Then he added, more calmly: • "Do you know one thing, captain—" Fogg." 1, " Well, Captain Fogg, there is some• thing of the Yankee in you." 1 : And having paid his passenger whit he thought to be a compliment, he went away, when Phileas Fogg said to him: , 1 r I 4i NOW, thiS shij belongs to me ?" • "Certainly, from the keel to the truck of the mast, all the wood, under- • stand."

This day, the poop -deck, the cabins, the bunks, and the spare deck all went. •The next day, the 19th of De ember, they burned. the masts; the ra ts, and the spars. They cut down the masts and delivered them to the axe. The crew displayed an incredible zeal. Passe- partout, hewing, cutting, sawing, did the work of ten men. It was a perfect fury of dernolition. The next day, the 20th, the railings, the armor, all of the ship above water, the greater part of the deck, were con- sumed. The Henrietta was now a vessel cut down like a pontoon. But on this day they sighted. the coast of Ireland and Fa,stnet Light. However, at 10 o'clock in the even- ing,, theship was only- passing Queens- town.

These twelve hoots which the Amerit can courters gairedd, Phileas Fogg ine tended to gain too.

Towards one o'clock in the morning, the Henrietta entered Queenstown har- bor at high tido, and Phileas Fogg, hav- ing received a 'vigorous shake of the hand from. Captain Speedy, left him on the levelled- hulk of his vessel, still worth the half of what he had add it for ! 1 ' The priesengers landed immediately. Fix,atthis moment, had a fierce desire to arrest Mr. Fogg. He did not do it, however. Why ? , What conflict was going hn w i th in him? Had he changed his mind with reference to Mr. Fogg? Did he finally perdeive that he was mis- taken? Fix'hoWever, did not leave Mr. Fogg.

Depressi n of Trade in England, The Loud n Times of a recent date says : "The Board of Trade returns for the last six nonths show strong evidence of the press re to which our commerce is sabjected.

For much of this, ho ever, the public have been prepateml. he slackness of business is so universal th t almost every class is aware of it as a fa t. It is the degree in which the state of things, already too familiar to business aen by personal, experience, • may affect t te general sum of our busi- ness calculations that the public are anxious to certain. How far does the aggregate o losses in particular branches of business ndicate a further decline in the busines of the nation? What signs are there th t the approach of more pros- perous tim s is still to be postponed? • Taken as a 'hole, the present returns oannot in t is sense be considered un- satisfactory. If there is little to show that we a nearer .a.more prosperous seasonather are many proofs that the lengthened epressien has sot produced general eh ustion.

The healthy con titution of our commercial system remains unimpaired while we wait for the ge eral gloom which prevails in all parts of Ithe world to disperse. We suffer, it is rne, but not organically, and. theretofore Iwe may fairly hope -that when the b tterstimes at last arrive we shall be fou d holding our former posi- tion, with the additional advantage of many lessons from the period of adver- sity throng which we have passed. We have inerea ed evidence of commercia1- diffi.3ulty on the one hand, and of reserve force on th other. Our manufacturers and merch nts are still holding their own, in spit of the altered condition of business an the general stagnation of trade.
