" Tbe Mlatrcaa of tha
The old prophecy, or Sybilline Oracle, of
" Merlin," run?
" When Neptuuu'a Iwi k with Htrlpea l? rod,
The alckly lion ahull hide its he?d."
Ihe interpretation given to this von, that
when the navy of America should cover the
seas with its red stripes, Britain's pride would
be humbled* We have no desire to humble the
just pride of Britain, nor to assume for our na
tion the title of ".Mistress of the Seaa." It
will be sufficient for us to feel that we are her
equal upou the oceau, and it will bo no source
of regret to perceive that we have many equals.
A late number of the London Shipping Ga
eetle has the following paragraph, in an article
upon the future of America:
" Wo liuve no desire, at present, to enter
upon any question of disputed policy ; but we
wish to record our opinion that the empire of
the seas must, before long, be ceded to America;
its persevering enterprise, its great and accru
iug wealth, are certain to secure this prize ;
nor will Euglaud bo in a situation to disputo it
with her. Without this crowning capital to its
power, (he onward lfaarch of the United States
to what wo believe will be overwhelming great
ness, might not be so speedily accomplished;
but America, as mistress of tho ocean, must
overstride the civilized world."
May it never bo tho ambition of the Unitod
States to "overstride the civilized world," nor
any part of it; but may we always recognise
the right of man to self-government, aud may our
warfare never tend to other objects than the
preservation of thiB right to ourselves, and the
procurement of it for others who desire to pos
sess it. Wo need no more extended territory
than wo possess. The Union us it is will adhere
together, and in extending its limits we may but
41 tiy to evils' that we know not of."
Touching the navy, however: wo entertain a
lively hope that t'ae power of steam will prove
the means of dignifying the ofiicc of this vast
arm of the national prowess, and that the Bliips
in the service of our government will ere long
prove messengers of peace to tho people of
cvory clime. We believe the day is not far dis
tant in which the cruise of a naval ship will be
in a direct line from port to port, in the per
formance of duties useful to the great family of
man, in disseminating the light of knowledge and
good-will wherever man has his abiding-place.
Tho glory of American mariners is even now
in the merchant service. It is the men who
impart this glory to the nation. The men and
vessels of onr navy have never been wanting in
efficiency in the hour of trial; but it is to our
merchant ships wo have looked for the ele
ments of superior skill aud invinoible power.
There has been the mariner's best school, and
the source of our navy's greatest pride! But
what will not our navy prove, when (the dnan
and the lush unknown I) every ship upon the
ocean shall bo commanded by educated and
accomplished officers, aud manned by mon who
would disdain to brook other authority than the
laws of their country in their just administra
tion !
It is declared by many, and even by a distin
guished officer of the American navy, that
rough fare, the chastisement of the lash, and
th?? dram, are essential to a proper economy,
good discipline, and a wholesome slate of feeling.
We do not believe a word of it. There is no
other very strict cconomy used iu the service,
and we object to any such niggardness in wages
as shall keep Americans from serving on board
our ships as seamen; wo object, also, to any
mode of discipline that can tend to degrade an
American; nnd we object to even tho faintest
sanction of the use of a stimulant that is cer
tainly unneccisan/, and that has ever proved the
greatest bane of tho uncared-for sailor.
If we are told that these things are all neccs- j
sary to "the class of men" who ship on board
onr vessels, we reply that the doing away with
them will certainly effect the desired object,
and bring in the proper cluss of men?men
from the great class of freemen, who recognise
the existence of no classes, save such as distin- I
guish the honest, the industrious, aud the '
?worthy from the base and the degraded. As
eurely as effect follows cause, so surely will |
good men be found in every ship upon the
ocean, when good wages aud good treatment
are guarantied ; and this effect in time becom
ing a cause, we shall possess a navy that will
prove the pride of our country and a blessing
to the world.
Our Naval School is a new auxiliary in the
service, and its influence will prove beneficent!
in the highest degree. In past times the Amcr
ican Navy has derived honor from the high
oharacter and attainments of its officers; but
for it there is truly " a better day coming," j
when every man who siiail boast tho proud title
of an American Naval Officer will be found in
all respects worthy his high position.
Rb-Iwtermbht or Uirabd.?To-dsy Phila
delphia beholds an imposing spectacle. Quite
a generation has elapsed, the Bulletin says,
since that city has beheld a Masonic parade, so
that, to the great inas* of spectators, the pro
cession will be an entire novelty. " The Ma
sonic fraternity deserve credit, we would add,
for the spirited display which they inter.d to
make, not lees than for the honor wLich they
pay to the memory of their departed brother.
The orator of the day, the Hon. Josepli K.
Chandler, late Grand Master, is known to the
community as one of the most finished speak ers
which our country affords, for occasions li ke
the present; and there is no doubt that, in
spired by the event, the scent, and tho pr r>
sonce of so many distinguished fellow-citizen.-*,
he will equal, if not surpass his best effuvts
hitherto."
The Hrillrim also a^pionisb es clergymen not
to forgot the following injunction of Glrard,
which it quotes from his Wdl :
"I enjoin and requite that no ecclesiastic,
missionary, or minister of any sect whatsoever,
shall ever hold or eierciM nay station or duty
whatever in said College; nor ahall any such
person ever bo admitted for any purpose, or as

W? learn from lb? l*Mladelpbla Lolyer, that
the Chinese Muwtin, in that city, ?u erowded
to overflowing, ou Saturday evening last, to
bear Dr. Kinkel on tb? condition of Germany,
and the uieana of republicanizing the German
' Fatherland. Dr. Tiedeman was called to tbe
cbair, assisted by some twenty or thirty vice
presidents. It was resolved to raise a German
national loan, after tbe example of that raised
by Mazzini, the Italian patriot-statesman. Dr.
Kinkel spoke with great effect on tbe wrongs
suffered by the German people, and the neces
sity of the people working out their own salva
tion. He assurod the meeting that the armies
of Germany could no longer be relied upon by
tbe princes, and that nothing was wanting but
money to strike an effective blow for liberty.
He was followed by Messrs. Itemak and Grand,
in German, and by Messrs. Tyler and Elder, in
the English language.. A committee was ap
pointed to receive donations and periodical sub
scriptions, which at once entered upon its func
tions, when, in a few miuutes, a very handsome
amount was collected and subscribed. His
honor the Mayor of the city, being perceived in
the crowd, was invited to the stand, and Dr.
Kinkel presented to him. Mr. Qilpin shook
hands with him and the president of the meet
ing, and then retired. Soon after, the meeting
adjourned. This (the Ledger remarks) is a very
good beginning ; and if the Germans of other
cities imitate the example, a respectable fund
will, no doubt, be raised for patriotic purposes.
How compactly, how surely, the monarchies
are working together for the suppression of
republicanism, and the " guarantying" of terri
tories to perpetual bondage ; and how readily
they can press into their service as policemen
the republics of the world ! But only let Italy
rebel, or Hungary resist Imperial power, and
neither national nor municipal laws, nor treaties,
will ever be found in the way of the strong arm
of tyranny.
A Loud Call to Great Britain tot Sym
pathy at. Home.
Under this head we have already adduced
evidence which, we think, must satisfy reason
able people that, if guided by a spirit of pure
benevolence in the extension of her sympathy,
Great Britain would find ample employment for
her energies in relieving misery at home, in
stead of sending her agents, stump-orators, and
publications to the United States. But we will
clinch the evidence by proof from one of her
own magazines, which cannot be suspected, in
a general review of the state of British society,
of depreciating the social compact of Great
Britain. Blackwood is ever ready to maintain
the superiority of monarchies over republics in
social advantages, and especially the practical.
It is a Tory journal, never lowering its aristo
cratic and monarchical tone, and often repre
hending republican institutions for their mani
fold evils; yet the following is a picture in the
August number. It is true that its remarks
are put into the mouth of Voltaire, by a piece
of fictitious machinery, extremely awkward,
but designed to furnish the reader with an imi
tation in style of the wit and humor of that
author, while the sentiments of the resurrected
Frenchman are widely diiferent, in some essen
tial particulars, from those of Voltaire. In
truth, the statement and opinions arc those of
the reviewer himself, aiming to imitate, and in
style successfully imitating, the point, epigram
matic liveliness, and vigor of Voltaire; but
many of the opinions expressed are superior,
in general truthfulness, to those of the French
poet and historian.
" I walk," he continued, " through the spa
cious streets and squares of London. I see the
residences of your wealthy men; the exterior
is not pleasing; but if I enter, I find in each
what deserves to be called a domestic palace.
In these palatial residences, many a merohant
is living amongst luxuries which no Roman ;
emperor could have commanded. I lose my i
way amidst the dark, noisome, narrow streets
rmd interminable courts and alleys of this same !
London. Each house, each sty, swarms with
life. And oh, heaven 1 what life it is ! They ;
are heaped like vermin. They prey upon each
other. How they suffer 1 how they hate! Full 1
of corroding anxieties, they endure a wretched
ness and torture which no Roman emperor j
could have inflicted upon his slaves."
J^"But, sir "
" 1 tell you I have soen the beggar at Na
ples. He is a prince. He lies in the sun on
the earth?it is his home?and the open sky
above him, it is his. He rises to beg, or to
work, or to steal?he does either with a savage
energy?tben lies down again, no leopard in the
forest more carelessly dispread. But poverty
in England is steeped to the lip in bitterness,
in care, in hatred, in anxiety. When bread
comes, it is eaten with fear and trembling for
the future. Tears are still tlowibg upon it.
Yes, you have indnbitahly progressed thus far;
you have made hunger reflective."
" Tro Bono Publico " strikes hard, but shall
be heard, if he will cail and convince us of the
facts he alleges. We have no motive for in
juring or offending the high functionaries in
volved in his narrative; but if it is true, wo
shall not suppress it.

We yesterday gave the proceedings in the
,1k of the libel of Henri de Aim* upon Mrs.
Tochuian, formerly Mademoiselle Appolloaia
Jagiello. Subsequently, tut we stated, another
warrant watt issued, by Juatioe John L. Smith,
for the arreat of aaid De Ahua, for another libel
upon Major and Mrs. Tochuian, jointly. This
last case the prisoner brought before J ustioe
Moraell, who held him to bail in the sum of
fire hundred dollars for his appearance to-mor
row (Wednesday) afternoon, at half-past four
o'clock. It is a case of an important charac
ter, and based upon a pamphlet recently issued
and circulated by De Ahna, containing most
serious matter, derogatory alike to Major Tocli
man and his lady, and the almost entire corps
of Hungarian exiles who have come to this
country, together with the venerable Governor
Ujhazi, and even Kossuth himself. It was de
sired by De Alma to enter bail in this case, as
in the previous one, without any investigation,
and to the same amount; but the nature of the
case, to the mind of the intelligent magistrate,
seemed to merit a more minute investigation,
in order to arrive at a just conclusion as to
what amount of bail should be required. The
defence offered bail in the sum of five hundred
dollars for his appearance at the approaching
term of the criminal court, as in the first case;
but that amount being considered too slight by
the complainants, the hearing was postponed,
and will be had before Justice Morsell to-mor
row, at the time above named.
Tiik Kevkni'ks of Cuba.?The Spanish min
ister at Paris, in his despatch to his govern
ment, says:
" The Spanish government have drawn upon
the surplus revenues of Cuba to the amount of
eighty millions of reals, whioh, under the most
favorable circumstances, it will probably take
two years or more to pay off; and should this
source fail, the bank and oth$r parties who have
taken the bills must bo indemnified out of other
revenues; and it may bo judged what chance
there would bo of the arrangement of the pub
lic debt being fulfilled under such circum
stances. The prompt putting down of the
Aguerro insurrection, and the destruction of
the Lopez expedition, will perhaps give a
breatliiug-time to Spain, which, it is to be
hoped, will be used to place things in better
order in this island and her other colonies."
Of course an island so essential to Spain
should not be permitted to go out of her pos
session, for " what chance would there be of
the arrangement of the public debt being ful
filled under such circumstances!" The argu
ment is conclusive!
Florida Claim*.
In transferring to our columns the subj oined
article from the Union of this morning, wo take
occasion to say that, as our contemporaries say
of themselves, we are not learned in the law,
but have frequently heard the merits of the
Florida claims explained by gentlemen of legal
celebrity, and have been led to the opinion that
they are just and should be speedily liquidated
by the Secretary of the Treasury, the officer of
the Government whoso duty it is to decide upon
cases of this character. The faithful, observ
ance of the terms of the treaty requires the
settlement of these claims with as little delay
as possible. The peoplo of our country, or
their representatives in Congress, never object
i to the payment of legitimate claims, claims
founded in justice, recognised by solemn trea
ties, and sustained by judicial decisions.
The article is as follows:
" A friend in Florida has sent us the decision
' of Hon. Isaac H. Bronson, judge of the district
i court of the United States for the northern dis
trict of Florida, in the matter of the claim of
Francis P. Feirrera, deceased, administrator of
Francis Pass, deceased, against the United
States, which arose under the 9th article of the
Florida treaty.
" This decision affirms the justice and pro
priety as well as the legality of allowing in
terest in this and all such claims; that the
awards heretofore rendered in the cases which
arose under the treaty were judicial decisions,
and possess the attributes of judicial judg
ments, being as such final and conclusive ; and
that the Secretary of tho Treasury is not au
thorized to alter or modify them at his pleasure.
"The pomphlet-form of this decision em
braces thirty-one pages, and presents the law
and the decisions bearing on the case with
much ability and force. We do not profess to
be lawyers, and undertake, therefore, to be no
better qualified to judge of the merits of this
case than others. But we feel authorized to
state that the facts set forth in the decision of
Judge Bronson seem fully to warrant his con
clusions, and induce us to believe that there
exists an imperative obligation upon the Gov
ernment to satisfy the claim upon the princi
ples of the decision.
Hon. IIarrt J. Thornton, or Alabama.? J
This gentleman, whose appointment as a Com
missioner of Land Claims in C alifornia we re
cently noticed, after being confined to his bed,
at Willard's Hotel, in this city, for a couple of
weeks, from an inflamed hand, proceeding from
an accidental injury, was yesterday called upon
to submit to the amputation of bis left arm,
midway between the wrist and elbow. The
1 operation was performed in an admirable man- i
ner by Dr. Frederick May, assisted by Drs. j
Miller and Stone. Tho patient was under the
influence of chloric ether, and awoke without I
having experienced any pain. We are gratified
to learn that ho is now considered in a fair way
for speedy restoration to health.
Mb. Conrai>, Secretary of War.? The
Tribune of yesterday says that this gentleman
had returned to his quarters at the Irving House,
from West Point; on Suuday, and was expected
to remain in that city several days.
Tho Cuban question is to be settled in Europ?
on the merits of anti-slavery. The liberation
of tho slaves by Spain, and the continuance of
slavery by the United States, are the themes.
Of course this will prove a popular and politic
view of the question.
Mr. Consul Owen.?The l'enntylvanian of
yesterday says: "The apology of Mr. Owen, the
American Consul at Havana, is a heart-sickening
tiffair to every citizen of this country, proud of
her honor and hor fame; and we do not wonder
that the press of all parties denounces his oold
and cowardly indifference when fifty human be
ings, nearly all his own countrymen, were butch
ered' by the Spanish officials.
Low Stage or the Delaware.?The Delaware
river, above the Trenton Falls, is said to be at
present within two inches of being as low it has
been within the last fifty years. A short dis
tance above Trenton the river is at no part more
than eighteen inches in depth even in the chan
nel, and of oourse can be forded without the
j slightest difficulty.
