From the London Rerteto of May % we clip the
following:
We know that it is in vain to appeal to the Amer
people from this side of the globe. But know
ing also how impusive they are-how liable to sud-
den Tits OF enthusiasm, and to fits, quite sudden. of
apathy and indiference-we think that the war
fever of the North, violently it appears to rage
may subsde quite as quickly as it has been excited
The South has made up it's mind for independence:
and sooner or later will achieve it. But depora-
Bile as its mistake may have been in itself and in its
consequences, still more deplOrabe will be that of
the North, if, by unhpppy pertinacity, it succeed
in re-conquerng by fire and sword, by blockade
and by inv asion the unwilling people, whose pecu-
liar institution the only weakness and fatal in
gredient in the constitution of the late unnatural
cO-partnery. By acknowledging the secession of
any State that shall decree its secession by the legal
votes of its people, the North would be free not
alone of the guilt, but of the danger arising from
slavery; and, released from the evil passions and
the bitter conflicts of the question, would have
leisure and opportunity to consolidate far nobler
Union, extending the great West to the shores
OF the Pacific, and embracing in due course of time,
by peaceab'e and amicsble arrangement with Great
Britain and Canada, the whole of the British pos
sessions With future such as that before it, and
with territory larger than Europe, in which, as
in England, no slave should be able to breathe,
why should they look upon the loss of the slave
States as a calamity? OF what use to a truly free
and really united North would be the possession Of
on the banks Of the Lower Mississippi? Were the
North wise-did it hate slavery as it ought, did it
fully appreciate the career that would lie before it
soon it could declare to the world, with a
clear conscience, that there were no slaves within
its borders; it would hail the secession of the South
as the most signal advantage that could befall
and instead of fighting to re-annex slavery, would
build bridge OF gold for its retreating enemy
The conflict is not only irrepressibe, ,as Mr. Seward
has declared, but irreconcilabe; and unless the
North is prepared not only to subdue the South,
coute qi coe, but to abolish slavery after the con-
quest its duty is to yield to the demand of separa-
tion.
RELIC FOUND IN THE SEA.-A correspondent
of the London Times writes from Scarborough,
England:
A highly interesting relic of BY gone DAYS was re-
Gently fshed up in the trawng net of the smack
Vigilant, Of Hull, near the Goodwin Sands 1t con-
ssts of large Roman vase of remarkably strong
earthenware, two feet six inches in height and five
feet nine inches in circumference, having two
handles and a round bottom; it has evidently been
intended, when used to be sung. When first
brought up it presented an extraordinary specta-
Gle, being completely covered with seaweed, oyster
and musse shells, together with deep and very
beautiful coating of coralines. Unlike the
hshed up by the fisherman in the Arabian Nights,
it was not cOrked or sealed with the seal of Solo
mon, nor yet did any geni emerge from it; but may
it not from its capacity, holding sixteen gallous
and the place where it was found, have been used
to hold supply Of water for one of the galleys of
the Roman squadron before the birth of Christ?
BUSINESS IN THE New York BOARD OF CoUN-
CILMEN.-On the 10th inst, petition was received
from Stephen Ii. Branch, informing the Board that
these are the times to try mems souls, that he pro-
foundly loves his country; was soldier in the
War of Rhode Island in lS43, and that his
name is recorded in the military archives of that
States that in April last he offered his services for
the present war, which were declined on the ground
that he could not endure the hardships of the camp;
that he a public journal called the Union,
which is devoted to the eternal union of the States
and demands the immediate death of Davis and
Beauregard and their disciples; that he respect
fully solicits the corporation advertisements for
which he will be extremely grateful until he dies.
The paper was referred to the Special Committee
on Printing.
