While standing in the office of one Of

noticed gentleman who came in with
his baggage, enter his name on the book,

had written his name upon the register
close by, the clerk looked At it with as
constituent. He called the other clerks
to look, and then he called one of the
proprietors, who seeing it, appeared
amazed.
We thought from the fuss that was
being made over the name, that the man
must be some celebrated person. The
idea struck us that it might be Prince
Albert, or some of England's noblemen,
but, as his features we're truly Ameri-
can, We concluded it must be some great
man, whom we did not know, belonging
to our country. While thus contempIs.
ting the man and his position, the head
clerk leaned forward and called

Britannia the Wave Ruler.

The New Orleans Picayune makes
the following remarks upon the deter
mination, expressed recently by Lord
Palmereton, that England should not, in
time Of war,respect the private property
OF the enemy:
The declaration that England must, at
all hazards, retain the command Of the
seas, is somewhat of a bold one, in the
face Of the mighty strides which France
has made toward an equality, and the
vast expenditures which are going on to
make the French navy equal in numbers
to that of England, as it is already
claimed to be superior in efficiency, disci-
pline and the possession of newly de-
veloped principles and newly invented
weapons of warfare. The frankness Of
the declaration is not lessened by the
accompanying Qualifications that England
cannot exist as a nation unless she is
supreme on the seas, unless she has q
navy which, in the time of war, will be
able to drive from the seas that of any
power whatever.
1t required some such nerve as that
which Palmerston has to tell the world
that England must command the seas, D
or must cease to exist. Her competition
with France for naval superiority, car.
ried on in time Of peace, is thus admit
ted to be struggle for existence. Eng
land must retain her predominance and
increase her preparations pari pasu
with the efforts of Napoleon to ap-
proach her, or she must decline into 9
second rate power at once, and 60 into
rapid decay. 1t is rare to see q prime
minister SO free in declaring motives and
purpose of state which look to assert q
supremacy over all other powers.

The Next Census.

Concerning the taking of the next
census of the United States we learn
that instructions for Marshals and assist
ants in taking the census are nearly pro-
pared. The notifications from those of
1850 will be slight. A compliance with
the recommendations Of the New York
Chamber of Commerce, regarding COM
mercial statistics, is not deemed pract-
cable. The Importance Of information
about internal commerce is fully appre-
ciated by the Census Bureau, bat no
method Of collecting that which is rcli-
able, through the census, has been dis
covered. The multiplicity of exchanges
which products and manufactures under
go in the course Of sale, resale and
transportation from one end of the
Union to the ether, renders an exact
computation Of the value of domestic
commerce impossible. 1t is estimated
that the cost Of taking the census this
year will reach fifteen hundred thousand
dollars, and the enumeration will exceed
thirty-one millions Of people. Superln-
tendent Kennedy intends to have return.
complete in less than three months from
the LIST Of July. They will be laid be.
fore Congress next session, so that an ap.
portionment law may be passed at once.
This however, will not be in session to
act upon the ratio for the Thirty-sev-
euth Congress, as a majority Of its
members will have been elected previous
to the commencement of the next SEES
sion, but it will enable those States
whose Legislatures meet biennally to
apportion their districts in ample time
for the election Of members of the Thir-
ty-eighth Congress.
