OREGoN.-The following rumor, from the correspondence of the N Y. Journal of Commerce, is interesting. But it lacks con frmation in the Washington papers.

 OREGON NEGorlArIoy-Thc Washing ton Correspondent ofthe New York Journal of Commerce, in letter of the Both, says:

 l. was strongly rumored here yesterday, and is yet believed by some, that lhe Oregon has been brought to a close, by the offer, on our part, of the 18th degree, and it's acceptance by the British Minister, After inquiry, however, find that the ru- nor is probaly premature. Two members of the Cabinet have tated, this morning, that the fact had not come to their knowledge, and that, in their belief, the rumor is pre- posterous. But, through premature, the ru- mor may be eventually verified. The Brit ish Government would, doubtless, accept the offer now, though it was once rejected. It is true that we are not bound 10 repeat il, but it appears to be the alternative to not very remote collision between the British and American settlers ill Oregon.

 PAR MOBILE rRArRrM.-The editor of the Gazette, tacitly admits the full force of our remarks in justification of the adjourn ment of the Supreme Court, for he does not dare 10 controvert one of them. So much, then, for the araw head, and bloody bones, ? of evil and disaster, he would have eonjured up as the consequence of the adjournment. But, true to the instinct of congenialify, he hugs his friend Hughes to his bosom, ard continues to lament over his hard case. Ii the ancients were right, in judging man by the company he kept, is it not reasonable 10 take roguish sympathies, as indicative of a rogue al heart

 LITTLE BEN FnANKLlN.-This good little steamer las, recently, been purchased by Capt. MoRELANp, of Memphis, and, under his command, will run regularly between thaI port and this Capt. NJ. informs us that skc draws only tIro fset water, and will be able to make tbe trip at all times. We have long known Capt Mo4elahd, and his polite clerk. 3r. PFGscorr; and lake great pleasure in commenting them to the confidence and patronage of the public. She leaves here this morning for Memphis.

 85- Our thanks are due to Mr. JosEru ASHLEY, Clerk of the fine steamer "Arkan- sas No. 4,o for New Orleans dates of tho 12h, from which we gather several news ar- ticles of interest.

 S5 REwARp.-The editor of the Gazette Is so much annoyed at compliments paid tc others, that our curiosity Is excited to seC something in eommendation of him. Nc will, therefore, give e5 to any one who vii furnish us | single line, from any pen save his own, in praise of Ben Borden. And VIC pledge oursell, upon receiving il, to prose- cute it's author, to conviction, for libel on the hnman snecies.

 THOMAS W. DaRR.-Popular excitement has, at length, forced the Legislature of Rhode Island to Hberate Dom from his long ant unjust imprisonment On the 18th June tho act of liberation was passed. We have no seen the act; but learn from the Providence papers,. that 1t does not restore him uncon- ditonally to his civil rights. Wanting the feature of unconditional restoration, we re- gard it as defective in that which, alone, could render il a fit subject of public graduation The feelings of compassion for human suffer ing might desire the liberation of a prisoner. even with conditions, but the great principles of civil liberty, and the policy of popular go- vernment, could accept nothing less than un- conditional liberation. Ii admits of no dis pute that, in the course pursued by Dom. he was either halor, seeking the destfue- ton of government, or he was a patrioi. struggling for the just and inalenable rights of man. If he was traitor, he deserved not only the punishment he received, but as much more as could be imposed upon him. II he was patriot, he was entitled to uncon- ditional liberation, and the highest honors ol his fellow men. We have written as much. not only as an editor, but as private con tributor to other papers, in justification oI DonR, as any other man; and our feelings have been deeply enlisted in his behalf Bu, far rather had we seen him remain prison CT for life, even were he our brother, than come out into the free atmosphere of heaven. with the letters of conditional liberation up- on him. He should have remained a prison CT forever, rather than come forth uomina7h free, and in reality S7are, If he were not traitor to his country, he has, al least, pro- ven false tothe principles he professed. He is not made of the proper material fer hero or martyr to popular rights. He Is not en- titled to public sympathy nor the plaudts oI the people. We apprehend, now, that in his flight from Chepachet, he was moved by do- mtaicter blood, rather than courageous prudence.
