From the custom house returns of the steam
vessels registered in the United Kingdom in
lS49 and 1850, we learn that its total amounts
TO IS ,493 tons, the number of vessels being
300, with an average capacity of 2S6 tons. of
these ll9 are constructed Of iron, fact that
tends SO strongly to prove the value Of that
article as material for ships, that we can only
wonder at its condemnation in the naval ser
vice. 1t seems to be the fortune of the naval
service, however, both in this country and in
England, to be the last to forget what it has
learned, and the last to learn wkensand what
it ought to forget. 1t is odd that this service
should be so conservative of old ideas, and en-
terrain such repugnance to new ones; but SO
it is.
Ofthe l6 iron vessels the total capacity is
39,Sl8 tons. averaging $40 tons each. The
whole number of screw steamers is %, all
with three exceptions) being of iron. The
largest vessel registered is the Asia, of the
Cunard line, the gross capacity Of which is
1927 tons; and the smallest, the Diso,cned,
of tons. The.folowing is the classified list
Of the number and gross tonnage of the vessels

IPREsIDTNr FILLMoRK's MESSAGE.
1.-THE Presidents message, at the opening OF the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
nlainlv his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istraton of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mca-
ssures of last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections. yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
"a system Of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
shered to, until time and experience should de-
.monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion abuse. That opinion, &c
. far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively The
peace of the country requires this; the security o.
sthe Constitution requires this; and every conside
sration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message, it does not expect to stand at all

England's FREQ Trade Professions and
Practice.

The London Nautical Standard, in an arti-
Gle devoted to the Worlds Exhibition, INDUCES
in strain of comment on the free trade pro-
LESSONS and policy of England that it may be
possible for some of our friends to profit by.
The Standard, after stating the total number
of exhibitors from foreign countries at 9,743,
of which France sends rather more than one
third of the whole, proceeds to say;
"These figures must give to Englishmen much
to think, and to reflect but few years ago Bel
GUM could hardly be considered as q manufac
turing country. and this year she sends to Hyde
Park the large amount of .o50 specimens of her
own productions. France, in 1915, had but few
and unimportant manufactures, and in 1851 she
presents the high number OF 1929 samples Of her
commerce. Prussia is represented by ,072 arti
cles of her own fabrics, and many States, who a
few years ago were represented as our customers,
have become manufacturers and concurrents with
US in many foreign M well as in our own markets.
We afraid that the progress made BY many OF
the nations we have named owing to the blind
policy England has followed for 90 many years
| by imposing many and heavy taxes on the pro-
| ductions OF other countries. zoe haze caused them
| 10 impose the psry dutiss on our oiDn, and in
self defence they haze been obliged TO become pro-
| dueers instead Of buyers of goods We quarrel
| with other countries for imposing duties
goods, and in the same breath we mulct their
productions to the utmost. We grumblc at the
| French for laying duty ON our sea-bornc coal,
and we lay tax Of three four times its market
value on their brandy. We ask Government TO
interfere with the ministers Of the United States
on account Of their protective tariff. and we put
and receive duty Of something like eight hun
dred or nine hundred per cent. on their tobac-
CO. In fact, ps insist on our goods being admitted
free of duty abroad, and tar Other countrie,
goods toh the iarsssf and most srorbtfanf dutiss.
We peak about reciprocity and free trade, but tee
do not follow out our boosf nor Our yrineiplss."

the people of the United States have over and
over again repudiated the DEMocRArIc doc
trines insregard to River and Harbor I'm
provements. What more appropriate occasion
for WHIG administration to join in public
festival than one that SO strikingly commemo-
rates the beneicent results OF policy with
which the WING cause is identified
And now one word in regard to the River
and Harbor bill of the last session, and the pre-
texts under which it was defeated. One OF
these pretexts was, that ii was bill SO enor-
mously extravagant; it was such squanderlng
Of the public funds! The aggregate appropria-
tons amounted 10 just 81 ,622 1916 for all the
rivers and harbors of thirty-one States, and this,
too, when there had not been dollar applied
TO such uses for the space of six years. From
these appropriationsjwere to be betrayed the ex-
penses of removing distractions from the Ohio,
Mississippi, Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri, Ar
kansas, and other western rivers, and for dredge
boats and the repairs of harbors on lakes Cham
plain, Erie, Michigan. the northwest lakes, and
the Atlantic coast. The money was to be ex
pended $35 900 in MAINE, and $95,7OO in
TEXAS; $4,000 in VERMONT, and $lO5,OOO in
LOUISIANA; $1,000 in RHODE ISLAND, and
$ll7 500 in NORTH c CAROLINA; and similar sums
in seventeen other States. Over such diversified
interests, and over such vast extent of country,
covering such multiplicity of important OBJ
jects, was this sum of money to be distributed;
and the DEMOCRATS found 81 ,622, 1916 an enor-
nous, extravagant, and squandering outlay
for the six years during which these matters
had been left to the voluntary principle"
Whereas, to this very enterprise of the
New York and Erie railroad, whose compile
ton has been so triumphantly celebrated, the
State of New York, in a single year, pledged
her credit to the amount of $4,000, 900. Tho
railroad is built in spite of DEMOCRATIC hos
tility; but the Instructions to navigation which
WING policy would remove still endanger the
lives and property that float upon our western
l waters.

Apportionment OF Representatives under
tho Seventh Census.

Our readers will find in another column an
interesting table of the population of the Uni
ted States, prepared at the Census Bureau, ex-
hibiting the superintendent of Congressional
Representatives under the law of the last Con
gress. We understand the correctness Of the
returns are not yet entirely vouched; but we
presume they are sufficiently so as to render
it probable there will be no change in the aP-
portionnAnt as given.

IRELAND.

The London Times is of the opinion that the
present return is sufficient to settle the question
Of the preference of iron over wood, since, if
the vessels of the Cunard Company and the
Royal West India Company, which are those
of the largest tonnage, and which may be con-
sidered to have been built of wood under com
puIsion, be deducted from the list, it will be
seen that the contrast in favor of iron is une-
quvocal. Out of a total tonnage of 1868
tons registered in 1850, 25,l6 fall under the
head Of iron vessels, and only II, 456 under
wood, although the latter are included the Asia
and the Africa, which are the two largest of the
Cunard steamers

The procession moved through Buffalo street and
Clinton street to Washington Square, where the
President and Cabinet were received by his honor,
the Mayor OF the city; after which ceremonies the
procession again formed. and moved through Clin-
ton street and Buffalo street to the Presidents quar-
ters at the Eagle Hotel.
The procession presented magnificent APP
pearance, particularly that part of it consisting
of the military and firemen, who wore very
handsome uniform.
The line of carriages, and all kinds of We
hices and horsemen, and pedestrians, extended
about two miles, The head of it was at
Washington square before the van left the
Centre square. The procession extended up
Buffalo street, and looked most magnificent,
with banners bearing notices all eloquent for
the Union
The windows and balconies were alive with
human beings, and the number of handsome
women was remarkable feature. The fine
breed of horses that walked in the procession
was very much admired.
In the procession the fair sex took a conspi-
cuous part. Several vehicles were filled with
them.
All this time the church bells were ringing a
merry peal, and an excellent band was sending
forth its merry music. The sun was shining
out in his glory The beautiful trees, with
which the streets of the city are filled, added
to the effect of the scene. Man, and nature,
and art, seemed to rejoice as if jubilee were
come.
Among the notices on the banners that over
hung the streets through which the procession
passed were the following:
