Foreign News..Upon the first pageof this week's paper will be found extractsof foreign news brought out by thesteamer Great Britain. The news isnot of much importance, with the exceptionof 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. TheCorn Law has passed the House ofCommons by a large majority, and isthought will pass the House of Lordsalso. Upon the Oregon question, theLondon Times says:.

" The packet which will sail fromLiverpool in a few days will convey to 1

the United States the real impressionproduced here by the late intelligence. <

Ifthe resolution was intended as a threat <

or a hostile measure, it has totally failedto have any effect whatever, exce.pl thatit is probable Mr. Pakenham will be at \once empowered to bring the controversy toa prompt and final issue. The London 1Economist states, on what it considershigh and unquestionable authority, thatthe Oregon question is on the point of a

satisfactory settlement."

The Tariff Bill..The Union of27ih ult holds the following languageon this subject, to which we respond, so

may it be." The civil and diplomatic bill is

among the last of the appropriation measureswhich demand the immediate ac-tion of Congress. This bill will* probablypass the House of Representativesto-morrow ; and then, we fervently trust,the road is open to the immediate discussionof the tariff.

^We have never

seen a better and firmer spirit amongour republican friends than now. Wesay again and again, in the frankest andboldest, and yet most respectful spirit,that it is time to act upon it.time tocarry out the reforms for which we cameinto power, (and this is the greatestamong them).time to relieve a sufferingpeople, and equalize the burdens, as wellas the blessings, of the govern ment.
