Amidst ail the talk of glory, of eading civilizae tion, of migcions, of freeing op eed colonies aad | nations, and so on, there 1s, veep downin every scheme of the sort, w solid object, of which nothing | is usually said. The upper chamber of the American | arliament—the Senate—is an anomelous institu- | Eon. ‘The House of Representatives is returned on the basis of numbers—a member for every popula- tion ef so many thousand (at present somewhat above 70,000). The Senate consists of two members from every State, that the smaller States may not be swamped by the more populows—an anomalous reagon in regard toa Congress which professes to exist, not asa league of Stutes, bu; asthe govern- ment of the whole nation, within certain fixed limits. Mr. Madison used to say of the Senate, | ae look well in theory, and fail in prac- | tice. This may not be justidable in theory; but it | works well.” Tho slave-holding States had an enormous advan- | tage given to them at the outset The electors re- | turn a number of representatives as the representa- tives of slaves—a fiction, of course Three-fifths of | slaves count as whites, without having, of | course, any rights. Notwithstauding this, the increase of Fepuetiba in the free States is ao | much greater than that of the slave States, that | the slavs-holding interest would or might be | swamped at any moment, if the Southern men did not keep up their equality in the | Senate. The Senate is their sheet-anchor. But | there aro unsettled lands to the northwost—north of the slave line—which will, from time to time, be | opled, and raised into States. It is to provide a Palsnce for these—to keep at least one Stute ahead —that the Southern men are grasping at new terri- | voy which is south enough for their purpose. They | reckoned that Texas would cut up into five States, giving them ten members, to set against the sena- tors who would, in a few years, be eent from Iowa and Wieconsin, and the neighboring lands, now fast filling from Europe. Mexico is ready to their hand; and Cuba, with her train of attendant isles, will bea | great prize—if they can getit. It is the greatest possible mistake to suppose that the onemies of sla- very would not object to the ‘fair purchase” of Cuba. Soy do object to the idea, and they will | object to the act of paying away tho national money for a new territory which virtuous citizens | do not want, and for tho sole purpose of strengthen- | ing the slave- holding interest in tne general govern- | ment, and, consequently, throughout the American dominions. We, in England, who have made some Bacrifioes for the abolition of every may be unable to do moro than think, feel, and speak, when the Americans annex lands in the wild West; but when they threaten the dominions of an European power wo may be able to act, in bar of the extension of | American slavery. It is as well to understand the | facts, in cage the opportunity should be thrust | L) Dn Us. in But,” come will say, “surely it may be left to the Americars themselves to curb the slave-holdiog | interest. If the free States have an equal represen: tation in the one chamber, and a superior one in the other, why not leave it to them to do what is meces- | sary e Ay, why not? Our answer is worth tho attention of those who think it uncivil and un- | ly to tax ‘the Americans” with the social disease which is supposed to exist in only a portion ofthe Union. Let tho facts which we aro about to tell for themselves, as to how far the respon- sibilities of the slaveholder are shared by the rest of the nation. name of Mr. Benton is well known as that o anaged Senator, who has, for a long course of years, reprerented Mirsouri in the Senate. Mr. Bouton, | who is a slaveholder, and his party have fallen out; and one charge of t! e party ia that he is notso zealous on dehalf of slavery as he used to be—a chai which he indignantly denies. In a speech made by him at St. Louis, this last summer, he | gives us his view of tho a*titude of the Norta in regard to slavery. He tells that it is faise and wicked to say that the free S:ates have interfered with the South, or injured slavery in any way; and he goes onto show how the area of slavery hasbeen extended by the efforts of the North He tells us that ‘‘the area of slavery has been doubled in the | United States, and by tho help of the free States, dur- ing the last thirty years ” He bids usremember that the freo States have beena majority during all that time—that without their vote, anda heavy vote, no- thing cou!d have been done. He tells, first, what new territories have been added—such as Louisiana and Florida; and then, what ‘free soil has been made slave soil, by law.” He tella, in the next place, how the Indians have beon removed from their native lands, and hownegro slaves have been draughted | into their place, and “slavery thus extended toa | large district where it did not exist before.” He tolls of four States which have been disencumbered | of the Indians, and have had their slavo ares ‘“‘aear- | doubled within the last few years; all by the in- | pensables help of free soil votes, and at a grea’ expense of morey”’—-an expense which he calculates | at 100,000,000 dollarse—insluding the cost of the | Seminole war. ‘ Now,” continues the old senator, | “not one inch of this foreign slave torritory coald | have been acquired, not one individual of those In- | dians could have been removed, not one acre of their | Indian Jand could have been converted into slave | land, not one dollar of all this hundred millions could have been voted, except by the help of the non-laycholding votes.” bs It is not often that politicians furnish us with so plain a statement of what our feelings of kindness and courtesy would make us hesitate to tell them | with equal plainness It is s welcome state- ment to us, for we knew before its shameful truths; we felt the necessity that the world should know them; and we are only too happy to be able to tell the story in American words. Henceforth, if charged | with severity in imputing to the representatives of | the American nation the diegraces of slavery, we | have only to rofer the objestor to Mr. Bonton’s | speech to the citizens of St. Louis, in this year, | Dr It dacs not follow that all Americans are to be ia- | eluded under the consure. There ia a noble band of | citizens, ecantily represented in Congress, but very | active in the State, who are far above our praise, in Togard to their efforts and sacrifices. Bat it is clear that American honor and integrity are not safe in | the bands of the existing American represontation.

W: for all kinds of labor had risen, Se kony pies ith the profits of gold hunting, and carriage from Mel- bourne to the diggings was £100 a ton, or even higher. Of course, very great inducements were required to provent sailors from Ceetyen and to Bet ships out of port. The population of ellbourm had already increased to such an extent that th sands were living in tents in the surrounding fields, and the cry was ‘Still they come” How fer that expectation likely to be further fulfilled, we ia this country have some means of judging. Ts is os- timated that in the course of this year 100,000 per- sons will have left the British isles for tho different Australian colonies, may, all these, first or last, destined te reach, if not the diggings, at least the greater part of these 100,000 are already on their way, in mid sea, and in the southerm homisphere. Tho rest are oer- tain to follow. The above aro not probabilities, but facts; and what do they come to? They come to this, that the population of all our Australian colonies, which pee to this discovery was considerably undor alfa million, will be increased by next spring— thatis, by next Australian cutuma—to somewhere about 650,000, of which 100,000 must bo set down es the abnormal increase over and above the na- tural increase and the ordinary immigration. Now, the question which we beg to ask, and to which the above remarks are introduotory, is— Where aro these 100,000 to get bread ? Bupponing there to be about enough for 550.000, there woul: remain a great deficiency to be filled up from some querter or other. ht gd knows that a defi- ciency that appears small compared with the total amount of the supply, and the whole number of mouths to be filled, may easily produce an actual famine, for a large proportion of the prople can and will get enough, leaving the deficiency to be borne by those who carnot. Tho deficiency which caused our own dreadful famine in 18467, which cost 200,- 000 deaths, and £10,000,000, was not larger, com- pared with the whole British population and re- sources, than what we have just described as likely to occur between this and the next harvest, if it is not already felt in our Australian colonies To many, the idea of a famine in Australia, except by some failure of the crops, will scem the height of absur- city; becauge people have been accustomed to think its capabilities inexhaustible. Its capabilities, how- ever, are nothing to the purpose just now, seeing that men cannot live on capabilities. Bread inesse not tn posse, is what we want today, and in fact till next harvest, whenever that may be. So we muat put the fertility of the soil, the regularity of the seasons, and other such future considerations, wholly out of tho question, and confiny ourselves to the actual supply. Inthe absence of information | as to the produce of the last Australian harvest, or the quantity of land under wheat and other white crops for the next, we have to ask whether it is to be much larger than usual. Not at ail likely we should think. Sixty thousand able bodied men can’t be aig ing for gold in one place, and some twenty or thirty thousand in other places, bo- sides many thousands employed in building houses, carrying stores and materials, without draining the labor market and supandine. many ordinary opera- tions. If flocks of sheep have gone unshorn, and even untended, for want of hands, tillage, which demands muzh more labor, must have suffered in proportion, and we may too confidently conclado that the aggregate yield of the last harvert and of the next would not be above the average, but rather below. Australia, as a whole. has only produced enough for its owa purposes. Whatit might have done, as we have already observed, is a question quite beside the purpose. A few thousand quacters are all that it has ever experted to othor countries. If it has hitherte only produced enough for half a million, it will not, Sean appt ‘ing summer, produce enough for 650,000. Bat Chili, we are told, is within reach, and can supply an unlimited quantity of corn, a3 it does al- Here are three distinc: oon- siderations. From Melbourne to Valparaiso and k is about 17,000 miles, being right across the Pacific, and cannot be done in much less than three months, under the most favorable circumstances. Deficiencies are seldom found out quite in time, un- | less they are customary and expected, which this is not; but when the remedy take: near three months to operate, it will be of little use whon the famine has already set in. Thon there appears to bo great apoale in Getting ships out of the Australian ports, even when they are under engagement to return to ‘a port of their own. Much greater difficalty will thoro be to get off ships ow voyage altogether. Tho €ifficulty, as indicated and measured by the wages de- manded by sailors, is much greater in the case of ships bound to the porta of the Pasific, than ia the case of those bound to the United States, or the British Islea, or even to India. Yot, in the face of these difficulties, forty ships, each of 500 tons bur- den, would be necessary to bring from Chili the quantity of corn scion to make up the robable deficiency of the next Australian harvest ut, supposing all these difficulties got over, there remain two other rather adverse considerations the limits to production in Chili, aud the fact that redundant ene is already engaged in Califor- nia. At the last date from Valparaiso, September 2, a vessel had arrived from Port Philip, which it left on July 28, in quest of flour and provisions, and was aerated to find them so high, in conse- uence of the Californian demand. The price of our at Port Philip, at the above date, only six months after the Jast harvest, wa £25 a ton—a price that would amply remunerate any importer from the shores of the Atlantic. These advices, there- fore, fe us with the fact of a short supply at Port Philip, an attempt to recruit it from Chili, and a certain amount of disappointment caused by the effect of the large Californian demand on the Chilian market. We are justified, then, in feeling some apprehensions as to the possible state of things before the next Australian harvest is got in, with more than 100,000 new mouths added to the demand, with the regular operations of industry much inter- rupted, and with the population much displaced and disorganized. ‘The only practical object to which these remarks can tend is, that while we send out additional mouths to Australia, we eught also to send out ad- ditional food. If for every five emigrants there were also chipped a ton of flour, or even half a ton, that would save each now cargo of emigrants from bei perhaps, a sericus infliction on the port it ar- rives at. It is true, that by the timo the vessels now about to enil arrive at Port Philip, a new vest will have been got in, and there will be no im- mediate davger; but, under tho circumstances we have described, the duce of that harvest may not suffice for more than nine months consumption, | and the deficiency may not be discovered till it is too late to make it up. Last year, it is true, flour was sent from England, and proved a loss to the mor- chant, as by the time it had arrived at Port Philip the price had declined to £8 or £9 per ton. As it has since risen, however, to £25, at the same place. it is evident that with proper com- mercial arrangements, and with due patience, the speculation would not have been a failure. But at that timo there had not been anything like the immigration we now witness from the mother country. Our people at home were rery, slow to take the hiat, even with the success of Catifornia | before their eyes; and long after the most astonish- ing news from Australia, it was a common remark that we were exporting thither more goods than men. It is quite the revorse now. There oan be no doubt as to the immenso number of mouths we ace sending out, but we do not hear of a correspoud- ing export of food. The pinch, of course, must come during the two or three months before the Australian harvest, that is, betwoon this and February. If there be bed ining f of the kind already, it is toe late for us to remedy; but we shall, at least, have time to prevent ite recurrence next year.

The outward voyage occupied only 12 days and 18 hours, steaming with the m1 obinery new and untried, ond not working emootaly and catisfactorily, a3 is will be made to do oa eab- sequent voyages, after being adjusted in many little essex tials during the fortnight’s rest at Southamp- ton. The homeward voyage, which at first pro- mised to be a 12 days’ run, bas, however, occupied 13 days and 10 hours’ steaming; but, when the foregoing table is analyzed, it will be fouad that, in reality, the homeward voyage of this noble ship is @ wost wonderful performannoe, when the wea- ther is taken into account. On the seventh day outwards she had stoamed 1,801 miles, being at the | rate of 267 miles per day, ot 103 kuots per hour; but on the eeventh day homeward sho had steame: 1,£96 miles, boing at the rate of 271 miles por day, or 11} knots per hour. Consequently, as she was thus about 100 miles ahead on the homeward voyage, there is every reason to suppose that had the weather kept moderate the run would have beea a 12 days’ one, if not under that timo. When it is borne in mind, that ‘‘ with strong ad- | verse gales,” wie ses running, and much water being shipped, La Plata steamed her 229 miles, beicg upwards of 9} knots per hour, it may reason- ably be presumed that this ship is equal to run across the Atlantic to or from the West Indies in 12 days; that with heavy weather during part of the voyage she will do itin 13 days, and that in the | winter eesson Gurirg the heaviest weather she will rform the run in 13} or l4daye; the latter even being one day less than allowed by government, and although La Piata left St. Thomas's considerable ‘the proper time, on account of the Dee not being this reminds us that on the present occasion, that back from Mexico in due time, yet. Ls Plata, oven egainst head winds during the latter part of ber voyage, has arrived at Southampton before her mails were due there. There is no doubt that the introductory voyage ef this fine steamebip has been very satisfactory. The averago of speed does not yet come up to soma of the most favorable averages of the Collins and Cunard lines, but no ship should be judged by her first performances, t is invariabiy tound that ocean steamers generally do not attain their maxi- mum rate of ont till severa] voyages have been performed, and till the most suitable trim bas been aecertained, ard the machinery is properly worked to its bearings, whereby unnecessary tigit- ness aud friogion of the working parts are removed St. Fhomas ie upwards of six hundrod miles fur- ther from Southsmpton than New York is from Liverpool; steamers on the West India route, thero- fore. are necessitated to fo to sow with nearly two hundred tons more fuel, aud with a greater weight of water and provision stores than would be required for the New York voyage. This is a disadvautage which, owing to the greater immersion in the earlier part of the passage, materially reduces the apced of the vessel, and consequently lessons tho general avorage of speed when contrasted with the mileage mado by the American steamers. Even with these drawbacks, it is conjectured that Ls Plata will eventually show as high an avorage as any of the British or American stesmers at provont eniployed in crossing the Atlantic ocean. iy Whe Corn Trade of Europe.

[From the London News, Oct, 22 | A very useful project is being brought out under ithe designation of the * Loudon, Liverpvol, and North American Scrow Steamship Company.’ The object of the company is to establish an economics, expeditious, and direct steam communication for Re and passengers, between London, Liverp.0!,the Jnited States, and the British North American c»lo- nies. The steamers will leave London and Liverpool al- ternately for Now York throughout the year; for Can- ada.aud New/oundland, from March to October; and during the remainder of the year, in order that the communication with Canada may not be wholly intor- rupted, they will call at Portland, in the State of Maine, between which port and Quebec and Mont- | real arailway is now in course ef construction. During the season it is contomp!ated that the com- any’s steamers S| run straight up to Quebec or Montreal, where they will be in communication with steamers plying to Lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron, Michigan, and touching at all the ports on the route. When the line is established it will pro- bably cause a great diversion of the Lake prodace, which now pagses in @ great measure through tho United States to the Atluntic sea-board. Tho Island of Newfoundland, so long deprived of the advan- tages of steam communication, will also be included in the route of the company’s steamers, and ‘it is therefore probable the association will seoure tho bounty offered by the colonial | zislature. The company is at present provisionally registered, un- der the Joint Stock Companies act, but a charter has been applied for, and will in all probability be readily secured, until which time only a deposit of 2s. ee hare is to be payable. The capital is fixed at £600,000, in £20 shares, and the committee ia- civdes some of our most influential firms connected with both branches of our North American trade. Commercial Affeirs.
