English passenger, or any other passenoer wht
comes with willing hands and an honest heart tc
our shores: long may he have his health anC
strength, and may he never again find himself Oh
an English hulk, with Duckitt for a captain.
The people of England are excelled bv none in
their generosity, humanity and justice. No good
honest hearted Englishmen, but will glory in see.
ing the wretches who fatten the mserics and
the blood of their fellow creatures, brought to con
dign punishment. We know plenty such and We
are proud to know them, and we will do our utmost
to have their wishes carried out, and exemplary
punishment inflicted upon the wrong doers.
HE MEASUREMENT OF THE BLANCHE.-The cap
tam OF this hulk intimates that he and his avari
clous owners are not justly amendable to our laws
which they have disgracefully outraged, because
OF errors OF measurement made by the corrupt of
hclals OF their own country. This is capital Joke
truly, British functionaries collude with British
Shlp-oWners, give false measurement of their yes
sels, to enable the latter to encrease their
gains out of the blood and marrowless bones of the
unfortunate creatures who may be seduced into
taking passage with them, and then, when they are
called to account for their atrocious waste of life
they coolly turn round and say it is hard they
should be punished for their diabolical turptude
These fellows employed two gentlemen of Algers
to measure the Blanche, who report that they found
her less by one thousand superficial feet than the
English papers which she carries give her, thus
furnishing the strongest possible grounds for be-
lleving that a regular system of fraud exists in
Liverpool, and that the government officers and
shp-owners are the guilty parties. Of course no
honorable house, merchant of standing or in
tegrity is found mixed up with sanctionng such
foul proceedings; but whether so or not, has
nothing to do with the plain simple duty of the
officers of this government, who have sworn to
maintain the laws, and that they are faithfully
administered.
We quite satisfied the necessary proof to
procure the forfeiture of the pest ship Blanche is
abundant; and further, that the testimony to con-
Wet her captain of misdemeanor punishable with
twelve months imprisonment, is now with the
proper officer.
Captain Duckitt may brbe poor creatures into
signing certificates, but he will find or we are much
mistaken, that he has got into bad box from
which all the q brass button " men on this CONT
nent cannot extricate him, if our authorities do
their duty.
Children under the age of one year do not count
as passengers, oH others do, which may be news
to Capt. Duckitt and his brass button friends.
Another flag over the Blanche may not improve
her sailing qualities, but will vouch for its i'm
proveing her salubrity, as well as giving her re-
putation very different from her present infamous

vegetable manures, of which the best and easiest
applied, after partially restoring the fertility Y
means of foreign manures, is the Tea-tLe
true southern clover. In Virginia many Of tie
most miserable worn out old plantations have been
made TO produce twelve fifteen bushels of wheat,
and beautiful growth of clover by an application
of two hundred pounds of Peruvian gu&no, sown
broad cast and ploughed in upon an acre. Like
effects can be produced upon like soil elsewhere.
But while men can find new land 10 cut down
and plant til exhausted, or a country in the
west to off TO, we must not expect to sse the
system of destruction cease. 1t is easier to des-
troy than to save; men can perhaps make more
money by such course, and they will pursue it an.
I'll the whole country is overiun and the soil half
destroyed before they will be convinced Of the er-
ror of such system
High prices of cotton will always have tenden-

A VALUABLE REMEDY-A writer in Pitts

valuable and of positive efficacy, in of burns,

elder, scrape off the green bark that is under and
stew it in lard till Iti crisp, then strain it in jar
and put it away. Another writer speaking of the

''The lady with whom l soourned, informed
me of boy whose foot had been cut, and was al
most in putrid state when she examined it, none
of the usual appliances being found of any ser

TINS at Havana TO their friends in that city.
They all breathe the same spirit--resigna-
tion to their melancholy fate. The Plea
lynne saysit has also seen two other letters,
in which the writers complain OF having
been deceived 10 their expectation Of Cree
ole assistance on landing. and one complains
ofbeing deserted by opez,and speaks with
harshncss of bis Abandonment Of them.
The following appeal TO the citizens of
New Orleans, appears IN the PIcayunc OF
23rd instant:
To the Citi-eas ~ lAets Orleans.
Not having engaged in the cause OF Gu
ba personally, have forbornc TO enquire
into the plan Of operation further than has
been common 10 all our citizens who took
interest IN the cadse. G
To-day, however, | have made the pro-
per inquiry, to enabIe,n TO form an opin-
ion as 10 what is To be done, and the conclu-
sion to which have come is, that if the
citizens Of New Orleans do not subscribe
literally there is no prospect Of any aid
being furnished to the brave and gallant
young men whose lives are now perilled
the mountains Of Cuba.
There is no time for delay. We have
had one tale Of blood and murder, and we
may soon have another.
Ny object is, if possible, 10 save the rem
nant Of the gallant band who defeated the
forces Of Gen Emma, on the 18th inst, and
marched into the interior on the 18th
This we know from the Official publica-
lions in Havana, and further all is doubt
and uncertainty.
This, however, is certain. that the same
men who defeated Gen. Emma, and COM
PEELED him to send back to Havana for re-
Inducements, when they were only defend
cd by the works hastily thrown up around
an old building, will be able to hold him
at bay for some time when they reached
mountains so well adapted TO defence as
those OF Cuba are This is more certain if
the people of the country unite with them,
which Is confidently stated to be the case
by correspondents from Havana, who, am
fully satisfied, have not made statements
which they do not believe.
But, fellow citizens, after examining the
question in military point of view, | am
satisfied that our friends and brethren will
be finally overwhelmed by superior Span
ISL force if they do not receive assistance.
However anxious we may be to relieve
those who are in danger, we must not haz-
ard any more small detachmcnts; we have
had enough Of that. Whatever is done
must be done promptly and efficiently.
Whether any thing At all can be done
depends upon you, men Of New Orleans.
There is no time to seek aid from dis
lance.
There is no lack of men who burn to
succor thesur,iving comrades ofthe slaugh-
tered Crittenden, Kerr, and their brave
companions. 1t is The means, the means
that il Wanted.
Therefore plainly appeal to you 10 come
forth generously and promptly. IL will re-
quirc considerable sum to do any thing
that you or would sanction; for say at
once that | viii never consent that our mo-
Die young men shall again be hazarded
with insufficient numbers and insufficient
Means E'ELIN HUSTON.
