Prom the New York F.xprr** Sltetek of thej History of Atlantic Steam Navigation. Ooe of the most interesting commercial projects now before the World, is the establishment of a line of steam ships between Cadiz and Cuba. We find this subject treated with much attention by the "Cronica,” a Spanish newspaper of the highest re* spectabihty, commenced in this citf about six momtis ago. Among other pomts connected with I this project, so important to Spam and her colonies ' and ao interesting to other countries, the editor ! gives an outlme of fee history and present con- I dition of ocean steam navigation, compiled from authentic sources, from which we derive the fol lowing view, by a condensed translation of an ' article in the Cronica of March 23d. I The proposed line of Spanish steamers between i Cadiz and Cuba promises to add one of the most , important link* to the great chain of Ocean navi gation. The history of preceding enterprises is important to be known by those who are embark . mg in this, as they may shun the errora and take I advantage of the success of those who have gone | before. The English were slow to believe that the navi gation oi the ocean by steam was possible: and. until* they had made many experiment* in the Bay of Biscay and aroond the British islands, tney did not think of the extension which might bfegiveß to the power of steam upon the Aliaulic. Even afer practical men have given proof of what might con fidently be expected. Dr. Lurdner. a respectable i writer on machinery, declared that lie thought a j voyage to the moon more practicable than one across the Atlantic bv steam. I In 1536 and ’3*7,several steamboats crossed the Atlantic, which were the precursors of all succeed ing ones/ The Royal William and Sirius were among these; and a year or two afterwards, the “Great EiverpooP began to ruu a* a regular packet between Southampton aud Alexandria in Kgypt- She was lost two or limn* years since. The -Great Western'’ began u. plv a* a regular packet, between Bristol and New \ork in, lS3b, without any assistance from the government. She continued until withdrawn in 1&45. when in con seqQencs of the loss of her consort, the “Great Britain,’' tier owner sold her to the Royul Steam Mail Company, since which 'he ha* been employ ed in that service. She measure* 1.300 tons, and has a power of 430 horses. After running two or three years, the size of her boiler was reduced, in order u> make room fur more cargo, and her speed was in conaeqaence ifomuderab.y diminished. Her shortest passage from England to New York was 12 days and lb hours. She ha* now crossed the Atlantic about sixty lime, in the course of which she has never been obliger to sctiJ bofore a storm nor to seek refuge m any port, nor undergone any I injury irom accidents, well meriting the preference shown for her by her passenger* Site has paid a medium dividend, as we have U*eo informed, oi seven or eight per cent, and, although *he ha* been succeeded by ships ol a superior order in all respects, she i* still spoken of as admirably con ducted.

He wus also to keep an extra steamer ready at Liver pt*ol. to lake an express despatch to the linttsn North American provinces, at auy time, with -l hours notice- For this he was lo receive 1 14ft.000 sterling a year. Four excellent ships were imme diately built: viz. The Briltannia. the Acadin.the Columbia, and the Caledona; and two years later the Hibernia and the Cumbri i were added to the number. All these are ot nearly the same size as me ' treat Western, but superior in construction and sailing All ot them, it we mistake not, have grounded among the fog* and shoals cl Nova Sco tia; and the Columbia was totally lost ou Seal !i -land.

Macailav s ORTiicxjiuriiT—The fuss that lias been node about the Harper's method of prmtiog Mncaumv's spelling; is at an end. All that hns been said about it, is lime, ink und paper wasted. If it has dona good, which, in all probability it has not, it has done no very great harm, aad there is nothing more in be said. By the Canada, the Harpers received a letter from Mr. Macaulay him self acknowledging the receipt of their edition, commending its typograpy, and adding, like a liberal man. os be undoubtedly is— “ The RpelUog differ* from mine. But the differ ence does not affect either the substance or style of ray wori; and I therefore do not consider my self as personally aggrieved by the change. If my sentiments were suppressed, or my language alter ed, 1 should think that I had a right tu oomplum. But, as to the spelling, 1 have no wish lo except that it tnay be such as is generally acceptable to the American readers. T. B- Macaiilat.” General Scott and General Taylor.

The interview iq jirr-eoee | ol the congregation, terminated by the President inviting Gen. Scott to call upon him. On the following day General Scott called at the President's, and sent up bis card. Two gentlemen were with the President when it was received; and, instead of inviting Gen. Scott to come to him in his ollice. which is up stain, he promptly scot a message to the General, inviting him to go into his private parlor below, when he would join him wiih ihe leant possible delay. Within live imuutes he dismissed the gent cmen with him. and went down stairs to receive Gen. ScoU. He did not find him in the parlor, and inquired of the porter where h*- was.
