TWENTY THOUSAND SAILORS!! 0 I. never did Thames on his waters unfold A sight so imposing—a movement so bold. Twenty thousand bold mariners—oceaa's best gems— Assembled en mass* ell the breast of the Thames. Astounding to witness the boats and the steamers, The 6 ' bonnie blue jackets," the colours and streamers. This aquatic procession would cast in the shade The sights of Queen Bess with her heat cavalcade. The scene on the Thames was a scene that must claim A thrill from the heart, be it ever so tame. And hundreds of thousaeds of different ranks, Throng'd Thames's broad bridges and mercantile banks. The spectacle seen was essenlially one To bring to the mind Messrs. MOSES and SON, As the newly-clad seame n appeared fore and aft, A moving assemblage in hundreds of craft. The smiling spectator must surely have thought, Of the outfits of MOSES, so skilfully wrought. Ev'ry day at the warehouse of MOSES we view, The sons of the ocean in " jackets of blue," And Mifflin; how MOSES and SON can equip, They never feel inclined to " furesake the old ship." The scene on the shore was essentially one To remind the observer of MOSE and SON, Both ladles and gentlemen show'd in their dress, A beauty to rival the Jays of Queen Bess; And never did Thames on his waters unfold A sight Si imposing —a movement so bold.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible.

This state of things was likely to continue as long as the war continued. Stocks were rapidly depre ciating in value. The Government could not get money from abroad, because other nations had no money to spare, and, if they had, they would have no sympathy in this war, and would not aid in its prosecution by advancing m ciney for that purpose. In every point of view in which the subject presented itself, he could only see an embarrassed Treasury and a distressed community. Our accounts from Mexico rsre of a more satisfac tory nature. The New York .;Herald says : "We have special news of a treaty of peace with Mexico. That a treaty has b( !en made by Mr. Trist, in spite of his recal, in conjunction with General Scott, in spite of his suspension, we have positive in telligence of. This treaty has; not yet been received at Washington, but is expected by the next arrival from Vera Cruz. The terms, however, are known in Washington, and they are disapproved by the Cabinet. We don't know positively what Mr. Polk thinks of it; but he may offer it to the. Senate. It is supposed that General Scott and Mr. Trist have made the treaty on their own hook, without regard or in oppo sition to the Executive." It was rumoured that Herrera had been elected President, and that an armistice for three months had been agreed upon. The following are the terms offered by the United States in the last unsuccessful negotiation : " Ist. The Rio Grande, from ;the Gulf to the in tersection with the southern boundary of New Mexico, in about latitude 32. " 2d. The cession of the provinces of New Mexico and the Californias ; and _ . . " I3d. The right of way across the isthmus of Tehuantepec. " The first two points were considered as a sine qua non, upon compliance with which the American negotiator was authorised to stipulate for the re storation to Mexico of all other conquests ; and, further, for the payment of such additional pecuniary consideration over and above the amount of claims upon Mexico as might be deemed reasonable." It is reported in the Mexican papers that Santa Anna had embarked at Acapulco for the port of San Blas. Illustrated by 25 Anatomical Coloured Engravings on Steel.

AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. By the Royal Mail steamship Cambria, Captain Harrison, we have advices from New York to the 29th ult., and Halifax to the Ist inst. The Cambria has brought 10,0001. in specie on freight. The steam-ship Acadia had arrived out. The Royal Mail steamship Thames arrived at Ship Bland, New Orleans, on the 13th ult., from Havannah. The steamer Yallabusha, with a heavy] cargo of cotton, bound for New Orleans, was entirelr'de-. stroyed by fire on the 18th ult., and 40 persons iere supposed to have perished with her. • A great fire, consuming several warehouses, took place at Havannah on the night of the 13th ult. A Whig " caucus," held at Washington on the 2lth, had determined to recommend a national con vention for the nomination of President and Vice- President. Congress is still in „full deliberation upon the measures MI continuing the war with Mexico. The Bill asking for the ten new regiments is still in the Senate. • - The Treasury would ieiy soon need replenishing. According to the 'estimates of the Secretary 18,000,000 dolls. would be needed before the 30th of June next. Accordingly, a Bill has been reported in the House of Representatives, authorising a loan to that amount, limiting the interest to 6 per cent. for a stock having 20 years to run, and which must not be sold under par. In Congress on the 20th Mr. Mangum submitted resolutions calling for the instructions under which General Scott's " order," No. 379, was issued, and also his opinion as to the efficiency of his means to carry the same into effect. The resolutions led to a sharp debate between Messrs. Mangum, Cass, Crit tenden, and Allen. Mr. Mangum stated that he had two objects in presenting these resolutions. First, to know the extent of the Executive purpose on the subject of the conquest of Mexico; secondly, to ascertain the opinions of the highest military authority as to the means of carrying out this pur pose. He expressed his surprise at the tenderness of gentlemen on the other side whenever infor mation was sought for. Mr. Cass said he was not tender of the Executive, but of the honour of the country. He did not wish to enlighten the Mexi cans. Desirous as he was to give every information to Congress, he hoped the President would come out fully and plainly and say,it was his design to conquer the whole of Mexico ; but as to holding Mexico, that was a different question. Mr. Crittenden replied in a tone of strong sascasm on the subject of the Execu tive withholding light from Congress, lest the enemy should be benefited by it. All that was here asked for was only information necessary to enable the COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Senate to form a correct judgment on matters sub- NEW YORK, JAN. 29. mitted to it for legislation.

A train, under the command of Colonel Miles, had been attacked and plundered by a. guerilla party. The loss of goods falls principally on the merchants, one English house losing 54,000 dollars. The French and Spanish merchants recovered their goods by pay ing smartly. The portion of the train cut off had incautiously lagged behind. Colonel Miles could not wait for them to come up, but left a guard of 25 men behind, which was totally inadequate against the sud den onset of 400 guerilleros. From Canada we learn that the elections had taken place, and that the Radical party had gained the majority. In the city of Montreal formidable riots had taken place, and the mob held possession of the place for two days. 9i 100 100 100 i 1001 101 i 101 102 101-1 102 104 102 101 k 104 961 97 96 97 96. 97 97 98 96 97 94 94i 94 1 941 94i 941 95 97 101} 104 95i 96 9.5 i 96 96 964 881 89 •.• 95} 96 ... 76 80 40 41 34i 36 80i 50/ 25 35 ... 60 62 ... 71 71 ... ••• ... 79 81 ... 85s 85i 97 100 83 85 104 107 102 103 90 92 89} 90 89 90 98 99 Sl7 Ny FEBRUARY 14, 1848.

AFFAIRS OF ITALY. COMMUNICATION FROM THE AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT AS TO THE TERRITORIAL ARRANGEMENTS AND PO LITICAL CONDITION OF ITALY, TOGETHER WITH THE REPLY OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. No. I—(Translation.) PRINCE METTERNICH TO COUNT DIETRICIISTEIN. (Communicated to Viscount Palmerston by Count Dietrichstein, August 11.) " Vienna, Aug. 2, 1847. " M. Le Comte—The position of the central states of Italy engages, doubtlessly, the attention of the Court of London. These states are agitated at this moment by a spirit of subversion, the consequences of which are but too easy to foresee. The geographical position of our empire imposes upon us the duty to regard, with redoubled attention, the course of events in that country. " The Emperor wishes to explain his sentiments on this occasion with the frankness with which he has been accustomed to address the Government of Great Britain, and desires to know the determination of that Government on the state of things which his Imperial Majesty considers a proper basis for the future. "Italy is a geographical expression. The Italian Peninsula is composed of sovereign states, mutually independent. The existence and the territorial limits of these states are founded upon principles of general right, and guaranteed by political acts of undoubted authority. The Emperor, for his part, is resolved to respect those rights, and to contribute all in his power to their maintenance. " You will communicate, M. Le Comte, this dispatch to the Chief Secretary of State, and beg of him to explain the views of the Court of London respecting the nature of those guarantees under which the possessions of the sovereigns who reign in Italy are placed. You will at the same time add, that the Emperor does not doubt of the complete accord which must exist in his opinions and those of her Britannic Majesty on this subject.—Receive the assurances, &c., (Signed) " METTERNICH." " Vienna, Aug. 2, 1847. "M. Le Comte The preceding dispatch is directed at the same time to the Courts of Paris, of Berlin, and of St. Petersburgh. The subject is not interesting to our empire alone. It has the importance of a great European question. " Central Italy is delivered up to a revolutionary movement, at the head of which are to be found the chiefs - of those political sects which have for some years threatened the states of the Peninsula. Under the banner of administrative reform, to which the Roman Sovereign has yielded through undoubted benevolence towards his people, the factious have paralysed the steady action of power, and seek to con summate a work which cannot, to suit their views, be confined within the States of the Church, nor to any part of the Peninsula. These sects require a single political head, or at least a fedeaation of states placed under the control of a central supreme power. An Italian monarchy does not enter into their plans. An abstraction of Utopian Radicalism is the advance which they contemplate. No possible king of such a monarchy exists on either side of the Alps. It is towards the creation of a federative republic, after the model of North America or of Switzerland, that their hopes are led. " The Emperor, our august master, does not pre tend to be an Italian power. He contents himself with being the chief of his own empire. Some parts of his empire extend beyond the Alps. He desires to maintain them. Beyond them he demands no actual possession ; he but wishes to defend his own. Such, M. l'Ambassadeur, are the views of his Impe rial Majesty ; they ought to be the views of any Go vernment that wishes to maintain its rights and res pect its duties. " We place a great question of the day on the broadest political basis. We wish to know if the great guardians of political peace partake our views. We pretend to no social or governmental polemics ; but we speak of that which is equally valuable to kings and to people, and which must before long decide the peace of Europe. The subject is too grave not to render necessary an appeal to all Go vernments that are not willing to entrust the future to the incalculable chances of general disturbance. " Receive, &c. (Signed) " mETT ERNIC II." VISCOUNT PALM ERSTON TO YISCOUNT PONSONTIT. " My Lord,—Count Dietrichstein read to me yes terday two dispatches addressed to him by Prince Metternich about the affairs of Italy. " The first of these dispatches expresses the wish of the Austrian Government to know whether her Majesty's Government admit the principle that the state of possession established in Italy by the Treaty of Vienna ought to he maintained ; and it also declares the determination of the Emperor of Austria to defend his Italian territories against any attack. The second dispatch relates to a scheme which the Cabinet of Vienna supposes to be entertained by some parties in Italy, to unite the greater part of Italy in one federal republic; and the dispatch at the same time explains reasons—social, poiltical, and geographical—whi c h, in the opinion of the Austrian Government, must render such a scheme impracticable. " I have now to instruct your Excellency, in reply to the inquiry contained in the first of the above mentioned dispatches, to assure Prince Metternich that her Majesty's Government are of opinion that the stipulations and engagements of the Treaty of Vienna ought to be adhered to in Italy, as well as in all other parts of Europe to which they apply ; and that no change can properly be made in the territo rial arrangements which were established by that treaty without the consent and concurrence of all the Powers who were parties to it. This opinion her Majesty's Government have had occasion not long ago to express to the Cabinet of Vienna, and this opinion her Majesty's Government still entertain. " But her Majesty's Government are glad to think that it does not at present appear to be likely that any events will happen in Italy to which the principle in volved in that opinion would practically apply ; for her Majesty's Government are not aware that any European power or state meditates any attack upon, or invasion of the territories of any Italian state ; and therefore her Majesty's Government, fully sharing that legitimate sense of the right of possession which leads the Government of Austria to declare its de termination to defend the Emperor's Italian posses sions, yet hope arid trust that no event is at present impending which would render it necessary that this determination should be carried into practical exe cution. " With reference, however, to the posture of things in Italy, her Majesty's Government would wish to observe that there is another right besides that of self-defence and self-maintenance, which is inherent in independent sovereignty, and that is the right which belongs to the sovereign power in every state to make such reforms and internal improvements as may be judged by such sovereign power proper to te made, and conducive to the well-being of the people whom it governs. " That right it appears that some of the sovereigns of Italy are now willing and prepared to exercise, and her Majesty's Government would hope that the Government of Austria may think fit to employ that great political influence which Austria legiti mately possesses in Italy with s view to encourage and support those sovereigns in such laudable under takings.

But,n for the reason s of those states, and more especially in the Roman states and in the kingdom of Naples, are known to be, it cannot be surprising that such crying evils should generate the strongest discontent ; and it is very pos sible that men who feel the full intensity of the grievances under which they now are, and have for a long series of years been suffering, and who see no hope of redress from their present rulers, should take up any scheme, however wild, from which they may fancy they could derive a chance of relief. " This observation does not indeed apply with full force to the Roman states, because 'the present Pope has shown a desire to adopt many of those much needed reforms and improvements which in 1832, Austria, in conjunction with Great Britain, France, Russia, and Prussia, urgently advised the late Pope to carry into execution ; and it may be hoped that if the Pope is encouraged and assisted by Austria and the other four powers in removing the grievances of which his subjects have long complained, the dis content which those grievances have created will soon die away. " But there are other states of Italy, and more especially the kingdom of Naples, where reforms and improvements are required almost as much as in the Roman tinitOrY ; i d ber Ilajesty's Government f would hope that, as no European power is more is terested than Austria in preserving the internal tranquillity of Italy, so will the great and well known influence of Austria in Naples be beneficially > exercised in encouraging those reforms and improve nts which will tend to remove the discontent, m which alone would spring any dangers by which that tranquillity is likely to be threatened.

" My Lord,—The Cabinet °Vienna having recently addressed a communication to the Cabinet of London, for the purpose of ascertaining the sentiments and opinions of the British Government upon the present state of affairs in Italy, to which communication her Majesty's Government made, through your Excel lency, a reply, her Majesty's Government are con vinced that the Government of Austria will receive in the same friendly spirit in which it is conceived the further communication which your Excellency is by this dispatch instructed to make to his Highness the Prince Metternich in regard to these affairs. But indeed the ancient alliance and long-established con fidence which unite the Governments of Great Britain mid Austria would at all events render it the duty of her Majesty's Government to explain frankly and without reserve, to the Austrian Government, the views and sentiments of the Government of Great Britain upon events which are either happening or likely to happen in Italy, and which, by their bearing and importance, must necessarily be of great Euro pean...interest. _ " The Austrian Government has recently asked, and has received the assent of the Government of Great Britain to the principle, that the several states into which Italy is divided are entitled to maintain and defend their independence ; and that this inde pondenoo ought to be respected, and to be held inviolate by all the otner powers of Europe ; and her Majesty's Government, in expressing their assent to this indis putable proposition, coupled with it another which they conceive to be equally undeniable, that every indepen dent Sovereign has a right to make, within his own dominions, such reforms and improvements as he may judge conducive to the welfare of the people whom he governs ; and that no other Government can be entitled to forbid or to restrain such an exercise of one of the proper attributes of independent sove reignty; and her Majesty's Government are convinced that the Cabinet of Vienna must be ready to acknow ledge so plain a political truth. Whatever reports, therefore, may have reached her Majesty's Govern ment as to late transactions and recent diplomatic communications in Italy, they are persuaded that the Government of Austria cannot contemplate or have authorised any proceedings at variance with the prin ciples above mentioned ; and that neither with regard to the King of Sardinia, nor with regard to the Pope, can the Austrian Government have any intention of converting any measures of internal legislation or administrative reform which those Sovereigns may think fit to adopt in their respective dominions, into an occasion for any aggression whatever upon their territories or rights. Her Majesty's Government, indeed, would deeply regret the occurrence of events which it would be impossible for Great Britain to view with indifference. " The Crowns of Great Britain and of Sardinia have long been bound together by the ties of faithful and intimate alliance ; and Great Britain can never forget or repudiate claims founded upon such honourable grounds. . _ " The integrity of the Roman State may be con sidered as an essential element of the political inde pendence of the Italian peninsula; and no invasion of the territory of that State could take place without leading to consequence of great gravity and import ance. " Your Excellency will read this dispatch to Prince Metternich, and will give him a copy of it. "I am, &c. (Signed) " PALMERSTON." DEATH OF A LADY NINETY-ONE YEARS Or AGM. —On Saturday evening, Mr. W. Carter held an inquest at the Swan Tavern, Stockwell, upon the body of Mrs. Caroline Beton, who had attained the extraordinary age of 91 years. Deceased resided with some of the younger branches of the family, at No. 10, Stockwell-villas. Her advanced period of life kept her confined to her room, which was the second floor back. She was, as might be supposed, exceedingly feeble, but enjoyed tolerably good health. The last time she was seen alive was on Wed nesday afternoon, when she partook of her dinner in bed, and in half an hour after the servant had waited upon her she was found lying on the stairs in the yard, with her skull frightfully fractured,:her right arm broke, and quite dead. The window had been opened to venti late the apartment, and it is supposed that the unfortu nate old lady had got out of bed to shut it, and over balancing herself, she met the death described. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."

KING ARTIIITR.—The reading public, we under :Lind, must be prepared to meet with some singular coincidences in certain of the principal characters intro duced into this new poem by the author of " The New Timon." Among them a Vandal King and his chief minister, are said to bear an extraordinary resemblance to a neighbouring monarch and his confidential counsel lor, whose political charlatanism has lately attracted the attention of the whole civilised world. We should not at all wonder if this were to be quoted as a new case against " Perfide Albion ;" nor be very greatly surprised should it so disturb the entente cordiale as to render the long threatened invasion inevitable. fIEADACIIE, BILE, APOPLEXY, AND COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM IMPURITY OF BLOOD CURED BY HOL LOWAY'S PILLS.—The regenerating properties of this wonder-working medicine are so powerful that all who suff, r from disordered stomachs, indigestion, bile, sick headache, or dimness of sight, originating from the im purity of the blood, should have immediate recourse to Holloway's Pills, which act so directly on the system that a few doses will remove every unpleasant symptom, thus preventing the danger of apoplexy and the over flow of blood to the head.

COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT WEST Bnostwicu.—A coroner's inquest was held on Friday at West Bromwich to inquire into the cause of the fatal catastrophe whi c h occurred at this pit. Several witnesses who were in th e pit just previous to the explosion considered th e yen ' tilation perfect, and perceived no smell of sulphur. Until some of the men who were down at the time of the accident are sufficiently recovered to give evidence no decided opinion can be given on the subject. There were two satety-lanip s i n t h e p i t at the t i me of t h e explosion. Mr. Ceoksey, surveyor o f co lli ery wor k s , VMS examined, and has given an account of the state of the pit. It is due to th e l essees o f th e pit to s t a t e th a t the men in their employ, w ho were in the works on the morning of the calamity, speak of them in terms of the highest respect, and make no charge against them of negligence or indifference to their safety. Amongst the colliers the accident seems to be treated as one of almost constant occurrence, to which all miners are more or less exposed, and which it is almost impossible by any precaution under certain states of the atmoaphere to prevent. The inquiry was adjourned until hiday next. LIVERPOOL, Saturday.--We believe it may be stated with unquestionable truth, that the British Go. vernment has entirely failed in its desire to arrange the postal difficulties which for some time have existed with the American Government.

GRAPES FROM GOODMAN'S FIELDS.—The Gar deners' Chronicle states, on the authority of a corm pondetit, that a dish of fine black Ilainburgh grapes was cut for dessert from it vinery in Great Prescot-street, Goodman's-fields, on the 3d of the present month of February. They were perfectly sound and well coloured, and were equal in appearance and infinite* superior in quality, to a dish of very good black foreign grapes placed alongside of them. SACRlLEGE.—Yesterday morning it was discovered that the Roman Catholic Chapel, Duncan-street, Isling ton, had been burglariously entered, and the silver, ceborums, chalices, patens, &0., used in the service of the mass, the property of the Rev.

It is said to be from the wretched woman who now lies under sentence of death for the murder of the two children of Robert Blake, to whom it is ad dressed:— " Dear Robert,—This is the last time you will ever receive advice from me. My days are numbered; this day fortnight I shall be silent in the grave. Take, therefore these few lines into consideration; never again trifle with a woma❑ as you have with me. Promise to forsake all others, and cling once again to her who ought to hold the only place in your heart—the wife of your bosom. 7 his, Robert, is what I sincerely wish. I have deeply injured her, and so have you. Let her, then, after this, hare your best and purest affections. Ola! Robert, had we parted long since, as I requested, my life, and that of those who were near and (tear to you, would have been spared. I deserve my awful fate, and God give me strength to go through all ; and, dear Ro bert, pray that when the bitter cup has passed I may be received by Him who drank a more bitter one than mine to save us all. God in mercy forgive us! I freely forgive you all your wrongs to me. I have prayed that Ile will fit you for the heavy trial I hare brought upon you ; and, oh, may „ e yet meet in that land in which sorrow and misery will flee away! I only ask that you will some times shed the tear of pity and forgiveness over my unfortunate lot. You may yet be happy in this world with Esther. Your innocent children are, I trust, in Heaven. This is to nie great comfort, and I pray that it may be to you. Awful as my fate is, I would rather die than live again the wretched life I have done for the last twelve months. Be assured, Robert, and remember that those who break the sacred tie pledged at the altar of God Will never prosper; more than one within these walls can testify to the truth of this by bitter expe rience. It has brought us to misery, shame, and sorrow. The heart of man can hardly pity us: only one shed a tear of sorrow on ray misery at my trial—that was Mrs. Moore. I wish you to pay some little debts for me. I shall die much happier if you will. I owe the milk woman eightpenco. Bridget did one half day's work for me, and likewise Mrs. Washington a trifle, and the greengrocer for coals, I think 2s. 6d. Be sure and answer this directly, and tell me you will comply with my last request. Likewise get my issarria,qe lines from Mrs. Mears; you can enclose it in the letter; it will be a satisfaction to all. Now, Robert, I must conclude, and that God in mercy may forgive, bless, and prosper you and yours, is the sincere prayer of the heart that dic tated these lines.—From the unfortunate " HARRIET PARKER." MAR YLEBONE VESTRY.—On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebone Vestry (the Rev. Dr. Spry in the chair), Mr. Flood, the vestry-clerk, brought up the report from the Committees of Delegates appointed to wait on the Chancellor of the Exchequer with respect to a repeal of the window duties. The details of the deputation have already appeared in o ur co l umns . M r . Joseph, in moving the adoption of the report, said he was anything but satisfied with the tone exhibited by tho Chancellor of the Exchequer, as leading to a belief that the Government would abolish the window duties. Mr. 11. C. Wilson seconded the motion, but must say that he entirely differed from his friend Mr. Joseph as to the probability of the Government removing the tax. He considered that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was evidently aware that ho could not defend the continuance of the tax, and he believed that the Government were most anxious to reduce the burthens of the people if possible.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution was adopted and entered on the minutes. The vestry-clerk read a communication from Mr. George Daniell, stating that in consequence of the persecution and intimidation, not to say personal insults, he had to encounter out of doors, consequent on his determination to give free expression to his opinion as a member of the vestry, he begged to tender his resignation as a member of that board and as a commissioner of public baths and washhouses. Mr. H. C. Wilson expressed his very great regret that Mr. Daniell should have come to such a de termination. The vestry could ill afford to lose the truly valuable services of that gentleman. He most reluctantly moved that the resignation be accepted. Mr. Potter suggested that the reception of such a resolution should be postponed, in order to afford an opportunity for the friends of Mr. Daniell to induce him to relinquish a determination which would be fraught with so much injury to the parish. Mr. Charles Elliott (deputy lieu tenant of the county) hoped that they would not accept this resignation, as the loss of Mr. Daniell's services would be a serious calamity to the parish. Sir James Hamilton concurred with tho last speaker. The recep tion of the resignation was then deferred till Saturday next. THE AVENGER.—COURT.MARTIAL ON LIEUTENANT ROOICE.—A court-martial assembled on the 31st of January on board the Trafalgar, to try Lieut. Rooke and the survivors of the Avenger for the loss of th at ship on the Sorelle rocks, off Galita, on the night of the 20th of December, 1847. The court lasted two d a y s. The prisoners were honourably acquitted, and Lieu tenant Rooke was highly complimented by the cou r t f or hit skill and gallantry in reaching the shore i n a sma ll boat, and saving even four lives. A questio n was put to Lieutenant Rooke, " Whether the Avenger had any Mediterranean charts on board?" lie replied " Ile did not know!" It is a well known fact that, although the charts arc public property, and intended for the use of all the officers of the ships of war, yet in many vessels no persons but the Captain and master ever see them; thus the vessel is left to the infallibility of two indivi duals, and meets with some catastrophe, which, had the charts been open for the use of the lieutenants, mates, and second masters, would probably have been avoided.
