crnrneat once take oil these old restrictions for
such length Of time, it wilt not only be diff
cult to replace them, but the spirit of the age
will impel the Chambers to extend the same
principles 10 other branches of trade. Indeed, it
is generally believed that the high tariff system
on foreign trade, has not only received its death
blow in England, but that France first, and other
countries in Europe afterwards, will follow In
the wake of England and the United States
Golden, the great free trade apostle OF England,
was very Hospitality received here by the King
and his Ministers, few months ago. O'Con-
nell, who has been here few days, on his way
to Italy and better health, received not the slight
est attention from Louis Philippe.
BEFORE forget, let me advise all readers and
persons in public life, to finish the Mexican war
as soon as possible, and then go ploughng,
sowing, planting, and raising every kind Of food
that will sell in Europe. According to all appear
ances and all calculations the year 1877 will
exhibit great deficiency AS that Of 1886
| This opinion is already entertained and promu-
gated by many thinkers and reasoners in France
| and England. Some even 60 so far as to say
that the next crops will be even more deficient
than the last The potato plague is not consd-
cred at its highest point, according to certain
experiments already made. II is even spreading
into other countries The general population,
Notwithstanding the deaths by ia nine, is still
increasing, and all the old stocks of grain are
very much diminished from the point they
reached years back. Russia and the United
States the only countries looked at, that con-
tain the people and the land capable of raising
increased supplies sufficient to feed the hungry
population of Western Europe. In agricultural
pursuits, the American farmer certainly beat
the Russian serf, and in richness of soil, neither
Russia nor the old world can point to such vast
mines as the bottoms and prairies of the "Far
West" Finish the Mexican war as fast as you
can, and then go to work on your farms.
LATER FROM BRAzrI.-By the Evena Bandel
we are in receipt of files of Ell formal no Co.
me,cio of Rio Janero, up to the 23d of March.
Papers had been received there from Montevidec
up to the 1lth. The U. S. brig cambridge was
| expected daily from that port. General Rivera
was at Martin Garcia with the remainder of the
forces that TO operate against Uruguay
They going to Colonia, il wus said. The
Oribestas had retired five leagues from that |
point. The dates from Buenos Ayres were to
the 24th February. The House of Representa-
tives had replied to the message of Gen Rosas,
fully approving of his policy.
The Montevdeo papers publish decree,
dated Concordia, 10th Feb, prohibiting the re-
ception of all articles in ports Of that province,
Entire Rios, from Montevideo excepting such as
should be transhipped in that port, with licenses
from President Oribe. On the arrival of a YES
sci in Entire Rios from Montevideo, her papers |
were to be forwarded to Gen. Urquizas head
quarters, for the admitance or non-admittance |
of the same.
THE New HAvRE PACKET New YoRK.-There |
quite brilliant tste given by the gallant
commander on board this noble ship yesterday.
The assemblage large, and composed Of
the elite of our citizens,-we doubt whether any
ship ever ahoat was graced by greater array
of beauty than that which honored the New
York on the occasion-there could not have
been less than two hundred on board, two
thirds of whom were ladies'.
The affair elegant nothing could have
been more chaste nothing more delcately ar
ranged The richly decorated cabins prese nted
a scene of grace and gaiety.
The New York is new vessel, and about to
leave on her first voyage to Havre. Her d.
mansions we have already given, and will
now only state that she is the largest ship in the |
IIavre line. Her cabins are most comfortable.
The state rooms are large, and are not equalled
in beauty or conveniences by any of the apart
ments in the largest hotels in the United
States-they are somewhat similar to those of
the packet ship Admiral.
This fine ship belongs to Messrs. Fox g. Liv-
ingston's line of packets and sails on the 18th
inst, under the command Of Capt. Lines, for.
mery of the Iowa-a sailor, a gentleman, and
IA good physician. ,.t
THE EASTERN MAIL.-The Eastern mail, due
Yesterday morning, did not arrive till past four
in the afternoon, in consequence of the Oregon
having been detained by the fog in Fishers Island
Sound.
Captain Thayer left Stonington at half past II
o'clock and had he not been misled by the wrong
working of the compass, would have arrived
here before o'clock next morning.
On examination it was found that piece of
cork had by some means got into the compass,
and prevented it from working correctly-on the
contrary, pointed almost directly opposite the
course from which Captain Thayer supposed he
was running, and the first intimation of his mis-
take, was her striking upon what is called Black
| Leoge, near New London light boat, without,
however, doing herself any injury
| He run precisely the same course on all for
mer occasions, and never before failed OF reach
ing the point sought for.
