AFFAIRS IN BUROPE. The French Vik w of American Clippers= @he Contest with England, [From the Paris Constitutionuel of Jan 24) It is Koown that the commerce of California has given an immense i 9 te the commercial ma- rine of the United *. An entire fleet of more than twelve hundred vessels, sailed from the of the Union for ©: enta during the year 1850; and were then oiedaiofu'ly abandoned in the harbor of San Francisce us storeships. In the meantime, the dock yards of the United States were the theatre of a predigious activity; and, in a year a new fleet, expreesly created for the wants of a now in- dustry, made its appoxrance on the sea. . At the time of tuo rapid increase of the Cali- fornian resourcee, Jaad bad repealed the British protective naviga’ lawe; and the Americans, Prompt to make profit of eush a favorable circum- Stance, conceived, and immediately realized the idea, to compete with ! nglish vessels in the ports of the Indias, and alco sose of London and Liver- project, they constructed, prices, ships which they tried to make superior to ati in sailing qualities. “These veseels, after having unloaded their cargoes at San Francisoo, were to return to the United States b; way of China, india, Mauritius, Cape of Goo Hope, and England. The considorable profits de- rived by transporting merchandise between the ports of the Union and California, enabled the ship- owners to take return froights at low «charges. Thus, arriving in ballast from San Francisco, in the waters of Hong-Kong, Caloutta, Madras, Bom- bay, Ceylon, or ¢ pore, the American clippers offered tothe | merchants of these ports the double advantage of low ireight, and of very rapid tranrportation Why should they not have pro- ferred them to tho Euglish ? In noticing thes facts, some months ago, after having studied cvllection of semi-official docu- | mente publisbed in the Colonial Review, we pre- dicted that this struggle would be fatal tothe kng- lish marine. The !ast yearly list of the voyages made by British sh’ between Englend and the Bast Indiex, fully oorfirws this opinion, and goes | even farther than tish ves-els freigh era. Tne number of Bri- ast Indian ports for Eng- land, was 1.173 in 3850 In 1851, that number decreased 222, consequently leaving but 951. That deorease is the more obvious, trom the fact thatthe number of ships despatched from England to India, garing the s»me year, was greater than in 1850. This isan evident proof of the superiority of the American over the Unglish marine. The British veeeels eent off to tnaia, have hed their return freight taken fr m by the American clippers, and the corseq) s to the snip owners was very reat, as gere y the transportation of cargoes ‘rom Great Britain te India offers but fow benetits. Such an operation has only losses of going are compensated by tha profits of returning. in abolishing the tari tish flag inthe Englist then openly e: are alroady cons thing come from th It ia an affair to bo judged by the future--by expe- rience. What is ccrtuin, at this moment, is, that the abolishing of tho navigation laws was followed by the decrease w! k, trade of the British mar Britain. It is vain in England to attempt to dony the im- portance of this fact. English anxiety betrays itself by exertions making to replace the old fleet of slow and heavy ships by fast sailing vessels, able to compete in specd with the Ameriean clip- pers. The shipwrights of Aberdeen have distin- guished themselves by the building of several ships of great spced—among the number, the Statesman, Captain (icdfroy, which crossed frem Lendon to New [Holland in seventy six days. Bri tish se)f-love, so irritable on the questiun of their maritime power, is exalted on that subject. We e fi d ii whioh protected the Bri porte, oar neighbors havo mecives to oases which Finally, can a good ¢. ¢, between India and Groat could even add that ourneighbors seek to shake | off their thoughts from the check which threatens their merchatt marine by noisily asserting that the Statesman is not the only one of their vessels which bas mace vo quick a passage. In their en- thusinem they even forget to account for excep- tional circumstances, which give sometimes to a | middling ship a great rapidity to her sailing. It mF, if we lis*en to hor words, that the American builders are left tar bebind, and thatthe celebra- ted clippers cannet fail now of being distanced b; the ehips contracted in English dock-yari Wounded by that boasting, an Amorican came lest year and cficred a trial of speed between a yackt of the Union, with the quickest ofthe Bri- tish craft of the same kind. The stako was consi- derab)e—it amounted, if our memory is faithfal, to the eum of 250 (00 france. The American won the race by arriving atthe goal long beforo all ber competitors, and gained the stakes. Be that © condition of navig: regard to competition, is now profoundly rapidity of eniling is to become one of the principal elemeste of success. ryt spires to render necessary that rapidity. The promptnets of commnaications by steam, on land and on the seas, inust provoke acceleration of traps- portation by railing su'pe. The merehante resid— ing in foreign cour iries wish their orders execated with the greatest porsible celerity, and they en- gage their correspondents to choose the most rapid Lt without any corsideration as to the price of freight. Now tbe cowpetition is so great, that everywhere the market for ail kinds of merchan dise are subjested to the greatest variations. If seareity ie great ore day, ebundance reigns on the following day, by tho simultaneous arrival of nu- merous ehips cariying the samo kind of cargoes. Articles of commerce which are, today, sought for at high prices, will be to-morrow undervalued, and Jefton the bands of merchants. The firet comer reape the harvest, avd leaves but the retuse for otbers—the rapidity of his movements gives him a kind of monopoly, and euch areward gives a strong impetus to strugg'e for superiority of speed be- tween two versele ergeged in a similar voyage. We have said that tte United States marine was nearly entirely renewed, and that it is composed for the most part of slight, agile veesels, built for speed. Inorder to give them these qualities, it Was necessary to sacrifice a part of the capacity of the old maritime modeis—vbose vast sides, those plump and spscious boids, in which such large quantities of merchandire were formerly crowded, arene more seen. The clippers have a long and fine form. Between the Spanish galleons, or the (atch ships which carry the cheeses, and the American clippers, there is the same difference which exists between a jarge matron, with a turban on her head, ail alone in a corner of the ball room, atd the young lady bounding inthe arms of her partner; or between the thin and fiery riding horse and the slow aud thick ploughing horse. The Awericans oply emyley now ships of the swiftest kind g built sharp, these veesols carry less merchandire ; but what they lose in quantity, they regain by quality, for the transport of cargoes by swift sailing vesrels ie paid much better for than also, into the same views. mnarme, which, not being pro- bya constant etruggle, and its competitors Will the killful as their rivals?

The author is a poot in the truest sense of the word. Without an ostentatious display of philogophy, he enters ably into the mo- tives which govern the human heart, and koaps alive the interest of his piece as much by the con: duct of the parsions as by the powerfal influonce ef events. We look forward, therefore, with much curiority to the firat performance of his piese, ia which Mr. and Miss Vandenhoff take prominent | parts Prixcrse’s.—This theatre was closed on the fith in consequence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean and the compaay being engaged in the perform- ance of ‘King John,” at Windsor Casile, before the court. “Kine Joun” at THR Princess’s.—" King John,” | performed beforethe Queen on the 6th, and to be | produced at the Princess’s on th: 9h, is said to | ep been prepared with even more than the ordi- nary s.lcndor, for which this theatre is proverbial.

Whon the seamen was first etarted of a Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, those who undertook it had of course very great doubt a8 to its euccess; it was one of the most probleme tic things inthe world; it was denounced by many persons who considered it a project likely to in- volve the governmont and individuals in greate penge, and atall events, that it could not produ: any national good; this was the language of the provincial papere; but the papers of London, al- meet without exception, gave the project their hurra, as Prince Albert was at the head of it. Tae Crystal Palace project was pressed through Parlia- ment, and Hyde Park appropriated to it uader the aurpices of the prince consort. The British Par- liament is reputed to have the power to do every- thing, except to make man @ woman, or womana wan; but the Corporation of New York have not quite tbat power—but even if thoy were aa omai- potent asthe British Parlismont, wo should still bave the prerogative, aa individuals and corpora- tions, of inquiring whether it would be for the ge- nersl good—whether it would promote the interests of the industrious classes in this country at large— whether it would proms the interests ofthe trade, and commerce and industry of thiscity,and whether the publio, or the corporation—supposing them to | be ever 80 competent—ought to countenauce it, or whether the project is fraught with mischief and way of getting up @ national oxhibition, and it is particularly objectionable when we know that its real ebject is not national, but to get rid of the now lying in Lond n. That this is the de n I know, because I had it from one of the ho wanted me to become a co uwmissioner, an honor which I declined [1 Me Lockwood will permit me, { will amena his resolutiva, so that it msy run as follo ‘ Rerolved, Tat # committee be appointed to enter Into correrpondence with rimiiar societies of other cijtes of the Uvicp.on the subject of holding a great nsiional fair, every five or ten years, the first to be held in the city of New Yor mmittee examine the wbole subject, and take all steps necessary to make the fu of the n | fair certata, should the com mittee find the sim: socletios in other cities ready to 00 operate with chia scotery Mr. Lock woop —I accept the amendment with a grent deal of pleasure, and | am only sorry that the gentleman has not explained his views more fully, forbe knows more than the rest of us. I believe entirely with him, thay they thought this refure to be good enough for the Yarkees, and mude up their mirds to foist it upon us inthe shape of a graud exhibition of a World's Fair. What intereat Englacd takes in American manu- f{wotures or commerce is ilustrated by a very little fact that hag recently transpired, aud which throws light upon the real objects ef the agents of foreiga governments in this matter. A straw thrown up shows which wey the wind blows. ‘ho fact 1 al- Jude to is this:—Chevalier Wikoff, an American citizen, arrested, at Genoa, upon a serious charge, in reference to a lady, asserts hia right to be exempt from the ordinary procevs of the law, on the ground thathe was an agent of England, employed by Lord Palmerston, to effect certain objects of aan ternatioval character between this country and Great Bri This little fact, I say, shows which wey, ae wind blowe, ana we seo the rame thing all through. Mre Nasx —There appears to be too many things mixed up together here. What does it all msan? My friend Look7wood accepts the amendinent of Mr. Hoe What are they going to do? Are the Urys tal Palsce people going to hold a grand fair, and is the American Instisute to hold 4 fair also, and if so what is going to be dono with the grand bazaar up town!—are we to have a fair of our own aud the foreign people to hold another at Reservoir Square. What is to be te effeet of two such fairs ip one euch small place? (Shoa’s of laughter.) 1 want to know from Mr. Lo:kwood, and | demand acategorical answer (laughter); [ want to know with the depreesion which followed the in Loa- don. or is one whigh would bring all the wealth of California withi w months into the lap of our city. Ifthe reeult appears eo unfavorable, of | course it is our duty to say 80, and speak out, and | remonstrate in a bold tone with these gentlemen | who Pan to be the omnipotent parliament in | New York; but if, on the other hand, we should | find ita project which would be beneficial to the | city of New York, and to every branch of trade and | commerce, we ought, disregarding all other con- | | | tiderations, to give it a hearty and cordial sup- port. Ido not wish to discuss this part of the suo- ject any farther. Let us inquire into the facts— let us see what effect the fair had in London. We do | not expeot, and cannot have a Kob-i-noor, or those jewels of immense price, and a thousand other ob- jects, which wore, no doubt, the chief attraciions of that exhibition to huodreds of thousands. Bat this is entirely outside of what the operation is to | be on our own eity interasts, and on the interests of | the manufacturing and industrious clasres of every kind in this country. It seems tome that this ig deserving of very serious and grave consideration, | and for this purpose we must it investigate all the facts, with such material can be found in a great variety of publications in this city, and we can then determine whether or not this ia a thiog which the Institute ought to countenance or set itself against. I now come to the subject of the right of the Corporation to SUpPOPH Ete Reservoir square, a public square, devoted to public use, and to leaso it fora nominal or any otber rent, to be occupied in the way proposed. I u:terly deny any such authority in the Corporation of the city of New York; they have no more right to lease that for one, two, or three years, than they have to lease the Park for five doliars, to be used as a cow pasture. But this is entirely outside of the other westion, whether or xot it would be beneficial to the industry of the ci:y of New York, and the tradirg interests of the country at large. If, aI am informed, the effect in London was the perfect stagnation of all business there for three or four months after the be roa} @f the exhibition, what may we not expect it to doin this city? Thore all the influences of the govérnment were enlisted to support it ; but here, in the city of New York, the case is quite different, and it may produce a very disastrous effect on the industrial and commercial interests of thia city. I, therefore, move that the subject be referred to a cowmittee of three, to be appvinted by the chair, end report to tho Institution at an early meeting. Mr. Nasu wished to know what isté be done in the meantime, if the committee goes into operation; they would find that before they moved many steps, this crystal palace project would have got retty much matured, aud the act now before tho gisiature, to incorporate the body'for five years, whistle up hill or down hill, but they would not reject; and they would fiad, in that event, that the American Institate might a3 well stop holding fairs for the five ye that the crystal palace would be held at Reservoir square. This orystal palace, instead of boing a shew to gratify the American people, and excourage art, will be & great cOmmercial bazaar, where all of the manufactures and industry of Euroye, which were not dispoeed of at the London exhi.tion, might be sent forsaie. And, at the same time, they would fi.d that this would produce a great commercial monopoly bere. If this bazaar be incorporated at Reservoir square, we will find it to be estab- lishment by which every kind of manufacture made in the old world will be presented here, and kept on exhibition, and that they will have agents here for the purpose of receiving orders and furnishing goods for the market, to the exclusion of our own manufactures; and this, besides, will be a perpetual thing. Once oa that institution, and once get an act of Legislature for that purpose, as they wil, and we may then “bang up our harps.” But We are not to go to work by way of appointing cow- wittees to fing out what the fair did ia London, for we knew that already; our first act should be to send a remonstrance to the Legislature, against in- corporating such an institute, and, if such a re- monstrance is sent, I have no doubt but it will have the eflect of stopping the act of incorporation, and the sooner it issent the better. The idea of appoint- ing a committee to investigate, consider, und re- port ina fortnight herce, is simply absurd. We want prompt action. We ought to do it this eve- ning; and we want also to appoint a committee to enter into communication with our gister societies in Philadelphia, Boston, Albany, and elsewhere, to mwuke a concerted remonetrance duction of such a monster into this country, as well us to unite with usin holding a world’s fair here— not for the benefit of foreigners, who care nothing oney owt of it, but for the benefit of our own rious classes—and I have no doubt but that euch a world’s fair would succeed most admirably. Tacy can get Evglichmen to maice thoir palaco, and te serd their glass and iron here for the purpose; and they cen get meney enovgh eubseribed by mavwecturing establishments ia Lurope to erect ten tuch palaces, and to kop them open jor five years; foreign goods hore, to the injury of our own manu- facturing citizens. Allow tae watchmakers of Switzerland to bave sueh a bazaar epen for five years, avd they will eond watch caevs hore ensagh to put an entire stop to ourcmD manufacture of | thet artiole; and it is just so with cloths and a mil- liom other things. Now, do you believe that wo could get permission to go to England and sot up & ment to bold a world’s fair there for % period of five yesro? Io you believe that the French people, or the Swite people would believe it! Do you be- lieve that there 1s a single country in the old world | which would permit any such project to be oarried on? Could not the Lord Commissioners close the London lixhibition et a certain time, and probibit it being opened again? and did it not receive the mort etrenuous hostility from the British manufss- turing clesres? and did they uot say it was a plan whereby el! foreign nations might exhibit and take away from their own establishments? And why, undéer heaven, if the exhibition would be good for five yeare, did they not continuo it for that time? or why did they not agree that it should be opened rext year? But they are going to throw awoy their ban because they never intend tooccupy it again. in conclusion, Mr. Nash urged that immediate re- monstrence should be made to the Legislature agoinst the incorporation of such @ body; bat ifthoy wanted te form a committes and got a report from them, they wonld find that, ia tho meantime, tho act would be in operatio: Col. Hor then rece and said—I woull like to meke a few romarka on this eubjoct. I wasin Loo don when tho proliminary mecting about the Orys- tel Palace was tiret bronched. The groat objovt, as 1 understood, was to get samples of all tho manufacturing industry of the world, and to got up # greater oxhibitios than that held previously as Paris. I was atthe French exhibition, and there were @ greet many Englich manufacturers thoro Who wanted perinizgion to exbibit their goods, but the Preach would not pormic them, and then they went to work to get up their Worid’s Fair. Iocan assert, without foar of contradiction, that large amount of goods have been lying over sinco the erbibition in London, sud the object is to get this refuse off the hands of the owne It is therefore & private speculation, or rather eet stock ope- retion. ‘1b object of the Crystal Palace movement hero is to get a obarter from the Logisluture to form & joint stock company. J'rom the advertive- ment of tae parties concerned, it appoars that por- rons MAY give to a ceriaia amount as donations, or by givitg more, may become partakers of the prodita ‘his appears tv mo to be w vory improper | people to the hotels from all parts of the Union? bow the Institute expect to raise $15,000 to pay off the debt hanging over them, besides the expenses of the fair? Then, again, 1 waut to knew if he be- lieves that the Amerisxan people wish for or will tolerate a bazaar fair? Will they toleratea gang of men who want to bold a@ perpetual fair for five years? Can this Institate hold a fair for those five ears? My learned friend tells us that the Common Joungil have no power to leave Reservoir Sqaare ae five years ave they not leased Casile Gar- ent Mr Locxwoop.—That is not a public square. 1 say they bave no power to lease a public equare. Mr. Nasu —They do ag they please in every- thing, and I ask my friend, as a lawyor, how long will ie be before possession could be recovered from them? Mr. Locxwoop.—That depends on the fee (Laughter. ) Mr Nasu --I understand they have got $5,000 from the Astor House. Will Mr. Lockwood col- lect the same sum there, and will the dollars come to the Institute from ail the other hotels? Mr. Locxwoop.—Yes. Mr. Nasu —Who is it that has hithorto brought js it not the Amerizan [nstitute, which, for the last twenty-four years have brought strangers to the hotels, from whom they have reaped a golden har- vest? And are they now going to encourage fureign- ers and foreign institutions, and Kossuth and in- tervention, and such humbugs (roars of laughter), instead of helping us now io the days of our adver- sity’ Now, Mr. Chairman, I am eqaally opposed to the committee of Mr. Lockwood, and te the committee ef my friend Mr. Hoe [ am not op- posed to theee committecs if it is right to hold a fair at all. But we are letting in the enomy to take poesersion of tho citadel while we are makiog ar- rapgements about another matter, and we are not moving one inch with regard to the projzot thrust upon us. My friend, Mr. Lockwood, will find that the bazaar will be got up, and that he will sing the requiem to the American lustitute for the nexs five yeare at least. (Much laughter) Who has got up all tho fairs during tho past but the American Institute? Have they not done it with great sao- rifices to thomeelves?’ Tho foreigners never had a project but what they patterned atter us. (Laugh- ter.) The World’s Fair was but the same thing we did, cay on a larger scale and with more money. Mr. Dycxman.—This city is a great piace—not a smell ove—it is the great entrepot of the world, and we care net how mauy projects are sent here. It is ail the better. heu Canard sent his agen's here, it did not alarm us. Jt only had the eflect of producing better steamshipsthan his. Inthe same way Stewart built a marble palaee. Did we oppose him’ No, but others built stores equal, if not su- perior, to bis. There is room for all, and [ like competition. If we want to give notoriety to, and aid in, the establishment of the new project, let us oppose it, for our opposition wilibe a card. What We ought to do is to let them alone, and get up a fair superior to theirs, and ec ipse them, as we can do if we please. Thatis honorable competition. lam nat apprehensive that they can prodace a fair that will excel us. Our mecbanios can contribute specimens of art and kill equal to any in the world; end this competition will be ali for the good of art, and tend to promote the interests of the couatry at Jarge. I should thorefore wish to get up a fair su- perior to all other fairs, but potas a counter movo- went. Our path isto go on with the grest car- rents ofthe day, and not oppose but aid them. If, for instance. they send a printing press to New | York, let our friend Mr. Hoe beat them ashe has | done before, and just as the exhibition of British | steamehips here had the effect of bringing out Col- | lin’t line to eclipse them. | ray, therefore, | like com- | petition; and if these men want to get a charter at | Albany, let them do £0, and let us not oppose them. | Alltheee projecte will assist the city, and give it | preeminence in the world. Let us go on like our friend Mr. Stevens, who built a yacht to beat all Englard. I hope my friend, Mr. Nasb, will go on with us. Mr. Nasu—l ask if my friond supposes that foreign ands native fair cau exiss together, both prosper; and I want to knew if C steamers could go on without the aid of Congress? Mr. Maynakp then eaid—The old adage, “com- petition is the lite of trade,” is verified in this ia- stance; and if this humbug of a crystal palace, this bugbear that so frightens us, is to appear somewhere up tomn—I know not whe e—it is easy forthe American Jostitute, by taking hints from the present and the past, to make the next fair the bost ever held; and we shall, therefore, walk over the course. Ihave no notion that a foreign Suir | held at Kerervoir equare cen drive us out of tho field. Let them tell the American people that it ie to bo exclusively foreigy, and they will not bs able to take dollars enevgh to pay their exponees. | | believe we can make a fair of our own that will teach all others who come here for that purpose thet they are meddiers. It will be well forthe ecmmittce to consider this thing, and look into it; | snd we, meantime, cun do tao same thing, so that by next month we may bo abie cithor to adopt | what they propose, er have something better of | ourown. Ifsn application is made fers chartor, | We cannot oppose if, for it would come with a bad | | i} a nd 5 grace from us to do so; and if they can do Bott r than we can they deserve to be sup- ported, ard we ought to give way to them.

Mr. Exverte—I want to know what the natare of the project ts? Col. Hoz —The plans are all in Wall street, aud are after the fashion of the Crystal Palace, for building which Mix Paxton has carried off all the credit. 1 do not object to his getting what oredit is dueto him. I sawthe conservatory built by Mr. Paxton for the Duke of Devonshire, andI saw the Crystal Palace. They are very different. Th Crystal Palace, and the manner in which it is g togetber, so noarly resembles the plan of James Bo- gardus—the planof building iron houses—that it must have been copied from him. It could not have been done otherwise. It wont up like magio; went up in # few days, as the papers stated. It was ime because they took the pattern of Mr. Begardus. tie possible that two men living in different places may invent the same thing; but the man that is first generally gots credit for the invention, and as Mr. Bogardus, in this cage, was a little ahead, wo claim for him the meritof the invention. With ro- gard to admtting foreign manufactures, anpere the gentlemen of the project up town will i everything that is novel from every quarter, and they will take in also a good deal thas is not. (Laughter ) Mr + Expette—I have yet vo learn what the distia- guisbing seature of this now project is. 1 have been familiar with Mr. Bogardus from my apprenties- ship ops and I know that the London gentiomsn took the pattern from him. In fact, be told me so. Col. Hoz—He never told me, but I believe it. Mr. Exsserrs—He told me. Now, if they send their foreign articles here we are likely to benefit from their inventions. J want to ask the sister so- oiotics in the different cities to assist us in getting up @ fair; and if they do, we shall not be beaten. Tb no fear for the articles manufactured by Americanmechanics. Foreigners cannot beat us in anything, except in watch movements; and Mr. Bogardus would have orgagedin that business too, but be found that the price of labor was too high to compete with the foreign article. Mr. Nasu (with great vehemence and violont ges ticulation)—! gek, now ig i: that. without a dollar to back us, can we compste with a sosieiy that will get a obarter for five years, and that has a million of dollars at ite back? And, I ask, whother it will not be our utter annihilation? ‘The way in which Mr. Nash articulated tho last word, caused roars of laughter. Mr. Van Busxirx—No price that mey eolipso the American Institute ought to be tolerated. (Great laughter.) Gentlemen may laugh, but if the foreygnerscan bring up anything to outshine the American institution, 1 am opposed to it, (Re- nowed laughter ) : bate Gxxse then moved to lay the resolution on able. The quertion was put from the chair, whon it ap- peared there were twenty six in favor of laying on the table, and only one against. Mr. Naso—Now I movo that we remonstrate with tho Legislature against any law inoorporating be éociety for holding the fair of the Crystal Pa- lace. It was then moved that this resolution be laid on the table, and the motion was carried, 20 voting for and 4 against. The Institute then adjourned to the next monthly meeting. ~ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, MONKY MARKET, Faivar, Maroh 6—6 P. M.
