Secretary Robson has made Il report to
Congress concerning the revival of the ship
building interests Of the U. S. He says the
only proposals from any organized and reliable
sources are those of the International Steam
ship Company, which he transmits, with an an
alysis of their provisions and effect, showing
that by them great advantage will be gained to
the navy and the country, and that We have
ores in this country which will produce iron Of
much greater power Of resistance and tensile
strength than the iron of Great Britain at no
greater expense than the difference in the cost
Of labor that this superior strength will equa-
lie the difference in cost by lessening the
weight of the ship and machinery that by the
farther gain of facilities offered in the building
docks the cost of ships of 5000 tons and up
wards will be equalized with those built in Eu-
rope that one such building yard operating
successfully with facilities concentrated and
economical in each Department, will demon
strate our ability to compete successfully with
our commercial rivals and will afford at once
practical encouragement TO the revival of ship
building throughout the country and the re-
establishment Of commerce. He concludes as
follows II will hereafter endeavor to suggest
in obedience to your resolution, some system
to be perfected under your elaboration, for the
establishment Of lines of ocean steamers adapt
3D. rs far as may be, for commerce in time of
peace and for naval militia in time of war

COMMUNICATED.

The opposition to the bill in the City Council
tor exempting from taxation, all manufacturers,
who employ ten hands does not arise, imagine,
altogether from the fact Of the possible loss OF
revenue, but from considerations of exact jus
tice to all, and the success Of the revenue; for
be it said to the credit Of the members of the
Council, they are gentlemen, who, in the main:
are practical and sensible business men-tho
roug hly qualified to appreciate subject Of this
kind, aswellas the subject ofrevenue and finance.
Indeed their ability in this latter respect could
not be more forcibly demonstrated than in the
revision of the charter of the city, an able inan-
cial as well as legislative scheme, adopted tor
the general good. But to resume the original
subject, and | will merely state my point with
out elaboration. Messrs 4. & Co., we will sup
$4,000 capital, and invested $4,000 in stock,
900 in building; bought all the necessary
tools, machinery, &c., paid taxes on all capital
and property and are getting under way and
becoming by reason of the circulation of capital
through the family expenses ofthe firm, through
the hands employed and their incidental expen-
ditures, and through the employment OF all the
mechanics and artisans whose services are re-
uuired in the conduct Of the mandatory,
source of considerable revenue to the city. The
Council now pass al ordinance exemptlng all
manufacturers who may from that time settle
in Alexandria and employ ten hands. Messrs;;
B. & Co. with $4,000 come to our city ana
open sugar mandatory alongside Of Messrs
A. & Co.; they (Alessrs. B. & Co. have no
taxes whatever to pay, which fact they yentl-
| late in suggestive advertisements, inviting at
tention to this advantage by reason of which
they arc enabled to sell sugar at &c per ID lower
than their neighbor An exhaustive contest Is
kept up for some time Finally Messrs. A. 4
Co. are compelled to succumb, they gather up
what little they have left and depart. Is this
fostering the manufacturing interests Of the
city? 1t is well known that in this progressive
day fraction Of 4 cent on the price Of many
articles of merchandise will sell them or defeat
their sale If therefore there is to be any ex-
emption from taxation, let it be uniform. The
most of the factories of this town are young and
need encouragement; let the Council! not place
them at so great disadvantage, or the very
object aimed at, the general good, may be dis
astrousy affected rather than subseryed.

The Coal DrFFIcULTY.-Th following is
all extract from letter received by u coal mer-
chant of this city froma correspondent in Pha
delphia:
I'VE are still doing nothing on coal; the men
or rather their leaders seem determined to com
pei an entire submission to their terms, includ-
ing, fixing Of minimum rates and prices OH
which to base wages;claiming right to suspend,
&c They made farce Of submitting to arbi-
tration, but az soon as they found it was taking
practical shape, they shifted ground from IL
So basis at port Carbon for Schuykill coal to a
$3.50 basis at New York, on which the confer
ence broke up. An attempt will now be made
to get an arrangement for local arbitration by
which each region or even subdivision thereof
can settle these details We fear nothing will
lie settled until after the lst Of May. The
Mems Union do not seem to be united; the
Luzerne Co. men are discussing actual wages
aban doning the basis to which they were pied
ged The Lehigh men declare they will settle
their own wages. So the hope is we shall
break them in, in detail. y

RELATIONS WITH GREAT BRlTAIN.-The
Washington Republican says:-"It is with
pleasure that We announce the gratifying in
telligence that the labors of the Joint High
Commission are upon the eve of favorable
termination. Their work is so nearly finished
that the American members Of the commission
desire the President to call the Senate together
on the Sd of May instead of on the 10th prox-
imo, but in order to allow the officials ample
time to prepare the necessary papers accom-
panying treaties to be submitted, it was deemed
advisable to defer calling the Senate together
until the 10th of the coming month The
English Commissioners had not up to late
hour last night, received final dispatches in re-
gard to their labors, but it is understood that
such assurances have been received as to con-
vince them that the propositions already for
warded will be agreed to by the British Gov
eminent. 1t is expected that the treaties to
be submitted to the Senate upon its assembling,
will cover all the questions referred to the Joint
High Commission for its consideration.
