Br,t,.h op,n,on. OF America.

The article we quote in this days paper from
the e Pennsylvanian is just and, as specimen
of the aep British sentiment to which it alludes,
we quote the following, which we find credited
TO Liverpool paper:
"Ciyilization, as we have often said, has hith-
erto been geographical, The merchant followed
trade; and where the merchant opened his count
ing-house, religion and science and morals set up
their affairs.
"The United States of America now occupy
that place on the globe which presents CONNER
cial advantages unknown to all ancient and con-
temporary nations.
1.-THE territories of the transatlantic republic
expand into worlds: and she reposes between
two oceans--one washing Asia, the other Eu-
rope Her fields TEEN with plenty her mines
are inexhaustible while her rivers obviate canals,
and tempt trade and manufactures into activity
thousands of miles from the Atlantic and Pacific.
Nothing was wanted to the local enforcement of
civilization but aptitude in the inhabitants and
the history of the past week gives ample testi-
mony to its abundant existence.
"In practical science we admitted no rivalry for
more than century in trade, we despised COM
petition; and since the naughty Hollander swept
the Thames, we claimed indisputably the sover-
eighty of the seas. For some time, however, the
| Yankees have been quietly encroaching on our
maritime privilege-not pushing us from the
element whereon our pride flung out the cross Of
st. George, but gradually creeping into an Incl
dental equality.
"They did this not through accident or favor,
but by the rigid application Of great principles Of
commerce and science. They have compared
with ourselves, being equally enterprising. They
have been more skilful and while we pay willing
homage to genius, in whomsoever manifested, it
is a modification that in our own waters an
American yacht won the prize Of all nations, and
that an American steamer accomplished the
quickest passage ever made across the Atlantic.
"The Yankees are no longer to be ridiculed,
much less despised. The new world is bursting
into greatness walking past the old world, as
the America did the yachts at Cowes, hand
over hand She dipped the star-spangled ban
ner to the royalty of Great Britain, for superior
ty is ever courteous and this grateful act indi-
Gates the direction to which our inevitable COM
petition should proceed America, in her own
phrase, is going ahead and will assuredly
pass us unless we accelerate our speed"

DIVISION OF TExAs.-A correspondent Of the
New Orleans Delta" intmates that western
Texas is preparing to ask for admission into the
Union as separate State, and processes to be
very much alarmed lest it should not come in as
slave State, in which case he intimates that the
ultra Southern party will oppose the measure. He
bases this fear upon the great increase Of the
foreign population in that part of Texas, all Of
which is anti-slayery in sentiment. The object
in raising the alarm appears to be to induce
shareholders to emigrate thither with their
slaves in sufficient numbers to control the dis

FlOgging I'm the Navy.

The press speaks in terms of unqualified praise
of Commodore Stockton's speech on this subject
The following comments of the Pennsylvania
have more value because that paper is devoted to
the support of Mr.. Buchanan:
"Senator Stockton, of New Jersey, lately de-
livered speech in the United States Senate, re-
lative to the whipping code in the navy. II
was one of those brilliant and powerful appeals
which never fail to arrest attention, and Senator
Stockton has, in this effort, won universal praise
and commentator. He has taken the true
ground The idea Of applying the lash to
American seamen is barbarous, and deserving OF
general condemnation. Since the adjustment OF
the fogging system, we have had the highest tes-
timony in proof of the discipline of the sailor,
while his devotion and uniform good conduct have
elected the esteem of every honest officer in the
service. American citizens need no lash to teach
them their duty. A higher incentive influences all
their actions; and if it is necessary to degrade
men who volunteer to serve our country, 1t were
better to abolish the navy
The speech of Commodore Stockton COM
pletely vindicates the sailor: and his opinion is
deserving of the greatest respect. His knowledge
of nautical affairs, and his great services abroad,
have rendered him worthily distinguished. We
rejoice, therefore, to record his protest against
the practice OF whipping American sailors and
we arc sure that the people by whom we are sur
rounded would deplore and denounce the re-
establishment of the infamous system"

We are in receipt Of files of the Diario " and

The Captain-GeSeral had officially promulgated
new ordinance, requiring all persons, under
certain penalties to register their names, occupa-
ton and domicil, change of business or domicil,
and prohibiting them from transacting any bust
ness until they had obtained an official certificate.
The ordinance contains other stringent provi.
sions, showing the degree of despotism and espi-
onage exercised by the present government OF
Cuba over its inhabitants.
A new literary magazine had been commenced
in Havana, under the title of " Las Flores dc las
Antilas," 1.-THE flowers of the Antilles)
The papers contain long notices of the various
religious exercises performed in the churches
during the Christmas holidays.
The Captain General had returned to Havana
from brief visit to several points of the island.
A panorama of the "invason of the Vuelta
Abajo" was being painted, and, when finished
is to be exhibited in the theatres of Havana. The
" Diario has finally concluded its doleful bal
lad on the same subject, which consisted of sew
eral hundred doggerel verses, giving grandilo-
quent account of the prodigies of valor performed
by the Spanish soldiers.
