They have effected an engagement with Mr. James Russell, long and favour ably known to the playgoers of the metropolis, to give a series of Shaksperian readings three days in the week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, at half-past three o'clock; each lecture to be limited to three quarters of an hour. The first reading took place yesterday, and consisted of selections from the Merchant of Venice. Three scenes were given. The first, where Bassanio applies to Antonio for his assistance to enable him to try his fortune with Portia ; then that with Shylock, when applying to him to grant the loan on Antonio's security ; and, thirdly, the trial scene. Mr. Russell accom plished his task with much ability and judgment. He kept the characters perfectly distinct, and varied the intonations of his voice to suit the different speakers. The deep passion of revenge, indul ge d hisi by the merciless Shylock, exultation when, as he conceiv . ed wae ht e w u e n l f l ort e u x nFit r e e!B ni e jchant was in his power, and his praises . of the wise young judge, were admirably given. The beautiful address of Portia, too, when calling on the Jew to show mercy, was well delivered. The readings were listened to with much attention by the audience, and there were repeated bursts of applause, which wa s unanimously gi ven at the conclusion. We can strongl y reco mmend our readers to avail themselves of the oppor tunity thus afford ed by the enterprising managers. The late lamented Mr. Youatt, in one of his ora tions to the members of the Veterinary College, observes— " That by the improvements in modern chemistry, the medical profession are enabled successfully to treat diseases which were previously supposed as not within the reach of medicine." The truth has been manifested for many years, but in no instance of greater importance to mankind than by the discovery of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. METROPOLITAN BENEFIT SOCIETIES' ASYLUM.-- On Monday evening last, the sixth annniversary of the Auxiliaries of this excellent Institution was celebrated by a supper at the King's Arms Tavern, Rolls-buildings, Fetter lane, when about sixty gentlemen partook of an entertain ment, which was served up in a manner which reflected great credit to the worthy landlord, Mr. Eardley. Mr. Dean presided as Chairman, and Mr. Porter ( the respected host the J h of a of Jerusalem, Clerkenwell ) officiated as Deputy, and were sup ported, among others, by the following influential members of the Society: Messrs. Bowles, Buckland, M‘Ceraibgehrst Chubb, Gilbert, Hopkins, Bell, an d Wil d. After the cloth ' had been drawn, the Chairman proposed the health of " Her Majesty, the Duchess of Kent, and the rest of the Royal Family," which was received with demonstrations of respect ; after which, Mr. Buckland sang an appropri a t e song. The Chairman then, in a f ew remarks, gave "Succes s t o th e Metropolitan Benefit Societies'Asylum," which was greeted with much applause. This toast was acknowledged by Mr. Bowles, in an interesting exposition of th e r i se an d p rogres s of the Instit u ti on, which was listened to with great attention, and warmly applauded. At its close, the healths of Lord Robert Grosvenor and Viscount Ebrington (who is to Pre side as Ch a i rman of the Parent Society at the dinner in May) were severally given, and acknowledged, on the part of their Lordships, in a very neat speech, by Mr. Buckland. The Chairman, in proposing the health of the Committee, spoke of the great exertions they had made in furthering the interests of the Society. Mr. Chubb, on behalf of himself and colleagues, returned thanks. The healths of Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Cole, the Secretary, Mr. Eardley, the Chairman, and Deputy were afterwards given, an d respectively acknowledged, and the party broke up at a ate hour, evidently much grati fied by the evening's proceedings.

HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet- Street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. 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.

AMERICAN NEWS. FIFTEEN DAYS LATER. ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. (PROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, TUE,DAY. The Cambria steam ship arrived here from Boston and Halifax this morning. Her passage was somewhat protracted in consequence of the state of the weather. Her dates are—New York, Feb. 27 ; Washington, 26 ; New Orleans, 19 ; Boston, March 1; and Halifax, March 3. The news is important. The commercial news taken out by the Cambria had at first the effect of depressing the grain market, but prices had again began to rise before she sailed for Europe. A great decline had taken place in the price of cotton subsequent to the arrival of the Sarah Sands and the Cambria. Freights continued to be enormously high. As the state of the markets is to the English reader a matter of the greatest importance, we prefer giving them the most prominent place in our present report. The following is the COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. _ NEW YORK.—The markets continued steady for bread stuffs, with moderate transactions. There was some better feeling in the flour market, and large sales of Genesee could have been made without difficulty on the spot, at 7 dolls. Sales deliverable In May, cogtine*to be-vne attsiolla. It Osseo-reported on 'change thlsticeitis Tiiiirbeen made to arrive at the probable stock of flour in this market, and that it was thought that 120,000 barrels would cover all in the city, including the stock in first hands, variously estimated at 50,000 a 70,000 barrels, and the supplies held on speculation with stocks in the hands of the milling and retail trade. It must be borne in mind, however, that to arrive at an exact estimate of the total amount of stock is attended with much difficulty, and the above statement may amount to something over the mark, or fall a little short of it. Be this as it may, it is agreed upon all hands, that the stock is very low compared with that of last year at the same period, and should the river remain closed till late in the season, this fact would of itself be sufficient to stiffen prices. The stock in Phila delphia and Baltimore is said to be good; but the freights on it from those ports to New York cost about 50 cents per barrel, or more from the latter. Until the canals open, large additional supplies cannot be expected to arrive to replace the deficiencies, at any material re duction in the present cost of transportation. In wheat, sales were chiefly confined to lots from the country, ad jacent to the city, at full prices. In corn, there was less done, without change in prices, except that the article was feeble at a dollar. Provisions were in less re quest, and small sales of prime pork were made at a decline of 50 cents per barrel since the forepart of the week. Mess ditto was offered in a small way, at a reduction of 25 cents per barrel, without buyers. This decline was attributed to increased tightness of money in Wall -street. In beef, the market was firm, while in lard and other descriptions of pro visions there was no change. Groceries continue steady at previous rates. PROVISIONS.—Under the reported influence of some in creased pressure in the money market, the prices of pork gave way, and we report sales of 200 barrels of prime at 12 dolls. 50 cents ; and a small lot of mess was offered at 14 dolls. 75 cents, without finding a purchaser. Beef, we re port a sale of 100 barrels of country mess, at 12 dolls. Lard continued steady at I 0 cents for old, and 11 cents for new, but we heard of no sales. There was no change in cheese or butter. No large sales of smoked or pickled meats were reported. RlCE.—High rates still acted as a check upon operations. Last sales of good to prime were made at 4 dolls. 47i cents to 4 dolls. 75 cents. Fancy qualities were held at 5 dolls., with small sales. BowroN, Fin. 25, r sr.—Flour Good common brands Genesee are held at 6 dolls 87 cents to 7 dolls per barrel, and stock in first hands comparatively light ; the receipts per railroad have materially fallen off since the late snow storm. FaL.cy brands, there is a better supply. Corn—Very little doing; yellow round at railroad was sold this morning at 1 doll ; ditto fiat is worth 94 cents to 95 cents per bushel, — t i i s n ce p t o h rt e fi r t s o t o E f J o ro an p tia , ry ( p t h r i e n r o e i p h a a l sr l ' y e beenm e u o r e x . p o F r e t b e r d u a from 26 Ireland) ten thousand nine hundred and sixteen barrels of flour, one hundred and sixty-five thousand and five hundred and eleven bushels of corn, and twelve hundred barrels of corn meal. For the quarter ending December 31, there was exported from this port, thirty-eight thousand six hundred and seventeen barrels of floor, one hundred and seven thousand and forty-one bushels of corn, eight hundred and forty-one bushels Indian meal, and nine hundred bushels of rye, the value of which was 303,361 dols. In addition to the above, three barks cleared this morning for Europe, vin., the Attica, for Cork; the Hannah Thornton, for Getaway; and the Angola, for Liverpool with fifty-one thousand five hundred and seventy-seven bbeheis of corn, two thousand one hundred ditto rye, five hundred barrels of flour, and five hundred ditto corn meal. PHILADELPHIA, FEB. 24.—The sales of flour since yes terday embrace, in all, about 3,000 barrels mixed brands, at 5 dols. 75 cents, mostly taken on speculation. This price has since been refused, and 6 dolls. asked by some factors. Corn Meal.—A sale of GOO barrels is reported at 4 dolls. 621 c. and 4 dolls. 50 cents has been refused for large parcels. Wheat.—No sales. Corn.—We notice sales of 2,000 bushels Pennsylvania yellow at 85 to 87 cents, the latter by weight ; most holders are asking 90 cents. CINCINNATI, FEB. 20.—prices, if anything, were a shade lower yesterday. Something over 2,ooo.b arr els were sold, the largest lot not exceeding 200 b arre l s at 4 dolls. 65 cents to 4 dolls. 80 cents delivered, mostly at 4 dolls. 70 cents to 4 dolls. 75 cents. The stock is evidently accumulating in sto BAre, with continued liberal recei ts. LTIMORE, FEB. 26.—1 n How Flour the sales are quite limited. Late yesterday afternoon 200 brrls. were sold at 5 dolls. 87 1 / 2 cents, and 460 brrls. to-day at the same rate. Holders generally are asking 6 dolls. Th e recei p t price is unsettled. Hold ers o f City Mills ask 6 dolls. Several offers to purchase to-day at 5 dolls. 871/2 cen ts were refused. A sale of 500 brrls. Susquehanna Fl o urat 5 dolls. 87 1 / 2 cents, now held at 6 dolls. Small sales of prime Maryland red Wheats; at 120 to 122 cents. Te-day th e re is a little better feeling in the market f or C orn, and we note sales of Maly land at 80 to 81 cents. for white, and 82 to 83 cents for yellow. A sale to-day of Pennsylvania yellow at 85 cents. Outs are wanted and would bring 40 cents. NEW ORLEANS, F e b . 18.—The old story of an express in town with later European news was started again yesterday, and the unusually heavy business in bread stuffs certainly gave a colouring of probability to it. A reference to our commercial column will show the extent of the transactions. The sales of flour ran up to nearly 33,000 barr els, earl y in the day at 5 dole. 90 cents. for Ohio brands, though later 6 dols. 25 cents. arid 6 dots. 37 1 / 2 cents. per barr el were paid. Corn, too, went off briskly. Exporters took about 80,000 bushels, mostly at 1 doll. r bushel, w hi c h was freely offered to the close. Hardly anything e was done in Cotton, the sales not exceeding 1,200 bales at easier prices. Alsnalar, Feb. 25.—Flour—The only transactions of mo ment we hear of to-day, is a lot of 575 barrels Oswega, at 6 dolls. 31 1 /y cents. ; a small lot of Gene 3 ee from western wheat was sold at 6 d o ll s. 37% cents. Holders of good brands flou r are firm at 6 dolls. 50 cents. Eastern orders a n d sma ll sa l e s from store at 6 dolls 621 cents. Grain--The receipts of produce continue as large as ever, and p r i ces are b e tt er . Oats 40 cents. Rye 83 to 84 cents. Corn 83 t o 84 cen t s . Barley 63 to 66 cents. The sale reported yesterday was 6,000 bushels corn and 6,000 ditto barley, not rye, at 67 cents, to arrive within 20 days of the opening of the canal. Provisions—Pork arrives but . in small lots, and sells at 6 dolls. 50 cents to 7 dolls., according to quality. A lot of 3,500 lbs. lard, an extra artt%es ia%si.n market at the high mark of 14 cents. Whiskey— I BospoN, FEB. 25.—The schooner Joshua Brown, 11 . `a tons, of Provincetown, was chartered to -day, to load with corn for Cork, Ireland, direct. PerreinuteG, FEB. 22.—Declined on S aturday. Our dealers appear to know what news the Cambria will bring. Sales of 175 brrls. very prime, early in the day, at 4 dolls. 50 cents ; 200 ditto at 4 dolls. 25 cents to 4 dolls. 37 cents; 30 ditto at 4 dolls. 37 cents; 300 ditto at 4 dolls. 25 cents; these sales were principally on the wharf. The sales from waggons were a shade above this, mostly at 4 dolls. 31 cents. to 4 dolls. 37 cents. Corn—Continues firm, with sales of 300 bushels at 40 cents. A New York paper of Feb. 27 thus sums up the political Intelligence: — From Mexico, we have to-day--or rather from a por tion of it, which is the actual seat of war—some inter esting intelligence, though not of any decisive impor tance. An outpost of American volunteer cavalry had been surprised and captured in advance of Saltillo and an officer of the regular army (Lieutenant Ritchie) with an escort of ten dragoons, bearing dispatches from General Scott at Brazos Santiago, to General Taylor, at Monterey, had been cut off. By arrivals at New Orleans, we have Tampico d a t es t o th e Bth instant, Brazos to the 6th instant, Mantamoras to the sth, tn Carargo and Vera Cruz dates to the 2d instant, the city of Mexico to the 29th ult. A detachment, composed of 80 Kentucky and Arkansas cavalry, was cut off w hen thirty miles beyo n d S altillo, by General Minon. They formed an outpost, an d were sur prised and taken prisoners without resistance. Major Borland, C. M. Clay, and Major Gaines were cap- tured. A transport, also, with a regiment of Mississippi volun- a nd of Colonel De Rut sev , was wrecked teers, under comm - off Tampico. the coast of Mexico , near p • The survivors of the regiment—the greater part, as IS hoped —on reaching the land, were soon attacked by a superior Mexican force; and at the last accounts the result of the contest was unknown. On hearing the particulars of the shipwreck, General Patter son, commanding at Tampico, dispatched a brigade to ex tricate this regiment. In the interior, a portion of General Kearney '3 command probably the regiment of Missouri volunteers, has seized the Passo del Norte after a a severe conflict —this opens to the city of Chihuahua. The dates from Vera Cruz are to the 2d instant, when all efforts were making to be in condition to resist the appre hended attack. From San Luis de Potosi, the dates are to the 25th instant, when Santa Anna was still there, and Vera Cruz accounts of the 2d represent that he was to march thence in a few days towards Tula. Disorgani zation and want pervade the Mexican forces. The law exacting 15 millions from the property of the clergy was a dead letter. In Congress nothing is yet decided as to the three million Bill, nor as to the Bill for increasing the revenue, and yet on Wednesday next this body must adjourn by constitutional limitation. There seems little probal , ility that any change should he made in the tariff—although rumour states that the administration party had held a caucus, at which it was resolved to grant the duty asked by the Secretary of the Tieasury on tea and coffee. We are still incredulous about the possible success of that measure. The rumoured assassination of Santa Anna turns out to be unfounded. Last accounts state that he left for Tula, at the head of the main body of forces. General La Vega had been appointed to command Vera Cruz. The Congress of the State of Vera Cruz had called on its people to resist at all hazards an invasion of the Americans. There are some further accounts of the capture of Chi huahua. The Mexicans admit that over one hundred of their numbers Were killed. Another account mentions that NOTICE.

ADEFENCE of the LANDLORDS of IRE LAND, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord aad Tenant. By W. W. SIMPSON, Member of the Royal Dublin Society. John 011ivicr, 59, Pall-mall, London ; at 16, ilucklersbury, Lalndon Macken and Co., Westmoreland. street, Dublin ; and to be had of al booksellers. (Extract from the " Times" of November 9th, 1844.) " Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deser;edly respected auctioneer and land• valuer, has recently published a pamphlet, en titled 'A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.' The Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work gives the following character of its author : ' Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman of vast experience in matters relating to the improve ment and value of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gen tleman of most comprehensive views, and possesses an understand ing naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughlyteggainte4.,lie feat IIM her wanti, amT hirctittfilialed; as much perhaps as any man in his time, to improve her resources, by encouraging the investment of British capital in every depart ment of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion on the score either of interest or partiality. His testimony must be regarded as Invaluable as it is unquestionably unimpeachable." MARCH 17, 1847. the action took place in the immediate vicinity of El Passo Del Norte, in which our troops were entirely successful. This is the Mexican report, and it states that the Americans were in possession of El Passo, with 600 cavalry and 400 infantry, on the 27th ult. The loss on each side is not stated.

THE NAVIGATION LAWS. ." The Select Committee on the navigation-laws met yester day in Committee-room No. 2. There were present Mr. Mil ner Gibson (chairman), Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Mitchell, Admiral Dundee, Mr. Hume, Mr. T. Baring , R. Peel, Mr. Lyall, Sir George Clerk, e Hon. Mr. Liddell, Alderman Thomp son, and Sir Howard Douglas. The examination of Mr. M'Gregor was resumed. By Sir Howard Douglas—He apprehended that the free navigation to the sea of the river Sr. Lawrence, along with the navigation of the river Richelieu, would not give the naval ascendancy in the lakes to the United States, because the navigation of these rivers, particularly in those parts of the St. Lawrence from which they were now excluded was interrupted by shallows and rapids. The consequence would be that most of the vessels descending the river St. Law rence would require to come by way of those canals which were exclusively British property and under British control. The ascending of the river St. Lawrence of course was a matter of still greater difficulty. He was aware that in the war of the ;evolution the naval ascendancy of-this country was maintained upon the lakes by carrying out vessels in frame from this country—carrying them up the St. Lawrence and the Richelieu, shallow as they were, and putting them together on the banks of the lakes; but he could not admit that the small river craft that were likely to be used by the Americans would tend to establish their naval power, as of course they would only be used for mercantile purposes. By Mr. Hume—He was aware that there was no connexion between the navigation-laws and this subject, and that if the navigation-laws were repealed to-morrow the navigation of these rivers would remain exactly the same. Charles Macarthy was then called in and examined. By Mr. Ricardo—He was connected with the Customs De partment in Turk's Island, Bahamas. His chief duty was to watch the imperial duties—the laws which were separate and distinct from those which regulated the colonial taxa tion. He had often to prevent the landing of articles on which colonial duties would be paid. He would not prevent the colonial duties from being levied if the goods were landed ; but his business was to prevent the goods from being landed. M. Ricardo—Then you are appointed to hinder the colo nial trade? Mr. Macarthy was not prepared to enter into the question of hindrances. He wished to confine himself to facts. Mr. Ricardo—But you are paid to hinder the colonial trade ? Sir George Clerk—You had better not put by whom he is paid. Mr. Afacartby wished to suggest to the Committee that he had better not be examined upon general principles, but upon questions of fact which came under his own knowledge. Mr. Ricardo then withdrew his question. Examination by Mr. Ricardo continued—The chief, in deed the only export trade of the island was in salt, which was imported in British and American vessels, no foreign vessels having ever come to take a part in it ; and of the two the number of American vessels greatly preponderated. There was a very great demand for this salt in the United States, it being admitted to be the best in the world. It was seldom that these vessels arrived direct from the United States; as the foreign trade with the islands was not impor tant, and therefore they did not bring out cargoes exclusively for these islands ; but they generally touched at the great gathering place for the American vessels in the West Indies, the Danish island of St. Thomas, which was a free port, and whence they come to Turk's Island in ballast, as the naviga tion-laws did not allow them to bring to Turk's Island any portion of a cargo which had not been brought from America. They had a few ships of their own—small craft. The popu lation of the island was about 2,500. There was a good deal of smuggling attempted to be carried on between St. Thomas and Turk's Island. Mr. Ricardo—But the Americans are willing to pay the duties if they were allowed by the navigation-laws. Mr. Macarthy was not prepared to say whether they were willing to pay the duties or not, but the fact was they were not allowed. The payment for the salt be had mentioned was made almost entirely in money, with the exception of a few vessels that came direct from the United States to the island with an assorted cargo. He could not speak as to the feelings of the merchants on the state of their trade, but he apprehended it would be more agreeable to the mertants there if they had a`grenter trade. The rules which th^sri gation-laws applied to Turk's Island he supposed were the same as those of rather colonies, at least he had received no special instructions on the subject. By Alderman Thilnpson—Salt was the only article of ex port in Turk's Island. The imports were chiefly those that were used for the subsistence of the people, such as Indian corn, wheat, flour, &c.; so that he presumed the balance of trade was in favour of the island, from the fact of their being paid in money. He thought that during the last year there was a more than usually numerous arrival of vessels at the island, though, being at home on leave, he had no documents with him, and could not go into details. In 1845 the num ber of vessels arriving at the island amounted to 266. He thought that three-sixths of these vessels were vessels arriv ing from St. Thomas, but he could not say that all these were American. The customs duties of the island, arising entirely from imports, only amounted to about 500/. per annum. With regard to the grievances which the naviga tion-laws offered, he apprehended that the restriction im posed upon foreign vessels arriving from St. Thomas, was a considerable hardship, if not a grievance, because, small as the population of the island might be, it pressed upon the inhabitants of the island as grievously as though they had been a large population, demanding a large supply. As the law at present existed, a large proportion of vessels must necessarily arrive in ballast, and could not bring those car goes to the island which they required, such as sugar, mo lasses, and spirits. There were occasionally British vessels coming to the islands; but the Bahamas had no trade with the British West Indies, on account of the expense; and they and the Bermudas were the only islands that were permitted to trade with foreign colonies. Their chief exports were from St. Thomas, and from Porto Rico, in Cuba. Spanish ships might certainly bring goods from Cuba, but, in point of fact, they never did so. By Mr. Baring—The price of a peculiar spirit called gin in the island, which was very different from the article known under that name in England, was 1 dollar, equal to 4s. 2d. per demijohn, holding two gallons and a half, in St. Thomas, while it was 3 dollars in the island of St. Thomas. But upon the importation of this spirit there was a duty of 2s. 6d. per gallon of colonial duty, and of Is. per gallon of imperial duty. The real difference of price, therefore, if these duties were removed, between St. Thomas and Turk's Island would be somewhere about 2s. per gallon. By Admiral Dundas—There were no differential duties upon spirits, &c., as brought in American rather than in British vessels. Mr. Samuel Browning, of the firm of Benjamin and Mark Boyd, was next called in and examined. By Mr. Hume---The firm with which he was connected had large interests in the New South Wales Trade, and they were pretty extensive shipowners, at least in the colonial and sperm oil trade. He had had opportunities of noticing the operation, of the navigation-laws in a great variety of our colonies. The general tendency of those laws was to limit foreign vessels from bringing bulky articles, such as cotton, &c., from such countries as South America. If these articles were permitted to be exported in any ships, with the chance of a return cargo, the freights would be lowered; and in foreign markets a very trifling difference of price often made the difference between a sale and no sale. With regard to the effect of the repeal of the navigation-laws would have upon British shipping, he should wish before those laws were repealed that the duties on the materials employed in ship-building were removed; and if that were done he apprehended the British shipowner would have no cause of fear from any other nation whatever. In practice British ships successfully competed with foreign ships at the present time. He might mention, that last summer he was at Harlingen, in Holland, where he found that the ship builders of that town complained they were not able to com pete with British shipowners on account of the heavy taxa tion in Holland. He might add, that Dutch vessels had recently arrived from Batavia in the London Docks with sugar, and they had been offered high freights to go to America for bread-stuffs, but they declined, because they were not able to compete with British shipping. He thought, with regard to the price of building ships, that there were no ships in the world that could compete with the ships built in British North America. A new process had lately beenjin troduced there of salting the timber employed in building vessels, which had the effect of preserving them for a long time. lie considered that ships could be built in British North America cheaper than in the north of Europe, so that the British shipowner had much more to dread from the competition in our own collides than from the north of Europe. Even the Ame ricans suffered from this o)mpetition. When he was at New Orleans, in 1839, he found the shipowners there com plaining much of the competition of the ships produced by our colonies; and since then he was aware that their num bers had considerably increased. He believed that the ex pense of building a ship in the British colonies, and sending her out to sea with all her equipments, would be about 10/. per ton. With regard to the competition between British and American vessels, he was aware that in China, Singapore, Manilla, and generally in the open foreign mar kets of the world, there was a :preference given to British vessels over American. The trade between this country and the United States stood thus according to a Parliamentary Paper recently published :—ln 1836 the number of British and colonial vessels trading to the United States amounted to 227 ships, measuring 82,453 tons; and in 1846 their numbers had increased to 386, measuring 223,676 tons, being an increase of 171 per cent. in British vessels during the last ten years. The number of American vessels employed in the same trade in 1836 was 542, measuring 236,000 tons ; and in 1846 they had incre ased to 741, measuring 444,442 tons, being an increase of only 90 per cent. These returns he considered supported the opinion he formerly gave as to the preference shown to British colonial vessels in New Orleans. By Mr. Liddell-41e admitted that if the navigation-laws were repealed, freights would be lowered; but as he sup posed, at the same time, h t t h a a h t i sh w ips er w a o w ul e r a l l b d e a b ti u ll ilt h c a l l r e a t p h e e r than at present, he thought had p shipowners the question of same profit as wages, and he th o o w ugh .t t w tl e i a at ld i h n e t g h e e e e d v p en el t ie o y f i l l e this navigationcountry laws being repealed, seamen to be naturalised after three years to admit foreign faithful service. greater facilities were allowed for that naturalisation a a g n e d in at h t o h s e ti re quiring foreign s h same e s a t i g m a ien not 1 own country, he t ought that re duceforteigannedrstiwiaotuv,ld,eaglidadnlyottak advantage of such an. arrangement, the wages of British but would raise the wages ..f seamen in foreign countries, and thus place all upon a ! ev e!. As to the victualling of ships, he thought that British vessels would be better victualled than at pre sent, so that British seamen would be more comfort able than they were now. With regard to foreign ship wrights, if they were cheaper, he would import them by a ll means. In America,Holland, and Portugal, the ship wrights wrought hard; but in this country, owing to the effect of a combination among the workmen, there was a want of energy among our shipwrights, so that they did not put forth all their powers in their labour. If shipwrights were brought from other countries, more work would be done, and the masters would not be so much under the con•. trol of the men as they were now. The wages of shipwrights on the Thames amounted to 6s. per day; and he had no doubt that if foreign shipwrights were imported the price of ships would be reduced many pounds per ton. The wages at Sunderland and the other ports he believed to be about , ss. per day. He thought the navigation-laws did not pre vent the introduction of foreign shipwrights; but he believed the workmen would strike if the foreign workmen were in troduced. Mr. Liddell—Then, how would you break up this combi nation on the part of the men? Mr. Browning—By the repeal of the navigation-laws. Mr. Liddell—But the navigation-laws now do not prevent their introduction. How, then, would their repeal break up the combination? . Mr. Browning,Tljere would be such competition that the monopoly must be broken up. Examination by Mr. Liddell continued—A practical grievance arising from the *ration of the navigation-laws he thought was the high freights often required for the im portation of sheeps' wool from .New South Wales. His firm had often been called on to pay lid. per lb. freight on sheeps' wool, where, but for the nevi ation-laws, they might have imported the article at a freigl o f Id. per lb. By Alderman Thompson—l thought that ld. per lb. on sheeps' wool from New South ti ales would be a paying freight. He was decidedly or opinion that the naviga tion laws ought to be repealed, 'as the breaking up of a monopoly always gave a greater spring to industry and commerce. Mr. Liddell—ln short, you have formed your opinion rather upon general principles than upon practical grounds? By Admiral Dundas—He thought Swedish seamen would be very valuable, but he admitted that in a gale of wind they' were not so smart and active as British seamen, nor could they be expected to fight our battles in case of war, especially if against their own country. By the Chairman—They were at present allowed to employ foreigners, to the extent of one-fourth of the crew, in the foreign trade; but in practice that permission was not taken advantage of. By Mr. Mitchell—The great bulk of the crews of the American vessels were British seamen; he did not know why the Americans employed British sailors rather than Swedes or Norwegians. The Committee then adjourned till one o'clock on Thursday. JENNY LIND. The following letter from this great artist sets at rest the question of her coming to England. Certainly the enormous sum she sacrifices to satisfy an honourable scruple, after the opinion delivered by the law officers of the Crown, as to the non-existence of any legal claim upon her, must be consi dered as a most noble proof of high-mindedness and feminine delicacy well becoming so great a genius : (Copy.) " Vienne, 28 Fevrier, 1847. " Monsieur,—J'ai eu l'honneur de recevoir votre lettre du 19 Dec., 1846, dans laquelle vous pretendez avoir a me de mander des dommages interets pour ma non-venue en 1845. Vous connaissez parfaitement less raisons qui m'ont empeche, qui ont rendu impossible mon apparition sur votre theatre. D'ailleurs mon arrivee n'aurait ser►i a rien, puisque vous n'aviez ni la traduction de l'opera le Fildlager en Anglais, ni la musique que je devois chanter. II est plus que pro bable que l'affaire devant la loi ne vous rapporterait rien, mais je ne veux pas que vous puissiez me taxer de mauvaise foi, quelque peu que je meritasse ce reproche, et je vous offre, en remettant le papier signe par moi a la personne que je nommerai a cet effet, la somme de 2,0004, deux mille livres sterling. " Co — tnme je dois venir a 'Andres, en tout cas je prefere rais y venir ayec la conscience d'avoir fait tout ce qui de pendait de moi, et je laisse a votre jugement si vous pre ffferez cet arrangement a l'aimable a un proces qui vous ne rapp )rt era peut-titre rien du tout. " J'ai charge Mr. Edward Jennings, 9, Chancery-lane, de mes instructions ulterieurs. (Signe) " JENNY LIND. "A Monsieur Bunn, Directeur du The :re de Drury. lane, Londres." (Translation.) " Vienna, Feb. 28, 1847. " Sir,—l had the honour of receiving your letter of the 19th of December, 1816, in which you pretend to have to claim from me damages for my non-arrival in 1845 You are perfectly conversant with my reasons for not coming, and which rendered impossible my appearance at your theatre. Besides, my arrival would have been fruitless, since you had not at the time the opera of the Feldlager translated into English, nor the music which I was engaged to sing. It is more than probable that this affair brought before a court of justice would yield you nothing ; but I am determined you shall not tax me again with bad faith, however little I merit such a reproach, and I offer to pay you the sum of 2,0001. (two thousand pounds) on your returning the paper signed by me to the person I shall appoint for the purpose. " As 1 shall in any event come to London, I should prefer coming with the consciousness of having done all that de pended upon me, and I leave it to your choice and judgment whether you prefer this arrangement to a lawsuit, from which you would probably derive nothing. " I have given to Mr. Edward Jennings, of 9, Chancery lane, all necessary and further instructions on the present subject. . _ " I remain, &c. " JENNY LIND. " To Alfred Bunn, Esq., Director of the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, London." This proposal from Mademoiselle Liad was accompanied by the following letter from her solicitor:— " 9, Chancery-lane, March 13. " Sir,—l am instructed by Mademoiselle Jenny Lind to hand you the enclosed copy of a letter from that lady at Vienna, the original of which remains in my hands for your inspection. " Mademoiselle Lind has voluntarily made this proposal, without assistance or advice from English lawyers, to pur chase peace and escape litigation in a foreign land ; and lam authorised immediately to carry it out. " The proposal is final, and if you accept it, I will at tend any appointment you make, and close the affair ; and, on the other hand, if you object to it, or do not ac cept it on or before Tuesday next, I am instructed to appear and defend any suit you may think proper to institute against Mademoiselle Lind, and request you to direct your solicitor to send any process against that lady to me for ap pearance and defence. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your obedient servant, " EDWARD JENNINGS. " A. Bunn, Esq., Theatre Royal, Drury-lane." TRIAL OF THE COINS IN THE PYX OF THE MINT.
