Selected with Great Care

Information has been received by the De- partment of State from United States BY MR. STERNS, receipt of letters from persons in the United | States saying that they receive communi- |cations from persons residing ia Spain informing them of the death, in Spanish prisons, of some near relation or friend, and that decease: left a young daughter in | a destitute condition and asking for money 'to send the daughter to the United States. |The Minister states that upon iavestigation | of the same finds that without exception all | these letters were written with the inten- |tion of swindling the parties in the United | States to whom they were addressed.

| The expedition which sailed in the steamer *‘ Neptune” from St. John, New- 'foundland, on July 8th, with additional |stores for Lieutenant Greeley’s party, re- |turned on Saturday, to St John’s, having | been unable to reach Greeley. A solid ice barrier was encountered, extending from Cape Inglefield to Ross Bay. Gree'ey’s | station is in lat. 81 deg. 40 min. The ves- sel was only able to reach lat. 79 deg. 20 min. The party remained until September 5th, when the ice had formed to a_consid- erable depth and to remain longer would be toremain for the winter. The ‘‘ Nep- tune” established depots to secure Gree- ley’s retreat should it become necessary a year or two hence. No anxiety for the safety of the party is entertained; they are ‘amply supplied with stores of all kinds for two years.

The inquiry into the decline of American | shipping, authorized by Congress, will elicit valuable data respecting the shipping indus- try of Great Britain and the changes that have taken place during the past few years. In the days of wooden vessels the Boston and New York clippers rivalled those built at Aberdeen then the foremost shipbuilding port. Since iron shipbuilding came in the trade has gone to the Clyde and Tyne, even London failing to compete successfully, al- though the experiment was supported by Scott Russell and the Thames Shipbuilding Company. The Americans have lost not only the shipbuilding, but the ocean carry- ing trade. It strikes an observer as passing strange that only one Philadelphia iine, and that of small proportions, should carry the American flag between this continent and | Europe, and that leading Philadelphians go | to New York and take English steamers.
