All further intercourse is declined
| The unfortunate husband of this New York piece
OF upstart vulgarity is member of the 7th regi-
| ment; and if there are many wives in New York
capable of such return for solicited courtesy and
iavors, we are not at all surprised the men of New
| ork are ready for fight, or for going any where
| from home.
THE SHTPrrSG INrEREsr.-rhe impolicv and un-
| timeness of the Morrill, tariff, which has now
been in practical operation for a period Of nearly
| six weeks, beginning to be c0nsp icuous
enough so far the interests of our mer camille
marine involved. We had occasion, a few days
since, to show the disastrous effect of the al
most total suspension of trade, upon shipping
| property; but that total suspension it could prob
ably endure, for a long while without material
! damage, but for loss of freight, consequent upon
! the curtailment of foreign trade, by the almost
prOhibiGry duties now in vogue. As it is, there is
no present remedy. The shipOwners must ''grin
and bear it, at least until the re-assembling Cf
| Congress, when, loss of revenue, ETC., probably,
may induce that body either t." repeal or modi!y
! the shOrt-sighted legislation Of last spring. We
find in the marin list of the Express the names of
thrty-eight vessel from foreign (mosty European
ports from the lst the Sth instant inclusive all
| in ballast.
| 1t would be some recompense for the loss of bu-
slness at home if employment readily OBJ
tainabe formerly, but this unfortunately is not
| the case; the apprehension of prvateering preu-
| Ia
and South American ports, and giving the best
! treights to French, English, and North of Europe
| bottoms.
The whole number of vessels at the wharves in
this port, according to actual count, Wednesday,
was as follows:
Steamers. 80. Sc Brgs................. I1O
ShpS...,.........- l64 Schooners.... ........ lSg
To.al ............................ 627
| large proportion of this feet is now Withdrawn
until times change for the better; and the re,
mark applies with equal truth to other ports where
! shipping is owned.
| the New Jersey coastng vessels are mostly laid up,
and will so continue until the is ended. Many
OF the sailors, however, are employed in plotting

WATERLOO The DAY AFTER THE BATTLE.-On the
surface OF two square miles it ascertained that
fifty thousand men and horses were lying! The
luxurious crop OF ripe grain which had covered the
| field ot battle, reduced to litter, and beaten
into the earth, and the surface, trodden down by
the cavalry and furrowed deeply by the cannon
wheels, strewed with many relic of the fight
Helmets and cuirasses, shattered firearms and
broken swords; all the variety of military orna
| ments, lancer caps and Highland bonuets uniform,
Ot every color, plumes and pennon; musical instru
| meptg, the apparatus of artillery, drums bugles;
bat, good God! why dwell on the narrowing pic
| ture OF a fOughten ed?-each and every ruin0us
display pore mute testimony 10 the misery OF Such
| battle. Could the melancholy appearance of this
scene of death be heightened it would be by witness
ing the researches of the living, amid its desolation
| for the objects of their love. Mothers and wives
and children for days occupied in that mourn
| tul duty; and the confusion the corpses-friend
| and Toe intermingled as they wereotten rendered
the attempt at recognizing individuals difficult anc
sometimes impossible.
In many places the dead lay four feet deep upor
each other, king the spot some British square
had occupied, exposed for hours to the mur derous
fire of French battery. Outside lancer and cui
rassier scattered thickly on the earth. Madly
| attem pting to force the serried bayonets of th,
British, they had fallen in hootless essay by tn
musketry of the inner files. Further on, YOU trac
the spot where the cavalry of France and England
| had encountered; chasseur and hussar were inter
mingled and the heavy Norman horses of the I'm
| perial Guard were intersperspd with the ga
! chargers which had carried Albion's chivary
Here the Highlander and tiralleur lay side BY side
together; and the heavy drageon, with green Erin
badge upon his helmet graphing in deatt
| with the Polish lancer. On the summit OF th
ridge, where the ground was numbered with th
dead and trodden fetlock deep in the mud and gor
| bv the frequent rush of rival cavalry, the thick
| strewn cOrpses of the Imperial Guard pointed GU
the spot where Napoleon had been defeated Here
! in column, the favored corps, on whom his las
chances rested, had been anninated; aud the ad
vance and repulSe of the guard was traceable to
| mass of fallen Frenchmen. In the hollow below
| the last struggle of France had been vainly made
for there the Old Guard attempted to the
British and afford time to their disorganiZed com
| panes to rally.
| OUR PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENCE.-In reply t
inquiries on this subject, we have means of satin
| with certain accuracy the number of well-armet
| troops now in the service of Virginia. Besides sey
enty- five thousand Virginia troops armed to tn
teeth, there is large number of Southern soldiers
variously estimated at from fifteen to thirty thou
sand, now here and on their way to the field of ac
ton. In addition to this the entire IN ale popuiatio
OF the State, from ten years of age to eighty, hav
arms and are eager to lend their aid in guerilla
any other kind o! warfare that NAV be necessary
The celebrated Texas Rangers, Ben McCuoct
with his Texas mounted men, is said to be on hand
put obvious considerations suggest that we shoul
not mention his locality He will give the enem
some lessons in guerilla fighting which shall mar s n
them rue the day they set out in war :" "
