ENGLISH TRAVELLER-THE COHFORTS 0!‘ THE AOL

The lbllowi is an account of an English traveller, by any L. Tuekerman, in his recent werk pubfuhed by Redliold:

" The most comfortable of English drud- ges are the intermediate class; they who not hr the producer as brokers and agents.

of -the art of getting along, reveals at once the commercial traveller. I remember one entered the car at Derby just at night-fall and the guard pitched into his lap a compactly strapped bundle, which, , ' inset in » vacant place, he began to unloose. With the woolen shawl it contained he thoughtfully swathcd his lower extremities: then ang- ing his‘ hat above, be doitned a cosy little skull-cap, from the pocket of his bu e over- coat; he then drew out asmall antern, and attached it by a hook to the side of his cushioned seat; having i nited the lamp by means of a iucifer matc , he spent some time in arranging a little shade aflixsd tn the machine, so as to accomodatc the reflection to his eyes; then with an air of the most cool satisfaction, he took from c Times” and "Punch,’, wet from the press, and com- posed himself to read for an hour, at the expiration of which time he extinguished the lamp, an after several preparatory elcngations of arms and legs, laid his red face against the stufl'ed leather, and no- thing more was heard from the dark heap for the rest of the journey but an occasio- nal somniferous grunt of animal content.

'A:vtt«:iucan STEAMIIIIPI.-()l'l the Pacific side of South America, steamsbips are making good progress in the affections of the people. The Chilian Congress has lately closed its sessions, and one of its important measures was to adopt, with only one opposing vote, a project of the Govem- ment establishing a line of steamers be- tween their coast and Europe. e propo- sal as ct forth by the Minister of the In- terior, is to make an appropriation in aid ofa line of vessels, “ with auxiliary steam engine,” which is to he established between Caldera and Liverpool, touching at Valpa- raiso, in the Straits of Magellan, and at Rio Janeiro; one vessel to sail every six weeks, and never to be over 70 days on the pa-sage. The Company is granted a bonus of $60,000 per annum for ten years, an ex- clusive privilege for the same term, nud exemption from anchorage duties. The compan is made up entirely of people from the United States.

AN itrnntsr. BsnItoorir.—'l‘he Paris corres- pondent of The Mirror of Fashion gives the fol- lowintt account of the bedroom of the Empress F-ttttcuie. at the Tcilerics, having seen it previous to her Majesty's recent retnm from Fontainbleiiu. VVe copy it by way of a suggestion for those who cultivate imperial splendor and luxury in the rich metropolis of the new world:

- “The upholsterera have furnished it with :i msttnilicient sky-blue silk tenmre along the walls. which is fixed by gold frames, in the style of Louis The arm chairs, chairs, sofas and lounges are of the srime style and like silk. As for the bed, all made with gilt carved wood, it is covered with a ' .9 of Mcline lace, and the curtains, of blue silk and lace, are bung down all around it, in the same manner as the old beds of oitr grandmothers. The carpet is also ofablue color, and so thick that one would take it for a bear skin. It was made at Aubusson, expressly for the place in which it lays. The ceiling of the room was painted by Mr. Bresson, and it re- presents a group of geniuses throwing flowers from rich baskets. The painting is so well done that no one could believe that the figures are not alive. in short, this magnificent bedroom is the -ne plus ultra of riches and elegance. But what are the dreams under those lac ’!’

DONALD McKsv.—The enterprise of our esteemed fellow-citizen, Donald McKay, and the deep feeling of regret which exists at the misfor- tune which has befsllen the noble monument of his mechanical genius, induces us to give a few facts in his personal history, which. are of public interest. Mr. McKay is about 45 cars of age, and is one of a family of eighteen c ililren. four- teen nf whom wit parents, still survive The senior Mr McKay is s Scotchman by birth. He resides at East Boston, and is s fine, hearty gentleman, able now to perform as much manual labor as either of his seven sons, all of whom are practical shi carpenters. He has seven daugh- ters living, a I of whom are married.

Donald McKay was born at Sbelburne. Nova Sr.-otis. I-ls went to New York at an early age, and first, worked as a day labourer in a shi yard. From a short sketch of Mr. McKay's life, nmisb- ed to a journal in another city by our nautical friend of the Atlas, we learn that he learned his trade as a shipbuilder with Mr. Bell of New York, by whom he was afterwards recommended to work in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. was selected from among nearly a thousand men, as the foreman of a gang who had some particu- lar work to perform. But i strong Native Ameri- can party feeling prevailed among the mechanics, and the noble and sltilful foreman was not able to retain his humble station.

Mr.‘ Bell, his former employer, sent him to Newhsrygport, to draught and superlntend the building a number of ships for New York mer- chants. la this new field of labor he found an op‘ portunity to display that genius which is now urti- versally awarded ' I soon not up in business, and the fame of the excellence of his ves-

Capt. Sturgis, agent of the Underwriters has

charge of the wreck. The large quantity of flour

Or. ENGLAND AND Yotmo AMllltcA.—-

In h Very able oration, on evacuation day, in N. York on the 25th of November,

during the last war, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said:

wic: has parent and son stood confront- ed in battle. May a third conflict never come! The spectacle of two eminent na- tions, foremost in civilization and christian- ity, employing the energies which religion and peace have develo within them, for purposes of frattricidal war, would be one of the most accursed that time could look up- on. The wounds which the original rupture produced are healed; the animosity of the war of l8l2 died with the echo ofthe cannon on the deep, and sank to the bottom of the sea. Since then kinder councils have pre- vailed. The parent,is becoming proud 0

her child. 'I‘ho chil’ prou of paternal honors. The call ashington theirs. Cromwell, and Vane, d Pym, and Hamp- den are ours. Ours too, is an honour in

their history—the Mngna Charla, the En- glish Reformation-—the ejecting of tyranny are theirs; the establishment of constitution- nl liberties. Ours are their names ofgcnius; our Chaucer it is; our Spencer; our Shak- spearc; our Bacon; our Newton; our Milton. We will do by their libraries, unreprovcd, what they did by our ships; we will hoard them; we will question and claim their authors; we will impress and bind them, and send them forth to serve our youth. And if the printers of Great Britain are fierce to make reprisals, and send forth armies ofcompositors to seize our Irving, and Prescott, and Bancroft, and Hilliard; our Emerson, and Byrant and Dana, and VVillis; our Tyng, and Bethune nnd Bd- wards—why, we will not go to war for that; but we will thank God that Old England has yet got a pee le who love good reading, and know where to look for it.—Nuy, never —never let our fl s be interlocked again in the fierce fray dfbattle;-—-or, i in o ' mysterious overruling of human affairs, the English and American flags shall again stream otit over the battle field, let their battle he on one side, and on the great field of the world’s liberty, when tyrants are finally taught men shall be free and nations protected in their right of self-government. In such a conflict as that—if it must come ——God has again hardened the heart of Phnroah, that he will ttot let the people go, and he decrees that the people shall come forth from the land of bonds e by the gate- way of war--then let Great ritain become Moses; France and America as Aaron and Hur; and while they hold up the venerable hands, let it be again, as when it was writ- ten, “ And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed. * And his hands were steady until the going down ofthe suit.” Until the sun go down on the earth for the last time, let England and America stand for the liberty or the world.

Snnt ltiiartnvo.-—It is pleasant to see that this wonder-working steam can bring landlord and mill owners into social intercourse, honour- able to both sides: it is not less remarkable that it bids fair, ere long, to merge the two

eat classes in the one class of manuhcturers. n the one aspect it is exaltin the recent manufacturers to a level with the lords of the soil : in the other it is converting the landlords themselves into master manufacturers, and their rtns into manufactories. The day after Mr. Salt’s princely ‘do, Mr. Meehi was the invited guest of the erts Agricultural Association. An curl, and a baron, and so forth, were as- sembled, in expectation of the speech of the day from a London tradesman ; one who had made an era tion from the counter, (with wealth srnseseil there.) into the broad acres of the territorial aristocracy. Nor did the nest dis- ti int the nobility and sqnires who ad invit- cdlioim evidently to stimulate their own tenants. He dealt out wholesome suggestions to land- lords with large estates, complaining of want of capital toirn rovc, honestly advising them to sell part of ir land, an prove the rest with the money. He «rebuked tenants, w clinging to the old ways, g-udged the landlord a fair interest for lie mono be bd laid out; but the burden of his was steam.

A company of men as been organised in New York, with the design of participating in the war now waged by Turkey against the Out of lluseis. They make an appeal to the public for funds to carry them to Turkey. ' '

As regards our own relations with the United Siam the President says that the Fisheries question is likely soon to be settled in a manner that will besatislsetory to all psrtiestiind that the diflicttltiee and embsrrassments whic have arisen between the two countries in reference to certain central American questions are at this moment the subject of nsgociation in London, from which an early and amicable arrangement may be conttdentl y anticipated. As a preventative to future misunderstsndirgs, he recommends the tracing and establishing of the boundary’ line between the north-western territory of the nited States and our colonial lands in the same region. Remembering how warm and bitter our quarrels with the United States were upon the subject of the Oregon and Maine boundaries, we are certainly inclinedtoconcur with President Pierce in the prudence and wisdom of the course he suggests. e trust. therefore. that his recommendation will be adopted.

The general picture of ,the actual condition of the United states as presented in thisjrpt meesago of the new President is such as ottrafiive kins- tnsn may well be proud of. Let us by that they will never abuse their well earned petity.—— Lotulon News ofthe l»l'orld. ..

Between March and Drcember, I848, their losses, it is said, amounted to £5,000,000, the result of the sudden depreciation of all Funded Railway property in Europe. This was the first haavy loss the house ever experienced, lit it did not ofl‘ect their credit, and itis more than probable than brighter skies have since enabled them to retrieve a portion of this loss.

We had in'the last Royal Gazette the conclusion of Mr. Wbelsn‘s defence. There has been some lit. tle ingennity, and no small share nfcunoingtlisplaysd; and it is amusing to observe with what anxiety Mr. Whelan labors to free himself front incidentiilchurgeu

It might he. and we have reason to believe, that, the strength of this House huv. lug been tested on the amendments. which were jour

nalinsd, the minority did not care to divide upon the main motion, as it is termed; but it is as clear as the sun at noon day, that those who voted for the amend- ment. voted also against the main tnotion, rind that when Mr. Whelan says that Mr. Havilsnd. Mr. Long. worth, Mr. Done and the rest, voted for that motion,

he is guilty of altering a falsehood, knowing it to be each. In the same style, he runs dwoy from the

question in point of time, wishing it to be believed

that the only tnstter in dispute was, whether the deed

he had laid on the table gsvo hitu a legal qualification; whereas the charge was, that on the day of the new r‘- netioti Inc had not the legal qualification that he swore

leave of hint and this disagreeable subject. with this
