AMERICAN SHIPPING.-The London
Times argues that the bounty and draw
back system proposed by MIR. Lynch's
committee will afford only temporary
and partial relief to the shipbuilders,
and none at all to American merchants.
The following are the leading PROPOSE
tions Of the Times:

American computation of time, it is an
old world story. Five years have elaps-
ed since the restoration of the Union,
and the Americans have told us, evident
ly with perfect truth, that the recovery
Of the national wealth and power is
complete. Then why cannot Ameri-
can capitalists, and American merchants
and American shipbuilders, and Ameri-
can sailors do now what they did with
such natural skin and such entire SIC

The following passages from the re-

fence, said :-

Thus manifestly opened very pref

our share towards making the crooked
straight and causing the desert to bloom
like the rose, a reporter of the Tele-
graph called upon Mr.. Young, who is
now staying with his wife, at the Bing-
ham House in this city. Mr.. Young
was confined to his room with a tenn
porary illness, and only saw the allu-
sion to him in the New York papers
when shown to him by our reporter.
Reporter-There seems to have been
some dispute about the reading, MIR.
Young. WHAT'S your opinion!
Mr.. Young (reading the letter aloud
and smiling)-Explanation 1t is as
