Arrival of the AeadUa. The steamship Acadia arrived ut Boston on Friday, bunging interesting intelligence ait to the state of feeling in Englund upon the Oregon difficulty. The violent and imprudent of the Washington Union had been received in that country, and had done much to embitter and prejudice the public feeling. In the preceding colums we have given such extucts from the Knglish a our limited space would ullow. Notwithstanding the strong tone of these articles, we believe the general inference drawn from the character of the intelligence by the Acadia, it favorable to the possibility and even probability; that the whole JBTJT Friday Evening, ifcc.

Letters from "Washington repeat the rumor that negotiations have been ed by Mr. Pakenliam, under recent instructions from Lord Aberdeen. The nature of these instructions is of course unknown; but it appears to be the wish of both Governments to adjust the difficulty, if possible, at the earliest day.
