Our STEAM MARME.--An interesting report
on Ocean Steamers has recently been submitted
to Congress by Senator Rusk, Of Texas. 1t
gives history of the establishment Of Ocean
Mail Steamers in this country, and the advanta-
ges which have resulted tberefrom. Millions of
money have been saved to American citizens,
we are told, since the establishment of the
American Ocean Steam Mail service, which mon
ey, their absence, would have gone to fill Eng
lish Golfers. The report refers to one fact in IL
lustration Of the truth of this assertion -
Before the Collins line was established the
Cunard line was receiving FL los sterling per
ton for freight; at present the rate is about ga
sterling. BY whom were these E7 los sterling
paid! BY the American consumer in most in
stances, upon articles of British manufacture
brought to this country by British line. At
present the American consumer pays but Ca
sterling per ton; and presuming that the Amer
lean merchant makes his importaiions in the
American line, this freight is paid to our own
people, and goes to swell the sum of our nation
al wealth."

DIED.

In Holland, on Friday, July 9, 1852 MARGARET
WIsNER, eldest daughter of Walter T. TAYLOR. A.
NJ, aged IS years.
Mr. Taylor removed his residence from Geneva
N. y to Holland, in October 1851 for the purpose
of establishing classical academy, which should
be preparatory school for Rutgers College, N. j.
This school was established and is maintained by
the Board of Domestic Missions, of the Reformed
Dutch Church. Miss Taylor was the principal as
sistant in this school, which receives heavy blow
by her untimcy death.
She was of an active, sanguine temperament
and possessed uncommon strength and clearness
of intellect. From childhood the acquisition of
knowledge, had been rather chosen pleasure than
painful effort. She was a thorough mathemati
clan and an accomplished lnguist But with all
her requirements, no person was ever more free
from the slightest shade of pedantry Her unas
suming amiability, won the hearts of all who, be.
came acquainted with her. During her last illness,
she seemed entirely forgetful of herself and only
expressed regret at leaving her father to struggle
alone in his field of labor. She was q devoted
christian, and through her illness rested with ens
tire faith and resignation upon her Saviour
This is the first time death has occurred among
the American residents of Holland and his first
victim is the one whom all would have selected as
least likely to receive the dread summons May
we all profit by the warning, and may the king of
terrors find us all as well prepared to make the
journey "to that bourne from whence no traveller
returns" as she was. tCoM.

NATIVE AMERICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The detection Of the Webster wings is at last
taking definite shape and coming to head
the Native National Convention held at Tren-
ton, (New Jersey0 on the 9Th inst, after long
and mature deiberation, in which Rev. C. w.
Dennison, Editor of the Webster organ in Bos-
ton, warmly participated, finally nominated
Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, for Presi-
dent, and Geo. c. Washington, of Virginia, for
Vice President of the United States, and the
nominations were afterwards unanimously con-
Cured in by the Convention. Mr.. Denison,
who was lately a clerk in the State Department,
we believe, at Washington is an ardent whig
and came into office on the incoming of the pre-
sent wing regime at the Capitol. His influence
in the Native Convention is evident in their
choice ola Pres. candidate. With the Web
ster wings of the North, and the wings of the
South, seeding from Scott and Graham, their
chances for success would seem to be entirely
out OF the question. Free Press.

The arrival of the Arctic, one of Collins mag
nihcent ocean steamers, has given us few items
of interest from Europe.
In Home matters, we notice the distressing
Montreal conflagration, which from the meagre
account yet received, appears to have destroyed
over 900 houses, and left some 5000 persons
homeless and destitute. An area one mile
square is burnt over. Meetings for the relief
of the sufferers are being called in various parts
of the country. The loss is estimated at near
S3000,000.

A YANKEE OVER THE CRATER.-A correspon-
dent of the Boston Irareler, writing from Ma
pies thus describes an amazing interview with
a live Yankee -
"The other day, on reaching the top of Vesu-
vius, descerned a man getting astride of a
block oflava. | don't know why, but marked
him at once for one of my countrymen. AS

the cool manner in which he and Venus were
taking smoke together His long nine was
run out like n bowsprit, and he took the whole
affair as calmly as one would look at kitchen
fire at home. AS soon as came up with him
he bawled out, Halo, stranger! Any news

the crater, he replied, "Yaas but burned my

posted in the several mintsin this country from
the first discovery of the mines up to the first

imports for June, and the amounts that have
been brought in the hands of passengers, and it
is safe to estimate the amount from the produc-
tons of the California mines to date at $780,

The Tribune says many prominent democrats
in Michigan have gone over to Scott Ofcourse
Chambers nomination being wholly unexpec-
ted, will render the thing sure. The Tribune
sets down Indiana, New York, Pennsylvania,
North Carolina, Connecticut and Kentucky, all
for Scott. Tennessee is little doubtful, CAL

will be wing. Georgia. Illinois, and Missouri,
the Tribune does not regard as absolutely GER

The SUPREME CoURT.-Ths Court has lust
closed its July term at this place. This being
lis first session here and It's old business having
been transferred to other circuits, there was Of
course but little business before it and the few
decisions that were made, an abstract of which
appears in another column, were all of general
interest.
One thing we observed at this session, which
is worthy of high commentator; and that is,
the determination evinced by the judges to in
vesigate and determine the causes brought be-
fore them at the same term at which they were
submitted, instead of pocketng the briefs for
more convenient season. and leaving the parties
to follow the Court about from place to place,
and from term to term, awaiting a decision, and
hna!ly receiving one when the case and the ar
guments accompany its submission are proba-
bly, half forgotten. More than half the laws
injustice, proceeds from its delay and those
judges are much the most like to do substantial
justice between parties, who follow the example
OF our present Supreme Court, and decide
promptly while the facts are fresh before them.

Fuss AND FEATHERs.-The origin of this

and The Taylor men who had Rough and

order to place the two men in their proper light
called Gen. Scott E" Fuss and Feathers"
The following is the history of the affair as
copied from late number Of the Mirror
"FUss AND FEATHERs'"-Who originated
this non de guerre of Gen. Scott? One of the
Sunday papers attributes it to the original ge-
MUS OF the Mirror. According to our recollec-
ton, the epithet first graced the columns of the
Mirror, but must have been originated by the
very genius himself that asks and answers the
question. And thereby hangs tale.

The editor of the Herald is entirely correct,
adds the Mirror0 in his surmse. Mendez
Pinto Briggs, who edits the Sunday paper in
question, although ashamed or afraid to ac-
knowledge the fact, is the author of the epithet
alluded to. This "original genius" has felic-
itous talent at epithets. Vide the "Trappings

term Ogre" to the editor of the New York
