L. 1-1 YAM, Proprietor. The largest and most splendid in the
world at the under-mentioned charges, warranted equal in
every respect, as regards quality, style, and fashion, to any
elnanating from the most fashionable houses at the West-end,
where those who pay prompt are obliged to suffer for persons
v.t'9 take unlimited credit. The Proprietor having six very
ex tensive establishments, advantageously situated in the principal
manufacturing towns in the kingdom, and having capital at com-
mand, he is enabled to take every advantage of the fluctuations
of the markets, independently of which he is a manufacturer of a
great part of his stock. His enormous consumption enables him
to buy immense quantities of goods of very first-rate quality for
cash, considerably below their real value; and as he pursues but
one system in selling, charging a uniform percentage, the lowest
ever offered to the public : the result is that those who honour
him with their confidence and commands will receive the full
benefit of his capital and experience. An immense quantity of
gqods always on hand, suitable for immediate use, made in first-
rate style and fashion, and at really astonishing prices. The
Proprietor particularly invites attention to his immense stock
of waistcoats, the newest, and richest designs are always kept
3n hand, ready made, splendidly cut, and manufactured in the
best possible manner : and he can say, without exception,
that he is the largest maker in the kingdom, 1,000 Waistcoats
being manufactured daily for his carious Establishments.

THE SALE TESTIMONIAL.

(From the Bombay Times.)
We take blame to ourselves that we have not, be-
fore now, adverted to the subscription for a Sword, or
testimonial of some sort, fo Sir Robert Sale, now in
progress amongst the Bengal civilians. This move-
ment amongst the members, of the civil service is as
graceful .as it is well-merited ; and as its
object, and the time of its selection, have been
well chosen. The amount subscribed by each has
been limited to a maximum of Rs. 10, and it is
needless to state that no subscription under this
has' been set down. We have not observed
what the grand total on the list presently amounts
to,
.but we should think that, by the time the
papers are called in, it might be guessed at by
multiplying 460—the number of civil servants—
by 10, the amount subscribed by each—that
is, to Its. 4,600. It is proposed to subscribe for a
separate testimonial to Lady Sale : and certainly no-
thing can more tend to enhance the self-satisfaction
which her heroic husband must feel at the position
his own gallant conduct has procured for him, than
to know how becomingly those who are dearest to
him have borne themselves throughout a period of
unexampled trial, where courage and patience were
of such unappreciable value. It is, we trust, re-
served for Lady Sale to be the chronicler of those
fearful scenes in the midst of which the hearts of
so many men failed them, but where her's never
for one moment quailed. And, poor Sturt—yet
why should we say poor of one who fills a hero's
grave, where so many siMP forgotte4,—in the
midst of the homage paid to ;,his living relations,
his memory must not be unremembered. A nation's
gratitude is due to them, and will be accorded them :
—the evidence of the estimation in which they are
held by their fellow-citizens will speedily be with
them. We trust that the gallant veteran and his
heroic lady,—with their bereaved daughter, the widow
of the bravest soldier who fell' at Tezeen, and who,
had he found spirits congenial, might have saved
Caubul—may speedily be restored to their country ;
and withdrawing themselves at length from the perils
of war, live through many a tranquil day of the bright
autumn of a green old age, to reflect on the deeds
they have done, and the dangers and difficulties they
have endured--knowing that, while England remains
what she is and has ever been, it is on characters and
conduct such as theirs that it is her pride and glory to I
dwell !

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES.

(From Cleave's England and America contrasted.")
The constitution is essentially popular, and there is
no office in the country to which a naturalised
foreigner is ineligible.
The Government is strictly republican. The ad-
ministration of affairs is confided by the federal con-
stitution to three grand departments, namely, the
legislative, executive, and the justiciary. The legis-
lative branch of government is composed of delegates
chosen from the body of the people, for the period of
two years, who are required to assemble in general
congress annually, for the purpose of enacting such
laws and deliberating upon such subjects as the exi-
gencies of the country at large may require. This
body is denominated the House of Representatives,
who, in conjunction with the Senate, composed of two
Members from each State, chosen by the territorial
legislatures, constitute the first department.
The Executive branch of the Government is con-
stituted by the President, who is elected by the people
for the period of four years, and the Senate, without
whose advice and consent the President is almost
wholly devoid of power, not having authority even to
appoint his own cabinet council.
The Judiciary is composed of seven Judges, nomi-
nated by the President, and confirmed by the Senate,
who are supreme in all their decisions upon legal and
constitutional questions referred to them in the shape
of appeals, not only from State sovereignties, but also
from the Grand Consolidated Union. These Judges
are appointed during good behaviour, and are ame-
nable to the people for official misconduct only through
the medium of the United States' Senate.
The Executive branch of the Government is subdi-
vided into the following departments. viz.

Department of State—,
Department of the Treasury,
Post-office Department,
Department of War

theAhtetaolnieoyf-I,%Grheincehr
Department of the Navy,
r
they.are in-
aalr'e styled secretaries ;
eligible to a seat in either House of the National
Representation, but sit as a Privy Council, for advice
to the President in all matters with which he is offi-
cially charged. The three grand divisions of Go -
vernment enact and carry into effect all laws of a ge-
neral nature, and superintend the welfare of the whole
Union, but refer to local or State assemblies the power
of governing themselves, agreeably to the wishes of
the people, in their own particular mode; hence it is
that no two of the States are governed alike or sub-
ject to the same cote of laws.
The district of Columbia, which has been appro-
priated exclusively to the uses and purposes of the
general Government, contains three cities, viz., Wash-
ington, Georgetown, and Alexandria. In the former
city are located the Capitol of the nation, the Presi-
dent's house, and all other public buildings, rendered
necessary at the seat of Government. The Capitol is
built after the plan of St. Peter's Cathedral at Rome.
The President's house is large and magnificently fur-
nished, and has very much the appearance of Gold-
smith's hall, in rear of the General Post-office, Lon-
don. White marble being found in the greatest pro-
fusion in many parts of the United States, all public
and many private buildings are built of that beautiful
and splendid material. The district of Columbia is
only a place of importance during the sessions of Con-
gress ; its population is little short of fifty thousand.
The salaries of the leading public officers are as
follow :

President, per annum . 425,000 or £5,000 0
Vice .President 5,000 or 1,000 0
Secretary of State ......... 6,000 or 1,200 0
Secretary of Treasury 6,000 or 1,200 0
Secretary of War .......... 6,000 or 1,200 0
Secretary of Navy ....... 6,000 or 1,200 0
Postmaster General 6,000 or 1,200 0
Foreign Ministers .... 9,000 or 1,800 0
Charge des Affaires ... . .... 3,500 or 700 0
Members of Congress, per day,
during the session
Members of the Senate ...... 12 or 2 8
and one day's pay for each twenty miles travelling to
and returning from the seat of Government, according
to the most direct mail route.

STEAM AN
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—Having read the expose in the Times of this
morning of the discouraging situation of the different
Atlantic Steam Navigation Companies, I take the
liberty of offering a few suggestions with respect to
the West India and Notth American lines, which I
consideration of those
companies, and would receive the attention and think are worthy of the serious
under their notice. properly brought
con-
currence of the Government, if

........„ ........ .............
Almost every person who possessed a knowledge
of the expense of steam-ships pronounced from the
beginning that the West India Company must prove
a failure, and the prediction has unfortunately been
realised. It is now generally understood, that the
Company have made a new arrangement with Go-
vernment, by which certain parts of their contract
have been modified, and the service to be performed
greatly reduced. They were obliged by
their origi-
nal contract to dispatch a steamer every fortnight
from Havannah to New Orleans,
Charleston, New
York, and Halifax, for what. Purpose no one could
ever conjecture; this service is under the modified
contract to be dispensed with. St. Thomas is to be
made the central depot, from which, on the arrival of
the steamer every fortnight from England, four
steamers are to be dispatched to the British islands,
but the mails for Mexico and the foreign islands are
only to be forwarded by every alternate steamer, or
once a month.
These alterations will doubtless effect a considerable
saving, but they will never either retrieve the affairs
of the Company, nor will the public derive the ad-
vantage of having the mails carried with greater cer-
tainty or speed. The principal evil remains unaltered.
The - Company have undertaken, and still persist in the
plan of conveying the mails between the islands in
steamers of 1,500 tons and 500 horses' power, whereas
the service could be performed at less than one half of
the expense by steamers of 500 tons and 200 horses'
power, and with a much
greater degree of certainty,
the smaller steamer being much more manageable,
and much better adapted for running into harbours.
Any man acquainted with the expense of steamers
0
will inform you that you increase
the size and
power of a ship you increase the expense in a much
greater ratio ; the expenditure and wear and tear of
a vessel of 1,200 tons, and 400 horses' power, will be
far more than double that of one of 600 tons, and 200
horses' power.
