The parts finished are polished in the highest style, and the engines, when completed, may challenge the world to competition. To give some idea of the magni- tude of the machinery, we may state that the double engine—for each of, the vessels is to have a double engine—and boilers, when fitted up, will amount to nearly six hundred tons. The other vessels have not been brought to the works, but they are all launched, and the engines are in a forward state. We congratulate the company on having placed its vessels in so able hands, We have no doubt but, when on the line, they will prove themselves superior to any afloat for elegance and convenience, ad well as for safety and speed.

The bankrupt ad- mitted that he had done so, but denied that he had injured himself by this step, which had only failed because it did not go far enough; and he assured his Honor that if he could have only got as much accommodation paper as he wanted, and on his own terms, he should have been still on his legs ; but this was prevented by Peel’s Bull. The Commissioner then asked the bankrupt if the failure of his crops last year, and his losses by the potato disease, which were set down at an alarming amount in the balance sheet, had nothing to do with his difficulties? To which he answered, nothing whatever; and that his bankruptcy was occasioned solely by want of money, which Peel’s Bill had made artificially scarce. His honor smiled, and observed that it struck him that nothing qguld be more natural than a scarcity of money to a man who had lost had made handsome profits with their male bondsmen, by hiring them out for any pur- pose, whether tor “Gulf cruises,” or other avocations not more honest, and the mode inw the unfortunate females were made a profitable commodity, was of a character which it would be too painful to detail in our pages. So profitable an ‘investment’ could, of course, not be abandoned, and the simplest mode of getting out of the dile uma deemed to be that of declaring another ‘‘free and independent” North American republic. This was done; the few respectable persons who ever lived in the country were leaving it as fast as they could ; and now came the time when it was the natura! rallying ground of every mauvais sujet who. could set his foot in it. Under the name of “volunteers,’”the vilest rabble of the Union pour- ed in, but they were rabble; and the piratical ruflians (who immediately set about plundering, burning houses, and murdering women and children on the frontiers) received several sound thrashings, even trom the feeble and distracted mbroi- Bali 21 tow.

By dint of the influence of the United States overnment, the Texan robber republic was * ac- nowledeged” by one or two of the European powers, and, of course, by its neighbor to the north. Mexico, however, was fast putting down the rebellion, and beyond doubt would have completely crushed it ere now; but the Texan “citizens,” who could not think of losing their valuable slave traffic, at length devised a plan by which they were sure of gaining their point. Slavery,'as is well known, is one of the “sacred” institutions of the United States; and when on the eve of being overcome, the virtuous commu- nity of Texas sent proposals for an amalgama- tion with a confederacy whose notions. of the rights of man soentirely agreed with their own. For some time there was hesitation, real or pro- fessed, in Washington; tor it seemed too open and barefaced a fraud and robbery to appropriate, at the invitation of a set of common murderers and rebels, the territory of a ‘sister republic” — a friendly and most inoffensive neighbor. But greed got the better of scruple, and in spite of the repeated and humble remonstrances ot Mex- ico, and of offers of concession which gave up everything short of the smallest reserve necessa- ry to preserve the attitude of an independent na- tion, the act of amalgamation was determined on by President Polk, and Mexico was driven into this unequal war. it and fooled it away as the bankrupt had done, and that what the bankrupt appeared to have wanted was an artificial plenty. He had never heard more absurd and unsatisfactory answers given. His Honor then remarked, that there was one part of the balance-sheet that was outrageous, and that was the amount of the bankrupt’s rail- way speculations. Here was a man confessedly ina state of hopeless insolvency, who, never- theles, plunged into a vortex of speculation, and projected railways in one year to the amount of between £300,000,000 and £400,000,000 ; and who, with resources everywhere failing him, persisted up to the very day of his stoppage, in applying nearly all his available funds in paying calls on these mad speculations, which could not return him a farthing for many years to come. The bankrupt admitted this to be true, and said that the very last payment appearingin his books, and which had been made up by overdrawing his bankers, borrowing of his friends, and pawn- ing his few remaining valuables, had been made to prevent a forfeiture of his new consolidated 16th extension preference shares in the Direct Bagshot-heath and Dartmoor Forest Junction line, guaranteed to pay 10 per cent, by the Great Asinine Company. He admitted that the shares had fallen 20 percent since the call was paid; but he said he had no doubt that when the pre- which ye of Gee ncies | From thousands of honest and congcientious | sent artificial scarcity of money was removed, Debility, Liver Gom- | men in the United States, this flagrant proceed- | they would beara high premium, and that though iveness, Low Spine, ing elicited the loudest execration. They repu- | possibly the line might not be immediately re- ¢ ue, | diated it inthe name of their country, and pro- tested that it was only the act cf a factious Ex- ecutive, anxious to secure another four years’ lease of power, by courting the base passions of the vilest of the white mob. The latter “ele- ment” constitutes, unfortunately, an extensive pate ee in the American Presidential fran- chise. What has occurred since the formal outbreak of hostilities, has already been related from time to time in cur columns. " The superior discipline and armament of the United States’ forces got the better of the Mexicans, whose mere physical strength stands scarcely in the proportion of 50 per cent, as compared with that of their hardy and powerful oppressors, It is only the mere heartlessness of insolent ignorance tnat can ac- cuse them of universal poltroonery, for on seve- ral occasions they fought very well, according to their inadequate skill and ability. This, however, is pot our point. We wish simply to put the facts of the case before our readers, as far ag they relate to the principles of justice connected withit. They are here stated moderately aud without exaggeration. It is pos- sible that we may not entertain the highest opinion in the world of the Ameri Govern- ment and people; but we have the satisfaction of knowing that our execration of the foul crime is not greater than that expressed, through the columns of all the respectable American jour- nals, by the large masses of honesty, intelli- gence and emulation, which unquestionably exist in the Union. They confess and own themselves ashamed of the whole business. It is, unquestionly, one of the worst affairs, in its attributes of eruelty and infamy, which ‘the history of any people records, and affords a sad munerative, a remote posterity would reverence the memories of the directors who had developed the hitherto dormant resources of those barren districts which were tobe brought into conjunc- tion. The bankrupt, then (after quoting Sir Ro- bert Peel on the advantages of direct lines) went on to assure the Commissioner, that although the last call left him without a shilling in his pocket, it was not in the remotest degree con- nected with his stoppage, which was entirely at- tributable to the working of that insane act of Parliament which had crippled the gizantic, re- sources of this great country by the mischie- vous and fatal Te of a restricted cur- rency on a metallic basis; but the commissioner, who had heard him with evident impatience, and had several times intimated doubts as to his distresses having aflected his mind, at length cut him short by adjourning the examination sine die, eaying it was the worst case he had ever seen, and advising the bankrupt to make no application for a certificate.

They are being built by different parties, some of whom belong to our neighborhood, and they are being fitted up and furnished with engines by our talented townsmen, the Messrs. Napier, of the Vulean and Lancefield foundries. The names of the four steamers are the Europa, the Canada, the Niagara, and the America The latter of these has already, reached Glasgow, and lic the Clyde, adjoining the Lancefield foundry. To give an idea to those who have never seen these monsters of the deep, is utterly impossible.

The federal contingent of the twelve and a half cantons amonnts to 50,000 men, and that of the seven States of the Sonderbund to 11,000. It was not the custom of the ancient Swiss to fight five against one, and we cannot think there is ever much honor to be achieved in such a campaign. The real inequality of the respective forces, however, is not so conside- rable as people imagine. Itis agreed, that the Grisons eilaavenes no troops; Soleure, Tessi- no, and Geneva are equally paralyzed. The same is the case with Argovia, at least as regards the ester portion of its contingent. The Roman atholic, or mixed States, that would go to war would be exposed to the greatest dangers in the interior, if they, chose their own people, and be- fore the enemy if they proceeded otherwise. As to St. Gall, it will only vote—if it vote at all—on condition of not marching; and far from furnishing a single man to the federal army, it will occupy a part thereof by the neces- an, of observing it. he contingent of the remaining cantons hard- ly exceeds 30,000 men. Asa set-off, the States of the alliance, long menaced, and knowing the forces against which they would have to con- tend, have made the most extraordinary efforts to arm and organise the whole of their popula- tion ina military capacity, without even ex- cepting the women. ‘These landsturme, some of whom are destitute of fire arms, have been made asubject of derision, and the very extent of these preparations has been used as a pretext for keeping the population of the cantons subject to the radical sway in a state of the most insat delusion. The sithes and the morgensterne (morning stars) of the /andsturme have caused them to forget their contingents, the landwehr, and the extraordinary battalions in their rear, as well armed, at least, as those of their adversa- ries, better drilled, and exalted by the sentiments of religious duty, and by the sufferings to which they are subjected by the footing of war which has lasted so long amongst them; finally, well acquainted with the localities, and defending their very hearths and altars. The canton of Friburg alone can advance 10,- 000 regular troops, including, at least, 8,000 de- voted soldiers. An eminent citizen, resident in the interior of Switzerland, whose opinions are esteemed as very moderate by his neighbors, re- cently announced, in a private letter, which we have seen with our own eyes, that the alliance was prepared to advance 50,000 fighting men. — This number, adduced by a man engaged in one of the camps, may be suspected of exaggeration; but, making some abatement, and even a great deal, sutficient is left to induce singular reflec- tions. ‘These forces, in fact, balance and exceed the available contingents; for every one will, doubtless, perceive that, in « civil war, more troops are requisite for acts of aggression than for acts of defence, especially when the latter enjoy the advantages ot ground, entrenchments, and succors of all kinds. The aggressive can- tons, therefore, will not succeed in their enter- prise by means of the federal ,contingents alone; they will have te march reserves and volunteers: But, in this case, the character of the war is con pletely changed; itis no longer what is called ‘a war of execution,” for the Diet can only employ in the ‘‘ execution” of its decrees the forces of which it Cg according to the terms of the compact. hen foreign forces are to be op- posed, the federal authority may, no doubt, order a levee en masse ; but the idea of exercising the functions of police by means of /evees en masse has never been talked of. The diet can only de- mand from the cantons their contingent. ‘The rest depends entirely upon the pleasure of the cantonal governments. If certain cantons— Berne and Vaud, ex. gra.—enlist their entire population in the struggle, we must hear no more talk of the ‘‘execution of the decrees of the diet,” or of ‘‘federal measures,” but of a duel of cantons with cantons, : ‘The thing is clear enough ; for it is assuredly impossible to imagine that cantons which, on their own account, will not have furnished a single soldier, can have the impudence to con- stitute themselves a maiority for the purpose of ordering others to levy their very last man. There is something odious in the position of those cantons which would give marching orders in the diet, when they themselves had made up their minds not to do anything of thekind. The thing is not merely odious, it is unjust. The moment a federal measure is at issue, it ought to be federally—that is to say, squitably executed, and all the cantons ought to be called upon to concur init, according to the federal scale. The cantonal Urabe ose el which signe levy troops, without the other cantons (at all events, those of the majority) having ordered any to m , would do go of its own free will; for, in reality, it would in nowise be bound to do so; it would, therefore, sacrifice 1ts population of its own free will, and could not shelter itself behind the duty of obeying the commands of the diet. In such a case, nevertheless, the soldiers would have to march, since such a sacrifice is permitted, if not compulsory ; and, consequently, the government to which they owe obedience would command inall the competence of its authority. But, as citizens, they would have to judge this act ; and, in order to. do so with effect, they must be made preliminarily acquainted with afl its bearings. The Journal des Debats contains the following eketch of M. de Salis Soglio, commander-in-chief of the army of the Sonderbund: General Salis Soglio was born at Coire, in the canton of the Grisons. In 1841 the Diet appointed him federal colonel. In 1844 the Vorort of Lucerne appoint- ed him to command the federal troops, which it convoked in the beginning of May, on the occa- sion of the events of the Valais. The resistance made by Berne and Vaud to the orders of the Vorort, and on the other hand the promptitude with which the contest was terminated in the Valnis, prevented the assembling of the army commanded by General de Salis. In conse- quence of some family misfortunes, a residence at Coire became insupportable to him, and he eagerly accepted an of fer made him to direct the system of defence adopted by the Sonderbund. He repaired to Lucerne last January, and he has been since actively employed in acquitting him- self of the duty eutrusted to him. He has tra- velled through each canton of the Sonderbund and their military forces have been organize: under his direction. He has been struck off the list of the federal staff in consequence of having expressed his determination to accept, if neces- sary, the command of the army of the separate alliance. He is at present at Lucerne, where he enjoys the complete confidence of the army, ful- ly justified by the bravery he has exhibited on severel occasions, is the enetay he has displayed in the cause of the Sonderbund, and by his re- markable physical strength. neral de Salis Soglio professes the Protestant religion. THE POrE. ‘ The Sémaphore de Marseilles, of the 23d ultimo, quotes a letter from Rome of the J6th:—“* On the preceding evening,” it says, “the population, grateful for the promulgation of the motu-proprto instituting a council of state, proceeded in a mass to the Quirinal to comp!i- ment the Pope on that important reform, The manifestation passed off with the usual order and enthusiasm. On this occasion, however, there were several banners, on which were writ- ten in large letters the names of each province. Each banner represented its province, and was crowned with laurel leaves and white dahlia flowers. These were surmounted My a er standard, bearing this inscription—‘ Consulta di stato concessa dal immortale Pio IX., il 15 Octobre, 1847.’ ‘The standards of Bologna and Rome were on the right and left; that of Fer- aie cane lass, surrounded by Pontifical flags, ie amidst hehted wax tapers, re- ceded by the band of the firemen Fy pectes- sion repaired in that order to the Quirinal ; but on reaching the square, the banner representing Ferrara took the lead, and advanced under the balcony, on which the Pope came torward to confer his benediction on the people. Its bearer then waved the banner, and cried with rian voice, ‘* Holy Father, deliver me from the rasp of foreigners.” A loud acclamation arose rom the crowd, electrified by an invocation re- calling to them a signal violation of the rights and dignity of the Pope and the Romans. The holy pontiff, who was himself visibly moved, withdrew from the balcony, and the crowd se rated with as much order and composure as if it retired from a church.” Apventures In Syaia.— We have just heard of an interesting adventure of Lieutenant Molineux, of her Majesty’s frigate Spartan, which may amuse our readers. He, having volunteered to make a survey of the Dead Sea, during the time the frigate was on the coast of 3: » (a sea, by the by which has never been thoroughly sur- veyed,) started with three of the crew of the above frigate. Soon after the arrival of the gal- lant lieutenant at the place of his labors, the story is told that the boat’s crew. were attacked by # band of Arabs, and made prisoners. The Arabs were, however, satisfied with not taking their lives, but plundered them of everything they had about them, not even excepting their shirts, and left them thus exposed to a urning sun on & parched sand. ‘The sailors bravely persevered, and after in- credible hardships arrived safe at Beirout, with their backs skinned by the heat, and their feet dreadfully swollen. The men were conveyed on board of her majesty’s steamer Hecla, and immediately were put on the sick list. They are, happily, recovering, and are now in the uarantine harbor, but they will get pratique on the 2d proximo with the steamer. But to return to the lieutenant. He was more fortunate.— Whilst riding on a camel, he was attacked b: the Arabs, but, with the true courage of a Britis! tar, immediately jumped off the animal's back, and, getting to leeward, presented his doubdle- barrelled gun over the neck of the camel, and, with his finger on the trigger, threatened the robbers to fire upon the first that attempted to touch him. In this way he travelled, keepin, the ruffians at bay, for miles, and, at last, reache: Jerusalem in safety. We hear that he has since joined his ship at Jaffa, and is now engaged in drawing a chart of that ancient, historical, and interesting sea. The cadi, or governor, having been informed of the affair, immediately sent in pursuit of the Arabs, whose tribe is well known. Malta Times. = Miscel?ancous, Some fourteen years ago, Capt.

The treasury order of the Brasilisn government. of which the subjoined is translation, has been officially communi: to this department: Joaquim Texeira de Macedo, acting inspector of the custom-house of this city, gives notice that the treasury board has issued the foliowing order: — The ery inspector of the custom house may be in- formed that it is understood by the imperial ic that the whaling vessels which have been in the habit of touching. in the roads of Ilka Grande, for the purpose of selling goods and buying provision there, without either import or export duties,have not dene this ignorance of the custom house regulations of the 22d of June, 1636, nor have they counted upon infidelity or negligence on the part of the subaltern authorities of the coast; nevertheless, being desirous of giving to Mr. Tod, the envoy extraodinary of the United States, ancther proof of good will, it grants the request which the said whaling versls be suspended forthe term of four mouths, whaling suspen e term oO: which are to be reckoned from this date, it duty of the cruising vessel of this custom house during that time to restrict itself to warming such whaling ‘Vessels as may bbe those cosstato withdraw forth- with, and to abstain from communicating with the shore.
