The London "Times" is famous for its misrepre-
sensations OF America. The following adds anolh-
er calumny to the catalogue
"To the Editor Of the Times:
"SR: At n time when ngland's attention is anx-
iousy directed 10 the conduct Of America and her
Senate, and whilst the mob-oralors of the New
World are aspiring to unlimited continental
union, or, as they would term it, planispheric
amagamation Of the STARS (whose magnitude Brit
sh astronomers of non-celestal study fully able
to appreciate) with other stars Of nebulous OBJ
security, it may be gratifying to the Brtishers
tarnation awkward to the Jonathans be acquaint-
ed with the following fact: that, although Great
Britain's hardy sons do contribute some three
fourths Of the crews Of the United States navy
probably also, of their merch antvessels-ther is
not one man amongst them who will be the traitor
to his country to "trip an anchor or trim a sail,
much less Eight n match on board of that craft
which shall dare insult attack his own glorious
ensign. Nor can it be too generally known that
last year, when America agitated the same Oregon
question, and the intelligence became circulated in
the East, several Of her men-ofwar, then at anchor
in Singapore roads, unable to put to sea, in
consequence Of majority OF their crews, who were
Englishmen, going aft TO a man, and demanding Of
he captains and officers assurance that they
should not be required, by word or deed to WORK
their vessels against their country.
"Upon this assurance, and this only, have those
vessels ever been able to from their untoward
FIX; and they as well as others floating under the
spangled banner, will, most undoubtedly, become
placed in the same unenvabls position, should Mr..
Polk and his friends dare to move their pioneers one
inch upon the neutral ground of Oregon.
"'As a guarantee OF good faith, beg to enclose
my card, and the authority by which write the
above.
a remain, sir, your very obedient servant,
"a SAILOR"
To show how little confidence can be placed in
this charge, we submit the following contradiction
from one If the principal officers Of the Navy De.

There are some British seamen, doubtless, on board
