SICKNESS AND DEATH AT sRa--The British brig Isabella

her into port by the clipper ship Wide Awake as an

laws contain something to which they indiyi-
dually take exception. We could speak thus
with much better grounds than the British had,
in ls4s when they charged rs with a natural
affinity tor traitors and rebellious pests
If these English reviewers wanted to under
stand the Nebraska bill they should have stu
died both sides Of the question, and not con
fine their reading to the Seward 'organs.
Their own recent Legislation contains two very
fair parallels. For centuries, the law Of Eng
lard gave to British ships an advantage over
foreign vessels at the Custom House. Within
the last ten years. this was discovered to be an
error and violation of the principles which
are the basis Of Magma Charta and other defni-
lions Of the rights Of British subjects. Ac-
cordingly it was resolved to deprive British
vessels Of these privileges; and notwithstand-
ing the vehement protests Of the shipping in
terest, the reform was carried into effect. AT
the same time, and on the same grounds, the
protection duties previously imposed on TO-
reign produce were repealed, in spite Of the
clamor raised by the farmers. When free
trade was established, and the navigation Laws
repealed, the shipowners and the farmers OF
Great Britain used precisely the same language
as our abolitionists now do. They talked Of
broken pledges, and plighted faith: they &C.
eused their adversaries of grasping ambition,
and dishonest tactics: they foretold the ruin Of
the British empire, and the downfall of British
power, all through the passage Of the laws they
disfked. The Nebraska bill has produced the
same phenomena here. A month ago hundreds
Of free sellers and abolitionists foresaw the dis
solution of the Union through the passage Of
the Nebraska bill. Now, this cutlery is mate
rally altered. At least three-fOurths of the
prophets of evil have changed their minds and
are content with things as they are, just az in
England the protectionists and the shipowners
have resigned themselves to free trade and the
repeal of the navigation laws. In the one
country the clanor was produced by sec.
tional party, fighting to maintain monopoly
in opposition to the rights Of the whole people
in the other, by like sectional party con
tending to support fanatical prejudice in oppo
sition to constitutional principle. Five years
hence both outcrics will be forgotten, and 9
rule Of abiding force and truth established ir
both nations.

The case where large msneyed interests are ct
stake. In the first place, the care and jadg-
ment that would be exercised by large cor
lecHve body Of shareholders assembled in the
pace Of election, and freely communicating TO
each other their opinions and doubts, are neu-
tralized by system which delegates to few
interested and corrupt hands the important
powers that should have been exerted to check
and control them. When such men as Schuyler
and Kyle are made conscience-carriers OF
stockholders, as well as guardians of their
money, it is not in human nature to resist the
opportunities Of enriching themselves, which
their confding constituents seem to have
almost designedly thrown in their way. In
fact, the whole present system of railway
management is nothing but sort of general
invitation to oficeholders to help themselves
all round.
With such severe lessons as shareholders have
lately received in the fraudulent over-issues Of
stock effected by the officers Of the New Haven,
Harlem and Vermont Central railway lines,
there ought not to be any necessity for Impress
ing upon them the moral Of these facts. We
have seen, however, SO many similar warnings
pass by UNDECIDED that we fear their effect upon
stockholders viii scarcely endure as long as
the astOnishment caused by them amongst the
uninitiated.
