Mr. Owen's Return From England to the United States.

Mr. Owen, the father of Robert Dale Owen, member of Congress from Indiana, has just arrived in our city by the packet ship Victoria, Capt. Morgan, having left Portsmouth on the 19th of last month. This makes the fourth time that Mr. Owen has crossed the Atlantic in five months and a half, and he is now upwards of 75 years of age.

He has made the voyages solely with a view--first, to aid in preventing war between the two governments on account of Oregon and Mexico--and second to create a permanent, cordial, good understanding and friendship between the governments and people of both countries, in order that in future, they may act as one nation, to aid each other in promoting, in good faith the peace, prosperity, and rational liberty of all other tribes and people, whether at present deemed more or less civilized.

Mr. Owen is convinced that there is a great general physical and moral change at home, a revolution "which no human power can now prevent or much retard the great Britain, the United States, and after a short period, France, Belgium, and then Germany and Russia, will lead onward to effect this change with foresight, in order, and in the pure spirit of an enlightened universal charity. But innumerable circumstances, beyond the foresight or control of men, have prepared the means for this greatest of all revolutions, as it will immediately affect all nations more or less to commence in America and Great Britain, the two nations which are destined to lead other nations to take part in this glorious change in the condition of man and of nations.--Bennett's Herald.
