Ocean Steam Navigation.

We announced yesterday, the sale Of the
Collins steamers for the California hnr--and
with this announcement departs the hope 1T
seeing these magnificent ships once more in
competition with the CunarderS. The strug-
gle between them for the mastery of the
ocean was a representative struggle between
the two great nations that put them upon
the spas-and during that struggle We rs
Americans, had as much reason 10 be proud
Of our then existing yigor, AZ of our ancient
fame-though in the end, we have been
worsted, for rs Cunard has gone up Collins
has gone down. The waning Of our flag.
however, is not our fault aS Il Peoplc-or as
ship builders. or engine manuiacturerS-for
the "Vanderbilt," American property, de-
monstrates vet our Speed-and such ships rs
the Ocean Queen aud the two on the llavre
line are bottom relies. though, alas the
only relics, Of all the Atlantic Ocean Steam
ers that we have left.
The miSfortuncS Of the Collins line have
arisen from various cause.-the first was,
instituting II system of expensive lobbying
in Washington, which broug Int suspicion on
all concerned. Part of Congress became
corrupted but the body, rs q whole, were
dlsgusted-and the consequence was lrre""-
larty in. and hostility to, the Ocean Steam
Mail appropriations. Mingled with this. 1t
is true, was hostility Ia New York H. Il city,
and AS starting, concentrating point for com
merce. trade. and busness-so that W rstern
and Southern men We're frequently not s"r-
~ to have an opportunity to strike II blow ut
the city, as they thought, through the line -
whereas. they have been only changing oh
New York owned ships for ships owned in.
and sailed from England, or from Bremen,
or Hamburg. The line, next relying upon
"A large support from government, was doubt,
less extravugant in its expenditurrs-and
the consequence was, with the loss Of two

interested to be rid of the whole concern
Thus for year or two they have been haul

Influences of the War on Trade Stasnation
of Commercial Operations Everywhere.

The depressing effect of the present war
in Italy on the commerce OF the world, has
dispclled the golden dreams of those who,
for time supposed that it was going to pro-
duce great activity here, and rapid fortunes
for our merchants and shipowncrS.
Every mail that arrives from Europe
brings to our bankers and commercial men
letters from their correspondents there, AL
painting the same stagnatlUn and continued
dlstrust in trade 1t is not only III Austria
and Germany that this feeling prevails: but
in those countries which will strive and still
hope To remain neutral. that the same state
of things exists. Merchants refuse 10 enter
upon those enterprises which require time
for their Development and maturity. and
which constitute the life OF the trade OF
nations. Capitalists decline 10 loan their
money except to the most steadtast houses
ana then only tor short periods. The ma
tural result of this state Of Things Is an
abundance Of money and a scarcity OF safe
employment for it. In fact, the credit syS-
TEN is in Il state of collapse. and lis contrac-
ton is pinching commerce severely.
Another cause is combining with the one
Just cited to produce like effects. The curren-
cy of the world is experiencing the same pres
sure of contraction with the credit SYSTEM
The war has awakened the spirit Of boarding
TO such an extent that Sardinia, Austria,
and even Russia, have been compelled IL
