The steamer American, that arrived in this port
from New York, for California, was to have sailed
yesterday morning, having received the provisions
and coal requisite for the continuance OF her vow
age but she is detained on account of report that
she is of suspicious character, that she has on
board large lot of arms and cannon for Russian
against the Allies and it appears true that the
English and French steamers of war are determin.
ed to take her at all hazard when she gets beyond
the protection OF this port.
These reports said to have originated with an
EngIishnsn who bad shipped in this port as second
mate to the American, and remained on board only
two or three days, and left with bad feelings, and
then went TO the English Admiral johnson, and in
formed him that he saw several cannon, &c.

The Chicago Tribune a Republican pa
per, gives the following description Of the
manner in which the Irish Catholics of that
city undertake to rule America" What
a blessed thing foreign government must be
here in the United Statesl
The scene described took place at the re-
cent charter election in that city. The
Tribune says:
The Irish poured into the CRY from all the
surrounding country, and voted. Hundreds OF
Catholic foreigners in Cook county came To
Chicago to help their countrymen. Many Of
these vagabOnds voted two and three times
each, gong from one ward 10 another. Drunk
Ell IRISH sailors were known 10 have voted as
often as four times, under assumed names,
changing clothes for the purpose, At the Sew
enth Ward, lrishmen were seen, after having
voted, 10 fall into the ranks and work ther
way up To the window and vote again, while
around the polls stood q wild, excited mob of
Thousand Cells, threatening death TO all who
opposed them. Hundreds who were challenged
and rejected at the wards on the South
side, swarmed over TO their countrym men on The
North side, and there deposited their ballots.

American sIeefing.

We hope our American readers will bear
in mind that public meeting will be held
at the Court House this morning at 10
o'clock, for the purpoSe Of appointing dele
gates to a convention to be held at Clarks-
vile, to select an American candidate for
Elector in this Congressional District. The
Importance Of selecting prudent, sagacious
men as delegates, ought not to be over
looked. The ensuing campaign is to be
one Of the most interesting ever had in
this State, and the very existence of the
American party depends upon the ability
with which it shall he conducted. No mis-
take should be made, even in the least
important of our primary meetings To
the district convention only such men
should be sent as will exercise discretion
and sound policy in the selection Of an
electoral candidate

RT- Mr. BUCHANAN, the American Min
istcr, has sent home from London, an origi-
nal portrait Of JONI HAMPDEN, the ceIebra-
ted English patriot. This portrait belonged
to Mr. JOIN MACGREGoR, member of ParIia-
ment for Glasgow, ana is presented by him,
through Mr. Buchanan, to the Congress OF
the United States, who will, undoubtedly,
give it a conspicuous place among the ma
tional pictures. 1t is one Of the only two
original portraits of Hampden now in exis-
tence. The picture is now in the Custom
House at Philadelphia, awaiting Mr.. Blu.
chanan's return to the United States.

Instrumentation.

As usual, he prospect of good times has ex
cited the mercantile community beyond meas
ure, and the old scenes of over imUOrtatiOn-
are being repeated. February aud March both
show large increase on the importatIons OF
last year. 1t is true that Il year ago at this
time the country was Just recovering from a
severe financial stringency which necessirated
as well as cOunseed prudence But even al
lowing for this perturbating cause, q com
parisOn between the years 1855 and 1896
shows that we are now going forward too
fast, For instance, in February the total
amount of dry goods thrown upon the market
was s. ,498, 959 against S., 400, 400 last year;
while the amount entered for warehouse z
was only $564,2ll against $l,O85, 400. IL
March, there have been thrown upon the
market dry goods to the amount of $500
795 a against 81 ,O2l last year; the amount
wsrehoused being about the same as in Febru
airy. Taking the quarter altogether, the mar
ket has been stocked with $28, $50, 343 against
$l7, l23, $40 last year. This shows great ia-
cllities tor obtaining money, and great perhaps
reckless speculation
We know that some sixty vessels are long
overdue Most of these bore valuable cargoe-
The cargo of the Pacific was valued at a mil
ion and half; that of the John Ruled &c at
half a million. Among the sixty 1t is greatly
70 be feared that more than one will never be
heard of again, and their cargoes will be lost.
But if all these vessels had arrived safe in
New York, and added their cargoes to the
enormous stock thrown upon the market, how
would trade have born itl Let merchants
beware-curtail their operstions-import eau
tiousy, rather too little than too much-or
we are on the eve of an other suic dal financial
crisis.-N J. Herald, March 3lSt.
