers no grants of land or water, but contains a permit to hunt, trap, &c., which permit expires in 1858. ‘The permit may, of course, be renewed, but the renewal will amount to nothing. ever, may be entertained on this point, be- oause, long befere even the present charter ex- pires, the Hudson’s Bay Company will be dis- solved. As itis, the profits of the concern are | completely exploded; and the more politic views, No fears, how- | small, and do little more than cover the expenses, | on account of the decline of the animals that fur- nish them with furs, and the gradual occupation of the country by emigrants. Now that the diffi- culty between the two countries is settled, we may expect a stream of emigration to flow there, composed of hardy emigrants and their fami- lies, who will locate in the territory, and pursue the arts of civilized life. The inhabitants of the forrest will, of course, fly before them to regions remote from the emigrant. It may reasonably be supposed, therefore, that in about seven years the | Hudson Bay Company will be dissolved. the London Times already hints this. The amiable Father Ritchie has over and over denied, in the Union, that the right to navigate the Columbia was vested by the treaty in the Hudson Bay Company in perpetuity. said is, as we have frequently stated, that the arti- cles in that paper must be interpreted by the rule of contraries; and that the organ is in fact no or- gan at all, and never possessed the confidence of the administration. By its blindness on so many important occasions, those who naturally looked to the Union as an exponent of the views of the government, were led from one blunder into a greater one, and never arrived near the truth. The country has been put astray by the assertions that it has from time to time put forth, so much that the public is settled in the conviction that the Union is not the organ of the administration, and does not possess its confidence. Indeed The whig party throughout the country and in | Congress, has repeatedly charged Mr. Polk and Mr. Secretary Buchanan with inconsistency in abandoning the line of 54 40, and submitting to the Senate a treaty on the basis of 49. We have reason to believe that this charge is unfounded. We believe that Mr. Polk and Mr. Buchanan are still emphatically 5440 men up to the hilt, and never would have consented to a treaty that gave All that can be | | | probably feed three, or even six millions of peo- | neighborhood where I am writing, there is one of England one tittle south of that line. Mr. Buchanan | has avowed this over and over, but the predica- ment in which he was placed by the Senate, left | the administration no alternative but to act as they did. That body abandoned the cabinet on thatline, and by passing the notice dissolving the joint occupancy in the shape it did, virtually ac- knowledged that it would ratify a treaty that would be based on less. Hence offer of England; and the administration, aban- doned as it was, had nocourse left but to throw the responsibility on the Senate. The course of the President and the Secretary of State in this matter will yet be fully justified by every American. The whole of Oregon is yet to be ours. ‘Tue New York Pitors.—ln our columns to day we publish a communication, which gives an mnanswerable reply to those who, instigated by the movements of cliques, have lately attacked the efforts being made to restore the pilots of our city to their former well deserved privileges. \s strange that these underwriters, with their agents, who ery the loudest against our pilets, and raise the common bug-bear of anti-monopo- ly as their excuse, are themselves induced to this very course, by the knowledge that in the New York pilots they find a set of men who cannot be made the tools for political purposes;iand who by their independent spirit will not obey the dictates | of a self-styled Board of Commerce, glandly monopolize the yovernment bor and its uses. It is almost useless to enter into an argument on the justice of the demands made by our Senators of our har- followed the | w { } who would | ave been given to him here, all sorts of speeches | made in his praise, toasts drunk, and compli- in Washington for the rights of their constituents; | for there can be no doubt, that with the exception of those who are directly interested in the busi- ness of making moncsy by shipwrecks, our com- munity, as a body, will uphold any course tend- ing to give to our own citizens their just means of securing a livelihood. The New York pilots are bredto their business; familiar with every point of danger in our harbor, they toil late and early, through storm and cold, for the guidance of our ships; they are joined as a body, and are respon- sible in every act. We sincerely trust that Congress will now take up this matter, and give back the privilege they have taken away from a too long neglected body of our citizens. Exrgorep Arriva or THe Hon. Louis M‘Lang. —We learn that our minjgter at the Ceurt of St. James, will sail from Liverpool in the steamer of the 19th inst. That he will be received with re- spect and honor by all parties, there can be no doubt. A true patriot and a firm sustainer of the interests of his country, he has, during the time passed in the service of the government, effected much in creating that friendly feeling be- tween England and America, which it is always worthy of their own characters to uphold. Time has shown that no one from this country has com- manded the respect of the statesmen and digni- taries of Europe in a fuller measure, than the gentleman whose anticipated return we now chronicle. ) | | carrying into Egypt ideas which may spread, and So far as regards opinions expressed by the various organs of pub- lic opinion in this country upon American affairs, Lhave seldom ever witnessed so lite excite- ment, or so little enquiry. The settlement of the Oregon question appears to have closed up all de- sire in the public press to take any special inte- restin American affairs. On the arrival of the mer, the newspapers, both here and in | ice, gave copious details of the military ope- | rations in Mexico; and it really appears to be the | desire, if notof the government, at least of the great commercial public here, to allow the Ame- ricans to form and fashion their own destiny upon | the Western continent. There is not a single feel- | ing of sympathy, in any quarter, expressed to- | wards Mexico, when people talk of, or make re- | ference to, her affairs. It appears to be the opi- | nion that the preponderance of the United States | over Mexico, in any shape, is better for European | interests than any other destiny which might be | devised for that unhappy country. From intima- | tions already given, I am much disposed to think | thatalready the British government, under the Premiership of LordJohn Russell, does not ap- prove of the recent movement of the British and | French fleets in South America. I shall not be | surprised if we see the new Ministry withdraw all interference as to the course of events in the Ri- ver Plata;and if it should allow the republics of | that region to shape their own destiny, and take care of their own affairs. Such appear to be the | ideas put forth by the organ of the new Ministry in this metropolis. The truth of the matter is plain enough—the governing classes in this coun- try, who are at the head of a highly artificial sys- tem of society, do not wish to disturb the present state of things in which they enjoy the world, by proveking, if itcan be avoided, any collision with | our American republic and policy. Hereafter it | will probably be that they will avail themselves of | every possible commercial intercourse with the | people, both of South and North America, with | out, however, intermingling with their political revolutions, or with their future political destinies. | The ideas put forth a year ago, in relation tothe establishment of a monarchy in Mexico, are now last st both of the commercial and manufacturing inte- | rests, viz: to allow the American republics to | shape their own governments, and to avail them- selves here, of all possible advantages of trade and commerce with them—seems to be the policy which will be adopted both by France and Eng- land. The great interest felt here during the last few weeks among the upper classes, has been in rela- tion to the new ministry of Lord John Russell. The fall of Sir Robert Peel, and the rise of Lord | John, present a complete anomaly in the history of British parties. After agitations of various kinds during the last twenty years, all parties in this country appear to have reached a perfect calm, a central point, in which there is scarcely a breeze which now ruffles the surface. It is, however, only the beginning of a new period of fresh agitations, which must gradually spring up out of the natural impulses of society, and form the State and condition of the country. During the fashionable season, which will close in afew weeks, the west end of London presents a greater display of wealth,grandeur and luxurythan perhapsany other similar spot on the surface of the earth. The Queen and the nobility, including also the House of Commons, with all their re- tainers, numbering probably not over 3000 per- sons, have the monopoly of the soil and the wealth of this wonderful country; and spend in the enjoyment of life an amount which would ple in the middle circles of human life. The wealth of this small portion of the British public is unbounded, and can scarcely be believed in other countries. Their whole existence is spent among gorgeous displays and splendors for a few months of the year, in princely residences in town, recruiting afterwards in the country for travelling on the continent. In the immediate these noble people, (and [ have selected him only as a specimen,) who spends annually 500,000 dol- lars, and others some two millions, while the mnul- titude of dependents on their estates in the coun- try live upon eight shillings a week, on which they have ,to support their wives and families. Hitherto this state of society has been supported, increased and extended, by taking within its vor- tex, all those who have become immensely rich by manufactures or commerce. Individuals from among the manufacturing or commercial population, springing from the middling or lower classes, when they get rich it is their highest am- bition to be countenanced by the upper classes, to be invited to their soirées and dinners, and to be tolerated by those who enjoy the hereditary rights and hereditary privileges of the empire. This state of society—this’ singular and unequal condition of human circumstances is increasing every year, and the natural tendency of such an artificial system, must lead to agitations upon agi- tions, every succeeding one fiercer than the for- mer, until some sort of equality shall be restored among all classes of the empire. But when this time shall arrive is buried in the bosom of futuri- ty. In the mean time, it is astonishing to see the quiet and order which prevail, the apparent content, and absence of all tumult and agitation ina country in which there is such an unequal distribution of honors, property and offices, and even of the common necessaries of life. During the last ten days, society here has been principally occupied with the movements of Ibra- him Pacha, eldest son of Mahemet Ali, who has been looking and examining into everything con- nected with the arts, manufactures and system of this country. He ieft town yesterday for South- amprton, and will embark immediately in a ves- sel prepared by the government to take him to his own country. All sorts of entertainments ments showered down upon him from the high- est to the lowest ranks. Ibrahim himself, accor- ding to the best accounts, has had his eyes and ears open, and his mouth shut, unless when he was eating and drinking. He has been exceea- ingly taciturn, looking into everything and treasu- ring up everything, probably with the view of form the nucleus of a new empire. According to allaccounts he is a wonderful man, no less than his father, in the art of founding empires and governing them. I should notbe atallsurprised to find yet, after some time, the political centre of the Mahometan system settled down either in Egypt or Palestine, under the control. of Tbrahim Pacha, or some such individual, Of theatrical and musical affairs deal to interest the reader. ‘The Trak and nine or ten other theatres, are pay pnid Every night all the fashionable People, and those of high rank, attend exclusively the Italian Ope- ra, with an oceasional divergence to see Mlle, Rachel, or some other solitary celebrity, in the other theatres. Taglioni has announced her last engagement this week at the theatre, and I shall certainly see her on this occasion. She is now over forty years of age; and in private life looks like a respectable, sharp-eyed,economical,shrewd, cunni: g widow lady, like such as may be found keeping boarding houses in some second rate street in New York. This is a precise description of this wonderful goddess in the art of dancing.— Upon the stage, however, she looks like a divini- here is a good visit fallen man. But to see her in her private re- | treat, she looks as Ihave described her—like a wii lady who once kept a boarding house in the Bowery. Cerito is also here, dancing, and certainly, upon the stage, is far superior in inte- rest to any other; she would make a more decided hit in America than has been made since the days of Fanny Elssler. Lucille Grahn is like a ghost of the other world, in extremely short petticoats, and leng lank legs, dancing down eternity before you. But after all, Fanny Elssler, in the aggre- gate, off or on the stage, is the most distinguished | danseuse | have ever seen, and one who will bear aclose examination. Dumbleton is here with his Ethiopians, and has made a prodigious hit. He has been highly approved of by Queen Victoria, | who is very fond of American wit and humor; also by the royal family and all the court, includ- ing both parties. He has certainly made a prodi- gious hit, and is going to the continent. He will make $100,000 before he leaves off. This has been brought about chiefly by the excellent tact of Dumbleton himself, who is a regular Yankee all over, from top to toe. Miss Cushman and her sis- ter have just closed their engagement at the Hay- market. She is on the tiptop tide of fortune, and will probably realize a large one before she leaves this country.. The success of Miss Cushman, and the failure of Forrest, who both were here a year ago, is hardly understood in the United States.— Ihave learned the facts, and the case is quite amusing. It appears that Forrest made his debut at the Princess’ theatre—Maddox is the manager, who is well known in the United States. He was ambitious to sink the style which had gained hima name in the United States-~and in which he appeared in his natural energy, and without af- fectation—to assume another in which he thought to give a superior model of all that was classical. The attempt altogether failed: whereas had he stuck to his original style, and played Metamora instead of Shakspeare, it is probable he would have made a great sensation among the critics. On the contrary, Miss Cushman, aided by no one, heralded by no one, came out and trusted to her own acting, in the same style and with the same amount of energy as in the United States. The novelty of her style surprised and delighted an English audience; she made a hit at once; all | the newspapers acknowledged her success spon- taneously. Forrest’s error, however, consisted in attempting a new style, for had he been content with playing in his original style, he would have been more successful. However, 1 am not with- out hopes he may yet make a hit in London, if he will avoid the vain ambition of seeking to set himself up asa rival to Macready and others in their own conventional manner. If he will stick tohis own manner, and play here as he did in the United States, no doubt he will succeed much better. He is already gradually returning to his old theatrical tracks in the provinces—hence his greater success in the provincial theatres than >in London.
