The American firms Augustus Hurd & Co.
and Russell 4 Co. have been given, each,
the monopoly Of river steam navigation in
China, the first firm controlling all the steam
ers on the Canton river. and the latter all
the steamers on the Yangtre. Appeals are
made to British pride to alter this state of
things. It's admitted that the American
style of steamboats, cannot be competed with
successfully on the former river.

EMANCIPATION IN BRAzL-It was stated
some time since, that the Emperor of Brazil
had proclaimed emancipation to all the slaves
in that country, and much satisfaction was
expressed in many quarters, at this, another
mark Of the advancement of civilization.
To the United States, itself but Just begin
ming as 1t were to rejoice in the abolition of
slavery, the news was especially pleasing.
But it seems the announcement was prema-
ture, that although no doubt determined on,
the policy of emancipation has not yet been
actually carried into effect. The Brazilian
minister at Washington, in note to Sec.
Seward, says:

that the Imperial Government has decreed the
emancipation Of slaves in the Empire, ss pub

The Montreal Transcript, noticing our
Comments on its recent denunciatiOn OF man

rupton, says - The FREE Press IS convent
emily silent about the e. unbounded vonalIty
and bareiaced corruption - for which the

The TrGnscr1p, IL mistaken. The FREE

subject The corruption and venailty

freely commented IN IN our columns. and
our Albany correspondent has given some
recent fresh disclosures Of it, which the editor
Of The Transcript wih find interesting, If he
