was as to the right Of the landlord to enter

EiS~ We find the following funny article
in late number of daily newspaper, pub
lished in Liverpool
The CRIsIs' IN THE UNITED STATES
The boaStful republic so much vauntcd by
vain-gorious Yankees, seems on the brink
Of a precipice, from which retreat will be
disgrace, and advance destruction. The
very wisest Of the American statesmen
Bonner, the Smith Brothers, Aaron Burr
aud oihers-are wrangling in the House of
Parliament in the Columbia District, over
a little volume called the Impending Cri-
sis, written by an OcioroOn named Heifer,
in wich the author proves that, unless the
States south of tho State of New Orleans
agree to abolish negro slavery, the North will
supply them with no more shoe-pegs, and Ut
ter financial ruin will be the consequence.
The members Of Parliament who quarrel
over this singlar book, betray all the Amer.
lean characteristics in their savage abuse
Of each other, and sometimes. they even come
to blows. The Hon. Charles Sumner, one
of their number, was recently fred upon by
Il man named Hooks; and Just before the
ASA sailed, it was reported that member
named Askins was detected in the act of
throwing away heavy rifle, which he had
previously managed to carry in pocket
made expressly for it.
" Though VIC have no particular faith in
the stability Of what the Americans call
their republican Institutions we ore sor-
ry to see our cousins working their own
ruin with the edge-sword Of political incom-
AS free-born Englishmen, we
are bound to sympathize with the so.caled
'AbolitioniSts' of the Northern States of
Georgia, Nashville, Harpers' Ferry, Vir.
giuia, ETC., iu their effort to free the ne
groeS from bondage. Some Of the greatest
men now living in America are blacks
the famous James Brown was a negro there
fore the Governor of Harper's Ferry hung
him. Horace Greeley, the famous Journal
isl, is a negro; tQsir greatest sensation
preacher, Henry Wood Beecher, is said to
be quadroon. Yet despite such evidences of
the Africans natural equality with the
whites in intellect as well as in everything
else, the Southern members Of Parliament,
led on by Mr. Sippi, are threatening to
dissolve the American Union if they are
not allowed to hold their slaves in New
York.
There can be but one termination Of this
state of things in America Civil war must
eventually break out among such discord-
ant elements, and then the Union will cease
to be, foreverP

STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH CHINA AND
our Government makes
haste to establish, or rather snbsidize line
of steamers between this port and the ports
of China and Japan, we may have the NOR
tifcation Of seeing the promised advantages
resulting from our extensive commerce with
these countries wrested from our grasp by
the Government Of England. The Eng
lish have not been slow 10 perceive the i'm
minent danger with which much Of their
Oriental trade is threatened by the geo
graphical position Of San Francisco, aud
especially when this city shall have been
brought into hourly communication with
the Easiern States Of the Union by means
of telegraph, or still more intimate com
mercial relation by means Of railroad. The
very superior relations enjoyed by the Uni
ted States with japan, afford still further
grounds for fear, while the success Of Mr.
Ward in China, Immediately upon the fail
ure Of the British aud French to effect a
closer connection with that Empire, by no
means tends to relieve the uneasness evil
IDENTIFY felt on this subject by British East
Indian commerce. England is quietly but
rapidly increasing her steam merchant Ha-
Wy, and augmenting the numbers Of her
steamers between her home ports and the
Isthmus Of Panama, although for the pres
ent the real design is yelled under the ap-
pearance Of increasing their trade with the
various Pacific countries Of South America.
In former topic we showed that many ar
ticles were suited to the commerce with Ja-
pan which were manufactured in England
and which, If supplied from that country
would inevitably enhance its commercial as
well as manufacturing prosperity. The
power and greatness Of England are de-
rived from her commercial relations, and it
is clearly the policy Of that Government to
extend those relations wherever practica-
BILE. Hitherto the Japanese Empire has
not been practicable to their trade, and con-
sequenlly no great efforts were made in that
direction. The successful policy Of the
United States has, however, opened the
doors Of the Japanese Empire, and already
lucrative commerce has commenced be-
tween their people and ours, the limits Of
which it is impossible to estimate. But
enough is known to warrant an unusual ex-
ercse Of zeal for its extension, and the
Federal Government will scarcely fail to
perceive the inestimable benefits it promises
to confer upon the country at large and the
Pacific coast in particular. Promptitude
is the virtue most required, and we ardent
ly trust that the Government will not nn-
necessarily delay subsidizing an enterprise
plethoric with grand results.-SaH Fran.

In late Victoria (Vancouver's Island)
paper, was announced the fact that Her
Britannia Majesty'S ship Satellite had left
Esquimalt harbor for the Island of Sau
Juan land that an arrangement for the
joint occupation of that Island had been
entered into between the two Governments
The latter statement we totally dsbelieve,
for the very sufficient reason that, from the
beginning, our Government has ignored
any ground for controversy or negotiation
in regard to the title to San Juan aud the
other islands east of the Canal de uaro.
The intendment of the treaty, as we have
many times demonstrated, is too plain to
admit OF misconstruction. 1t was Well
known in diplomatic circles in Washington,
Immediately after the ratification by the
Senate, Of the treaty of the 18th June,
1916, known as the Oregon treaty, that
Great Britain would have ceded even Van
couvers Island to the United States, had
the latter insisted upon its ceSson as sine
qua aOn. None knew this better than the
present President Of the United States.
then Secretary of State in the Cabinet or
Mr.. Polk. 1t was revealed to him in good
humored banter by the British Minister
then resident at Washington, Mr.. Packen-
ham, who permitted himself, on that occa-
sion, to be even jocose upon the facile aud
yielding diplomacy of the United States.
But it was not by regular diplomatic ugen-
cy VancouveTs Island was yielded to Great
Britain. A mere projet Of treaty drawn
up by Dir. Louis McLane, then American
Minister at the Court of ST. James aud the
British Secretary for Foreign Affairs, was
submitted to the Senate by Mr.. Polk, for
the consideration of that body. A strong
war feeling prevailed through the United
States The splenetc and offensive tone
Of the British journals had produced an ex-
asperated and defiant feeling in the breasts
of our citizens. Public sentiment demand
ed the assertion of the extreme line claimed
in the inaugural Of Mr.. Polk. Hostilites
with Mexico had already commenced, and
to adhere to the line of "54. 40" would
probably have resulted in breach with
Great Britain. 1t is possible the Presi-
dent himself was somewhat alarmed at the
prospect Of two simultaneous wars-one Of
them with a very powerful nation. 1t is
asserted, indeed, that in view of the mena-
cling condition Of affairs, and our total lack
Of preparation for an immediate struggle
with great laval power-a struggle that
would certainly result in the destruction Of
most of the defences of our eastern coast
and might possibly involve the capture of
the principal cites along the seaboard, =
Mr.. Polk secretly favored the ratification
of a treaty on the basis of the naked prOjet
submitted by MIR. McLane. 1t is certain
that but two two members Of the Cabinet,
