The existence of such a was, however, ured by those who be- d that an available route might be discovered een one of the ports on the northern coast of londuras and the Bay of Fonseca, or Conchagua, h the Pacific. To survey this line and report on practicability, the projectors in the early part of year sent out two agents, Mr. E. G. Squier, a ghly intelligent traveller, and Lieutenant Jeffers, the Uni States navy. It is from the prelimi: notes to a report on the proposed Honduras pteroceanic hear which have only very recent: been published in New York by the first named entleman, that we have derived the information hich we now proceed to lay before the public. The spot selected for the northern terminus of his projected railway is Puerto Caballos, in the yy of Honduras, not far from Omoa. In respect if capacity and security it is stated to be the best ost on the Atlantic between New York and Rio niero; it is easy of entrance and exit, and the beality is considered highly favorable for the ib] ent of a large city. The Bayof Fonseca, he southern extremity, is indisputably the largest, ind in all respects the best, harbor on the Pacific oast of the American continent. The distance tween the two ports is a hundred and fifty niles, in a direction due north and south; and he proposed route, which nearly coincides with the beridian, and lies between the parallels of 87 deg. nd 88 deg.west longitude, no where varies five miles om aright line. After traversing a portion of the partment of Omoa, the route crosses the river lua at a short distance below {ts junction with ihe Humuya, which latter it skirts on its right jr eastern bank to the city of Comayagua, the pital of Honduras, situated nearly midway be- een the two oceans. The line then ascends the ley of the Humuya till it reaches the Cordilleras which here bear the name of the Lepaterique nountains), and maybe conducted by two separate passes into the of the Goascoran, until it es the Pacific, rat the town of La Union the island of Sacate Grande, both in the Bay of Fonseca. The latter is considered the preferable point, as La Union is in the republic of Salvador. “ All the materials necessary for the constraction bf the road exist,” says Mr. Squier, “ on the line. ‘here are inexhaustible quantities of the finest hite and blue marble and sandstone, as also of the best pine, oak, and other varieties of useful timber. he country, with the exception perhaps of a nar- alee = the ner i noes, a pate eee nd salubrious, proper for employment of tra-tropical Tabor. Tn the latter respect’ (that of bor) the proposed line is eminently favored; for hatever amount may be required can be obtained from the mahogany-cuttings on the coast.” As the prehended difficulty was ex- ected in leras, it was to the exami- pation of that chain that Mr. Squier gave his first mmencing his reconnaissance on the he ascended the valley of the Goasco- mn, which conducted him to the of Rancho higuito, at an elevation of 2,300 feet above the el of This is a natural meadow, or ning north ik and left E i : » Which joins the Ulua and discharges itself into the Atlantic, between Puer- o Sal and Puerto Caballos. Mr. Squier was pf opinion that this summit—to reach which the maximum grades would nowhere exceed 70 feet in the mile, and that only for short distances— ‘was not unfavorable to the construction of the line, nd this opinion was confirmed by the profes- sional dictum of Lieutenant Jeffers; but bein; inclined to think that a lower pass might be found, the sought one somewhere further to the westward, in the parallel valley of @ururu, or Guajoca, where, in a savannah like the first, the Atlantic and Pacific waters flow also from twin sources, at an elevation of one hundred feet less than the pass of Rancho “The relative advantages of these two passes,” obeerves Lieutenant Jeffers, ‘‘ can only be establshed by a detailed survey. The pass eiastio pga more favorable ground for the de- to plain; that of Guajoca,a better route from the valley of the Rancho Grande, with a less elevation.” ¢ distance by the pass of Guajoca is also described as being rather longer, and deviatin, ‘more from aright line than that by Rancho Chi- ito. But whichever route may be eventually de- upon, both are tly direct. “ The coun- try is open and free of dense forests, thus avoiding, sy Spee the expense of clearing and grul san abundance of fine timber on the e i to it, is a soft ich whic may be cut almost ag as clay, ith the advantage of of vertical walls, and not requiring bal- ast fc road bed; abundance of fine marble and er stone for abutments and mortar; a country cool and entirely salubrious; the magnificent bay Fonseca, where men, tools, and provisions may be my a for a gee of ean and the —_ plain of Comayagua, in the very centre of the work, for the other.” The longer division of the line, from Puerto Caballos to Comayagua, numerous facilities for the construction of a y- ‘Quite fifty miles will be over a level or an ascent so gentle as hardly to be per- , and on that of the line which lays on bank of the Humuya the alternation of cut and favorable.” Another it advanta; the section of the road is the of the river Ulua and Humnya, which be ascended by vessels drawing seven feet of for half the year, as high as the mouth of the & Fae peere = He to tac coast.

In the British House of Lords on the 27th ult., the Earl of CLarENnvon said—I wish to say a few words in reply to what has 2 fallen from the noble earl. On the occasion to which my noble friend alludes, a noble lord not now present, (the Earl of Malmes- bury,) intimated to me that he intended to put to me a question Sg weg an announcement in the newspapers that the Russian fleet was out in force in the Black Sea, and that large bodies of troops had been carried to the neighborhoods of Varna, Odessa, and Sebastopol. My noble friend asked whether that announcement was correct or not, and I gave him, almost verbatim, the account which had been received from Admiral Dundas himself, which was, that the report rested on the statement of the captain of a merchant ship, who had been examined by Sir E. LF Sa and that it was clear from the evi- dence of the man himself that he could not have been in a position to see the Russian fleet. I there- fore expressed my belief that the report was not true. I now, my Yords, repeat what I then said. The Russian fleet, to the best of our knowledge at this moment, has not come out of Sebasto- pol, and did not, at the time when it was re- ported to have done £0, convey troops from one ortion of the Black Sea to another. Now, what lid oceur? Two vessels, I believe, a French and an English steamer, were sent to survey the Circassian coast. During their cruise they saw five small steam- ers that had been receiving the Russian troops from different fortresses along the shore of the Black Sea, which fortresses had been destroyed. I must say, that the fact of the Rassians having, of their own accord, and before any declaration of war was made, evacuated and destroyed these fortresses, which they had for years béen building at so much cost and trouble, is some prot that we, and not they, were masters of the Black Sea. The fortresses were | Observed to be burning, and the steamers—which ‘Were not war steamers, but small vessels employed in the post-office service between Odessa, Sebasto- ‘ol, and Constantinople—as soon as they saw the glish and French ships, made for the shore, transport was, howevgy, boarded, and was ordered to repair to the nea cag port, in pursuance of the instructions issued to the combined fleets in December last. Now, when Admiral Dundas and his officers are accuséd of not having made priso- ners of these troops, it must be remem) that the occurrence took place on the 15th or 16th of March, and that war was not even declared in Eng- land until the 29th of March. It was therefore im- a for the combined fleets to act otherwise han they did, in obedience to their instructions. The Earl of Exnensoroven hoped the noble earl yas not under the impression the Russians had destroyed all their forte. They had, he believed, destroyed only. six forts out of twenty-two. The Marquis of Crannicanns.—| trost there will be no objection on the part of her Majesty's govern ment to lay on the table of the House the last des- patches which have been received on this Bos nee afd any other despatches which may be ives The Russa guyermment has issued a public official account of the trasaction, and that account differs very widely from the statement of the noble Secretary for ae Affairs. I have not the paper with me, because I did not anticipate any discussion on the subject, but_it describes the Russian force. not as Post Office packets, but as ships of the royal Russian navy, which went out for the roe, of de- stroying viet pe ee not Cage. nt oe ; ee occupy, and of cai away in safety their sons: will the important object of strengthening the garrison of Sebastopol. A more important opera- tion, as far as it went, at that moment, could not bave been undertaken by the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. It was distinctly and very properly stated in the Russian account, that this operation was formed in open defiance of the combined fleets, and of the allied Powers. My noble friend says, there was no declaration of war at the time. I beg leave to contradict him on that point, because in the papers which he has laid upon the table there is @ declaration made—undoubtedly by orders from home—to the Governor of Sebastopol, that if the Russian fleet ap i in the Black Sea the combined fleets would compel them to return to port or wonld attack them. Well, that was a de- claration of war—a declaration of hostilities between the two fleets, if not between the two countries. I must say I think this occurrence did tarnish the honor of our flag, so far 2s the government and the superior officers who dictated such a message, with incompetent means to enforce their threat, were oncerned. I remember that in one of the speeches f the noble earl at the head of the government he said he did not wish to play game at “brag.” 1 want to know what itis but a game of “ " to call upon the Russian fleet to come out throw no discredit A ge the naval com- manding in the Blscl , for I do not know the cireumstances under which they acted, and I have not the least donbt that they were justified by their orders. This was, however, Ate the game of brag, and at the game of brag they were beaten. The noble earl (Lord Clarendon) said that the fact of the- Russians having destroyed tty significant proof that we and masters of the I Black Sea. least doubt that, in point of fact, we are mastery of them ; but, sacontiog to the official announce- ment of the Russian rnment, to which I may I give credit, the effect pro- duced by what took plaee on the occasion to which lam was entirely different from what it was sup) to be by the noble Secretary for Fo- Affairs. Whatever might have been the con- dition of those fortresses, however wretched they Z English and French vessels, the effect throughout the whole of that coast upon the tribes inhabiting would have been of the most favorable character; Tut the fact of their having been voluntarily de- ‘troyed by the Russians, and the circumstance that the troops who had formed the garrisons had been La es is jose Le fleet and rsd con- ve bastopol, were sufficient to show to the inhabitants of that coast that, in reality, the Rus- sians, and not the French and English, were the masters of the Black Sea and the adjoining consts. No doubt it might prove of the utmost importance to this country and our allies, that the whole of the fortifications upon that portion of the coast should be destroyed, and the very fact of our Rapa them, and showing ourselves victorious upon that coast, would have convinced the inhabitants that we ‘were masters, and not the , and the conse- quence would have been that we shonld have a numerous auxiliaries; for we all know that in- habitants of that district are animated with hostile feelings towards Russia, and, if they dared, would ep i snails, a) ie. Romine ex: ecuted exactly wl ey ;. they have had an opportu afforded them of dieplaying their rin di of the assurance given by us it we were masters of the Black Sea. The step they have taken was that which of all others they might have been, yet had they been destroyed by | ¢ it | most desired, and they have acco! ly published it, and in that publication lave asad stated that it was their navy which was engaged in those operations, and which had come out tor that pur- pose. I do say, therefore, that that proceeding was, as far as it goes, a triumph for the Russian navy in that sea, and that we must be considered to have commenced our hostilities there under unfortunate circumstances. There have been reports and al- \ lusions made to other matters, such as the bombard- ment of Odessa; to them I make no allusion, a3 I do not believe ey are accurate; but I must expres my opinion that we have a right to expect that, as the in government have published, in an offi- cial paper, an account of what taken place, the British government should lose no time whatever in informing Parliament andthe country what are the occurrences that have really happened, a4 which I am afraid will be found of no slight import- ance. The Earl of Cuanexpox—I have no objection whatever to lay upon the table of your lordships’ House the despatch to which the noble marquis has alluded, and then my noble friend will have an op- ad of judging whether the statements con- ‘ained in that despatch or in the Russian journal are most entitled to credence. (Cheers.) The Marquis of CLanricarpe—Does the British despatch contradict the Russian statement? (Hear.) The Earl of CuarENpox—My noble friend will see when that despatch is laid upon the table. (Cheers.) Circular of the Russian Government. The cabinet of St. Petersburg issued last month a cir- cular to its foreign agents, which appeals to the imagi- nation of the Christians of the East, and is of a nature to encourage the Greek insurrection. It is as follows:— Sr. Pererspura, March 2, 1864. Sm—The memorandum annexed to my despatch of the 18th of last month has enabled you to communicate to the government to which you are accredited, a faithful and circumstantial account of our differences with Tur- key, of the negotiations by which we sought to bring the Porte to a more just ap ‘iation of our Somands, and of the complications which arises therefrom in consequence of the passionate intervention of the cabinets of Paris and London, and of the hostile attitude assumed towards us at the very moment that they announced themselves as pacific mediators between us and the Ottoman govern- ment. The events having acquired now the gravity which we feared for the tranquillity of Europe, we Counties tt duty towards the courts who have hitherto judged our acta without prejudice or partiality, to continue to pro- vide them with data to enable them to judge with the Same justice the situation in which some of the great powers of Europe are desirous to place Russia in its fu- ture relations with Turkey, and the obligations thereby sought to be imposed upon the Emperor. ‘There is one especially whieh touches the conscience of the whole of Russia and of its sovereign, that which relates to the position of the Christian populations sub- jected to ee and upon whom the Mussulman govern- ment and people, excited by fanaticism, and confiding in the sympathy and aid offered to them’ with so unjus- tiflable an ea; ess by the Christian Powers, think hrm cehte? authorized to exercise the most cruel vexa- ns. Some of these populations, eapecially those which bor- der upon independent Greece, driven to extremes, and losing all hope of better fate, have trken up arms to throw off a yoke which has become insupportable. ‘This rising, already for a long time foreseen and even announced, occupies and moves at the present moment the minds and the press of Europe. By contradiction, which those who pretend to protect against us the power of the Crescent and the rights of the Sultan can alone explain, these same Powers, who declare war to us for the sole motive that we wishod to maintain the us immunities of the Christians of Turkey, say that they are disposed to obtain in their favor the same civil and political rights as are enjoyed by the Mussulmen. We do not wish to draw ir prognostics ; but these tardy promises, so little “in accordance with the acts o those who proclaim them, will have, we fear, no other re- sult than to exasperate still more the oppressors against the oppressed, to provoke sanguinary reprisals, and to re 1- der for the future impossible the submission of those populations to Turkish rule. For our part, we never demanded from the Porte in favor of its Christian subjects but what was just and prac- ticable, and confirmed by the acts of the Sultans them- selves ; but when others than ourselves come and raise up complications and calamities which fall with all their weight on our co-religionists, and drive them to an un- equal struggle, we cannot surely refuse them our in- terest and our assistance. If the rising we hear of should take greater extension— if it should become a war to the death, and of long dura- tion, like that of the Grecka in 1821—we do not think tW&t any Christian Power could assist in replacing these lations under the Ottoman yoke without offending ita conscience. The Emperor will in no case lend his hand to it. During our war, as at the period when peace will be porsible, their fate will be the object Jof the Emperor's caro. We also hope that God will not allow that, from | an unjust inatacotey inst Russia, Christian sovereigns | shall permit their to join in the work of exter- mination, which the ren: embled in the camp of Omer Pacha meditate doubtless at this hour against those who have taken up arms for the defence of their hearths and thir Church. Such, sir, is the point of view in which we think it right to consider the rising in Epirus, the possible con- sequences of which we regret, which we haye the con- sciousness not only not to have excited, but which we were unable to prevent, though we desired to do #0. You will make use of the above indications to rectif; the false rumors and maliciys insinuations which will, doubtless, be circulated on this occasion against Russia abd ber intentions, (Signed) NESSELRODE. The French Reply to the Russian Declaration. [From the Paris Moniteu ‘The Russien government has just published a declara- tion, in answer to the summons addressed to it for the last time by France and England, and to which it has not consented to subscribe. We have not the intention to enter into an examination of the arguments refuted to ratiety ; we will limit ourselves to some observations on the new errors which that declaration is endeavoring to get accredited. In the first place, the Ruasian government demands by what title England and France pretend to exact the evacu- ation of the Principalities the Danube. There is no one 0 ignorant as not to be aware how much their sum- mons is founded upon right. The Powers who signed the acts of Vienna bave themselve: ized it as such. ‘The Cabinets of is and London on thir occasion in virtue of treaties, and their conduct bad the approba- tion of other governnients. How,” says the declaration of the Russian Cabinet, “could we eyneuate the Princtpalities without even the thadow of thé conditions to which the Emperor had made subordinate the cessation of that occupation being fulfilled by the Ottomat government?’ But those con ditions which Russia required were manifestly unjust apd the Conference of Vienna haa formally confirmed, 0 that point, the judgment of Europe. ‘The declaration adds that the Russian armies could not evacuate the Principalities in the a war which the Ottoman government “had been the first to declare.” The cannot be more Se ae ‘The invasion of the two provinces of the Turkish empire was, in the eyes of the whole world, an act of war. If the Porte waa recommended not to make it a case of war, it was because, in spite of the aggressive character of the acts of Russia, it was still hoped that there would be, on the partof that Power, a return to moderation and eanity. Russia has no better foundation for casting back on the {wo maritime Powers the initiative of the provocations. It isan affair already judged; and since the Cabinet of St. Petersburg brings to our recollection on this subject the memorandum of the 18th of last February, we can, in our turn, send it back to whole of the documents which, in England as well as in France, have so com- the question beyond a doubt, that neither wo governments have thought it worth their while to occupy themselves one moment with this memo- randum, which has tly been refated beforehand. ‘The initiative of the acts of war, as far as regards the Porte, as wellas the provocations in matters touching the maritime Powers, belongs exclusively to the Power which invaded the cipalities of the Danube; and such is the opinion of all Europe. ‘The declaration of the Rugsian Cabinet remarks that the occupation had not prevented the negotiations from being opened, and that they would not have stopped their being followed out if the Powers had not suddenly, and without valid reasons, cb: the bases which they bad themselves given in the first note drawn up at Vienna. the Powers had, in fact, laid down priaciples which, loyally admitted, might ‘then have solved the difference; but the commentary w! the note in ques- tion received from the Count de Nessqrode attested that the Russian Cabinet did not accept them, exeept by attach- ing to them a signification very different from the idea of ‘the confere: of Vienna, as was admitted bs / all the go- wrpments represented in that conference. It is, there fore, Russia Verself who changed the bases of the nego- tistion, and compelled the great Powers to seek for others: The Russian government bitterly complains of the demand which the Cabinets of Paris and of London ing |. According to the declaration of the Bensian Coblast, wo have lors respect for the indspeck, ence of the Porte than it has; and one of the proofs which it adduces for this is, that the Ottoman govern- ment has renounced by iy. the power of making peace without its allies. In entering into that engage ment, the Porte only contracts a reciprocal obligation, on the footing of a perfect equality, and moreover in strict conformity to constant and general usage and the law of nations, when several unite together to pursue by arms a common object. ‘(The Porte (adds the Russian Cabinet) is about to be forced to subscribe to an Set which would ex- tend to all its subjecta equality of civil and itical rights.” ‘That assertion, far from being well founded, gives us an occasion of showing, in a striking manner, what is the difference of acting between Russia and the Western Powers in their relations with the Ottoman em- pire. Russia has insisted on stipulating with the Porte, either in a treaty or by means of a note, for the mainte- nance of the liberties of the Sultan’s subjects. The other Powers have not fora single moment thought of requiring from the Porte any such engagement, either in the form of a treaty or of a note. They have not, it is true, neglected any occasion te sug; to the Porte such measures ppeared to them calculated to ameliorate the condition of the Christians in the Turkish empire; but they never could have thought of restrict- ing the sovereignty of the Sultan, when, on the con- trary, they were taking up arms to defend it against the pretensions which were menacing it. ‘It is for Europe, and not for the two Powers (continues the Russian gov- ernment) to decide if the balance of power in Europe really runs any of the dangers which, it is pretended, arise from the excessive preponderance of Russia.” On that point the wish of the Russian Cabinet is already realized, It is the great Powers of Europe, and not France and England alone, who have signed the acts of Vienna; and these acts declare loudly that the position taken by Russia on the Danube places the general equili- brium in danger. According to the Cabinet of St. Peters- burg, it is, om the contrary, France England who are exercising at present on Europe a preasure of a na- ture to disquiet all the neutral Powers. one, how- ever, knows that, far from manifesting an Alaguistate, the ‘neutral Powers, on the contrary, applaud the at: titude assumed by the two maritime Powers, and that at the present moment, from every part of the world, they send to thank the two Powers for the recent declaration which has just confirmed the ensem- Ule of the principles under which they had in vain en- deavored hitherto to shelter their liberty in time of war. Finally, the Russian government thinks that the isolation into which it declares it is about to be thrown Will only deliver the world up to a moro dangerous pro- ponderance than its own could possibly be. That gov- ernment forgets that not one of the great Powers aims, like it, at exclusive advantages, or wants to act by itself alone.’ Far from permitting ‘a preponderance of any kind to be established, a common action exercised by the Four Powers is for all the other States a pledge of se- curity and impartiality. The influences which co-ope. rate for the object in view constitute a just counterpoise of one to the other, and guarantee in advance to Europe that the general interest which has drawn the Pour Pow- ers together will not cease a single moment to guide their resolutions, and will be alone listened to to the end. ‘The observations which precede will enable every one to judge of the new document published by the Russian government. The Irish in America and the War In Europe. {From the London Times, April 28.] eee ee we 8 The Irish emigrants or fugitives, not satisfied with the improvement in their condition which attends their de- parture from Europe, or with the hospitable reception they find in the New World, still retain the taint of fac- tion from that unhappy country which their own disson sions so long rendered the most wretched portion of the British empire. A considerable portion of the press of the United States, expecially in New York, is inspired by the ingenuity and misplaced eloquence of’ these persons; and in no inscoalderahie number of the American jour- nals, instead of reading the honest opinions of the Ameri- can people, we find ourcelves imposed upon by the rant- ing and vindictive fury of some Irish outlaw. writers are the privateers of literature, who gratify all the worst passions of the Irish character under the American flag, and, in return for the asylum and the citizenship they have met with in the United States, their meat ardent desire is to embroil the land of their adoption with the land of their birth, by a double trea- son to the country which has received and to that which has cast them off: We aré satisfied that these are not the opinions of the people of the United States. That great and free com- munity, intelligent and eager to watch the movements of Enrope, cannot so entirely misjudge the spirit with which we have engaged in this war as to limit a subject embracing the destines of the world to the narrow and factious views of an Irish incendiary. We are interested in knowing what are the views and the judgment of the American people on this question, not in measuring the extravagence of an Irish party speaking in the name of a nation to which it does not belong. But evidence is not wanting that the Americans are well aware of the interests engaged in this struggle, and that the cause o Turkish independence, to which they have themselve contributed by their admirable missions to the East, is a state. Itis significant that the party to which the agent of Russia have addressed themaelves in the Unite ite with most hope of success, consists of Irish rebels o Cuban filibusteros, and that the only demonstration: made in favor of the Autocrat in the New Worli proceed frcm one or other of these factions. We trust the people of America will be on their against these practices, which are calculated to denatienalize their policy and their press, by leading public opinion astray for purposes hostile to the real interests of the Union. ‘It is already known to us that attempts of a y direct and positive claracter have been made to mislead public opinion and the public policy of the United States, as if Russia, in lending herself to the aberrations of the least reputable part of the American people, could compensate to the nation for one tithe of the loss caused by an interruption of their friendly relations with France and with this country. All just grounds of complaint on tho subject of neutrals are already and spontaneously removed. ‘The causes which gave rise to inconvenience and eventually to war in 1812, sre at an end, and not likely to be re- newed. Although this country bas placed her forces on a war establishment, she has made the largest conces- sions ever thought of to the liberty of trae; and the neutral States of Europe have gratefully enjoined upon their subjects the duty ot ere ag themselves to the usages of war. A country which, like the United States, arpires to be a maritime power, and can only act on Europe by maritime means, can nover think itself interested in contesting those belligerent rights which are | theessence of maritime warfare, and which no navy more ously right than = that of blocka: enforced, was as has exercised the United States. and even of a blockade not adeq: rerted and practised by the America: can war; the right of search to vorify ships’ papers and to de‘ect contraband of war, though not to interfere with cremy’s property in the cargo, isa belligerent right which every American cruiser weuld exercise to-mor- row if the United States were at war with any other powers In altecting to contest these Fights the Ameri- cana are Weakening the'r own right hand at sea, and, in they acquire naval power, they will seck em.

DINNER ON BOARD THE AUSTRALIAN CLIPPER SHIP LIGHTNING, OF BOSTON, On April 27th, at noon, a number of ladies and gen- tlemen sat down toa déjeuner on board the clipper ship Lightning, lying in the Canning basin, Liverpool. ‘The on was oconpied by Mr. Mackay, of the firm of Baines ‘0. ‘The Cramvan rose to propose ‘The health of her Ma- jesty the Queen,” whom he designated as the Queen of the Ocean urope in this contest. CaAiRMAN said that as the etiquette of Court was not a por'fon of moral education, he should be for- givin for proposing the health of her Majosty Queon Vie‘oria before that of the President of the United States, alti ough they were then under the shelter of the Ame- Hitan fag; bat he. could appeal te the well-known gs! lantry of their transatlantic cousins, and he was sure they would forgive him, for when a lady was in the case, of courge all other things gave place. * (Hear, hear, and langhter.) With this apology be begged to refer to the Lightning” os the first of a line of American packets built in Boston for the Liverpool and Australian trade. He might say she was the first link which commercial freedom had forged to bind the two nations together more and more in amity and friendship. Noone knew the bacon A of the Anglo Saxon race; but as far as th New World was concerned, it bid fair to carry out the memorable linea of the immortal Purns:— Let y that come it may, it will for a? that, Thal and man the world o'er Sball brothers be for a’ that. He coneluded by ing ‘ The health of the President of the United States of America.” (Cheers.) Mr. J. L. O'ScL11vay, in responding, said that the chair- man had quite supererogatorily apologized for having proposed the health of her Majesty in priority to that of the President of the United States. He assured the eom- ay that if the President were there in person, he would een the last to have yielded to any man the honor and privilege of being the one to propose the. health of the ueen.” (Loud oheers 2, Net only upon the good old rule, which ¥2s good in English, in Anglo-Saxon, as in French, Plas aux dames’’, (give place to the ladies.) ‘The Indies first; not only by reasou of the universal title which commanded the homage and respect of all the na- tions of the globe, they would cheerfully and gladly give place to the health of the Queen—a queen not merely of this noble and beautiful island—not merely of that megnificent realm which circled the globe— and in regaré to which it had been well said that the drumbeats of her military posts passed round the globe with the course of the run, saluting each other at eve, ‘and in the morning meeting again where they began— not only as queen of that realw, but of that far more noble realm of the universal heart, Thoy all knew that the world over—in England as wellas in America—hearts were the bert of trumps, (Laughter.) The Queen of England was not leas a model queen than a model wife and « model mother. (Bear, Wear, and cheers.) TH President of the United States was a very young man, elevation by the suffrages of his country- ished post he occupied, he had done much lese—he aight. state, without dlsrespect to him— than many others of his fellow countrymen. He might refer to it 09 a distinguished proof of the spirit and char acter of their ‘entities net thn scaembly when as te who had just wigs trivmphs, which te had aobieved ia. tue. of Mexico—they did during the Mexi- | and these aubjects having been received in the usual loyal man- | not elect General Scott, but om fl chose one com} onthe, his subordinate—they one of his brigadior nerals; and if they were ever told that America would legenerate into a despotism, and be ruled by a military chief, let them point to the President as an example that when Franklin Pierce, a youthtul brigadier-general, ran as an opposing candidate against his commander-in- chief, he beat him by a majority unprecedented. No friends of American liberty need fear that military glory would be the title by which men would obtain the high- est honors of their country. The time had been when Americans and English had met together on the sane deck amidst different circumstances to the present. In- stead of the clatter of knives and forks, there had been the glittering clash of cutiasses, bayonets, and boarding pikes, and instead of the sounds caused by the uncorking of chai @ botiles, had been the booming of cannon and the discharge of musketry; but God forbid that any other sounds than those pleasing, mimic sounda of their festive war, should ever again accompany the meeting of Foglish an ricans. (“Hear, hear,’ and cheers.) ‘The Cuamay, in appropriate terms, next proposed “The health of the Emperor of the French,’ and after. wards that of «Prince Albert,” both of which were moat - enthusiastically received. The Cuamax then proposed “The Army and ition of affairs in Navy,” alluding to the present the East. “Thank God,” he said, ‘“oursolliers have gone to fight ina righteous cause—(hear, hear,)—the cause of right against might, and may the God of ‘battles ive them the victory.” (Hear, hear,’ and cheers.) Exptain Sebomberg responded. health of the Mayor of Liverpool”’ was proposed. The Mayor said he felt much-obliged for the manner in which his health had been pro) and he was more icularly gratified by the way in whick the company ad received it. Look: ng at the importance of the emi- tion trade, he thought that the Mayor of Liverpool, by is preserce on such an occasion, was poKr oa that friendly feeling, commercial and otherwise, which existed between this country and America. Whatever differ- ences the present war might create in Europe, he trusted that the good understanding which at present existed be- tween the United States and Great Britain would not suffer inthe least. (Cheers.) His worship concluded by proposing ‘The health of the owners of the Lightning, and prosperity to the vessel.” ‘The Cuamman briefly responded, and expressed his gratification at seeing so many smiling and happy faces around him. “The healths of the Hon. J. 8. O'Sullivan and the Hoa. Mr. Belmont, American Atwbassadors,”? were next pro- pored by the Chairman, and duly respondgd to by each of these gentlemen. The Cuamman then proposed “The health of Donald M'Kay, Esq. of Boston, the builder of the vessel.’” Captain M’Kay replied on behalf of his brother, and in conclusion proposed ‘Success to the ‘Black Ball’ line of packet ships,’? coupled with the name of Capt. Forbes Mr. Cuarres TURNER proposed, Success to the spirit of enterprise which was shown by Messrs. Baines & Co., in introducing such a noble claas of vessels into this port. (Cheers. ) Mr. Janes Barnes responded. ‘He would not attempt todeny that in establishing such a line ag the “iilack Pall” line of packets, they fad been somewhat actuated by pecuniary considerations; but that there had been an- other object which they nad in view, which was by pro- such a class of ships, commanded by such a class nn, torecure the approbation of those who embark- | edin them. (Hear, hear) Until withio the last few | yeurs, London carried on the entire trade from England ‘o Australia, but if they would allow him, he would give them a few figures, showing them the comparison bs. tween the trade to Australia from Londen and from Liv- | erpool, In 1851 London sent out 224 ships, of 114,217 tons; during the same year Liverpool sent out 22 ships, of 23,224 tons. In 1862, London despatched 341 ves: sels, witha burtben of 186,289 tons; and Liverpool, ia the’ same period, despatched 128’ ships, of 99,347 tons. The increase of the Liverpool trade being 96 thipsand 76,142 tons, whereas the tuerease of the trade from London was only 105 vessels, bearing a burthen of | 72,072 tons; the tonnage of the vessels, therefore, which sailed from’ London in that year, was’ loss by 4,670 tons than the increase in the tonnage of the vessels which de- parted from this port. The first quarter of. the present ar showed a decrease in the trade, both of London and | Liverpool, as compared with the corresponding quarter of | Inst year. The present quarter, however, showed better, 12,000 tons having been despatched this month for Aus: tralia from Liverpool. In 1860, there were on the berth in Liverpool only four ships, having a burthen of 2,948 tons. In the year afterwards there wero three ships, burtheh 2,716 tons; but in the present year there were thirty-nine ships, of 86,721 tons burthen.

Antonio Ledger, A correspondent of the San from El Paso says:—! am fearful, from the writin, scientific examinations made by Capt. gor of the Sol. Gray, United States Topographical Engineers, and Lieut. Park, that there has been a sad mistal in the late treaty, if the line is to be established at point three miles above the town of El Paso, as is generally understood to be the case; then, in that event, we lose the most practicable croasing of the Rio Grande, incomparably 80, from the concurrent testimony of the gentlemen above referred to. This crossing 18 just below what is known as the “ Ad and is not exceeding a mile above the plaza of Paso. It is said the river is susceptible of ed bridged at this point at a cost of about one half it would require at any other point between this an@ Alberquerque.

He reports a good emigrant ‘ronte, being several hum- dred miles nearer than the old travelled route. The course is 8. 50 degrees, W. 62 miles, when you strike the Santa Maria river, 25 miles from its mouth, where it empties into Lake Guzmann, in latitude 31 degrees, 20 minutes, 21 seconds.

Wood and grass are plenty. | He describes it as a fine valley. We are overilooded with Santa Anua’s decrees; they come in too thick for people to stand it long. The decree dismissing our respected Cura Ramon Ortiz, for being one of the editors of a history of the Mexican war, was attempted to be put in force a few days since, but the Cara, who is one of the most talented and influential men in Mexico, sent them for answer, to an invitation to present himself at the court house, “ that it did not suit him to go, and that he had his judge in the bishop.” The Con- sul of the United States was also accused by the spe to the government of Santa Anna, as hay- ing said in December last, at a refreshment table, that Santa Anna had made a secret treaty, selling a large portion of territory, for $35,000,000, of which was to go into his private pocket.

If the greatest atten. tion, energy, and perseverance could make the Black Ball line of packets all that could be wished, it would not be his fault if it was not so. The Hon. Mr. Buchanan on ’Change tn Liv- € a The Liverpool Journal, of April 29, publishes the fol- | lowing under the heading of ‘Talk on ’Change”” :— His Excellency, the Hon, Mr. Buchanan, the American | Minister at the Court of St. James, was ‘on ’Change on Thursday, with his Worship the Mayor. The talk vas, | that he had been stopping, since ‘tuesday, at the Adelphi Hotel—his visit to Liverpool being for the purpose of re- ceiving his daughter, Miss Buchanan, who came yoster- day, by the Atlantic; [Mr. Buchanan’ was never married; the lady was probably his niece;] that, owing to questions of deliency now pending between America and Jingland, he wished his visit to be private; that, in avoidance of all national or political displays, he declined, with great reluctance, to accept the Mayor’s hospitality; that he went out only once, to meet a few aclect friends at din- ver, at the mansion of Mr. Bramley-Moore—Mt. Bramley. Moore eagerly reciprocating the kindness he so amply experienced on his recent visit to the United States he further talk was, that the American Minister is one of those large minds which stand out in the ranks 0 intellect in the States; that study has made him a ful man, and experience a wise one; that he has done the diplomatic at St. Pelersburg, and knows the Czar well; tha! the policy of Russia is obstinacy; and that the Pets tt af the country renders er adequate to a long endurance of war; that just at this moment the resence of Mr. Buchanan in this country is @ fortunate incident; that his clear head and honorable mind are a guarantee against the small policy by which some of the public men in America are influenced; that they will be | for making capital out of the war in order to coerce us on the fishery question; but that the American Minister ia not the man to countenance such vileness, or to de- ecive the American people as to the character of this country; that he knows no peril would commit us to a racrifice of dignity; and that we never give way but to | troops at Franklin kee that knowledge is adverse to a belief ina speedy peace; tha! | uncommer- - make, told them “ none,” to so ridiculous an affair. me lettera received from Santa Fe, we are informe ed that a fight had occurred near the Suega, near Taos, between a party of dragoons and Aj In- dians, in which the latter were victorious, killing lieutenant and forty men, and wounding cigtoens six escaped unhurt.

Every few days we hear of depredations being com- mitted and men killed close to town. On account of high duties, no goods have gone into Mexico this year. The warehouses at are full, waiting for a reduction of duties, of whieh there is not much prospect.
