Among The visitors of the last week and who may
Ior aughs know be still here, were Commodore
barron, our late commissioner. NJ, Rhind and Mr.
james "A. Hamilton, United States District Attorney
lor New York. OF the business of the first know

nected with HIS late negotiations with the Sublime

1ut brilliant. question has been started as 70 the
disposition to he made of the fine Arabans presented
ny 'he sultan. IL is OF little Importance how shall
oe settled. The animals have arrived in the United
STATES and Will be equally valuable whether they
snail remain the property of the commissioner or he
sold to the highest bidder and The purchase money mt
into the Treasury. If sold there is.no doubt the
proceeds will reimburse The ont and salary of Ih
Randolph. But ! opprehcnd Mr. Rhnd NAV claim
them. He went to Constantinople with a commission
issued in the of the Senate which Won know bv
Its terms expired at the end of the next session there
Of So that he ceased to be commissioner or consul
as the case may have BEEN by virtue of that commits
sion, on the 3lst May last 1t is true his nomination
to the Senate was confirmed: bu, the commission
hereupon had not arrivedou at the time the present
was made by the Sultan. Indeed Mr. Rhind has
never received it.
Much is said of the commercial benefits of the mr.
rdngement with the sublime Port. I hone il will
turn out as 1t has been represented. 1t ought to be
very complete to compensate the disappointment Of
our crcduous merchants who had supposed when
they saw the procama ion of the President in relation
to Mr. McLaDes arrangement, that the ports of the
British West Indies were actually open 10 American
vessels. The fact is. directly the reverse The
American ports are open to British vessels coming
from the West Indies At This time know thai
many British vessels actually loading in our ports
for the British West Indies; and will proceed thither
by direct voyage; while the American merchants
are looking on without the permission participate
in the trade. By the time when this trade shall have
become reciprocal, the British West Indies will have
been supplied from produce but entirely at the
expense OF our navigation. Give John Bull three
months start. and, you may depend on it, the best
Yankee will have hard work TO come up with him.
Pie naked truth is. there had been so much Objected
to the late Administration account of the British
West India Trade that the present Administrations
has eXered every means to effect the same arrange
ment which had been before rendered by the British
Government; and at last has consented 10 receive il
with decided advantages against the commerce of The
United States. We shall see at the end of one wear
what this trade is worth; and we SHALL before that
time, learn to smile at the boated ignorance of the
conceited political economists of New York who &C
uay rejoiced at the arrival. that port of British
vessels, whose cargoes would yield ten thousand dol
lars in duties to the Treasury. Aye, indeed! and
WHO pocheteu the proutS on the cargOeS? British
shlppers Fhere lies the rub. That is not ALL these
same British vessels lose no time in loading in tie

entering there, will pay to the British Treasury ano
Their ten thousand dollars in duties Whose is the gain
Who pockets the freight? Who carries the proceed

Sirs The American merchants know they have hal
no lot or part in the matter The little children i
