FALLING or THE NEw YORK STATE ARsENAL.-The roof of the new State Arsenal in course of completion al the corner of Seventh avenue and Thirty-htlh street, fell in about two o'clock on the morning of the 18th ult., with terrible crash, carrying with il the walls on three sides of the building. Fortunately. the accident happened al an hour at which persons are seldom abroad in that section of the city, and consequently no loss oi
 life was occasioned. Portions of the fall ing walls. however, fell upon buildings in. the vicinity of the arsenal, slightly wound ing a woman named Gould, who was in bed, and killing horse and couple of dogs. The contractors for erecting the arsenal, Messrs. Cleveland & Backus, expected to have the work finished by the first of December. The contract price was $67, ,0O0. The damage. which is estimated at $25 5,000, will fall upon the contractors.

THE BB1r1sH Sn1powNER AND THE FoRE1cYER.-A correspondent ofthe Lon- don Shipping Gazette calls attention to the present depressed condition of British Shipping. He says:
 More than one-,hird of tue tonnage in the ports of London and Liverpool are lying unemployed, and in Calcutta, Bom- bay, Madras, Singapore and China, there are upwards of 100000 tons of British shipping lying idle. The value of ships has depreciated within the last two years 50 per cent.
 Ship building at the outports is almost suspended, and thousands of carpenters and other artisans are unemployed and starving; vast numbers of master marin CTS, officers and seamen, are also idle, and in the greatest distress.
 The reason for this, he argues, Is that while the foreigner enjoys the full beneht of their carrying trade, Great Britain is virtually excluded from the carrying of trade of other countries. In regard 10 the policy of the United States he re- marks:
 America excludes us from her coasting trade, and which, from her extensive sea- board is of immense importance. A par ticipalion in the carrying trade between New York, Boston, New Orleans and San Francisco would be invaluable to our shlp- ping, especially those belonging to our North American colonies; and if anything will have tendency to dissever their con neclion with this country, it will be the continued neglect of our government IT procuring for British and colonial shipping full reciprocity from the United States New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are al most dependent on ship. building, and coulC compete successfully with the American builders, but they are excluded from sell
 ing their ships in the United States, al' though that great republic can sell he !, vessels in any Balish port, free of dnty and our own ship builders having to pa! heavy duty for timber, gives the American builder a protection as agalnst the BrltIsi . ship. builder, so that not only our ship-own CTS, but our ship builders, are subject to ruinous aud unfair competition with tho United States. This state of things call . aloud for immediate remedial measures He recommends the calling of meeting all over the country of ship-owners, sea ' men and others interested, asking govern . ment to enforce restrictions or prohibition on those nations who do not give them fnI ? and complete reciprocity; and iflhat fails they must thunder al the doors of Parlla ment.
