A NOVELTY.—A hoot-cleaning Saloon, to which is
attached public lavatories and dressing-rooms, has just
been opened in Brydges-street, Covent-garden. The
admission to the former is one penny.
PRIVATEERING.—The story which obtained currency
in England and France regarding the fitting out of a
Russian privateer in New York, referred to the barque
Maury, which was seized by the British consul on the
plea of having on board articles contraband of war, and
which was subsequervly discharged and known to he no
privateer at all. The English and French press do not
seem to have been properly posted on the subject of
privateering. It is a settled and recognised law of
nations that unless two-thirds of the crew of a vessel
fitted out for a privateer are natives or subjects of the
belligerent party under whose flag she sails, that she is
not legally a privateer, but a pirate, and may be treated
accordingly. hence, when we commenced the war with
Mexico, we gave public notice that all privateers sailing
under the Mexican flag, unless two-thirds of the persons
on board were citizens of Mexico, would be treated as
pirates. Under this view of the case it will be seen that,
even were the Americans disposed to fit out privateers
wick'. the Russian flag, it would be impossible to man
them with Russian sailors. In all New York, indeed in
the whole country, it is believed that not enough Rus-
sian sailors could be found to man a single vessel. dad
the English papers fully comprehended the nature of the
case they would not have exposed themselves to ridicule
giving currency to such an absurd rumour.—New
York, Herald.
