COUNTV.—MtituEn.—The annual fair of Bruins, in this county, was, until late years, notorious for scenes of bloodshed, riot, and dissipation—faction tights were of frequent nccurreuee, and many lives were lint. Happily, since the temperance movement and the famine, such disgraceful scenes have almost totally disappeared, and a riot at Drama fair was be; to be looked upon as a I nue city until Monday last, when unhappily a young man I named Michael Phelan, when entering the fair green, was I set upon and murdered with etones and stick+. The night previous to the fair the green is frequented by idle and ells- solute persona; tents are erected and tippling is indulged in. About five o'clock iu the monting, Phelan, on enteriug the green, was met by a crowd of persona who had passed the night there. One of them named 3PLoughlin, with whom he had previously some dispute, challenged him to fight. Phelan declined, when he was attacked by 3PLoughlin and several others, who knocked him down and Imit hint severely. Ile was removed to an orchard-house in the village, and from thence conveyed to his residence at Ballylaman, where he was attended by Dr. ISPArtleur, of Shinroue. lie languished until Friday List, when he died from the injuries he re ceived. Soon atter the attack M•Loughlin and two others, named Marshall and Halloran, were apprehended by the police. Saturday an inquest was held by B. Toy ISlidglev, Esq., coroner, assisted by the local magistrates. The three persons accused were present. Several witnesses were tin stained, and, after a lengthened inquiry, the jury retuned 3 yrrliet of " Wilful Murder" against John M'Loughlin, Thomas Marshall, Patrick llalloraa, and John Marshall. The coroner issued his warrant for the apprehension if the latter, and committed the other three to the county gaol of Tullaniore to abide their trial at the ensuing assizes. FRACAS BE - mi.:EN 3111.rranv AND POLICE.—An affray likely to be attended with very unpleasant come. queues, took place at Ilanagher on Friday evening last, ith some policemen, and a detachment of the lith ment quartered there. It appears that two policemen were in a shoemaker's shop, when some drunken soldiers en tered, who quarrelled with the police and struck them. The soldiers were put out of the house, when they attacked other police who were on market duty. Butte parties boxed each other well. While so engaged, a pervoil named Molloy, most improperly went to the military barracks, and falsely reported that the police had stabbed a soldier. On hearing which the soldiers became enraged, rushed out of barracks with drawn bayonets in their hands, and run through the streets to the terror of the inhabitants, shouting for " h—y Peelers." The entire company, in cluding the guard, with three or four exceptions, left their i baerasivs. On seeing this overwhelmin force approaelt the police fled in all directions and conee &d themselves; the soldiers pursued one policeman into a field, they knocked him down, kicked him while down on tile head and body, and deprived hint of his carbine and bayonet. In all pro bability the man would have been murdered hut for the timely arrival of Head Constable Campion with a party of police, and the colour-sergeant of the company, who in duced the soldiers to return to their barracks. The officers of the detachment we re all unfortunately absent at the time, having in the morning gone down the river Shannon it few miles to a regatta at rurtutmet. Saturday, Captain Pollock, held a private inquiry into the circum stances of the ease, hut the result has not transpired. The tenth half-yearly meeting of this cotnpany took place yesterday, at Gray's-inn Coffee-house, Holborn. The chair was taken at h ilf-joest one, b 7 Sir. M. FUWILF4.: From the statement of actoonts distnbuted amongst the shareholders prior to the meeting, it appeared that the amount capentled from the sth of February to the 21st of Jule iu the prevent year was 17,200/. 2s. 44., making the total expenditure from the commencement. 1'n0 6191 .r. 44 . The credit side gave 34;,:C.H.V. 10s. 11. as the amount of the half-scar's receipts ; and there was a balance of b,491/. I 1.. Ital. in favour of the company. The principal item. of expenditure within the half-year were an advance to the contractors, Veto and Iletts, of 30,2751. 3s. ; to Messrs. Heywood, Kennard, and Company, in pit re payment of loan, 5,0001. ; and to engineers for professional services, 1,700/. The reports of the directors and the engineers were read by the secretary and solicitor, Mr. Wing. The fernier was a follows " Your directors refer to the statement of receipts and payments from the sth day of February last to the 21st ultimo, which is appended to this report, and has been duly audited. Your directois have the gratification to report that the works are progre,sing very tat curably. fhe engin-er''s report is appended hereto. It will be seen front the balance that the contractors have been paid since the last meeting a !UM or about 36,036/. Ils., and that the loan to Messrs. Heywood and Co. has been reduced by 5,000/. The directors hope their financial statement will be satis factory to the shareholders, particularly when it is remora- Defect that but one call has been made payable during that period. Your director, n commend that a salary of 2001. be paid to the secretary, exclusive of travelling expenses; that a salary of 3001. lie paid to the joint solicitors, likewise ex clusive of travelling expenses and payments out of locket; and that bbl. be paid annually to each auditor, to include their travelling expenses. Your directors have the pleasure to inform the shareholders that since the last meeting they have come to an amicable arrangement with the Eau Brink Commissioners. Your directors have appointed John Walbanke Chihlers, Esq., M.P., John Fryer, Esq., and Henry Wilson, Esq. directors, in the room of Joseph brown Wilk., Esq., dect aseil; Charles Muriel, Esq., dis qualified, :end since deceased; anti Joseph Wilson, Esq., deceased." TNGINETAS RETOILT. Since our half-yearly r, port to you of the 26th of Feb. last the works ter making the two new cuts or eh:ulnas fur the diversion of the River Ouse have been continued by the contractors Heuer,. Pete and Iletts, as fast as circumstances will permit : and up to the present time 1,400,000 cubic yards of earth have been removed from the upper cut nearest to Lynn, a very large portion of which has been excavated to the depth of one foot below the zero mark, or within 11 feet of the intended bottom, and the remain& r is proceeding with considerable activity, in that there is no doubt but that it will be completed within the time stipulated by the contract. In addition to the above, the four sluices for draining the :itljacent lands on each ride of the cut, and included in the contract, are com pleted with the exception of the coping, the stone for which Is on the ground ; and this will be completed in about a month. Preparations are also being made for the upper slam or bank across the old channel, near the town of Lynn. A new road has been for the farmstead, in place of the one taken away by the works, according to the terms of the agreement between the late Lord G. Dentincles trustees and the company. This road will also serve to communi cate with the lands of the company and the town of Lynn; lo that, as regards the progress of the works, everything may be considered iu a satisfactory state.—Signed for self and [loaner STEPHEN:ION, Joins RENNIE." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that another call would be made within a short period. After some conversation, in which the propriety of en forcing the payment of calls was strongly urged, a highly sati4attory account was given of the progress of the works and the value of the.lands now being reclaimed, as evidenced by the fact that the Eau Brink commissioners bad lately sold alarm. tract of reclaimed lands of a much inferior quality for 40,000 , ., being at the rate of 361. per acre. The report was adopted, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. TILE GRfar EXIIIIIITION.—The amount taken at the doors ve,terday was 2,8261. 195., the number of visitors being .15,35 i. BRUTAL MURDER AT M INCIIKSTER.—Iames Mae =aura was yesterday committed for trial at the Liverpool mixes, by the coroner for the borough of Manchester, Mr. lierford, for the murder of a loon' man named Henry Ellis, by beating him on the head with a hanuner. About 10 o'clock on the night of Saturday, the Ilth ult., the deceased was iu a beer-house in Queen-street, Moline, in company with the accused and several others. The evidence as to the cause of the fatal attack was not very plaiu, but it seemed that Elba, who was in liquor had done something to Macii.mara, who is a shoemaker, uud the latter thereupon went home and got one of his hammers, put it in his pocket, and repaired to the beer-house again. Ellis was still present, and on Mac minima making his appearance a second time he held out his hand, and the usual sign of amity and friendship passed be tween them. In a few minutes afterwards, however, on their leaving the house together, Macimmara tripped his victim up, and struck him while on the ground with the sharp end of his hammer, inflicting a terrible wound on the back of the bead, and ran off, under pretence of punishing a woman who had interfered. The wounds of the deceased were attended to, first by a druggist, and subsequently at the Royal Infirmary, where he eventually died on Sunday last. A post-mortem examination snowed that the skull was fractured, and that a small abscess was formed at the base of the brain, the inflammation attending which ended in death. At the coroner's inquest there was the usual re sumption of the dispute between that official and the magis trates, the former having got the prisoner in charge, and refusing to give him up.

FEMALE EMIGRANT SOCIETY.—Her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her approval of the object of the British Ladies Female Emigration Society, by subscribing 1001. to its funds. The object of this association, as stated in its report, is not to promote emigration, but to care for the moral interests of female emigrants, especially of young women going to Australia. Many of these being brought from homes of poverty, from parish unions, and from active occupations, both IR rural districts and in towns, are, during the weary and unoccu pied voyage to the Pacific in a crowded ship, thrown upon their own resources, and are in danger of becoming a prey to idleness and vice. To counteract these evils the society has its visiting committees at the ports, by whom industrial classes arc formed among the emigrants, books and work distributed, and such friendly counsel given as the case may require. The society seeks also to promote the appoint ment of edicient matrons who may carry oat their plans on shipboard, and exert a beneficial influence over the young women. A corresponding committee has been formed at Melbourne and Geelong, and measures arc in progress for securing the benefit of similar assistance to immigrants arriving at Sydney and Adelaide. In 1519 the number of fenca:e emigrants alone amounted to 132,703, of whom 11,813 were steerage passengers from the single port of London, 6,925 being destined to Australia and the Cape.

Is. lid ELAtOTITER OF SHEEP ON A RAILWAY.—Last week a shepherd was driving a flock of sheep belonging to • farmer at Steventon, from one field to another, between Dettehworth-bridge and Farringdon-road station, where he had occasion to cross the Great Western Railway. He had driven the sheep through the gateway on to the line, but had not taken the precaution to open the gate on the oppo side side to let the sheep pass through, and the consequence was that a train coming up at the time ran into the flock, and killed no less than 47 sheep, as well as the shepherd's dog. The line presented an extraordinary sceueof slaughter, and the cries of the wounded sheep were piteous in the ex treme. No blame attaches to the engine-driver.—Oaford Journal. DISGRACEFTL CONDVCT AT TCAM.—The Rev. Messrs. Durrowes and Chevalier, two Engli<h gentlemen, arrived at Tama in the course of a tour through the West of Ireland, and on Sunday, after visiting the cathedral, proceeded to the large mass-house erected by Dr. /4.11a1e. While there it becinie known that they were protestant clergyman, in consequence of which a mob collected, and on their re-i-oliog tro:u the edifice assailed them with shouts and hooting., pursuing them until they obtained shelter at their hotel. They called next day upon the lice.

A resolution will also he submitted, confirming the for feiture of shares, r:presmting ;I nominal capital of 5,7004" The general statement of capital account shows that the company is authorised to raise 3,861,8334 ; via , 2,899,3754 OD shares and 966,4A8/. on loans. The sum raised on shares to the 30th of June last amounted to 2,715,2734, and on loans to 726.3821., leaving a balance of 121,1781., being the nominal available capital, including 6,79.3/. arrears on calls. The capital account showed that 3,438,759/. had been re ceived to the 39th of June, including 51,06.81. during the half-year, and 3,336,179/. expended, including 61,6074, expended during the half-year, leaving a balmier, duo to bankers and others of 97,419/. According to the estimates of December, 1819. of the cost of completing the railway, there appeared to be .311,2041. expended during the half year on lines opened and under contract, leasing '221,1151. to be expended on them. The expenditure during the half-year on lines not commenced had been 3,3681., leaving 115,9134 on-expended. From the statement of the working stock, it appears there are 54 cm:inv., '27 first-class carriages, 42 second-class, Gl third-class, 9 composite, and 6 coupe carriages, I mail tender, IS trucks and vans, 13 break-vans, G horse-boxes, 811 goods waggons, 96 coal, , 35 cattle, and 20 ballast wag. guns.

The auditors, Messrs. W. Bates and J. Adams, state in their report that the accounts are correct, and they recommend the reserved fund to he kept up, in order to meet extraordinary expen diture during an unfavourable half-year; but the amount withdrawn to be replaced at more favourable periods, so as to maintain the fund in its integrity. RAILWAY MANAGEMENT.-TILE SOUTH WESTLItN. TO THE EIOTon OF TIIE EXPILESi. Stn,—l ant in the habit of travelling twice or thrice a week by the above railway, and am naturally alarmed at the numerous accideuts which have of late oc curred on it. Very recently, an engine went oil the line near the Hampton Court terminus, fortunately without inflicting injury, beyond the alarm and delay ; but, if the train had attained even is minimum speed, the loss of life , would have probably been frightful. My family begin to fear tra.ting their lives to a mode of conveyance which seems to exhibit either inattention or incapacity in the managers. if a man hail been stationed, as ho ought to have been, at the curve between the Waterloo and auxhall stations, it would have prevented the late collision at the latter place. The cause of the accident on Friday (recounted in Monday'a Ex press) does not apt car. There were, I think, some trains wilt on wrong lines, a short time since, at the junction of the Richmond and Southampton rails, through the points man going to sleep. Men should be employed whose capa bility and munition can be relied on; and these men should not have their physical powers too severely taxed; nor should their remuneration be too scanty. Strict inquiries should be made into the cause of these accident., and pro bably it might turn out that the men who have the lives of her Majesty's lieges in keeping are under-paid and over worked ; or may be there are not enough hands to perform the duties properly ; and further investigation would pro- I bablv show that on railroads, as elsewhere, the useful un derlings are screwed down, in order that the upper, officials, who are the least useful, may enjoy high pay. As a spe cimen of the manner of working this line, turn to the time tables for this month, the only ones sanctioned by the di rectors, or allowed to be sold at any station on this line : you will find the absurdity of two daily trains up from Hampton-court at 11.30. The first is said to reach Vauxhall at 11.55, and Waterloo at 11.5 (25 minutes before it started from Hampton-court!). The second is said to reach Vaux hall at 1.5 a, and Waterloo at 12.5! Yet these are the only time-tables authorised. I came up front Kingston this morning at a very rapid pace, and was detained nearly or quite as long a time in taking the tickets and after that ceremony, as was occupied in the transit; but this is con stautly the practice. I am, sir (Inclosing my name and address), Your Constant Reader, Aug. 11. W. fteference to the time-tables verifies the second case of inaccuracy referred to by our correspondent, but not the first. Either it has been corrected iu our copy, or " W." has mistaken 10 ur 12 for 11.—En. Et.] le 1 . 31 I WATERFORD AND LIMERICK RAILWAY.— The above work is now rapidly progressing, and affords consi derable employment to many of the poorer glasses of this neighbourhood. Upwards of nine hundred persons arc working on that part of the line between Oaklands, the scat of Colonel Phipps, and Caher, where also numbers arc employed. Upwards of a hundred persons are engaged in i forming a foundation for the railway viaduct about to be constructed over that part of the Suir running through " Caher Abbey." Already they have commenced laying down the rails between this town and Caher, and we under stand the works between Bansha and Tipperary are in an equally forward state. Much praise is due to Mr. llargan, the eminent railway contractor, for the spirit of enterprise displayed by him, and fur the manner in which he is carry ing on those works ; and we doubt not but that through his means this line will be finished in a manner highly cre ditable to himself and satisfactory to the Limerick and Waterford Railway Company.—tionmel Chronicle. EIGUT BRIDGES DESTROYED. —The floods which occurred in the early part of last week have proved destruc tive to property and life. In addition to the fatal accident to the two men which we printed, we are informed that eight bridges were swept away. The stacks of turf being carried by the streams to the bridges and choking up the arches, they were forced I. yield to the pressure. In seve ral places new beds have been formed by the streams, seri ously damaging the growing crops.—Armagh Guardian. LONDONDERRY SCOWLS AT PENSIIER, RAINTON, AND Pyrriao-ros.—The annual examination of the chil dren belonging to the above schools, which are sup ported by the Marquis and 3larchioness of Londonderry, took place at rumba on Tuesday Last. The :children, amounting to above 1,000, were conveyed in waggons from the various schools, and congregated on the lawn in front of the house of N. Ifindhaugh, Esq. The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, the Marquis and Marchioness of Blandford, and Lord and Lady Scalmm, were present, as were also a number of clergymen and gentry from the surrounding neighbourhood. The workmen from the va- ' rious codieries, numbering about 2,01/0, were present also at the examination of the children, and were addressed by Lord Londonderry, who stated that his own, so well as Lady Londonderry's great anxiety, was to make them com fortable and happy ; and he hoped that the proofs he was giving, and the attention he was bestowing on their chil dren, would be sufficiently evidenced by the exhibition of that day. Mr. G. Elliott, the new :viewer of the colliery, also addrimed the men, and the proceedings terminated.— aosderland Herald. .KU. RAILWAYS. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocx. This being "continuation day" in the share mar ket, the arrangements for the settlement of the ac count have engaged the attention of the dealers, and the bargains concluded have not been numerous. In a few instances the prices paid are a shade below those of yesterday, but generally there is little change.

These works have been ccurad out by the artist, under the patronage and at the joint cost of the Dean and Chapter, Mr. Blakemore, M.P. for Wells, Dr. Markland, of Bath, and the Venerable Archdeacon Brymer.

The market for the home funds opened rather Hat this morning, but the government broker soon appearing as a purchaser of Consols, prices wire maintained till about an hour and a half ago, when some money sellers came for ward, causing a decline of 1. The market is gene rally quiet and dull, there being an almost entire absence of speculative business. Consols are now quoted 90 to for money, and 9t;;; to for the account of the 11th of ... Septe mber. The official report of the day's transactions embraces :—Three per Cent. ConsoLs,b6?„l, !: ditto, for account, 901 ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 97., !„ ..

Exchequer Bills remain at their late quotation of 465. to 495. prem. India Bonds, under 1,000!., mark 675. prem. Beyond the preliminary arrangements for the set tlement of the account, there has been scarcely any business in the foreign stock market to-day, and prices present hardly a quotable change. Mexican Bonds remain flat, with no disposition to ope rate in them until more confidence can be felt in the management of the bondholders affairs, and in the position of the republic, both financial and po litical. Sardinian Scrip is a trifle weaker, having receded to dis. To4av's business list is as fol lows :—Bruilian New mire per Cents., 1813, 891. Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 931.

The dividends will be payable to the public on the 18th October. The Portuguese financial agency has just published a statement the bonds and certificates of the Three per Cent. stock issued and cancelled front the Ist of January to the 30th of June last. A further rise occurred yesterday in the foreign ex changes, quotations being all higher, with only one or two exceptions, in which the rates did not tztry. Nearly all the foreign banking houses were anxious to draw short Paris, but as part of them are generally takers, they found no of , fors for their bills, or only at such rates as they did not feel inclined to accept. Business was done it 25.5 to 7 for short, and 25.20 to 23 for 3 months. Amsterdam was quite a drug, and very much offered at 11.1 g, whilst buyers could not be moved to take under 11.181 to ;. Hamburg, on the other hand, was more in favour, and easily saleable at 13.8 to ; however, most of the transactions took place at the latter price. Belgium maintained the advance noticed last post, ruling for Brussels, Ant werp, and Ghent, at 25.22; to 25. Of bills on Italy, Genoa was in demand, and negotiated at 23.35 to 40, whilst all other places were done in favour of buyers, particularly Naples, on which city several sums were drawn at 41 tot-. Leghorn was quoted :10.421 to 45. Palermo and Messina were dull at 1231 to 1, and 123; to 121 respectively. Portugal remains as inactive as before at 53 to I, both for Lisbon and Oporto, but paper on Spain was readily taken at former quotations. On Austria it is difficult to give a close quotation, for on the one hand a buyer of a large suns had to pay 11.42, whilst a seller could not realise below 11.5 i. 'rile business transacted on Vienna and Trieste is almost nominal, with the ex ception of isolated transactions. The former may be quoted 11.46 to ao, and Trieste 11.48 to 52. The dollars brought in by the West India steamer Trent were sold to-day at 4s. 11,1 d. per ounce, being a fall of 4d. Bar silver and other descriptions of bullion remain the saute as before. At Paris quota tions are unaltered. Our facilities for ocean steam navigation will shortly be further increased, as an order has been issued by the Lords of the Treasury authorising the grant of a charter to the South American and Gene ral Steam Navigation Company, the object of which is to form a direct steam communication between Liverpool and Rio, with a branch to the River l'late. Four first class vessels will be placed on the line, and the departures will be once per month from each port. By a decision of the French Minister of Finance the interest on Treasury Bonds is fixed as follows: 2 per cent. per annum for bonds of' three to five months date; 3 per cent. for eix to eleven months; and 4 per cent. for bonds of twelve months date. This reduction in the interest would argue in favour of a prosperous state of the French treasury, as it likewise evinces the easiness of the Paris money market. An official return has been published of the entire United States coinage during the year ending the 30th June last. The total amount is 02,019,465 dols., or 10,837,0001. sterling, of which 50,370,961 dols. was in gold, 1,558,733 dols. silver, and 89,771 dots. copper. Ihe comptroller of the state of New York has ad vertised for proposals, which will be received till the 19th instant, for a million dollars of the Canal Re venue Certificates, to be issued under the act of the legislature providing for the immediate completion of the works for the enlargement of the Eric Canal. The Certificates will be redeemable on the Ist July, 1861, and will bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, payable half yearly. These Certificates involve no responsibility on the part of the state, be yond that of faithfully applying the surplus revenues of the canals to their redemption, and some doubt is entertained as to the reception that will be ac corded to them by capitalists. The total cost of the completion of the works is estimated at 10,500,000 dols., and the surplus revenues of the years 1851, 1852, 1853, 1851 arc appropriated to that ob ject. The balance of 9,000,000 dols. is to be provided for by the issue of the revenue certificates. The financial position of this canal, as of so many others in the United States, appears to be very good. The gross revenue fur the year ending the 30th Septem ber last amounted to 3,486,172 dols., and the aggre gate expenses being 835,966 dols., of which 191,201 dols. was for new locks, &c., the net income is shown to be 2,650,206 dols. Deducting from this amount 1,850,000 dials., being the sum appropriated to the sinking funds according to constitutional require ments, there is left a surplus revenue for 1850, appli cable to the completion of the canals, amounting to 800,206 dols. The receipts for tolls, &c., from the opening of the canals to the latest date, were 1,399,361 dols , being an increase of 264,229 dols. over the receipts to the same period in last year.

TIIE NEW ACT TO AMEND TILE LAW OF Ent- DENCE.—Yesterilay the new act (II and 15 Viet., cap. 99), to amend the law of evidence, was printed. Thisimportant act, which was brought forward by Lord Brougham, will be anxiously watched in its operation. By virtue of this new law, parties to suits, actions, or other proceedings in any court of justice, are to he admitted witnesses. For sonic time past, in county courts, the immediate parties have been competent witnesses, and the judges of the courts were in favour of extending the principle to the superior courts, and Lord Denman urged its adoption. Be fore the act was passed several alterations were made, the meet important of which was the omission of the words re quiting notice to the opposite side when either party in • tended to call the other to give evidence in his own case. As the act received the royal assent, it provides that on the trial of any issue joined, or of any matter or question, or on any inquiry arising in any suit, action, or other proceeding in any court of justice, or iefore any person having by law or consent of parties au thority to hear, receive, and examine evidence, the parties thereto and the persons in whose behalf any such suit, action, or other proceeding may be brought or defended shall be competent and compellable to give evi dence either viva yore or by deposition, according to tho practice of the court on behalf of either, or any of the par ties to the suit, action, or other proceeding. By this clause, iu addition to the parties offering themselves to give evi dence in their own behalf, their opponents can compel them to give evidence in the cause. Nothingin the act is to com pel persons charged with criminal offences to give evidence, nor is the act to apply to proceedings in consequence of adultery. Further the new law authorises the common law courts to compel an inspection of documents whenever equity would grant a discovery. Foreign and colonial acts. judgments, dec. arc to be received in evidence without proof of the seal or signature, so also arc apothecaries' certificates. Documents are to be admitted in England or Ireland from either place, and the colonies without proof of seal. Per sons forging the seal or signature are to be guilty of felony and punished accordingly. The act, which contains twenty sections, and extends to all parts of the United Kingdom except Scotland, will come into operation on the Ist of No vember next. ENGLIBII .1N1), AMERICAN CLIPPERS.—During tho past twelve months the public journals have inserted several paragraphs regarding the sailing qualities of American built vessels. The great pride of a Yankee is that he be longs to a " fast" race, and the disposition of his country men to "go a-head " has, so far at least as shipping is concerned, resulted in the building of some fast-sailing American craft. But competent judges altogether deny that in the quality of speed the English builders have been excelled; and they state, it a comparison be made of the carrying and sailing capacities of ships, that the old country has a very marked superiority over the new. Leaving this question to be decided by those who just now take such a lively interest in the discussion, wo may allude to a trial of salting strength that has recently occurred between an American clipper and the English schooner Acis. The American was a schooner of 117 tons, n.m., named the Charles A. Stetson, and commanded by Captain Miller. Tho Acis, 113 tons, n.m., was launched from Mr. W. 13aylev's building-yard, Ipswich, and is the property of F. B. Eae, Esq., London. The American schooner was built on pur pose to compete with English fruit vessels. On the sth of June this vessel sailed from Eleuthera, Bahamas, and arrived in London on July 8, at half-past 10 p.m. Tho Ads sailed from the same place on the 7th of June, two days later, and arrived In London 16 hours before tho American, thus beating her Yankee rival by nearly three days. These facts are admitted by Captain Miller, and after the statements that have been made regarding tho Oriental and other American vessels, it is but common justice to English builders to giro publicity to them Ipascied Express.
