The SHIPPING INTEREST. We published
yesterday a full and accurate review of the ship
ping interest Of the U. S. and particularly Of
New York, its Southern Californian, European,
East Indian and Australian trade, with stats
tics as to the articles of expectation, the wages
Of seamen, the number and nationality Of
vessels employed, &c. The salient point Of
this review is the startling proof which it fur
njshes of the fact repeatedly presented, that
unless the u. S. are willing to yield the SUI
premacy of the seas to foreign.natons, efforts,
combined and decisive, must at once be made
by American merchants and capitalists to resist
the monopoly by those nations of the ocean
trade. Similar proof is likewise supplied III.
cidentaly by the sad picture OF the decay of
American commercial interests in the Levaot
exhibited in tho letters which we yesterday
published from our special correspondent at
Constantinople. The American marine flag is
described as being actively superseded by the
English. ''The trim, rakish American banks
that formerly gladdened the eyes of the Yankee
wauderer in the Levant are now superseded by
the huge British screw steamer'"-N T.
