The Charleston Mercury, commenting upon the
Monroe doctrine, says AS maxim of practical
policy, to be carefully guarded and always acted
on to the extent with which it is consistent with
the true interests of the country, the Monroe doc
trine is the plain dictate of sound craftsmanship,
and in that form will meet with universal support
IN the United States. To carry it further is to
make it absurd in reason and worthless in prac-
tice ;or it is sure sooner later, to be violated
in some obscure corner and the violation to be IN
redressed We shall have the ridicule of enacting
a pompods law, which on trial was found not
worth enforcing"

STEAM NAVIGATION WITH ASIA.

As the subject just now attracting good deal OF
attention. we insert below an extract of recent let
ter from CHAs. HUFFNAGLE, Esq, American Con-
sui at Calcutta respecting steam navigation across
the Pacific ocean:
claim the liberty Of inviting your attention 70 one
or two matters which appear to te be Of npor
tance And first to regular steam navigation acrosthe
Pacific It is no doubt well known to you that within
the last few years has produced great changes in
the navigation Of the great Eastern Seas The Peninsu
lar and Oriental Company Of London now carry mails and
passengers from Bengal and China via the Red Sea- eav
ing Calcutta the 8th of every month for Suez Their
aree and commodious always crowded with
passengers and the fare Suez at the head of the Red
Sea, voyage of twenty days. amounts to nearly five
hundred dollars There is opposition whatever on
this section of the route The company have line
between Calcutta and Hong Kong, in China From Hong
Kong the Pacific towards own Shores over
placid and resisess ocean, there is yet of
travelling by sailing vessels forced to leave the calm
lattudes in search of favorable winds.
stWhen the ship canal shall have been constructed
through the sthmus uniting the two great the
wealth Of the East must pass along shores but long
before this desirable undertaking can be accomplished
much of importance ght be done if in the absence
of private enterprise, unemployed Government steamers
commissioned to carry mails and passengers from
Hong Kong, in China, to Panama, port within
the territory of the United States from which
could securely and comfortably be conveyed through the
United States Europe. This would be the opening Of
that great road for the world and traffic and
venture declare that hundreds from India would avail
themselves of the opportunity when the route had
been successfully explored.

THE HILLOTYPE.

The subject of the suboned report made yesterday by
one of the committees of the Senate being of interest
the general reader as well as to the scientific class
insert it in full.
Mr. JAMES made the following report which order
ed to be printed:
whom was referred the memorial Of Levi L. HILL in
ference his alleged discovery in Heio-chrome sun
painting denominated by said H ask leave to submit
the following report:
Mr. HILL having been before the committee explained
to them the history and principles Of his invention and
submitted TO their inspection numerous specimens OF the
productions Of his art invention The committee have
formed the opinion that those specimens afforded sufficient
proofs that the inventor has solved the problem of photo
graphic coloraton The committee had in their hands
the plates unprotected by glass any other covering
and saw them freely rubbed and otherwise tested,
frning in their minds the fact of the invention and
the durability Of the pictures is believed thatmost Of
the philosophers, both in Europe and America long since
rave up hopeless the search after this branch Of science
which has been discovered by of citizens in
one Of the wild valleys Of the Catsk mountains for
moved from the schools of art The committee learn that
Mr. Hill has arrived at this discovery by which the works
of nature may be copied in their original hues through
three years Of persevering toll The committee is in
formed by Mr. Hill that his discovery has not yet been
perfected its practical Details which is not surprising
IL being but little than two years since he obtained
his first result But the beauty of the results to which the
process has already attained would seem to afford eyi
dence that it will be perfected at no very distant day
The prospective utility and Importance of this invention
are very apparent in its application to portraits, land
scapes botany morbid anatomy mineraogy conchology
history the reproduction Of valuable paintings,
and to various ornamental purposes The committee are
satisfied Of Mr. Hills claim to originality and priority Of
invention and deem it but just and right that he should
be suitably protected and encouraged and they deem it
particularly seeing that rival claim has been
set up in FRANCE since the announcement Of his discovery
was made TIE by which this process is carried
out being strictly chemical it would seem that the existing
patent laws would afford to the inventor the security
required Owing however TO Che short period remaining
Of the present session Of Congress- and the press of bust
ness the committee have been unable to devise any bet
ter or more efficient mode by which recognise the claim
Of Mr. H than by recommending that his memorial, to-
gether with this report be placed the records of the
Senate.
