The Express. — London, England, 1851-07-26 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 28, 1851. session 1851, ran away from the moaning shipowners plight in which he is.

Prosperity has been in some of its ultimate effects a great curse to British shipping. When it had a substantial monopoly, shipping was so profitable • trade, that its profits attracted into it persons who had no knowledge of its details, who took no share in the management of their own property, and who regarded a ship as so much land bound to return a certain fixed rent. Such specula tors in shipping were in the hands of agents, brokers, and middlemen whose charges, as the pressure of competition increased, absorbed all profit. Far mers, petty tradesmen,retired capitalists, and even old ladies were all encouraged, induced, and seduced into taking shares in ship., indifferently built and expensively managed. A late City Alderman had half Scotland —a country always rife is speculation — engaged in ship adventures, to his own It not to their profit; and it is much in this fashion that a gentle man who now indites long letters on the shipping interest is supposed to be proceeding. Shipping thus owned and so managed, taxed, and eared for, could not be profitable. The great ship owners, who built, repaired, and conducted all the details of their own vessels, could live when ships in this plight were navigated at a loss. Brokerage, commission, insurance, management, and such other charges ate up all the profit of freight- Now to this class of shipping the repeal of the navigation laws, that is, the opportunity given thereby to the people and colonists of Eng land to get their goods and commodities earned as cheaply as the actual cost of transit in any hands will permit ; to this class the repeal has certainly been a great blow and a heavy discouragement. The other and better class, that of the GREENS, the WIGRAMS, the DI:NB ARS, who attend strictly and closely to their own affairs, who thereby escape and avoid all inter mediate charges, one at least of whom bottles beer to fill up outward cargo; these men join in the complaint because they are afflicted with the selfish ness common to humanity; but to their shipping, because it is well managed and cheaply navigated, a profit still attaches. Both classes have, however, an instinctive feeling that the repeal of the navigation laws, as they now onist, is an impossibility; they therefore advance, as a substitute for repeal, the doctrine of retaliation. They say that, since the abrogation of the old laws Spain has placed additional restrictions on the ship ping of other countries; that the United States have inconveniently extended the monopoly of their coast ing trade to the coast of the Pacific ; and that France has not responded to our liberality. Let us, there fore, they propose, retaliate on thew countries ;let us injure ourselves because they hurt us; let us put in force the 11th section of the statute of 1849. This, we venture to think, and will endeavour to show, is very absurd. Spain has not specially directed any legislation against this country; she has simply . acted on the com mercial principles which these friends of retaliation propound as moat calculated to promote human happi ness, and toincreasenational wealth; she hascommitted no exceptional commercial hostility against England; and for this country to retaliate on Spanish misuitel- Bruce of the true interests of Spain, would be an act of barbarism, besides being a piece of folly. In time Spain will growvriser, as we have done in time. Spain will in time consent to interchange with England a treaty of trade and navigation; Spain will in time admit our ships freely into Cuba, where, heaven knows, Spain has full right to be suspicious of us and of ours. But during the time we have to wait, we really cannot . punish ourselves by excluding sherry wine or raising the price of Havana cigars. We, in our turn, are far too selfish; we cannot do without these creature comforts. Cus tom is a second nature. That American ships have advantages in that modern El Dorado, California, over ours, is very in convenient and unpleasant; for it enables them not only to engross its trade, but to take lower freights from China than is profitable to us. But who is to blame ? Not the White House at Washington, but the Board of Trade in Whitehall. We will advance pari passe with you, said Mr. BANCROFT to Lord Psfatzttsrox; and so they have. But Mr. LABOU- ' CHEER had not the courage to open what the Yankees could not take advantage of, our coasting trade; and so they exclude us from theirs, part of which is the California trade. Here we are paying for our own fully. As Spain is injuring herself, so we have in jurcl, and in a far sillier way, ourselves. And what is the retaliation proposed against America ? Let us, say the Liverpool Shipowners' Association, " provide that the carrying trade vi.th the colonial possessions of the British crown in Ame rica and India and all the other dependencies, should henceforth be comprised within the coasting trade of Great Britain and Ireland." Astounding folly! Incredible selfishness! What! deprive the West Indies of cheap liner and cheap lumber, and so there increase the cost of sugar production to the advan tage of their rivals in Brazil and Cuba, because the United States act on the principle which Mr. LABOIXIIEREi in spite of all remMistrance, would insist on forcing into the sot of 1849. As well at once propose to abandon our sugar colonies. But thus it ever is with principles essentially false; you can't apply them without injustice and injury in every direction, and all around you. And then France ; we are asked to retaliate on France, whose late ambassador was actually p and hunting down Mr. LABOUCHERE to negotiate and conclude with him a more liberal navigation treaty, whose present ambassador is ready and willing and desirous to do the same, and in the success of which negotiation our s hipping have a far deeper interest than in the repeal of the act of 1849. For the France negotiations of turn, as we have often shown, on what is really a grievous burthen on our own, as well as their, marine—light dues, harbour dues, port dues, and other local burthens. Free trade in shipping has, no doubt, put the British shipowner to his pinches : that was its ine vitable consequence, though not its intention ; but it is putting his trade and his property in a sound condition, and, once over the difficulties of the revolution, it will place him and it at the head of the carrying trade of the world again. But how, and why ? By mensal the economy it will enforce, the attention it will beget, the intelligence it will introduce, the improvement, Mr. BERRIES and Mr. Yousc complain, and en- the skill, the good conduct it will beget, that it is force their complaint with statistics tediously elabo- already begetting ; by means of driving out of the rate, that the repeal of the navigation laws has nearly trade those who ought never to have entered it, by ruined British shipping.

The Bonapartist committee for promoting peti tions for the revision, have published a manifesto, urging the country to fresh efforts during the next three months, to make known through petitions the will of France. . . _ _ LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 26. WnEN the ministers of this country found them-' selves, not long ago, in a majority of no more them thirteen, they felt that they were called upon te re sign: The cabinet of Louis NAPOLEON are left is a minority of thirteen, on a motion censuring this administrative conduct of one of their principal mem bers, and are content to retain office. The contrast is striking and curious enough; but is it real, or apparent only In a constitutional regime like that under which we live, the head of the executive government holding office for life, would be wholly uncontrollable if it were not for the system of ministerial accountability. But ministerial accountability means ministerial removability, or it means nothing. Parliament & the revolution forbore to assert by statute its claim to appoint and to cashier cabinets; but it forbore simply from the consciousness of its power to assert and enforce the right whenever it pleased. Practi cally the exercise of this really supreme power in the state has come to be exercised by the House of Commons. And so profound is the conviction that against the will of an ascertained ma jority of that assembly no set of men can venture to hold office ; that when the sha dow of coming censure is seen to fall upon the Treasury bench, it is deemed good tactics and good taste to anticipate the apprehended event by resignation. ]knee the crisis of February last in England, and the tender twice repeated of power to the opposition. But in a republic like France the necessity of the case and its characteristic features are in many . re spects di ff erent. Louts NAPOLEON *Aborts the r ight rirt ale qfied to choose his confidential advisers, and to name the heads of all the departments of the state. To the Legislative Assembly he has signifi cantly refused to acknowledge that in this he is ac countable. Bmittor in his speech, the other day, re minded the Assembly that when, in October, Isti, he and his colleagues were summarily dismissed by the l'assil o Es r, although at the time they enjoyed, confessedly, the confidence of a large majority of the representative body, no protest was made, the right of the head of the executive was tacitly admitted, and the example was set fur subsequent acts of the same character. Still more recently a cabinet, as may be recolleeted,was even appointed, several of whom did not possess any parliamentary- position whatever. as if Louis NAPOLEON meant to assert in the most unequi vocal sense his notions of irresponsibility in this behalf. According to his theory of the constitution of 1848, the President is appointed for personal qualities, and in order that during his term of office he may carry on what is called " personal government," that is to say a course of policy in which his individual views and opinions are legitimately to have influence and expression. Whether this be the sound and orthodox version of the republican constitution is a question • which a constituent assembly, should it ever be called together, will probably have to decide. But it is clear, that no other body has the courage to raise, fur less the power to settle it, as things now stand. The President makes and unmakes ministers at his own discretion and at his own peril ; and the votes of confidence or censure passed upon his advisers by the Legislative Assembly, have no pad• tire definable or recognised effect whatever. The power of refusing supplies is doubtless in the bands of the representatives of the nation. But this in reality is little short of an open threat of revolu tion. The business of the country and the main tenance of public credit are not to be jeopardised on ordinary occasions. This is, indeed, the hydraulic hammer which the House of Commons possesees, but whose use with us has come to be adjusted by a variety of ingenious contrivances, so nicely, that it seldom does anything more terrible than crack some luckless official nut that is subjected to its resistless but regulated pressure. Every one understands amongst us that the issue d ministerial life or extinction may be safely and, effectually taken on some small point, and that de.' cided, that the reserved power of the parliamentary machine is not to be retorted to, because nobody would dream of provoking it. But in a new systems of rule like that which our neighbours have adopted, no such understanding or adaptstioa exists. The two powers of the constitution arc so needy 111 equipoise, that neither is disposed to yield to the other; and as their objects and aims are oppsui, the whole ganie has been and still is a strategse easy having for its purpose the wearying out or frighten ing of one side by the other,—the suppressed menace mutually interchanged being—a revolution. The example of the United States is ignorantly re ferred to sometimes as tending to show that the lire *Went of a republic may have the power of naming and removing ministers at will without infringing the sovereignty of parliament. Nothing can be more silly or inane than such an illus tration. The constitutional powers of the president of the Anglo-Saxon commonwealth are in certain particulars greater than those of a constitutional' king. But as compared with those which ere claimed by the President of FRANCE, they are no thing. Let a madman or a bad man try to abuse the functions ielded by WASHINGTON, ADAMS, Of JACKSON, and he would simply cover himself with ridicule and contempt. lie could no more sob vert the federal liberty of America by the perversion or evasion of legal forms than he could wheedle the west wind, or betray the Mississippi into changing its course. The chief of an intensely centralised administration, at the head of 410,000 men in arms, is in a very different position. In the United States, the senate is the real executive in matters of the greatest moment; in France there is no second chamber at all. But to pursue the contrast is SUpfeklool. The truth is, that the constitution of 1848 has left undeclared and undetermined the gravest and weightiest of practical questions—that, namely, of ministerial responsibility; and until it is settled, every palmation of the politiial frame will necessarily be a painful and dangerous throb. The great question of the day is one which the papers do not as yet dare to touch on with any degree of distinctness. It is evident that if any portion of the party of order intend to start a candidate for the presidency in opposition to Louis Napoleon, it is time for the projectors of such a plan to come to some un derstanding on the personage whom they intend to propose to the national choice. Now the decided op ponents of Louis Napoleon among the majority have been pretty distinctly defined by the recent division on M. Base's motion of censure. 1 hey consist of fusionists, regentists, and ultra-legitimists, whose , organs are respective the Assemble , e Nationale,Ordre, and Opinion Publique. Accordingly, mysterious hints appear in these newspapers as to the negotia tions on foot for ithe preparation of a common candidature. It is at the same time avowed that the present moment is too early to put forward pub licly a declared candidate; because the nation is so fickle that a premature appearance en the scene would only increase the chances of defeat. Every one knows that the personage who unites the votes of the regentists, ultra-legitimists, and fusionists against Louis Napoleon is General C'hangarnier. Of course nothing would delight the socialists so much as this candidature being started in opposition to the present President, as it would so effectually divide the party of order throughout the country, that the socialist candidate would have an excellent chance of being returned. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The committee of leaves of absence having exa mined the Ministers of Interior, Finance, and Ge neral Bedeau, vice-president of the Assembly, has decided on proposing to the Assembly to prorogue itself from the 10th August to the 20th October. The composition of the committee of permanence is beginning to occupy the attention of parlia mentary circles. This year, I believe, great care will be taken by the bulk of the majority to agree upon moderate but firm men, and to eliminate all noisy, factious alarmists. The councils-general are officially convoked for the 23th of August, and their sessions are to close on the 10th September. The council-general of the Seine, however, forms an exception, and is to sit from the 25th October to the 10th November. The councils of arrondissement arc to meet on the 10th September for the second part of their sessions, which is to last five days. The council of arron dissement of the Seine is to sit from the 16th to the 21st November. The report of M. Passy on the budget of expenses begins with presenting some considerations on pub lic works. It states that during the three years which preceded the revolution of February 1848, although the revenue of the country scarcely more than covered its ordinary expenses, as much as 510 millions of francs were allowed for extraordinary works. At present, although the evil is diminishea, not less than 70 millions, impossible to cover with the ordinary receipts fall annually to the charge of the floating debt. The reduction of several indirect taxes has deprived the treasury of 57 millions, and the new taxes will only cover 50 millions of this loss. The remission by the government of the 17 centimes has occasioned a fresh loss of 27 millions. On the other hand, several branches of the revenue have fallen off. In 1846 the indirect taxes yielded more than 827 millions; in 1847, nearly 825, notwith standing the scarcity of food. The same resources ought to have yielded, according to the present sys tem, 812 millions. Unfortunately this result is so far from any prospect of realisation that the esti mated amount, 7113 millions, greatly exceeds the pro bable receipts. Thus, while the expenses remain the same, the receipts are diminished by 78 millions; so that, taking into account the supplementary credit, the annual deficit greatly exceeds 100 millions. The total granted by the committee amounts, for the ordinary budget, to 1,384,329,562 fr. ; for the extra ordinary, 53,002,267. Hence the general total of eapenses amounts to 1,437,331,829 fr. M. A. Gouin's report on the project of the budget of receipts for 18,32, after some preliminary remarks on the financial consequences of the revolution of 1848, states, that after having reduced as much as possible the amount of ordinary expenses, the dimi nution scarcely amounted to 36 millions, while imperious necessity had introduced more than 91 millions of extraordinary expenses, which brought the expenses of 1850 to 51 millions more than 1846; and the most regrettable part of this increase were two items, one of 56,891,617 fr. increase of the permanent debt, and the other of 7 millions, representing a capital of 200 millions in the floating debt, which charges were heavier for the budget, because they were not susceptible of any economy. The receipts were not more satisfactory. After having with difficulty attained an increase of 41 millions by new and increased taxes, a sum far from sufficient to cover the expenses, they had abandoned 83 millions which the treasury had received with great exactitude every year. IVithout expressing an opinion on those reductions, so far as the interest of the tax-payers was concerned, the report maintains that they were inopportune, be cause they aggravated the financial situation, and rendered the ordinary resources insufficient to meet the ordinary expenses, even although towards the latter the whole dotation of the sinking fund was applied, and all the extraordinary public works were carried on upon credit. The committee thought it right to advert to this situation, so dangerous for the future, in the hope that the government and the tax-payers themselves would feel the necessity of putting a stop to such a state of things as soon as possible. Recapitulation : Total expenses Plus Extraordinary Budget 53,002,829 Total Receipts The sitting of the Assembly to-day . was brief and without the least importance. A string of motions, involving no interest, were disposed of. The only incident worth mention was the presentation by M. Dufaure of the report on the Lyons Railway. This document concludes with a project of law, of which the Ist article proposes that the railway shall be provisionally continued at the expense of the I state. The 2nd article provides that a credit of two millions stirling shall be opened to the Minister of Public Works, one million sterling to be charged to the accounts of 1831, and the other million to the accounts of 1852. The 3rd article authorises the Minister of Finance to inscribe on the grand livre of the public debt a sufficient quantity of rentes to make up the capital of two millions sterling. Art. 4 enacts that a sinking fund, consisting of one hundredth part of the nominal capital of the rentes inscribed, shall be added to the general sinking fund. The debate on the treaties of La Plata has been adjourned indefinitely. The motive of the adjourn ment is to obtain a modification of the treaties before they are submitted to discussion in the Assembly. The funds to-day presented no notable chant. The Fives closed at 93.40, with a rise of 3c. The Threes rose 10e., and closed at 67.23. SPAIN. MADRID, JULT 24. The Gth and Ist articles, the most important of the project of law for the settlement of the debt, have been voted this day by the Senate. 'rhe Madrid Gazette of the 20th publishes the receipts of the Spanish Customs for 1850. They show an increase of 39,263,162 really over those of 1849. The same journal gives a decree appointing the members of the Permanent Commission of the grandees of Spain, according to precedent in cases of pregnancy of the Queen. The Spanish govern ment has received the formal act of submission of the Sultan of Solo. This island will henceforth be re garded as a port of the territory of Spain, and the Sultan will be nominated by the Queen of Spain. The submission of the Sultan of Cuzamaton Min douao has also been received. He binds himself no longer to tolerate piracy in his states. The Heraido states that the Spanish government has received official notice that the cholera has ceased in the Canary Islands. GERMANY. BERLIN, Juts' 22. With respect to Danish affairs, the Zeitung for North Germany announces that the succession question has, within the last few days, been brought apparently to a settlement by a family pact which has been concluded between the chief claimants ; and that, with the exception of Prince Ferdinand, they have all agreed to renounce their claims in favour of Prince Christian of Schleswig- Holstein, Sonderburg Olucksburg, and his descendants. It is known that the King has for a considerable time made this choice, and that the choice has met is ith the approval of the Emperor of Russia, as the head of the Gottrop line. It is certain at least that the present Danish cabinet will devote their first attention to this important question, and should they be able to get it settled, as above mentioned, according to the wishes of the King, its future course of policy will be clear. BERLIN, Jt•LY 23. The Middags Fasten confirms the news I sent you yesterday. viz., that an important resolution has been adopted with respect to the succession question; and adds that the whole ministry went to Charlottenburo on Saturday even ing last to congratulate the Prince Christian of (Schleswig Holstein) Glucksburg, as heir to the throne of Denmark. M. Manteuffel, brother of the President of the Council, is to enter the cabinet (the lfxeraz Zratung announces) as Under Secretary of State. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE HERMANN. The American ocean steamer Hermann arrived off Cowes this morning from New York, on her way to Bremen. She left New York on the 12th inst., at 4 p.m. She has brought 91 passengers (41 for England), and specie to the value of 190,0001. ster ling for England and France. The Hamann passed the Franklin on the 13th, and the Washington, 1,066 miles from the Needles, on the 21st. Captain Frazier, of the revenue 'service, now sta tioned in California, has been dismissed by the Pre sident, for tyrannical conduct and violation of the act of Congress abolishing flogging. Instructions have been given to secure a uniform appraisement of imported goods at all the ports of the United States. An invitation has been extended to the President and cabinet to accompany Mr. Webster on his journey north. According to dates from the city of Mexico to the 24th of June, the Mexican government had issued a decree prohibiting all labour and scientific examina tions of the Tehuantepec mate, and ordering all Americans concerned to leave the republic. Troops had been sent out to enforce this decree. The Mem ' can Congress was in sitting, discussing the national debt. It is said that Arista had abandoned the libe rals on a bribe from the priests. The steamer United States, bound for Tehuantepec, had been refused a clearance at New Orleans by the Mexican consul. The cholera was still at Cincinnati. A terrible storm raged on the Texas coast for several days. The steamer Maria Bart was totally lost. Many houses in Texas were blown down, and the the young cotton crop is partially destroyed. Our correspondent writes as follows : NEW YORK, JULY 12. The Hermann leaves to-day, and with a good freight and passenger-hot. The New York and Bremen line is not the fastest, but it is a very popular one, and is really doing well. No dividends have been made, however, and. I do not know of any steam company that does make any. The agents appear to be the principal parties benefited. ' Wo arc noticing . the coitacies of the Galway people at the' probability of having a line of American steamers running to their port. Before this, they will have learned the fate of the scheme projected by the proprietors of the North America. The truth is, the vessel was not fit to make such a • oyagc, and there were but thirty passengers engaged. It is all fur the best that she did not attempt to make the voyage. WC have no important news from Mexico or the West Indies since Tuesday last. We hear, however, from Wash ington, that the Mexican minister is pressing the claims of his government upon ours, already amounting to over 16 millions of dollars, for reparation for losses sustained from Indian marauders, sad against whose incursions the treaty with Mexico gave a guarantee and Indemnity. In one of my late letters, I informed you that some flow ishing Ame rican towns on the frontier had been abandoned, in conse quence of the ravages committed by the native tribes. The fact is that the rightful andjust action of Congress in this and in other matters has been paralysed by the sense less conduct of the abolitionists, who, to secure to their wooly-headed compatriots some abstract privileges which the free negroes of the north do not value a pin, are compelled to overlook these treaty obligations, as well as the duties which pertain to our foreign political relations. We shall have another imbroglio without doubt, with Mexico, arising out of the treaty. It would be an easy prey at this time, if we should have any di ffi culty. But when we have as much as we can do to keep the union together, under the insiiUous attacks of fanatics and foreigners, it may be set down as a tied fact that such a power as Mexico will have to wait a while before its complaints will have even a hearing. It has been rumoured for some days past that Mr. Webster is about to resign his post as Secretary of State. We learned yesterday that the rumour is unfounded; bob it is tolerably well understood he is to leave his department for about two months, in order to regain his health. It is also said that he may make a brief visit to London and Paris during this period. We have just learned, by telegraph from Washington, that General Talcott has been found guilty of the charges preferred against hint by the Secretary of War, and dis missed from the army. This will be a severe blow to him self and his numerous friends. His offence consisted in giving out ordnance contracts illegally, and concealing the facts to avoid censure. It may be that there are circum stances worse than tills connected with the transaction. He has a son in the army, a colonel by brevet, who has distin guished himself greatly both in the Florida and Mexican WWI. As I was about closing this letter I learned the arrival of the sloop-of-war St. Louis at Baltimore, from Moate Video, bringing important intelligence (already known in England). General Urquixa, governor of Entre Rios, has declared againstee Rosa., a ; d at C rO u l i as t 7 rhderePairsageuveay have p followed the war between Brazil and Buenos Ape,. eve r y former has nearly 30,000 men in the field, on the frontiers of Uruguay, and a fleet of one frigate, two sloops, two brigs, and three steamers in the River Plate, under command of Admiral Greaten. The wiege of Monte Video, which commeneed in Feb ruary 1842, is about to be raised. Oribc placed but little , confidence in WI officers, and it was thought that the Ar gentine troops would be recalled to Buenos Ayres, and he would have to take care of his own safety. Urquisa's policy is to make the navigation of the Uruguay and Parana free to all nations. Our legislature has adjourned, after consummating the atrocious scheme of raising nine millions of dollars, in the teeth of the constitutional prohibition. As the debt is declared to be no lien on the state, and no obligation to pay it has been incurred, I presume it will not be very popular in the stock market, Money is very plentiful here just now. By the steamer of Wednesday I shall have some interest ing news from the south. NEW YORK, JULY 11. The supply of money has somewhat hummed since our last report. The demand is still active. It was more freely offered in the Street to-day, which had a good effect apes tke stocks at the second board. The banks, however, showed no disposition to extend their lines. In uncurrent money there is but little offering, and business with the brokers is uncommonly dull.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT TYNEMOUTIL—On Tuesday morning last, Mr. Watt, of Irvine, in Ayrshire, shipbuilder and shipowner, who was lodging at lynemouth for the benefit of his health, went down to the beach to bathe, and being ignorant, it is presumed, of the very dangerous character of the beach at the south end of the Cullercoats or Long Sand, was swept out to sea by the eddy, which exists there during the flowing tide, and drowned. His clothe', were found on the beach, and by this means his name was discovered. A notice, painted in legible characterstsetting forth the danger, and warning people from bathing in that spot, was erected us the rocks some years since, elevated on a timber stalk, and firmly secured by iron bars to the solid stone. Some time last season the board disappeared, shot away, most probably, in sheer wantonness by some idle blackguard, who tied it as a mark fur his rifle or fowling piece, and from that time to this It has not been thought of by any body to replace it. The stimulus of the loss of human life seems quite necessary in this comitryto insure the most ordinary precaution.—Nesocoalle Chronicle. ENGLISH AND FRENCH FILM—At a public dinner given last week at the Cutlers'-hall, Sheffield, to the Great Exhibition Local Commissioners for that town, one of these gentlemen (Mr. Overend) related the following interesting anecdote: " There was a French gentleman among the jurors, who very properly showed great zeal in protecting the interests of his countrymen. He had admitted that Shef field had made the best tiles, but he maintained that there was a house in France that could make better. lie chal lenged Sheffield to the trial, and he selected the house with which he would make the trial, and it happened to be that of which my worthy friend the mayor (Mr. Turton) is the head. Ile sent to France to have files made for the purpose. He brought over a French engineer to use them, and he challenged Messrs. Turton and Sons to the contest. Two pieces of steel were selected upon which to try the files, and they wee, fixed in two vices. Mows. Turton accepted the challenge, but they did not send to Sheffield to have any files made specially for the occasion. They merely went to a London customer whom they supplied with filen, and took files indiscriminately from his stock. They chose , a man from among the Sappers and Miners in the Exhibi tion to use their tile against the French engineer and the French files made for the trial. The two pieces of steel being fixed in the vices, the men began to work simulta neously. The Englishman, with Messrs. Turton's file, had filed the steel down to the vice before the French engineer had got one-third through. When the files were examined Veesrs. Turton's file was found to be as good as ever, while the French file was nearly worn out. The French juror they said no doubt he was beaten in that trial, but Messrs. Turton's file must have been made to cut steel alone, whereas the French tile was better adapted for iron. A new trial then teoie place upon iron, and the result was still more in favour of the English file." EARTHQUAKE AT COPIA CO.—A correspondent writing from Copiapo on the 25th May, says While I am writing this Ike house and all the city are rocking like a cradle. About 2 p.m. we had the most severe earthquake felt here since 1819 ; in fact, I expected the city would have been entirely deetroyeal4 the earth was rising and falling like the waves of the sea—everything in commotion, the windows, doors, and roofs of the houses cracking and breaking, parapets of houses thrown into the middle of the street; several excellent houses entirely destroyed, and others still standing that must be taken down, but ours has stood to the amazement of every one, owing to the repairs I had put about it two yaws since, when I bound the walls together by iron bans, and which is now being introduced throughout the place in nearly all the newly-built houses. While I am now writing, 9 p.m. the house is shaking most fearfully; we have a fresh shock every ten or fifteen minutes, but notes strong as the first.—P.S., 27th, 10 o'clock a.m...--We have had a continued earthquake throughout the night, with scarcely any intermission ; if the house cease for ten minutest° tremble, it seems only to recrldt strength, and then it commences with renewed force, shaking the walls to the very centre, but as yet we have suffered but little injury, and I hope the worst is over. But few ven tured to sleep in their houses last night; in fact there has been no sleeping at all—every one on the alert every moment. This is rather an anxious time, but our house will stand a great deal more yet." LATEST FOREIGN EXCHANGES. PARIS, JOLT U. i roe I. money. y 3 par Ceuta.
