The following extract from a letter, written by Com: | modore Vanderbilt tos friend in this city, has been | handed us for publication -— Sovraurroy, Jure 1, 1853, You will recollect that we left the Navy Yard ata fow | minutes before 8 o'clock P, M., on Friday, the 20th ult, | and thet I told you, when I left, of my intestion to ran across toSoutbampten at arate of about 250 miles tn | each twenty four hours, As my journey would be a | Pong one, sad as I meant ty have the ship ia such order | es our arrival ina foreign country a to bea crodit to | our “Yankee lard,” I did not wish to hazurd this by making any attewpt to obtain high rates of speed, but, m finding the ebip, in the Srst twenty Lours out, to make 272 miles instead of 250, the rate I bad calculated from the cumber of turns her engines were making, I was somewhat astoviched. At this rate she would shorten the time I bad given her; but as she moved along with sueb perfect ease I concluded to keep ber to thi, | ac it was somewhat troublesome to let her go slower. | My firemen being mostly “green hands,” picked off the | wherf at the moment of starting, and knowing but little of making a fife, [theught it prudent, therefore, to let ‘bings be for a few days, and requested the engineer to Jook elozely to the Gremen, We proceeded slong at this rate for about six Gays, and tbe pasty were so elated and pressed so hard to let her make one day’s ron, that I finally told the engineer that he might let her engines make 143, revclusions per minute for twenty-four hours, Dut no higher would I permit him to ge. Whenever he rated a particle above this I compelled him to shut the throtile valve and confine her to the 1434. To my astonish ment, at the end of twenty-four hours, she bad made three hundred and forty four miles—a greater distance, by twenty four miles, than ever was made from New York to Europe—according to Stuart’s sccount of mail steamers. From that time her throttle valve has uever been epened beyond one third—consamption of coal bsing com thirty seven to forty tons per day, and running at the rato cf three hundred miles, or thereadouts, with fhe greatest esse, Ido not know how fast to rate her eapacity for speed, if driven for a short prssage—as it was, the passage was made in ten days, eight hours aud | forty minutes, from pilot to pilot, This makes the trip shorter than I meant to have made it; but, as we were Gelayed in New York some thirty-four bours, by touchiug | om the rock—including the detention #t the Navy Yard— Teoneluded, to gratify the ladies, to make up the lost time by a little extra speed, The party are ali well, and in good spirits, I must re- | mark that the engines were only stopped once on the pas- page, and that was for the short space of one hour, for @riving up some of the keys, There never was a hot jeurnai on board. In fact, ‘she worked Like 2 charm.’ i Coal cousumed, five hundred and twesty-one tons, [From the Loudon Times, June 3 J ‘The American steam yacht North Star came into the | tidal basin of ube Suuthampton ducks Wednesday (June Ast,) evening. and to-day has been the object of general atteation.

When Boz weat to New York some years ago, and a eiique of ardent persons—not without, at the same time, sp eye to the main chsnce—got up a splendid reception for him; and when the people—the mass—gathered to- gether to stare at what was going on, it wonld have been agreat mistake of the English if they bad thought that all this wax an endorsement of the American people upon Boz, Bat it would be a gross departure from truth to represent the reception of Mrs. S. in England as anything to be compared with that of Boz, or other such-like clap-irap affairs in America.

The other artioles of the eonvention atipniated that the Greek Church shou'd constantly be placed on the footing of the most fuvored Christian nation and should participate in all favors and privileges granted to other churches, that at Jerusalem the relation of Grveks and Lating shovld remaia unchanged; that the two Inst | firmans crated to Russia on the holy place: should be confiimed by the Snltao, and placed under the sanction of this treaty: and that leave spvald be grantet Lo eract a Greek chureb and hospital at Jerusalem, to bs served by Rassian priesta. These propositions were seceded to by the Porte, with the exeeption of the first. The rejes tion of that article was the express ground of Prinos Menechikotf's departure It will be seen that. as we have more than onee ob- served, the Rusrian demand did not include any ehange m the nominetion of the Patriarch, nor any overt aatto: rity over the clergy, nor suy interference with the tem- ma allegiance of the Greek populecion ta the Porte. al these points there has been x good den! of #x+ggn- ration, Which of cour places the came against Ravaia oa a fale ana insecure foundation, The phrassology of the objectionablé article is, in feet, so mild and guasded; Ives to that of a pew occupa: | the evormous sacrifices which they made there.

However mild ia form, Russia knows that this article, if conosles would suffice for her purpose; and the argument derived from tle seeming innocence ofgthe proj fa lost in the yehemence and the threats by which it was supported. concession were too alight» mattor for Turkey resclately to refuse, it would alao be trve that such # demand is an adsurd acd uateaanle ground of a diplomatic ruptare, which has brougat {wo einpires to the brink of hostilities. We differ, t! fore, from the inference which the Journal des Dibus draws from these papers, when it argnes that the differ ence is too slight to lead to serious consequeaces. But the French jourmal makes a further allegation, which waterially affects the case, and would even throw ‘a doubt on the consistency of the British goverameat, An attempt is made to show that this proposal was orig.aally put forward on the 22d of March, iacludiag the draught of s treaty, and that its existence must, therefore, have b»en. known to Lord Ciarenden when he stated in the House of Lords, on the 26th of April, that the British goverameat was still disposed to rely on the assurances that had been given to all kuroge, and especialy to our Ministers, upoo the word of honor of the Emperor Nicholas, This pact of the ease requires some further explanation, and it will ba found not w support the inuendo which the Journal des Débats rests upon it. It is true that at an earlier period of bis mission Prince Menschikoff did put forward a scheme of @ convention; and that oue of his first acts was to endeavor to eres oe Porte by intimidation, from communicating the pending negotiations to the Mix- isters of France and Englard. la this, however, he failed, and on the arrival of Lord Stratford aud M De la Cour they found that someching had been said of such a convention, which extended evea fur- ther than that subsequently proposed on the Oth of May, and included, we believe the uomiagton or investiture of the Patriarch of Conatantinopie. Bat no rooner was this fact known to the Dritish Ambassador than he remonstrated against such a project, @s incon- tept with the promises given at St. Veteraburg, and with the iade nea of Turkey. The consequence was that Prince Menschikoff withdrew his first demand, end led his diplomatic colleagues to believe that he had aban- doned it, as, in fact, he bad in that form; aud it mast bave been under the impression that such a’ project had never been seriously entertained, and was at ouce aban doned on their remonstrauces, that the British gov- ernment repeated its declaration of confidence in the as- surance of Russia, Taking into account the time which clapsed between the withdrawal of the first convention, proposed on the 22d of March, and the arrival of the courier who reached Constantinople on the 4th of Muy, there is strong ground to conjecture that Prinos Menachi- koff wrote to St. Petersburg for ulterior instractions p after his first check, and received them at the later date in the form ef tho last convention. The note which accompanied it expressly declared that “it had undergone alterations, in compiiance with the objections urged by Rifast Pacha,’ and add- ed thet the new draught was annexed ia the hope that “the expectations of the Emperor would uot this time be deceived.” If there alterations had been those of Menschikoff himeelf, he would not have required nearly six weeks to revise his proposition; but the delay considerably augments the presumption that a reference was mace to St. Petersburg. Wnile, therefore, the fo- reign ambassadors were lulled by the belief that the do- mand which had been made and withdrawa was defiai- tively abandoned, the Russian envoy was ouly preparing to return to the charge. It is enticely erroneous to a3- sert or insinuate that the scheme, if known to the Bri- tish government or ambassador, excited anything but its strong reprobation; and the fact that the first schem was modified and abandoned, may have been regarded as an additional proof at that time of the sincerity of the Russian government. We coufine ourselves, on the present occasion, to a statement of these communicatious as we believe them to e been made, and we shall only remark that the de- lay which took piace between the firat and second Rus- h propositions seems to exclude the possibility of Prince Meuschikoff's having acted without full instract- ions and authority on the 5th of May, aud it also renders it more improbable that the Emperor Nicholas wili dasist from pretensious which he thonght fit to advance in such & form and after full deliberation. The Advance In the Rate of Discount In Lon- don—Highly Important to Merchants, [rom the London Times, June 3.) An advance in the bank rate of discount is at all times & portens in the mercantile world; but, coming now in the bright month of June, at a timo of geaeral prosperity, with tne balance of trade inan unusually safe state, ‘and no oné brauch of speculation in evident excess, the por- tent comes like the flash of lightning ia a cloudless sky orthe ‘thunder and rain in tbe wheat harvest’ ol | Syria, During the last five years such a ilood of the pre- | cious metals has poured into this country as was before | inconceivable; and during the last week alone gold has | been arriving at the average rate of vot Jeas than 4 ton aday. Cousols are 14 per cen: higher than they were in November, 1848, and have remained so long above par as to Batter us lt with the hope of being able to reduce the interest of the cebt to 23 per cent. Yes tae bank flads it can safely demand as much as 31g per cect from ity best customers, So great a chesk, in spite of favorable Appearances, andafter all eliciting’ no other remark thin @ little natural remonstrance against such sudien strokes of mercantile policy, does really sucge-t mo.e reflection than a similar occurreace on the eve of ex- pected disaster, We should be slarmists if we said that there was at this momevt any reasonable or geaeral un- ticipation of dificulty and collapse. No manufactur has been overdone; no trade pushed too far, no unders takin g+ pledged beyond the limits of easy performanss, avd ro mijhons cast on the waters in tha shape of lonas to ingolyent or revolucionary States. Joha Ball, usually creduiour, easy, tanguine and most ineootinent of bis cash, has not yet cessed to ruminate over the decenni il catastiophes that buve attlicved nis purse. He te w rich man, and one that Lath had losses, and his losses are fresh enongh to wake him almost too cautious What, then, is there that should lead our great capituli to tighten the reins of confidence just at this moment? Their in- stinet is not to be impugned, for habit gives them a spe cial sense of mercantile credit, They may not look very fat—nor need they luok yery far—sinco e-edit is only a question of the day, and séquires but a narrow, though 8 nice and exact observation. Perhaps the chief cause of this comparative tigh‘ness, which bas gradually come on with so little to account for | is, i» the usual oné--speculation; but in the more ordi nsry and uniform shape of what fs called general prosper- ; ity. It by the test of trade returns, of customs and of excise, the expenditure of this country is now greater than it has ever been, there must be a great amount of aptculation. To spead is to invest, and to invest is to speculate, or to lsy out in the bope of return. In fsct, there never was more building going on than just at tuis moment; never did land in the neighborhood of the me tropclis und other large cities commuud eo high a price; never were so maby manufastories, warehouses, shops, publichoures, built or enlarged; ever wus there so much ship building, especially in the more costly kinds, in nag Diligent mercantile steamers; never were there 60 many people said to be making their fortunes; never woe artisans, and evem laborers, so well paid; never was there 80 uch spent io luxuries, in dress, in amasements, io ecucation, and in all that fluctuates with wealth or credit, Never was there so much spent in rail way travel- | pg: and just pow it must not be forgotten that there is arevival of railway expenditure in the shave of new | braxebes and improvements, made with the object of se curing trafic fom competition. One company alove has recently ruised more than turee millions io shares for this purpose; and others, on the like plea of seli-defenca, are rating Vhgdcags tums, Now, ali this is specula- tion, largely, equaily, and so far safely diffused, Tho farmer speculates when he raises his wages; the liborer | when he consumes more bacon and beer; the parent when he seuds another son to school; the village trades- man when he takes a journeyman iato his service, aud altows another munth’s credit to hiscustomers. A’ very thght survey of the country will show aa unexampled prevalence of speculation :n its usual. its local, and its domestic Jorms, but constituting an eygregate as grea‘, thongh not #s formidable, ay the passing of railway acts t the amount of a handred miilions of money resvion, or Joans of thirty millions to Central and American republics. On speculation of this universal, aniform, and regular character, we have two remarks t) make; first, that it is cne wore than usucly absorbant of the 'p metals: then that it is coraparatively safe, As to the firet point, we have very little doubt that there is more monty sfloat in this couctry then there ever was b —not only hoarded or deposited, but, so to speak, ia the pa of the people, and “ frucufyicg’’ accordingly. ine working classes ficd an extreme difficulty of invest ment im this country—hardly any alternative, indeed. except the two and three qusrters per cent given by the net infailivle ravings banks, the certain ruin of the public house, the probable ruta of the snop, aud the five per ceut offered by the tradesman or lawyer, who may or rowy not ever give back the principal.

Batisto, with coarse cords, is much ured for rkirts, casaques, redipgotes, &c.; aud on ac- count of the firmness of the texture, and its property of preserving its dazzling whiteness, it 1s in great favor for children’s dresses. e buyadéres dresses are still in favor also; but there is a demand for the new taffetas with crossed stripes; the bodies worm with which are composed entirely of horizontal bouilonnés. There has been some doubt expressed as te whether the fancy rice straw bonnets would be again worn by isdies of demded fashion; but they are so becoming and beautiful | that they have beea accepted anew, aud will be much adopted. They are oftea simply trimmed with ornaments of the rae material, and take their placa with those of crape, tulle, or taffetas, The form of tho boanet is still very open, the crown falling bebind. The embroidered horrebair, the guipure of Rorsebair, end open worked straw bonnets are still in fayor; flowers are much used as the trimmings, both inside and outside. ‘The various materials in designs, and the trimudugs in nesermmentesie, are so bigh ia price that one is often at » fons how to decide on a uegligee dress.
