COUNSELLOR DAVID has returned from Carrollton
with flying colors. The old man, we suppose, will
now be blessed with peaceor at least until his an
cient enemy and prosecutor, Constantine ROLAND,
shall return from his sylvan retirement. Says the
Jefferson Journal Of Saturday:
His Honor, Judge Burthe, opened court in Carroll
ton on Thursday morning last, to hear Counsellor
David, who was convicted of assaulting and beating
very small boy, on the 18th Of June last, before the
Criminal Court The court at that time sentenced the
gentleman to pay fine Of $50 or go to jail He at
first deposited the amount of fine in the hands OF the
Sheriff of New Orleans, but refused to pay the up
costs for which he was bound. The Sherif OF our
parish thereupon sent for him and locked him up, and
now it seems that, having subsequently Withdrawn
the $50 deposited in New Orleans, he comes before
the court and openly that be has no property
either movable or immovable, and only Q few debts
due him. (which he is unable to collect) and that he
is wholly unable to pay up the COSTS ne anything
else After taking and subscribing the affidavit, the
court ordered his release-the next downward car
bore Counsellor David to his expectant and welcoming
friends in the city.
THREE MEN and four women, inmates OF q dsorderly
house on Julia street, between Franklin and Liberty,
were calaboosed on Saturday night. The keepers of
the house, one Price and his wife, smelt mice"
before the police came, and vamosed.
A MAN named David Kenney was found lying
very sick Dryades street, yesterday afternoon.
police officer had him taken to Charity Hospital.

Saturday last we extract the following paragraphs:
A shark, measuring near three feet in length, was
caught last Saturday at Bruy Landing. That fish was
rather out of his element this high up the river al
though we have been told that several had been
caught as high up as the mouth OF Red river;
On Tuesday evening last two negro men belonging
to Mr.. Valierre Landry, of this parish were drowned
while bathing in the river, opposite his residence

The Lafourche Union,' of Saturday, says;
During this week we have been visited by num-
ber of copious showers which were much needed.
These rains have been of immense value to the plan
ters. but came too late to benefit the corn which has
suffered severely in consequence of the long droth
which prevailed during the spring. As far as the
cane is concerned, the favorable expectations which
had been formed with regard to an abundant yield

MERCANTILE STEAM MARINE.

The dscontinuance of the subsidies to American
mail steamers and the consequent Withdrawal Of the
Collins line has proved very severe blow at the
prestige OF the American commercial marine, and
Great Britain is fast regainiDg the position of ocean
preeminence temporarily snatched from her by the
United States She cannot compete with US in sail.
Ing vessels but she has called to her aid an ally
potent than all the shrewd devisings of naval archi
tects to give speed to the eetwinged clippers, and
these now scour the oceanln vain attempt to compete
with the numerous steamers which have snatched
from them the most desirable part Of the carrying
trade that for short time belonged to them-the
transportation ofpassengers and Of valuable packages
OF little bulk. The mercantile ocean steamers OF
Great Britain are numbered by hundreds, and the
fleet is constantly increasing. No points are 80 wide
apart that steam cannot be made profitable in span
ming the distance and bringing them nearer together
England has regular lines OF steamers plying from
Australia and from the ports OF South America, and
they said to pay well. or the fortyve steamers
in the transatlantic service from Canadian and
United States ports, forty are owned by British
citizens Great Britain is fast monopolizng the
ocean mail service Of the whole world and we may
be very certain that it will be discharged in man
ner likely TO be most for the advantage Of her sub
jects. The American mercantile world already feels
this grevousy for the mails from almost everywhere
centering at and passing through Great Britain as
grand distributing depot, we cannot compete with
English merchants who thus have earlier intelligence
from, and means of returning earlier intelligence to-
foreign markets than we have. In the Rio market,
for instance the merchant of the United States can
have no chance to operate for he is practically ex-
cuded by the English merchant, who has his letters
before those for this country are shipped from Eng.
land and whose return letters may be on their way
Brazil before ours have left our shores Letters from
that coffee market must either come to Us BY steame
via England, or be entrusted to a chance sailing
vessel.
There can be no more powerful assistance in aid OF
commercial supremacy than that offered by vel
organized and general steam mercantile marine and
this England has, and it enables her to laugh at com
petition and with far more decided conviction of
her superiority than we had when our famous clip.
pers for the time enabled US to control the advantages
now commanded by her. BY her steam fleet she is
constituted the nearest supply market to the con
suming markets of the world and is beyond the reach
of any rivalry save that which may be instituted by
