BETWEEN THE PRINCETON AND GREIT
WEsTERN.—The letter of Capt. Iloss:F.N of the Great
Western, confessing his vessel beaten, is an amusing
pr4duction, and a precious piece of John Bullism. It
is irtipos sible for an Englishman to give an unprejudi
ced or anything like a fair opinion on any question
wHero his national pride is concerned. The habit of
exiltiag, every thine English, and depreciating every
thing net English has beco ne part of the nature of a
Briton, and no situation nor circumstances can induce
bite to abandon it for a moment. Capt. HosrcEN ad
mits with some appearance of candor, that his vessel
wisihadly beaten by the Princeton, and does not take
very much time in stating the disadvantages the Great
Western lti'mred under. He then goes on to say that
thikrosult of the race clearly proves—what would you
suppose, render! Of course you will say that Capt.
ilosxissi must concede that it 1 roves the superior skill
era ingenuity of the planners arid constructors of the
Psine.eton. Nothing like it—Captain HOSICEN'S trite
,B:ritisk, blood and breeding would not let him say so
generous a thingt—The Captain has not a compliment
ary Syllable for American mechanics—oh no,—the re
mdi4th° race only proves to Captain Ilosicen's saris
faction that the new British ship, the Great Britain,
"will to a moral certainty surpass every Steamship
CM las gone before her:" including, of course, the
PT-inton, that has just passedltwhil ait ) so handsomely.
We see some of the eastern editors compliment Cant.
FL for the candid manner in which he acknowledges his
dzfertit.. We confess we cannot see any thing candid in
his curd. Nobody thanks him for admitting the self
e;ildeat fact that the Princeton passed his ship—and
the i , fay he consoles himself fur making the admis
siiin: in saying that a British ship will be able to beat
all ships (including the Princeton of course) is an
undignified piece of boasting.

BANKS OF NSW 011.1.C.C13.-A correspondent of the

the two Banks which are insolvent. They are, how

"THE NEXT GOVERNOR.
Messrs. Editors:—in the leading editorial article of

THIS ILT.LNOIS C(”1 , 11.4110NER1 IY LONDoN,—A
statement respecting the operations of the Illinois Ca
nal Commis , ioners in London, is thus summed up by
the New York American:
That the holders of the Canal Bonds in London have
agreed to subscribe at the rate of 121 per ct. on the
bonds held by them, on certain conditions:
Ist. That the statement put forth by the Commis
sioners, shall he verified to the satisfaction of Baring,
Brothers & Co., and Magniac, Jardine 4- Co.
2d. That the Governor of Illinois shall enter into a
contract for securing the repayment of the loan, by
vesting the canal In nil in trustees, as proposed by the
act of the Legislature.
Other conditions of detail follow, Nit part of the
a rrangement to be hireling, till $400.000 are subscrib
ed; and thishouses of Baring, and of Magniac, Jardine
& Co., not to be held liable to any responsibility, eith
er to the State of Illinois, or to the subocribers, by the
exercise of their judgment on the ritiestioa3 submitted
to them.
WHERr. ARE ALL. THE PICRLOCK9I—The Ameri
can Bank Lack Company (Andrews) have placed an
iron safe at the Fair of the American Institute, in Now
York, and put 300 dollars in the hands of a committee,
tvith order 3 to pal• it to any one" who will open the lock.
PATENT ELA3 3,L:TALLC BOOTS.—The New
York Post gives a d"scriptioa of this /as: invention,
from which we judge that the metalic boot will be in
great demand, if it will heal all the defects in imperfect
understandings, from which so many ammyances solely
arise. It is said that by the elasticity of the shank
which is pin , 2,41 in the inner sole, it gives a graceful
turn to the toot, and is very important t ) ladies and I
gontlemen fond of dancing; to the pedestrian it gives
ease, preventing the foot From pressing forward in the
boot; whilst:to flu-footed persons it is equally advan
tageous, as the arch of hollow of the boot is still pre
served; and by this process a walking boot or shoe
may be made with a low heel, and the hollow of the
foot not be exposed to the mod, as in the old method.
It gives support to all the muscles of the foot at the
same time, and so remarkably easy to those who are
troubled with corns. Persons required to stand at the
desk will find them a great desideratum. Military
and naval officers will find these boots and shoes to be
indispensable, after the first trial of their superiority.
They will he foundte be more durable, on account of
the elasticity of the sole, the foot maintaining one posi
tion in the boot.

Sun.
1" .. "F A correspondent of the flo,ton Courier, sup
posed to be Mr. E. 11. Derby, gives the "candid . ' Bog•
ton Daily Advertiser the following rub, in tt letter from
London:
"August 19. Called by appointment on Mr. li—
the editor of the Railway Magazine; found him a very
intelligent and obliging gel itl.man. Received from
him letters of introduction to the managers of the prin.
cipal railways, ir . l much information respecting raii
cars, graduents, and other subjects of interest. There
is a inanliness and an independence about this gentle
man which I particularly admire; he would incur ob
ligations to no railway company whatever, but would
be free to criticise them at pleasure; he even declined
giving me a letter to one superintendent whom he knew
for fear he might be supposed to incur some obligation.
His principle was that the press should be untrammel
led and fearless. I could not but think we were occa
sionally deficient in this independence at home.. Have
we not one leading journal rather too closely allied to
a railway corporation; too apt to espouse its supposml
interests, even though they may conflict with those of
the public; too much dispdsed to deet out to its confid
ing readers such facts and such partial statements only
as shall sustain a certain policy, and to close its columns
to the other side of the argument 1"
MAIIII.IAGE IN TUX. Sri:sr:T.—We learn from the
Missouri Courier that, on the 20th ult., Squire .T. F.
Mahon linked Miss Eliza Little to Mr. Nelson Aubrey,
it the streets of Palmyra. The circumstances are a
hitietomautic. It seams two families were traveling
westward in company, with one of which was a fair
lady, with tho other the loving swain, who had con
cluded to m-srry- The old folks refused to consent.—
They thus traveled on until the families with their wa
gons parted, each taking a different road, when tins la
dy contrived to escape from her parents' wagon and
follow then of her lover. On reaching town, they jump
ed out of their wagon, culled the Squire, hitched traces
and drove on "their way rejoicing." The opposition
of her parents had mearly, driven the young lady to a
state of de=traction, her lover drove her to the state
of Illinois.
