In general it would require a longer time, and much greater expense, to repair the vessels in or dinary than to launch those on the stocks. The ships of the line, although rated at 74's, are generally larger. several of them carrying from 90 to 120 guns, and most of the new frigates are on a corresponding sc ale, both sa to tine and weight of metal. The following are the ships of the line : Independence, in ordinary, at Boston. Columbus, do. do. Ohio, do. New York. Franklin, do. do. Washington, do. do. Delaware, do. Boort. North Ca rolina, do. Alabama, on the stocks, Vermont, do. Virginia, do. Pennsylvania, New York, Pottsmoutk. Boston. do. Philadelphia Norfolk. The following are the frigates: Java, in commission, Mediterranean. Brandywine do. do. Hudson do. BeaziL Guerriere do. Pacific. John Adams do. Gosport. Constitution in ordinary at Boston. United States do. New York. Potomac de. Washington. 31acedonian do. do. Congress do. do. Santee on the stocks Portsmouth. Cumberland do. Boston. , Sabine Flo. New York.: Savannah do. do. Raritan do. Philadelphia. Columbia do. Washington. St. Lawrence do. Norfolk. Contracts have been made, under an act of March, 1827, for the live oak frames of five additional ships of the line, five frigates, and five sloops of war. In fulfilment of these con tracts, deliveries have been made at different navy yards, of 321,714 cubic feet of said timber, for which has been paid the sum of 388,300 dollars. The policy of the United States in building their ships of ear • size larger than the nominal rate, has put the naval powers of the old world to considerable inconvenience, who at , once perceived that in case of a war with this country, their it's would be a source of perpetual embarrassment and anxiety, as they could not. single-handed, encounter a first. rate American 74, without an almost certainty of being cap. tared. And so of their frigates, none of which could stand 4gainst the first class of American frigates. STEAM NAVIGATION OF THE MDISISBIPPI. Although a steamboat was built on the Ohio as early as 1811, and flan that time to 1817 six or seven additional one, were construeted. it was not until that year that their Importance began to he duly appreciated. During that year a Captain Shreve, a bold and skilful navigator. with a stearn.boat. hawing a more powerful engine. ascended t h e Mississippi and Ohio ham New Orleans to Louisville, In SOV' Kentucky, In days t and the enterprise was deemed so extraordinary as to cause a general rejoicing and a public dinner to be given Mm by the citizens of LouisvUle. Since that memorable achievement they have increased most ra pidly, and a trip from New Orleans to Louisville has since been mode In eight days and two hours. The passages formerly made in barges from Now Weans to Louisville, required on an average about three months, and all kind of freight was necessarily extremely high.— Now merchandise eau be carried from Philadelphia to Cin cinnati, by way of New (Maur, at a cent a pound, and from New York to the interior of Ohl*, by the Erie and Ohio canals, at a still cheaper rate t and when the Pennsyl vania canal and rail-road, from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, shall be completed, goods may be introduced into the valley of the Ohio at a still greater reduction of price ; while all the productions of that region will be proportionably in creased in value. Since the introduction of steam navigation on the western waters, the whole number of steam-boats built upon them Is about 375, and their aggregate tonnage about 50,000 tons. Some of them are of 500 tons burden. and from that down to 100, and their average not over 900 tons. The number of boats now in commission, is something over 100 ; their duration is from four to six years, and the cost of their con struction about 100 dollars per ton. Their annual expense for fuel is estimated at 1,181,000 dollars. and the other ex. pease. at 1,300,000 dollars, making at presents total annual expense of nearly 2,500,000 dollars. The value of steam navigation to the United States, and particularly to the great valley of the Mississippi, is incal culable—it defies the power of calculation. We doubt whe ther the citizens of the United States, who duly appreciate its importance, would be willing to part with it for the amount of the whole debt of Great Britain, of eight hun dred millions of pounds sterling, and yet the children of Yukon, to whose genius and edterprise the country le in debted for it, are suffered so pine in indigence and obscurity 1 THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY. JUNE 16. Accounts from Antwerp this morning, state that a firing of musketry took place at intervals all day, on Monday, and was renewed on the morning of Tuesday. At half-put one o'clock, there was a smart firing all along the quay of the town, and it was kept up with great spirit on both sides ; but the fire was principally returned from the Tote de Flandres, and the Dutch gun•boats.— Three twelve pounders were also fired from the latter upon a Belgian vessel, trying to force a passage. The firing ceased at 11 o'clock, upon some arrangement being entered into, between (ion. de Tilly, the Minister of War, who arrived from Brussels, and General Chass4. The town was left perfectly tranquil, and order again restored ; no lives have been lost, and a few only slightly wounded. A gentleman who arrived from Antwerp this morning, represents the above affair in a more seri ous light ; he states, that many were killed and carried off privately. It is supposed that fifteen or twenty thousand persons have left Antwerp.— There are reports of disturbances at Ghent. The Dutch and Belgians, if not as above stated in actual war, are preparing for hostilities, the mediators having obtained time for each to enable itself to indict on the other the greatest mischief. The mediators, it seems, will not recognize Prince Lzoroz.n, except under the conditions of their protocols ; and we take it upon ourselves to state, that no Government could exist a month in Belgium, which sanctioned the Dutch-occupation of both sides of the Scheldt, the grand out let of the Belgic Provinces. The people, too, of Limburgh, Luxemburgh, and Maeatricht, have made common cause with the rest of the Provinces, and how is a separation of such identity of inte rests to be effected? If the Belgians are true as the Poles to one another, they need fear nothing from the mercenaries of Foreign Courts ; yet it is most afflicting that the only alternative is one of I blood. The quiet submission of six millions of people to the dictation of a majority of adverse mediators is out of the question ; and if, as re ported, the Ministers of England and France dis sented, the Protocols cannot have bad their apparent sanction. The intelligence from Poland to-day, continues to be satisfactory. There has been some treason, or some unworthy feeling at work, on the part of the Military Governor of Warsaw; and tritINSILI, the commandetof one of the corps of the army.— In popular Governments, where men have equal pretensions, such differences are unavoidable ; but in this case, the obnoxious persons have been re moved from command. Every account proves the enormous losses in magazines, suffered by the Russians, from SizavniEClEl l ll expedition, and also the severe loss which DIEBITSCH suffered in his attacks, on the bridge of Ostrolenka. Several regiments ap pear to have been mowed down by the grape-shot of the Polish artillery; while DI EBITSCH was forcing them onward by grape-shot from the rear ! But, by a refinement of barbarity, not matched in modern warfare, he forced the Polish Jew inhabitants of Ostrolenka, to repair the bridge, under the fire of the Polish artillery, by which hundreds of these unfortunate men were destroyed. He seems determined to outvie Azvz, SUw•RRoi, and BLUCHER ! GIELGUD NA CHLAPOWSKI are progressing into Lithuania, and have gained various consider able advantages over the surprised Russian corps ; while they appear to be joined by thousands of the inhabitants. We may soon expect to hear of them at Vilna, and on the Dwina. We have this day the gratification of being able to turn from the disgusting and semi-barbarous pa litics, of the feudal and Lordly Courts of the Eu ropean Continent, to the glorious picture of national prosperity and domestic happiness enjoyed by our trans-Atlantic brethren, who, worthy of their sires, are realising the principles of HAIePDsr, MIL TON, and SIDNEY. They escaped the VlM sallage of the egotistical and greedy Bo ronglunongers, in 1776 and 1783, and we be hold the glorious results. Would to GOD that we too, had, at the same time, had the equal good for tune to emancipate ourselves from the same thraldom. We should then have saved our country from the foul disgrace of mortgaging all its estates for eight hundred millions, and spending two thousand millions to arrest the march'of Liberty in Europe ; rivers of human blood, in the cause of unprincipled glory, would have been spared ; and instead of toiling to pay iaxes, and maintain the aggrandisement of boroughmongers, our in dustry would have placed us oil a pinnacle of civi lization, never before realized by human nature. Do not let us envy the United States ; but after our expected emancipation, let us imitate them in wisdom and policy, and prove that we are of one family with kindred spirits. It appears by official returns that America ex ported last year to the amount of seventy-four millions of dollars, chiefly native productions; and imported seventy-one millions, giving employment to 967,227 tons of American shipping; while the entire tonnage of the United States is now 1,260,797, or above half that of the United King dom, which is about 2,200,000. Further, that the population from . 1820 to 1830, hes increased from 9,637,299 to 12,976,649, or a full third, chiefly in the Mississippi and commer cial states ; proving tfi'e astonishing and porten tous immigration from the ill-governed states of Europe, on which we may incidentally remark, that we never hear of any immigrating to them ! A necessary evil, but provident in the state of the world, and while the Boroughmongers ruled in the British Parliament, has been the creation of a Navy ; and hence we learn, that the States have now in ordinary, 13 sail of heavy ships of the line, and 17 heavy frigates, besides sloops, &c. &c. The introduction of Steam Navigation renders their great Rivers equivalent to Canals, and this im mense advantage is their boast ; because they claim for their ingenious Ft: vrow the first realisation of that mode of Navigation. We confess we rejoice in this external show of prosperity, in a people who speak and cultivate our language, and with whom we claim common ances try ; but we rejoice more to see such prosperity ac companied by advances in all the arts of life—in freedom from public debt—in exemption from taxes —in the superabundance of all the necessaries of life—and in the perfect enjoyment of civil and reli gious liberty. Six months ago, we could not so have rejoiced, without repining, that the mother country did not enjoy the same advantages ; but we now cease to repine, since, in the Remise BILL, we have a confident assurance, that the obstructions to our equal advantages will now speedily be re moved ;—and when removed, and the indus try of the country has sea-mom, and its genius fair play, we shall then be able to reunite internal and individual comtprt, with all the external display that wisdom demands. The incubus on Britain has been the rotten Boroughs, and the close Corporations; and the malign influence of these being destroyed, and the genuine intelligence of the country being rendered egective in its legisla ture and magistracy, we shall have nothing either to regret or envy in the prosperity of other countries.

We hear that the Belgian Deputies are very ob stinate in their interviews with Prince Coburg and the Ministers ; they threaten to clothe the Belgian troops in the same uniform as the French troops, and declare Belgium a department of France. The French Papers state, that the Polish army sent into Lithuania is divided in three equal divi sions ; the first division is commanded by General Geilgud, and has taken the road to idaryampol, where 24,000 patriots wait them ; ~the second, commanded by General Sierkkowski, takes the road of Loma* to Grodno; the third is commanded by two Generals, Dembinski and Chlapowski, and takes the road to the right of the forest of Bralowie, and the only Russian troops which these corps have to encounter are three regiments of the Imperial Guards, which are sup posed to be at Grodno. Extr ct of a private letter from Koningsbourg, recieved this morning, June 2. "The political state of affairs in Russian-Poland is dreadful ; the insur rection is spreading, and the Russians have no good troops to put it down ; and the assistance which Russia obtains from the wild Asiatic tribes, is of very little avail I and these hordes, who spread their barbarity, widen the breach. The sacrifice of money which the Russians make, is enormous, partly on account of the cholera morbus as well as for the safety of the country.

At a quarter to three o'clock, prayers having been read, his Majesty's Commissioners, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Durham, and the Marquis of Lansdowne took their seats. The Deputy Usher of the Black Rod was then directed by the Lewd Chancellor to order the attend ance of the Commons to the bar. In a few minutes Mr. Manners Sutton, accompanied by a numerous body of the Members of the House of Commons, appeared at the Rm. Mr. Max wins Sorrow having bowed to their Lord ships, addressed them u follows :—My Lords, I have to acquaint your Lordships, that in obedience to his Ma jesty's commands, and In the exercise of their 'indent and undoubted privilege, his Majesty's faithful Commons have elected a speaker, and their choice has fallen on me. My Lords, I am deeply aware of the importance of the situ ation I am now called upon to fill, which fourteen years' experience hos fully proved to met and of the many ha. perfections belonging to myself, no one can be more sen sible than I am. Should His Majesty be pleased to disapprove of the choice his faithful Commons have made, there will be no dilliculty in selecting another Member better qualified than I am, to undertake the duties olds* dig. pilled and important trust which has been imposed on me. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Mr. Sutton: We his Majesty's Commissioners have It In command to Inform you, that his Majesty confirms the appointment of you as their Speaker. by his faithfal Commons. Mr. SUTTON—My Lords, I have now to claim, on the part of his Majesty's faithful Commons, all the rights, liberties, sad privileges heretofore granted them, particularly freedom from west, freedom of debate, and free access to his Majesty's presence, when occasion may require ; sad, should any faults arise, I pray that they may be attributed to me, and not to them. The LORD CH ANCELLOR-41r. SpesJuse, we are further commanded to inform you, that His Majesty fully confirms to his Faithful Commons all their ancient rights, liberties, and privileges.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Ilezezza entered the house at half-past two °Work at which time several members had assembled. The [lobes of the Black Rod then summoned the house to the Reese of Peers, whkber the house instantly proceeded. On their return, The SPEAKER informed the house, that his Majesty's Commissioners had been pleased to signify his Majesty's ap probation of the choice which the Commons had made of a Speaker, and to grant to the Commons the privileges which they had enjoyed from time immemorial. The right hon. gentleman then begged again to express his deep obligation to the house for the hammer which they had conferred spots bias. Every repetition of the honour had made it of grower value to ►im. It proved to bins, in a way most satisfactory to his feelings, that his endeavour to discharge to the beat of his ability the duties of his office, had bees appreciated by the house. He could assure the house, that as long as he bad the honour of ailing the chair, he would ans. tinue his endeavours to exercise strict Impartiality, end to display the utmost assiduity. He looked for the support of the house in his endeavours to maintain order in the proceed , logs of the house, which was not only essential to the pro gress of business, but to the best interests of the country.— That which was the most valuable to them—the freedom of debate—could alone be insured by a suiet attention to the rules and orders of the house. Having said this mock be begged to inform the house that the only proceeding to which they could have recourse at the present period, was the taking of the oaths required by law. The SPE/XL& and the members present then took the oaths. The house continued to sit till 4 o'clock for the pur. pose of affording members an opportunity of taking the oaths. The house wilCsit for this purpose every day this week, from 10 till four o'clock. Yesterday, at two o'clock, the King held an In , vestitore of the Bath. Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Eking was introduced by Sir Garr& Nay ler, Garter King at Arms, when his Majesty was graciously pleased to invest Sir Charles as a Knight Commander of the Bath. Shortly after the King held 'a Levee, receiving in the first instance those who had the privilege of the entree, viz. the Duke of Brunswick, the Russ ian , Austrian, French, , and Netherlands Ambassadors, the American, Prussian, Da. nish, Spanish, Sardinian, Neapolitan, Mexican, Hanoverian, and Wurtemberg Ministers; the Envoy Extraordinary from the Netherlands; the Brazilian Chargé d'Affaires; the Archbishops of Canterbury and York; the Bishop of Lon. don ; the First Lord of the Treasury; the Secretaries of State for the Foreign and Colonial Departments; the First Lord of the Admiralty; the President of the Board of Control, &c, The General Levee woo numerously attended. His Majesty gave audiences to the Duke of Brunswick, the Marquis of Winchester, Lord Combatant., Sir Wm.

To one of the Yew Ones. LZTTIII It. Julia 13. Be it so, my good friend : the riclwelers have takers in dudgeon, it seems, the wholesome advice I gave the-1 in my former letter. Better so, by a thousand times, than remain contumaceously sulky t expressed malice may gise hopes of reformation. whilst we can have no hopes frc:.4 incorrigible silence. Even they may forget se doctor their beer for one night (which marks the tine of operation), and their customers marvel next day at the change which has been silently effected in their medicine dicsost:ca. When I spoke of delinquency attach;ne itself to the character cf your virulent opponents. I mainly referred to the half-thousand convictions which the licensed victualkrs have sustained, during the preceding twelve months, foe mixing deleerious it gteslients in their beer, and *hies prosecutions are still going on, I observe, until they reach about double that nun.ber. As in all similar cases el unfair or dishonest trading, they fall unpitied into tl'e hands of justice, and stand convicted amidst the scorns of those they have reduced below the ranks of manhood. They thus furnish the strongest arguments that could be adduced for passing the salutary law for opening the tree in beer: yet do they writhe and rail at " cep. 64," (whic% copped all the other statutes of the session.) like the hydro. culprit " hanged innocent ! my masters ! " They rail at tl passing storm,—as Calibas railed at the punishment of his perverseness, though they must have seen it approaching ever since 1822 and 1823 ; when the manner in which Mr. Broughams's two bills were received by Parliament convinced the more astute among them, that "the congregated wisdom of the nation" would not much longer stand their nonsense; and they "sold out" to the tare congers under suspicious circumstances, which, I am of opinion, subjects all subs,. quent bargains and sales of such leases to the revision sad restitution which a bill in equity would assuredly give the dupes. Indeed, the whole system of good-will, as it is called, has arisen, and la supported by, a strain of sesqui. I . I pedaltan arguments, befitting no other subjects than tap.tube I and beer engines come to. "Public-house chanyes"—says a writer in 1820, who will understood his pockets—" when I these take place, exhibit an entire series of cajolery from one lend to the other. On such occasions,two or three ap praiser-brokers render the newly-taken house a scene of riot, of quirk, and confusion, for days together, nowise com porting with the character which should constitute the de cent tradesman." But, let me ask those among them, who might not have been quite so up to things as their mote knowing ireelsers in iniquity (the sinners !) could it appear probable, to any one capable of bestowing a second thought upon any thing, that the Government of this misery, which always professes, and usually feels, a lively cons restive care of the people, would long continue an extensive monopoly at the disposal of men who have thus been brought to justice , by hundreds, and proved . the reckless destroyers of the I people's health, robbers of the revenue, and dishonest 'sr. vents, or customers, of their principals, the brewers ? If P they have been undone and ruined by fines, or bereaved 4.1 pelf so obtained, in consequsnce of the New Beer Bill, have they not brought those evils upon themselves by their Own cupidity ? and do they candidly hope that two thousand flue hundred housekeepers of this metropolis, who have re. wady embarked their all as "licensed retailers of beer," will be " driven from their propriety," by base entices such , as those before noticed. adduced by corrupt judges like these ? Most assuredly not. The *warrens:, is not in the nature of things. Nor will I allow those among them who may not have been had up, to escape the suspision of guilt I neither . shall those who happen to have escaped comfit:dist% pint! : their innocence in bar of the general censure thus passed opal the body of old enders in beer ; for this is the mama r they themselves recendypessed judgment open the now mini& ors, condwenbag the whole far theaters ea few.
