The editor of the New York "Courrier des Etats
Uns, writing to his paper from London, under
date of July 18th, mentions his visit to the monster
steamship Great Britain; which, although an
nounced to sail on the 26th for New York, he says
il is generally thought would not be ready to start
by that day, as there many things still incom-
plete about her. The delay, however, would not be
more than fortnight, and she might certainly be
looked for here about the beginning of September
The engine of the Great Britain is of l,O00-horse
power; while that of the Great Western is only
$50, and the Cunald steamers 400. The Cunard
steamers measure about | 200 TONS the Great Wes-
tern about 700, and the Great Britain 3500-being
about double the capacity of the Great Western,
and three times that Of the Boston line. Immense
crowds were visiting the monster steamer-each
visiter paying eghtecn-pence for admission on
board. The editor feels great confidence in the
powers the Great Britain as saiIer, but doubts
its success as commercial speculation.
M. Gaillardet had paid t,co guinsds for admission
to the stalls of the Italian Opera-house, on one of
the evenings on which Taglioni, Carlota Grisi,
Lucille Grain, and Cerito had danced the great spas
de qtatrt,n arranged for them by Perrot. The pres
ent season at this house had been one of unusual
success--the receipts night having ever
been less than 300 guineas. The manager had
just purchased the theatre for f3, 100000 which he
certain of being able to pay out of the price of
the forty lower boxes which he had rented for thir
ty years to the principal English nobility. With
such resources, the manager was well able to com
bne all the highest talent in the world and, at the
same time, make his own fortune.-Pennsylpani

MEssRs. EDIroRs: You have already reported
the recent sad destruction of the Ocean House by
fire. Ii is wonderful how such disaster should
have occurred at such an hour when everything
seemingly favored the instant extinction Of the de-

The Ocean House was the largest boarding house

The whig prints are making merry over the mot
to of the new State of Florida--"Let us alone''-
the wel-known exclamation Of the manufacturers of
Lyons. The effort is excrucating, They say it
has an older date than the usually ascribed to
i-that it was, in fact the frantic exclamation Of an
"unclean spirit" in New Testament tmes--and
quote chapter and verse for it. We take it, the sem
timent is not confined to the Foridans alone be it's
origin what it may--whether it came from ''uncean
spirits" speaking Greek, or manufacturers speak
ing French. We suspect the New England manu-
facturers themselves would be very glad to be "let
alone" in the enjoyment of their immense profits at
the expense of the woogrowers; and that the latter
interest think they would have been quite as well
off had they been ''let Alone" when the wings dis
honestly undertook to protect them. Certain it is
that opposite and conflicting interests, just at this
moment, acting up to the spirit of the 'letalone"
sentiment of the new State of Florida, though pull

GENERAL ALMoNTE.--The "Courrier DIES Etats

tons in the first instance, has since maintained
firm belief that the posiponement of hostile measures
against the United States on the part of Mexico,
rendered any resistance now almost impossible

opinion by no less parsonage than General Al
monte himself. The General expected the passage
Of the annexation resolutions by our Congress to be
followed by a declaration of war, and seizures of
American property on the part Of Mexico; but, dis
appointed in this, he has decided in his opinion that
opposition had been rendered hopeless and impossi-
BILE by this delay. The Courier" therefore, is in
clmed to doubt the correctness of the last reports
from Mexico that General Almonte had accepted

MoNTREAL.--A letter from Montreal, published

MoNTREAL.--A letter from Montreal, published
in the New York Evening Gazette, says:
"The Americans are literally beseging this city,
crowding hotels, filling stages, and forming con-
spicuous parties about the streets of Montreal.
This morning, nearly forty arrived at Bascoe's ho-
tel, in stages from the upper lakes--mostly from
Philadelphia and New York--all bound for Que
bee. The military parades--the priests in their
black funeral robes--the compact stone blocks-the
clean, macsdamized and wooden pavements, togeth-
or with the exceedingly agreeable aspect Of the
pace-all tend TO delight our friends with Montre-
al, so utterly unlike any American city"
The writer goes on to speak of some of the public
works of Montreal, which are all executed by the
government. The locks Of the Lachine canal,
which connects the st. Lawrence with the upper
lakes will float the largest Liverpool ships; says
the letter, and no doubt truly. 1t will not be long
before some Of these Liverpool ships seen at
Chicago, and all along the lakes at every harbor,
discharging cargoes of British goods directly import
ed. Perhaps, also, the sight of British armed ves-
sells, introduced from the Atlantic, may soon greet
the eyes of our people on the lake shores.

Among the items Of news by the last arrival from
Europe, not the least gratifying is the rise in the
quotation of American securities The resolution of
Pennsylvania to pay up the interest on her bonds,
has evidently had the effect of raising the credit of
other delinquent States. This depression of Ameri-
can credit in Europe cannot last much longer. From
the natural course Of things, there must be early
resuscitatlon The true of our late monetary
embarrassment, and the state of things produced
thereby, never understood on the other side OF
the water, or there never would have been heard
loud an outcry against American dishonesty and
swindling. few Of States are loaded with
heavy responsibilities; but, upon examination it will
be found that their resources bear more than ade
quate proportion to their Indebtedness Let COM
parson be drawn between any of the European gov
ernments and one of the delinquent States of our
Union, and let that one be the deepest in debts the
result of the parallel will show that there is not
member of our confederacy whose assets and physi.
cal resources do not bear better proportion to its
debts than do those of the most solvent among the Eu
ropean States. Why, then, it may be asked, does
not our credit stand equally high in foreign mar
kef The cause of this is, partly ignorance of the
nature of institutions and pecunary resources
and partly distrus, Of American honesty. The first
difficulty is fast vanishing before the spread of
knowledge. Information about American affairs is
now eagerly sought for throughout Europe and the
facilities for obtaining it so greatly multi
piled, that the growing prosperity and vast capab
ties OF the United States cannot be much longer
known abroad As to the aforementioned obstacle
the determination of the deaultng States to step for
ward and pay up their obligations will soon con-
vince foreign capitalists that their delinquency was
not owing TO the want Of principle, but to the want
of present ability. Henceforth, then, gradual and
constant Improvement may be anticipated in the
value Of American securities. The operation of
causes now work cannot fail soon to restore our
credit abroad to the high level it occupied in
the palmy days gone by.--.N o. Bulletin.

afternoon, between four and FIVE o'clock, at Hobo

passing and repassing and after the first sentiments
of horror had passed away, the body was conveyed
TO the house Of the coroner, where an inquest was
held, and verdict rendered accordingly. In the
pockets of the deceased were found two cards, on
which he had written few words, giving, as rea-

ncar-sighted, and had reason to apprehend that
his family would come to want. The body of the
unfortunate gentleman was delivered to his son,
who had been sent for; and il was conveyed to his
