We received, at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, by the arrival of the packetship Toronto, Capt
Tinker, from London, four days later news from
that port which we published IN an extra, several
hours in advance of any OF our contemporaries.
The ship was boarded at sea by one OF our clippers,
and the news dispatched to the citynby express.


The advces, in political point OF view, are not
of much importance. No further action had been
taken in Parliament in relation to the Oregon ques-
tion; but the receipt OF accounts from this country,
showing that the notice resolutions would probably
pass both houses OF Congress, had given an oppor-
tunity to some of the London papers to make the
matter subject Of comment The Morning Chro-
nieie, the organ Of the whig party, in remarking
upon these resolutions, says that their adoption, IN
any shape, must lead to the most unfortunate con.
sequences; for if they pass without clause pro-
posing the resumption Of negotiations it is virtual
declaration Of war; and if they pass even with that
clause, it must restrict negotiations and compel the
two governments to come to some amlcable settle
ment within the twelve months, to prevent any
movement in the disputed territory endangerlng
the peaceful relations of both countries.


The pos ton of the two governments in relation TO
this question, after the expiration Of the twelve
months, without some settlement in the meantime,
would not be favorable as it is at present-there
would be danger at all times OF some difficulty with
in the limits Of the territory in dispute, that might
plunge the two countries into war, at very short
notice. The views of the organ Of the whig party
of Great Britain upon the point, are tar from being
incorrect or unsound and the difficulties the pre-
mature action OF the House of Representatives have
thrown in the way Of negotiations upon this affair."
are every day becoming more apparent and more
formidable.


II will be more difficult to agree upon compro-
mise in the event OF the "netce resolutions" pass
ing both Houses of Congress, without the most
liberal qualifications attached to them. AS the Lon
don Chronicle remarks, "Every concession would
be construed to be-ifn would not be in fact-a
concession to fear--a concession made under the
pressure of the alternative, ,car." 1t would be well
to reconsider this matter Giving the notice, is con-
sidered peace measure, and Of itself may be but
that twill preserve peace is another thing. 1t will
become necessary if the notice is given to bring the
question TO a settlement before the expiration Of
that notice Should negotiations not be resumed
immediately after giving the notice, and the ques-
ton brought to an amcabe settlement, within the
limits Of that notice, greater difficulties will
surround the matter than have ever before
existed, and the peace Of the two nations
will not be for moment permanent. II is
evident from the tone of the British press, that the
course pursued by the organ of this government at
Washington has thrown obstacles in the way of a
speedy and amicable arrangement Of this question,
which il would not otherwise have experienced. Its
remarks in relation to this matter have not been
dignifed courteous, nor, in many instances, even
respectful Being the official paper, its sentiments
are considered those Of the government, and its in
consistences are looked upon being those OF the
Executive. Its laundering assertions considered
official menaces and the prejudices already exist
ing between a portion Of the people OF both coun-
tries are made more bitter, and the peace of the
two governments endangered. So much for the
official paper Of the administration and unless
some great change takes place In its character, its
influence authority in govercmen matters will be
as limited in Europe among those who know the
character OF its statements in this country. 1t will
be fortunate thing for the country if its inconsis
tencies have already destroyed its influence abroad
/ II appears that a new movement has been made
in the French Chamber of Deputies in relation to
American affairs, and the Ministry seem to have
lost ground, the position il wished to take in the
event of rupture between this country and Grea
\ Britain An amendment TO the address, in relation
TO American affairs, which was introduced, was
lost by a majority of seventy three-a decrease o.
five from the previous vote


The commercial advices are of very great impor
lance. 1t is possible that the Ministry of Grea
Britain may be compelled to make more liberia
notifications Of the corn laws than originally
| proposed by Sir Robert Peel. Meetings had been
held in all parts Of the kingdom, and immense peti
tons had been to Parliament, calling for teta
and immediate repeal of the corn laws. 1t was off
claly announced in the House of Commons, tina
the Government had given large orders for the pur
chase of corn in the United States, for the purpos
Of supplying the starving population Of Ireland
The news, altogether, cannot be considered other
wise than favorable. The railway deposit crisis hat
passed away without producing any of the antici
pated evils; and there had been a very great i'm
provement in the funds
