Mr. Mattinson, who P"e:.:Je,i at the obsequies, remarked that ’ the Americans were evidently in the t nsAtlantic trade to stay.” Mr. M:*t.til- - hit upon the precise truth Africans used to be in the trans-Atlantic trade, and would have remained i it but for circumstances beyond +hcir control. Those circums arc n rave disappeared. There is no long': oy reason why we should not acqur e * he same supremacy in shipping that we have gained in almost everyth! ->g e'te.
