TI to RAISE the Star of £220,000 by ANNUL c,..111:8 for eight years payable out of the first profits of th e • Company. The great Steamship of this Companyhaving been launched ell the 31st January, and safely moored at Deptford, it was resolved, at the Adjourned Annual Meeting of Proprietors, held at the London Tavern, 17th Ap r il, 1858 . That a sum of £220,000 should be raised to equip the AhiP for sea." The Directors, in conjunction with the Shaieholders' Com ' vnittee of Co-operation, have earnestly considered the best '• teems of obtaining for the Subscribers of such sum a liberal • return for their capital, and security for its repayment. After mature deliberation, they have arrived at the condo lien, that the most speedy and profitable return can 'be ob tained by placing the vessel on the lino between England and the United States. The principal reasons which have induced this decision are the following : 1 • TIIE RouTs.—lbe transit between Europe and America affords the largest passenger traffic in the world. The num .ber of passengers who have landed in Canada 9,nd the United mates from Europe , amounted, in the last fourteen years, to zeariy 4i millions, or an average of upwards of 300,000 per ("US per annum. The great ship is peculiarly fitted for this Voyage ; and the accommodation which she can afford to an i mmense number of passengers is unrivalled as regards space, v entilation, and all the other comforts which a large vessel affords over a small one. 2. SPEED.--The average speed of the great• ship is esti mated at 16 knots an hour. At that rate she will accomplish her passage between Holyhead or Liverpool and Portland, State of Maine, in seven days. This important reduction in • the time of transit across the Atlantic must ensure for the , s hip as Much of the passenger traffic which is constantly pass lug between Europe and America as she can carry; for travellers invariably avail themselves of the shortest sea transit, even at higher rates. 3. FARES.—The scale of passage money can be reduced P r oportionately with the reduction in the time of transit. Per single voyages, Ist and 2d class passengers can be taken a t rates below the average now charged in the Anglo-Ame titan Steamers ; and the 3d cl as s f ares, ,will very little exceed those of the sailing vessels, which average about forty days on their pas sa -- . ev Further reductions can be m a d e on re t urn ' tickets, 4, Ranmar FACILITIES.—The London and North-Western t . "' i lvray Company of England, and the Grand Trunk R tilway rePany of Canada (comprehending 1,500 miles of railway) Zve agreed to give the Eastern Steam Navigation Company ,Portion of their receipts on all the ship's tra ffi c p ass i ng over Sett-Dines. These and other important Railway Companies, A 4ll well in Great Britain as on the Continents of Europe and olerica, have arranged for working a joint-through traffic o otribination with the Eastern Stea Navigatio Compan. 14 Y these means passengers will be m conveyed, n under on y e I pstena of management and for one payment, between the ding cities of Europe, Canad a, an d th e U n i te d S tates. 0 . Touarsrs. —The foregoing facilities will enable. Euro pleaos desirous of visiting America, and Canadians and tizens of the United States proposing to see Europe, to r avel to give n p o i n t s on e ith er of the continents, and to return home, fora fixed sum, at a reasonable rate, with ealiar facilities, and with such arrangements as to time as 44 Y best suit their individual convenience. It is anticipated that such facilities will tend greatly to develop traffic. t , 6. POR TLAND . —Th e B a y o f P or tl an d teing the nearest liar -I'°llr of the United States to Europe and the coast terminus of the Grand Trunk and other railways, affords peculiar ad • vantages. Safe and easy of access, the ship willlayafloat along side a wharf which the Municipal and State authorities have otripleted in connection with the railways. The same autho-' , cities have also agreed to ex mpt the ship from all du es , Whether f or lights, pilotage, or other local charges. Through cat the United states and Canada great anxiety prevails to tee and visit her. Under date 26th April, 1858, the Mayor of Portland writes—" I h ave b een requestel [by the Board of • Mayor and Aldermen of the city of Portland, to ascertain from the Directors of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company When their steamer will visit this city, and I shall feel obliged if you will advise me as early as practicable of the time fixed for her first trip, in order to enable our citizens to make the necessary arrangements for the convenient accommodation of the large number of persons who will visit her during her stay here." Arrangements are in progress with the Directors of the Railways in the United States which radiate from Portland for participation in their profits from traffic to and from the ship. 7. Casa°.=Tire great ship has not only vast capacity for c argo, but will have peculiar facilities for its delivery. By means of the Railways running from her to New York Ind Boston, goods can be deposit e d a t th e very d oors o f t h e • M erchant s ' St ores , no t on l y earl i er than by other moans of n veyance, but free from any charge for light , rage or wharf -1/4- The same as regar d s C ana d a and the Western States of th e Union. The Directors in submitting the following estimate of ex thPs4diture and easoings of the Ship for a year, desire to state at it is f oun d e d on prac ti ca l d a t a, an d t h at i t i s corrobcs ated by the mos t ex p er i ence d P assenger an d E m i grat i on ' A gents of the day. a T hu principle adopted in framin g thi s es ti ma t e, h as b een t o "arge against the ship the maximum of expenditure, and to give credit only for the minimum of earnings, the capabilities It the ship being greatly in excess of the estimated quantities. 1: is therefore a calculatian which may be fully relied upon. has only been made for seven voy ages per annum ; but it „„t,he opinion of practical men th a t th e s hi p can make e i g h t, "l'a possibly even nine voyages each year.

Mr. Wodehouse, the Governor of British Guiana, arrived in the colony on the 9th of May, from Venezuela. His Excellency visited that republic for the purpose of settling the boundary between British anfi Venezuelean Guiana, but was unable to accomplish his object in consequence of the reveiu tlou which lad to the overthrow of the President Monagas.

LORD BROUGHAM ON SLAVERY-. At the annual met ting of the Anti-Slavii7 So ciety held on Saturday last, Lord Brougham, tit rising to address the assembly, was received with loud cheers. The noble and learned lord 'repudiated al , claim to the merit of having bad a principal hand in the abolition of the slave trade. It was to Thomas Clarkson and his worthy co-operators the Society of Friends, aided by a Wilberfirce, that that great work was doe primarily, but ultimately to the Ministry of Mr. Fox, Lord Grenville, and Lord Grey, in 1807, w h o, as their last act LefOre quitting office, which an *baud CIP of intolerance compelled them to do, introduced the Act for the Abolition of the African Slave Trade. Unhappily (said the noble lord) that was sought to be accom plished by pecuniary penalties alone, and when I found two or three years after that these penalties were not sufficient,---because inthe gambling nature of men, and of slavetradeis included, they could well afford to lose five cargoes of slaves by confis cation, and to pay the penalties of seizureseepro videct one - otit of aix cargoes escaped and lfrought them the enormous profits which that unnatural traffic created—it seemed to me fit —add it is in that respect Only that I can be said to have had any effectual hand in the catrying cut of this great measure-that it should be treated no longer as a mere revenue question, as one : of penalties and confiscation ' • but as one of penal law, and an ac t t o be punished as a crime. How could I, then, do otherwise than listen to the call to break through my rule which ferrnany years I hadlaid down to myself, not to attend public meetings, and atteud here to-day ? (Cheers.) When I found that in other countries on both sides of the Atlan tic there were attempts making to revive that traf fic and go backward to slavery itself, it seemed to me tlaa,t the time had come, I - will not say to shOw that in our " ashes live their wieeited- . * T4 , !— (eheerS)—but that we had awakened from the slumbering of advarced age—awakened before de scending into that state of slumbering, feeble, un reasoning, and narrative old age, an d that before nitiin:tely descending thereinto I should' aid one effort more to th e grea t came. (elle s) ' Tee antiquity of the system of slavery has been urged in its favour; and has been even transferred to the save trade itself by some of the statesmen of Ame ric sin a late &bete in Congress. When eve - eking of the peasantry, as they call the 'slates, tffey say that they are a peculiarly happy and comfortable people, and that their situation is one which the peasantry of any other country might envy. There i 3 one subject upon which I must be permitted to say a word—l mean the scheme of what is called free emigration from the coast of Africa. (Cheers.) It is the grossest-abuse of language to talk of free emigration from th© coast of Athos. I lately had occasion to see some ,most respectable and gallant officers who had served iu the French ',levy during the Orel:teen war, and who had Jetely been on:the coast ofAftica s - stiperin tendents of the s'iipment of t'to - e d free tiegfoes. -ffeudd fr - oin them that the mortality . on .poard the ieasele— with all the 'excellent regulations of the French Government—on a 30 days' voyage from Africa to Guadaloupe and Martinique was a's ranch as 10 per cent. in the se 30 day s. On Ka -king how the men *ere llbiativedr,. I Mist t it every ori6 of them was a slave, purchased for the purpose of being taken on b eael the French ships. fluty were slaves brought np to the coast, from the interior, and then liberated, in order to be put c n 1 o ird under inden tures, which those p:or nsgre e being no doubt excellent French lawyers, must be supposed' 'to understand the exact nature of binding them to service for a number of years. It is said that we in England have no right to complain, because we ourselves supply our colonies with coolies from India and China, and therefore the French and Spaniards have a right to take negroes from Africa. It is to Cuba alone to which these men are sent, and, depend upon Pe unless you blockade the ports of Cuba it is in vain to expect that' the system can be put down. I agree with those who think that the better course to take is not to trust to any blockade of the Cuban coast, but to do all we can in concert with the French Goveinment in order to obtain the emancipation of the slaves in Cuba it self. The instant that emancipation takes place the: e would be an end to all speculation on the part of our kinsfolk in America to obtain possession of Cuba, for the great object of those who entertain that notion is to obtain increased preponderance of the slave States in the Union. (Cheers.) The weight which this country ought to have with the Go vernment of Spain, joined' with that of France, if brought to bear up on th a t G overnment, would, I am convinced, soon succeed in obtaining this great advantage to our cause. There never was a greater delusion, if it is'not a gross misrepresenta tion, than to suppose that our importing coolies is anything like a parallel case to the traffic earned on by France on the coast of Africa. I utterlyesb jected to the coolie system, and brought forward motion after motion against it. But the grand dif ference is, that the coolies come from a different sort of country—British officers can prevent them from being kidnapped, and no contraband force is used in getting them on board the ships. But from the African coast these native Africans are obtained from slave-trading princes, who hunt down the slaves for the purpose of capturing and then selling them as what are called free emigrants. (Cheers.) I observe that slavery is not only described by many of its advocates as a very ancient institution, but I see that one of the American statesmen has lately stated in the Assembly of the United States that the slave trade, as well as slavery, is a very an cient practice, and that in former times, and in almost all parts of the world, it was carried on. It is ancient, no doubt. But there is anothermore ancient practice of murder, and of the worst sort of murder, fratricidal murder; for it does so happen that the first man th e t was born murdered the se cond, and that second born was his brother. But I do not think you would deem it a palliation of the offence of murder or of fratricide to cite its undeni able antiquity. We are told that some misrepresen tations prevail as to the results of our great mea sure of emancipation. It has been held forth as having been a complete failure. The statement al ready made ty your worthy secretary shois that there is no foundation for that statement. I find that Mr. Governor Hiscke, writing from Barbadoes in the present year, says that 'there 'is one estate which during the time of slavery was worked by 230 slaves, and which: was sold for 15,000/. Since emancipation it has been worked by GO free labourers and 30 children, and it produced three times the quantity of- sugar _which it formerly did, and was sold last year for.now (Cheers.) It might be the case that in same of the West India islands there was a want of hinds, but a noble friend of mine, Lord Douglas, who owns large property in Tobago, went over a short time since to look into the matter for himself. He set. to work and introduced plough husbandry arid cattle. He had his prejudice against so doing, like other people, but these have been entirely remov e d by the results which have followed. (Hear.) Th e ut mos t e xertions are, in my opinion, still netessary for the purpose of preventing that falsely-called s y s t e m of free emigration from the c oas t o f Africa. It is neither more nor less, than a revival of tjie African slave trade. Tho day upon which I have the honour of addressing you is the anniversary of shat when the Stuarts were restored—r e mi n di ng me of the :saying of Mr. Fox, that the worst of revolutions is a restoration, for sure I am that if thereshould be that revival of the African slave trade that remark will be found most applicable to the restoration of slavery in our colonies and the slave trade on the African coast. (Cheers.) Ah ! there is another anuiversary—it is the Ist of August-- (cht'ers)----a day sanctified, first of all by the acces sion of the family which Low rules this constitu tional kingdom-1 mean the access'on of the House of Brunswick, but still more sanctified in my view by its being the day of the emancipation of our slaves. (Cheers.) Heaven forbid that we should ever - live to see a step, however little, retrograding in the direction.either of the slave trade or slavery. (The noble lord resumed his seat amid loud and protracted cheers.) NEW ORLEANS, MAT 19. Sales of cotton to-day 5,000 bales, prices un changed. HALIFAX, MAY 20.

Fish stuffs have been very scarce, and the first cargo arriving will realize high rates. There is little to be said of produce. Very scanty supplies of coffee and the absence of pi mento, together with the low prices quoted for sugars in the English markets, have caused a want of activity hare, and there has been but vary little done, The money-market remains stringent, the banks offering no facilities, refusing to discount, except for exchange.

By the last Bank RAurn it appears that the Bank holds in the Issue Department no less than 17,159,7001. Comparing this return with that of the Bank in the May of 1843, about the same period after the Panic of 1847 as has now elapsed since tb t of last autumn, we find that the Bank had in 1843 12 6 61,4101. in the Issua Department, that is, about 3t millions less bullion than it has at present. The Reserve of Nc.te3 in 1858 is 11,351,7701., against 8,566,610/. in 1848. The rate of discount was in May 1848 4 per cent., being 3 per cent. at present. Altogether, therefore, the'ren.ction from the Monetary crisi s of 1857 has been more rapid than was the case after that of 1847. The trade reports manifest some slight improve ment, but as yet it is only slight. Improvement there must necessarily be, for at one time in the autumn of last year all the great staple trades of the country Were, as nearly as possible, sus pended. With a low rate of discount, indicating the increase in the circulating medium—which is now 31,634,7001. against 21,141,0651. in the week of last November before the suspension of the Bank Charter A ct —merchants and traders have necessarily greater facilities for obtaining the money requisite for carrying on the trade of the country. But . the heavy blow which has been struck, the numbers who have been ruined, and the greater number whose re .ourees have been crippled by the late crisis, it must take time to bring trade into a healthy arid remunerative condition. Every indication of the withdrawal of bullion will for some time to come be watched with un er,siness, for our retention of bullion depends the revival of trade and the "growing confidence" of our commerce. After the depression cf 1837 a drain of Whim). back alarm and diArcss in 1839. Should India require heavy remittances of specie, or the unsettled state of Europe cause a drain, we may have a speedy return of our difiiculties. The " Cycle" of trade, according to Lord Overstone, may be exp?cred to bring us a crisis, with all its attendant evils about every ten ars. But the Bank Charter Act, though never better than its promises, is sometimes worse. We have under the Monetary system of Peel and Overstone no security. If a crisis come soon we may hope it will not be so severe ; if it be long delayed it is certain to be proportionably ruinous. - - [ADVERTISEMENT.] —DU Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food invariably restores health, without medicine, inconve nience, or expense, as •it saves fift y t i mes i ts cost i n other remedies, an d removes i ndigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com plaints, cough, asthma, consu mption, and debility.

Important Cauti on against t h e f ear ful ' dangers of spurious imitations.—The Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood granted au Injunction on tke 10th March, 1834, against Alfred Hooper Novill for imitating "D 4 Barry's Re valeuta Arabica Food.” AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, MAY 30. The Royal mail steam e ship Europa, Captain Leitch, has arrived with the New York mails of the 18th, Boston of the 19th, and Halifax of the 21st inst. She' has'brought $397,609 in specie, on freight. • The Austria steamer from Southampt on arrived at New York on the 18th. The steam-ship North American .had arrived at Quebec. Telegraphic advices, via Boston, report that the United - States' Government had given orders to the various collectors of Customs to report all out rages committed by the British in the Gulf of Mexico: Orders had been issued to fit out the frigate Saratoga at New York, and the brig Dol phin at Boston, for the strengthening of the Gulf squadron. .A similar order was issued to the naval authorities at Norfolk, but the vessel in view had sailed. In the Senate on the 17th, Mr. Seward sub mitt ed the following : • "Resolved—That the Committee on Foreign Rela tionslbe instructed to inquire whether any legislation is necessary to enable the President of .the United States to protest American vessels against British aggression in the, Gulf of Mexico or elsewhere, and, to report by bill or otherwise." The resolution, in consequence of an objection by Mr. Mason, was temporarily laid over. All the New. York papers have leading articles, written in rather an angry spirit, on the proceed ings of the British cruisers in overhauling 'American veisels. S A despatch from Washington says :--=- " The President has demanded explanations from England and Spain in reference to the search and visi tations of American vessels in the vicinity of Cuba and its harbours. The Colorado, which left Norfolk on the 12th inst., has specific orders to the home squadron to stop these interferences with American shipping from any quarter whatsoever. The recent visitations have caused much indignation on the part of Congress as well as the Aeministration. Both houses have called upon the President for particulars." The Net; York Times of the 17th says : - " Several new instances of the boarding of American vessels by British cruisers are reported. Capt. Foulkes, of the ship Tropic! Bird, states that on the 2d iest., while on his passage home from Port-au-Prince, he way brought to and boarded by the British gunboat Jaw*. The Jasper fired a gun,when Capt. F ou lk es ran up hi s colours and 'kept on s course; two other guns: were fired, .a shot passine over the stern of the Tropic Bird. On beaving-to an officer of the Jasper came on board, and explained that that vessel was on the look-out for slavers, and suspected this one. Cent. Foulkes was compelled to show his papers, and ttee officer then left, threatening, however, to fire into the ship if it filled away before he left, which threat was disregarded, and nothing more happened. As to the case of the barque W. H. Chandler, Capt. Gaze explains that he was by an officer from the Styx, but that the ornduct of that periorage was not so angehtlernanly as has been reported. Capt. Rawley, of the brig Martha Gilchrist, reports having been boarded, while lying in the harbour of Segue la Grande, by a boat from a British vessel, but adds that he experienced no disrespectful treatment other than the fact of the visit of an armed force." Captain Lorine, of the American b r i g Wineohl, which arrived at Boston on the 16. h, reported ilia.t . on the 30th ult., after leaving Sierra Moreno, a bale pierced fired into by a British cruiser. O ae o f th e pierced the maininast,.close' to the captain's head.• This, vessel was afterwards boarded by a fully areeod boat's crew, who insisted on extimining the brig's papers. . t . The Senate Committee of Ways and Means , after conferring with the Secretary o f th e Treasury,. . had determined to bring in a bill authorising a lean of '5,000,000 dols., in lieu of a further issue of Tees: sury notes. Time advices from K ansas ; con t a in reports of de: predations committed by a large body of bandits. Mir Henry William Herbert, a literary man of some ability in New York, had committed suicide by shooting' himself.'Hislather was Dean of Man chester.- Previously to comniittingthe act he wrcite a leng'hy address to the. press of his adopted &inn try ; alie one to the coroner. Domestic differences appear to have prompted hinito, selklestrubtion. The accident on the Lafayette and Indiariopolis •Reilway caused the death of the condu,tor, fire man, and engineer. From Utah wo learn that Gevernor Cirramileg, Colonel Cane, and other United States' Commis sioners had, proceeded to Salt Lake city to confer with the Moimone, who were apparently ready to receive them in a friendly spirit. Ad vices from Mexico state that General Juarez and his Cabinet had fled from Colima, alarmed by the threatening aspect of affairs, and had taken up their quarters at Vera Cruz which became the pro visional seat of Gouernment. The revolutionists were achieving rapid successes, and the turns of fortune were very extraordinary. The city of Zaca tecas had capitulated to the Government forces, but was subsequently recaptured by the forces of Vidaurri, by whom it was still occupied et last accounts. Orizabe was captured by Gen. Echeaga iay on the 17th ult„ after a short resiAance. This success was followed by the full of Jalapa, so that the Government had obtained possession of both roads to Vera Cruz. The whole country was in a state of anarchy. Trade was paralysed, and bands of robbe:s infested the roads, rendering travel perilous. A strong feeling prevailed in favour of foreign intervention t.) settle existing difficulties, but it•is reported that the mass of the people prefer the French or Spanish mediation to the aid of the Anglo-Saxons. Advices from Tampico repeat that the French Consul in charge of the Spanish Consulate had sent to Gen. Concha, requesting a frigate with which to menace Garza if lee continued firing on the town. At New York on the 17th the foreign exehange• market was dull ; on London, 109.1 c. to 110 c. for 60 days' sight ; 1100. to 111 c. for short sight. The Bank statement for the week showed an increase of 1,377,000 dols. in loans and a nominal increase of 718,000 dais. in deposits ; the undrawn depodts being. however, nearly 2,000,000 dols. more than for the preceding week. The additional loans were in part in Treasury notes, for which the banks had paid specie perhaps to the extent of near 3,000,000 dols. as the sub-Treasury showed an aggre gate in crease of more than that amount since the Bth inst. Compased with the second week of May, 1857, the bank aggregates were as follow : - Loans. Specie.

The S , Tretary of the Treasury had made a num ber of awards at 5 per cent interest on the bids of the 10th, being for the remainder of the $5,000,000 not takeu below that ratio. The President of tha Bank of Virginia, at Dan ville, had been informed by the President of the Bank of the State of North Carolina that that bank and its branches will resume specie payments on the let of June next. The market for Western flour was without essien tial change from the 15th, and the demand con tinued good at full prices. The sales included 1,000 barrels high grade shipping round hoop Ohio at $4 50c. State flour, however, was quite heavy at $4 07c. ; a parcel of 400 barrels choice sold at $4 12c. Southern flour continued in fair demand at unchanged prices. Cornmeal was quite aciive. The market for wheat ruled rather in favour of the buyer, but without quotable change in prices. Corn was a shade firmer, except for yellow. Pork was active, but lower ; beef dull and drooping. Ashes quiet. Spirits of turpentine active, but without material change iu price. Freights mo derately active at steady rates. The suspended banks of St. Louis resumed pay ment on the 14th. Wright's Circular of the 18th reports that the cotton-market had been depressed during the past week. The sales had been at irregular prices, but generally at a decline of 10. to per lb. from the highest point. The damage occasioned by floods iu the cotton districts had been very unimportant.
