CONTEMPOR,4RY PRESS. THE MAINE BOUNDARY DISPUTE. (From the Scottish Standard.) _ _ The fruits of Whig-radical,lmisgovemm - ent in our fo reiip relatiOns are coming fast to maturity. Of its evils at home, we have long seen and felt .the infliction in various shapes; and now they arc thickening upon us - from 'abroad, and threatening to involve us in most disastrous wars, the extent of which it is . impossible to calculate. lie whiff;-radical ministers, we were already aware, had involved us in hostilities with China and with Naples ; and now, it appears, they have in all probability done the same with the United States of America. The cause of the threatened rupture with America is the old grievance of the Boundary Question—a ques tion which, but for the criminal conduct of ministers, might have been settled long, long ago. The irrita tion arising from this dispute has lately been renewed on the other side of the Atlantic ; and it will be seen by a correspondence between Mr. Fox, the British mi nister at Washington, and Mr. Forsyth, the American Secretary of State, that the affair has assumed a very warlike aspect. The Americans have become alarmed at the defensive preparations made by the British au thorities in New Brunswick and the Canadas, in for tifying all their frontier posts, and assembling a strong force, which is estimated at twenty thousand regular troops, to be ready for action at a moment's warning. On the other hand, the aggressions of the inhabitants of Maine, the state in or adjoining to which the disputed territory lies, have given just cause of complaint to the British minister. The President in sists on the duty of supporting the state of Maine in its claims, and declares that " no apprehension of the conseqtiences (that is war) alluded to by Mr. Fox, can be permitted to divert the government and people of the United States from the performance of their duty to the state of Maine." In short, the American go vernment are determined to seize, vi et armis, the ter ritory which that state demands, and the British go vernment are equally determined, vi et arrais, to re sist it. _ And resist it they must—if they would retain pos session, that is, of our North American colonies ; for the road, which forms at all times the most direct route from Europe to Canada, and during half the year, the winter six months, is the only British thoroughfare to Quebec, the capital of those colonies, runs through the very tearitory which the state of Maine insists upon seizing —we mean the road from Fredericktown, New Brunswick, to the St. Lawrence. To resist this auda cious demand of the Americans. we say, our govern ment is in duty bound. So far from condemning such resistance, involving us, though it inevitably must, in war with America, we consider it indispensable. But we do condemn our government for having rendered such resistance necessary, by their criminal conduct; and we shall presently show what abundant reason we have for doing so. . . . We have before us an " Exposition of the causes and the consequences of the Boundary Differences be tween Great Britain and the United States, subse quently to their adjustment by arbitration"---addressed to the Chamber of Commerce of Sheffield, in compli ance with their request, by that truly able and high minded diplomatist, David Urquhart, Esq. Ifhe ".Ex position" has . not been published; but a copy of it has very opportunely fallen into our hands, and we are happy to avail ourselves of a portion of it, which re capitulates the history of the question in dispute, and shows that the Foreign Secretary, Lord Palmerston, has committed a violation of national compact, and betrayed the public interests—the fearful consequences of which we are now about to suffer in a bloody war with America. The portion we allude to is as fol lows : Great Britain and the United States are bound, by the Treaty of Ghent, to submit differences respecting the Boun dary to an arbiter, and to be bound by his decision. The peace of those States reposes on that Treaty. To violate it, on any one point, is to abrogate it in all. The violation of the stipulation which renders arbitration final, would be abrogation of all international ties subsisting between those States. The two governments have signed a convention, on the 29th September, 1827, executory of the stipulation of the Treaty of Ghent, and binding themselves to accept, as final and exclusive, the award which the arbiter should pronounce ; and to carry it, without reserve, into immediate execution. This international compact had solely reference to, and was to be fulfilled in, the single act of the adoption of the award, when rendered. _ _ _ In conformity with this public deed, and on the faith of these obligations, the King of Holland was requested by the High Parties " to be pleased to take upon himself the arbi tration of their differences ;" and that prince did so under take that office. On the 10th of January, 1831, the King of Holland pro nounced his decision. The King of Great Britain immediately expressed to the King of Holland, his acquiescence in that decision. The King of Great Britain did not so express to the United States, his acquiescence in that decision. The United States made no communication on the subject either to the King of olland or to the British government. In December, 1831, the British government communi cated to the United States the acceptance of the award by Great Britain, and requested to know what the United States proposed to do. The United States gave no answer. In the month of July, 1832, the Senate of the United States advised the President not to accept the award ; and also ad vised him to open a new negotiation with Great Britain. Communication to that effect was made in July 21st, 1R32. On April I , lth, 1833, after an interval of nine months from the period of the American communication, and two years and three months after the rendering of the award, the re ceipt of this communication is acknowledged by the British government ;—the setting aside of the award, by America, acquiesced in ; and a proposal for new negotiations adopted. On the 29th December, 1835, the English government sig nified to the American government, that it distinctly with drew its assent to the award of the King of Holland, which it then designates as a " territorial compromise, recom mended." From April, 1833, to January, 1838, sixteen notes are ex changed between the British minister . at Washington, and the American Secretary of State, containing proposals for negotiation, counter proposals, refusals, and counter-re fusals. . . On the 10th of January, 1838, the British minister at Washington receives, from the principal Secretary of State for foreign affairs, a despatch containing these words : "Both governments have agreed to consider the award of of the King of Holland as binding on neither party; and the two governments, therefore, are in this respect as free as they were before the reference to that Sovereign was made." Thus—The British Minister had accepted the award in the name of the Crown ; had applied to that award the ante rior treaty stipulations; had signified to the King of Hol land his acceptance of it ; had signified to the American Government his acceptance of it. He had not produced it to the House of Commons ; he had resisted in his mi nisterial capacity the production of it in the House of Commons ; he had refused to assign any reason for the withholding of it. lie had obtained the rejection of it by the American Senate—by an intimation that England was not indisposed to open new negotiations ; he had submit • ted to that rejection ; he had acceded to a proposition of a new negotiation ; he had himself offered projects of nego ciation ; he then withdrew the assent of the British Go vernment from the award altogether, and dually instructed the Envoy at Washington, that both Governments were entirely absolved from all obligations imposed upon them by the award, and consequently imposed upon them by the Convention of 1827 and the Treaty of 1814. Further—He had suffered along series of aggressions against the rights of Great Britain, and the prerogative and au thority of the Crown, to be perpetrated without obtaining satisfaction, or demanding it ; without nicking remon strance, or even communication, to the Government by whose subjects these crimes were committed, until he had encouraged, sanctioned, and fully established, a deter mined spirit of hostility to the fulfilment of the common obligations of the two States, and until he had diploma tically set aside the rights of Great Britain in that ques tion. He had, moreover, by his positive declarations in the House of Commons, excited the American people and Government to resist the award, had fomented a spirit of hostility, and encouraged the outrages of the population bordering on the disputed Boundary. Buf—The award of the King of Holland, founded as it is on international compact, remains binding upon this country, and upon the United States, so long as both are not ab solved front such obligations by the same authority as that by which they were contracted. Until such compact is entered into, the proposal of a new negotiation on the part of a British Minister, being an at tempt to set aside an act, the fulfilment of a convention, is an itisunaption of the prerogatives of the Crown. It is therefore illegal, and is not binding on Great Britain. The public safety requires an immediate inquiry • - ito the conduct of the principal Secretary of State for Foreign Af fairs in regard to this question ; and if it appears that by his acts, or his negligence, or even his ignorance, these alarm ing and unfortunate results have been brought about, then are the means furnished, by which to restore our nationitl position, and to transfer, from the Parliament and the Crown, to the guilty Minister, the responsibility of such acts, by his impeachment and condemnation. - - it is obvious, then. that her Majesty's whig-radical ministers will be altogether responsible for the war that is impending. They might have prevented it, had tley done their duty ; but they have failed—shamefully failed, in the duty they owed, alike to the crown and to the country; they have violated a national compact, betrayed the public interests, and, to all appearance, involved the country in a war, the evils of which it is impossible to foretell. 'We see, then, in this, as we have seen in many other things, what a tremendous price the nation is paying for a Whig-radical ministry. " That man is a public enemy, who saps the foun dations.Of the common safety of nations." Such was the opinion of one who well knew how to estimate conduct so mischievous. And let us apply that opinion to the case before us—let us see, as we soon may, how direfully the men who now constitute her Majesty's government, have "sapped the foundations of the peace and common safety of nations," and we shall not have much difficulty in coming to the conclusion, that in order " to restore our national position," if we do not " impeach and condemn," we must, at any rate, dismiss those men, and that immediately, from the councils of the Sovereign. Napoleon in his prosperity was sometimes apt to lose his head a little, and to speak as Richard 11. did in his " soi; ; row and grief of heart." i. e. " fondly, like a frantic man. On the death of the last of the Stuarts being mentioned to hitn, he said, " If they had but left a child eight years old I would have placed him (411 the throne of Great Britain." This was a miscalculation, as was the following. His im perial majesty had given instructions for altering the Salle de Spectacles at the Tuilleries ; and one day he took Talma with him to see the improvements he had suggested. They were alone in a dim theatrical light, when Napoleon thus addressed the tragedian :—" Do you know that there is many an Englishman who would give a good round sum to be in your place ? If one of their emissaries could surprise me here, he would find it a good opportunity for getting rid of me." Ah, sire !" exclaimed Talma, " you make me tremble —should any one lie here concealed." " Don't be alarmed," returned the Emperor, tapping Talma familiarly on the shoulder, " history respects itself too much to let me die in a:trap like a hero of meto-Brame. lam persuaded she has Something better in store for me.—Frarer's Magazine. ' THE WEST INDIA COLONIES. (From the Journal of Commerce.) We feel much interested in the present condition of the West India planters, and think they are subjected to difficul ties from which they ought, in justice, to be relieved by the aid and cordial co-operation of the parent state, In this opinion all must unite, upon a candid and impartial examination of facts, dismissing alike from view the preju dices raised by well-intentioned but ill-informed clamour, and the extreme opinions held by the planters themselves, as to the consequenecs which they apprehended as the imme diate result of negro emancipation. That both parties were wrong is happily no longer a subject for inquiry : the colour ed people have been admitted into rank and station in civi lized society ; they are no longer bondsmen, but have become free agents and unfettered labourers with their fellow-men in the great mart of human industry; and well have they de served the noble boon of freedom which has been conferred on them, for their conduct has, ever since the period of eman cipation, been characterised by an extraordinary degree of discretion, of docility, and a love of good order, which evinces their undoubted fitness to become citizens of the state. Whilst, however, we award this due 'need of praise to the coloured population of the British colonies for the use they have made of their newly acquired liberties, let us be just towards the West India planters, who have suffered so large ly in their reputations, from the unmeasured and unremitted calumnies to. which they have long been subjected. If the general charge of the horrible cruelties imputed to the plan ters had been true, even in the proportion of one to ten•of those promulgated, the situation of our West India colonies would be far different from what it is at the present moment. Our readers will rejoice to learn that the free labourers have continued, almost without exception, voluntarily to de vote their industry on the same estates, and to the same masters who so lately held them in bondage ; that no feelings of revenge for previous imaginary injuries have anywhere been exhibited ; and that good order and absence from crime, accompanied by general tranquility, prevail through out the islands. What, then, becomes of the numerous ac cusations so unceasingly heaped upon the whole body of West India planters ? Where are the traces, the remaining symp toms of that appetite for useless cruelty which has been so freely and perseveringly cast upon a highly honourable and respectable class of British subjects? Are they to be disco vered in the unbought, freely-given attachment, shown by the oppressed towards their reputed oppressors? or do the zeal ous disseminators of. those malignant calumnies explain the anomaly, by contending that the coloured people partake of the quality of the spaniel, and yield their affection in return for stripes and ill-usage ? Were such a plea resorted to, it would not avail, for the fact is well known that the passion of revenge constitutes the predominant feeling of the coloured race. But they are also susceptible of the sentiment of gra titude : they have experienced kindness and protection from their old masters, and they very properly esteem them as their best friends. This is the triumphant answer of the 'Pest India planters to their revilers. In addressing our readers upon this most important sub ject, it is with an anxious desire to remove, in the first in stance, all remaining unworthy prejudices which may have been excited during the 'emancipation struggle : and by so doing, and burying the past in oblivion, to obtain from go vernment and the public the favourable consideration of those measures which emancipation has rendered indispen sable for the protection of West India interests. It is not the planter only whose property requires to be protected ; the prosperity of the. British empire is equally at stake. We owe much of the wealth and greatness of Great Britain to her West India colonies ;—ships, colonies, and commerce, insure prosperity, influence, and power on all countries to which they belong. It was always obvious that free labour would not be equal in value to forced labour ; and while we rejoice in the humane and Christian feeling, which, so far as the British nation is concerned, has terminated the traffic and the bond age of our fellow-man, we deem it but an act of common justice to lend all reasonable aid, to render the consequences of that national measure as little injurious to the planters and the country as the nature of circumstances will permit. The planters ought not to be subjected to any loss that can be properly prevented; and independently of their just claim to be saved from evil forced upon them, it will be found true policy to assist them in surmounting present difficulties, for all losses must ultimately recoil on the mother country. The first and most beneficial relief which can be extended to the West India planters, will be to remove every existing obstacle to the immigration of free labourers into the colo nies, to make up for the deficiency which was expected and has occurred, in the labour supplied by the free coloured population ; and to enable the West India proprietors to avail themselves of the means to bring into use tracts of land, for the most part now uncultivated, or devoted to rearing products for which the soil is unsuited. Confining our ob servations for the present to the extensive and very valuable Island of Jamaica, there are in the parishes of St. Ann, St. Elizabeth, Manchester, Clarendon, Westmorland, Hanover, and Trelawney, from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 acres of excel lent land, which, with an adequate supply of free labour, could be immediately brought into a productive state for the cultivation of cotton, coffee, and other commodities, and possessing the important recommendation of enjoying a temperate and healthy climate similar to all the high lands in Jamaica, and points them out as the fit location for the employment of fresh labourers. The present supply of labour in the island is inadequate to bring these immense tracts of land into cultivation. Immi gration on an enlarged scale must, therefore, be encouraged. Attempts are now making to supply the demand for labour by procuring free coloured labourers from the United States. In our opinion, there are objections of no little weight to place any great reliance on this source. Any dependence on a direct supply of voluntary labourers from the shores of Africa, as has been proposed, is equally objectionable, as leading, though it may be slowly, yet surely, to the revival of the slave-trade under a ew form. Again, as respects the Hill Coolies, their inveterate prejudices, their peculiar habits, their general disinclination to labour, will always render them unfit for labourers in the West India colonies. - From whence, it may be asked, can the required supply be obtained ? We are already in possession or facts and views, whereby a pro per supply may be obtained—in sufficient numbers for the wants of these colonies—of robust, industrious men, distin guished for their docile and sober habits, and ivho would be found an invaluable acquisition to the British West India colonies ; inured to a warm climate, accustomed to agricul tural labour, they would most willingly proceed to our West ern Colonies if they possessed the means. In order to the attainment of the good aimed at, we must set out with the determination of doing justice, and be pre pared for changes revdered necessary by the force of cir cumstances. The laws and fiscal regulations that were use ful, or possibly indispensable, ender a former order of society and at former periods, may be found, wholly inappli cable to the new order of society which has arisen, and to our condition at the present time. We must, therefore, abandon so much as interferes with the general welfare, and adopt those laws and regulations which ate best suited to promote the prosperity of all. It is with this feeling that we advocate the immediate removal of every impolitic re striction upon West Indian industry. We wish the subject to he viewed as a whole, and not to be examined in sectional parts ; and in the same spirit we contend that whatever rea sons may have formerly justified confining West Indian pro duce exclusively to the home or British markets, they no longer exist. We are, after mature reflection, and the fullest examination, decidedly of o pi n i on th at , as a measure o f policy as well as justice, the time has arrived when the whole of our West India colonists should he permitted to select any markets they may choose for their produce, and the islands rendered free ports for all nations. On a future day we will show that this would be the wisest and best policy for Great Britain to pursue ; that it would benefit every in terest of this nation, and give an improved tone to our re lations with all other states. THE DUKE OF SUSSEX-THE MARRIAGE. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) The following simple, affecting, and beautiful letter, reached us this day. It is written by the Hon. Mr. Murray, son of the late Earl of Dunmore, and brother to the hapless and ill fated Lady Augusta. Its perusal will arouse the feelings of the public, and tend to increase the sympathy now so univer sally felt for her children. , Justice has been tardy in her dealings towards them ; but she will be sure, and her retri bution will be bounteous. This letter places her ladyship's character in a new and magnanimous 'point of view—as the resigned snd suffering martyr, and as the firm and uncom promising heroine—enduring every misery and privation, even to the disgrace of arrest—and for her husband's debts— rather than betray a trust or violate a promise. We feel proud, as we well may, at the circumstance of the Evening Mail havi'gbeen selected as the medium for placing such a document before the public, and honoured at the too flattering manner in which our humble efforts in the cause of truth and justice have been noticed by the writer : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING MAIL " Farmley, near Bagshot, 18th April, 1840. " Six,—From a Paragraph which appears in the Morning Chronicle (apparently derived from some one to whom the circumstance was well known) the editor states : " ' That at the time of the marriage of the Duke of Sussex to Lady Augusta Murray, in 1793, each of them gave to the clergyman, by whom the ceremony was performed, a pledge neither to reveal his name, nor permit him to incur any peril on their account. The Duke of Sussex has kept his word.' " And thus the article abruptly terminates, leaving the in ference to be drawn that my late sister had been less mindful of her pledge. But that her memory may not suffer from any erroneous opinion on this head, I beg to inform you that on several occasions, when she was arrested for debt, and otherwise subjected to great mental sufferings, from such arrests, that I urg e d an d en t reate d h er , a ll i n my power , be tween 1803 and 1808, to plead femme converts; one of her invariable replies to which was, ' No—l cannot ; I pledged my-word to the clergyman, most sacredly, that I would not reveal his name, and that pledge I should be obliged to break, to establish, in a court of law, were Ito do what you wish.' " No, Mr. Editor, it was many years after the before mentioned period when, finding my mother, the late Countess of Dunmore, to be in a very weak state of health, that I was induced to urge her so solemnly, not only on the act of in justice that she was doing to us, her sons, and more espe cially to her grandson, the present Sir Augustus D'Este, that she at last revealed to me not only the clergyman's name and age, but also the county in which he resided, who had mar ried the parties ; as also the name of another person who had been induced to listen when the ceremony was being per formed, from having had their suspicions aroused that some thing of the kind was going on, from what had previously oc curred, - as well as from the mysterious manner in which the c l e rgyman alluded to was smuggled into the palace when my mother had gone out of it. " Having subsequently seen the persons alluded to, and they not denying the fact, I some time afterwards appealed to his Royal Highness whether it would not be an act of common justice to th e famil y of the Duchess, a nd to her children, that he should obtain (considering the extre me age t s m am manner timee I of the clergyman who ha d intermarried his Ro y al Hi ghness acquainting ai m n y t sister) t. his er Royal) a cer certificate i filiciagtiemieos how s such effect—atand in what had become possessed of the clergym_an's name, &c. ; in r e ply to which appeal a gentleman of the name of Stephenson called upon me on the subject of s uch certificate, which not terminating satisfactorily, after two or three interviews, he inquired if I had any objection to an interview with his Ro y al Highness's legal adviser on the subject of it. My answer to which was , th a t I w o u ld willingly meet any honourable minded man who m he chose to appoint. The result of which was, that the present Lord BrOugham, with Mr. Ste phenson, called, when the former (on being nrade acquainted what was the cause o f our meet i ng, an d m y ex planation or . w • t a was wanted,) immediately addressed himself to Mr. Stephen son, and told him he could not see any objection to his Royal Highness's compliance with so reasonable a request on my part, and which I had a right to expect from him ; or what was tantamount to it. " However, not receiving the certificates required, I re paired to the party, who, to the disgrace of his holy office, though acknowledging his having performed the ceremony, declined giving to me the certificate, until he had personally communicated with his diocesan, the late Bishop of Norwich, who informed me first personally, and subsequently by letter, that if it depended upon his advice, 1 should not be long without the certificate require ; yet, notwithstanding ad vice to such effect from his diocesan, the old gentleman de clined giving the certificate, but pledging himself that one should be left behind him to such effect ; all of which circum stances Sir Augustus D'EsteNtas informed of by me as they severally occurred, and certainly not through his mother. " Before I conclude, Mr. Editor, permit me to thank you for the warm interest which you have taken in the cause of my late injured sister and her offspring, by a publication of the various facts which you have given insertion to in your very respectable journal. And allow me to add, that I am , A. MURRAY. with esteem, your obliged bumble servant,: We)!ive taken occasion, at various times, to bring before the notice of the public the persevering diligence evinced by the French government to improve and extend its navy; and especially the encouragement which it has systematically ' given to the growth of its steam navigation. The contrast presented by the course adopted by the government of this country is not a little remarkable. 'While France, a military pOwer, has spared no pains and grudged no expense in per fecting the new element of marine power which the adapta tion of steam to navigation has given rise to. Great Britain, a naval power, altogether dependent on its naval supremacy for the protection of its übiquitous commerce and tor its in fluential position in Europe, has uniformly thrown all sorts of discouragements and obstacles in the way of the advance ment of its steam navigation. It is true there has been a popular prejudice, now fast wearing away, against steam navigation ; and it is not difficult to imagine that a vast num ber of interested persons, as well as of the ignorant and envious, would endeavour to decry an innovation which in terfered with their pursuits and their prejudices. In this case an enlightened administrative government might have conferred an essential service ou the country, by taking measures to remove the errors existing in respect to steam navigation, and by the adoption of a judicious system of encouragement. But instead of taking this course, the go vernment rather gave countenance to th 2. misrepresentations industriously put forth of the deficiencies and dangers of the new mode of navigation. Whether the tone thus given by the government influenced the popular feeling on the subject, it is not our present purpose to inquire ; but it cannot have escaped the observation of those who have attended to the question, that the prejudice against steam navigation, and its conductors, has not been confined to the merely ignorant and uneducated. In any dispute between the public and steam navigation companies, the presumption has always been that the steam company must be wrong. If an obs . inate barge would wilfully run across a steam vessel, and would not get out of the way, such a case of " COLLISION" would be sure to interest at once in favour of the barge, the sympathies of the judge, jury, and spectators. The steam company came into court already pre-judged ; the only question was the quantum of damages. • This prejudice against steam-vessels may in some respect have been occasioned by the supposition of the vast number of accidents consequent on the introduction of steam navi gation. Since its introduction every accident of a steam vessel has been sedulously made public, and from its novelty has attracted attention ; sailing vessels have experienced their usual casualties of masts lost, and leaks sprung ; have been cast on shore or sunk at sea without giving rise to particular notice. But the bursting of a boiler has attracted immedi ate attention, and excited the general indignation of the pub lic .; nothing has then been talked of but the dangers of steam-navigation, and the horrors of being boiled and blown up by terrible steam explosions. Now *hat is the fact ? lii the early part of last year, the government, yieldiuz to the popular outcry against steam-boat accidents,- appointed a commission for the purpose of investigating the number and nature of steam-boat accidents. The inquiry was set on foot in no friendly spirit; and was much in the nature of an in quisition to bring to light . the manifold enormities practised by the steam companies on an unsuspecting public. The re sult, however, of this inquiry, proves in a remarkable man ner the gross error of the popular prejudice, and is the strongest evidence that can be given of the comparative safety and the great superiority afforded by the application of steam power to the great purposes of navigation. We extract from an able article in the Monthly Chronicle, the following table of the number of, steam accidents : Vessels, ABSTRACT OF NINETY-TWO ACCIDENTS. Ascertained Number of Lives Lost. 40 Wrecked, foundered, or in imminent peril 23 Explosions of boilers 17 Fires from various causes 12 Collisions Computed number of persons lost on board the Erin, Frolic, and Superb. From watermen's and coroners' lists, in the Thames, exclusive of the above, during the last three years . 40 From a list obtained in Scotland, exclusive of the above ) being accidents in the Clyde during the last ten years. The greatest ascertained number of lives lost at any one time occurred by the wreck of the Rothsay Cas tle, when The greatest number at any one time from explosion The greatest number at any one time from tire 2 .. It is to be borne in mind that the above list of lives lost in steam-vessels or through their means, comprises a period of the 22 years during which steam navigation has been in practice in this country ; and " when it is considered that Great Britain and Ireland had no less than 766 steam-boats in full activity last year," we agree with the Monthly Chro nicle in thinking, " that a more triumphant case in favour of the superior security of steam navigation could scarcely have been presented than by the list thus compiled by the govern ment commissioners." In comparing the loss of life in sailing vessels and in steam-vessels, we have the advantage of the labours of a parliamentary committee appointed in 1836. From their report we ascertain that the annual loss by the shipwreck of sailing vessels is three millions of pro perty and one thousand lives. It may be alleged, that this great extent of loss is to be accounted for by the greater ex tent of our sailing than of our steam marine. But on exa mination it does not appear so. The Monthly Chronicle shows, that " it appears from Air. Porter's tables, that, in 1836, Great Britain and her colonies owned 25,000 vessels, of an aggregate tonnage of nearly 2,800,000. We have seen that, in 1835, the vessels lost were 550 in number. Assum ing the same loss for the ensuing year, we have one ship wreck for every forty-five vessels afloat. In the same year of 1836, according to the schedule of Messrs. Parkes and Pringle, ten steam-boats are stated to have met with serious accidents : six of these accidents were attended by the com plete destruction of the vessel, but only in one instance were those gentlemen able to ascertain the loss of a single life as connected with any one of the serious accidents of that year. In 1836, let it not be forgotten, GOO steam-boats were afloat in our waters." As we should damage the following extract by any abridge, ment, we give it-entire : " One frequent subject of complaint has been the great insecurity of the river Thames of late years, in consequence of the reckless rapidity with which steam-boats are navigated in our crowded pool, and to this subject it became, of course, necessary for Messrs. Pringle and Parkes to direct a portion of their attention. They have, with much labour, collected a list, as complete as possible, of all the accidents that were occasioned by steam-boats on the river Thames, during a period of three years and a half—namely, from May, 1835, to December, 1838. We will not weary our readers by re printing the whole of this list, but the following digest will show at once how much mischief these terrible steamers have committed on the bosom of our venerable Thames : Number of persons drowned or otherwise killed by steamers upsetting boats, &c. Number of persons who sustained bodily injuries 5 Number of persons thrown into the water, but saved from drowning Total personal accidents l2O Number of wherries, barges, smacks, or other craft, sunk and injured by steamers. Number of steamers seriously damaged by collision with each other Total accidents to vessels Heaven forbid that we should speak lightly of the loss of a single human life I but really, when we consider the outcry that has so often been raised, by the newspapers, about the frightful loss of life occasioned in the river by the culpable conduct of captains of steamers, we did expect that more than 43 lives had been lost during a period of three years and a half. And let us see, during that time, what the activity of steam navigation on the river has been. From the ac counts taken at the government dock-yard at Deptford, it appears that the number of steam-boats that pass weekly amount to 7OO Multiplying this number by.. We obtain, as the number of steam-boats pass ing annually up and down the river before the dock-yard at Deptford 36,400 Or, in three years and a half It would, therefore, appear, that the enormous number of 127,400 trips had probably been performed, up and down the river, during these three years and a half; so that, including even the 72 individuals; whose sufferings extended no further than a ducking (no very pleasant occurrence certainly,) there would not be quite one personal accident to every one thou sand trips performed by steamers on the River Thames." We have been led to devote so much of our space in the present instance in showing the erroneous nature of the pre judices which exist in respect to the dangers attendant on steam navigation, on account of the impediments which the report of the government commissioners threatens to throw in the way of the advance of steam navigation. Believing, as we do, that the great discovery of the application of steam to navigation, must, at no distant time, entirely change the cha racter of naval warfare ; and that superiority in naval domi nion will depend on superiority in steam navigat.ion, we can not but regard any obstacles opposed to the rapid develop ment of this new power to be most unwise, and with relation to this country, most dangerous. And looking at the sedu lous endeavours made by rival, and in some respects hostile, nations, to augment by every means in- their power, by the most careful protection, by the most unbounded encourage ment, and by all the lights and helps which a provident go vernment can assist with, this new branch of naval power, it is not without alarm that we observe the British government, not only affording neither protection nor encouragement, but positively throwing discouragement and vexatious obstacles in the way of those enterprising public companies which have led the way in establishing for their country the elements of the new marine power, by which alone its commerce can be protected, and its national greatness maintained.—Courier. A CHINESE MAP OF THE WORLD.—It is two feet wide by three and a half high, and is almost covered with China. ' In the left hand corner, at the top, is a sea, three inches square, in which are delineated as small islands, Europe, England, France, Holland, Portugal, and Africa. Holland is as large as all the rest, and Africa is not so big as the end of one's little finger ! The northern frontier is Russia, very large. The left corner, at the bottom, is occupied by " the western ocean," as it is called, containing the Malay penin sula pretty well defined. Along the bottom are Camboja, Cochin China, &c., represented as moderate sized islands, and on the right is Formosa, larger than all the rest put to gether. Various other countries are shown as small islands. I should have given an engraving of this curious map, but that a true reduction to the size of a page would have left out most of these countries altogether. The surrounding ocean is represented as huge waves, with smooth passages, or high ways branching off to the different countries, or islands, as wea g t o li e s l a . r a a l o n n e g e t o h r e s s e t s highways of , fe d ly iv ' er b g u e t , if the th y e they represent th em .

ERSKINE AND Ills ANIMALS.--" He has always had se veral favourite animals, to whom he has been much attached, and of whom all his acquaintance have a number of anecdotes to relate—a favourite dog, which he used to bring when he was at the bar, to all his consultation s ; another favourite dog, which, at the time when he was Lord Chancellor, be himself rescued in the street from some boys who were about to kill him, under pretence of its being- mail . , a favourite ghose,_ which followed him wherever he walked a b out h i s grounds ; a favourite mackaw, and other dumb favourites without number. He told us now that lie had got two fa vourite leeches. He had been blooded by them last autumn, when he had been taken dangerously ill at Portsmouth ; th ey lthem wit h • had saved his life, and he had brought him to in a glass ; had himself eve ry town ; had ever since kept them andhad f • orrne, a friendship day given them fresh water; they both knew him, and with them.

After a good deal of conversation about them, he went himself, brought them out upon the table. of his library, and placed them in their g lass It is impossible, however, without the vivacity, the tones, the details, and the g estures of Lord Erskine, to give an ade quate idea of this singular scene."—Memor rs and Diary of Sir Samuel Rowdily.

During the last seven days we have had a good supply of Oats from Ireland, but moderate arrivals of other Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, either from that country or coastwise. The imports from abroad comprise 14,290 qrs. of Wheat, 4580 qrs. of Oats, 8370 qrs. of Barley, 1100 qrs. of Peas, and 32,900 brls. of Flour; and there has heel► duty paid on 6400 qrs. of Wheat, 2000 qrs. of Barley, 150 qrs. of Beans, 380 qrs. of Peas, and 5580 brls. of Flour. The im provement noted in the Wheat trade, on Tuesday last, has been followed by less activity in demand, owing, in a great degree, to the anticipated decline in the duty on Friday next, which has had the effect of keeping back millers and dealers, and, on the other hand, has induced holders to accept rather lower prices for delivery on or alter that day.—American Flour, in bond, has, for the same reason, been held with more firmness; there are no sellers under 27s 6d per barrel t the rates for duty paid are 37s 6d to 38s 6d, at which there has been a moderate sale. Fine Mealing Oats have been sought after, and are rather dearer: choice would fetch 35 led; good samples saleable at 3s 9d to 3s 10d per 451 b. Oat meal has also met more inquiry, at previous rates. The large supplies of foreign Barley continue rather to depress prices; fine Rostock was sold yesterday at 35s to 36s per imperial quarter; and zood sweet Danzic, for grinding, at 4s 3d to 45 6d per 601b5.—N0 alteration as regards Beaus or Peas. LIVERPOOL PROVISION•MARKET, APRIL 27. . , New grass Butter is coming more freely to market and meets a quick sale, 115 s being about the current price. The scarcity of good old Butter will have its effect in maintaining prices of new for some time to come. Nothing, new to report of other articles. except Bacon, about which there is so much talk, that we think prices will be higher. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 27. , . We have had a tolerably good supply of all kinds of Meat ; for the prhne small Beef high prices were demanded ; the large and heavy Oxen met dull sale at our last quotations. middling and. inferior Beasts a shade lower. Prime old Cheviot \V ethers v:ere in good demantl, others of middling and inferior quality went off at a reduced price from our last market. Shear hog store Sheep were in good demand, and sold I reely at 24s to 32s 6d each ; prime Mutton in Wool 7cl, middling 7d, sheared Sheep 6d. Prime small Beef 7d, heavy Oxen 6d and bid ; inferior Beasts 4id to 5,1 d per lb. Number of Beasts 831 ; Shepp, 3132. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Apßii24. The improved demand noticed last week for all descriptions of American, was followed up in the early part of this by an increased desire on the part of the Trade, as well as Exporters and Specu lators, to purchase freely ; the transactions in consequence have been extensive, at gradually improving prices ; and although there has been less activity since Tuesday,. With a better supply on the market, prices of American are id to id higher than at the close of last week, whilst Brazil, Egyptian and East India remain firm at previous rates. Speculators have taken 8500. American and 150 Surat, and Exporters 1000 American. 1500 bags Sea Island are an nounced for public auction en Friday. Ist May.
