Our Glasgow Correspondent writes
The Atlantic season is starting
very much earlier this year than
for some time, and there is every
prospect of an active trade so far as
tourists are concerned. The nu mber

country and hence TO the Pa

very great, and already the book

The Times Of Tuesday published a
rather remarkable telegram from its
correspondent in st. Petersburg. 1t
contains a statement, worded with a
sort of official care, that the Servian
revolution will have less effect in
Russia than is expected. The PAN
slavic party, it is true, is always for
action bnt the Gear is a "real
autocrai," he is outside their influence,
and he cannot be led away. NJ. de
Giers is only the Cars servant, and
for the present, it is implied, the
Cars will is peace. We are inclined
to believe that this statement is &C
curale, and hal the Car abhors
the responsibility which would fall on
him in the event OF war; but IT is
subject TO the rider that he cannot
resist either a national expression Of
feeling, or a demand strongly put
forward by the Army. The danger
is not of his moving, but Of some
event occurring in Paris, Belgrade, or
Sofia which would make every Rus
sian think that he ought to move,

The detailed account of the new
Japanese Constitution, promulgated
on February 18th, the 2,545lh ami
versary OF the birth of tho foun CT of
the dynasty, has at length arrived,
and shows that the Constitution IS
the English one, with some moditi-
cations. The Upper House, for tx
ample, consists of "nukes and Mar
quises" who sit Of right, "Visconnts"
who sit by election among each
other, notables appointed by the
Grown from among public servants
or "men of erudition," and represent
tatives of the fifteen largest taxpayers
in each district. A more important
departure from English precedent is,
however, that all Ministers have a
right of seat and speech in both
Houses, so that the choice OF the
Crown is not limited to Peers and men
who can make themselves popular,
but may extend TO any competent
Japanese. II is to be understood,
moreover, that Ministers are not re-
sponsible to Parliament, but to the
Crown alone, and hat the monarch
is to remain the actual head of the Elk.
ecutive, and not a mere standard-bear-
err. With this view, the power ofthe
Diet has been seriously circumscrlb-
ed by a proviso that if for any rea-
son the Budget should not be voted,
the Budget Of the previous year shall
be legal for hat year also.

The Irish in America are inter-
fering with the Administration more
openly than usual. On Wednesday
a deputation from them waited on
the President to say, that they had
not at all approved Of Mr., Phelps,
and wished for a Minister "not like.
ly TO be moved from his American
ism by British batteries" The
President replied that was his wish
too, but that even if he chose one of
them, ne would probably, under the
influence of English social life, be
less acceptable to Irishmen at the
end Of his term than at the begin
ming. AS Americans, who are more
than 80 per cent. of the population,
wish their Minister to represent the
Union, and not only the Irish in it,
this interference must be not a little
calling ; and The President, who is
said to be exhibiting a will Of his
own, which greatly annoys the wire
pullers, will probably take his
own way, and having the Fisheries in
his mind, will appoint some competent
lawyer. Mr.. Chauncy Depew, who had
been fixed upon by general opinion,
and who is said to be The best i'm
promptu speech-maker in a land
where every man can speak, has de-
clined the appointment, and the Pre-
sident is fettered by some sectional
considerations. New York, be is
told, must not have everything, and

Of New York, but her saillngs were
then practically experimental, and
she is now just beginning her hard
work. A sister ship, named the City
of Paris, is being completed at Messrs
Thomson's establishment on the
Clyde, and will start on her first trip
on the 3rd of April. The White
Star Line will add to their feet two
or three months later two vesSels-the
Teutonic ard Majestic. The Red Star
Line are having a steamer built by
Messrs. homsOn =; a new Hamburg
American liner was launched last
week from Messrs. Laird's yard ON
the Mersey, and another is building on
the Continent. Several of the Con-
%tinentaI lines are adding to their
fleets, so that from ten to a dozen
new steamers will be put ON the At
lantic service this year. One of the
most remarkable OF these vessels, if,
indeed, il is not the most noteworthy,
is the city of New York, in view OF
of the amount of complicated machi-
merry she has on board and of the no.
vel conditions under which she has
been tried. Since she ceased her sail
ings in November exaggerated re-
ports have been circulated as TO radi-
cal changes made in the machinery
This is but an indication, however, OF
the great interest taken in the vessel,
and it is therefore Of importance that
authoritative information should be
given on the subject. The great no
veIty in the ship is The fact that the
boilers are worked under forced
draught, and this necessitates many
other innovations. Although boilers
have previously been worked on this
principle for short periods, this is the
first occasion on which it has hern
tried continuously for several days,
and the performances of the vessel
have, therefore, been watched with
interest. The fact that in the last of
the four round voyages she made she
beat the Etruria out and home amid
very stormy weather established the
fact that her speed and seaworthiness
under such canditiOns were excellent
and that the steam-produclng powers
of the ship were sufficient for the
greatest requirements. The builders
have not needed to make any great
changes, as has been stated. The en-
gines have had the complete overhaul
usually given to fast Atlantic steam
ships when laid up for the winter.
Small adjustments which experience
has shown to be desirable have been
made. Those who have had ex-
perlence in high-speed vessels know
how difficult it is to fix upon
The best propeller at the first attempt,
and the City of New York is no ex-
ception. Her stormy weather speed
showed that the steel twin screw pro-
peller could drive her we'll ; but to
secure equally satisfactory results in
fine weather they have been replaced
by new manganese bronze propellers
made of Parsons metal and practical
ly of the same diameter and pitch.
This will result in the surface friction

A NUMBER Of the editors of the
State met in Dover on Monday
to take some action on the pub
hcation of the laws. There is a
deplorable ignorance in the State
in regard to our statutory law !;
nor could it well be otherwise.
They have almost no means of
knowing. The laws are never
published except i'll pamphlet
form, and then mostly a half
year after they are in full force
and effect. These come into the
hands of a very few persons.
The people are amenable to laws
they know nothing about, vet
there is no escape on that ac-
count from their penalties, if they
are violated. Other States have
acted more wisely and given the
people through the common me-
dunn of intelligence, the news
papers, a digest Of the more i'm
portant statutes enacted by the
Legislature. We feel that this
should be the case in Delaware.
particularly when it can be done,
as Is proposed, at a very mod
crate cost.

the same destination, the mouth of

their way up with the advancing

warm spring-like weather has had the
effect of bringing them up the bay
about two weeks earlier than usual.

and in repose, but the picture drawn OF
some of them is such that we would
not like to present to our readers. An
affair of Saturday night, or rather Sun

keener edge on this feeling of repro
baton. We did not ask who the par

know, but there are plenty who do

IT IS very apparent to those
who read the daily papers that
those who have the hardest work
and worry are those in RESPONSE
ble positions, from the President
on down. An idea of the enor-
nous amount of work imposed
upon members of Congress by
Otfice-seekers may be gained
from the fact that one Congress-
man, Gen. Bingham, sent out in
one day 123 letters in answer to
applications from his cOnstit-
uents by his days mail for places
in the government service. This
was exclusive Of the Generals S
regular daily mail relating to
personal and public business out
side Of applications for office.

there was going to be a clean
sweep he said, mo, that large
proportion Of those holding Of
flee in the departments were
there when President Arthur
went out of office, and a great
many applicants for places are
going to be disappointed. This
administration intends to enforce
the civil service rule, that Presi-
dent Harrison is going to require
all Of the department heads to
obey the law strictly. He is
also going to move slowly in
making changes.

New Railroad Schemes.

A despatch from Philadelphia last
week says; " President Maxwell. of
the New Jersey Central Railroad Com
pany, has made an agreement with r.
Ihlelens, of Philadelphia, to develop
the Baltimore and Delaware and
Smyrna and Delaware bay railroads in
connection with the New Jersey Cen.
tral system. These two roads will be
consolidated and re-organized under
the name of the Delaware. New York
and Boston Company. The road runs
from Smyrna to Colchester via Ches.
tertown and on the Chesapeake bav.
and from Smyrna to Bombay Hook on
the Delaware, where a large float

day at o'clock the following morning

Boston via the Poughkeepsie bridge

any schedule now in operation.p
In connection with the above project
It is rumored that the steamer Richard
Stockton will make Bombay Hook its
terminus.
This is simply a revival Of scheme
that has been talked of, on and off for
about 20 years, and abandoned each
time by reason Of the impraeticabilitv
OF making good railroad connections by
crossing the Delaware bay from Bonn
