BRITISH OPINIONS OF AMERICAN NEl-.
TRALITY.

A correspondent OF the London Star saws .
. There is one question which must often oc-
cur to the public in connection with orr
Chinese relations. How is it that we cannot
take common ground with the Americans in
our proceedings with that country W. do
not profess to have any exclusive interest 1t
at stake. Every step gained is gain for them
AS well as for ourselves. They are nrgotiat-
ing for the same object as ourselves. WHY
cannot we. then, act in concert with that
country, There can be but one answer Our
adniralS, and governors, and ambassadors
claim the privileges of going to war with the
chinese without waiting for instructions from
home and with the assurance that either hv
the influence of their family connexions in
the Cabinet, or through the readiness Of tic
English nation to enter into a war, they will
be supported and carried through ii any cost.
The American people allow no such latitudes
to their servants abroad. When the French
and English Ministers invited Mr. Reed. the
late United States Commissioner to unite
with them in their hostile operations against
China, he replied that his country was at
peace with that empire, and until declara-
ton OF war was voted hv majority OF the
representative of the American people Mt
Washington, he had no power to enter upon
hostilities. Would not tie bdianG. of dlranfa-

a liberal display ofsuch presents as miniature

dered necessary by our hostile policy, and
which amounts in the aggregate to nearly as
much as the whole value of our exports to
China. Will not the people of our country,
by and by, see how the question of taxation
is involved in the policy of permitting Cover

THE GREAT EASTERN AS A CARGO CARRY.
ING VESSEL

The London Times has the following OBJ
servations OH the ship as 4 cargo carrying
vessel "A great objection with the opponents
of large ships was, that this one could never
get cargo, or, if she did, it would swamp
the market to which ii was consigned. When
these arguments are fairly weighed against
the extent OF our trade with the East, and its
gigantic annual increase, they appear LITERAL
y almost absurd. Even as late as 1851 steam
communication with China and other parts OF
the East was in its infancy. There was then
only one mail service month. In 1852 this
was made fortnghtly communication, and
now-although there is one week-the de-
nland for steam freight and passage ID greatly
in excess Of the supply. In 1851, when this
new system was first originated, the trade to
the East in outward tonnage only amounted
to 49, o52 tons. In 1858 it ammounted to
946, SOB tons, or nearly double. The value of
this export trade has increased in the same
short interval in the same immense proportion
-heing now with Australia 100000, 900 and
with India ELS, 900, 900, per annum, exclusive
Of bullion. The export trade with China
from this country does not so correctly in
dictate its true value, as much Of the tea and
silk Is paid for by the cotton and opium sent
from India. Yet tho value of the silk and tea
imported from China is like the indigo trade,
double now what il was in 1851, and is pro-
badly little under Els, 900, 600. IT. then, the
tiade with the East generally has increased at
this tremendous rate in seven years, when
railways were not commenced, what may not
fairly be anticipated when the fast progress
ing lines are completed in India, Ceylon and
Australia, and when the new treaties with
China and Japan begin to bear fruit
The monthly clearances of vessels to the
East are about $4,000 tons-so that vessels
like the Great Eastern leaving England once
mouth, could only carry one tenth OF thu
existing trade, and probably not more than

MURDER AT SEA.

The Margaret, from Lisbon to Quebec, put
into Falmouth to land Antonio, a Portuguese
one Of the crew, who had murdered Cap
tain Barker, bycutting his throat while ASLEEP
in his berth, and had attempted to murder
one of the crew.
A seaman named Cummings was awoke by
cut OH his cheek, and gave the alarm, when
Antonio attempted to shoot him with a revol.
yer, but he was overpowered and secured.-
The murderer had secured the mate by lock-
ing him in the cabin.
Antonio confessed that he killed the cap
tain when asleep, and assigned as a reason
that the captain gave him too much work,
and that the devil was in him. He begged
the mate not to let him be killed till he had
seen priest. The knives were common Ia

ed the captain, was taken from him by Cum

it; second was found in his sash. The revolt

fore. He told the crew that he killed the
captain, and would kill one man more
There had been no quarrel. He had been
drinking he said, and had taken bottle Of
spirits from the store the day before. All the
drawers in the captains writing desk, were
broken open. The mate caused the body to
be placed in a shell and buried in the ballast,
and made for Falmouth as the nearest port.

one fifteenth of what it will be in couple of
years hence. But six ''Great Easternsn
would be necessary to enable one to leave Eng
land once a month, and as yet we have only
one "tireat EASTERN afoat, or even thought
Of With such plain facts as these, what be-
comes of the objection that ship which can
do the long sea voyage to India in 80 days
will not get cargo? As to swapping the
markets of India, China and Australia with
5000 tons, which is only the cargo Of one
large vessel to each place, the idea is simply
ridiculous. Persons are apt to forget, when
they speak of the India and China market,
that it means supplying the wants OF 2O0,-
600, 900 people, and that two vessels like the
iGreat EASTERN always loaded and going
backward and forward as fast as they could
run, would hardly supply those markets with
nankeens and printed calicoes alone. The
question that has now to be solved is that Of
speed. A few days more will settle this,
and, if the ship only realized what the least
sanguine OF her admirers expect, the "Great
Eastern" will prove as great in commercial
point of view as she is already in all engineer
ing and scientific one.

SINGULAR MAGNETIC ATTRACTION or MrjlN THE
AMERICAN bAKEs.-The smalleIfakes of Ameri-
ca whose wild and solitary shores attract the
tourist, have some singular physical peculiari-
ties. One of the early explorers of its north
ern regions, Sir A. Mackenzie, was the first
to notice the attractive power of the mud at
the bottom; which is sometimes so great that
boats can with difficulty proceed along the
surface. The extraordinary fact is thus
stated;--At the portage or carrying place of
Matrices, ON Rose Lake, the water is only
three or four feet deep, and the bottom is
muddy. have often plunged into it pole
twelve feet long, with as much ease as if |
merely plunged it into the water. Neverthc-
less, this mudhas a sort ofmagical effect upon
the boats, which is such that the paddles can
with difficulty urge themon. This effect is not
perceptibleo the south side of the lake, where
the water is deep; but it is more and more
sensible as you approach the opposite shore.
| have been assured that loaded boats have
often been in danger of sinking, and could on
ly be extricated by being lowed by lighter
boats. As for myself, have never been in
danger of laundering; but | have several times
had great difficulty in passing the spot with
six stout rowers whose utmost efforts could
scarcely overcome the attraction of the mud.
A similar phenomenon is observed on the Lake
Sagnaga-w it is with difficulty that
loaded boat can be made to advance, but, for
tunately, the spot is only about four hundred
yards over. This statement has received con-
firmation from the experience of Capt. Beck
and others, during the Attic land expeditions.
A part of Lake Huron, likewise in the same
district, appears to be the centre of a remarka-
BE electrical attraction. There is a bay in the
lake, over which the atmosphere is constant
~ highly charged with electric fluid;-and it
has been affirmed that no person has ever ira
versed it without hearing peals of thunder
