Ma. CLAY.-Yesterday, says the New York Tri.
bune Of the 3d. Mr.. Clay appeared on Change at
about O'Clock in the afternoon, where, as every
where, his presence created the liveest interest.
MIR. James H. Braine proposed three cheers for the
great statesman, and they were given (when were
cheers refused for Harry Of the West,) with a
hearty good.will; three more were called for, and
as promptly given. After a few minutes CONVEX.
sation, Mr.. Clay departed to dine with Stephen
Whitney, esq. Day before yesterday lac dincd with
Henry Grinnell. Among other visits yesterday,
MIR. Clay called upon his old friend, d. Austin
Muir, at his residence in Abingdon square. Among
those who were there to meet him were Hon. Geo.
Briggs, Hon. Henry J. Seaman, p. w. Engc, Aid.
Herring, AID Cline, Nicholas Carroll, Harvey
Hart, Merwin r. Brewer, J. d. Hoyer, Daniel Ul.
man, Jos NJ. Price, A. l.. Jordan, and host Of his
old staunch friends This visit was Just compli-
ment 70 the Ninth ward, which had, in 1874, cast
it's first Wing majority for Henry Clay.
The Journal " Commerce says Of his visit TO the
Change, that "his tall figure very conspicu.
GUS amongst the crowd which pressed around to
shake him by the hand II is needless to state that
he was very cordially received"

berately propose exchange the freest polity that
any colony ever enjoyed for the ambiguous honor
of forming a small part of an unwieldy confedera-
ton, then let them understand that the conduct of
the people of England will be directed by motives
of prudence and interest alone If they think
that they can do without Canada, then, and
then only, will they give up Canada. But in
render ot of sea land the possession of which
really and effectively concerns the maritime and
commercial importance of Great Britain. They
will not cede Nova Scotia; they will not cedc Cape
Breton; they will not cede that seaboard and those
harbors which must ever command the mouths of
the St. Lawrence and protect the trade of the At

the name of dependent province, to be brought
more nearly within view of the force which might
have perpetuated Eer dependence; in losing her
hold Of Canada, England will take TO lose only

Canada and the disposition of her people make all
such anticipations as these wholly supernuous

The Mint.

We copied, few days since, the follow
ing paragraph from one of our exchange
papers:
Chow is THls' Late English papers state that
American gold has been refused at the Bank OF
England, on the ground of the yariableness of the
alloy, and has to be assayed, cast into bars and
stamped before it is taken security"
A charge which so greatly affects the
character of our national currency, and
seriously Injuries the reputation and the
feelings of the officers of Government con-
cerned in the manufacture of the coin,
ought to be traced to responsible source.
What ''late English papers" contain the
statement 1t is confidently affirmed that
the assays Of the United States Mint, for
a series Of years past, and certainly since
the change of standard in 1884, will com
pare advantageously, for critical accuracy
and fidelity to the legal standards, with
those of any mint in the world.

UNEXPECTED ARRIvAL.-We arc happy 10 an.

captured the entire merchant fleet, which they
completely guted stripping the vessels of their an
chors, cables, rigging, &c, and afterwards held
the hulls to ransom at from $4,000 TO $4,000
each, according to their value. II was reported
that before leaving Hyc-cow the pirates divided into
two fleets, steering north and the other south

The application of Colonel Sloo for an
injunction and the appointment of re-
ceiver in the case of Sloo VS.. Law and
Others, in the suit pending in the United
States circuit court sitting in the southern
district of New York, has been denied.
The ground of the application was, that Mr..
Law and his associates, the assignees of
Sloo's contract for the mail steamers of the
New York, New Orleans and Chagres line,
had failed to fulfil their contract, and to ac-
count for the earnings of the Falcon, and
had registered the Ohio in their own names
instead of those of the trustees. The
court decided that the trust does not begin
till the ships shall be completed and ac-
cepted by the Secretary of the Navy ; that
the Ohio is properly registered till then in
the names of the owners that the loan of
the Government on the mortgage of the
Ohio and the Georgia was the private
business of the builders !; that the delay in
construction arises from variation of the
terms of the contract, by building larger
vessels than were therein provided for,
and that this variation was for the com
mon benefit of all the parties to the con.
tract, and had been acquiesced in by all !;
and that Messrs. Law and Roberts, and
their associates, appear to be abundantly
able to carry out the contract. The court
ruled on all the points in favor of the
defendants.

late William Lincoln, OF Worcester, who, after an

acre Of potatoes, and he whose work was done best

fSUNDATIoN ON THE NrLE.-Letters from Aexan-

its highest water mark, viz: twenty-five (Flcmish)
ellis and eleven inches. All danger Of general in
undaton seems to be over. The works on the Nile
dam, on which ten thousand men were engaged a
short time back, have been suspended on account OF
the high rise of the water. Many doubt whether
this gigantic undertaking, on which millions have
already been expended, will ever be completed; il
