The Roynl Mail Steamship Caledonia - arrived at about half past 8 o'clock this - orning, brinigng Liverpool papers to the lith ult. and London to the 18th. The price of corn was rising rapidly. '.The weather in England continued most wretched for crops. The iron trade-was brisk, and the de mand far beyond the supply. TIhe American provision trade flourish es. The stock of Beef, Pork, and Cheese, is light ; and the state of things in Ireland will have a tendency not only to improve prices, but to lessen competi - tiqn. The Cotton market is depressed, the business transacted is limited, prices have a downward tendency, and holders, evi dently not at ease, show a desire to accept the current rates, and to prest their stocks. The sales of the week. ending on Friday. only amounted to 20,000 bales, and limit ed as this business is, it was even more restricted yesterday,-for not more than 1500 to 2000 hags.changed hands. . The people of that part of Russia situ ated near the Black Sea, were, at the last accounts, suffering terribly for the want of provisions. The pri:e of bread has advanced in Paris, and indeed all over Europe. The Jesuits of Saint Acheul, being dis persed by order, of their superiors, have sold the Mlaison de Blatnent, which they possessed, at the gates of Amicas. This important establishment, which formerly contained 200 students, has been pur chased by the Dames du Boon Pasteur as a rtfuge for repentant young women. A new conspiracy is said to have been discovered at Warsa%%, and some scores of wrc;ched victims, chiely students, have been packed off to Siberia. and to the dungeons of the fortress. Great cruel ties are practiced towards monks and nuns, and the people is generd. to compel them to abandon the Catholic for the Greek Church. The river Tyne has been visited by a flood, higher than any that has occurred for the last thirty years. The failure of the potatoo crop in Ire land if a most distressing event. The ac counts connected with this subject, from all parts of that country, are painful in the extren:e. WAR PREPAATION IS ENGLAND. The European Times says:-The dock yards and naval arsenals of England ex hibit extraordinary activity at the present moment. In many of the outports, steam frigates of the largest class have been or dered by the government, to be ready by a fixed period, according to the contracts, andithe builders have been botud in heavy penalities-to have them ready. at -the required time. In addition, surveys have been made of the coast and of the out ports, and preparations are also being made for placing the whole in a position of the " ar r ttIretiruandImpreta.'m Rut the natural inquiry is, whence this war like activity ? ' * * Those who pro fess to see farther into a mill-stone than any of their neighbors, point to Oregon for a solution of the mystery. President Polk, say they, is determined to have the disputed territory, irrespective of the cousequences. The comnparativye weak ness of the wvhigs in the flouse, nd the * strong feelings woich ingluence a large portion of the citizens of the U, States upon this question, are adduced as potent reasons for the preparations for rte on slaughtt, of which the dock yards of Britain give indubitable proof. The preparationts to wrhtch we allude, are unqjuesttonably matters of fact. STATE OF TH E.ORtEGON QUES TION. This controversy, on which hittgcs, peir haps, the peace of the wvorldl, appears to have approached no nearer a termmtiation .now, that it has become a lirebrand on both sides of the Atlantic, than when it was a mere play thing among politi::ians. Argument is exhausted. The press htas fultminated. The orators have declaimed. -The demagogues have ceased to draw from it materials of popularity. Diplo mancy even has exhautsted its resotrces. Still this questia texata remrams in its * original state of peril to the peace of two countrics wh-ose relations are naturally * pacinec. Despite rutmors, speculative sttg gestions and the whole progeny of conyec .tttre, we feel confident that no defititte conclusion or approach to settlement can he made untill botht Mr. Polk antd Sir Robert Peel have felt the public impulse, as indicated in the opinions of the Amecri can Congress and British Parliament. Whten the British Pretmier repelled in the I house of Commons our exiremte preten sion to Oregon, heo wias bortne along ont the torrent of British pride. He hteeatme, fot *the moment, as sensitive and-repulsive as .the tmost impassioned advocate fur Brttish honor could have desired. in this he showed himself the adroit tnanager of1 the Hocss of Commons. To- have then fallen short of the highty excited tone of - that body would have risked his influeonce over it. To have pitched htis indignation itt too low a key would have hazzarded' hispopularity,. In.shtori to flag on such an, occasion is to commit an irreparable - blunder. Sir Robert Peel was, therefore, compelled to sympathize with the lRouse of Commons and natiottal feeling beyond the safe limits of public syrnpatity-to kindle even with a warmer glow than-the most ardent of his followers. But titore is sucn a part to play itn thte -. action of a British Minister as to fall in with the strong current .of public feeling, aud to coaxa ii. into quietude by thte arts of * ~eounieracting policy,.i The modes of - .loing itzs are various.i a- country im pressible la ifs opinions througtn-a free po li'ical press. That which appears'.o have * been insxtrichbry'intolkved in the toils of diplomacy, may.. dwindle into itnsigt.ifi cance by workiogskil~y on the publie pwtn. Phat for the maintainance of which natidnal trfe basbeen invokeu in Parliament,. may- be freely advocated, in the- ca'inet and dub ously supported out of doors. This is-perhaps the key to the subdued language of the British prints in relation to Oregon. Those especially un der the control of the government may have -received their lesson. But let us not mistake these softened phrases for the voice of subilission. There is a point to which no British minister can consent to relinquish claims which have been blend ed with the national sensibilities. This is the present posture of the Oregon ques tion. It is not like the North Eastern boundary dispute. That was a quarrel which admitted of adjustment by the res pective governments. This is one in volved with popular feeling. That ad mitted of mediation, even to the latest stage of dispute. This threatens to close the door completely, not only to negoeia= tion, but to me-iatory offices or friendly intervention of any kind. The British government are unquestionably anxious for compromise, and, that failing, could not be averse to arbitration. The final shape, therefore, which this question will take, depends on the action of our own government. If our extreme claim to 54.40 is sustained by Congress, all avenue to present accommodation is closed. The British Government cannot, without the loss of national consideration in Europe, and dare not, without the loss of influence and popularity at home, ad mit our extreme pretension. What then? It does not follow that War must follow on the heels of the rupture of the negotia tion. it involves no act of even incipient hostility, to give notice of the termination of the Convention, but it would be an act of war to authorize military occupation of the territory. This would lead inevitably to hostilities. The question of Peace or War depends, therefore, on the rein per of Congress.-we may say, on tho discretion of the United States Senate. The notice that the;-convention for mutual peaceful occupation will not be renewed, still leaves the door unclosed by which the messenger of peace may enter. lope always hov ers on the thresthold of accommodation when the pride and passions of nations do not bar the access. Let us avoid that. and a national quarrel. for an insignificant object, of which we know the commence ment, but cannot even conjecture the pe riod of termination.-Chas. Evening News Important Rumor.-It is rumored that Mr. Paekenham, the Britis. Minister at Wash ington, finding there is little hope of ad justing the Oregon question, either by compromise or arbitration. has proposed to leave the whole teiritory in its present condition for twenty years. under the joint protection of England and the U. States, and with the stipulation that at the end of said period, its then inhabitants may at tach themselves to either country. or erect then:selves into an in.dependeu' sovereign ty, as they may prefer. If such a propo sition has been made, we trust that it will be accepted ; for the effect of it t-ill be, to give the whole territory eventually to the U. States. If the whole territory is open to settlers from England and the U. States on equal terms, it will at the end of 20 years contain ten Americans to one Englishman. Such are the migratory habits of our people, and so accustomed are tany of thern toftrotier life;mtt iey will go to Oregon in crowds, while En glishmen will only go by dozens. 'T'his arrangement would enable the English Fur Companies, as well as our own peo ple, to continue their operations over the whole territory for twenty years, by which time the wild game would probably be pretty much killed of1' This is truly a republican plan, since it gives to the people the control of their own destiny. Whether it proposes to allow the people the whl-e territory to vote jointly at the end of 20 years. Otn the ques tion of theit future destiny, -ar~ in sections, one (say) cotmprising all the territory tnorth of latitude 49, another the territory be tween Columbia river and latitude 49, and a third, a territory south of the Co lunbia River, we are unable to say. If in sections it might be that the tnt-thern part would attach itself to Great Britain. ad the southcrn part to the U. States We do not pretend to state the propo sitiout exactly, nor do we know that it has been made at all. We -give itas a rumor, but are not without hope that it will prove to be authentic. At any rate it is a new idea and deserve altenttive cotisideration. Perhaps upon this basis may be adjutsted a trublesome, not to say dangerous con troversv,-w hich by had management on either side, tmighit easily lead to the must deplorable consequences.-N. 3'.

Dyer & Mooney, in which the latter wa. killed by a blow inflicted by the former with a piece of a rail. $'hey were both under the influence of liqunr at the time. It must be apparent to every one who is at all observant of what- occurs almost daily and nightly among ,ur-negroes,- that they have the means of procuring intoxi cating liquors just as often as they feel disposed to use it, can get the mnonev to pay for it. When asked where they pro cure it, the reply- is always the same they buy it wagoners. If this is the case, is there no way to put a stopfto it ? But if, as it is supposed by tnady, they are supplied by some person itthe village, or its immediate vicinity, it" behoves the Town Council, as well as every owner of negroes. to spare no pains. to ferret out the off'ender, ano if convicted, to inflict upon him the extreme penalty of the law he has so basely violated.:-Iountaineer. The Court of General Sessions and Common Pleas.-Hlas been in Session since Monday week last, his Honor Judge Richardson, presiding. The only cases of general interest, which have thus far, been brought before the Court. have heen, the case of the State vs. John Stack. for killing H1ornsay, and the case of the State vs. Sion Barefoot for Bigamy. In the former case, the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty; in the latter the defendant was convicted, but we learn, has given notice of appeal, on the ground that his first marriage was void, inasmuch a' it was within the Levitical degrees, the wo man being his aunt..

They were very voluminous, but nothing is know of their contents The Cotton Crop.-Tho Milledgeville Recorder says'. "Our. unusually mild Fall has changed, in a slight measure, the prospect through this portion of the State, in reference to the yield of the Cotton crop from all we can learn, from various sources as well as from personal observa tion, (which by the bye, has not been lim ited,) we have come to the conclusion, that from the late growth ving more ticipated, there will be 'realised abont two thirds of the crop. The article in general however will not he found as good staple, or be altogether as fair in quality as usual. This arises from the bulls having been frematurely forced open by the drought before they had obtained their growth; and subsequent rains having frequently stained the late picking." .Sleamaboat Collision-Tcentyj lives lost.
