JOHN BULL MENDING HIS PACE ON THE ATTAIN
TIc-The last two performances OF the new
Cunard steamer Arabia will have the effect of
infusing fresh confidence and hopes into the
breast of John Bull, and Of rendering the con-
test for naval superiority between England and
the United States still more interesting and
exciting. Heretofore, the results of the weekly
contest were too invariably alike, victory al
most always resting with the steamers Of the
Collins line. But now the Arabia, built express
ly as prize disputant in the race, has twice
succeeded in beating her more immediate COM
,petitor, the Arctic, and has made the last west
ern trip in shorter time than that yet attained
by any of the vessels of the same line.
The Arabia arrived in port at noon yesterday,
having made the passage in ten days and some
thing over two hours-being a gain over the
time of the Arctic Of six and three-quarter
hours. Her preceding trip eastward was &C
complished by two hours inside of ten days
thus beating the Arctic each way.
This victory has been the cause Of great re-
joicing among the English residents of New
York. as there was an intense anxiety felt as to
the result Of the contest between the Arctic and
Arabia and heavy bets were pending on the
issue. But though this glorifcation is very ma
tural under the circumstances, the Collins line
can well afford to suffer this defeat, nasmuch-as
it will be seen by compilation under our news
hesd-that, Of the six quickest trips on record,
only one of them was made by Cunard
steamer, and that is the one now in question, it
being, moreover, the largest of the six. The
Arabia, however, has proved herself gallant
rival.

as the leading black men Of the North have set
their faces against the colonization project,
they will be very apt to rally the masses of
their Northern brethren in active hostility
against it at their forthcoming National Con-
vention at Rochester. We may further assume
that that convention will establish something
free blacks of the North and the white abo-
Iitionists, from Massachusetts to Wisconsin, and
thus bring another active element into the
agitation of the slavery question, which has
been passive heretofore.
