The National lntelhgercer, speaking ol the news by the Cambria, says:

 The most curious item of intelligence by this arrival is Inc unprecedented com pliment paid by the House of Lords 10 Mir. Secretary Walkers Annus Treasury Re- port, recommending the repeal of our pro tectiye tariff, which was ordered by their Dordships to be printed for the use of the House. It is, indeed, not improbable that Inc free trade propositions of our Secreta- lry accelerated, if they did not prompt, the kindred measure in England of total re- peal ot the corn laws"

 Upon this the N. Y. Evening Post re- marks, with rer,iniscence at this time pc. cullarly interesting. of very early s,age of the Oregon question:

 "The Intelligencer is not accurate in speaking oi the compliment paid to Mr. Walkers report as unprecedented. It is ihe practice of the English government to direct the printing of such documents from abroad i, as are of great public interest. Inc report concerning the Oregon terri.o. ry, made by MT Francis Blyies, of Mass. achuse''s' to the House of Representatives.. twenty years ago--a report which gave us our frsl impressions of the value of that territory and the strength of the American l'le to 't--was reprinted in England for the use oi the British government. So earlv was that government awake to the impor. lance oi That territory. and with such vioi. lance did she watch the proceedings of this country in regard 10 it.
