Foreign News.?Upon the first page
of this week's paper will be found extracts
of foreign news brought out by the ;
steamer Great Britain. The news is
not of much importance, with the exception
of the English presses upon the <
Oregon question, and the advance of an !
l-8d in the price of cotton. '
Since the arrival of the Great Britain,
the Cambria, has arrived, bringing advi- '
ces up to the 19th ultimo, which are al- |
so of little importance, but giving an ad- (
vance still in the cotton market. The
Corn Law has passed the House of
Commons by a large majority, and is
thought will pass the House of Lords
also. Upon the Oregon question, the
London Times says:?
" The packet which will sail from
Liverpool in a few days will convey to 1
the United States the real impression
produced here by the late intelligence. <
If the resolution was intended as a threat <
or a hostile measure, it has totally failed ]
to have any effect whatever, exce.pl that <
it is probable Mr. Pakenham will be at \
once empowered to bring the controversy to ,
a prompt and final issue. The London 1
Economist states, on what it considers
high and unquestionable authority, that
the Oregon question is on the point of a
satisfactory settlement."

The Tariff Bill.?The Union of
27ih ult holds the following language
on this subject, to which we respond, so
may it be.
" The civil and diplomatic bill is
among the last of the appropriation measures
which demand the immediate ac- '
tion of Congress. This bill will* probably
pass the House of Representatives
to-morrow ; and then, we fervently trust, ,
the road is open to the immediate discussion
of the tariff. ^ We have never
seen a better and firmer spirit among
our republican friends than now. We
say again and again, in the frankest and
boldest, and yet most respectful spirit,
that it is time to act upon it?time to |
carry out the reforms for which we came
into power, (and this is the greatest
among them)?time to relieve a suffering
people, and equalize the burdens, as well
as the blessings, of the govern ment. Let
no member complain that his friends
will not stand by him, and do their duty.
Cowardice, nay, in such a case, despair
betrays almost like treason. Let the
republicans stand up to their duties like '
men, and the ship is safe." .
