CHANCE FOR AMERICAN SHIPBUnDERs-
perceive by the intelligence from Europe
brought by the Canada, that Louis Napoleon
had made contract with Napier, the celebrated
Scotch shipbuilder, to construct him q feet of
eighteen frigates, to add to the naval power OF
France, but which contract was cancelled by
the British government If Louis Napoleon
wants any ships built, let him send the order
to that effect along this way. We have plenty
of ship yards, and shipbuilders of the first class
in this city. who would be happy to accommodate
his Majesty. We will guarantee they would
produce in six months as many ships of war as
he wants, cheaper, stronger, better finished, and
faster sailers than he can procure in any other
part of the world. Or, if he prefers it, we will
build them of unlimited length, and he can
chop them off to suit himself New York ship
builders send your specifications along.

CUBA-The trouble between the British
cruizers and the Spanish Queen-mother's slave
ships, and officials of Cuba, seems to be increas-
ing In connection with certain late proceed
ings of the British Captain Hamilton, to arrest
the slave traffic. letter to one Of our evening
contemporaries says
"By the way, an event has recently happened here
which will probably lead to serious consequences. 1t
seems that two Of the savers recently captured by
Capt. Hamilton, have been condemned. The third,
brig while in possession of the prizecrew was
suddenly and forcbly taken from them by party of
Spanish soldiers one morning recently, before day
break, and before resistance could be made The
English captain (Hamilton) prepared for immediate
re-capture, and manned his boats for that purpose
but the English Consul interfered, and advised
waiting instructions from home. Thus the matter
remains, while, it is sad the soldiers are busy in
efacing the evidence which would condemn her as
SLAYER It is believed the Queenmother is the owner
of the brig, and hence this bold measure of the
Captain General. Meanwhile, much illfeeling is
manifested by the officials towards the English resi-
DENTS"
These transactions are but the beginning of
the ending. We shall have no war with Eng
land to prevent the acquisition of Cuba. The
slave trade is very decided hit on our side Of
the question.

SELLING OFF AT osr.-Notwithstanding the
Tribune establishment deluged the country
during the late campaign with its pictorial
pamphlets Of Gen. SCOTS military exploits,
they advertise that they have still few more
left of the same Sort" which they generously
offer to sell at cost We suspect they would
also dispose Of the materials and fixtures of the
late campaign paper called ''1Ae Hishman,"
on the same terms. They are done with blood
and carnage, and have no further use for !" the
brogue" just now. We presume, too, that
the Hungarian bonds, or the certificates of the
Irish Directory, will be taken in payment for
the articles aforesaid, and that the net pro-
ceeds will be devoted to the great cause of the
Maine Liquor law; or, peradventure, to the re-
lief of the twenty-six lunatcs in the Ohio asy-
lum, and the sixty in the Utica asylum-the
victims ofspirtual manifestations. Our philo-
sophers must take care of their disciples.

BRITISH COLONIAL ORGANIZATION OF Hon
DURAs-MORE EvIDENCE.-The letter which we
recently published from our correspondent at
San Juan de Nicaragua, conveying the rather
surprising information of the establishment Of a
British colony in that portion of Central Anne
RIGA adjoining the peninsula of Yucatan, and
commonly known as British Honduras, is in
fair way Of being entirely confirmed.
The brig Loretto, Captain Guides from the
Belize, the 7th Of January, arrived at this port
several days ago. and, according to the in
formation kindly furnished us by Captain G.,
the late logwood cutting district Of British
Honduras has been promoted to the bona
.fde dignities Of British colony. Somewhere
about Christmas, British constitution was
brought over by the Jamaica packet, and
was to be submitted for the ratification Of
the people on the 18th of January; SO that
by the next arrival from San Juan we may
expect the official evidence of the full establish
ment of the colony of Honduras. Our inform
ant says that, under property qualification of
two hundred and fifty dollars, there are perhaps
some five thousand voters in British Honduras;
oHu Iucsc pcopAc, iSSoAuiuS 0nChoCAVCc % uiiuCI
the exclusive protection of England, will doubt
less most readily avail themselves Of the more
positive guarantees Of regular colony.
Mr.. Mason, Chairman on Foreign Relations Of
the United States Senate, has said that if this
thing has been DONE there will be a substantial
provocation before US for the enforcement Of
the Monroe doctrine. We apprehend that Mr..
Mason, and all concerned, will very soon have
all their doubts removed npon the subject, by
the official documentary proofs. Of course, the
Senate, short of the official vouchers, would not
presume to act in the premises; but we admo-
nish them in time, that having taken their posi-
ton upon this question at $40, the country
is not prepared for letting down to the lati-
tude Of 40. If the Monroe doctrine means any
thing, it means the non-intervention Of foreign
powers in the domestic affairs of the indepen-
dent States of this continent and if the first
article Of the Clayton and Bulwer treaty has
any meaning at all, it distinctly forbids the
colonization, or occupation, or usurpation, of
"any part of Central America" by Great Bri-
tain. As we understand it, the Senate of the
United States has taken this position, and &C.
cupies this identical ground to-day. Shall the
country suffer the humiliation Of a backing out
tomorrow? We trust not.

IMPORTANT DECISION AGAINST THE COMMON
CoUNcnCTHE ALDERMEN DECLARED TO BE IN
CoNTENPT.-The motion for attachment against
Alderman Sturtevant. and his associates of the
Common Council of New York, for violating an
injunction issued by the Superior Court, to re-
strain the Boards from leasing Broadway for
railroad track. was decided by Judge Duer yes
terday, who declared the Alderman to be in
contempt. and ordered him to be held to bail in
the sum Of $500. The decision of Judge Duer
was assented to by Judges Campbell. Bosworth
and Emmett. Alderman Sturtevant will put in
answers to interrogatories, which may or may
not tend to purge him from the contempt with
which he is charged and the motions against
his associates. for the same offence, remain in
allegiance until his case is finally disposed of.
The Judge, in the course of his elaborate
opinion commented with some severity on the
course adopted by the Common Council of New
York in violating the order Of the Court, and
concluded by vindicating Judge Campbell from
the attack made upon that functionary by the
resolution of the Board of Aldermen. Judge
Duer remarked that it was quite certain that
the spirit of that resolution, and especially
the indecency and injustice of the attack upon
Mr.. Justice Campbell, would justify q very
severe punishment; but for the present he
would content himself with citing the language
of Judge Mason, who said =
We live under government of laws. 1t is one of
the peculiar fectes Of our condition that the moral
sense of the community is strongly upon the side of
obedience to the law 1t is the peculiar duty of those
who profess, and will add, all who are concerned
in the administration of justice and the execution Of
the aw-it is especially their duty to elevate and
strengthen the spirit of obedience to judicial au-
thority, and is matter of deep regret when any Of
those whose province it is to aid in any manner in
the administration of justice, by their own example
encourage disregard of the decisions of its courts
any of its judges
The opinion of Judge Duer, which is consi-
dered one of the most important documents
which have emanated from the bench of
this city for some time, will be published in
full in to-morrow's HERALD. The Common
Council of New York-the lawmakers and
law-breakers of our city-are in very awkard
position, and will have to cry peccaui for their
offence against the laws of the State and the
constitution of the country. Is there good
time coming? Smoke, smoke, smoke.
