IKDIAH NAvY.-The East India Company have |
caused three steam vessels to BE- but for the pro
lection Of our trade in the East which are now mt
ting out in the East India Docks, and will proceed
TO their stations about the latter end OF the month";
They are about 500 tons each, and Will be armed
with very heavy metal. 1t is to be hoped they Will
fully answer the purpose for which they are intend
ed, the extirpation OF piracy for which the Indian
seas have So long been noted; and where, aitnougn
the East India Company have always had an extern
sive naval force yet from the prevalence OF certain
winds at particular seasons and the frequent occur
renee OF Gains in those atudes the pirates, IN their
row boats, have often baled their pursuers In very
swift sailing vessels.
STATE OF TRADE ENGLAND AND AMERICA
At present, if not absolute distress, much anxiety
and embarrassment prevail in England and America.
The British Queen, which arrived on Tuesday last
from New York, brings accounts Of the continuance
Of a mighty struggle with Commercial and monetary
difficulties. The efforts to pay their debts to this
country are combined with operations mourning
fresh liabilities to English capitalists. The same
vessel which carries bullion and bills Of exchange
representing produce shipped, also brings bonds and
post notes and other promises to pay exorbantly Tor
imme date accommodation. And il would seem that
although the means adopted by Englishmen to raise
funds in America are not Of the same description,
nevertheless the markets of the United States are
resorted 70 for the purpose Of obtaining ready money
have, within a month, been sold at auction in New
York and Philadelphia at low prices, account OF
the English owners. No doubt the gain Of such
transactions rests eventually with the purchaser
the loss with the needy sellers but, in the time,
additional pressure put upon the American money
market just when it most needs relief.
This state Of things is unnatural as well as dis
tressing Permanent, or even Of long duration, it
cannot be; but the symptoms IL speedy Improvement
not visible. The manufacturers of the North Of
England preparing for dull season. " In conse
qnence Of the nnfavorable prospects Of the coming
winter" says the Manchester Guardian number
Of ind idual spnners and manufacturers, in various
parts Of the neighberhood, have already ceased to
light up their factories We have not heard Of any
agreement that effect, but understand that several
ctngs for the purpose Of considering the subject
are in contemplation"
The foreign exchanges in defiance of every effort to
support them continue to decline; and further con
traction Of accommodation bv the Bank Of England is
anticipated All this suffering exists IN the midst OF
the elements Of pro perity, industry, intelligence,
perience, land and raw produce in abundance on one
side Of the Atlantic; capital and mechanical skill on
the Others both countries brought closely together
by the magic powers Of steam, that interchange Of
commodities is easy and not expensive; how does il
happen that hear Of nothing bat distress embarrass-

AMERICAN BEAUTY.-She was q new blown rose
scarcely past sixteen, with black eyes and black
hair, straight Crecan nose, and, to say ALL she had
dimples in her cheeks Her neck, In gracefulness
and whteness, might have challeng ed that Of swan
and, although her bust what dminutive, il
CORES ponded well with her slender waist and the
extreme delcacy of her hands and feet. In short.
she was one Of those American beauties one cannot
behold without loving and plying az the same time;
for such Is the exquisite proportion and symmetry
OF their limbs, that not atom Of them can suffer
the least alteration without destroying the harmony
Of the whole. One might compare their beauty 10
that Of elegantly turned period in which you can
not alter one word without destroying the whole sen
tence; or, TO use more correct simile 20 q finished
piece Of poetry, which, by the alteration Of single
SYLLABLE degenerates into prose. never coald look
on any one of those sylphs without feeling nvo-
luntary motion 10 place them, like other Jewels in
some velvet ecrin, to protect them from vulgar
Arisfocracy in America. From the Skefch-book ofa
