The Union makes some extracts from a re- cent debate in the British Parliament, a8 also from an article of the Paris Patric, to show that the suppression of the slave trade is not the only reason for the immense expenditure of Great Britain to keep a fleet upon the coast of Africa; but that she trusts by that means to maintain @ commercial supremacy in that quarter of the lobe. = Onton, also, notices an article in the Richmond Whig, relative to the expenses of collecting the revenue; and concurs in the uni- versal expression of satisfaction at the igno- minious defeat of the junior Blair. The Union further says that “ the results of the elections in Kansas jeave no doubt of the refusal of the people to be admitted into the Union on the terms proposed in the Conference Bill of the last session,”’ and continues: ee is not surprising, the excitement of the past having subsided, ‘bet they should feel disinclined to put on the babiliments of State, and incur, at & moment of pecuniary pressure, the largely- increased expenses of an establishment of their own. This result we do not regret. There is no longer any reason for treating Kansas as ex- ceptional to the general rule prevailing in reference to the admission of new States into the Union.” The Intelligencer is, to-day, without edi- torial. > An arrival at Newburyport brings inteili- gence confirming the reported ill-success of the mackerel fishing fleet. (> According to the Savannah Georgian, the terms of settlement between Col. Blount and **Count’’ Reviere are to the effect that Miss Blount is to remain with her parents until the Count succeeds in removing certain disabilities under which he is now laboring, after which he isto become the lawful partner of her joys and sorrows. CasLz Resoicincs.—The mayor of New York yesterday sent a message te the city councils, recommending the extension of the hospitality of the city to all connected with the Atlantic tele- graphic cable expediiion ; that the citizens be requested to illuminate their dwellings and places of business, and that the public buildings be il- luminated on the evening of the day of the gene- ral celebration. Resolutions were adopted by the city councils tendering thanks and offering a municipal din- ner to all concerned in the enterprise; providing for an iliamination of the City Hall, and request- ing Cyrus W. Field, Esq., to sit for his portrait, ta be placed iu the Governor’s room in the City Hail. In Philadelphia, last night, the American tele- graph office was brilliantly illuminated ia honor of the laying of the cable U7 Thenewly formed government of Canada is as follows: Premier, Hon. Mr. Cartier; Attor- ney General for the East, Hon. John A. McDon- ald; Attorney General for the West, Hon. Mr Galt; Inspector General, Mr. Alleyn; Provincia! Secretary, Mr. Bellean ; Speaker of the Legisla- tive Council, Mr. Sicotte ; Commissioner of the Public Works, Mr. Rose ; Solicitor General for the East, Mr. Ross; President of the Council, Mr. Van Kobnet ; Commissioner of the Crown Lands, Mr. Smith; Postmaster General, Mr. Sherwood ; Receiver General, Mr. Alithone. With the exception of Messrs. Galt, Belleau, and Sherwood, all the foregoing were members of the late McDonald Administration. When members of the Canadian Parliament take office in the Cabinet, they must resign their seats. This the ten or twelve members did who accepted place inthe Brown Ministry. As that ministry lived but a day or two, those who com- Posed it find themselves at once out of the Cabi- net and out of Parliament. Goovricu’s Last —We are indebted to the Publishers, who send us, through the hands of our enterprising fellow-citizens, Blanchard & Mobun, booksellers, tor a copy of ‘‘Man upon the Sea,’ or a history of Maritime Adventure, Exploration and Discovery, by Frank B. Good rich, autbor of the Letters of Dick Tinto, The Court of Napoleon, &c_, with numerous jliustra- tions, by Van Ingen & Snyder. Philadelphia: Published by J B. Lippincott & Co.; 1558. It is well printed and capitally illustrated oc- tavo volume of some five hundred and fifty pages, which in its mechanica! department retiects no little credit on the skill of both printer and engi- meer. Its contents, however, are of more im- Portance and interest to the general reader. Of them we bave to say that they embrace a concise and succinct history of the rise and Progress of Maritime navigation from tbe earliest times in which the legends of the Ancients pretend to Preserve the accounts of bold men, who ventured beyond sight of the shore, down to the efforts to lay the Atlantic telegraphic cable. The author has selected points which will not only serve to instruct nearly all of all ages, but Greatly to entertain all readers; and he has so weaved them !nto a continuous story of the pro- gress of the art of navigation as to make his work valeable as 4 substantial book of reference, whgther the student desires to learn how the Greeks managed their ships when 4rst venturing beyond the Pillars of Hercules, or to verify the remarkable facts or legends connected with their voyages, preserved in history; or how the wild and crue! adventures of the buccaneers of the Spanish main served to lay the foundation for much of the commendable commerce of this late day ; or how the trafficking of the Portuguese in the Indian ocean, the daring exploits of Captain Cook in the South Sea, the successful experiment of navigating the ocean by steam, the explora- tions in the Arctic ocean by our own lamented Kane and his European predecessors, &ec.,&e., were severally conducted, and what transpired in connection with each,worthy of being remem- bered by after ages. Mr. Goodrich is an agreeable writer. He avoids a multiplicity of words, driving always directly at bis point, and therefore not datiguing bis readers. On the whole, the publication of this work is ®rubstantial adulition to the standard literature of the times, that czn hardly fail to be amply repaid by the public of both hemispheres read- ing the English language. . —<—_—___.

They all chronicle it as a catastrophe to “ the cause of freedom;”’ and all that sort of thing. Thus they prove the truth of our recent declaration that they were totally unprepared for it. Of course, they strive to conceal from public ob- servation the striking political fact involved in it—the fact that it demonstrates an opposition loss, rather than the opposition gain in the next Congress they have of late been so industriously heralding in advance. The New York Evening Post takes it, perhaps, hardest of them all— rating the Ameriean party of St. Louis round- ly for preferring the election of an Administra- tion pro-Lecompton Democrat to that of an Abolitionist. The Post, however, sings the “‘sour-grapes”’ ditty, finally, pretending to re- joice that Blair, Jr., has permission to stay at home, where his service wil! do much more for their cause than he can possibly effect in the Federal Metropolis. ‘Sour grapes,’’ those, truly. Now, there never wasa more arrant humbug essayed to be ‘‘stuffed’’ into the popular mind than the idea that a majority of the population of St. Louis favor Abolitionism, and are willing to divest themselves of interest in the rest of the State wherein, except at Jefferson City, quite as little Abolitionism exists as in the State of Virginia. The American party of St. Louis is for the most part sound on the slavery question, and refrain from voting with the De- mocracy because of their difference on the nat- uralization question, and not because of a dif- ference with reference to slavery. The true anti-abolition vote of St. Louis is the Demo- cratic and American party vote combined. Nearly two-thirds of the whole Blair vote was almost entirely a German vote. The fact that the heavy German vote of that city voted en masse to sustain so vehement an Abolition- ist as Blair, Jr., cannot fail to damage, toa greatet or less extent, the prospects of Ger- mans at the South—to generate in the Southern popular mind a stronger disposition than now exists to change the naturalization laws—on the ground that there can be no security for the institutions of the South with the rapid increase of a class of voters who unite almost to a man to use the privilege of the ballot to break down the constitutional rights of that section of the Confederacy. The German population in the United States ha ther to purge themselves from identifi- cation with the Republican party, or eventually to find well nigh the whole South standing in unbroken array in favor of some change in the naturalization laws designed to embrace a guarantee that no more strength will be added to the force and power in this country warring on the rights of the South as guaranteed by the Constitution, by the admission of persons fresh from their European continental homes to all the privileges of American citizenship. In the late wild and excited contest over the already exploded Know Nothing question, the unanimity of the South alone saved the rights of the German emigrant, intact, as they now exist under the Government of the United States. Had the prejudices against them which were so rife at the North existed at the South in equal force, Know Nothingism would undoubtedly have triumphed. Though in that great contest the South was the bulwark of their defence, more than half the German vote of the non-slaveholding States was given to the candidate (Fremont) running as an avowed enemy of Southern rights; and 1 this late Missouri election the German vote has evinced & persistence in that grave mistake, which it is but reasonable to expect that the South in Con- gress may remember whenever questions arise wherein the policy of placing further checks and guards around the acquisition of American citizenship may be involved. A WASnINGTONIAN aT THE ALUM Srrincs.— [Correspondence of the Star ] Rocknaiver Arum Springs, Va.) August 5, 1858. 5 “Here am I” in the midst of sublime mountain scenery, enjoying a balmy and refreshing atmos- phere, (the thermometer ranging from 65° to 70°,) and imbibing the efficacious and healing waters of the springs, which have become renowned in the annals of watering places. and will be visited by thousands of persons from all sections of the country in pursuit of either health or pleasure This place is in the county the name of which it bears; and if I were not lamentably deficient in descriptive powers it would be a pleasing task to speak of the towering mountains, the gushing springs and flowing streams, the grandeur and loveliness of the scenery, a view of which would fill a poet’s soul with delight and admiration. A gentleman of great worth and dee, piety, re- ly here, remarked to the writer that the great nger of Israel, David, probably bad i bis mind’s eye this region when heexclaimed, “Oh, Lord, how marvelous are thy works.”* The Springs are 160 miles west of Richmond, and can be reached by the Virginia Central Rail- road in twelve hours by weugers from Balti- more, Washington and Alexandria. Much has been written in favor of-the healing qualities and medicinal virtues of the water of these springs. They are famed for the wonderful cures of scrofula, dixeases of the Kidney and liver, chronic diarrhea sprees and other mal- adies. The celebrated Dr. Cartwright, of Lou. isiana, bas written learnedly and with enthu- siasm in advocacy of these waters and of their healing properties. This valuable estate is owned and conducted b William Frazier, Esq.,a lawyer of distinction, and a gentleman of the old Virginia school. He contemplates Ss an additional large and suostantial hotel for the next season. The cabins are of brick, and ~~ in structure to an which I have seen in the mountains. All the ap- pliances and appointments of the establishment are convenient, aud in good taste, witb, I regret to say, one exception. The table is abundantly supplied with mountain mutton, venison, and is ia fact groaning, as it were, under “creature com- forts,” but the arrangement of the tables is un- satisfactory. This evil, the proprietor assured me, would soon be remedied. ‘There are now here about six hundred and fift visitors; and there are representatives from all parts of our widely extended, and still extending country; but the representatives of the “sunny South” are largely in the preponderance. Among the distinguished persons here, 1 will name the gifted, patriotic, but eccentric Senator Hayne of the Palmetto State, ex-Senator Pow- hatan Elis, of Mississippi, ‘and that vigilant” Watehman of the peopie’s Treasury, the Hon. John Letcher, of Virginia. bh so careful of the public money, this tleman is liberal with his own means, and lavishes his refined and ele- gant Bacphaley Lys his visitors. The proba- ility ix that he will soon grace the gubern: chair of this venerated commonwestiny ae Bat why should I dweil upon the male visit- ors, though they be ever so distinguished ? Should I not etd something of the softer, the gentler, the lovelier sex—those in whom “ the rose and tue Iily are beautifally blended??? The fair ones here present an array of beauty and in- teiligence, which will favorably compare with any lovely display of the kind that | have ever witeemed. ‘The time is whiled away in rambling over the mountains, playing ten-pins, whist, &c.; and at night a splendid band muste invites the gay throng to mingle in the sportive dance, tripp ing the light fantastic tow iu response to t ns of inspiring music.

ASHINGTON. Tue New Loan.—We noticed yesterday that the Secretary of the Treasury had opened the bids for the new ten million loan at noon, and we then gave such particulars as we could gather in time for their publication in the Star. We have since gleaned the following additional tacts from the published list of the bids. The aggregate sum bid for was $38,456,000. In re- gard to premiums, the bids were as follows: From par to 1 per cent $365,000 1 per cent. to 1} per cent. 260,000 i} “gw 620,000 730,000 1,690,000 9,050,000 12,270,000 4,000,000 3,685,000 3,730,000 “ “ EERE «$38,456,000 as for $5,000 at 7.03 per cent. premium ; and the next highest was for $5,000 at 6.89 per cent. About $200,000 was bid for at par. Of course, all the bidders at and above 5 per cent. were successful, and they are given with the amounts bid for respectively as follows : James M. Townsend, New Haven, Conn., $100,000; U. S. Trust Company, N. Y., $100,- 000; T. J. Abbott, W. C., $6,000; City Bank, New Haven, Conn., $20,000; Hoffman & Ten Broeck, N. Y., $20,000; Bank of the Metropo- lis, Washington, $50,000; Chubb Brothers, J. Fowler, N. Y., $5,000; Bank of Commerce, $200,000; Drexel & Co., Philadelphi Son & Morrison, $50,000; G. S. Robbins & Son, Y., $100,000; H. J. Seaman, N. Y., $25,000; Trevor & Colgate, N. Y., $100,000; Marie & Kauz, N. Y., $330,000; Seamen’s Bank for Savings, N. Y., $40,000; Howland & Aspinwall, $250,000; Hoguett & Boell, $20,000; Tallmadge & Manly, $100,000; C. F. Pond, Conn., $20,- 000. Total, $1,876,000. bidders offering between4 and 5 percent. The lowest being but asmall fraction below 4} per about half the loan, and a number reached one fourth the amount. Messrs. Auguste Belmont and H. Riggs & Co., offered conjointly to take | Wt with all possible dispateh by the Navy the whole amount ($10,000,000) at 3.77 per cent. They, however, got nothing. In speaking of this matter this morning, the Union says: «It must also be remembered that, had any large operator succeeded in getting the entire loan, the bonds would have been worth from 1 to 2 per cent. more in the market than under a dis- tribution such as the Secretary i make on the bids opened yesterday. by some of the leading applicants that, had the rate of interest been 6 instead of 5 per cent , the bids would have ranged about 10 per cent. higher than those opened. If this is so, a little calcula- tion will show that the losses of the Treasury by the redemption of stock are, after all, very incon- siderable ; in fact, if we consider the interest saved on the new loans and the old stock re- deemed, we doubt if the transactions do not prove that the Treasury bas been the gainer. Of course nobody anticipated the financial revulsion of last year, and much less that in eight months after it reached its height money would be worth only three per cent. a year.”’ Tae Harsor or New Yorx.—Profe-sor Bache is making an effort to induce the New York Legislature and the capitalists of New York city to subscribe sufficient means to Prosecute at once and toa speedy conclusion, surveys to ascertain the best mode of putting an end to the rapid depreciation of the harbor of New York—resulting from the rapid in- crease of the peninsula of Sandy Hook; and the Courier and Enquirer is ably backing his exertions. To illustrate the points involved, we quote the conclusion of a late able and in- teresting article in that journal on the subject, as follows : “« The commercial tonnage of the United States is now fally equal to that of Great Britain, and largely exceeds that of any other foreign power. Hence the necessity of providing at our chief port the best facilities for shipping; yet it ix stated oy Professor Bache that ‘the peninsula of Sandy Hook is graduaily increasing, the northward into the main channel. A spot north of the Hook, where there was forty feet of water when Captain Gedney made his survey, in less than ten years was nearly bare at low water. The importance of determining the cause of this increase, an leading to the means of con- troling it, cannot be over estimated. Within a century it has increased a mile and a quarter, and at about the rate of one-sixteenth of a mile, on an average, for the last twelve years.’ “ The ne side from the Hook does not de- crease as the Hook increases, and we have there- fore no compensation. In other words, it is an actual yearly depreciation of our harbor, and not merely a change in thechannel way. It was stated by Professor Bache, ina paper on New York Harbor, read recently before the Scientific Association held at Baltimore, that the action of the flood tide at Sandy Hook in transporting ma terials nearly six times that of the ebb, and hence the growth of the Hook; and, also, that this growth could be arrested by means of jetties. The fact, however, is admitted without reserve by the best marine engineers, that tidal harbors can be improved at a comparatively small cost, and reference is made to the improvement of the river Clyde and the Harbor of Glasgow, etc, to convince the most sceptical. ‘* We find it stated that Liverpool bas five miles of river wall, and that the Khe ge Measure four- teen miles in length—the total water space af- forded by the Liverpool docks being two bun- dred acres. Here ix an example of enterprise and liberality which might be wisely followed by our State and city authorities for the encour- agement of commerce. Tanirr Decisions.—The Secretary of the Treasury has decided that ‘‘crude naptha,”’ an oil made from a bituminous coal, in New Bruns- wick, by distillation, and used chiefly for illu- minating purposes, shall be classed in sobedale E of the tariff of 1857, and subjected to 15 per cent. duty. Collector Austin, of the Boston custom-house, had placed it in schedule C at 24 per cent. Also, that “ labels,’ being a manufacture of Paper, are properly classed by Collector Schell, of New York, in schedule C, at 24 per cent. duty. has been seceived such permission, the master t Geliver like manifests end make like entries, both of the shi ernor by a majorit: the Legislature frsf By the first section of the act of Febru- previous to her , to touch or at any foreign port or a hav’ Lf te or vessel, and of the is, Wares or merchandise on board, within the same time, and under the same ity, as by the laws of the United States are provided for ships or vessels of the United States arriving from a foreign port. The crews of fishing vessels are not seamen States, and therefore not entitled to any out of the fund for the relief and protection of American seamen through United States consuls at foreign ports, as extended by the act of Feb- ruary 28, 1S03, to seamen In the foreign trade, and by the act of April 4, 1840, to seamen en; the whale fishing. Fishing vessels cannot legiti- mately enter at any foreign port, ex: under the provisions of the act of 1793, and are liable under the same act to heavy penalties, if found within three leagues of the coast, with goods or merchan- dize of foreign growth or manufacture on board, exceeding $500, unless the vessel has the permis- sion of the collector before referred to. Under the law, { am of opinion that seamen on board fishing vessels are not entitled to consular aid, and that, in the event of their being driven to a foreign port in distress, any aid afforded them by the consul is a legitimate charge upon the een owner or master of the vessel. lam, very respectfully, Howat.

Collins to the letter of inquiry as to whether he intends to comply with the terms of his contract for carrying the ocean mail, has not proved satisfactory to the depart- ment; consequently, the arrangements for the transportation of this mail are placed in a very unsettled condition.
