Treaty between Russia and the United States, fleet the northern boundary of Oregon at 45 40 deg. north latitude. In additicn to the above we are credibly informed -that's British map of 1789 has been found, and is now in possession of a •gentleman in Philadelphia in which -the territory at present in dispute between this country and Great Britain, is laid down as part of a great island, extending from the tropic of Can cer to 46 degrees North latitude, under the general •sttttewf "Califarnia," divided from the main land by ebe"Golf of California, or the Read Sea." Numer iitoriVers and mountains are noted on the map. Van -couver's island is not down,'but all the country on the spossitieentmorth of 46 degas es is designated unknown parts. Su slight was the knowledge of the geography of Western America possessed by the English Gov ernment at the time the map was issued, that the Rocky Mountains are represented in detached groups, ,extending nearly East and West. The work of which Jibe uwp referred to forms a part, is a series of maps of the Narieus countries on the Globe, engravings of scenes,lorta, towns, batteries, &c., in various pla ces, showing -the progress of British arms, and is entitled "Tyndall's Continuation of Benin's History of England,'' in twelve•volumes, folio. It wilt be seen that in 1789, the year in Which the above map was published by the British, Colnet at tempted to take possession of N mike Sound, but failed and was made a prisoner by the Spaniatds—the year before 1788, Capt they or Boston, of the sloop Wash ington, and Capt Benderiek, of the ship Columbia, entered the Nootka Sound. In 1392, Capt. Gnsief Boston, discovered the mouth of the Columbia river, and on the 11th of May sailed up it the distance of fourteen miles. Afterwards, in the same year, how ever, Vancuover, entered tho Columbia river, but he done so with a full knowledge that Capt Gray had been there before him. The above facts, ret.friaveisttb.do doubt, will, by our readers, be regardetr** outidlusive; Oregon is our's every, foot stelft..., Some hate distibted whether rite Territory stortif.of the 49th tiegreeCottabe valuable to the United Stdbes in any point of view. 'We think it cannot be general ly known that up to the 49th degree of northlatitude, there is but one safe harbor on the coast; between the 49th arid - 54th degree, there are many beautiful and safe harbota. The fa'ct that the harbor at the mouth of the Columbia, is by no means a safe and good one, give!' dditional value to those north of it. In reference to the- harbor at the mouth of the.Celurnbia, Cap t, Wilkes says:—“Mere deseriptlon can give little idea of the terrors of the bar of the Columbia; all who have seen it have spoken of the wildness of the scene, and the incessant roar of the witters, representing it as one of the most fearful sights that can possibly meet.the eye of a sailor. The difficulty of its channel, the dis tance of the landing sailing marks, their uncertainty to one unacquainted with their), the want of knowledge of the strength and direction of the current, with.the necessity of approaching close to .unseen &m on, the transition from clear to. turbid water, all cause doubt uud mistrui t." The loss on that bar of our unfortunate sloop of war Peacock, one of the Exploring Strndrttit, is graphi cally set forth in the samenarrarive; howev . er, on the subject of the entrance to the Columbia, the noun tor might with justice have added much more respecting its "insermovntablc difficulties and dangers" The changing from time to time of its bare and shoals, by the heavy gales of tA ind and boisterous weather,prev alent on that coast, to an extent that often compels our ships to best about for weeks, before they dare at tempt to effect an entrance. The powerful and irre. istible cross-tides and whirlpools, at the point where the waters of the Columbia unite with those of the Pacific—these and numerous other objections, appre ciable only by a practical navigator, form what, in the strongest sense of the term, may be denominated a very serious, if not am insurmoualabie bar to safe navigation." It will be seen by an examination of the Map of Oregon, that the waters of the Columbia extend to near fhe 54th degree, and should we permit ourselves, says an intelligent correspondent of the U. S. Journal, "to be bullied and crowded down farther south, we shall be ehr-ated out of our rightful share of the good her bors, rich fisheries, and the well timbered lands bor dering on the De Fuca Straits, and Puget Sound-" The same writer adds: "It may be stated with every confidence that all who will properly investigate the real merits and importance of Oregon, inn commercial or agricutural point of view, it cannot but be self-evi dent, that unless we are permitted to embrnce within our limits, other of its harbors, besides that of the Columbia River, and higher up tnan the 49th degree, we bad better sell out at "half price," and abandon all to the insaliablc craw of .lona Our neighbor may, ere this, have rend all the facts presented above, and if so, we can only say, that it is matter of great surprise to its, that he ran still find room to doubt our j.ist right to every foot we claim of Ore:on. FILOGIUMS.—We have, by several different persons been requested to publish the Kulogi urn on the life and services of Gen. Jackson, delivered by Gov.

They are rather too lengthy for the columns of a daily paper, the readers of which generally look for n vas iety.

ROBBERY eNn MURDER.—Ahout one o'clock, on Wednesday night last the watchmen were attincted to the entry of a house in Commercial street, Bos ton, by the greens of some person apparently in great pain, and on examining the premises, they discovered a suffering man, of about 55 or 60 years of age, who had been badly wounded about the head, He was ta ken up and carried to a cellar nest by, end afterwards sent over to the Marine Hospital, in Chelsea, where he died. Two Revere wo•tnds were found on his head, above and behind the ear, such as would necessarily cause his death, and his skull was fractured. Verdict of the jury, "thnt ho came to his death by violence." The jury also found that he was robbed of money to the amount of more than twenty dollars. A SINULLAR FRILAK.—A hen's nest, on the farm of Mr. Daniel Lamborn, Howard District with which there weto four eggs, was taken possession of bye par tridge, some short time since and she continued to set upon them till two chickens were botched, but upon their being removed the unnasuml mother declined giv ing further parental care, and thereby defeated an at tempt to draw her into more domestic association.

BIG TRACES IN FAYETTE Con:cm—The Somer set Heald mentions a curiosity in Fayette county, near Connellsville. "This is a rock, on the surface of which are the impressions of a human foot and those of some immense herbiferous animal, together with certain hieroglyphic.', which were evidently drawn by the hand of man—all going to prove, that at a very early period, when the upper formation of rocks was yet in a plastic state, this portion of our planet inhabited both by human beings and some spe ar animals, the -tracks if which are now extinct. human foot print is represented na being of ex traordinary size, measuring 18 or 20 inches in length, and 12 or 13 inches in breadth across the-toes. which are six in number! Those of the animal are equally large—and the identations of both are so plain and distinct, as to leave no doubt in regard to their ger uineness. The hieroglyphics consist of the outlines of the head neck and mane of some animal, and of an arrow, all its parts complete,pointing in the direction of the former. How far the-se facts may go to either confirm or contradict-the generally received opinions of geologists, we are unable to say—but haps that some one competent to the task will examine into them, and give to the public the result of his investigation.', A HUGE POTATO.—The editor of the Circleville Guard, received as a present on the 24th of July, a sweet , potatoe, raised by Mr. Gordon, which weighed twenty three pound 4-27 inches in circumference, and 40. f inches in length. We presume that the editor, with a tv.enty•three pounder in his locker, will feel se cure under a shower of "mull potatoes." reVmnibus-es, su)s the N. Y.

A few days ago hewas in one of the stages when a lady, going to Union Park for a walk. took out tier purse o pay the fare of herself and child. On getting out of the stage she was followed by the old rascal, v. ho kept 111 sight during her walk. He returned with her in the stage going down town, and when near Pubis. s Garden, at tempted to abstract her purse. She seated the child between herself and him, and seeing himself detected he suddenly left the stage at the corner of Prince street. ‘Ve have heard of other instances in which he was foiled, though We believe he has more than once escaped with his booty front the foolish unwil lingness of ladies to have him arrested," WOMAS.-J wig° Lewis says: 'God pleas the sex!

Entron:—For ahem two month's pest, all the Rolling hills in this city, and vicinity, where the man ufacture of peddled iron constitutes the principal business, have been standing idle, owing to a turn-out among the Peddlers for higher wages. The wrier thinks that every man's labor is worth exactly what he can get for it, be it more or less, and that it is not only the privilege, but the duty, of every man, to demand for his services their highest market value. He finds no fault, therefore, with the peddlers for turning out, and if eirctonstences had not changed since that event, he would not advise them to go to work at the old rates. Every man knows that when competition has reduced the profits of tiny business to I their lowest point. n change in the coat of manufactur• ing, must produce a corresponding change in price. The qtiestion then arises, will the state of the market hear this change or advance in price? If so, no man is better entitled to the ndvnetnge of it than the work , man; but if not, it becomes the workman's interest that is should not take place, Why? Because the employer being ueable to make sales, would be obliged to suspend his operations, and the wotkman would consequently be thrown idle. To prove the collect ness of these remarks, we have but to reflect on the history of the iron business in this city fur the last five years. We have seen the market. glutted—the Mills idle--the hands willine ' to work for any wages and for any kind of pay. A similar cause will produce similar results. But is there any danger of such a !cause occurring? Yes. Look at the depressed con -1 dition of the iron market in England. The probubili ties of a reduction of duties on iron in our own coun try;—then take into the account the proportionably high price of pig to bar iron, and decide whether the ; present is a favorable time to force the price of bar iron up by holding out fur higher wages. Is it the interest of the Peddlers to do so? No ! The ne cosaary reaction of such a course, would bring upon them consequences incalculably more injurious than a little advance in wages, for a few months,could possibly benefit them. Pittsburgh requires the enti market she now enjoys to vent her manufactured iron, but if the price should advance this market would be diminished, and as a necessary consequence, a stock would increase on the hands of our manufacturers, the effect of which would be, that the mills would have to suspend operations, and the hands would be placed in the power of the employers as they were but two or three years since. The true policy of the Paddlers therefore is to go to work, and wait for a mote favora ble time to urge their demands. A FRIEND OF TILE PUDDLERS One hlundredPeople Killed,or Wounded by thcl Falling of a Chucrh Raof.—The:c•nn mune' of Abbe (Rhone) has been thrown into the utmost distress by the following frightful event: Sunday, June 8, being the fete of St. Medrad, the parish church was filled with the inhabitants of the villege,and the cure had justhe gan his sermon, when the roof of the church suddenly fell, covering the people as with an iron mantle. The scene was terrible; upwards of 200 persowbeieg hid den beneath the rains. Fortunately, the cure and two • other persons at the end Of the church had escaped, and they immediately ran to a timber yard close by, and seizing axes, succeeded, by the aid of some other persons, in extricating a number of the victims to' this deplorable calamity; musty, however, had perished, crushed by the weight, or suffocated by the pressure, and but few were without some iojury. The cause of the accident is unknown.—Gazette ele France. THE HAPPY INCIDENT. A Song set to Music by Mclntosh.

In addition to the two bodies noticed on the 29th , (which still remain in the grasp or its "agitated waters") ate ad ded the bodies of two horses and a hog. These may be seen from the batik above, passing around a "funer al circuit" of a mile or more in circumference—each sunceding circuit, drawing them nearer the vortex of the Whirlpool, until each in their turn, become sub merged beneath the boiling element—again thrown with violence from its angry embrace, to repeat its for mer evolutions. The sight of human bodies in the Whirlpool is solemn and terrific—the blue waters seem to hold their prey, in defiance of. human effort to dispossess them—until satisfied in reveling with the dead, it emit- them throngh its narrow outlet into the rapids below, to be entombed in Lake Ontario. Bs. F.s.—Dr. Waterman gives, in the Cleveland Her ald, his mode of catching the bee-miller or moth. He says, "I took two übitedishes, (I believe white attracts their attention in the night.) Cr deep plates, and pla ced them on the top of the hives, and about half full of sweetened vinegar.

GREATLY REDUCED PRICE—FROM $5 TO $3 PER •N -NUM—SINGLE copy, 25 CENTS. Prospectus of the next for 17th) Volume. THE PRICE of the DEMOCRATIC Ravtgw has heretofore been too high—not for its size, cost, and character, but for the means of tens of thousands. of readers wlyp would be glad to receive it, and among whom is is highly desirable that it should circulate. For the - purpose, therefore, of largely widening the range of its usefulness, and of multiplying thS num- , bers of those to whom it may be accessible, it has been determined, simultaneously with the great rerlnctirni in the expenses of the postage, to reduce its subscrip tion price also, from Five to only Three dollars; and when several unite in subscription, toss low as $2 50, or even $2 30 per annum. This very large reduction in the receipts (accompa nied with but a comparatively small diminution of its expenses). invokes, of course, an entire sacrifice of profit upon it, unless compensated by a vast multipli cation of its subscribe' s. There will be at the outset only a small reduction in its number of pages; soon to I be restored to its old number, without increase of ' price, when the anticipated success of the experiment Shall justify it. The PORTRAITS OF DISTINGUISHED DEMOCRATS will be continued—engraved in better and more costly style than heretofore. IThe POsTAGE will hereafter, for any distance,' be only five and a half cents; it has heretofore been, 1 for over 100 miles, eighteen cents. We look for an extension of circular ion to be reckon. cd by tens of thousands, as the result and compensa tion of this great reduction of price. Every friend of the work. and of the Democratic principles and cause, is confidently appealed to, to exert himself with an active interest to procure it subscribers; both to extend its usefulness, and to carry it successfully through the crisis of this great reduction of its receipts. Those who have paid in advance fur the coming year, will receive it, at the reduced rate, for a year and a half. Single copy, Four copies, It will thus be seen that when thirteen copies are or. dered at once, the price is brought down to about $2,30 each. For six months, half these rates, These rated afford high indncments to agents and others to interest themselves to procure subscribers. The cash system and payment in advance most be uncompromisingly adhered to. The past relaxation of it has caused an accumulation of not far from 40,- 000 of debts flue to the work. Hereafter this must be wholly reformed; nor must either eminent political friend, or the most intimate personal one, be displeas ed on experiencing its application, in the stoppage of their numbers, if they'neglect this rule; the vital ne cessity of which, at the present reduced rates, must be obviens to all. No communications will be taken from the Post Of fice unless free of postage. All communications; both on editorial and publishing business, must be addressed henceforward to the un dersigned. Those relating to the settlement of the past debts due the work will be still addressed to Mr H G LazsoLer, 8 Astor House, the past arrange ments with whom, as pnblisher, have reached their ter- J L O'Strt.t.tvss, 132 Nassau street, New York. ruination. July, 1845 LAST LIKENESS OF GENERAL JACKSON The admirable Daguerreotype of General Jackson, taken by A ntboey, Edwards & Co. a fescareeke before his death, has been purchased for the use of the Dem ocratic Review. It is in the bands of the artist, and will be engraved in the finest style of mezzotint of ex tra size. It is a most besutifel and interesting work declared by Me Van Buten and others to give a more perfect idea of the good and great old man than any other likeness; and ought to be possessed and framed by every friend who loves or reveres his memory.— Those who subscribe eat ly will receive it as one of the regular pellets of Portraits.
