This challenge, we leara, has been accepted by Mesers. Thomas Tucker & Co., shipbuilders, of Liverpool, in the following terms :— Om mature consideration of your correspondent’s letter trom New York, of the Bach ult, we have come to the determination, and beg leave to peemece, if can be backed by any gentleman in EF: sipt the proposed ehufenge of the Am enne 00 cua of 1, 8, Or any they to build, to be ited English tonnag {ithe masts, yards, and spars, the deck, Of bets shine to be pesntmly of e same di- menrions.

Yet we are told the profit from coke is a mere nothing, and would not materially affect the price ef gas. Supposing, how- ever, that three-fifths of the coke were consumed in heating the furnaces, (which is about the pro- portion), then the eale of the remaining two-fifths world projuce nearly $30,000 per anaum of clear profit to the company from this source alone. Now, the coke argument of the city fathers is like a two edged sword—it cuts either way. In England, they say the gas companies make a large profit out ofat, and, there’ore, t ev n afford to sel gas cheape:. ln New York, coke brings from ten to twelve :md a half cents per bushel. Ia Philadelphia, where coal for domestic purposes is cheaper than in New York, coke only br ngs five cents per bushel. The New York Gas Company ought, theretore, to be able to cell gas cheaper than the Philadelphia works; but instead of doing so, they charge $1 25 per one thousand feet more, an excess of nearly thirty-six per cent. Thusare the Common Council jadged out of their eo e ships: we should say twelve months at least. Itis to be perfectly understood that the ships are to sail irom Eueope to the Hast Indies and back, or to make @ cirouit of the earth ifthe Americans think | proper.

Asif it were an omen of the future, and of the success of the United States in the etruggle, the clipper ship Orien- tal made a passage so expeditious as to create a | sensation throughout the whole of England. Our clipper ships are fighting their way to favor, and so superior are they to English vessels in savl- ing, that the British government has recently char- tered one of them—the Roman—to convey troops from London to Bombay, ia India ; and an Eaglish house have contreeted for the building of a clipper ship, of eleven hundred tons, by our New York shipbuilders. We hope that nothing will occur to prevent this test of skill in building ships, and in navigating them, from being tried. There is, we are sure, public spirit emough here to raise the sum neces- eary for Luilding the American ship, and we hope that o r enterprising merchants wil! not be back- werd in making up the balance that remains uncol- lected. The trial would engage the attention of the whole civilized world. The Cost and M: faetare of Gas—-Exposure | Of the Statements of the Common Counc! | lt has long been the practice of the medical | faculty to write their prescriptions in Latin, in order to throw a veil of mystery over their profession, which “the profane vulgar” could | not penetrate. is companies have adopted the | good old custom, ia reference to the manufacture | and the cost of gas. They endeavor to keep the consumers and the public at large as igaorant as poesible of their ort, and, while theit business is to give light, they involve its source in darkness and obseurity, that they may feather their nests nseen, and that competition may sever reach their monopoly. The world, however, is growing too wise for them—the diffusion of useful kaow- ledve has stripped gae of i's mysteries, and shown the operations by which the raw material is con- verted into the manufactured article te be 80 simple that a child can understand them. The cost, too, is now reduced to a matter of arithmetic, which any schoolboy can calculate; eo that th grasping coafederacies can no loager fleece the public, if the public be only true to themselves, end will aot permit corrupt corperations to rob them in broad daylight, and with their eyes wide open.

The Hahfax company have made, according to their own account of the cost of the raw material (As. per 1000), about 5,679,000 cubic feet of gas. Now, if the information of the committee here be correct—that the price of coal in Halifax is only one- third the price of coal in New York—it shows that the $4,543 70 would have purchased 1,817 tone of coal at $2 50 per ton. That number of tons con- teins 4,070,080 tes. nearly three-quarters of a pound of coal to produce one cubic foot of gas; whereas three-quarters of a peund of coal ought to produce neerly four feet of gas; and the true result would be, that the receipts of the company would be quadrupled. But the farce isnot over. The amount of coal said to be consumed would yield about 75,600 bushels of coke; yet, in the same account, we find an extra charge of $1,675 for coal for fuel for heating the furnaces, whilst, in the accounts of the year, they state that they have received for coke, tar, end lime, 4315 Ws. 7d. If this extraomdinary statement recoils upon the Common Council, they have their committee to thank. We only turn their own pons against themselves. At most, 600 tons of coal should have both made the gas aud supphed the necessary fuel (coke) for the furnaces; and asthe greatest quantity made is little more than 15,000 feet per da; the charge for labor, salanes, Wc., is most extr gant, asie, also, the charge for repairs.

It appears, after all, that the San Salvadorenos have the best of the war now declared; and that, in some instances, they have been victorious over the Guatemelians. The Governor of Police of Realejo had informed the supreme government that a mine of gold had been discovered within a mile of Chinandega, on the national road between those two cities. The mine appeers to be very productive. The Gaceta, of San Salvador, says, respecting this matter:— “ We sincerely congratulate our brothers of are ma on sich a fortunate discovery. We wish thet this State, the pesition of which is eo im- portant tout, will be more prosperous frem day to jay. CHILI. We have in our poseession the Mercurio, of Val- paraiso, to the 21st of January.

The Honduras }¥atchman, of the 15th ult., has the following par- ticulars of the proceedings of the military forces of Salvador and Honduras :— On the Ist instant the troops of those States arrived st a village called San Jose, about three leagues trom Chiquimula. General Carrera was at that time in the latter place, and soon marched to meet chem, though they numbered about four thousand men. On the 2d instant, sdout 9 o'clock in the morning, the battle commenced, and continued with many changes of success on both sides, until half-past 3 o'clock ia the aiterneon, when, by an able manwuvre of General Var- rera, the forces of Salvador and Honduras were com- pletely defeated, leaving on the field many dsad, wounded, and prisoners, together with arms, bag- age, ke. i 9 pursuit of the enemy, who were flying in all di- rections, still continued by the last accounts, and in al] prcbability Carrera will now much upon Ban Sal- vadcr When the battle commesved, it is staved that Carrera bad ouly 2.000 men, but received several re- inforcemente during the day. This battle will no doubt break the neck of the hos- tile Intentions of thoee States against Guatemala, and yat a speedy end to what might otherwise have been @ jong protracted warfare. From some official documents publiehed in the Ga- | cte, it would appear that the preteat of the Salvado- | reniane for this peaserekse attack, is the blockade of their ports by the Britis, which they assert has been cone at the instigation of the Guatemalian govern- ment. l; The Watchman of February 8th, has the follow- ing :— By the Gucetc, from Guatemala, we see that the o lebrated annual fair of Esquipulas did not take place as usual, in consequence o: the menances of war from the State of Salvador— thi considerable inj Ty to th ral parties in the different States ot Central America, who had made arrangements and laid their plans this fair, where nearly every merch: ter and peli, e see that General Nufio has y re- thus showing, that, although dissatis- fied, they are not epposed to the government.

Exr.osion ov tue Sreamer Corinng.—The New Orleans Picaywme, of the Ist inst., gives the fol- jowing account of the explosiea ef this steamer: — steamboat Corinne, Captain John Sutton, was com- ing down the river, having in tow the bark Yankee Blede, when in the middle of the stream, and about cpposite St. Mary’s market, she exploded her la:boaerd boiler, blowing the starboard boiler entirely out of place, and breaking down the chim- neys and boiler deck, scattering fragments of each shattered ruins. The current being very strong, id the wind high, the Corinne soon fleated near the Algiers shore, and was immediately made fast alongside the fated Knoxville. “The bark anchored outside, and was in the course of an hour towed away. The bark was only injured ia so far ao her entire forward deck, sides, and up to the hot waier. Several boats came to the rescue of the Corinne, just as she no longer needed their services. This wes not their fault, however. ‘The tollewing is a list of the wounded aad mi: Coptein Jon Button, head and leg severely bi sioe; Jobs Ma: Se plict, badly bruised; 4 engineer, bad! engineer, eoalded and bruised. bat not ; Obaries, white man, deck hand, scalded slight ; Jack, white man, deck hand. leg broken, and badly scalded; Mun, black man, badly injured; Pete. black man, blown into the river, bat belovging to Mr. Lyncl, both missing, The mate was atthe wheel of the bark at the time of the explosion, and gave us the particulars, One or two of the wounded are at the Marine How- pital; the others were brought over to the eity.

During the week some of the fancies ruled heavy, while a marked improvement bas beem rea!!'ed in one or twe favorite securities. Railroads have noi civanced as much as anticipated, from the satisfactory returos of trafic upom the most tmportant lines, This class of securities can~ not continue depressed in the face of the favorable an- ticipations of future earnings, The season for travel is opening under the most favorable auspices, and it is our impression that the gross earnings of our prinei- pal lines of roads, during the approaching summer, wilt exceed any previous corresponding period. The favor- able reports which will be made monthly of railroad? traffic, will, without doubt, gradually bring in surplua capite!, more particularly om account of the hight prices current for public stooks. There are, of courses exceptions, and we do not wish to be understood as in- cluding all railroad companies inthis statement, Bsve~ ral of our leading railroad stocks are already tvo muck inflated, and the probability is taat a better equaliza- tion of prices, corresponding with the present aod prospective value of each, will, before the close of the season, take place. It is important that such a result should be realized, and that @ correct classification of all railroad stocks should be made, We have uo apprehensions of any immediate un ‘avorable change of consequence inthe money market. Recent failures have made the banks cautious, au® business paper is more closely scanned; but we do nos earn that any contraction is contemplated. or thatthe usuel facilities are not afforded, Callfornia continue © supply us with large amounts of gold and gold dust. About one million and a half has beea received within the past week, and from the accounts, we should judge that a corresponding amount would be received withia uhe next thirty da: There undoubtedly will be, for sometime to come, moderate contractions inthe money market, the result of temporary speculative move- ments, but we do not look for any serious etringency in the market for several months. Ia the commom courte of financial aud commercial «vents, we must expect a collapse butore the lapse of many months, that will add largely to the list of bankrupts, and show thet ell that glittersis not gold. We do not look for any great speculation in stocks of any kind, but we have oo doubt there will be fluctuations suflcient to give all classes of operators profits enough to pay their expenses to Saratogs and Newpert during the ap- proaching summer.
