The Swedish naval authorities are about to
launch a third monitor, which will start on an experi-
mental voyage of three months as soon as ready for sea.

The New York correspondent of the Standard,
in his letter published iu yesterday's issue of that
journal, continues his efforts to libel the country
from which he writes. " I can say," he states,
" without fear of contradiction, that there is no
other country in the world where the white skin
predominates in which so great a contempt for
human life exists, and there is no other country
where, all laws, human and divine, are so persistently
violated." 'We can say, in reply, that there is no
other country where the great mass of the peopl9
are so conservative and
_law abiding. That the
United States are deluged with the riff-riff and
criminals of Europe is true ; and that the city of
New York, the main receptacle into which the dregs
settle down, is very injuriously affected is equally
true. But it is to the honour of the Republican
Government of the country that the tendency is to
raise in the moral scale the immigrants received,
and we believe that no other nation could have borne
such an inroad without hopelessly sinking beneath

the burden. If immigration stopped, the nation
would rise quickly to a higher moral standard ; bu t
the upward tendency is balanced by the constant
influx. Nothing could be more easy than for the
Loudon correspondent of a New York daily to pic-
ture England as a sink of iniquity, basing his ob-
servations on the revelations of Trades' Unions and
of Joint-stock Companies—on the social evil—of

the prevailing drunkenness, and on the open vio-
lence to person and property practised in the broad
daylight in this great metropolis. Then we would
have the London journals commenting severely on
the injustice to and dislike of the Britisher, as dis-
played in the columns of the New York Herald
or the New York Times. The correspondent states
that in the city of New York and in the neighbour-
ing city of Brooklyn 13 murders have been coal'
witted since the preceding Sunday morning, that
is from the 9th to 15th June :—" People may ask
—To what is this demoralisation of American.

society due ? Probably, to no single cause. The
war bred disregard for human life, extravagance
in expenditure, a contempt for the restraints of law.'
But the war ended two years ago, and matters are,
worse now than they were then. How much 0`
our troubles are due to the horrible transfornl3'

tions that have been worked in our churches, hal
much to the triumph of the old feral instinet4
gratified in the conquest of the South, how nll-I°l3

to the growing love of display and bounce, I will
not venture to say. Not a little is certainly da`'

create, why blame the mob for desiring to see
stroy ? " We ask, to what is all the Ile
lately revealed in England due ? and we
lieve there is one answer to both, and that 3°'
that " the heart of man is deceitful above all thile;
and desperately wicked." After describing tb
.
horrible orgies in which the most abandoned 10
New York took part, the writer goes on to ss,
" that such things can have place in a country Dot
verned, as the Radicals assert, by a ' party of gre;,,
moral ideas'—in a pure Republic—will perhaps s'lj,
prise people who are accustomed to what Dlr.
W. Forney calls ' the effete civilisation of the ,ij
World.' " But all this is exceptional, and thelo;
fore unfair. The crime of a clergyman does 134
condemn the Church ; nor is England uncharitle
because there is more starvation and misery ja t
streets of London than elsewhere in the world.
