There has recently been thorough
purgation in the subordinate places in
the custom-house. On the first of the
present month, eleven removals were
made from the night-watch, and YES
terday twenty-six laborers wero dis
charged from the public store, No. IL

these removals are intended to reduce
the force employed. for others are Il

places Of those dismissed. Among the
removals on Saturday. we're some of
the most faithful and efficient laboring
men in the department, and the cause
Of their discharge is . perfect mystery

tract fronsa private TER written on
board The Uniisd St11aa sloop-of.war
John Adama giving = account of the
recent wit Of lat veal to the Fejse
Islands y whish tho writer charges
the English missionaries At those Is
lands with instigating the outrsges
which have been perpetrsted there
upon American citizens. He says the
missionaries have used their influence
over the chiefs to secure the trade Of
the islands in their own hands, and
the attempts Of Americans to share it
with them had excited their jealousy
and hatred. The writer continues
"Thus we're situated when our ship
arrived at the islands, and True Viii,
the principal chief or king Of Fsjee,
fearing that some Of bis iniquities and
foul murders might now be punished,
sent Immediately for his counsellor,
Rev. MI. Calvert, head Of the church
in the islands. II is said that this
chief has eaten Of the flesh Of more
than three hundred human beings.
that he is the greatest murderer and
canibal who has ever existed, and yet
this godly man readily undertook to
become his champion snd defender,
and told him he had nothing to fear ;
that bis influence was equally great
among English and Americans men
of-war, and he would see him safely
out Of his troubles. When a message
was sent to Tue Viii, that, he was
WAITED on board, he refused to come, |
butsent instead Mr.. Calvet. This
gentleman, however, would not do and |
an armed expedition was sent for the |
chief, who succeeded in bringing him
before our military tribunal, where he !
soon discovered that the boosted influ.
snce OF bis missionary friend was oil a
sham, and that bis own neck was in

les promising for the future to respect

1e also confessed that many Of bis
nurderous acts had heen at the insti-
'ation Of the English missionaries. He

ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES.
Lord Clarendon's speech in the House
Of Lords, stating that he had proposed
to refer the differences between the
two countries to the arbitration Of a
third power must be merely a revival
Of an old suggestion. The Washing
ton correspondent Of the Philadelphia
American, says that no formal pro-
position Of the kind was ever submit
ted to the Government; but in con-
versation between Mr.. Buchanan and
Lord Clarendon, a year ago, Lord
Clarendon presented it as mode of
adjustment. Mr.. Buchanan replied.
at the time, that there was only one
potentate the United States would in
any way consent to accept as the ar
bitrator, and that with him-the Gar
Nicholas-England was then at war.
1t may be that Lord Clarendon has
recently renewed this offer, and hence
the allusion in his speech. The id.
n will not accept, of arbi-

United States, and puts down the sum total at l4s,
$4,000 bushels We do not publish it because we dc
not consider il worth strer Ii is guess work
from beginning to end The fact is, there are nc
statistics by which any man ca, do more than con-
lecture. Last year, sundry New York papers gave
estimates. which they declared based upon re.
liable data None rated the crop at less than LOG
millioos-several went high as 200 millions. The
~ Y. Courier, on authentic information, put it at
l75 millions, and expressed the opinion that the
country could export 100 millions. The article
served its purpose-t played into the hands of for.
eign desers and helped to cheat the people Of this
country out of sundry millions of dollars. So far
from our exporting 100 millions, the exports, up
to this time, with prices to stimulate, have not
reached so millions.
