from the United States may appear we have no good
reason for changing the views we expressed last
week against the probability OF any active hostlll
TIES arising between them and Mexico. The subject
/ OF the greatest importance that is engaging the
attention OF the most Influential men Of all parties,
though comparatively little appears with respect to
1t IN the public journals, IS that of the tariff It's
well known that Mr. Walker the able Secretary OF
the Treasury, is indefatgaby engaged at this mo-
ment In framing proposition to be submitted to
Congress when II meets in December, on the part
OF the government, with view TO reduce the tariff
| strictly within revenue considerations
/ 1t England and America were each To pursue in
dependently OF each other, that policy best calcua-
ted 70 promote their own individual interests, they
would eacn 90 exactly mat which Is most to the IN.
terest OF the other. This may appear somewhat
paradoxical to that old and bigoted spirit,
which made one country look with jealousy on the
prosperity OF Others but II will be well understood
ny those who see the best interests OF every coun
try promoted by the success OF those with which
they are IN commercial connection. As sindi,iduals
will best prosper IN the midst OF wealthy commu-
nifty, so countries will best advance, when surround
ed and connected with others which wealthy
and prosperous. Liverpool and Manchester, and
the millions of operatives in the manufacturing dis
rlcts, are scarcely less connected with, interested
in, the prosperity OF New York and New Orleans,
and the vast country that lies behind
| them, than they with London, Bristol, and
| Glasgow. Next to bountiful supply OF food, the
| most important consideration tor the industry
| OF this country is the cotton crop OF the United
Sates and to the growers OF that article the next
thing in importance to the Of the crop itself,
is the state OF trade in Lancashire; and In each
country with these and other great mutual interests,
all others are directly and indirectly 80 mixed up,
that prosperity depression cannot exist here with
out rehecng their influences there there, without
being felt here. II thus the true and best interests
| of the two countries be identical; If the policy
which each would pursue, considering only what is
wisest on Its own account, be precisely that which
is best for the other, the negotiation between Mr.
McLane and Lord Aberdeen should be as simple

circumstances and relations between the two coun
tries point so distinctly the line OF policy which
each should pursue, that negotiation would appear
unnecessary. And we have much reason to believe
that, il the hands OF these ministers not ham,
| pered by the prejudlces and ignorance which still
attach to portion of the public in both countries,
very little negotiation would be required, in order to
place the commercial relations between these two
great countries, SO naturally and so Intimately asso
ciated, the most satisfactory and permanent
footing.-London Economist, Sept. 20.

ordinary quarterly court of the bank propretors took

SPORTS OF THE THREE QUEENS There are three
Queehs in Europe at this time, and there Is slngu
physiological thesis at the uext meeting OF the Br
tish Association, and it is this-they all three OF
slender stature. The Queen of Spain is fond of sl
gar candy, and bon-bOns OF all kinds has taken les
sons in boxing from her mother, and, after prayers,
she glorles IN bull tights and bleeding horses The
Queen OF Portugal patronlses London porter, and
practices swinging on rope between two trees, at
| such times only, we must say, when her royal and
beloved consort Is not teaching her to read Ian
guage which he himself but imperfecty understands.
Our own gracious Sovereign loves boating and ro-
nance, steamng, rallroading, and sights, pheasant
shooting, otter hunting, deer saugherDg in Germa-
ny, and 'big rolling tears from beautifully blue
| eyes.
Which of the three lovely Queens is OF the most
tender nature, or of the most melting mood we can
not say; but loyalty compels to believe that Queen
Victoria bears the palm The Qneen oil Spain revels
with inexpressble delight the dying throes OF
a noble animal, pierced with burning darts, and GO
ring embowelled horses Queen Victoria weeps at
the sight of wounded otter, and a wounded stag
Queens in all countries, particularly young Queens
Ike the ilustrlous to whom we have the honor
to aude, rule the fashions, regulate public taste, and
have considerable sway over morals and manners
For instance, ourmuch beloved Sovereign prescrbes
by example, the longitude OF pettlcoat the chequers
OF shawl, and dimensions OF bonnet Ii her dress
touches the ground, every lady in the land becomes
road raker and raises dust scrapes the mud when
she walks out. If her Majestys bonnet be OF the
OF aiourpound flour scoop, all her iar and devoted
subjects wear small scopes If her parasol be no
| bigger than two-qnart punch-bowl, all parasols
are, ought to be, OF that measurement.
These beng facts, we have amused ourselves by
fancying-it IS only fancy-what Queen Victoria
| would do if she were honoured with visit by her
royal sister Of Spain Love and affection, aye, and
even duty would induce the former to study the re-
markabe and masculine tastes OF the latter. What
| then! The Queen of Spain, in her extensive read
ing, must be well acquainted with the renowned
gladatoral feats OF the English. No doubt but she
| Is familiar with the names of Humphres, and Men
doza, Black Richmond, and Deaf Burke, the two
Game Chickens, and a long list of heroes, with
whom, we grleve to say, we ourselves are not very
familiar. Well then, If her Majesty were TO visit
| Wlndsor-not an improbable event-wOuld 1t not be
expected OF Queen Victoria to give Queen Isabella
| some insight, by splendid exhibition in the
ring, OF the peoples SPORT the science, the pluck,
and the ct ceteas OF boxing match
ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. a
week passes without some n w addition 10 the al
ready unequaled collection of scientific Inventions
which are to be found In the Museum OF this e eel
lent institution. Among those OF more recent date,
| we observed model ol novel invention, lately
brought from the United States, and constructed by
Mr. Coleman; II Is exceedingly ingenious and Cal.
cuated TO be OF much utility in enabling trains to
cend activities on railroads. 1t has archlme-
dian screw between the axles OF the carriage, which
| comes In contact, when required, with screw OF
irctIon-coars placed between the rails, and by the
means OF this conrivance the carriage and tram at
tached to II are forced up the incline. the appara-
tus IS brought INTO action without delay or stoppage,
and IN the model, mounts gradient OF about one
IN six. IL Is well worth the attention OF men OF SCI
ence, and also the public at large, for In the event OF
IT succeeding, 1t will be of immense advantage to
some of the numerous railroads in contemplation.
The DISEASE THE PoTATo CRoP.-There
seem now to be very few districts in Great Britain
In winch the potato crops are not more or less al
fected by the disease which has made such dreadful
ravages In Belgium, Holland, Germany, and France,
as well as on the otner side OF the Atlantic, the
United States and Canada. Hitherto, however, the
damage done IN this country is not nearly great
as that on the continent and happily in Ireland the
country IN which the preservation Of the potato
crops Is nothing less than question of lite death,
the disease appears to be less prevalent than any
country In which the potato is grown Sul the
rayages OF the disease are very alarming there.
| IL appears that 80 flucuatlng is the Repeal rent
and SO reduced its amount, that some weeks 1t does
not exceed fib9, while the outlay figures at ECO.
THIS Is living upon the loss-a system that even the
figures OF Mr. Hume could not justify.
