THURSDAY. AUGUST %, 1851.

The regular readers of this paper are well aware
that we seldom take up our time or theirs in no.
tcing ill-natured or injurious imputations on the
motives or opinions of its Editors. Calumny and
uncharitabeness towards political adversaries are
SO common with the lower order of public presses,
that mans character must be already bad which
can suffer damage from such sources. Scandals
fly no longer son eagles WINGS" but soon sink
into the gutter where they are born. II is rarely,
therefore, that deem it necessary TO turn aside
to repel the scurrility of disappointed avarice or
malice whether from party hacks, sordid patriots,
or incendiary hberators; and therefore we have abb
stained from noticing the coarse epithets with
which we have been complimented by some of the
bandit presses Of New Orleans and New York
touching what We have said OF their enterprises
against the rich Island Of Cuba. in which il is highly
probable that interested speculation was more con-
cerned than principle.
Our friends of the Press, however, sometimes
generously do for us what we abstain from doing
ourselves, which, if we do not always acknowledge
their kindness in doing, it is not that we do not
always feel it deeply. Two instances of this kind
ness they refer to recent and exciting questions
we must ask the pardon Of our readers for avaiing
ourselves Of. We select them because they are
from sources peculiarly independent, intelligent,
and free from undue party bias.

TRADE WITH THE BRITISH PROVINCES.

By Treasury Circular of 18th June, 1851, the
Collectors of the Customs were instructed, under
the provisions Of the act of Congress of Goth Sep
ember, 1850, to admit British vessels coming from
the ports of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova
Scotia on the same footing, both TO vessels and
cargoes, as American vessels, in consequence of
the latter having been admitted on like terms with
British in the ports of those Colonies. These pri-
vileges have since been extended to British vessels
coming from the ports Of Prince Edwards Island,
in consequence of the following Proclamation by
the Governor of that Colony, which has been off,
cially communicated to the Department of State by
the British Minister.
