DEATH OF THE DUKE OF ORLEANS.
The French papers are almost exclusively filled
with lamentations on account of the accidental
death of his ROYAL HighRess the Duke Of Orleans.
This nobleman no less conspicuous Tor his am
liable Qualities of mind and heart, which enIeared
him to all ranks Of society with whom circumstan-
ces brought his Royal Highness into contact, than

eat political opponents Of his family.-it appears
that he was to review several regiments the

ture obedience, he obliged the traders to sign bond
for their future good behavior. Out of these causes
grew the war, said the lecturer learn from the
express declaration of Lom Pamerston himself.
The lecturer then passed TO speak of the embas-
sy of Lord Napier, whom he pronounced compound
of folly and arrogance-most eminenty unfit for the
service assigned himat foolishly sensitive and
grossly ignorant of the manner in which his duties
should have been performed. In all her diplomatic
correspondence, England affected to treat the Chinese
as barbarians, while China, protesting to regard her
as barbarian fact treated her Christian In no Eng
fish official document do find that the Chinese re-
fused to receive their ambassadors. True, they were
not always successful, because their demands were
such as the Chinese could not submit to- but this was
no Just cause for war. Nothing, he said so much ex
cited the Indignation of the Chinese as the tone oil
dictaton which England assumed in all her inter-
course In our own country we quarrelled among
ourselves if we chose but the slightest attempt al
foreign dctation at brought together TO make
common cause against common enemy Inc Chi.
nese it could not be denied, a self-conceited
race and the speaker had desire to apologize ior
their foibes and weaknesses-these must be lett TO
the hand Of time for correction.
The lecturer paid high tribute Of praise to the
American merchants at Canton, for their conduct
throughout the difficulties honorable in the highest
degree. He did not wish, he said, to excite any
urfriendy feeling towards England-she was great
and glorions nation-her name and her fame were
linked with cur own, and we had kindred and a
kindly feeling in all that appertained to her. But
hers was Notwithstanding government after all

STEAM FRIGATE MISSOURI.
A. B. ROMAN. .
Governor of Louisiana.

UNAccouNTABLE CIRCUMSTANCE ON BoARD.-The
officers of this fine ship, which is lying at the
Navy Yard, Brooklyn, were awakened early on Tues
day morning, on finding the frigate keeling over al
most on her beam ends. AT first was supposed that
as the tide was falling of the ships works had
got entanged with the wharf, as she swung away
from her moorings but finding all clear in that direc-
tion they discovered that she aground, and
fast sinking in the mud
On farther examination, it was found that there
five six feet of water in the hold which
from the stop-cocks, for the supply Of the boilers,
having been left open. How this happened is atpre-
sent the subject Of rigid inquiry There had been
carpenters on board during Monday, and the engineer
supposes that the stop-cocks must have been left open
by some Of them, but whether by design, or through
negligence, he cannot say. Had the frigate been ~
ing in deep water, in the stream, there seems room
for little doubt that she would have gone down As
it is, happy to find that she has sustained little
no damage.
The Franklin IA had very narrow escape of the
kind several years ago, while lying at anchor
in New York bay. We forget the cause, if we ever
knew precisely what it was but we remember that in
a few minutes that noble ship would have gone
down with all on board.-.N Y Commercial.

THE RAILROADS AND THE MAILS

The Postmaster General missed figure in inviting
the Presidents Of the several Railroads in the United
States 10 meet him and each other at Washington
tie, good honest man probably supposed that the in
teresl of the Corporations the Government and ofthe
people, might be promoted by such meeting aud
that they would come together disposed to consult he
interest of the public well as their own. The gen
temen invited, in consequence of the invitation were
satisfied of their Importance to the Department and
some of them feeling that Importance, very probably
went on determined to dictate rather than to yield
The Postmaster General furnished them with excel
lent accommodations for consultation and them
| a message, setting forth his views, and oursng,
like a book upon the proper subservency of private
interest to public good. The gentle consulted
and very soon despatched their business. They were
men of business and of course, the friends
either Of long sessions or long leeches The result
of their deliberations might be expressed with the
brevity of Dean Swift's Charity Sermon and in the
same language-"lf you like the terms, down with
he dust The gentlemen Of the Corporations dis.
persed and the mails on many important routes in
stead of being conveyed in cars propelled by steam,
are now conveyed in wagons drawn by horses. The
more the Postmaster General and the Railroad Pre-
sldents met together the wider they got apart-and
the the former coaxed the latter the more the a,
ter would not come.
We may be mistaken in supposing that these Cor
porations have not on hand such stock ofpopuaity
and public confidence as TO enable them to sustain
unnecessary controversy with the Department
point so intimately concerning the interests Of the
whole community. 1t is certain that they have not
the people at their feet the Government in their
hands, and if human nature unchanged and his.
tory is true they will lose than they gain by
grasping at too much.
The public will undoubtedly feel deeply the loss of
the accommodation which they might and Dug to
JOY by the transportation Of the mails over the rail-
roads but it is not quite certain that they will
tribute The failure to the Government and join hands
with the Corporations in their controversy with the
Post Office.
nnIa rctop nj hat he apJ ar Rail
road Corporation will carry the mails usual and on
terms advantageous to themselves and satisfactory to
the Department The Eastern Railroad to Portsmouth
and the Western Railroad from Boston to Albany,
have not yet we believe been able to accede to the
terms of the Department or to bring the Postmaster
General to theirs.

MR.. BENTON,S PROTEST.

Wemust condemn Mr. Benton for the notoriety
he has chosen to give to his personal affairs--we
condemn HIM for suffering his zeal for dogma
to overcome every other consideration-we con-
denim him for making party paramount to coun-
try-and we condemn him for the very reasons
which he assigns in his Justification He says
that the Government is without money and Gre
dit. Such being the fact, it is the imperative
duty OF every patriot-of every American Sena-
tor-lf he cannot do any thing towards support
ing the credit, at least to commit no act which
would tend to impair it. And what has Mr..
Benton done? He has published from his place
in the Senate his own course with regard to Co
vernment paper-he has given to the world the
influence of his example-he insinuates de-
probation in the Treasury notes-and he does
what lies in his power to enhance that depre-
