She brings about fifty passengers and large

quantity of French merchandise from Havre, re-
ceived at Southampton, for transhPment by three
special steamers. Notwithstanding the most
strenuous exertions of the Cunard Company to
mouopolise the whole of the French traffic, by
lowering the rate of freight on Havre goods from
$40 to $40, while from Liverpool to New-York
the price was kept up to $685. the Washington

of the unfair competition entered into and COM
menced by the British steamers the agents of
which loudly affirm that they intend to beat off
the Americans entirely, and are prepared to con
tnue the competition with the greatest energy
against the Bremen and Neg.York, and Havre
and New York lines. The latter are determined
to persevere, and by adherng to a moderately
remunerative scale of freights, will eventually
force the Cunard Company into some equitable
arrangement which will yield fair profit to all
engaged in the trade. The Washington has taken
no goods at less than $50 per tun, while the Ma

the expense from Hayre to Liverpool by steam is
fully $40 per tun.
