AUGUST 17, 1852. cne United The of •• the war-party" States, increased to blood-heat by the contest for the Presidency, may be compared to the " tale told by all idiot," as mentioned by SHAKSPERE, as— , " Full of sound and f u ry, b u t s ignifying nothing.' The rati ena l, th e t hi n ki ng men i n A mer i c a cannot, and raei do not, fraterni z e w ith th a t p ar ty. The corn , men, least of all, can sympathise with it; ect ulle, in very truth, the trade and commerce of '" 4 " 1 " are so interwoven with those of England, that an.in3 n must seriously to them, on either side of the Atlantic, speak 7 thetffect the other. It is all very well to eon, ' trt ties of brotherhood," to allude to situila°rf' gin, the blood, the identity of ori gin, the great tie of language and law, nfror all, i s the betwe en th e t wo na ti ons, unity of interest. I n the relationship beat acknowledged is that be tween the British sovereign riciane eagle and dollar. and flori n an d th e A rne - Brother JONATHAN (for whom we entertain great th respect, though he did not " bear e bell" in the Great Exhibition) is too sagacious, u t p t g u u r ees We scan than to q uarrel with Englan d, his best custom er. b e tter stand the co nse q uenc es of a America. Our t rade with the United States, abundantly extensive and p rofitable as i t is, is rot of such vital consequenc e as our trade with the m. That is, the balance of profit is in favour of America. As it is easy to prove this, we shall state the facts, g i v i ng a bird's-eye glance at the subject so as to bring it before our readers in the plainest manner. The whole exports of British and Irish produce and manufacturers to the United States amount to one-'fifth of our entire exports to all foreign coun tries —or an and Belgium to as tailch . as we send to Fra nce, Germany, glum p u t together, and these are our four best continental customers. If we add the exports from our American and %Vest Indian colo nies, the amount would bd greatly increased. Oa the other hand, the value of one article alone (cotton wool) imported by us from the United States, exceeds 15,000,0001, or snipe Three Millions more than the value cf our whole exports thereto. Besides this, there is the value of the tobacco, rice, bread- stuffs, and other produce received by us from the Americans. _Again, out of a total of nearly 5 , 000 ,000 tons o f British shipping, over 400,000 tons annually enter British ports from the United States ; while, out of over 2,000,000 tons of foreign shipping, nearly 600,000 tons of United States' shipping annually enter our ports, making about one million tons of shipping engaged in the trade with the United States. These are data taken from Parliamentary returns, the truth of which is undisputed. Extensive as is the trade of the United States, (" may its shadow never be less !") that portion with Great Britain and its dependencies is by far the greatest. These, oar imports into the United States, are of the annual value of 86 million dollars out of about 178 million dollars, to the total value of all the imports into the United States :—that i s , our imports into that country are of half t he estimated value of all the annual imports thereto. And, out of the whole shipping of America, three-fifths entered her ports from Britain and British possessions, while, out of about 1,800,000 tons of foreign shipping which have also entered her ports, in 1850, as much as 1,405,245 tons of British shiPPing• en tered American ports, being about seven-ninths of the whole. Therefore, while one-half of the whole foreign trade of the United States is with Great Bri. y for a e n ig d n h s e h r i ppin colonies_ g twin and her dependencies, and while about two- , thirds America c a o l m l t e h e f r o A m m to e th ri i c s a o a u u n d tr the balance of trade is vastly in favour of America We have a right to ask, then, whether brother Jora- THAN, or uncle SAM (which soubriquet he most de lights in we really do not know), can be so foolish as to jeopardize one-half, and by far the most profit able, of his foreign trade, for the vain-glory of wag i n g war with bis best customer ? Neither is it our interest, nor our desire, to have war with America. But we shall not shrink from it, if it come. The Americans, it cannot be denied, have an unmeasurable co • nceit of their own prowess in everything. They are haunted by the idea (or the ghost of an idea, so unsubstantial is it), that we live in bodily fear of th • eir valour, and that we would make any concession to avoid a contest with them. They chuckle ' pi • ng the Britishers," and expectorate their indigna tion along with h• t tobacco-juice. They are not yet, though rapidly adva • ncing, the chief glory of the earth. Every now and then a war breeze rufflea their surface, but it gradually subsides when a counter blast of interest meets it, and when they think how profits will decline if trade be cramped. In a word, Brother JONATHAN reminds us of the gentleman mentioned by BYRON as a model of equanimity, of whom it was said— " Take wives, take lives, take children—he can brook it But—keep your hands from out his breeches' pocket!' Under the term of Reciprocity it is not by any means improbable that the DERBY Cabinet will un dertake the development of the Free Trade system. Treaties of a commercial character are in preparation, we believe, at this moment, between the English Government and the American Government, as well as between the Ministers of Queen VICTORIA and the Minister of Prince NAPOLEON. There is not only, it would appear, a complete apprehension at last by the leading members of the DERBY Administration that Protectionist principles are beyond the reach of revival, but a simultaneous conviction of the necessity of carrying out Sir ROBERT PEEL's policy to the fullest extent compatible with the degree of enlightenment perceptible in the states of Christendom. It is understood that Free Trade as a system is indestructible now that it has been so thoroughly incorporated with the British Constitution. It is understood, moreover, that this Free Trade system is calculated to benefit the Country only to the largest amount when it has been adopted in like manner by the rest of the great Powers in both hemispheres. Without some degree of reciprocation in this way the in fluence of the changes effected by the enactment of 1846, must necessarily prove only one-sided, and therefore but partially beneficial in its operation. It must consequently be obvious that the first effort of the really patriotic statesmen of Great Britain should be directed to the requirement of those concessions from contemporary Governments that would most effectually place the commerce of the world upon a footing of equality. At the pre sent juncture, moreover, there would seem to be every likelihood of eliciting these evidences of homage for the principle of reciprocity from both the French Republican and American Republican Governments. The position of Louis NAPOLEON just now renders it probable that be would be dis posed to enter into some compact of the kind, binding more intimately together the commercial interests of the French Republic and the English Monarchy. The apparent difficulty created by the recent misunderstanding in regard to the North American Fisheries would appear likewise to afford, under the circumstances, a very admirable opportunity for the commencement of a series of changes conferring re ciprocal advantages upon the people of the United States and the United Kingdom. From the embar rassing situation of the DERBY Cabinet meanwhile— a situation compelling them to bring forward measures of advancement, or to withdraw altogether from the conduct of affairs—holds out an additional promise that we may confidently look forward to the arrange ment of those commercial regulations in the way of reciprocity—respectively with the Republican Go vernment at Paris and t he Republican Government at Washington. It was recently said by one of the greatest legs reformers of any age or nation, that the cause of law reform had made greater progress within the last twelve months than during any ten years preceding. He was right. The impolicy and injustice of the system so long in operation is at length clearly re cognised, and men of all classes concur in demanding the speedy abatement of the venerable nuisances. Great changes have already been made in the practice and procedure of the superior Courts of Common Law, and even Chancery itself has been partially purified. The Ecclesiastical Courts have, h o wever, hithert o con trived to obtain an exemption venturedt from all anielioratian. The ancient cobwebs still orn amenttheir wa ll s, an d no d ar i ng i nnova t or h as ventured to tresp ass on t h e sacre d groun d , or at tempted to brush awa y And yet there is, the time -honoured relics.

P ious re Badly, however, as the busines s h as hi therto been performed, there is, it appears, a gr ea t probability of its being altogether left undone. The R eg i strar receives 15,000/. pe r annum for doing nothing— the Deputy Regist rar 3 a bout 1,5001. each for doing little while the workin g staff receive but slender ; pay for doing a great deal.

They are all " his own," and he is r eso l ve d "to do as he l i kes" with for his them, and will not c on d escen d to give r esso ns actions to any imperti nen t querists. IY•reanwhile the unfortunate subordinates are likely to L e left in the lurch. They have heretofore been dep( .ndent on the discount of li per cent. allowed by the C ornmissioners of Inland Revenue on the stamps required in their department. The fund thus formed was divided n , oog the working class, and ga ve a f a i r, b u t by no means exorbitant remuneration f or the labours of each. That allowance has, however, bsen withdrawn, the discount will no longer be sanctioned, si*tant ' and the as tonal Clerks must be contented to I ibour gratui y, u n l es into. a some new arrangement be entered Under these circumstances Mr. M.otatE, the Re gistrar, has naturally b een appealed to ; but the reverend gentleman s trenuously reput liates the idea o f giving any contribution from his en )rmous profits towards the performance of the incident al duties. It is true that his 13 a patent offic e of gi .eat antiquity, and (unfortunately) its duties have aIN vays been per formed by deputy ! But they have hitherto been performed in some way or anothe r, while Mr. MOORE appears disposed to let the tea tators take care of their wills. He rests his case on the fact that there has been no appeal from the parties aggrieved, i. e , underpaid, to the Judge of the court ; nor has there been any censure by the Archbishop of the province, from whose prerogative the patent is de rived. This, moreover, may be quite true without is an y degree affecting the question. The clerks may not have appealed for underpayment, inasmuch as by one of those legal fictions so dear to the ancient l b a n w sin th e e ss a i in n ec p u r r o is p t ria reg p i e s r tr s a o r na is , a s n u d p p t h o e s e o d e t r o k d s o have all t n h o e T th h o ey p e ra ti o n t n io o e t th w e h re io fo h re sa c n o o m ti p o l n ai s n l o cus standi, no r ecogn i se d pos i t i on i n th e c ourt. , t h a e n d a , p p a o c i c o o t r m d i e n n g t to of deputies, the Court will not, so long as the duties are efficiently discharged. But when the clerks desert their stations, when they, refusing to render gratuitous services, abandon Doctors' Com mons, the Court will take cognizance of unrequited duties, and compel Mr. MOORE to provide,an efficient staff, for which he has ample means derived from the profits of his office. The notion that the ARCHBISHOP would interfere is really too rich. The Right Reverend Prelate wil lingly incurred the odium of putting a new name in the patent in order that he might provide hand somely for a youthful relative. Disregarding the example set by his magnanimous predecessor, who refused to bring scandal on the Church by making himself a party to so gross a job, he was scarcely enthroned in his seat when he appointed a new reversioner to the office, who will succeed Mr. MOORE and Lord CANTERBURY in enjoying its sweets. Having thus proved himself so careless respecting public opinion, it can scarcely be supposed that he will initiate any proceedings that could possibly diminish the profits or enhance the labours of his fortunate relative. The subject is, however, in such a position as to ensure inquiry, and the truth must thereby be pro moted. When once the investigation is entered upon, it will not be restricted to the payment of the clerks. The whole constitution and practice of the courts will be inquired into. The question may also arise as to whether the duties could not be as efficiently, as satisfactorily, as e xpeditiously, and far more cheaply performed, and if the answers should be in the affirmative, the entire jurisdic tion may be abolished, or at least amalgamated with others. We believe, and the public coincide in the opinion, that the entire system may be a b ro gated, not only without detriment, but that the change would such be exceedingly beneficial to society, and, being the case, the next year will probably witness its downfall, and the statesman by whom it is effected will earn for himself the thanks and gratitude of the community. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC• Sunday being the Fgte of the Assumption, as well as of NAPOLEON, none of the Paris journals appeared yesterday morning, with the exception of Galignani. The file terminated without accident or disturb ance. The fireworks and illuminations passed off tranquilly. The multitude present was immense be yond all precedent. The ball at the March 6 dee Innocens did not take place at all, a notice being posted up that the high wind had torn off the canvas covering, and that the damage could not be repaired in time. It will take place to-night. We read in the Moniteur of Saturday evening-- "The fete of the 15th will be the occasion of nume rous acts of clemency which will give a fresh proof of the magnanimity of the PRINCH PRESIDENT. The time is passed when amnesties imposed by the exigencies of the press and of political opposi tions were, to the great detriment of public order, an act of weakness on the part of the Government, and a triumph for parties. A general amnesty cannot now be thought of. The Government could not, without compromising public security, the care of which is its first duty, extend that measure to certain men whose only dream is the overthrow of society. But it can, in the full liberty of its initiative, and after serious exa mination, grant pardon to repentant offenders and to the unfortunate persons whom turbulent men have led astray. It has thus reconciled the interests of humanity with those of public tranquillity. It is in this spirit that the PRINCE PRESIDENT has granted full pardon or commutation of punishment to more than 1,200 persons taken from among political priso ners and those condemned for ordinary offences." The Patrie states that the number of political prisoners who have received pardon or commutation of punish ment is 800. asest costs sefitncssfrhdei alle of un egni individuals oevt co n sequence drisnegcia, ulasn PßESlDENT ewdehpe o obo afl r r i oce d ff e hei r inn s ; hpte prison e s aa oygnlalaws, wn foras against immediate entehe and a r f o e n r l d A e e the remission of the fines to which they have been condemned. Vv The Municipal Council at its last sitting voted on the proposition of the Prefect, the following courteous address, in answer to the letter of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the city of London, thanking the Prefect and the Council for the hospitable reception they received at their visit last year, on the occasion of the London Exhibition : " The Prefect of the Seine and the Members of the Municipal Body of Paris, to the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the city of London. " My Lord and Gentlemen,—We have received the courteous address which you have sent to us through his Excellency the British Ambassador. Deeply pene trated by this fresh proof of the close union which exists between England and France, we are gratified at the remembrance which you testify towards us. We, as strongly as yourselves, appreciate the benefits of the happy fraternity which these pacific competitions tend to establish between civilized nations. Under the shelter cf peace, which they strengthen, the arts acquire perfec tion, and industry spreads over the whole world its benefits and its wonders. We, who have been the witnesses of the persevering efforts of our fellow-citizens through the difficult trials which it has pleased God to impose on our nation, see that their labours have been worthily appreciated by you. The artistes and the ar tisans, who were invited by England to this courteous struggle, the only once which is now suited to two great nations, will be grateful for this gracious testimony and will unite with us in rur thanks. We are happy to address them to you in expressing all our wishes for si milar occasions of union and pacific progress." The Bourse, feeble.- at the opening, was very firm at the close of business.

The court was thronged. Count COSTA. arrived at about half-past 10, and took his seat on the prisoner's bench. He wa s received with profound s il en ce by the audience. The clerk then read the indictment, from which it appeared that out of 500 copies of Count COSTA'S book only 74 were seized by the authorities at the house of the defendant, and that 27 pages of the book were incriminated. Advocate TEOMBETTA supported the prosecution, on the part of the Government, on the three counts of offence to the person of the KING, disrespect of the laws, and fervent wishes for the destruction of the Constitutional Government. The first count was proved by passages representing the KING as a mere tool i n t h e h an d s o f a par ty, an d also accusing him of bad faith, for having inditl broken the the existing concordats without the consent of the Holy See. The other counts were pr ov ed by passages wr i tten w ith grea t acr i mon y, in a clerical spirit, an d o th e r s insulting to the national representatives. After an able de fence by Advocate FEanAnis, and a paper read by the defendant, to show that his book was not hostile to the Government, the jury retired about eight P.M., a nd soon after bro ug h t i n a ver di ct o f G u il ty on a ll the counts. The d e f en d ant was sen t ence d t o t wo months'imprisonment and 2,000 francs fine. The audience behaved throughout the trial with the greatest decorum. The Risorgimento states that immediately after his condemnation, Count CosTA. sent in bis reignation as counsellor of the Court of Cassation at Turin. The installation of the Jesuits at S. Giovanni di Verdara of Padua took place on the 3d, in the presence of the authorities. The Bishop of PADUA, Monsignor was absent on the occasion, and sent a dele gate to represent him. The Official Journal of the Two Sicilies announces that the prize of 300 ducats (1,290 francs), offered last year by the Royal Academy of Naples for the best essay on the elliptical motion and perturbations of asteroids, not having been awarded for want of com petitors, the Royal Academy has decided that the above prize shall be awarded to the royal astronomer, M. DE GASPARIS, for his discovery of the planet Pysche, being the sixth planet discovered by this emi nent astronomer. POLAND The Boersen-Halle of Hamburgh of the 13th states that the cholera continued to make dreadful ravages at Warsaw. On the 9th, there were 478 new cases, and 172 deaths. The Germ an J ourna l o f th e E m pi re , u n d er d a t e o f Warsaw, 9th, says :—" The journals announce that the increase of electricity in the air, and the fact that the birds which had disappeared at the first approach of the cholera are now coming back, gives hopes that the scourge will soon cease. A committee of Russian physicians had crossed the frontier to give assistance to the sufferers by the cholera. General HACKEL, the director of the customs at Kalish, on being in formed that they had crossed the frontier without pass port,,, had addressed a sharp reprimand to them, which obliged them to proceed to Warsaw to give explanations. This severity, under existing circum stances, had.produced a considerable sensation." THE WEST INDIA MAIL. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING.

Exchange on London ninety days par. Our correspondence from Jamaica gives a gloomy picture of the agricultural prospects and distress of the colony, aggravated by the disease prevalent in various parts. The island had been visited with some severe shocks of an earthquake, which greatly alarmed the inhabitants. The emigration movement to Aus tralia had somewhat subsided. St. Lucia was healthy, and seasonable rains had fallen. Accounts from Barbadoes state that the sugar crop of 1852 is entirely closed. Th e young canes f o r the ne xt crop continued to wear a healthy appearance. A fearful accident had occurred in Trinidad. The boilers of the steamer Victoria burst on the passage f ro m Port of Spain to San Fernando, killing and wounding several persons. Some rich specimens of gold, found at the Upata di gg i n gs, in Venezuela, h a d b een ex hibi te d i n Trini dad, and sold for 2241. sterling.—Times. C REMORNE GARD ENS. yesterday evening a crowd of distinguished visitors thronged these grounds to witness the repetition of the daring feats performed on Monday last by M. Edward Bouthellier, better known as one of the Italian Brothers, who is at present engaged in t Soul liar's Cirque Orien tal, at Cremorne Gardens, and who was a nnounced to repeat th e as t oun ding f ea t w hi c h cau sed so much interest when first performed. The balloon, b ein g well inflated, commenced its ascent exact ly at seven o'clock, and th e i n tr e pid g y mnas t w h o accompan b ie y d h t i h s e ha a n e d ro s n t a o u t t h s voyage e in tr th ap e e ir zea was seen o hanging wood), about 12 feet bel ow th e car, h av i ng no ot h er small bar between him and mot h er earth.

It is not easy duo ilr;ed himself up slowly, to describe his performances. To those who remem ber the marvellous evolutions on the trapeze, per formed by the Italian Brothers last year in Drury lane Theatre, and repeated with such success this season at Cremorne, it will be enough to say that every single feat was performed by this daring gy m . nest, even when the balloon was at an elevation of more than half a mile, and continued throughout the whole of the aerial voyage. By others these sur prising fea ts must be see n to be concei ved, con sisting as they do of sus p ension by the arm , leg , head, and feet, nod the moA surprising gymnastic evolutions, with no support but a small bar of wood.

There was no particular change h in the usual swum programme, saving, perhaps,t at the fireworks were on a psolecasietoyromgursotuenreilds of the o n s um ur e r r o o y u greater scale, and, if possible, more brilliant than usual. Otherwise the usual routine was gone through. The mena geries were visited, the elephants . had trains of admirers and riders, and Etna, with juvenile h its de • ceptive imitations of distances, produced its momentary bewildering effect spectators. The concert included, upon unprepared the vocal talents of Miss Messent, Miss Ci ce l y Nott, and Messrs. Leffler, slanvers, and Young, while M r. Richardson, as usual, delighted the audience vith his very n ea t and deli cate flute-playing. But perhaps the_ most pleasing f eature of o all was the very large collection f happy and respectable ie family groups, evidently good folks connected with th • appeared in stitution, who crowded the grounds and highly to enjoy their annual f7.:te, which we sincerely ho p e may have proved a productive one. The clearances from the port of London for the gold colonies of Australia during the past week agai n show an increase. They consisted of seven ships to Port Philip, o f an aggregate capacity o f 3,760 tons, and of two ships for Sydney, of 1,526 tons. There were also two to Hobart town, Yan Diemen's Land, of a joint capacity o f 832 tons. The exports likewise continue large, particularly of beer. The demand fur passag es has perhaps slightly abated, b u t the number of emigrants is still very large, and the total for the week from London a l o ne is supposed not to have b een mush below 1,000. Letters from Rouen mention that, although the market for manufactures was well maintaiaed, business w as not so active as had been anticipated. The attendance of buyers, nevertheless, continued numerous. GREAT YARMOUTH ELECTION. —The Liberal elec tors of Great Yarmouth have decided to prosecute a petition to Parliament against the ret urn of Sir E. H. K.

CITY, TW 0 O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 12,000 bales, of which 1,000 American and 700 Pernam and Maranham were taken for export, and 4,000 American and 400 Pernam and Maranham on speculation. Tho market closed firmly, American *d. to id., and Surat 1.160_ p'r I h. dearer . pribed 10,000 American, 850 Pernam and Maranham, at 60. to 6-44.; 600 Egyptian, at 6d. to Is. id.; and 500 Surat, at 3; 4 '-d. to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull, and prices further depressed. The New York advices, by the America, are decidedly favourable. The Money Market was comparatively easy, and the tendency of stocks was upwards. The excitement on the question of the North-Eastern fisheries had greatly abated, and in the best-informed quarters a pacific . adjustment was confidently anticipated. The news from Mexico was not of much interest. We have not received any later intelligence from California. The English Funds have advanced about three-eighths per cent., the satisfactory change in the weather, to gether with the tenor of the advices from America, having brought in purchases. It is not now apprehended that the least difficulty will arise in the adjustment of the fisheries question, and it is even asserted in some quarters that an arrangement has already been effected.

In the Foreign Stock Market business has improved. The operations have, however, been principally specula live. Mexican for the moment attracts the chief atten tion, and is quoted at an advance of nearly per cent. Spanish is rather heavy; so also is Peruvian, which has latterly suffered from sales. Mexican is marked 25i to i; Spanish Passive 51- to 6; Russianll9i to 1201; bar dinian 94i; and Brazilian 101 to 102. The railway account is now regarded as finally closed. The market remains in a quiet position; prices, in one or two especial cases, are slightly better, but on the average no great change is noticeable. Money through out the adjustment has brought remunerative rates of interest, the credit of borrowers alone regulating the rate demanded.
