THE AcoUIslrIoN OF CUpA-The Charles

THE ACQUISITION OF CUBA.-The Charles
town Mercury, with many other influential
southern papers, discountenances every
movement having for its object the acquisi-
,ion of Cuba, believing that such result
would prove detrimental to southern interests.
1t argues that the value of that island to the
United States depends on the products Of
slave labor-that the peponderating influence
of the United States is anti-slavery, and
would be exerted for the destruction Of that
insttution-and that in the end, Cuba would
be reduced to the social and industrial con-
dtiOn of ST. Domingo.

American versus English Seamanship-C hal
lenge not accepted.

The following article we quote from the London
Observer. The facts disclosed cannot fail to prove
exceedingly gratifying to every American citizens
at will be remembered that early in the past
month there was waited across the broad Atlantic,
from the American Navigation Club, challenge
to the shipbuilders of Great Britain which created
no little interest, and which, after the defeat then
but Just accomplished of the gic yacht America,
oy one OF our own little island craft, gave rise to
no lnconslderable speculation as to what might be
the result of an acceptance of Brother Jonathans
proposal. The conditions of the contest were,
that the two ships should be modelled comman nded
and officered entirely by citizens of the United
States and Great Britain respectively and that they
should sail with cargo on board, from a port of
England to port In China, and back to the Eng
llsh port-the prize fer the winning vessel to be
10000, and to be paid without regard to acci-
dents or to any exceptions. 1t was also stipula-
ton that the vessels not to be under 800 TONS
nor over 1900 tons, American register. The
American club empowered the Messrs. Barring
Brothers Co., to enter into the specified condi-
tons with our shipbuilders. The club, also, by
the last clause of their terms, held themselves at
liberty to withdraw the challenge should it not be
accepted within 80 days the limit of time is now
rapidly expiring, and it was with no little dsap-
polntment that the head of the eminent house of
Barring d Co. was received in New York short
time since, when it was found heshad nothing like
an acceptance of the challenge to Communicate to
the American club, but that, on the contrary, he
had to report mo inquiry to the propositon.'-
AS sort of enticement, however, to our shpbnil-
ders, the President of the American Navigation
Club, MIR. ID. e. Bacon, is authorized, should the
present challenge not be accepted within the
thirty days., to allow the British vessel start of
fourteen days before the departure of the Ameri-
can craft, and also to allow crew picked from
seamen experienced in voyaging between English
and Chinese ports, while their own crew is to be
composed of American seamen and officers whose
experience is limited to sailing between American
and English ports. The Americans, under the
new conditions willing to augment the stake TO
f2O,OOO, or to any higher sum than the fl0000 of
the present condition most agreeable to u.s. but the
last named amount to be the minimum. The
Americans want a match, and it reflects somewhat
upon our chivalry not to accommodate them"

Prospects Frightening.

| By the California papers received by late arri-
walls, notice the rise Of Irish potatoes in tina,
market to price that will remunerate shipments
from these islands and as consequence, we have
the arrival of eight or ten vessels at this port and
have heard of others at Maui, probably to load
cargoes for San Francisco. The following items
from the Alta will 90 to show, that for the mex,
four or five months demand for potatoes will ex-
ist here, and also for other vegetables, which we
hope we can supply.
JAN. 1st.-Potatoes have advanced one hundred
per cent within a week, forming next to -four one
of our greatest articles of subsistence, the high
price of the latter has caused large quantities OF
them to be consumed; they do not damage by
transportation in bad weather, are comparatively
cheap, and packers in the mines prefer loading
their trains with them to any other article. The
crop of this country commenced coming in early
and not augmented over last year in proportion
to our increased population latterly the receipts
have been very light, farmers not being able to get
them to ports Of shipment, and number of vessels
engaged in the trade on the coast were lost in a
recent gale of wind. We expect to see this mar
ket entirely bare in few days, and know OF but
little more to come to hand they are being bought
on speculation at SC, and dealers jobbng at 10c
and 80 bbIs. sweet.
JAN. 6. PoTAroEs-There has been slight
decline, and jobbing sales made at 8 and SIC
We look upon this as merely temporary, arising
from the disposition on the part of holders to re-
alze on lots that are beginning to decay. The ad-
vance in this vegetable has been of healthy and
legitimate character, resulting from an increased
consumption, and the known wants of the coming
planting season for seed.
JAN. 10. PoTaToEs.-The week closes with
sales at and &c. There has been slight de-
cline from prices of the first of the week. This
vegetable will improve in price, as the stock is
small, consumption great, and the roads for some
time to come are too heavy to allow any large
amount to be brought in. The high price will un.
doubtedly force many into market as soon as prac
ticable which will tend for time to depress it;
but the large quantity which will have to be re.
tained for seed and the demand will soon exhaust
the supply. In the next sixty days we may look
for large importations from the Sandwich Islands
as many small vessels have cleared for there, te
procure them. 1,700 bbls s. /. have arrived bu
we do not hear of sale.
Our other staples, coffee and sugar, are also
looking up, and promise well. Coffee has, for SLY
months, been high; but we have but little to &C

sI From the Bangor, (Maine) Courier
of Nov. 10th, we clip the following notice ol
Mr.. c. H. Cushman. young gentleman well
known in Honolulu, during the protracted
stay of the Vandalia in cur waters. The
manliness of MIR. c., and all the excelence>
of character attributed to him by his towns
man in Bangor, are just the views entertained
of him here, by all who made his acquaint-
~"o~, - oo,,'','s.uuv' aiIu IOr-
low-officers in the ship in which he sailed.
He is one of those promising young men, Of
whom we shall probably hear again in his
profession, of which he is an ornament
Midshipman Cushman.
We were pleased to meet in our city day
or two since, Midshipman Charles H. Cush-
man, son of Judge Cushman, who has been
absent from the city for about three years, in
the naval service of the United States He
has recently returned in the sloop-oEwar
Vandalia, from long cruise. Young Cush-
man is now about twenty-one years of age,
appears in fine health and has a manly and
commanding appearance without starchiness
or those disgusting prettiness sometimes seen
in those of his profession. There is a hearty
rightness in his appearance which is highly
satisfactory and gratifying to his old friends
MidshIpman Cushman stands well in the
Navy among his superior officers, his mates
and his subordinates. This we might have
supposed from the fact Of his not delighting
in the exercise of petty tyranny, but in learn
ing to obey he has also learned to command
We may again express the pleasure it
gives us, to notice the return home on
kindly visit of Bangor boy, with a manly
character, good reputation and right aims
Mr.. Cushman has leave Of absence for
three months, which we doubt not he will
fully enjoy among his friends, and at length
return to duty to earn Cor himself those hon
ors aid that prelerment which application and
earnest efforts and honest intentions are sure
to win
