ATLANTIC STEAM TRADE-GALwAY AND CoRK
SrEAMEHs.--T The establishment of what is called
the Lever line Of steamers, between Galway and
New York, by the way of st. Johns, is beginning
to have its natural eflect-that Of competition
and competition is the life of business One of
the old Liverpool lines has hauled of from that
port and is to sail hereafter from Belfast touch
ing at Queenstown, and the pioneer ship is on
her way hither, with three hundred and twenty
passengers. The beneficial effect of this upon
the commerce and manufactures of Ireland can
not well be over estimated We notice that the
subject Of the subvention by the British govern
ment has recently attracted some attention in
the House Of Commons.
1t appears that Mr.. Cunard, who has made an
immense fortune out of his own contracts with the
British government, has offered to let one of mis-
regular lin9s stop of Cork for $4,000 each call,
and we hear that the Liverpool shipping interest
is much opposed to the present concession to the
Lever line. We are not surprised at this. There
is every prospect Of further commercial dcrange.
ments at that port. We are informed that the
African Steamship Companies are about to
change their European terminus to Southamp-
ton which, in all respects but its vicinity to the
manufacturing towns, is much better harbor
than the former.
As regards the Lever line, We learn that the
government, some weeks since, actually signed
a contract giving II in all si55,0OO per annum,
and friend assures US that he has read 1t in that
shape; but there are some details in regard to the
ships now building which are left to be settled
to suit the arrangements and requirements of
the particular service. II will be seen that the
Cunard liners take no Storage passengers, and
that by their touching at Cork ordinary emf
grants will gain no advantages whatever, while
all the freights and busncss of Cork will be cuff.
GENTLY accommodated by the new line. The
real Importance of the Lever line consists In its
touching at st. Johns, Furnishing British
colony, and there, by means Of the telegraph, an
ticipatng the news of the Cunardcrs, or any
other lines either way, by five or six days In
good weather this has been done repeatedly, and

Inc Governor, In one OF his yetoes the other
day, let out the secret that under the pretence
of economy the State mill tax was reduced one
eighth of mill below the figure Of last year,
while at the same time appropriations after APP
preparations were made, which, from the condi-
ton Of the revenue, there is no possibility of
paying-not the ghost of a chance. These ap-
preparations, of course, must be tackled on to the
State debt to swell the tax Of next year. At
what point the amount Of that responsibility is
to stop it is impossible to predict

ALARMING INCREASE OF THE STATE DEBT
The democratic members of both houses of the
State Legislature have issued an address to the
electors, with reference to the proceedings of
the late session, in which they refer to the in
crease of the State debt, brought about by the
action of the republican majority. They say
Against the mandate Of the constitution without the
authority OF law; against the earnest efforts of the demo-
cratic members Of the Legislature; against the united
protest and remonstrapces OF the responsible State Off
GERS the political leaders Of the majority, whoee
ties encourage large expenditures and who fear meet
the responsibilities OF taxation, have devised the plan Of
annually borrowing 10 pay interest," and thus compromising
the debt at rate which will inevitably double it in tea
years. quadruple in twenty, and increase eghold
thirty years.
The present debt Of this State may be stated In round

Hauor to Whom Honor il Due.

A correspondent of the National JnteHigsaeer
eorrects an error of Mr.. GEORGE SUMNER, OF
Boston, in his Fourth of July oration who as
crbes the "armed neutrality''o of the maritime
powers of Europe during the struggle of this
country for independence, and which, doubt
less, operated powerfully in the achievement
of that great object, to Spain. The idea did
not originate, as Mr.. SUMNER suppose, with
the Spanish Minister, FLORIDA BLANCA, but
with Mr.. WIN. LEE The great power which
originated action upon it was Russia. This
the correspon dent proves by extracts from
letters of DR.. FRANKLIN, written while he
was in France and in constant communication
with all the Ministers Of the maritime DOW
ers, and during the very period when that
great measure was taken. Russia according
to DIR. FRANKLIN, took the lead in this great
measure; Sweden, Norway, Denmark and
Holland followed without delay; and France
and Spain were the last to adopt it.

since large bnlks like that in the Enterprise
can well afford to take steam for market
which paws little higher price than we can
we'll afford in the absence OF mills. This is
the first cargo OF wheat of any size through
his canal. aud it is a significant fact that 1t
finds a market in Richmond.
The OPENING OF this canal throws open an
immense territory which has hitherto been
almost cut of, and will develop one of the
most fertile sections of North Carolina. The
trade from this section will become immense
lr a few years, and a lively competition will
spring up between Baltimore Richmond and
Norfolk. For the wheat trade, Richmond
stands the best chance, at present; but in the
event of the erection of large Hour mills in
Norfolk. this will be cut off.
A Baltimore rowdy named John Braswell,

the peace here, but is supposed to have been
connected with recent outrages there.
