The shipping merchants of this island wiil realize very handsomely by this engagement, which is the harbinger of future contracts from the Department of Supply. The supply to be obtained is limited to be fulfilled in one year from March next, and in- tended for the East Indies and China. The mines of this island are considered to be inexhaustible. Our resources are increasing rapidly, and the cli- mate is so salubrious as to attract the visits of many invalids from England. Business dull, as the old crops are all gone, and we must wait for the new before a revival takes place. Archbishop Hughes delivered a sermon yesterday | in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, on the subject of the Ca- tholic Church a4 @ Teacher. During his discourse he alluded to the question of the Bible in our public schools, and also to the establishment of an Ameri- can Catholic college at Rome, for the benefit of which a collection was taken up. We have a full report of the sermon, which is crowded out by the great press of news, but which will appear in to- morrow’s Hrrat.p. In the evening the Archbishop delivered another sermon, but this tims it was in the James street Catholic church. He stated that the lecture on “The Idea of the Church with respect to Childhood nnounced for the evening, was to have been delivered by the Rev. John Larkin, who the previous day was engaged in the confessional, Uut that at the close of the evening, when the bell sunmoned him to the repast prepared, another summons came from Heaven, calling him to that recompense prepared for the good and faith! His penitents, said the Archbishop, were wait around the confessional, but they waited in vain for him: less than three minutes from the time he sat down to take his cup of tea, he was a corpse. Yet they had no tears to shed for him, for he died as a oldier of the Cross should—at his post. The Arch- bishop then entered at length into the subject of the education of the young, and im the conrse of his remarks paid a high tribute of respect to the me- mory of Father Larkin, whom he had known for ars. He urged upon the congregation ere in their gooa work of providing Catholic schools for the education of Catholic children, as it was impossible for them, as Catholics, ever to approve of the system of education which the law would seem to impose upon them. Sermons were preached last evening at the Aca- demy of Music and at the National theatre. Rev. John P. Durbin officiated at the Academy and Rov. E. T. Hiscox at the National.

Two events have oecurred to confirm in a re- packable mannut ‘the opinion we so repolately ained a few naonthe since, that (he Bri | government had met given up the sxercise of ; the right of scare hing American vessels upon the ocean. The readers ¢f the Henarsy will, remember how tenaciowsly we defended our views, and ly we vexpowed the fallacy of the trary assertion, with argaments drearn from. the gaarded decianations and cwutiour admissions of the British Ministers in Par tiameut, and lngical deductions from the past history of the Pritish mont and is poliey, To-day we publish sther colurm, the © ficial correspondence how ¢ | opon which the statement that the right of rch question had beew eettled was founded, in which it will be seen U iat England, instead of | abandoving her old cP aim, has taken really a | more iuselent position than she before held. Not | being able %% comtrovert the weight of au- | thority that was bronght against her, she acknowledge# that /.he letter of the law does not give her the right # he claims, and now demands that the law of @ ations shall be changed ia this respect, s@ that i may suit her whims, As if to confirm her dete ‘mination to continue the prac- tioe of the right of search, come the cases of the American stet mers Washington and Cathai Maria, bearde d by her officers in a neutral port, and in sight of several American men-of- war, and afull reper t of their proceedings demanded. It will be seen from the letter of Mr. Dallas, in another olumn, that on the morning of the 8th of June ast he despaired of bringing Lord Pal- merstas; to the concession of a single point, when. ‘enddenly he was called off to meet that tells bim that by an arrangement with that power, an English boat might be sent along- side of a French sbip and ask to see her papers, but not, unless invited, board the vessel. On the 11th of June, Lord Malmesbury elaborates in a deepatch to Lord Napier his nev position toward the United States, He begins with thie same admissions, that the law was against bim, with which be bad bumbugged Mr, Dallas; then he assumes the championship of civilization, aud | asserts the necessity of a police of the high seas to put down American rascals; aud impudeotly adds, that the way things are now going on every bonest trader will soon fly from the American flag upon the ocean as from a pirate. This ne- cessity of a “police of the high seas’ he defends by an ingenious use of a partial extract from General Cass’ letter of the 10th of April last, and a citation proving that an American naval officer had exercised the right of search on two French vessels. We have long ago stated our belief that it was on this slip of General Cass’ that Lord Malmesbury hung his apparent coa- sessions, and the fact is now proved. As for the example cited, of the commander of the United States ship Dale, it only proves how little some of our own naval officers know of their daties and their relations to the merchant service, and shows the necessity of ventilating thoroughly the question of the right of visit and search by men-of-war on the ocean. Lord Malmesbury also gives, as see ingly against himself, the view taken by the French Admiral Hammelin, stating expressly, however, that the British government does not accord in it. The French admiral only claims that a mer- chant vessel shall be obliged to show her colors to a man-of-war at sea, but without being stopped or tarned out of her course, unless there isjust ground for suspicion. This, however, is a practical admission of the necessity of a police on the high seaa, It is in practice the European system of making a man show his passport when- ever an officer demands it. A passport is the evi- dence of a man’s identity and nationality, as a ship’s colors are of her’s, Their foreed exhibi- tion on the high seas during atime of peace is an undue exercise of authority, and an. improper call for respect to authorities, It is the erection of Gesler’s pole and hat upon the ocean: for the citizens of every uation to bow before. Such a praetice accords well enough with the theories of “the empire,’ which demand’ that every private person shall uncover befory sn offir cial, but it will not set well upon the stomachs of the free citizens of the United States, But the last two paragranbs of Lord Méimes- bury’s letter to Lord ier are the most re- markable of all. They convey as distinct a threat as ever was conveyed’ in diplomatic lan- guage. He tells us that we must admit the es tablishment of this police of the seas, for * these irritating controversies are inevitable as lorg as the letter of the internationad law is made to override these measures which” British experi- ence and arrogance “recommend for the security of life and property on the high seas,” but which neither the United States nor France have ever acquiesced in. How Mr. Dallas or Gen. Cass, or any other man possessing common sense, could conceive that this letter of Lom’ Malmesbury was a satisfactory settlement cf the right of search, we cannot understand. The position of our government is directly antagonistic to it in all its pointe; and that position is clearly laid down im Gen, Cass letter of the 30th of June. The Ameri- can idea is there set forth, that the occa- sional abase of a flog is a fur less evil than the establishment of England's pretearions would he, and that the freedom of all merchaut vessels from detention upon the oevan concerns every nation. It is now evident that the question of the right of seareb is not settled, and that our government and that of England are iv direct flict upoa it. England bas now extended her claim to exereise a police right upor the ocean, to its exercise in the ports and rivers of neutral weaker nations, The recent proceedings of the Britich officers in the harbor of Sac Juan del Norte and the Colorado branch of thet river are of a far more flagrant clavacter than were the proceedings last spring in the Cuban waters. The freedom of our commerce on every sea and in every barbor is involved in the question. The administration and Congress must tase it up at once, and maintain the liberty of the American sailor and the American flag everywhere, We are on eve of an f ‘tant conflict with th Western Powers of Europe. If we cede rights now, we shall never recover’ them ag: without a Lioedy conflict that wil) rock tl whole world, and no present cession om our part ur will secure poace to wa, Concession, cace begun k Orn Navax—In view of the troubled aspects which af wear ia the Gulf and onthe South Amcrican cost, it becomes of the utmost im portance to consider the efficacy of our navy It cannot be denied that the increase whieh Congress provided for ht its last session lew our navy ell far behind what it should be force and availability. The number of steam- ships of light draught and heavy armament is entirely too small, and that of large saib- ing veesohs unsuited to the times and the cit. cumstanees of thie country. Let us look a6 tae following table, which shows the number ef our sailing war vessels and their armament:— Veanels, Guns Ships-of the-line, ae 129 8 M4 “ 1 80 Frigates. | m Bo | 0 Sloope of war oe | 2 = .& » “ a av) Brie | 6 schooners. ot 3 The time is gone by when ponderona sailing vea- eels are of much service. Steam is now the great agent in all the effective marines in the world, aud it must soon become the ouly one, Accord ing to the late report of the Secretary of the Navy, it appears that twenty vessels of aemalter clase can be built and kept at sea for the same cost as four of five large ones; and it is just euch steam veesels we require, which can ran in any- where and ran away from anything. Would it not be a good move for the govern- ment to take all these sailing veeseis and convert them into steamships, a# has already been gent¥emen; and when he resumes the writing of | done with the Iine-of-battle ship Franklin? his, letter, he tells Gen. Cam that something within the last twelve hours had completely changed hie lordship’ views. The subsequent » ) developements show how completely Mr. Dallas was humbagged. In the memorandum of the conversation of that day with the American Minister, Lord Malmesbury admits that the bighest English authorities on maritime law were against his claims, and that France, who was in close alliance with A ‘Puniumpeton of 16th October saye:—Afver several " En It could almost be done for the sum about to be expended on the proposed new sloops. Then, with a eufficiency of light draught steam- ers carrying heavy guns, we would have an on- tirely eteam navy, equal to all the requirements of the nation. We throw out this suggestion for the bénefit of the Navy Department and Congress. Let the American navy be entirely of steam vereels, Then that branch of the pub- lic servicer would be in keeping with the epirit of Tux Busce ww OWR Pupiic Scuoors.—We have & full report of a Sermon delivered by Arch- bichop Hughes yesterday morning in St. Patrick's Cathedral, and which possesses much interest at this particular time from the fact that a portion of it refers to the question of the Bible ia our public schools, It iscrowded out of our columns | this morning to make room for the European, Central American, and other newa, The recent agitation of the Bible question as one of the tests in the election of our school officers gives peou- liar importance to this portion of his remarks, and will cause them to be read with much atten- tion by all who have taken a part in its discussion. In the words of the Archbishop, the Catholics ‘have c pse! to war upon a system which the great majority of our citizens seem to approve.” This is right, and if they want to teach iv schol the particular dogmas of their religion they thould do #0 at the r own expense, and not endeavor to force their own system upon Protestants or to mix it up with our public schools, The policy which the Catholics, according to ArchLishop Hughes, have determined to pursuc in this matter, has taken away from the Know Notbings the only plauk which they had left in their platform to stand upon. That plaffk was the Bible in our public schools, and it will be interesting to know what they will do under the circumstances. As the majority in the last eleetion decided to have the Bible in the schools, and as the Catholics have ceased to war upon tie subject, the course which the Know Nothings intend to pursue hereafter to keep themselves together, is a pro- blem for the curious, News or TH Stave TRADE FROM AFRIOA AND ne Guir.—We publish in anotter part of our pa- ver thiv morning, two highly interesting aecounts relative to the slave trade on the African coast and in the Gulf—the first, a statement of the -pecial a ent of the government who aceom- panied tle friga'c Niagara to Atrica with the ne- groes taken at Charleston from the brig Ecko ; and the other, an account of the doings of the yacht schooner Wanderer. Upon the former subject, the statement of Dr. Rainey furnishes much valuable information, and his experience on the African coast will no doubt prove of muck value to the government, With reference to thy Wander-r, if the state- ments of the Savannah Republican and Charles- ton News can be relled upon, s'aves have been Ja ded directly from: Africa on our owa shores. It may turn out, how: ver, that this is not the case, but that the slaver discharged her humana cargo in Cuba. It is evident that the slave trade cannot be stopped by any efforts of ours, unless Spain suppresses it on her part. When the traffic in Africans is recosnized as piracy by all Powers alixe, and parties caught in the act are certain to be hanged at tbe yard arm for that crime, there will be an end to the slave trade; but as long-as Spain kecpe the port: of Cuba open to the slave ship the traffic is liable to spread, not only to our coasts, but over every available part of the world THE LATEST.

It will be recollected thet the complaint was made by the Surveyor of | ort Jefferson, Mr. 3. 8. Norton, who stated that bis suspicions wore exeited by seciug the vessel undergoing repairs, new water tanks of unusual size, foreign sailors, and, above ali, her clearing for Charieston from Port Jefforson, and paying for bringing of provisiona in a lightor from New York, when bor quickest way would be tw stop at Néw York ov her way aad save the lighterage. Ali these ‘acts tended to make Mr. Norton's suspicions very strong, amt he immo diately came dowm to New York and made ‘arrangements for the geiaure of the weasel, which was ef- fected on the 9th of June by Capt. Lane, ia the Revoauc cutter Harriet Lane. There were on board at the time, 4 crew of three Americans and eight forciguers, with a pret- ty good ‘tock of provisions in the lightor—such as deaus, ham, onious, rice, pork—in quantities auitable to last a cargo o darkies long enough to get them from Cuba to some convenient American port, The District Attorney and United States Marshals Rynders and O'Keefe, visited the vessel, and expressed themselves as particularly satis- fled with the innocent purpose of the voyage, aud quilte indignant that a gentleman just about to start on & plea- sure trip should be 80 wantonly distagbod. The story of Capt. Corrie was, that he was going oa a ple sure trip to the west Indies; that he preferrod to go round Montauk Point to going through Hetl Gate, and did pot care for the expepke of ligbtorage; thet the Wanderor had delicacics in her stor os winch, with the coatiness of her outtt, would show that she was not destined for the siave trade; that she could bot carry. ton niggers, and ‘hat the water tavks were intended for ballast; and the coarse pro- visions for the crow. After a very cursory examination by the United States District Attorney, the vessel was nilowed to depart, the Surveyor of Port Jefferson having been kept on aod off, waiting for some defaite proceed- ings, until he Gually went hore in disgust. The affidavit which he made at the time was withheld from-tie repor- ters, and, we believe, never published, The following conversation between oue of the HekaLp reporters aad the Macebal will show how widely twe persons might differ 4. The reportor met Captain Rynders and Keefe on board the Harriet Lane, on the night of the arrival of the Wanderer at New York, whea the following conversation ensued — Kxvortan—Captain Rynders, T ehould like to goon board the Wanderer with you, if there are no objections, Mr. O'Keere— You, there are decided objections; wo don’t allow any one on board. Rmowten—-But reporters are exceptions to all general rules. Mr. O'Kae—Well, wo don’) want any reporters om board, Temeonran—Why not? Mr. O'Kaor—0h, the idea of bor being a slaver is ridi- us. She is 80 contly, Terorr—Why, my dear sir, don't yon know that they conld afford to throw away ® veasel of that kind every trip, (fehe ran in a good cargo of niggerst Mr. O'Kexre—Od no; she is Wo small; and her cabing Oto up beautifully. uaroerek—W by, @ carpenter could clean her out below in a fow hours, and then she would be a little more roomy. OUR NAVY AND THE SLAVE TRADE Apropos to the above, the following paragraph from the recent report of the Secretary of the Navy may be of intereet:— As there was reason to suspect, from information com monioated to Lieut. Maflit, that other Amorioun vessola wore engaged in the slave trade, and wou d shortly arrive ot the beth coast of Cube, the United Sates steamer Teepatel, under the commagt of Lieut. Parrott, was sent to that werpity to Intercept nem.
