OCEAN srKAmERs.-It Il stated that Mr.. Cornelius
Vanderbilt Of New York--ususlly called Commo-
dore vanderbIlt-is now building two fine steamers
sopiy from New York to Havre or Liverpool. and
that they viii be ready in the course Of the coming
sprios I. Il further stated that II s bis ultimate
Intention to have six or eight additional steamers
put upon the same line The material reduction 10
the lines between this continent and Europe, du-
ring the past year, has made more steamships desi'
rable, and Il 10 thought that the Commodore viii
make handsome speculation.
Mr.. Antoine Fourier, who was expelled from
France under Louis Phillppe's government died
recently In the Parish 81 Plaquemines, La. His
name ID mentioned in Louis Blanc's History OF Ten
Years as having been accused as a promoter of q
conspiracy against the King. The poor old Repub
. iican, who once moved In the most fashionable
circles Of France, died unwept, unhonored, far
from his country, in state bordering on indigence
The NExr NEws.-When the steamship Pacific
left Liverpool It was announced that no other mai
would leave for the United States until the 9th inst
We cannot look for further adyices, therefore, til
about Christmas, unless, possibly, the propeller
Sarah Sands, which was to have sailed on the 6tf,
should bring us intermediate intelligence.
THE MAYOR OF BosroN.-Dr. Smith, who has just
been eelected mayor of Boston, in returning his
thanks 10 the people, on Monday evening, thus
,alludes to the Burns fugitive slave case:
1t ia said that have unconstitutionay called out
the militia, voices, no. no!lbut what did callthem
out forY 1t was to save your lives, and protect
your property, and | will do it every day in the
week Ii it Is necessary loud applause. But God
forbid that there should be occasion for it
again. My eympethies are as strong and profound
as yours, and do assure you that there can be no
oppression of the people or of an indiaidual for
. whom should not feel the deepest and warmest
sympathy. But when sympathy says one thing and
lsw another, shall not let my sympathies stand 10
the way OF my duties as magistrate. Applause.
