Large and Faluable argo.-The ship Envoy
arrived at Boston on Thursday last, from Liver
pool, was freishted with the largest and most va
liable cargo, that has reached that port in sin.
gle vessel for many years. The ship is 500 tons
burthen. and she had OH board 784 tons of mea.
sursment goods, the invoice value of which at
Liverpool. was upwards of 9SOO. 900. or nearly
Sl,4OO,0O0. and it is supposed that the duties on
the cargo will amount to between $780, 900 an
100000, Capt. Akerman was informed at the
Liverpool Custom House, that the bounty on
the goods shipped by the Envoy was greater IN
amount than had ever occurred ON any vessel
that ever cleared from that port. This is &C
counted for in part from the fact that the bounty
on all Linen Goods expired on all not ahoat af.
ter the 9Th JAM, and consequently she was crow.
ded with goods Of that description prior to that
date to secure the bounty.

kindly admitted by the keeper, and was
moved to tenderness on meeting with his
Christian brethren, to find them clad in the

are incarcerated. On the Sabbath thew

comfortable shoes and stockings, all of

no look of conscious guilt. Their eve was

We perceive that the Directors of this

renewal OF its charter. 1t has already been
objected that this application is premature
--ihasmnch as the old charter will not ex-

to know as seon as possible whether its ex-

1886, or whether it will he compelled at that
period to bring its business to a final close,
1t has also been alleged that this is a poli,i-

were true-if the Bank had lent its infiu-

The great snrrossing topic with both sexes,
for both take an interest in this dry question
when embellished by the eloquence Of Clay and
Hayne, is the American System. The most
intense interest is felt in the deliberations OF the
two Houses OF Congress on this subject, The
great argument of the South Is, that they are
taxed to support the North-that the system is
desolating them aud enriching US. Our politics
deny the first assertion and prove that the sys-
TEN lessons prices. The Souihrons answer,
that is the mischief for it demonstrates the val
ne of our great staple. The North AYERS, that
If the South is being desolated, it is slavery
which produces this desolatlon; they cite the
debates in the Vire inia Legislature 20 prove it
and add, that if The whites of the South, in
stead of rolling in their splendid equipages, and
carelessly overseeing their property, will work
as Northern men work from morning 20 night
and bring up their children 10 work, and dis
pose of their slaves then their rich soil teeming
with profusion Of natures giils, will soon put
the South far beyond the North. MIR. Clay
urged an argument like this in his great speech.
He did not hesitate to say, that the reason why
Charleston had lost its navigation was found III
the existence of that very Free Trade that the
South was so zealously woong. Her coasting
trade had fallen into the hands OF the more en-
terprzlng and hardy seameA OF Maine and Mas
sachusetts-and her foreign trade was cut up
by the admission of British vessels, which now
went to Charleston and took cotton freigh.s, al
a smaller sum than the Soutberner could afford
Thus it was Free Trade with the North anC
Free Trade with England, that was running thu
very city that was yet clamoring for more o
this poison. The truth is, that the great ques
tion between the North and South is, betpsel
Stare and free labor. The South argues, thu
eur fTeemeB should be leUeiled touh her siaves
The North replies, you mast abolish Slavery
and then ceaLth ,cM be as much difuSed wu
you as sith us-POrtL0ad .4d1ertiSer.
