Injury to Southern Commerce

In 1899, the Congress Of the United States
passed an act, impo ing tonnage duty Of one
dollar and half per ton, upon all Spanish ves-
sells entering our ports from The Spanish colonies
This act was passed because Of the high tonnage
duty imposed by old Spain upon the vessels Of
all other nations entering he ports of her colo
MES. Spain imposed for the protection of the
commerce of the mother country, and not rs
matter of hostility towards us--for the vessels
of the United Statsswere admitted into the ports
of the coloniesuT.es favorable terms, ~ were
extended to any other nation Bat our govern.
ment, tskisg different view, or thinking to
compel Spa\' to reduce her tonnage duty, passed
the reialiatcry act, which, thus far, has accom-
plishcd no good end The operation of this
act according to its letter, was found to impede
seriously the commerce of the Gulf and South
ern Atlantic, inasmuch as vessels from old Spain
frequently bring cargoes to Cuba, leaving thence
for the United States in ballast-their object
being to take from this country cargo Of cotton,
or other produce Of the United States AT first,

The ARMIES OF EURoPE.-A late London letter
says; eve have very good authority for stating
that In 1851 there were no fewer than 2,773,633
men under arms in Europe as regular soldiers,
and If to this number be added the various corps
of volunteers, national guards, &c., the aggregate
would swell up to 3,O0O,O00-the population Of
Europe was then estimated at 277, 4O3, 900. Ac-
cordng to the usual ratio of calculation, one per.
son out of every twenty Of the adult and able
male population of Europe was at that time
soldier. Besides this immense army, there was
an aggregate fleet of2,763 vessels, carrying A, los
guns, and manned by at least $50 900 seamen
We cannot compare these figures with any pre-
vious statements, but we feel warranted in as
sorting that never, since the commencement Of
the peace movement, did the face of Europe pre-
sent so bellIgerent an appearance.

Soft as rays Of sunlight, stealing
On the dying day
Sweet as chimes Of low bells pealine.
When eve fades away
Sad as winds at night that moan,
Through the heath FER mountain lone.
Come the thoughts of days now gone
On manhood's memory.
As the sunbeams from the heaven
Hide at eve their light,
As the bells when fades the even
Peal not on the night
AS the night winds cease to sigh
When the rain falls from the sky,
Pass the thoughts Of days gone by
From ages memory.
Yet the sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break,
And the bells give sweet-voiced warning
To the world to wake.
Soon the winds shall freshly breathe
Der the mountains purple heath
But the path is lost in death
