tors. as proposed by the bill; or. in other
words. to take the winding up of affairs
of the establishment out Of the hands

Mr.. Benton rose and addressed the

be brought to the same degree Of perfec-
ton had not your petitioner, under Provi-
dence, accomplished it; and, a. it must
be evident to all that Letters, Potent
would be of little use to the inventor in
consequence of various notifications or
Improvements which night be made, and
which never would have been thought
of, had not the way first bsen opened by
your petitioner. He therefore solicitsa .
special act ofthe Congress ofthe United
States, to secure to him and his heirs for
forty years, or for such other term % in
their wisdom may be deemed just, the
right of steering flying machines
through that portion of the earths at
mosphsre which presses on the United
States, or 50 far AZ their jurisdiction
may extend. -
By granting your petitioners request,
the honor of the inve .ltion shall be con.

INTERESTING FROM HAVANA.


The following letter from the Havana
announces, as will be seen, most import.
ant measure which is about to be taken in
regard to the commerce of that Island-it
is no other than the establishment in that
port OF free system OF "en!repot" fol
all the commodities of the world.
Mem York finer.
'Havanna, March 2. 1922.
"SIR: We have the satisfaction of an.
nouncing to you that the measure which
has been some time in contemplation, will
now undoubtedly be carried into effect,
having received the sanction of the Cortes
in Spain, and of all the authorities here,
VIZ: That OF establishing in this place a
deposit for merchandise of every descrip-
ton, with the liberty of re-exportation to
any quarter, and with every flag. on the
payment of one per cent, on import, and
one per cent on export only. The term
of such deposit will be any period under
twelve months and day.
"We anticipate the creates. benefit from
such an arrangement, as well with regard
to the already languishing commerce OF
this Island. as to our relations with other
countries. The situation OF this port, its
superior harbor in all seasons, and the
tranquility, in political point of view,
which it continues TO enjoy, amid the
storms whic agitate the surrounding CO.
lon:es, together, give il decided pre-
ference over every other near us, whilst
the immense exports from the Island enable
US TO furnish returns, not only for the i'm.
ports of internal consumption. but also for
such as may now be introduced for the
supplies Of all our neIgbbors.
ALREADY the average yearly crops Of
sugar exceed 500, 900 boxes assorted, ex-
elusive of Muscovado, which is consider
able; and of coffee 80 millions lbs. Cot.
ton is also raised, but not abundantly, and
the tobacco of this island. the cultivation
of which increases annually, forms already
an important article in quality and quanti-
ty. The value oil these amount to twelve
to fifteen millions; and, when we add the
logwood from Campeacby, cochineal, in
digo, bark, sarsaparella, and other pro-
ducts of the Maine, most generally to be
found here, the total value Of exports from
this place may be calculated to exceed 20
millions of dollars.
"Ofthis value small part only has
been met by that of the imports for the
consumption of the island; hence the me-
cessity of remittances Of specie to this
quarter; Of which several millions have
been introduced during the last shipping
season. Under the contemplated arrange
ment, the facility Of supplies OF goods at

The Navigation Bills before the House OF
Commons, were passed to third reading by a
majority of nine, on the 4th June, and it is
probable were soon after sent to the House of
Lords. We are notsurprised at the smallness
of the number which formed the majority.
We can discover nothing in them which will
be beneficial to these North American Colo
nies-they throw nearly the whole supply of
the West india Islands into the hands of our
neighbors. Had the British Merchant been
exempted from the payment of the duties i'm.
posed by the Bills, an advantageous Carrying
Trade would have been enjoyed by our Ship
ping. They certainly surrender an important
night to the United States, without any equiva-
lent whatever. The American Ports wall be
