It may be supposed from this that Engiishmen are beginning to see the counexien of American politica with those of Europe. It may be hoped that we are growing mannerly enough to ward. the Americans, at last, to take some pains to' understand their cor.stitution, as weil as their usages. Nearly all the benefit of STIV.ILY SMITICA rebuke of the Pennsylvanians about their bonds was lost from his having made two mistakes, offensive to the Americans. which half-an-hour's study of their constitution would have precluded. lie petitioned Congress abort the debts of Pennsylvania, with wh se debts Congress had no more to do than with those of Austria Or the Queen of :SIAI)Ak; : and be charged Pennsylvania with repudiatiou—of which offence she was not guilty. She did not per punctually all she ought : but she never "repudiated" her debts. The most honourable citizens of the United States were naturally indignant and hart that the censor who said such sharp things should save taken no trouble to learn those facts of the case which ougbt to be known to every schoolboy. All their schoolboys understand the outlines of the British constitution. and would be guarded against any mistake so gross as that of confounding the respons bilities of a sovereign State with those of the Federal Government. Judging by recent signs of the times, the days of such eoornful ignorance are passing away. And it is well that they should; for our in terests are becomin/ so largely involved in certain American proceedings, that it behoves every English man now really to understand the movements of our relatives on the other side of the Atlantic. The puint on which we would now fix the atten tion of all thoughtful men is the political object im mediately in view. whin the Americans annex this, that, and the other territory to their own. Amidst all the talk of glory, of spreading civilisation, of missions, of freeing oppressed colonies and nations, and so on. there is. deep down in every scheme of the sort, a solid object, of which nothing is usually said. The Upper Chamber of the American parliament— the Senate—is en anomalous institution. The House of Representatives is returned on the basis of num bers—a member for every population of so many thousand (at present somewhat above 70,000). The' Senate consists of two members from every State, that the smaller States may not be swamped by the num populous—an anomalous reason in regard to a Congress which professes to exist, not as a league of states, but as the government of the whole nation, within certain fixed limits. Mr. M u tr used to say of the Senate, " Some things look well in theory, and fail in practice. This may not be justifiable in theory ; but it works well." The slave-holding States had an enormous advan tage given to them at the outset. The electors to tem a number of representatives as the representa- tives of slaves ;—a fiction, of course. These - It of • the slaves count as whites, without haring, of course, any sights. Notwithstanding this, the increase of population in the free States is so much greater than that of the slave States, that the slave-holding inte rest would (or might) be swamped at any moment, if the Southern men did not keep up their equality in the Senate. The Senate is their sheet-anchor. But there are unsettled lands to the north-west—north of the slave line—which will, from time to time, be peopled, and raised into States. It is to provide a balance for these—to keep at least one State ahead—that the Southern men are grasping at new territory which is south enough for their pur pose. They reckoned that Texas would cut up into Ave States, giving them ten members, to set against the senators who would in a few years be sent from lowa and Wisconsin, and the neighbouring lands, sow feat tilling from Europe. Mexico is ready to their hand; and Cuba, with her train of attendant isles, will be a great prize—if they can get it. It is the greatest possible mistake to suppose that the enemies of slavery would not object to the "fair purchase" of Cuba. They do object to the idea, end they will object to the act—of paying away the national money for • new territory which virtuous citizens do not want; and for the sole pur pose of strengthening the slave-holding interest in the general government, and, consequently, throughout the American dominions. We, in England, who have made some sacrifices for the abolition of slavery, may be unable to do more than think, feel, and speak, when the Americans annex lands in the wild west; but when they threaten the dominions of an Euro pean power we may be able to act, in bar of the extension of American slavery. It I. u well to understand the bets, is ems the opportunity should be thrust upon se. " But," same will my, " surely it may be left to the Americans themselves to curb the slave-holding interest. If the free States have an equal represent ation in the one chamber, and • superior one in the other, why sot bare it to them to do what is noose eery'' Ay, why not 4 Our answer is worth the attention of them who think it uncivil and un friendly to tax "the Amerisans" with the social disuses whisk is supposed to exist in only a petiole of the Union.

The name of Mr. Barrow is well known as that of as egad senator, who bas, for a long poem of years, represented Missouri in the Senate. Mr. Beams, who is a slaveholder, and his party have falls° out; aad one charge a the party is that he is not so maims oa behalf of slavery as he used to be, a shame Ala he iedlinantly denies. In a speech made - by him at St. Louis, this last summer, be gives us his view of the attitude of the nOrth, in regard to slavery. He tells es that it is Wee and wicked to my that the free States have interfered with the south, or injured slavery in any way ; and he gees ea to show how the arta of slavery has been extesdedby the efforts of the north. He tells us that " the area of slavery has been doubled in the United States, and by the help of the tree States, during the last thirty years." He bids us remember that th e free States have been a majority during all that time; that without their vote, and a heavy vote, nothing weld have bees done. He tells, first, what new ter- Meeks have been added—such as Louisiana and !beide ,• and the t what " free soil has been made ekes se t by law.

In the present case, the press of Great Britain is the refuge of Ame rican honour and honesty. The American press dues not and caueot tell. the truth on this subje ct; and, at I present, there is no press in any oer country but ours. It rests with us to publish facts.

FRANCE. TOIRSDAY ETZNINCI. In the re-establishment of the empire all the for malities prescribed by the cwlstitution of 1842 aro to be strictly observed. The Moniteur contains the fol lowing important preamble and decree : The striking manifestation which has Just taken place throughout France in (Anus of the rtestahlishment of the empire imposes on the Prince President of the Republic the duty of convoking the Senate. The Senate will useable es the 4th November nest. If a change in the form of government should molt from its deliberations, the ;• Meth/8 eonsoftwis which it shall have adopted will he submitted to the ratification of the French people. In order to give to this great act all the authority which It ought to have, the Li gialative body will be called on to decide on the regalanty of the votes, to elamine them, and to declare the result of them. Louis Napoleon, President of the French Republic, one Selene' artieles 24 sod 31 of the Constitution, decrees : Art I. The Senate is convoked fur the ith November seat. _ _ _ Art. 2. The Minister of State is chargel with the 'mew dos of the present deem. Signed Loris NAPOLION. Countersigned ACUILLZ FOUL% !mister of State. Given at the Palace of St. Cloud, 07t: 19, 1352. This decree dispels the serious doubts which have for some time prevailed in many minds whether any fresh appeal to the people would be considered neces sary to sanction the restoration of the Bonapartist dynasty. The constitution, it is true, provides that no organic change in the form of govern ment can be effected without such an appeal. But from the stress laid in very recent addresses upon Louis Napoleon's hereditary right, from the reite rated assertions of the government journals that the people understood both in December, 1848, and De cember, 1831, that they were acclaiming an Emperor, and from the airiumption of the title of Napoleon 111., it has been !rur alised that the constitution itself would be deemed superseded by circunuitances. It has been plausibly argued that the constitution was a mars emanation from the too susceptible modesty of the heir of the Emperor, who out of his scrupulous deference to the popular will refrained from the assumption of the fall powers which it was twice the intention of the people so clothe him with, not by way of a new gift, but by way of confirmation of a right actually existing in his person. That—this in tention having sow been so signally manifested by the enthesisede aselemetions of all France that the Prbwe Uri is =spelled to declare that he will se Wier resist them—it would be idle to pee spin in motion the raeshisery at universal siege when no shadow of desk ens be entertakedsf the result.

The Emperor's progress in Croatia has come to a sudden and unexpected termination. A telegraphic despatch, dated Agram, Oct. 14, states that in con- sequence of the inundations of the river Save, which were rapidly cutting off the comm u ni ca ti ons , th e monarch h ad that morning set off for Vienna in all hut*. Another despatch, dated on the same day from Laibacb, states that the Emperor arrived in that town at mid-day, and after a luncheon started by special train for the capital. The tits de pont cn the left bank of the Save at Agram was under I water, and five principal beams of the bridge had been carried sway by the stream. The Augsburg Gazette repeats its assertion that a new customs conference is appointed to meet at Vienna, and mentions the 18th inst. as the day of its opening. The same journal has a long and still unfinished leading article in answer to the supposed quo. tin, Did the English or the Germans decide the battle of Waterloo? The writer maintains that the battle was us good as lost to the English when the Prussians came up, and expresses his wonder that Wellington, who was naturally magnanimous, should hays uniformly claimed a monopoly of the victory of Waterloo, thus defrauding Blucher of his due Aare of merit. A Berlin journal reproduces aide by side with Louis Napoleon's peace oration at Bordeaux the fol lowing passage from another oration which the same speaker delivered under less propitious circumstances before the Chamber of Peers :—" The Emperor, my nude, chose rather to part with throne and empire than to allow himself to be bound by treaty within narrow frontiere—froutiers which daily expose France to foreign distrait and menace, ai we now use. Not a day of my life passes in which his ex ample and teaching are not present to my mind." DENMARK. The President of the Yolkething annonneed to that assembly in its sitting of the 11th, that he had reosived fur distribution to its members 116 copies of a collection of diplomatic documents, being the notes which paned between Denmark, Prussia, and Aus tria, in the course of the negotiations which led to the evacuation of Holstein by the federal tmops, and the termination of the German intervention in that duchy. The Minister of Foreign Affairs accompanied the communication of the papers with a request that they might be used with discretion. Besides these, there was an original paper reed, which it was stated could not be printed, being the property of the Germanic Diet. Is the same sitting the Minister of Finance laid on the table a bill for empowering the King in council to transfer the customs frontier of the mo narchy to the Elbe, at whatever time he should deem the execution of that measure expedient. A few modifications of the tariff arc also proposed, but they us unimportant, the government intending to submit at no distant date a total revision of the existing rates of duty. ALGERIA. t ‘ ,4„ Accounts from Algeria state that on the 28th ult., a strong force was marched against the tribe of the Ouled 3fahboub, at 12 leagues to the south of Con stantin*, who had given frequent catlike o! complaint to the French by their revolts, and their refusal to pay their taxes. 'The tribe was completely surrounded. It resisted, but after a combat in which it had 60 men killed or wounded, it was entirely defeated, and several thousand oxen, sheep, and camels were asked. The loss of the French was two killed and foar wounded. CROSSING THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA.

Messrs. Chambers, dEdinburgh, published a small work about Pitesines Island, which was evidently writ ten from information derived i,pout a quarter of • cen tury singe. In it as Individual was described as having landed as a stranger is the island, and who had endeavoured to supplant John Adams, the patriarchal mutineer, who had superintended the spiritual and temporal welfare of the children of the other mutineers. This individual la spoken of in the work alluded to most disparagingly u n usurp ing and illiterate personage. It is singular that this is evidently the very person who has now arrived la England, on a mission from the island, and not only the credentials which he brings from the bleeders, sad the siesaasetssee that he has been honoured bass across the Pacific in a Queen's Itpt s Vattrestai di despatches by the English admiral in tho South Sea, prove him to be different from what ho is represented in the work in question ; but all persons who ' have bad the pleasure of seeing him in Southampton have pronounced the account to be • false nor. He is evidently 'en intelligent, kind, and openhearted man. To speak to him you would imagine him a el periatendent of some manufactory. He appears some such a man es the late John Williams, the mechanic missionary ot the South Sea. He landed at Pitcsirn's Island six months before John Adams died; he therefore knew that very remarkable man, and succeeded him es schoolmaster, minister of the tioepel, and physician to one of the meet interesting colonies the world perhaps ever saw. He describes the present descen dants of the mutineers, who form now the third and fourth generation from t►em, as remarkable for their per sonal beauty, and for their evangelical religious principles. The Sabbath is kept most reverentially. The Christian law of marriage is scrupulouely observed by them, and the mar riage ceremony is nen of great solemnity. Their chief magistrate is elected on the Ist of January of every year. All persona, male and female, shove the age of Is vote at the election. The largest amount of specie that was ever on the island was 2LO dollars vuue. This was just about the time when the intercourse first sprung up between Australia and California. With this sum two large boats were purchased. The boats, however, which the natives use ordinarily for fishing are very small, and are carried about on their shoulders. If they upset, no serious accident ensue, as the islanders are all admirable swimmers. The only animals on the island are fowlr, goats, and hogs. The place is not large enough to rear animals of greater ruagni rude. Their agricultural implements are the spade and hoe. If they could obtain • cession of Norfolk Island, it would not be long, it is believed, before they would migrate thither, ma they are anxious to grow wheat and rear her bivermas aoimsls. The inhabitants of Pitcairn's Island are now subject to bilious disorders, which their envoy thinks is owing to their subsisting so much on the sweet potato. He has left the Oriental Hotel, Southampton, ■nd proceeded to London. THE SOUTHERN WHALE FISHERY COM- PANY AND THE AUCKLAND ISLANDS. We extract the following curious chapter in colo nisation from the bydssey Monate/ Herald : When intelligence of the formation of the Southern Whale Fishery Company Ant reached Sydney. we ex pressed our opinion that the projectors of the company had committed two fatal errors ; first, in attempting to mix up colonisation in their commercial affairs ; and secendly, in fixing their main establishment at the Auckland Islands. We regret to find that our predictions have even at this early period come true, and the affairs of the company have become involved to a very serious extent. Had the company fixed their dep6t on the north shore of Putt Jackson, or at Newcastle, or at l'ort Stephens, they need not have expended above 2,0001. in the erection of a store and dwellings for their labourers, and their chief officer could have been called a superintendent, and been re munerated by a salary of 1001. or 600/. a veer; but when they undertook to:colonise, they eoesideresl it necessary to have a " Chief Commissioner, and as he was to have the chargo of the settlement, the Queen was advised to make the commissioner a Lieutenant-Governor (who of course re quired a staff), and thus it came to pass that the affairs of a company owning seven ships, which could be managed by any Sydney merchant with the aid of an extra clerk, were placed under the superintendence of his excellency Lieut.- Governor Enderby. The Auckland - Islands are as far south that the weather esooedintly tempestuous, end the winter very bitter. This rendered necessary houses of a more expensive kind than are usual in Australia, and such of our readers as know what "founding a settlement" means, will not be mirprisedilto hear that some 30,0001. has been expended in buildings and improvements at Port Rom, from which, as the settlement is to be deserted, the company will receive but very little benefit. The London shareholders of the company, not feeling satisfied with the progress of affairs, the company at their last anneal meeting resolved to send out a deputation to inquire into the state of affairs, and about four months since, Mr. Dundas, one of the directors ' and Mr. Preston, the secretary of the company, arrived at Port Ross for the purpose. They were, of course, received with all due re spect, proceeded to make their inquiries, and on the ground of general mismanagement determined to remove Mr. Enderby from office ea chief commissioner, and assume the management of the company's affairs themselves. Mr. Enderby at first declined to recognise their authority to remove him, but ultimately resigned his appointment in the company's service. And now comes the part of the transaction which gives the affair more general importance than if it only concerned the affairs of a trading company. Mr. Enderby, as Lieuteaant-Governor, by the Queen a commission, declared his intention of continuing to exercise his authority; but as every posses on the island was in the service of the MO 1111.• weld *boy him.

SERIOUS COLLISION IN TILE CHANNEL. POitTSMOCTH T r rsDAT. A collision that resulted in the loss of a very fine iron screw steam vessel, named the Metropolitan, occurred In the Channel, of Beat:hey Head, on Monday morning, at about three o'clock. The Metropolitan is a coasting vend lashing 800 teas burden and 160 horse power, and eras ■ needy new skip, mach admired for her build and the rspid she usually made between London and Glasgow. nt r t tu e e t service she was employed. She was the property of W. Sloan and Co., of Glasgow. Her captain's Micsan, who has great experience in Channel t wigs. tins, and her mew was 22 in number. Oa the morning an question the Metropolitan was =lug the par age frost London to Glasgow, laden with a general cargo, comprising hemp, oil, tallow, onion., dr.: sheen under gleam, the three lights prescribed by the Admiralty being properly exhibited. 'llse weather was thick and foggy, as it had been the whole of the preceding day. At • few minutes put 3 cm., • vessel was observed to hoist a light in the close neighbourhood of the ateomer, end rate lung up Channel towards ber. The man at the helm of the latter took, it appears, the necessary precautions to avoid s collision, Captain ll. Lean being below at the time, but he did not suoceed in doing so, the vessel in quo. Lion, the Prussian brig Zollverein, of 260 tong, CAI rain Bleacher, coming in collision, and striking the steamr on her starboard aide, just abaft the funnel. fhe brig rune stem on to the steamer, and stove In her misheard s.,le The *heck is deeeribed ILI terrific, throwing the capt.o o of both tinsels oat of their beds. The injury to the steamer was such as to cause the water to immediately find its . 1 1 into her, and in ten minutes the fires of her engines were extinguished, and the ship in a sinking state. Iler boats were got out, but the water came in so fast that no pot' lion of the cargo could be removed, the captain and clew only succeeding in saving their clothee and a few other things of trifling value. They were taken on boar d . the brig, which remained by the scene of the disaster, Cap tain M' hopieg that some steamer might make its at~ poor:ince and tow the Metropolitan into the nearest har bour. None was, however, seem, and at 6.30 3111.0 Ow „It' tropolitan went down with the whole of her cargo. Ihe Zollverain then made for Portsmouth, and arrived late on Monday night at Spithead, the wrecked crew being .ext," shore, end the brig herself going into harbour veg er "Y (Tuesday) morning for repairs. Iler damages are the loss of her figure-head and 'atwitter, her stem split, and bow sprit sprung. The Zollverein observed the li , :hts of the 1011018 T eight minutes before the collision, when she immediately heed e d her own. She was beating up Channel, bound from Dm. tol, in ballast, for Dantxic or Newcastl e , as the wind mier serve. The catastrophe is thought to have been min! accidental, arising oat of ignorance on the part of t he Prussians of the system of night lights, as earned out by the Metropolitan, in conformity with the Admiralty 11 1 * struotions. Had the helm of the steamer been put the op posit, way to what it was when the collision took place, the Prussian must have been run down, with a probable knoll. loss of life.
