Limn Deativ is not to hold the Lord Wardenehip of the Cinque Porta, ears the .11vraima Herald,— Lord listitorste is to be the man. How far the Ito-Rise Herald is justified in this statement time only can show, for though its columns are benevo lently given to the service of the present helpless ministry, that ministry are not F erateful enough to prevent the Morning - Herald from making statements with an a;r of authority which are found after wards to be groundless—as wooers the allegation respecting the American Fisheries dispute. In the absence of more poeitive information on thuln'ect, there must still be a doubt who is to s ucceed the Waterloo hero at Widmer, but we may meanwhile very fairly take the statement as it stands, and see what indications it may stem to give on the vital question of Ministerial intentions. If Lord Distils, instead of being a breeder of racehorses, a patron of betting-books, a first-rate judge of fighting cocks, and a politician who has been on all sides by turns and with no side long—if, we say, the Earl of Deane, instead of being thus distirguisheel, were re- I markable for a long coarse of open and statesman like conduct, we might hail this rumoured refusal of the Cinque Ports as a sign that he meant to do something towards the abolition, or at least reform,l of those offices the valve of which has long since trowel away. It would be pleasant to see a Pilau Minister setting an example of self denial, and when an official prize fell to his lot, say ing, " This post has lost its public importance ; it belongs to a state of society no longer existing. The pilots of Kent and Sussex should be' ander, and be licensed by, the authority which regn totes pilots in other parts of the kingdom. Dover' Castle should now be considered as a military post, I subject to military rule, and need not, in 1852, be held as a mere royal key of intercourse between England and France, in order that any successor of the Conqueror may always there be able to depart for Calais or re-land in F,ngland. Writs intended for persons within the bounds of the Cinque Ports may much better issue and be served as writs directed to other portiere of the king dom are, and since the privileges of Alum and the " rules" of the Queens Bench have for the simplification of legal arrangements and the general benefit of the community been reformed, so let the Cinque Ports be set in order : I, F.arl of DERBY, with my princely private fortune, do not want Cinque Port money; and I, Prime Minister of England, do not nerd the honour to be thrived from a %Var. denship." If the PREMIER would treat the Cinque Forts sinecure in this spirit, we might hope something from his government; but he does not speak about the waifs and strays that fall to him in any such temper: on the contrary, his conduct in reference to the other offices made vacant by the death of the Duke of WELLINGTON affords no hope of his stepping in advance of the narrow views and rickety policy which have hitherto characterised his tenure of office. In proof of this, we have only to remember what was done only the other day with the Conetableship of the Tower of London. Never wasa greater opening offered than in that case for proper adaptation of an ancient office to the changes of the times. In the days of litensan 111., the Monarch of England might. for some purposes, want a (*astable of the Tower, but such an officer is—in plain English--a mere swindle in the days of Queen VIt;TORIA. The Tower may be priceless as an antique, and valuable as a fortress; but neither as a mediaeval curiosity nor as a post of military strength is it needful to persist in the costly mummery of an absent constable with de. pates to w alk in procession with state keys. During the life of the Duke of WELLINGTON It was fully un derstood thst the abuses in the Tower would be re moved the very first time the Canetableship became vacant. But the Duke died, and the Earl of DEBBY gave this portion of the n•*l.t thereby accruing to Lord Con mianear.. With what reason, then, can we hope that the change announced by the Morning Herald in the occupancy of the Cinque Ports has anything to do with intended reforms in their ancient jurisdiction. Not a sin will be atoned for—no semblance of improvement will be made. IValmer Castle, with all the rights, privileges, powers, perquimites, and im munities attaching to its proprietor for the time being, will assuredly be handed over to the Duke's successor oa the coast of Kent. just as the similar collection--keys and all—were turned over on Tower hill to Lord COMBER/lIRE. In their unreformed condition the Cinque Ports, like the Tower, will be all the more profitable gift—all the better worth taking—by the lucky man for whom they are in tended. n. supporter of the ministry declares Lord DALIIOVRIL to ha the happy man. Why ? Why should the present Governor-General of India be selected ? We said a fortnight ago, when criticising the Burmese war, that the Governor-General's visit to Rangoon would not assist him in keeping the lucrative post he desires still longer to retain. India was wanted by Earl DERBY " for some powerful sup porter, or —what is more probable—to buy off some formidable and needy opponent." Haa Lard DERBY now made arrangements for giving the Governor- Generalship to that mum powerful foe ?—and does be intend to gild Lord DALIIOVSIE'S rseall with the gift of the Cinque Porte ?—hoping, also, to get in this way new adherents in the House of Peers? Is it possible that a political opponent who was expected to enter the field as a candidate for the Chancelloe ship of Oxford may be going to India! The Gover nor-Generalship has often fallen to the lot of noble men to whom 36,0001. a-year might be serviceable. The peerage has many such men at this moment, and one at leut —an excellent man of business—who bears the title of Duke. Is India to have a Peelite Few dwellers in this metropolis require to be in- formed of the enormous advantages that were con ferred upon its commerce by the construction—at a cost of more than 20 millions sterling—of those vast docks which at once adorn and enlarge to so great an extent the port of London. Hut there are also few, especially of those whose c.xperience does not date back to the first decades of the century, who are suf. ficiently aware that the results of those spler.did establishments have redounded not merely to the ad vantage of commerce, but to the total change and signal improvement in the commercial habitudes of the metropolis, and consequently of the country at large. It is not only to the cly.k system that we owe the economy of time, and space, and money, which has rendered it poesike to carry on the enormous trade of London within the narrow limits to which it was necessarily circumscribed; or that • ten eargoes can be landed and sold with less trouble sad dose than it took formerly to transfer one from the hold of the ship in which it was imported to the bands of the purchasers hy whom it was consumed; but the entire system of do:nestie life, and business habits, the whole phyiipee aid tr.,•rgle of the corn• menial public has undergone a complete and most happy revolution. The London merchant—untke his predecessor io the days of the STU MTV, or ev , n .1 the Geonors— may live away front the crowded lanes of the City; may dispense with huge store-homes and their costly oral of porters, watchmen, and custodians; may spare himself the trouble of 10-king aft e r th e safe keeping of his rich comtriodities, and the loss attending their conveyance, stou age, sod the inevitable deterio ration incurred during these deli•-ste processes, may escape nine-tenths of the aniirl r.nee still inflicted by the semi-barharous Custom•Loo,ef nualiflee , tom' whole of the risk attending the chances of fire and robbery on his own premises, and yet transact his business with perfect ease and regularity. His Roods are landed at the dock wharf and saki, stewed a the dock warehouse. There they an preserved. registeeed, and guarded. kept under • WA which exonerate* him from the ;Alm a! of the inty‘to ent until the moment when they are emitted C v market, and at the same thus t • to be capable of ready wee and , idea the part of the owner qa. his dal rt.. company takes all the troubte his The trader need not even see the goods in which he deals. All that he wants is the receipt or " warrant," which, after the merchandise has been properly scheduled as to quantity and "sampled" as to quality, is put into his hands, whence it passes by simple endorsement Into those of all subsequent holders until it is really de manded by its ultimate consumer. Instead, there fore, of transmitting cumbrous loads of commodities hither and thither, at Yost damage and expense, they rest quietly in the dock warehouses until required for use. Nothing is transmitted but the dock war rant; by which the bulkiest properties are conveyed in a pocket-book and transferred by a signature. And while these warrants constitute a valuable species of mercantile currency, saving many a million of "circulating medium," their use has ex tended the basis of credit and fostered the spirit of honourable dealing for which the British merchant has long been so happily distinguished. Some years since the Irish endeavoured to copy this system ; but the imitation was tried under special circumstances, and worked out imperfectly and in a hurry. No wonder, therefore, that it did not succeed. The motive that prompted the at tempt was indeed occasional, and, so to say, unna tural: it was not to fulfil the requirements of an extraordinary commerce, but to stave off tho distress arising from paralysis and stagnation. When con sumption almost disappeared after the February Revo lotion, the provisional government in Paris endeavo3red to serve the tradesmen, when goods were no longer saleable, by the establishment of public ware houses. A decree was accordingly issued on the 21st of March, 1548, for the construction of national magazines, and the organisation of a kind of bastard system of " warrants. Goods lodged in these pub lic were weighed, docketed, and stowed ; a valuation affixed to them, according to the oen tralising system of the country, by some national or' municipal functionary; and a receipt or warrant given to the owner. This receipt could be trans ferred by endorsement, and if placed in the hand of any other party, constituted an effectual lien upon the property to the extent of whatever loan he may have granted on its credit. Attached to a bill of exchange. the receipt was also accepted in lieu of a second signature by the national discount banks, and of a third signature by the Bank of France. Yet notwithstanding the good intentions of the legis lature, these warrants never served their intended pur pose. The trade of Paris would not recognise them—for the reason, among others, t hat at the moment it did not want them. Distress alone, of the severest though temporary character, gave them a momentary cur rency ; but after all the " national warehouses" never succeeded in becoming anything better than se many commercial pawnshops. The attempt is now renewed under different auspices, and a decree has just been issued authorising the' establishment of a great dock company in Paris. In borrowing this term from England, the French have shown their usual carelessness for the original, and' especially the foreign signification of words. In stead of limiting its meaning to the depository for water-borne commodities, they have applied it to a system of warehouses to be erected far away from the Seine, and intended chiefly for the accommoda tion of a rapidly increasing railway traffic. How ever, we need not quarrel about syllables. Our lively neighbours are entitled to translate our com mercial phrases quite as freely as we do their names. Two enterprises of • similar nature, but on a very limited scale, already exist in Paris. At the emboid- Avec of the St. Martin's Canal, and on the Batig notice, public warehouses have been standing for some years past; but the former is intended, and applicable only, for the goods brought by the canal ; the latter, for the traffic on the Havre Railway. The new dock company is to absorb their pre existing establishments, to construct enormous build ings of its own, and to supersede a system of dock warrants, which they have never attempted to organise. The central warehouses are to be erected in the Place de l'Europe, a locality chosen AS being sufficiently near to the chief centres of boil nems,—to close vicinity to the common termini of the Rouen, Havre, and Western Railroads—and con nected, by the railway de Ceitunre, with all the routes of communication that terminate in the capital. The general organisation, says the Cbteetihrtionnel, is not only to afford great advantages to commerce in all its requirements for importation, consumptimand transit, but is to offer that unquestionable security which is necessary, in order to familiarise the public with the system of warrants. France, it adds, is now in her turn to have her docks as well as Eng land, and will enjoy no small advantage in being able to profit by the forty years' experience which has carried the English establishments to that pitch of perfection by which they are now characterised. May they prosper! Call it jealousy, rivalry, or what not—there is no e ff ort made for the develop ment of French commerce—no step taken to place France more on an equality with England in the height and plenitude of its commercial businese—that does not deserve our i sympathy: nay more, that does not re aet upon ourselves n an increase of our own wealth and security. The prosperity of the two countries is indissolubly bound up together. Every enhancement of their internal resources makes them better customers and better friends to one another. Every new facility afforded to trade—every augmen tation in the products of manufacture that either of them may acquire adds one more impulse to the pro sperity of both, and ties one more thread in that great bond of union which maintains them in peace with each other, and, in so doing, preserves the peace of the world. Whilst we lament the political thral dom of France, and denounce her enslaver, we can never fail to sympathise with her social and com mercial improvements. DEATH OF ME.

His Highness is in good health. Toulouse. Oct. 4, 3 p.m. The Prince President has just arrived. He was received with the greatest enthusiasm, and with cries a thousand times repeated of " Vies PEnspereer !" Account' received to-day from Toulouse sta'c that this morning at eight o'clock the Prince wont on horseback with a brilliant staff to visit the field of the battle of Toulouse. Several regimentahad taken up their positions on the ground at an early hour, and on the arrival of the President a sham fight, intended to represent the battle, was executed by the troop.. The wholesale trade in Paris has during the last week been marked by great improvement, more pur chasers having appeared in the market than for some time t • but manufacturers complain that, al thea their sales are extensive, their profits are s in consequence of the high price of the w Isa ias ra material. The accounts from the manufacturing dis tricts are of a satisfactory character. At Mulhouse there is a good demand for woollen cloths and worsted. At Rouen cotton goods, which were neg lected a fortnight since, are again more firm. The rise on raw cotton in Havre hu produced an influ ence on the Rouen market. Wool is in good de mand, particularly for good ordinary quality, with out any rise in price. The Paris corn market was more quiet last week, and the price of wheat appeared to decline. The markets in the northern departments, on the contrary, continue re markably firm, and in the east there has been a i further nee. The markets in the west are stationary. At Lyons and in the south wheat is looking up. It is evident from the samples of new wheat which have been offered for sale, that there is an enormous difference in the quality of the last crop. At Stras burg, for instance, new wheat was sold so low as llf. 23e. the hectolitre, whilst other samples brought 23t in the same market. The late cattle fain have been well attended, and ht cattle have been sold at remunerating price!. Mutton and veal have fallen in price in the Paris markets. Letters from the southern departments state that raw silk is in good demand, and the prior.' firm. The general 1 course is from 52L to 68f. the kilogramme, according I to the number. Accounts received at Lyons from the United States, state that the old stock of French goods in the American markets is now disposed of with advantage, and that fresh orders may be shortly expected. The vintage has been progressing through out France during the last week, and the fine weather experienced in the Bordelaie has produced a more satisfactory opinion with regard to the approach ing vintage. It is still feared that, however the quality of the wine maybe improved, the quantity will be deficient. The wines of last year are in de mand at Bordeaux at a rise of from 10 to 15 per cent., according to the quality. In the neighbour hood of Pesenu all the good wines are exhausted. At Nantes the quality of the present vintage will be linferier, and the price of the wines of 1832 will be low, whilst old wines will be scarce and deer. The quality of the Champagne wines will, it is thought, be good—thanks to the few fine days—but the quan tity will be deficient. The wine growers in Bur gundy are dissatisfied both as to the quantity and quality of the present vintage. At the Boone the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. rose 40c., elating at 105.40 ; the Three per Cents, fell 50., and closed at 78.70.

In the sitting of the Royal Court of Fl-renec of the 25th ult.. Oucrrani continued his deli tiro.. Ho denied hawing come to en understanding with the Florence Club, on the night of Feb. 7, IN-39, e.. 11 corning what was to be done under the circuMOILLICUI. Hi statement of facts was as follows:-- Os the Bth, Mordini, whom 0 i did not know, was president of the club. The news of the Grand Duke's de parturs from Siena was et once communicated by tha ministers to Dr. Cosimo Venni, then President of the Chamber of Deputies, who proposed to convoke the chamber ' and bold a private sitting. Gummi opposed this course as calculated to mislead the public as to the real stale of affairs, whereas it would be brat to let them know the truth at once ; the more so, as the Grand Duke hal re commended the President of the Cabinet to give the greatest publicity to his letters. The chamber was therefore convoked me equal ; the troops were confined to their barracks, the Civil guard usembled, and every other measure taken to ensure public. tranquillity. The ehsmber was defended by 60 men of the civic guard, under the cont ented of a captain, little more than the usual number ; malty deputies came to the sitting, Dr. Vann( took the chair, Nlontanelli ascended the tribune, related that the Grand Duke left Siena without announcing where he wsq ening, and rend the two letters lett by his highness, and delivered to Montanelli by the director of the post-offlce. At this moment a handful cf miscreants (" acherani" was the word used by Oirerreui), headed by Nicolini, pene 'Mai into the hall. Nicolini delivered the plehnocite wet as!'

But hers a sew mob invaded the house, uttering temultuous miss. Gast falai then, ad bevies/ the means of eapelliog the intruders by fermi, exclaimed : Let the people guard the people!' thereby meaning that thaws who bad already been per suaded by his arguments sheeld assist blot is persuading the others. Order wu restovel, tie sitting resumed, and the emotion of a provisional goverument, consisting of Ouerraui, Montanelli, and Msuori, voted by the chamber. Front these statements Uuerrazzl deduced in his defence : lit, that he was not, as bad been said, an accomplice of Nicolini, since ho did all that was in his power to oppose him on that occasion; 2nd, that the vote of the Chamber was free, seeing that many remained there of their own free will, and others stayed away, without the slightest coercion in either ease. He observed amung other things that when there was a tumult in the public square, he alone wont to stop the current of popular fury, but that no employe , attempted to give him the slightest moist sow He contended that he accepted the danger ous post entrusted to his bands by the Chamber, be cause public safuty required it ; that he did it to save the lives and property of many citizens, and that had he refused, the state would have fallen into the hands of men like Nicolini.—After this defence the Court adjourned to the 28th ult. BELGIUM. The Irdependance Bags of yesterday says:— " M. H. do Brouckere, summoned yesterday to the Palace, was received at 2 o'clock by the King. It was stated that at the close of tho conference, which was of very long duration, NI. de Brouckere, without overlooking the difficulties of the situation, con sented to employ himself in the composition of a cabinet. We learn that M. Firmin Itogier has asked the King to accept his resignation of the mission to Paris." - The Ofilogns Gazette states that MM. LiedM and Lectern will be members of the new ministry. EGYPT AND TURKEY. A correspondence from Bcyrout of the 14th ult., states that the Druses had taken up a strong position, and were in possession of arms and ammunition. The camp near Tel-el• Fares was fortified. On the 10th ult. three battalions of regular troops received orders to march on Damascus in all haste. Great fermentation prevailed in the districts of Garza, Naplouze, and Latakia. Tho pachalic of Bagdad was in a state of anarchy, and numerous hordes of Arabs descending from the mountains pillaged the caravans. The Journal des Debuts contains the following summary of intelligence : We have received accounts from Alexandria to the 23rd ult. The Egyptian government had just addressed to the consulsgeneral at Alexandria, through Rdhcm-Pacha, Mi nister of Foreign Affairs, a circular, which has caused con adorable emotion amongst oil the European commerce in the place. This circular, which is dated the 16th aft., states in substance that the pries of corn being much higher at Cairo than at Alexandria, to which place it is carried in large quantities for exportation, the Vice• roy, in his paternal solicitude for his subjects in the cspital, has decided that henceforth all boats laden with wheat, owning from Upper Forypt, shall be stopped and compelled to unload at Boulsq, and there sell their ....goes for consumption. The circular adds that it was hoped that this measure would receive the unanimous approbation of the consular body, whose co operation the Egyptian government invoked in order to secure its strict execution. It is easy to conceive what complaints were raised against this inseam when it was made known at Alexandria. Ins fact, the commercial ad vice. had for some time given reason to suppose that the harvest in Europe would be very inferior to that of former years, sad seemly sufficient in many points for local con sumption. This was expected to he the case more parti• cuter'' , in Greet Britain, where a deficit of a fifth was looked for. This state of things had led to • large amount of business at Alexandria, from whence about 1,560,000 hectolitres of corn hod hero exported in 1851, and • number of vessels had been collected together at that port in order to ship the corn which was shortly expected to ar rive from the interior. In the midst of all these transac tions comes the circular above mentioned. On the very day the circular arrived at Alexandria the government sold 12,000 srdebs of wheat (18,000 hectolitres), with an enor mous rise in price, in consequenes of the pule caused by the sew measure. This fact pram that there bao fear of any scarcity in Egypt, and in fact the last harvest has been a most abundant one.

They ma pimae themselves whether they give the slaves any maim, and if they ask for any, they eon flog them for doing so; they have no alternative lut to submit. Some of the deveholders who have no manufactories will give their dame a passport to week elsewhere, but they must pay him so sea per year for that privilege, and he can call them at any mement he may think proper, and they are bound to obey. The food for the slaves is black bread and salt, with Loup three times a der ; but I have been told that the oill• 0i33, or the men who are:pieced over them, will eat the beef and skim the fat from the top of the soup, and the slaves dare sot complain. If you go into a shop and ask the price of any article you may wish to purchase, they will ask via three times as much as they intend to take, and If yes are a foreigner, they will cheat you if they can. I come now to the workpeople. It is the custom here to week day and night. I have had as opportunity of seeing ti French and Belgian workpeople, but I must say that on,: Russian will do as much work in the same time as any two of the abovemiestioned ceentriee.

[CAN RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND. (Prom the Nett nee Mersa) We need net remind our readers that the point in dispute in the fishery baldness is, whether the marine league secured to the British eoloniata la to be accounted from the headlands or the shores of " bays." Thanks to the dis emotions which have appeared in print on the subject, every body knows that Iteitain, sticking to the letter of the treaty of 1818, captured ear fishermen when they approached within three miles of the entrance of the colonial bays ; while Mr. Webster claimed a more liberal construction of the treaty, and argued that the three miles should be measured from the shore, Irrespectively of indentations. It is also tolerably well known by this time that the news of the settlement of the dispute was premature, and that matters are es *talus quo Cafe edition. Though the despatches received from Mr. Lawrence at Washing• ton by the last steamer aver that the difficulty has been arranged the very same vessel brought de spatches from Earl Mal'oesbury to Mr. Crompton, stating that the negotiation has not advanced a single step. We have reason to believe that Earl Malnseshory is quite ready to accede to Mr. Webster's demands; but he will find a little hitch in the records of the Colonial-office. Some 20 years ago, the fishermen of the Bahamas were in the habit of catching turtle on the coast of Florida. They did not fie), within &marine league of the shore, but had no scruples at pursuing their trade on the reefs within the bays. The residents of Florida complained ; and, on their representa tions, Governor Wescott sustained the view that it was illegal for the Bahama fishermen to catch turtle within three miles of the outside reefs or headlands. On appeal to Washington, this iaterpietation of the treaty was upheld by the cabinet of General Jaclon. How will the negotiators get over this precedent 2 Again, Earl Maletesbury has three distinct interests to conciliate—the commercial interest in Bntain, which would sooner give up the fisheries, cod, mackerel, and all the other denizens of the deep, than run the risk of a war with this country ; the theoretical politicians of the colonies, who insist on the protection of rights which they undoubtedly possess, and which this very Lord Malmeabury promised, only a few weeks ago, to confirm and increase ; and, finally, the fishermen and other inhabitants of the seashore of Nova Scotia and the British colonies, who, strange though it ap pear, are directly interested in the adoption of the American interpretation of the treaty. For, of the vessels which have been seized for infringing the colonial monopoly, it is well known that a large proportion were really manned and sailed by colonists, to whom their cargoes belonged, and who carried on the fishery in American bottoms in order to evade the navigation laws and claim the bounties allowed by this country. Nor were bona fide trespaasers lens bene ficial to the settlers on the coast. The tniffic—the de mewl for outfit and supplies which they created—is an object to the village. scattered along the shore. If the British Foreign Secretary, adhering to precedent, refuses to abate his original pretensions, the merchants and the mass of the English people will agitate till they drive his party from power; and while the petty politicians of Fredericton and Halifax plume themselves on their victory, the fishing population of the colonies will be well nigh ruined. If, on the other hand, he yields to Mr. Webster, Sir John Pakington's despatch to the colonial governors will stultify him. Other questions will, doubtless, combine with this one, and complicate the negotiation. Canada has now been many yeses a petitioner for reciprocity ; from humble re quests she has poised to loud threats. She will, if we are , to believe her ministry, close her canals, impose dilferen- ' tial duties ' and resort to a variety of terrible measures to extinguish this country, if we do not grant this long sought for boon. It is not improbable that this subject will Ise espy a leading place in the negotiations respecting the fishery dispute. Lord Malmesbury will demand that re ciprocity be granted to the colonies, in exchange for the loss of their cod. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, on whom the loss would fall, would be as clamorous as the manufacturing interest of this country, which would, pro bably, not participate in the exchange; but Canada, and a large section of the north, would be delighted with the bargain. Again, if a new treaty between the States and Britain be on the 'Apia, the shipping interest will insist on some modification of the existing law. Under the last enact ment-12 & 13 Viet., cap. 29—American vessels can ply from Britain to Australia ; the consequence of which that the trade from that important colony is falling, in a great measure, into the hands of the owners of our clippers. On the other hand, British ships cannot sail between Cali fornia and any of the Atlantic ports of the States. A memo rial is now being extensively circulated among the chip. owners in the United Kingdom praying for relief in this unequal contest ; it will an difficult for an avowedly pro tectionist government to disregard the prayer. According to the strict principles of free-trade, of course the reply ought to be, that the consumer in England will send for his wool and his gold in the ship, which sail the cheapest and the fastest—but Lord Malmesbnry, we must recollect, is deaf to Smith and M'Culloch. Though ha dare not raise the price of the poor man's loaf, he might possibly contemplate a new commercial enactment, by which the traffic between Liverpool and Sydney would be declared to be • branch of the coasting trade. If Sir James Graham would not swallow this pill, the Foreign Secretary would he compelled to turn to Mr. Webster, and solicit the same pri vileges for British ships plying between American ports as the new navigation law in England grants to our vessels. If the American cabinet were willing to grant these twol bagatelles—reciprocity with the colonies, and the removal of restrictions upon British bottoms—there is very little doubt that Lord Malmesbury, or his successor, would gladly surrender the fisheries, and throw • host of minor privileges into the bargain ; but the negotiation is by no means an easy one. We foresee difficulties on every side—obst ac les springing up in the path of 1 the diplomatists at every turn—e bjections in the mouths of influential parties of both countries. We doubt, or rather we feel convinced, that Lord Malmesbury is not the man to overcome them on the side of Britain. He should be cer tain to get the better bargain if he were pitted against any one but Mr. Webster. _ It is more than likely that the negotiations will come to no result in their hands. In a few months new ntim'nistra time will be in power In both eountries. It will devolve upon the new cabinet in this country, on one side, and the whig-conservative ministry in England on the other, to shape a 14W treaty out of the elements which tl.e strides of commercial progress have brought to light, including also the diaculties arising in Nicaragua, Mesieo, and elsewhere. The new conditions of trade, created by the discoveries of gold in Australia and California, require that the columer cial relations between the two greatest nations in the world should be thoroughly remodelled. A NEW STEAM CONDENSER. A correspondent of the New York Courier and btquiror writes to that jottmal: " As this is eensitatically the age of steam power, and of progress in its use, whatever relates to this subject must possess especial interest. The object of this commu nication is, to gate through the columns of your salaeble paper, that 'here is now in full and successful operation, at the North Point Foundry and Machine-shop in Jersey City, a "condenser," invented by Mr. J. Miller, lately of New Orleans, which is calculated to exercise a moat powerful in- flumes on the employment of steam power. This condenser is so constructed as to convert the steam into water, return it to boilers undiminished, and thus, when they are once filled with pure water, they will continue to operate fora week or more without adding one additional drop of water to that already in the boiler. A steamer could readily carry, in • few hogsheads, an ample supply of fresh water to last across the Atlantic Osman, or, if salt water wets used, it would be immediately converted into fresh by the conden sation of the strum, and very trifling precipitation of salt or other impurity would take place, while under the existing system the broilers are speedily choked up or burnt out, and all the pipes are in danger of filling and becoming foul, and, to this cause alone, nine-tenths of the ste am b oat explosions and other accidents are attributable. It has been ascertained, from actual experiment, that a steam engine, with this condenser attached, will produce equal power, at • saving of more than one-third of the fuel. By this attachment it turns the high pressure engine into a low pressure, and reducll the great unwieldly ter pump now in use to one-tenth its size. This ia a great security against danger or derangement of the machinery. Any wet of engine can be used for the attachment of this condenser. Another essential advantage is, that the engine and machinery are reduced in bulk at the top, and the main weight can he placed nearer the bottom of the ship, thus increasing the fiteedine 4 a of its motion, and its safety in rough weather. I understand that one o f th ese con densers is also in complete operation at Pittsburg, and has attracted the favourable noticeof many of the most experienced steam boat builders and engineers. Proposals have been made to put it on several of the best boats running on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and will, no doubt, be WOO carried ' into effect. Arrangements are also in progress to put it on several of the ocean steamers in this city. It is regarded by the best judges as one of the most valuable improvements of the day, sodas esstain to save the lives of thousands who travel on steam-beats and steam-vessels. I visited this engine end condenser at Jersey city, yesterday, in corn. pony with several intelligent and experienced gentlemen, nod witnessed its operation. Nothing could be more simple and beautiful. I was assured by the tenders and workmen that it had been in constant use for nearly nine months, and that it had nev e r failed to perform satisfacto rily, and gave evidence that it was • thorough and trium- ' pliant attainment of the great drai.,,ralsons, of clearing the water of all impurities, and thus protecting the boilers and engines from the imminent peril of explosions, collapses, and accidents, such as have so oltened tilled oar land with mourning."
