The Inventor of this Machine now has the pleasure of an swering the numerous inquiries from Cottoo Planters, res pecting the performances and results of this Gin. It has been fully tested by cleaning the entire crop of a large planter near Columbia, S.C., (a certificate from whom is appended,) enhancing the value of the Cotton one and a half to two cents per lb. over that cleaned bv any Saw Gin. This advanced price more than pays for a Machine in one year’* average erop, the cost of it being only $250. It turns out equally as much or more, than any Caw Gin ; is more simple and durable, perfectly safe to the finner, inasmuch a? he cannot cat himself; and the great danger of fire, by frictior. in other Machine* U obviated.

WEEKLY CHROMCII i SENTINEL MISCELLANY. From the National Intolilgeneer. THE LAST JOURNEY OF HENRY CLAY. He poiseth on his way The Mon to Senates dear, The silTer-xoiceU, whom gathered throngs Still held their breath to bear; He bath no warrior’s crown No laurel on bis breast, But Peace her drooping OUre Binds Amid bis stainless crest, He shrank not at his post Till the Spoiler grouped bis hand, And sternly chained the «il»er tongue Whose music charmed the land: ’Mid Summer’s glorious pride. With the tramp of iron steed. He sweepeth on, o’er the realm he toyed— But his closed eye takes no heed. Our cities veiled their heads 1 As through their gates he passed. And tlie mournful voice of tolling bells Wailed out upon the blast: And forth onr noblest came To guard the sacred trust. And weeping woman cost her wreath Upon his honored dust. He passeth on his way In more than kingly state, And silent children press to gate Upon the fallen great: While from the ramparts proud. Where his country’s banner's fly, Tlie booming cannon speak his praise— but he deigneth no reply. There’s sorrow on the wave As the coffined dead they bring— The pausing ships their pennons furl* Like an eagle's kroken wing; And as the rippling streams That precious burden bore, The murmuring rivers tell their grief To every shrouded shore. He passeth on his way, To his own cultured lawn— The shadow of his planted trees That bloom when he it gona— And agonising Love Beholds with stifled moan, A Nation's tear upon the bier, That mingles with her own. Bow down in reverent woe Beside his sable pall. The Friend of Man, who fearless sought The brotherhood of all! Strong in a Saviour’s strength When life’s frail web was riven, The Truth and Peace he loved on earth Made him at home in Heaven. Hartford (Conn.) July, 1852. ui.l. A Corairan Huaband.

Os all these, the estate alone reinaine, and it is evidently to reacquire the ojber two that he has made tlie journey to Paris, in search of the prtftcturs in Corsica. The story is so peculiarly Corsican that it is really worth relat ing: The Count married in 1846 not only one of the richest lici resses, but, moreover, tlie greatest beau ty in the island. For two years the “ happy couple” seemed to live in the enjoymeut of every species of bliss which matrimony never fails to promise its victims before surrender. The Count was all tenderness aud attention—the Countess all devotion and confidence. Nothing occurred to mar their happiness save now nnd then some slight difference or opinion, which would arise, always upon trifling subjects, though between the Count and his younger brother, an officer of dra goons, wiio hud taken up his quarters at the Cha teau d’A during his six months’ leavo of ab sence from his regiment. This slight tendency of disagreement was, however, always soothed with so much grace and tenderness by the Countess that the harmony of the menage could scarcely be said to be disturbed by these accidental false notes, and everything Rent on us smoothly a* over after tho departure of thoyoung dragoon had left tho husband and wife to their solitude onoe more.— Shortly, however, a motive of anxiety manifested itself in the declining health of tlie young wife.— Without apparent cause, her eyes grew dim, her cheek grew pale, her hand tdiook us though Bhe hud been struck with pulsv, aud a short dry cough filled the anxious husband.' with alarm. Uis atten- t tiou, however, redoubled; he never left the pn tieut’s side, aud when, at length, altor every trial had been made to restore her health, she found herself laid ou a sick bed, the Count stirred not from her pillow, admjnistering'every potion with his own hund,und, by soothing discourse and kind words, exerting himselfto smooth the dark pas aage to tho next world, which the doctorsaid must, iu spite of all efforts of skill, ba made ere long.— The dreaded moment at longth arrived, the priast had performed the last kind offices for the pouce departing soul, and then the lovely young Count ess begged to speuk with her husband albne. Ho approached the bedside, overcome with grief.— Sue had wished to thank him beiore she left him forever for all his kindness and unfailing confi dence in her, and to confess with the deepest re gret and humiliation that she had been, notwith standing all his indulgent love, the most deprav ed, tho most miserable of sinners. “ Oh, forgive me 1” exolaimed she; “ I hove been unfaithful to my vows; 1 have loved anoth er; I have descrvod’this early death.” She looked in his face and awaited his answer; it rang in her failing ear—accompanied her spirit iu its flight. “ 1 thought so, love. I was suro it was tlie cost, and, angel of my soul, that ia just why I have poisened you 1” The nurse, who hsd been listening without, hurried at once to the authoriles aud gave her de position. The Count was immediately arrested.— lie remained for more than a year iu prison, but the cause wus never brought to trial, owing to the powerful interest of the great families of the island, to every one of whom h« is in some way related.- Tha only punishment he has recivsd for his crime is ths expulsion from all society wherein the “ new notions,’’ as they are called in Corsica, and tho civilized principles are adopted. It is to re gain his position that he now condescends to sue for a place. YVe find the following anecdote of Mr. Clay, in a late New York paper.

Ref. An Anecdote of Henbt Clat. — A few years since, a friend gave us the following account of a very interesting passage at arms, of which he was an eye-witness, between Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun, when the latter was Vice President, and the presiding officer of tlie Senate, of which Mr. Clay was at the time a member. It occurred during •ue qf the many famous tariff controversies in which tuoy engaged dnring their senatorial careers. Clay had the floor • hit sudienge had becomo a little wearied with the statistical and somewhat eiccous argument he had been pursuing, and failed to bestow the attention to which he was accustom ed, whap he occupied the floor. lie discovered this os soon as any one, but it was not his w»y tp taijc long so an inattentive audience. JJo paused a moment, long ennngh to attract the attention of the senators, while he very deliberate ly drew hi* aauff-hox from his pocket, opened it, took from it daintily a pjpeh, and replaced it in his pocket. He then proceeded, very slowly, as fol lowb : Clay— tnvjfinff —“l was happy to perceive, Mr. J’roaident — in i;if—that in the remarks which have fallen from tlie chair— mvjf — nothing has been said agoir.st tits constitutionality of the tariff,” laying great emphuota pi) the word constitutionali ty, and taking a long siiuff attiie aloea. Calhoun —epeakinj with evtlotnary vehemence — “Jfthe gentleman from Kentucky refere to any thing that has fallen from the chair—the chair beg* to iuforni the gpntlemau from Kentucky that he thinks the tariff degidndly jcnconstitutional.” Clay—“ Alas ! then, sir, lam reminded of what, within these walls, 1 would gladly forget-—the mu tability of all humau opinion. It was in 1616, I think, sir—;t**«s in.lSifl, the chair was the most eloquent champion of principles far different from those it is now pleased to profess.” Cuihoun— much excited —“ Hie chair begs to in form the gentleman from Kentucky that the «>»- etitutionaUiy of the tariff waa aot discussed in 1816.” Clay—’“True,” said Mr. Clav, stretching up to his full height, and raising his void* till it rang through every arch iu thccapitol, at the same time directing his fluty gaze at the Vice-President. True, sir, the “coußiit«thwality_of the tariff was not discussed in 1816, for at that time no states man could be found reckless enough to peril his reputation by disputing it.” *■ Fkincti Railway system.— l extract the follow ing information touching the Hallways of Franee, from a long article in the Mouiteur, setting forth in pompons style the title* *f the actual ‘iovermnent to public admiration for the real and intelligence with which its dictatorial energies have been di rected to this all-important subject.

A correspondent of the Newark Advertiser, writing from the San Antonio M'mes, 150 miles from Caldera, February 25,1852, gives the follow ing account of the silver mines there, which he visited in company with Don Bernado Cadecedo, the owner of them: The mines are vastly different from anything I I liad conceived. For three hours I was led by one of the Csptains of the miners through hori zontal shafts, around vast chambers, along wind ing galleries, down steep drifts, up crooked stair cases, cut in the roek, backwards, forwards, to the right, to the lefL, and in every direction, until 1 became completely bewildered, and should never have been able to'fiud my way out again, had I been kit to my own guidance. Whenever we came to a large chamber, there we were told had been great wealth in silver. In one chamber they told me a million aud a quarter of dollars of silver ore had been taken out. They gave me a sledge and told me to erack off a piece to carry home. One of these days I will send yon the re sult of my knowledge of the use of u big hammer. The loud reports of blasting going on in different parts of the mines were terrific, and the appear auco of the miners, half naked, driving away at the solid stones, was* sight. Tlie natives carry ing out the ores and refuse in hide bags on their back, and up steep crooked shafts three hundred feet deep, gives one an idea of labor only to be found in a place like this. After spending three hours in this great mine, which ba* been worked for twenty-two years, 1 came out at the top of the mountain, having gone in at the base. Taking a few moments to breathe, we com menced the descent of another tniue, belonging to Don Bcruado, which is close to the first, and from which they are now getting much rioh ore ; and when we came out we were tired enough, I assure you. When we arrived we found the cook and steward ofthe establishment drunk and in bed. Tliia being Carnival week most of the natives are enjoying it. Von can imagine the wealth of this mine which is located in a narrow stcop ravine about ouo mile from the river valiey, when I tell you there is a village of some size' at the mouth of the ravine, occupied by peons, and the natives of the country whieli has been built and entirely supported for yean, bv the stealings of persons employed in the mine, t suppose tluit one tenth of rich ore is stolen; there ia not a native miner in Chili who will not steal if he has a chance, and boast of it afterwards. Whan the mines are rich, the owners employ a forman for eaoh miner, to overlook him while mining, but 1 am told that the foremen are as bad as the men; there is no dependenoe to be placed in any of them. The owners Beldom go near the mines, and when they do they rarely go into them. Don Bernado lias owned the mine for eight years, having given for it SIOO,OOO, but has never been into it, except just a few feet at the lower en trance. He owns large shares in many othermines at Chanorcello aud Tres Puntas, auo to ths north nnd the other South of this place, both of which I have promised him to go and see. He wishes me to become an owner in tho mines, aud offerato give me shares in his mines if I will only stsv in tho country; but I telj him I cannot stay, and have no fancy for mining. He gives ms a fiuo speci men of silver ore every tirno I see him. Hiß family live in great style in Lima, aud his possessions are immense. Besides his Peruvian mines and estates be has also two large, handsome houses iu Copia po. one Urge Bilvcr ore mill in Copiapo, two estates in the valley above Copiapo, on each es which there are extensive silver ore mills, aud how many mines he owns in this region I cannot tell; every day I hear of ane w mine which he lias au inter est in. He is s tall, handsome, gentlemanly per son, with an unmistakable air of refinement about him, and is strongly impressed with the idea that no one but hi msel f knows how to make eoli’ce or chocolate, or to boil eggs; be certainly makes the best I ever drank. Some tiase since he sent me a bag of tha celebrated Unga coffee, grown in the interior of Peru ; he tells me he will get another sack of belter coffee, and also a box of the best chocolate for tne, to send home in liis name. He is the kindest hearted and most generally disposed man 1 ever met with; but lie will gamble aud at tend cock-fights, which seems to be the universal custom of the country. In some of the mines they arc cutting out pure silver, from veins six, eight and ten inches thick. At Chanarcello there are, about three hundred mines in auo mountain, which, at a distance, ia said to resemble a huge aut-hili; there are more than three thousand men burrowing ou it all the time, day and night. There is uo water within fifteen miles, and costa six hundred dollars a day to supply the miners with water, and everythiag else iu proportion ; and yet the miners toll me, when the mines are rich they laugh at all expense. Wo have a long rid* to take by moonlight to the place wo came from this morning, forty miles distant; at this plaoe we are about 5,000 feet above 4 he sea ; and the air is vary light and enervating, ’cople in this country eat fruit all day, besides devouring a multitude of meats. Early each morning we take coffee or chocolate ; at 10 A. M. we have breadl'ast commencing with soup, which is called Casonella ; tho rest like our dinners, ex cept dessert. At IP.M. we sit down to a lunch of fruit, embracing all the kinds you have at home, in tlffi greatest abandanee, and very fine, besides all tho different kinds of the torrid zone, by every steamer. You would b* astonished to see the white grapes, which grow iu large and solid bunches; one kind of purple grape, grows as largo as a green gaga, or Bantam’s egg. I have aeon bunches *o large that nc two famished gor mands could eat ono. The price of all fruit is high ; the ground they grow in is all irrigated. It is good to have friends with large gardens. Yours, Ac. _____ W ' £ ‘ Tlie Abuse or Superlatives. As a people, we Americans are certainly very much prone to “ wreck our thoughts upon expres sion,” and indulge in extravagant nnd superlative terms to express common-plac# ideas and aenti ments. This national weakness is well hit ass by the editor ofthe New York Times, who saya: “Professor Upson, in his address before the late Teachors’ Convention at Elmira, uttered a timely rebuke of the universal use of extravagant language. We do nothing by halves, and do not begin to be satisfied when we describe the whole. If we are to believe what we daily hear from vera cious friends, we must conolude that all creation is done up in pocket packages for our use, and that scores of eternities can be crowded into every hour of tho day. In figures we outdo the He brews; in hyperbole w* shame all the Orientals. We describe it moderate hill in language that would fitly treat of Mont Blanc; wo speak of two or three level vacant lots in the citv, in terms fit for a prairie,—of the ripples on a forty feet canal in words that would accommodate the billows of oceans, —of a moderate East wind as a tornado, — of a sudden squall suffioiont to snap a Balm of Gi lead in tho door-yard, as a perfect hurricane. It never rains but it pours; it is never dry but eve rything is parched. A cataract always leaps from u </iazy height ill a profound abyss. A mountain always tou’ers to heaven; a chasm opens into im mea/urable depths. All our autumnal woods are gorgeous ; our landscapes inexpressibly beautiful. “Our wives are never weary but they are tired to death, never warm but they roost, never chilly but they are frozen. If they haveascrateh on the finger their hands are all raw. If they have a pain it is deathly. If there is a spot on onr linen they tell us we are covered witii ink, and a soiled dress is uttely ruined. When a friend goes home with us to try pot luck, if the fire has been ont once, it has been out forty times; if the beef is brown it is burnt to a cinder; if the soup is too savory, it is salt as brine. “This extravagant waste of words bankrupts us, whenever really extraordinary circumstances de mand description. We have no words to describe Niagara with, after we have written of a milldam. The superlatives due to the Mississippi, we have lavished on trout streams. We have exhausted all our terms expressive of valor in telling of the skirmish, aud the main battle literally “beggars description.” Degrees of comparison are obso lete.

Wo want adjectives that applied to cold will make simple ice burn in com parison ; applied to will make common fire cold ; to beauty, will make a rrignt of ypnus.

On Friday afternoon and Saturday morning I produced this discourse.” “I* that possible, Sir!” said Dr. Bouth; “it took me three weeks to write that very sermon.” “Your name is not Dr. South ?” said the rector. “It is, sir,” said Dr. South. “Then,” said the rector, “I have only to say that I am not ashamed to preach Dr. Sonth’s sermons anywhere.” A Fcneral Procession Down East.— the Knick erbocker says: “In alittle village ‘down East,'there once resid ed a fellow who was rather deficient in intellect, and whose sayings have famished more fun than a little to his fellow townsmen and acquaintances.

The following statements are given by a writer in one of the New York oity papers: In the port of New York, in which the imports of brandy are fur greater than in any other in the country, the number of half pipes entered at the Custom House scarcely exceods 16,000 a year, and of quarter casks and eighths inclusive, but little over 85,000 ; yet at least twenty times this amount are sold by the mixers aud jobbers of this city to country dealers, as pure French braudy, “genuine aud imported.” The adulteration is, of courso, effected after the liquors are taken out of bond, and a Custom House certificate for a single half pipe, exhibited to the customer, generally suffices to cover twenty gallons of the spurious to one of the genuine article to which it originally and le gitimately applied. Indeed, it is perfectly notori ous, that comparatively few of the liquor dealers in the oity and elsewhere who call themselves “Importers,” are such in the bona fide, sense of tho term, since they import only such quantities and qualities as suffice to givo a specious shelter aud security to their real business as mixers and job bers ; and instead of being regarded as “import ers,” they should be universally exposed as “im posters,” lest the two words should become synon ymous, 1 have, moreover, conclusively ascertain ed that at least three-fourths of all the foreign brandies imported, are imported expressly for this business ; while the extent to which tho trade of depreciation and adulteration is actually carried, seems to be limited only by the resources of nefa rious inge tuity. That it has long since amounted to the entire substitution of spirituous and poi sonous liquors, containing not ono drop of the genuine, instead of tho mere adulteration of the latter, is well known to every man that has investi gated the subject, and is statistically demonstrable. Wore the practice of adulteration confined to the reduction, iu quality and flavor, of pure and stand ard liquors, by tlie mere addition of water, the im position would be comparatively harmless, both to the consumer and the importer. The consumer would merely be paying a very high price for wa ter, not absolutely injurious to health, however in efficient if relied upon in case of disease; while the importer would have the satisfaction of know ing that the imposition could not bo carried be yond certain tangible limits, appreciable by the sense of taste and smell. But, unhappily, the un scrupulous trado of adulteration takes a much broader and more destructive Bcope. It does not merely defraud the purchaser of money, the pa tient of recovery, and the importer of reputation, but it amounts to nothing less than a traffic in subtle poisons, elaborately manufactured and uni versally dispensed, as refreshing, renovating and cheerful beverages for th* whole ooramnnity. A cask of wine, for instance, whioh my foreign agents have faithfully procured to my order, from the host vintages of Oporto and Madeira; or of bran dy which has been shipped to me by a firm of tlie highest character in France, and which I sell un der tho guarantee of my name and brand, may thus beeomc the vehicle of some ingenious diabol ical concoction of sour claret, logwood, molasses and raw spirit; or Os a still more deadly distilla tion of damaged rye and diseased potatoes, colored aud flavored in imitation of tho true vinous pro ducts which it originally contained. And it is perfectly well known that the purchase of qld brandy, wine, Holland gin, and Scotch whis key casks, particularly of choice brands, with the Custom Houso certificates belonging to them for thepurposoof substituting spurious liquors in them, for sale as those which they originally con tained, is a regular trade iu New York and other seaports notwithstanding a law of Congress ex pressly designed to meet this source of imposition by appropriate penalties. Indeed considerable fortunes have been made by this nefarious prac tice. Empty casks with thebraud of“ASegnette” “P. H. Goddard,” “Otard, Dupuy & C 0.,” and other eminent manufacturers of fine Rochelle and Cogniac brandies, are often eagerly bought at pri ces varying from $6 to $lO each, for this purpose, and are’ watched and booked from place to place until they are obtained. Nor is tliisnll; even tho French willow twigß, that are wound around tho hoops of these casks, are actually imported for the mauufacture of others of the same peculiar appear ance ; and not ouly the manufacturers’, hut tho Custom House brand and that of the importer, are all daringly counterfeited to accomplish the samo object. It’is but a short time since, that the agent of a Seignette in this city, emphatically notified somo of the distillers in this part of tho country of his intention to prosecute them for these frauds and forgeries, unless they were promptly relin quished ; but with what effect is easily imagined. Tho writer goes on to speak of the adulteration of wines, whicn, though perhaps less extensive, ho deems more heartless and cruel, because they oper ate to the injury dx dea' h of the sick, to whom they are administered for their supposed restorative qualities. Port wino in particular, is much pre scribed by physicinus; and yet it is certain that it can seldom be obtained of good quality, except by importers well established in the Oporto trade, or direct from the London docks—tho English mer chants having long monopolised tho best markets of Portugal. The most common of tho almost uni versal dcleterous imitations of Port wino are made from cider or spoiled claret, by means of alum, logwood, elder berries (or red beet-root), oak saw dust, syrup, common whiskey, and bitteralmonds, clarified by gypsum. Some of these are so skil fully done by the help of regular chemical reeipes, as to deceive even reputable wine tasters. Indeed tlio only possible securities for retailers of port wine, aud consequently for consumers, is to buy directly, says Mr. Wolie, of an importer of charac ter. But wo say that this security is inadequate; and that the only safe way is to go and get it, every man for himself, in Portugal; and to abstain from drinking it till you get there. This in fact is our recommendation with respect to other wines, and brandy too. Never touch them except at or near the wine press or the distillery. New England rum is about the only pure liquor that we have, and the Western vintages not enforced by alcoho’, almost the only wine. The best course is, to touch none of them ; the next best, to drink only such as our own native soil produces. In illustration of the consummate art with which the fabricator* of fletitiou* port pursue their de ceptive vocation, it is only necessary to state, tbdt even the red deposite. technically known aa crust, which is left in casks and bottles of this wine, after it has remained undisturbed to an advanced age, and which is principally a bi-tartarate of pot ash, triginally inherent in the grade, is artificially produced, as an evidenoe at onoe or tho genuino character and veritable maturity of tho spurious article. A hot solution of cream of tartar, colored with a strong decoction of logwood, and left to crystalizc for a short time in the casks and bottles, is the only material necessary to the exploit of proving that to be fine old port wine, whicn, but the day previous, was the villanous compound I have described.

Great invention, The East India Company—lu Territory and Trade. The East India Company was incorporated in the year 1600, by Queen Elizabeth. It was formed or purely commercial purposes, although itgradu ■illy became a corporation of consequence, after which it assumed all the functions of the govern ment ot an immense empire, and gradually suro rendered tha operations of trade to individual mer chants, who traded under the shelter of its power. Daring the first hundred and fifty years of the company’s existence, it retained its commercial character, only combining with it so much of war like enterprise and precaution as was necessary to secure its richly laden ships from being plundered by the fleets of pirates which infested the Indian seas, and the factories from being burnt or pillag ed, in tlie never ending wars and rebellious iniongst the native chiefs. In the year 1616, the oouipany confined its operations on the continent of India to “mat and Amedavad, in the dominions of the Great Mogul; to Calicut, on the Malabar, or western coast of India ; and to Masulipiton, on the Coromandel, or eastern coast. In 1688 the company first established itself at Madras, or Madraspatum. It formed this settlement at the request of the Nuig, or native chief, who offered, if the English would settle in that district, to erect a fort for them at his own cost, and to exempt them from all customs of trade. So much importance was attached to this position, that the ugents of the company at once consented, and built a fort at the expense of tho company, to which they gave the name of Fort St. George, the town of Madras retaining its original name. Iu 1658, Fort St, George was raised to the rank of a presidency; and in 1667 it waa incorporated by a roval charter, granted by King Charles 11. The island of Bom bay was ceded to King Charles 11. as part of the dowry of the Infanta Catherine, on tbo occasion of her marriage with that sovereign. In 1687, it was made a preaidenoy, and tho chief seat of the British Government in India; all other settlements • being declared subordinate to it. At the close of the Bame century, the English, French, and Dutch had trading settlements in tho rich provinces of Bengal, on the banks of the Hoogly, one of the branches of the mighty Ganges. The English set tlement was at Calcutta, then a mere village ; the French ot Chandernagoro ; and the Dutch at Chi n aurah. About that time tho rajahs of the sur rounding provinces rose in rebellion against the Grand Mogul, and plundered the towns of the nabob of Bengal, ou which the English, French, and Dutch hastily fortified their factories, for their own defence. In the course of the year 1698, a grandson ofthe Emperor Aurengzece, who had , been sent to suppress the rebellion, gave permis sion to the English to purcliaso the villages of Soota Nutta, Calcutta, and Govindpore, on which ground tlie city of Calcutta now stands. A fort was ordered to be built, which was named Fort William, in honor of the reigning king, William 111. Calcutta was raised to the rank of a presiden cy in the year 1715. Such was the origin of the presidencies of Calcutta, Madras and Bombay, each of them now a great empire in population nnd wealth, and the seat of a large and rapidly in creasing trade with England. In tho year 1698, the East India Company gave the following ac count of their possessions, in a petition winch they addressed to Parliament, in tne hope of saving themselves from tlie opposition of a rival com pany “Your petitioners,” they eaid, “hnvo a revenue at Fort St. George (Madras) and Bombay of about £BO,OOO a year ;’ another at Fort St. David's of about £6,000 per annum, which reven ues are daily increasing, and largo extent of lands in both places ; have about £B,OOO a year paid them by the Persian, and the perpetual inheri tance of Bombay and St. Helena, by several grants from the Crown of England ; have likewise divers forts, settlements and territories in the island of Su i atra, without which the pepper trado would be entirely lost to this nation ; have also a strong fortification in and several other factories, some of them fortified buildings, settlements, privileges and immunities, in mnnv places within tlie limits of the trade ; all of which are their abso lute property, aud have cost them immense sums of money for the purchase and grants from Indian princes and others, aud for the strengthening and other expenses thereof.” Such was the East India Company ninety-five years after its formation. In apite of tho petitiou quoted above, a second company was formed in 1698 ; but this new com pany, being greatly wanting in experience, soon found it prudent to amalgamate with the old one. The company, thus strengthened, took the title oi “The Uuitod Company or Merchants of England, Trading to tho East Indies.” The company con sisted of all persons holding a share in its capital stock, which then amounted to £2,000,000. Every shareholder, male or fomalo, possessing £SOO stock was entitled to vote and take part in discussions at the meetings of proprietors, who were termed, when duly assembled, a “genoral court of pro prietors." The directors were twenty-four in number, and each was required to possess £2OOO stock iu the company. Thirteen members formed a quorum, and when assembled for business, were termed a “court of directors.” A committee was to be chosen to frame bye-laws for tlie government of the company, which laws were to have the samo force os those framed by Parliament, when not opposed to any existingact.’ The company, thus constituted, confined itself chiefly totrading opera tions, until near the middle of the eighteenth cen tury, when tlie wars between England and Franoo extended to their settlements in Indio, and to all the native chiefs whom they could draw into their quarrels. In the year 1746, the year in which Charles Ed ward Stuart failed in his invasion of England, the French who had fortified Pondicherry, captured the city of Madras, and Fort St. George, inflicted a loss of nearly £200,u00 on tho East India Com pany, aud succeeded in retaining their conquest till the close of the war, in 1748, when they agreed to givo it up by the treaty of Aix-la-Cbapelle. Four years before the taking of Madras, Kobt. Clive, the founder of the British greatness in India, went ont to India as a writer ; but no sooner bad war taken the plaoe of peace than he changed the desk for the field of battle, and, in the year 1747, had become so promising an officer, that the court, writing to the governor of Madras strongly recom mended him to encourage Ensign Clive in his martiul pursuits. Tho war scarcely ceased in In dia, for the French backed one candidate for the nabobship of the Curnatic, the English another. It was in the course of these conflicts that Clive gave the most extraordinary evidence of courage and military capacity, especially by his capture and subsequent defence of the city of Arcot, with a small band of men against au immense army ot natives, led by French officers. Iu the middle of the year 1756 open war again broke out between England and France, and, at the same time tlie company’s settlements in Bengal, were suddenly attacked by the nabob Saraja-ud-Doulah, who captured Calcutta and Fort William, and thrust Mr. Howell, the governor of the fort, aud his com panions, into a miserable room, since known ns •the “black hole of Calcutta,” where 124 out oi 146 perished from heat, thirst, and suffocation, in a single night. Clive was immediately despatched to punish this outrage, and recover Calcutta and Fort William. After defeating the rajah’s genera], he attacked and captured Fort William on the 2d of January, 1757. On the 8d of March, in the same year, Clive captured the French fort ot Chandernagoro ; and, on the 13th of June following, the Bame daring leader, with 1000 Europeans, 2000 sepoys, and eight pieces of cannon, defeated the army of tlie nabob, 50,000 strong, and supplied with 50 guns. Tliis, and a succession of victories, soon placed tne finest provinces ou the Ganges in the handß bf Clive. Colonel Coote was scarcely less sncccessfu! in tho Madras presidency aud the neighboring provinces, in which the French, after fighting with their usual courage, were totally defeated. After a desperate defence of eight months, in which the French garrison suffered much from disease, Pondicherry surrendered to Col. Coote, on tjyo 17th of January, 1761. The general reanlt of these and other conflicts, carried on in India between the years 1757 and 1765, was to give to the East India Company possession of upwards of 160,000 square miles of tho richest territory in India, watered by the innumberable branches and tribu taries of the Ganges and other great rivers, pro ducing every variety of tropical produce, cultiva ted by nearly forty millions of peaceful and in dustrious inhabitants, yielding a reveuue several millions a year, and capable of ootid ucting and sustaining an enormous commerce.—RaineNHis tory of Liverpool, Section 8.

The Literary Gazette contains tho subjoined ar ticle on this subject, occasioned by the recent publication of an aunoymous pamphlet thereon : This is a brief and lucid account of a most im portant subject, which has been strangely ne glected. It proved many years ago, that ag- cat addition might be made to the quantity and quali ty of our food, by taking advantage of the phys iology of fishes, and that our rivers, lakes, und ponds might become the source of considerable emolument, by a proper attention to this branch of domestic economy. The ancient Greeks and Romans were evidently possessed of somo method of breeding fish artificially; it is related that Octavus bred “giltheads” in the sea, “like corn upon tho ground.” Within our own time, several highly successful experiments have been made, proving that fish may be produced in the greatest abun dance, and even transplanted from distant coun tries. Thus the gormany of tho Indian continent, a delicious fresh-water fish, has beon introduced with the greatest succoss by the Fronoli into tho Mauritius, and wo may also cite the gold and silver fish of China, which have been naturalized both in England and in many parts of Europe. Professor Agassiz, who has paid much attention to the artificial production of fish, declared some years ago, that tho ova of all fish, when properly impregnated, can bo convoyed across the Atlantic as safely as if it were naturally deposited by tfio parent fish, so that any quantity of salmon or rather spawn can (after impregnation) be carriod to other streams, however distant. And sir F. Mackenzie, of Connuu, Ros-shiro, in a paper pub lished in 1841, details experiments which he made in 1840, for breeding Bulmon and other fish artifi cially, which were attended with such remarkable success, that it is surprising they were not followed up on a largo scale. It appears, according to the present publication, that about tho same time as the date of the above experiments, the diminution in the numbor of fresh-water fish in France aroused the serious attention of two humble fishermen, named Gelllu and Remy, living in tho obscure village of La Bresse, in the department of tho Vosges, in France. Thoy do not seem to have been uwaro of the labors of scientific ichthyolo gists, and, utterly ignorant of tho nature of pre vious experiments, hit upon precisely tho same method of artificially producing fish as had been discovered by Sir i'rancis Mackenzie. Tho first experiment was crownod with extraordinary suc cess. This was in 1851, only ono year after"those of the Scottish baronet. In 1842, 1848, and 1844 they again repeuted their experiments, and in each case in the most triumphant manner. In the latter year they were rewarded by receiving a medal and a sum of money from tho Socicte d’Emalation des Vosges, and in the courso of a short time succeeded in stocking tho waters of that part of France where they resided with “ millions of trout.” At the end of a few years their operations became of such magnitude and importance, as to com mand the attention of the Frcnoh Government. — Gehin and Kctny were accordingly summoned to Paris, and taken at once into the "employment of the state, at good salaries ; their duties being first, to stock with fish, by theirsystem, such rivers as should be pointed out to them, and, next, to teach that system to the peasantry. Honors now flowed in upon them, for we are told that “they were treated as men who have made a groat scientific discovery, and secured an immense benefit to their country. Many means vied with each other in do ing them honor, and tho President of tho Repub lic and his ministers mode them dine at their ta bles, and figure at their receptions. A commis sion, consisting of distinguished scientific men, was appointed to superintend their operations.” The prodigious success of their labors may be esti mated from an official report made to the Acade my of Sciences in 1849, by which it appears that they had formed a piece of water, in which they had between Jive and six millions of trout, aged from one to three yoarß, and the production of that year was expected to increase that vast number by several hundred thousand. Siuoe Gehin and Remy have been taken into the service of the French Go vernment they have Btocked Btrcnms and rivors in several departments of France, and have created abundance of good food where the greatest scarcity prevailed. The shilling pamphlet before us details, in a clear and comprehensive manner, tba modus ona randi of these self-taught ichthyologists, Their system is applicable to every description of frcßh water-fish, and has been tried in France with suc cessful results on salmon, trout, carp, pike, and perch. We are confidont that, when these factß are known, our country geptljipep will pay fully as much attention to thgir waters as their lands ; and “Pisqarityt” deserves our best thanks for his publication. It demonstrates that an im mense addition may be made to tho people’s (bod with scarcely any expenßo, and describes clearly how this good may be effected, Effect of Railroads on Commercial Cities, Mr. Poor of the American Railroad Journal, in a brief editorial, gives a most striking us well as cor rect illustration of the effect of railroads in enlarging the circle of business of cities, as follows: The City of New York is now accessible from overy part of New England (with tho exception of the eaiteru part of Maine) and the State of New York by ono day’s joumoy on railroads. A travel er may leave Watarville, (Me.; which is 430 miles distant from New York; Montreal, Canada, which is 400; and Dunkirk and Buffalo, which arc about 470; in the morning, and reach the city the same evening by continuous lines of railroad, at an aver age charge of two cents per milo. Light artiolcs of freight, newspapers, &c., are forwarded to, and re ceived from the eamc points with equal dispatch— ao that the aix millions of people residing within the States named, are within one days’ time of this city. And in the evening, the most remote ports of It are, in the ordinary course of the mail, put in to possession of our morning news; and, on the other hand, our shops and the stands in our mar kets display the delicacies and dainties whioh the morning light shone upon somo 4QO miles distant. The whole country within this distance, by means of railroads, ia made tho market garden of the city, and every inhabitant is brought into as inti mate relation to it, as was the person wh/x lived within 80 miles a lew years since. A trip of a day is now sufficient to bring nearly every inhabitant of i New Yorkand New England to this city, and who mav, if they choose, return homo the next. 1 Tliese facta will serve to show the influence that ' railroads are exerting, in the facilities they give in | the movement of persons and property. To a city , they inorease the area of country tributary to it in i a mnch greater ratio than the length ot their lines. To give a clearer idea, we will briefly Illustrate this I proposition. Wo will assume that the speed of the 1 ordinary loaded team on common roads is 2>£ miles : per hour, for 12 hours, which will give 80 miles as the extent of a day’s travel, and 80 miles as the di ameter of the circle from whioh a city without rail roads could draw its dailv supplies of food, This would give an area of country of not far from [ 2,700 square miles, , The freight train on a railroad moves at an ave i rage rate of 12 miles an hoar, or 288 miles in 24 » hours. The cirglo in daily reueh of a oity by i freight trains on railroads would be 576 miles, em -1 bracing an area of 12,410 square miles, or more | than 46 times greater than the circle within reach ; of the same point by the ordinary wagon! By the l use of railroads, therefore, a oity luoreasca its capa -1 city lor business, aa well as its supp ,ies of food, and > all the articles used in the economy of life, 4,600 ' per cent! > 1 It will be found upon calculation that thediffer -1 ence in cost of ihe two modes or carriage supposed, 1 is in about the same ratio as the above distances. ' The above statements are a most striking, as well as correct illustration, of the valneof railroads,and demonstrative most clearly their importance in in creasing the business of oommerciul, or trading points, and proves how necessary they are to farm ing communities, in creating a value for their pro ducts, in opeuing a market for them. They explain the rapid growth ofoities, that are Ihe termini of a large number of railroads and the rapid apprecia tion in the value of the country they traverse. With an erdinary road, a farmer living sixty miles from a city may be without a market For many of his most important articles of produce from the cost of transportation, while another living npon a railroad but 400 miles from the same point, finds a ready sale for aiJ he can raise at remunerating rates.

It pro vided for the sale for mechanical and medical pur poses, in every town, village or ward of a city, by an appropriate agent under bonds, I 'but most etrict ly guarded against any sale for other purposes. V\ ith due regard to tne interests of individuals engaged in the traffic, opportunity was given for 1 all such as had liquors in possession to dispose ol them bv scbding them front the State, or appro priating them to purposes within the provisions of | tlie law. Tho opportunity wus improvod, and a genoral preparation was made in tho eities and 1 towns of tho Stato for entire acquiescence with the 1 demands of tho law. A few. howevor, retained their liquors, which, as thev should be discovered, became exposed to destruction. The first seizure and confiscation was by the ordcrof the Mayor ol Bangor, and on the morning of tho Fourth of July tho City Marshal rolled out from the basement of the City Hall ten casks of liquor, whioh had boon confiscated, and destroyed tho whole. Soon afior, Mr. Dow, himself, then Mayor of Portland—a city where great wealth had been accumulated in the trade—issued his March warrant on accredited suspicion of sale, and seized and destroyed to the value of two thousand dollars. Tho destruction in both coses was witnessed by a concourse of citizens in respectful silence. Other seizures fol lowed in many ot the citios aud towns of the State, ■nd generally without any serious opposition. Liquors brought secretly into tlie Stato, under various pretences, soon fell into tlie hsuds of tbe marsiials and sheriffs, und met their logal condem nation. In a short time tho law boenme the sot tied policy of the State, audits workings were of tlie happiest character. Tippling-ahops and bar rooms were almost universally closed. Drunken ness was banished from the streets. Temptation was removed from the young. Crime and pau perism were reduced 50 nnd 75 per cent. Police officers were scaroo needed, but for tbe enforcement of the law. Old inebriates became, of necessity, reformed men, rejoicing in their deliveraueo. Plenty and peace wore carried to hundreds of abused and starving families, and two millions of dollars annually wasted on un artificial and dan gerous appetite, began to flow in new channels for the improvement of farms and dwellings, manu factures, schools and churohe*.

At tho present time thore are no place* where such liquors are sold openly, and only a very few whore they J are sold at all, and that with groat caution nnd sc crecy, and only to those who are personally known 1 to the keepers, mid who can be roliod upon not to ‘ betray them to tho authorities. “ The results ofthe law so tar have been more 1 salutary trad decisive than its most ardent friends line! reason to anticipate. “lam assured Jfty tho memhers of tlie police and watch that they now have little to do; while, be fore the enactment of the law against tippling shops, their numbers wero insufficient to preserve entirely the quiet and peuce of the city from the numerous persons to be found in our streets at all times of night, more or less excited by strong drink.” In his second report, January 15,1852, ho said: “ I think it is not an exaggeration to say that the quantity of intoxicating liquors now sold in thiß city, except by the city agent, is not one fif teoth nurt so great os it was seven months ago, and the salutary effects of this groat improvement are apparent among tho peoplo of all parts of tho city. Tkenmountofliquors oonsnmed in the State, I think, is not one quarter so great as it was seven mouths ago, and it will become losb very rapidly, os the people in tho country towns are now en forcing the law more extonsivoly and vigorously every day; from many towns in theStato the ille gal traffic is entirely banished.” And in his annual report he assured the City Government that there was no necessity of build ing either a now almshouse, at an expense of fifty thousand dollars, or a new jail, as had been con templated and thought indispensable. Tho com mitments in a period of eight months, from June 1, 1850, to March, 1851, and from Juno, 1851, to March, 1852, to tho almshouse, had sunk from 252 to 141 : to the House of Correction, for intem perance, from 46 to 10; for larceny, from 12 to 8; to the common jail, for drunkenness, larceny, Ac., from 279 to 68; and to tho watch-house, from 481 to 180. The sum saved which would havo been wasted at tho dram-shops ho estimates as sufficient to purchase 40,000 barrels of flour at |5 each, or about tivo barrels of flour and live cords of wood to every family in the city, estimating the number of families at 4,000. In the citicß of Ban gor, Augusta, Bath, and other places throughout tho State, tho liko moral and physical ohangos were at oneo visible. Quietness pervaded their streets. Poorhouses and jails became almost tenantless. Tho timid gavo up their fears. Men of intelligence once opposed to the law became, on its execution, its warm udvocates and frionds. The vendors quietly acquiesced in tho predomi nant sentiment that their business was a curse, and either left tho State or retired to other business for the support of their families. Greeks at llomis.— John Randolph was once so licited by a lady, who was more famous for her bencvolenco than for her domestic ncutnoss, to givo something to the suffering Greeks. “ The Greeks, madam," Baid he, pointing to her dirty children, “ are at your won door.” Wo have been reminded of this inoident, while reading an account of tho ignorant costermongers of London. Their business is to sell fish, fruits, &0., in the streets. They are vory poor, very dir ty and very wicked. Mr. Mayhew, an English writer, who has given us a great deal of statistic cal information in regard to them, declares that there are no loss tliun thirty thousand in the very heart *f London, “ who have no deoent knowledge of Jesus Christ and of tho Bible.” They lodge in bat-haunted places and dark cornors, and when they obtuin one meal, they are ignorant of the seouroe from which they-nre to obtain tho next.— “ Who was Jesus Christ f”ask. d Mr. M. of one of them. ‘‘l believe he was a goodish sort of a man," was the reply, “ I’ve heard toll of him, but I dont ’Zaetly know whero he lived.” Mr. M. explained to him that he was tho Saviour of tho world, and especially he told him of the new commandment that ho gave his disciples, viz : thou slialt love one another. The costermonger re plied— “lf ho says as how when a cove insults a feller, he’s not to knock him down, I should say he knowed nothing about it.” This is fair specimen of their theological know ledge, and their geographical is not much better. “Not one out of a hundred of this whole class,” says Mr. Bertlett, (who also visited them, and took pains to converse with them,! “knqw that there is such a country us America j and those who do, have no rational idea of it.' 1 One man said that lie didn't know whore the sea was, but hegucßß?d Vhftt the fishmongers Kept it for the pvifpyjs# of growing fish in U.

Fact vs. Fiction, —Tho satisfaction with which Pliuly and other writers describe the most impro bable marvels, says Bentley’s Miscellany for July, and the coquetry they show in admitting the trnth of other things which are really facts reminds us of a certain elderly lady whe, dearly loving a dish of chat, never lost an opportunity of partaking of this luxury. Bitting on a bench on the esplanade at Weymouth, warming her feet m the sun, she addressed a rough looking old tar who was loung ing near, and alter asking his age, whether le had fought under Nelson, if he w»s married, the num ber of his ohildren, and whether they had been vaooinated, she proceeded to generalites. “You must have seen some wonderful things in your travels, Mister Bailor 1” “Yea marm. I’ve seed a few.” “I suppose you are familiar with the wonders of the deep!” The old boy looked at her, as if taking the mea sure of her faith, turned his quid and replied— “l bo-lieva von, marm. Why I’ve knowed it Wow so hard that it blew the very teeth out of a handsaw, and I have seed fishes as big—ay, as big from here to that ’ere flagstaff” (rather more than a quarter of a mile.) “Hear me t Have you, indeed ? I suppose those are the leviathans that Solomon—no, Havid—men tions. And, pray, what do these monsters leed upon t” “Why, little fishes to be sure marm.” “But do they eat them raw!” The sailor gave a slight cough, hitched up his waistband, and replied— “ Raw, marm I No ; evory tenth big fish carries a kettle on his tail to bile era in.” “La! Ho they, indeed) And now tell me what else you’ve seen!” “Why, I’ve seed oysters s-growin’ on trees” (sl luding to the mangrove trees in India, which dip their brandies deep into the water, and are cover ed with shell-fish in consequence; presenting a singular appearance when left bare by the ebbing of the tide) Up got the old lady, gave a flourish with her parasol and a toss of her bead, as she with an in jured air replied— 4 “Well Mister Bailor! I suppose yon take me for a fool; but it is not very civil ofyou, I think to attempt to impose on me in that manner. I wish you good morning, sir I” and away she eailed with virtuous indignation. Good Nature. —Good Dature is a gem which shines brightly wherever it is found. It cheers the darkness of misfortune, and warms the heart that is oullous and cold. In social life who has not seen and felt its influence f Don’t let matters ruffle you. Nobody gains anything by being cross and crabbed. If a fnend has injured you; it the world goes hard ; if yon want employment and oan’t get it; or can't get your honest docs ; or fire has consumed, or water swallowed up tho fruits of many years’ hard toil; or your faults magnified, or enemies have traduced, or friends deceived, never mind ; don’t get mad with anybody; don't abuse the world or any of its creatures; keep good naturod and our word for it, all things will come right. The soft south wind and the genial sun are not more effectual in clothing the earth with ver dure and sweet flowers of spring, than is good nature in adorning the heart of men and women with blosoms of kindness, happiness aud affec tion—those flowers the fragrance of which ascend to Heaven. A Huvbcq.—We warn our brethren of the press to look out for a worthless scamp, calling himself “Professor Wells,” and pretending i* give “Scien tific Lectures” on Electrical Psychology.” He is about five feet eight inches in bight, tolerably well dressed, with black hair and eyes, and a dog gish expression of the pbiz. We understand he delivered a lecture at Stone Mountain, a few days since, and at the close delivered back the money to the audience, to avoid a jaunt upon a rail, lu Atlanta, be flourished about, several days, with handbills and advertisements and finally sloped, leaving his printer’s bill and we dont’t know how many more unpaid—seoreting himself id a bag gage car of the Macon A We» tern Railroad to en sure an unobserved exit from the city.

The aspect of public feeling in the United Btates, respecting the British encroachment in the Fisheries, lias awaken ed much attention among all shades of politicians. The general opinion ot the pres* is in favor of the English reading of the treaty, but the Govern ment is blamed by many of the leading Journals for using the show of force without due previous notice; at the same time, it is stated that tlie nine teen ships, of which a list is given in the Colonial papers, are not more than tlie usual fleet on the British American and West India Station, while one of tlie vessels, tho Jane, mentioned as sent to the scone of difficulty, is in fact being paid off at Woolwich. The npprehonded trouble has caused considerable feeling, and with otlior circumstances, has ha l a depressing effect on the funds. No particular significance was attributed to the noto of Mr. Webster respoetiug tlie fishing rights, the matter waa considered susceptible of un easy a* an amicable adjustment. The Daily News winds up an artielo on the subject, by almost ao eusing the Derby Government, of wishing to fo ment war abroad, for tho purpose of stopping pro gress at homo. Tho Times hints that Mr. Web ster may, perhaps, be courting popularity, but blame tlie British Foreign Seoretary for socliing to protect tlie trade by bounties, at the same time si ding witUthe British Government’s interpreta tion of the treaty. The genoral Election having boen brought to a close throughout the United Kingdom, tliero was a complete lull in party and political excitement. Each section of politicians was quietly counting its strength and marshalling its forces for the ap proaching parlimcntary struggle in October.— Thor* seemed to be an idea that any Government woid'd be impossible, according to tho constitution of tJno now Parliament, ns in it neither Lord Derby or Lord John Russel would bo üblo to command a sufficient majority to establish a strong Govern ment.

Notwithstanding the accounts that the potato rot had appeared in Ireland, it can only bo regard ed as partial, and at least counterbalanced by, the abundance of tho sound crop. The London Standard Buys : “If we are not misinformed the maritime powers will bo invited by England and France to consider tho situation of Moxico, with a view to establish lior indepen dence, both financially and politically, so that a barrior may bo established to tho aggressive spirit of America iu the South.” The Liverpool agent of the New York Press learns from Omstoad, wlienco it was telegraphed from the Hague, that tho Belgian States General had doeidod to reject tho commercial treaty with France. Kossuth was living in great privacy in London, and attracted no publio observation or attention whatovor. He is completely extinguished.

Banian and American Y’aohtb.— The America and the Mosquito yuchts are entered for prizes on both days of tho Plymouth regatta—to-din und to morrow (Thursday.) It is not generally known that the Mosquito, now tho property of Loi.des borougli, wus built in about three weeks, by Mr. Mare, M. I’., fer Plymouth, tho gontlemun who sout a challenge to the New York club to build a yacht uguinst them for slouo guineas. The cau tious and laconic reply to this challenge, it will bo remembered, was to tho effect that there was already an American built yacht in Briiish waters, ami when she hud been hoaton by an Eugliah vessel it would bo tiino enough to take the chal lenge.

They were rotten. The Fisheries.— I There is little importance to he attached to the reports of another and yet another “Americrn vessel seized.” Tho real question of moment is, “What ura thoy seized for?" Tho vcbscls ot any nation are liable to bo seized, if they are found trespassing in violation of known and recognized treaties. A nation commits no offence 1 in “seizing” under suoti oiroumstunoes, but in 1 reality does the world service in asserting and maintaining tho inviolability of treaties. She sets 1 rightly and for tho good of nations, j ust as the citi > zens who maintain civil und local laws, and reports • or arresta offenders, acts for th* good of society I and the conserving of pence and order. Neither ■ does the number of seizures att'eet till right or t wroag of the matter. If but flvt vessels trespass, five only are seized; if filly, tho seizures are fifty. 1 As wo tiave said, the real issue is the enuu of seizure. If, tuking these fishery seizures for our illlustration, the vessel were not within three mile* r of the coast, then the seizures are illegal, in viola tion of American rights under treaty, aud must be ■ atoned for; but if, on the other hand, the vessels - were within a marine league of th« shore, then the t seizures are perfectly proper, and it is scarcely less 1 tli«utorest, and no less the duty, of the Goveru t tnentofthc United States than it is of that of Great 1 Britain that they should bo punished accordingly. Aud inasmuch as the owners of those vessel* » which have been seizod and libelled have submit - ted to confiscation without attempting sdeteuco 1 have indeed admitted that the vessels were justly seized—in common fairness we are bound to inter that tho other seizures may have been equallyjust and equally made for cause. When there is un » disputed, authentic evidence that the American vessels has boen wrongfully seized and condeimi s od—or that wilful wrong has been done to the United States by even seizures only—England will t bo promptly required to mako ample atonement It is the motto of this Government, as we trust it - ever will be, tods no wrong and to submit to ru,ne > N. Y. Com. Ado. 1 Seizures or American VE*Bisw.-In eommentfo* : on Ihuri*d«y last upon tho Glonter lie raid’s ac count of seizure* of American fishing ve> sels by the English national steamer Devastation, we re marked that tho statement was evidently ex part* and written under excitement. We have hcaid the other side from a reliable source, and it put* a different version upon the matter. The Devasta tion entered into Bay Chaleur, und found a large number of American vessels actually fishing at the distance of about a mile from the shore. Tho captain of the Devastation told them they must leave, and that be must seize one of their number in assertion of his Government's right to punish trespass. We are not permitted to toll the who’# story, which would prove the commander of tie Devastation to be a “clever follow” in tho fulhst sense of the term. Sulfie ■it to say that he did Ict take the richest prize that ho might havo fouhd. In reference to the Coral, which was seized and" , condemned, we learn that she was manned by Engliabme from Capo Manahan, who carried on the fraud of obtaining bounty and evading duty by carrying American colors, and employing rn American vessel in charter. They prelorrcfl to let the seizure go by default.— N. Y. Com. Ado. The Flores Expedition.— The bucan'.,erinff ex pedition of Gen.
