British Exactlons In America.

The experience of a number of years has con-
vnced me that your able journal is at all times
ready to expose abuses of every character whether
they be perpetrated by governments, States or in
dlvduals. With this opinion | take the liberty Of
pointing out what l. and every one else acquainted
with the circumstances, consider an abuse, an i'm
position, an extorion.
You are aware, no doubt that British onsuls
unlike, in this respect, the consular representatives
OF the United States, are paid regular annual sa~
larry and that they are not, Ike American Consuls,
dependent on the fees of their office tor ;rcnunera
non Tor their services. Thus the British Cousus
at this port receives a salary of eight hundred
pounds sterling per annum, which sum one would
suppose abundanty liberal for the services
performed. This, however, II appears Is not sufb-
cient, at least in the opinion of that functonary
for he evies on every British vessel that arrives in
this port, a sum varying according to the size and
tonnage of from fifteen to twenty-five dollars and
yet the very certificates which he issues for those
services are marked No Fees"
Now my object In addressing you at this time is
to protest against this levying of black mail on
IRISH ships, at least That country has tor centuries
been basely trampled upon by the British Its trade
and commerce have almost been annlhilated. Il
Is within my own recollection, Mr.. Editor, thai
previous to the carrying OF that infamous and dia
bolical act called the act OF Union, ireand's COM
mercial relations with the United States very
extensive. Time and time have | seen Irish yes
sells fieighted with her linen, bobbinets and other
manufactures, reach our shores, and in return carry
hack the productions of America. Now how dif-
terent is the easel Until within a very short time,
il was a thing to an Irish vessel in our wa
ers. Should not this trade be encouraged: bu.
more than that, should we, in America, permit the -
ranny of the tyrannica British government to reach
Irishmen in America 7 A vessel arriving from Ire
land according to the present usage, must deposit i,i
register with the British Consul before il can enter
ut the Custom House. For undergoing this iorma-
lily sum Of fifteen or twenty-five dollars must be
paid; and yet ''no ices'' is endorsed ON the very
certificate which ecrties that this iormahty has
been complied with
r,1 -. - -
system of black mailing should STOP don't see
any reason why the iunctionares of that inta nous
and tyrannical government should be permitted to
make such charges in This country on Irish vessels
arriving at our ports.
BY giving publicity to this you will confer an OBJ
legation on your obedient servant, "No FEEs.'

UNNIcEssARY Defence or Mr.. AGe.-Some
Of the newspapers, we perceive, are making a
great noise in defence Of Mr.. Flagg, late Comp
troller, against the imputaton that he furnished
the Netp York Herald with copy Of his report,
previous to his presenting II to the Legislature.
This defence may be very liberal and very
generous, but it is entirely unnecessary. We
can acquit Mr.. Flaeg of any intention to furnish
the report TO the Herald, and we also acqult the
printers ofthe report, al Albany. AS to any dsre-
.pect towards the Legislature, in the publication
of that report, we don't think there is much neces
sitv 10 make much apology for that. The Legis-
lature of New York, if they don't behave them
selves better than former ones have done,
are not entitled 10 much respect, and we shall
always treat that body Just as they deserve. In
publishing that report, we exercised our own
activity and intelligence, without invading the
rights Of any one or any body OF men.
It is no PERSONS business how wegot that re-
port, and il the devil himself was the parsonage
who furnished it to us. il is the DEVILS business

time that we have beaten the whole press Of
New York, neither will II be the last. The lie.

MORE Courts MARTiAL.-We understand that
several Courts Martial will soon be ordered by
the war department at Washington, upon some
Of the officers of the army in Mexico. We
should not be surprised to see Generals Worth
and Pillow, and Colonel Duncan, all ordered
home, including Cen Scott, to take part in these
singular Investigations. These Courts Martial
will be the most interesting Investigations that
ever took place in this country, because the evil
dence that will be given at them, will show us
the internal history and secret movements Of the
American army, during that brilliant campaig
what led to their success, and their glory and
brilliant deeds. We do not deprecate those
Courts Martial. As far as their results to indi-
vduas are concerned, they are Of little conse-
quence, but the Investigations will bring to light
matter most interesting 10 the public, We be-
lievs ia then, thsrsfere.

On the first Of January, ls4s, Of the Christian
era, the new age Of miracles began-an age that
will be more astonishing and wonderful than all
the preceding ages of the world. We have had
geological periods, Evolutionary eras, historical
ages, and now We have just commenced, on the
LIST of January, lS4s, the electric, or miraculous
age, of the history ofths world, and the races on
it, that will far outstrip that of Moses and the
Prophets. Printing was the first invention,
steam was the next discovery, and the third was
that of the electric telegraph. They are now
combined in one movement, and have presented,
during the last week, one of the first symptoms Of
the new miraculous age, in the columns of the
Neto York Herald.
