The London Times mentions thing hoping 1t
is not true for the honor Of English hospitality,
that the members Of the United Service CLUB
have refused TO extend to the S. Navy Officers
of the St Lawrence, the usual civility given 10
foreign officers OF having the run Of the Cloo dur
ing their stay. The reason assigned TOR this IS,
that the officers of the ST. Lawrence have been
engaged in mercantile service The taking art
in ANYTHING industrial-contributing % Production
and Wealth opposed to War, Murder and Hob
berry, is deemed by these jOuneymen butchers as
dishonOrAble, and slight is accordingly pat upon
the officers so degrading themselves. For the
same reason = when Mr.. McGregor, the illustriOus
statieian rose in Parliament the other day, TO
speak on Fox Maule's military estimates which
allow Of no reduction in soldiers or boxes, he was
greeted with general laughter by the 80 military
gentleme en- and others who I'LL the privileged pa,
ces and the Britannia newspaper sugmatlseo
him as "a Glasgow bagman."

and that Field Marshal Prince Albert belonged

it will be shuiled away but the Infamous thing
yet remains on record. An American Consul In

am seated at the right hand OF this or that dignl
tory, and am toasted as the American Consul and
90 forth bat because AN engaged IN trade am
not included in the society which is looked up 70
as good" Now let those persons in New York
who pride themselves on being IN trade, upon
fetching and carry ing English goods, and opposing
Tariff for Protection on the principle OF PTotec-
ton, remember that they are looked upon In Eng
land as sort OF upper acqueys. Extraordinary
riches may sometimes change this relation be-
cause brute wealth in the present disorganised
state of society is power but the fact remains
that all the Americans who are so blind to their
true dignity as 10 take part IN this Worlds Ex-
hibtion are held in dlshonOr because they are
Traders and Mechanics. There is yard stick
aristocracy in New-York, that 10 contounded IN
England with men that sew and hammer, and the
sooner we find out the fact the better. the
miserable pride Of the Norman bsrOns and their
satellites deserves a rebuke. Il could be readily
administered by our cutting off the cotton trade
suddenly, which would throw four million Eng
lsh out of employ and by the North taxing them
selves 10 millions for the crop, which would be
made up In the increased immigration. II we had
ever been properly represented In England this
insult would never have taken place butt serves

received such an insult We have invited II by
condescendiDg to send over our mechanics, cit
zens and sovereigns, to work along with English
footmen. There can be no generous cooperation
by England with America, because the people OF
England are not represented, and rate as peddlers
in the ewes OF the Norman Barons and their par
venu toadies, law lords and the sons OF manufac'
t1rers who have loaned the Government money
in war times and got baronetcies therefor.
Great efforts are being made TO introduce lax

Americans are not idle since the discovery OF
the new business. Valuable information has
privately been sent from Europe.
