By that treaty the United States agree to make zens of ancther, and to clam for the one righta aud privileges which they submit to see denied tothe other. They agree to aid and abet the Swiss io their narrow-minded exclusion of the Jewa, by renouncing beforenand the right of claiming for Jewish citizens of the United States the same privileges as are evjoyed by all other citizene of the country We hnxve reason to believe that our Hebrew fellow-ciizeps are not going to remain silent under thie outrage.

The tise spd progress of che oceaa steam mail service of Great Britain is second in iaterest to uo cbapter in the maritime history of the world. The firet contract for carrying mails by sea in steamers was made by the Po-tmaster Geae- rai in 1833 and provided for a semi-weekly ser- vice trom Liverpool to the Iste of Man, in steamers of not lees than 140 tons barden, at £850 4 year. That coutract, with the same com pany—the Mona Isle Steam Company—oa ex- actiy the sume terms, faa continued to this day, w period of twenty-four yeurs, a circumstance unexampled in the history of steam aavigation ‘The next Ocean steam mai! contract was made with the General Steam Navizution Company, in 1834, for conveying the mails from Londen to Rotterdem and Hamburg twice a week, for £17,000 p*: annum.

That contract was tracterred in 1843 to the Peuinsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Compaay, Sou‘h- ampton substituted for Falwouth, the trips al+red to teres a mouth, aaa the compensation reduced to £20,500. avd oa these terms it re muins to this day, The Aberdeen and Shetlaud contract wus made in 1838, tor weekly service, at £600 0 year It wes given up in tea monthe, avd the present coutrsct wade ta 1840 at £900 ace Now commences tne great straggle for the supr- macy of the A'lsntic, end thi« forms the second © a in the hvtory of ocean steam naviga- ton.

They required from eighteen to twenty-four mouths to build vessels avd get them réady, but government would only wait one year. Acoutract was made with Samuel Oa nad, of Nova Scotia by 4 singular coluci dence, on the 4th day of July, 1839 for a semi monthly mail service to Halifac and Boet mn, for £60000 per annum. That agree tment, entered into on the anniversary of Amori- oan independence, was a step that probably con. tributed more towards brivglog about an exten tive interchange of correspoodence, com nerce, travel and friendly intercoarse between tne iwo natione, than any previous act of the Britian gov. ernment vince the close of the warof 1812 It was eon found tha’ Boston poseesed but few advantages for a steam packet station, and one baif of the Cunard vessels were sent direot to New York, an arrangement tha: has concinaed to the present day, notwithstanding we hace now a dozen lines of steamers, inseat of one, forced below, they had to put out the fire themselves variety of political complexion, aud belonging to ’ running scrose the Atlantic. By the favor of . the British government, coupled with the fuct of its proximity to Halifax und Canada, Boetoa has coutinued to be a station for some of the emaller Cunard steamers, thouzh no’ one single addition has been made to the transatlantic eteam eervice of that port, from any aource, since the wiguirg of the above coutract a period of more than eighteen yeara These facts aveak for themselves. New contracts were signed in 1850 and 1852, the latter providing for weekly service n winter as well ag insummer. Tne contract price was fixed at £173,340, and the engayement is to continue tilt Jauuary 1, 1862, and theaceforward till twelve month's notice is given. The contract for ateam service to Malta, Corfu and Alexandria, was made in 1840, aud in 1845 this +ervice was extended to Su+z, Bombay, Cey lon, Caicatra and China, and is ail earriea on by the Peninsulsr and Oriental Company. The cox tract fer the mau service on the Paoific cvast of South Awerics was made in 1845, and renewed in 1850. The stegm services to the Chaunel Islands commenced in 1848. In 1839 the Royal Mau Steam Packet Company offerea to carry th: maile twice @ mouth to the West Indies for £240,- 000 a year, but no contract was made till 1850 when it included a separate service ovce a moata to Brazil, by way of Lisbon.

Looking ut localities aad indi- vidual interests, the company receiving the largest subsidy is the Royal Mail Sieam Packet Company, for the service to tne West Ladies 62d Bragil—toe aunuul compeusation being $1 350 - 000. This company hae tweaty eteamers, an ag- gregate of 29.454 tons. The Peniosalar and Oriental Steam Navigation Compa*y have in the service tiirty- nine vessels, measuring 48,835 tony, They have coa'racts (aumbered 4 and 5), to Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, [odia and Chi- na, and receive $1,224,000 per annum. The European and Australian Mail Steam Packet Company made their coutract for convey- ing a monthly mail to Austraiia by way of Suez, in 1856,and commenced service in Jansaary of the present year. They receive $925,000 per acnum. Canard’s two coatracts (Nos. 6 aud 7) bring him $948,000 a year. It 18 instructive to see the porte in Great Bri- tain from which the most of this steam service emabates, and by a most remarkable cdincidence: not one solitary vessel of Eogland’s vast fleet of maii steamers sails from the port of Loudoa.

If gny of our neighbors north or south of us are ambitious of seeing their true positioa in the ocean steam commerce of the Western con- tinent, the figures attached to Plymoath and Dartmouth in the above table will probably af- ford them some consolation. We shall give some further important facts in a few days in a survey of the entire mercantile steam marine of Great Britain. Tur Coxmxe Oreratic anp TwearricaL Sza- 60N—PLaxs oF THE CampatGn,—While fashion- uble New York ia disporting itself by the sea or mountain side, or being broiled and purged at Saratoga, the caterers for its winter amusements are borily engaged in laying down the plane of the coming campaign, and marehalling their armies for an attack upon the pubdlic’s pockuts From present indications, the coming theatricat feeson will be exceedingly interesting. Tne operatic campaign wil shortly commence at the Academy of Music, which house passes into the hauds of Mc Thalverg and his coadjutors, Messrs, Strakoxch and Ullman, on the first day of the coming muoth. The tiet of artists inclades the oames of Frezzofini, Parodi, Thalb-rg, Rozer, Former, Gasser, Lubosetta Ansebu'z, Vieux- temps. and others—a host, vocal aod mstrume.- tal In addition to the opera, thero will be cay concerts and otter novelties The combieation of managers i# a strong one, and if the Op ra can be made to pay they will do it The youvg ladies who love the Opera will have plenty of it and conversation need not flag in the Fitthuvenue All the Broadway shopkeeners will find a market for operatic kaicknackerie, and Mad+moiselle Traphagan must bring out her prettiest Opera cloaks. For, in addition to the Acedemy managers, Mr. Marshail, of the Broadway theatre is in the field. Max Maret. zek, the redoubtable and indomitabie, slipped away from Bostoa the other day, avd dropped down in Pall Mall just at the heigotot the Loa- don renson He bas made several engagements for Mr. Marshall, and has the Ronzaai ballet company, from Tarin, where that sort of thing is done in the most astonishing way. Mr. Marshalt hae combined with Mr. Barry, of the Buston thestre, apd bas sisv the Tacon at Havana, as well as the Broadway here and the Philadelphia Academy of Music The operatic, balict aad dramatic companies will piay in New York, Boa- ton and Philadeiphia alternately. We presame that there will be no unfriendly opposition be- tween ‘he rival operatic chiefs, but that a treaty of amity will be exchanged. Taking together all the artiste that are engaged by Ullman aad Maretzek we could bave @ combination that would eet the Fifth avenue wild with delight. In the theatrical world the regular peason will open with a grand flourish. Oharlotte Cashman will probably be one of Burton's firet stars Charles Mathews comes over early in the antuma and will probably go to Niolo, Mr Mathews hos been in America befor», and was fuol ich evough to quarrel with his own bread and = bulter, but that wns tea years ago, and one learne a great deal in ten years. Mr. Wallack resumes the management of bie own theatre, and, it is aid, opens with the immoral drama. We trust that the rumor is ua- founded. Mise Laura Keene, who has been de lighting the provinciaie, Baffaloee and others, opens her /ijou of 4 theatre in September wita a strong ttock compavy. The date of the opening Of the Broadway theat:e is not fixed, and it is stated that the Museum w.ll not again be opened with @ regular theatrical compacy. ‘The last theatrical ecason was not a very brillant one for any body, and we have a right to expect something better during the coming one.

Tue Snax Burp. Hem.—The recent appea- dix to the Bond street mysiery presents as many remarkabic features—th ugh lacking in the tra- gic elemeot—aud at‘ racie as large wshare of pud- lic attention as the murder iteelf, with the subse- quent inqucet and trial, did. It is the sole topic. of conversation in ali circles social, business and professional. Other matters of much more im- portence are cast into the ehade by this sham baby farce, and by the speculations and discus. siovs to which it has given rise. The war io Chine, the mutiny in India, thesabmarine Atlau- tic telegraph, the cable of which is now being ac- tually submerged, tbe Street Commissionerehip, toe struggle for municipal righte, the remarkable poitoning case in Glaegow, all seem to bave lost their interest for the public; and that iuterest seems to be concentrated with greater intensity than ever in this romance of Bond street, with its deep tragedy and broad farce brought into close juxtaposition. The ingenuity of a Dumas or a Sue, ot a Dickens or @ Reynolds, or of all tbe romance writers of this or any other age or country, is put te the blush in their inability to e any work of fiction that can compare with that romance of real life which has grown around the house 31 Bond street. Compared to the absorbing interest of its shifcing chapters, the romances of the “Captain Kidd” or “Bleeding Nun” stamp are dull, tame and insipid. ‘The old intense excitement and desire to pene- trate the mysteries of the murder have been revived by this attempt to produce an heir to the murdered man’s estate. The conviction of Mra. Cunningham’s active complicity in the assassina- tion—which was considerably weakened by her trial—has grown strong again—stronger perhaps than it ever was. She has ehown herself bold enough, plotting enough, and bad enough to per- petrate any crime. Besides, the fact that the witnees whose testimony did more than anything else to acquit her has proved to be an accemplice of her’s comes upon the public mind now with tremendous effect. And now the question be- comes an important one—was the strength of Mrs. Cunningham's arm diminshed by rheuma- tism to the extent sworn to by Dr. Catlin? We sbould like to have that question tested and set atrest. Its bearing on the murder is of infinite importance. It witl be seen by our report of the proceedings of yeeterday in this caee that the woman who atand, It is not unlikely that the slavery clause in the Bay Island Convention will be withdrawn by Lord Clarendon as of no practical utility, and only leading to unneces-ary complications. It is understood that Senor Herran wil) imme- diately leave Paris for London, to carry out the views of his government. Thut the conventions will be adopted, in nearly their present form, does not admit of doubt. THE LATEST NEWS.

Deeper and deeper and deeper she has been sinking heree!f in public loathing and abhorrence, till now there is no deeper depth for her to sink to.
