General JOHNSTON has kept Ins word. He has passed through Echo Canon bristling with de serted Mormon breastworks, and has entered Sat Lake Citv. After twelve weary months of travail, his mission is accomplished, and whatever laurels were to be gained in an expedition of this sort, he has won them by his energy, prudence, circum spection and forethought. lie has fought no bat tles with the enemy; but many with the elements, and lie has exercised so careful a supervision over the forces under his command, as to maintain the discipline of the service, and preserve the health of his men in high condition. So far, therefore, as he is concerned, he has every reason to be satisfied with having done his duty. For the rest: "Great actions are not always true sons Of Great and miglity resolutions; Nor do the boldest attempts bring forth Events still equal to their worth.'' In spite of the imposing demonstration we have made, and the lavish expenditure wl l 'h has been a consequence of that demonstration, the question is still a pertinent one—the Mormon troubles at an end?" We know that Governor GUMMING is at the capital of his province, ready to enter upon his pro-Consular duties; that Judge ECKOLS is at hand prepared, nay anxious, to try such offenders as may be brought before him, and that the Gov ernor, and the Judge, and the Peace Commis sioners are at jierfeot liberty to enjoy the sweets of solitude, nnd an uninterrupted view of the Wasatch mountains, for in all Salt Lake City, "there is no man to trouble them or to make them afraid.''— It must be confessed that the Mormons are not a hospitable people, or 'liey would, at least, have tarried long enough in the City to welcome the Gentiles who had encountered the perils of the wilderness for the express purpose of paying them a visit of condolence, and of friendly admonition; but, "How Saints lead brothers by the nose, Is plain enough to him that knows." Still, it was cruel in them to nail up the win dows, and fasten the doors of their dwelling, and to vanish into space at the approach of a party of leg-weary officials, leaving them to camp out in the deserted streets, and to enquire of each other in blank despondency— "What may a gentleman find to do ?" Governor CUMMING sitting in bis tent, or under a wagon cover, like a Patriarch of old, lias address ed a proclamation to tlie churlish fugitives, assuring them of a full and unreserved pardon for past offences, and inviting them to return and resume their occupations within the shadow of the Lion House, and in tlie vicinity of the Temple—that marvel of Morman architecture—whose foundation walls are said to be twenty feet in thickness. The Saints have generously accepted the pardon, hut have respectfully declined to comply with the in vitation. They have 110 objection, they say, to tlie civil functionaries; but tliey have a decided repug nance to the "men of war" by whom those func tionaries are accompanied. Tlie petticoat element of Morraondom appears to be the principal source of difficulty, and, in view of their peculiar marital relations,' BUlOHAM YOUNG, astute and crafty, and liis chief adviser, KIMBALL— For profound, And solid lying, much renowned," have good reason (to fear that Judge ECHOLS will seize the first opportunity that offers, to declare that "When men become polygamous It is idolatrous, and paj?on No less than worshipping of Dagon." So, for the sake of preserving the "institution" from the damaging effects of a legal inquisition, they have put forty miles of space between their wives, and quasi-wives, and Gentile temptations; keep close watch and ward over that "stake in Zion," called Provo City, and respectfully solicit permission to evince their obedience to the Federal authorities by having as little to do with them as possible. Now, there is no doubt that so long m two bodies remain at a considerable distance from each other, they cannot possibly come into colli sion; but Governor GUMMING wants something more than a simple acknowledgedment of his authority; he wants to exercise jurisdiction. He was sent out to govern the people of Utah, and it is certainly very provoking, that they should pack up their goods and chatties; retreat south ward at his approach; leave him and his associates to realize Milton's idea of "retired leisure," and, in the absence of more material Saints and eher. libs, to court the acquaintance of the "cherub con templation." It scarcely comports, however, with the Federal notion of the fitness of things, that the Mormons should insist upon reducing the Execu tive office to a sinecure; or that they should so pro foundly venerate the legal attainments of Judge ECKOLR as to regard it highly improper to trouble either of those functionaries "with thoughts be yond the reaches of their souls," or with mysteries too recondite to be comprehended by any but the anointed chiefs of the Mormon hierarchy. Yet, what is to be done? They have complied with the humane conditions exacted of them; they have ac knowledged their allegiance to the UNITED STATES they have surrendered the records of the territory, and they have generously refrained from sending General JOHNSTON, and the troops under his com mand, to a certain unmentionable place "across lots," as they more than once truculently avowed they would do. If, on the other hand, they have "paltered in a double sense," what help have we? We sought peace, and we have gained it—the peace of silence and desolation. We demanded that a Gentile governor should be received, and they have consented to receive him, and declare themselves willing to submit themselves to his au thority—at a distance. We determined to re-estab lish the Federal Judiciary, and they have conceded our right to do so; but only one of the Judges has entered the territory, and they have abandoned the District over which he was appointed to pre side. Judge SINCLAIR is now also on his way to Utah, and when he makes his appearance ihere they will most-probably leave him as little to do as they have left Judge ECKOLS. If is a queer pre dicament. The Mormons yield up every thing we ask, yet we gain, in effect, nothing at all. The wave parts before us and closes behind us, yet we make no progress. We have sent on all the neces sary material for the formation of a new territorial government; but the machine won't work. It Stands still for want of motive power. The vital forces that we relied upon to put it in operation preserve a masterly inactivity, and there the ma chine stands, "As idle as a painted ship, Upon a painted ocean." Is there no remedy? Ilave we so committed ourselves, by our acts of grace and oblivion, that we have no recourse remaining, but to leave the Mormons masters of the situation? Is not passive resistance as much an act of rebellion as active hostilities? Can we, or ought we to respect as a religion, what we know to be a degrading su perstition, covering the most immoral practices? Have we any doubts that JOE SMITH was a rank knave, or that YOUNG and KIMBALL and all the other Chief Priests of the Mormon hierarchy are bold unprincipled Charlatans-preachers of vice and extenuators of crime? Why then should we treat with a people like this, as an independent power? Why should we even profess to respect those who have no respect for themselves? With ro<rues, fanatics, and traitors, it will not do to temporize, and this Mormon dispute above all oth ers, is "A controversy that affords Action for arguments, not words. Those arguments should be sharp, stern, and de cisive. Tbey are such as General JOHNSTON would have used, nnd such as it is. most probable we shall yet be called upon to adopt, )*forc we cau confidently assert that "order reigns in Utah." j We copy the following from the local columns ot the Sun of Saturday morning: VIOLATION" OF THE PILOT LAW.—On Thursday U.S. Hay- | sh&i Watkins arrested the brig Allston. Captain fur a violation cf the pilot laws of the State of -jary > and brought her back iuto port. It appears that the urig was here for the first time and when coming up the took a pilot on board. On Thursday morning before: goin„ out of the harbor the captain was asked if a j Ol take , ~ii(,t to which lie replied that he would not. lie was then asked if lie had a coasting license, winch he had not. then procured a tug and had l.is ve.se lowed as far as under ordained, That the master or owner of any vessel required to take out license under, and by virtue of this act, navigating .lie Chesapeake bay without such license, shall either take the first licensed pilot who offers to conduct his vessel to sea, or shall pay him full pilotage: Provided, however, the payment of full pilotage shall not be exacted from any inward bound ves sel which, on her arrival, and before her departure to sea, shall obtain from the board of pilots a license in pursu ance with the provisions of this act. 1 ' The preceding section of this law provides that all ves sels over one hundred tons register shall 011 the procure, ment of the license pay six cents per ton, which shall en title her for one year to navigate the Chesapeake Bay without a pilot. In this case it appears the captain of the brig would not comply with the provisions of the law. On being brought back to the city, the captain settled the matter by the payment of some SSO, dues and costs, com plied with the law and went on his way. This is the first instance, so far as can be ascertained, of the enforcement cf the law, though numbers of vessels have passed up nd down the bay without regarding its provisions. There Are many of the' oldest captains sailing out of the port, vho arc'ignorant of the law, but the arrest of the Allston will probably open their eyes to the inconvenience its violation may lead to. The case referred to, being one of interest to the commercial community, we have taken some tains to investigate the accuracy of the Sun's re aort, and find ttiat the facts are very far from jus tifying the conclusions of our contemporary. * The Athlon, it is true,was seized in the Bay and brought back by the Marshal to the city, under a libel for pilotage, and her Captain paid the claim and costs, to the amount of nearly fifty dollars.— But the payment was not made under any conces sion of the facts alleged, or the justice of the de mand. On the contrary, the settlement was sub mitted to because the master of the brig could not afford to interrupt his voyage, or return to be pres ent at the trial of the case, and therefore yielded, with the best grace lie could, to what he considered and protested against as a very gross abuse of ju dicial process. Such an adjustment, made under such pretext, cannot be regarded as in any sense a precedent, nnd the first lime that a similar pro ceeding is instituted against a vessel less disadvan tageous!}' situated, the matter will no doubt be submitted to judicial arbitrament. The pilots are, of course, entitled to tlieir fees as provided by law, but it seems somewhat a stretch of construction, to suppose that they have a right to demand tliem before the vessel lias reached that point of lier journey at which the ser vices of pilots generally end. They contend, that under the section quoted by the Sun, they are en titled to tlieir fees as soon as they offer their ser vices and are refused. The opposite construction is, that a vessel actually going to sea without a pilot can be compelled to pay the full pilotage onlv after so going to sea, which of course implies the necessity of a return to port, before the pilotage can be collected. It is, at best, hard enough, un der any circumstances, for ship-masters and owners to pay for pilotage which they do not require, but to compel them to pay it before the ship goes to sea at all or has got through the pilotage ground— docs certainly look like making a monopoly as much of an abuse as possible—particularly when it involves tlie arrest of the vessul in her voyage and bringing her back to port, in custody, like a pirate or a slave-trader. In another column will be found full details of the European advices by the steamer America. Still later intelligence will be found among our telegrams, the steamer Indian having arrived at Quebec on Saturday, with Liverpool dates to the 14tli inst.— The British frigate Agamemnon had returned to Queenstown and reported that the break occurred just under her stern, as indicated by the electrician on board the Niagara, after she had paid out one hundred and forty-six miles: after ascertaining the disconnection, she at once returned to the rendez vous in mid-ocean, and there cruised about for five days withont finding the Niagara, when she re turned to Queenstown. The directors have decided to make another trial immediately, and the fleet would sail again on the 17th. The Jlahommcdans had risen on the Christians in Jiddali, in Arabia, and massacred twenty, including the French and English Consuls. Three British men-of-war had been ordered to that port. Various other interest ing items of news will bo found in the summary by this arrival. We find by the London Times of the 9th instant, received by the America, that on the Bth a match race came off" at Newmarket between Mr. Ten Brook's mare Mimosa, and Mr. J. Daroson's horse Badsworth, for £2OO a side. The mare won the race, which was for one mile, by two lengths. Pre vious to the race the betting stood two to one against the mare. Later on the same day, in the Handicap Plate of £SO, Mimosa came in fourth, eight horses contesting the purse, which was won by Lord Ailesbury's horse Cantinc. Messrs. Stanford & Dclisser of New York will issue in September a novel from the pen of Mr. Os" rnond Tiffany, of Baltimore, entitled "Brandon, or A Hundred Years Ago." It will be a tale of the American colonies, the period being from 1755-GO, opening in the .Massachusetts colony, with scenes following in those of Virginia and Rhode Island, and including an episode in some detail of Wolfe's famous and successful attack on Quebec in 1759, in which expedition the hero figures. ABMY AND NAVY. The U. S. sloop-of-war Arctic arrived at Washin ton on Saturday morning from Key West, whence she bad a pleasant run. She left the Wabasli, Col orado. Constellation, Macedonian and Saratoga at Key West. In the fleet the health is generally good. The Arctic brings home Surgeon Lockwood, who was transferred from the Constellation, Passed Assistant Surgeon Hudson being transferred from the Arctic to the Constellation. The following is a list of the officers returned in the Arctic : Com mander, 11. J. Hartstene: Lieutenants, J. K. McMul laney, 11. M. Garland, E. P. McCrea; surgeon. J. A. Lockwood; Ist Assistant Engineer, A. C. Sti mcrs; 2d do., J. S. Albert; 3d do., F. E. Brown. — Lieutenant J. B. Hamilton, late of the Saratoga, came on as passenger. The U. S. flag ship St. Lawrence was off' Monte video on the 18th of May. The following changes and transfers have recently been made in the Bra zil squadron : Samuel Forrest, purser transferred to the storeship Supply, sick; Purser C. W. Abbott transferred to the St. Lawrence; Lieut. S. R. Franklin appointed acting purser of the Falmouth; Lieutenant J. S. Skerrett retransferred to the Fal mouth; Master E. E. Potter transferred to the brig Perry; Master A. J. McCartney transferred to the storeship Supply, under sentence of Court-martial; John Mason transferred to Falmouth. On the return of the Secretary of War an expe dition, under the command of Mr. E. F. lieale, will be organized for the purpose of constructing bridges and improving the crossing of streams on the road between Fort Smith, Arkansas, and Albuquerque, New Mexico; and also for completing the connect ed sections of the road extending from Albuquerque, westward, to the Colorado river of the West, on or near the 35th parallel of north latitude. A portion of the expedition will start from Albuquerque east ward, and another will go westward from the same point. The United States sloop-of-war Savannah went in commission at New York on Thursday, 22d in stant, at 12 o'clock. Her crew, consisting of two hundred and thirty men, were taken from the re ceiving ship North' Carolina. On the arrival of her crew on board preparations were immediately made to haul her out in tlie stream. Her marine "guard, numbering forty-tliree men, all told, presented quite a military appearance, in full uniform, as they were marched up to the parade ground in the navy-vnvdt from the United States ship North Carolina. Lieut. A. J. Hays commands the guard, and, previous to their departure on board ship, manoeuvred bis men well. They were accompanied bv the marine band of the receiving ship North Carolina. The Savan nah will sail for the West Indies the latter part of this week. TheL. S. steam revenue cutter Harriet Lane, Capt. r aunce, arrived at New York on Friday, hav ing made the run from Baltimore in forty hours. DE. RIVIEBE ONCE MOKE— Yesterday, Deputy Sheriff Francis returned the warrants against Huncke and Davis, with the parties in Court. Mr. Iteming informed the Court that Iluncke and Davis had procured bail in the sum of SI,OOO, to an swer the charge of perjury. Messrs. J. Finck and It. Coles became bondsmen for Huneke, and Mr. Finck for Davis. The bail bein°; taken, tlie Court was adjourned for the Term. Iluncke remains in Ber gen Jail, Mrs. Blount at the Hotel Napoleon, and Colonel and Miss Blount are preparing for their re turn to the South. Mr. Mulford has not yet made his appearance. Deputy Sheriff Francis announced to the Court that he had been unable to find Mr. Mulford. It is understood that he is in New York City, but all efforts to learn his whereabouts have proved unavailing. A bench-warrant has been is sued for bis arrest on the charge of perjury.— JV. Y. Tribune, Saturday. The Rev. Dr. H. B. Hackett, member of theCom tee on Versions of the American Bible Union, will leave New York on the Ist of August for Greece, for the purpose of studying the living Greek lan guage and applying the results of his observations to the new version of the Scriptures. He will be thus engaged for a year. THE DAILY EXCHANGE, JULY 26, 1858. FOREIGN. BY THE STEAMER AMERM A. CHEAT BRITAIN. On the 7t.li intaut the House of Lords was not ill j session, and the proceedings in the House of Com- j lnons were of merely local interest. On the Bth, in the House of Lords, the Jew bill j was passed through committee, an amendment hav- j ing been agreed to which prevents Jews from ex- 1 erasing ecclesiastical patronage or advising Her j Majesty upon ecclesiastical appointments. In the House of Commons, after some general do- ' bate, the government of India bill was read a third time and passed, amidst lotid cheers. Sir E. B. Lytton then moved the second reading of the government of New Caledonia bill, the ob ject of which is to establish a settled form of gov ernment in that part of British North America to which, in consequence of recent gold discoveries, a great stream of population is now directed. He urged the importance of a strong government being established in the first instance, and added that tlie present government had decided on continuing the policy of the late government, with respect to the privileges possessed by the Hudson's Bay Company. In the course of his observations, he "stated that there was every reason to expect a very large pro duction of gold in the eountrv about to be created into a colony. The bill would only remain in force live years, and then the powers of the governor would be resigned to free and local institutions. After some observations from various speakers, generally in praise of the government scheme, the bill was read a second time. On the 9th, in the House of Lords, the India bill was read a first time. The Earl of Malmesbury said the government in tended, for reasons which it was unnecessarv to refer to, to remove from Cuban waters the squadron now stationed there; but there was 110 intention whatever of discontinuing the blockade of the coast of Africa. In the House of Commons, Mr. D'lsraeli, in re sponse to an inquiry, said, government bad not taken into consideration the expediency of making use of the Leviathan to lav down the Atlantic cable. THE NEW GOLD MINES. The publication of some parliamentary papers shows that SirE. Bulwer Lytton, the Secretary of the Colonies, had been instructing Gov. Douglas, at Victoria, Vancouver's Island, as to his conduct in the present emergency. The dispatch is dated July 1, and says "that while her Majesty's government are determined on preserving the rights both of gov ernment and commerce, which belong to this coun try; and while they have it in contemplation to furnish you with such a force as they may be able to dispatch for your assistance and support in the preservation of law and order, it is no part of their policy to exclude Americans and other foreigners from the gold fields. "On the contrary, you are distinctly instructed to oppose no obstacle whatever to their resort thither for the purpose of digging in those fields, so long as they submit themselves, in common with the sub jects of her Majesty, to the recognition of her author ity, and conform to such rules of police as you may have thought proper to establish. Thenational right to navigate Frazer river, is, of course, a separate question, and one which her Majesty's government must reserve. Under the circumstances of so large an immigration of Americans into English territory, 1 need hardly impress upon you the importance of caution and delicacy in dealing with those mani fold cases of international relationship and feeling, which are certain to arise, and which, but for the exercise of temper and discretion, might easily lead to serious complications between two neighboring and powerful States. It is impossible, by this mail, to furnish you with instructions of a more definite character. Her .Majesty's government must leave much to your discretion on this most important sub ject; and they rely upon your exercising whatever influence and powers you may possess, in the man ner which, from local knowledge and experience, you conceive to be best culculated to give develop ment to the new country and to, advance imperial interests." THE TELEGRAPH CABLE. Neither the Agamemnon norlicr tender, tlie Val orous, had arrived at Queenstown, and nothing further had transpired in regard to the Atlantic Cable. The Niagara and Gorgon were taking in coals, and would be ready for sea again about the time the America sailed. The Agamemnon and Valorous could be coaled and got ready for sea within three days aftef their arrival. The Direc tors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company were to 1 meet and decide upon future action immediately , upon the arrival of the Agamemnon. It is stated, says tlie Daily Nvtrm, that tlie at ' tempt to lay tlie cable will certainly be renewed 1 this year, perhaps almost immediately. As soon as the Agamemnon makes her appearance the real po sition of affairs will be more clearly understood.— The Daily Eetrx' city article says that the shares > were more inquired for on Tuesday, and that they I wore quoted at £3OO to £4OO. The Cork Examiner says: "No intelligence lias ' been received of the Agamemnon, and considerable 1 anxiety lias been evinced for her re-appearance, as, - of course, until she joins the appointed rendezvous, 1 no certain or satisfactory steps can he taken. A j speedy junction and recommencement of the project ■* would be the more desirable, as, from a review ol 1 tlie log-hooks of the Cunard Transatlantic steamers, e returns have been made which would prove tin present month to be one peculiarly favorable for the accomplishment of the enterprise. These returns " show that the ocean is on an average subject to out e hurricane in seven days in the month of June, om in twenty-two days in July, and one in nine days ir I August. This would make the immediate attempt ing of the work most important to its final success, t The quantity of cable still remaining on board botl s ships is amply sufficient for the purpose—failure: like the recent ones having been foreseen and pro , vided against." The Paris correspondent of the Globe writes : " The breakage of the transatlantic cable is a topic much discussed here, it being of European interest, and it is urged with some plausibility that the shortest possible space between one headland and another should be preferred to the straight line, when the chasm in the middle passage off the Irish coast i 3 known to be so sudden and so deep. Hum boldt's suggestion of a short line from Shetland to Iceland, thence to Cape Farewell at the point of Greenland, thence across to the American coast, would seem to offer better chances of success. Some months ago Mr. Sergeant Glover was here on be half of a company, for which he sought and ob tained from the French Government, a personal "concession," as far as France is concerned, for a line from Paris southward to the coast of Spain, thence to Lisbon. the Azores, Bermuda, and Caro lina, to New York. The soundings towards the Equator offer less inequalities, and none of the points indicated as far asunder as Newfoundland and Valentia. It is obvious that America will never be satisfied with only one string to its bow, even were the Agamemnon to succeed." Wilmer <fc Smith's European Times says : The second attempt to lay the Atlantic cable has failed, and under circumstances alike hopeful and discouraging. There is a growing conviction that the present form of the cable is a mistake, unequal to the wear and tear demanded, and one line, if laid down successfully, would be almost as bad as none in the jealousy and strife it would create. Of course, the miscellaneous public and the Govern ments of Washington and St. James's are extreme ly anxious that the scheme should succeed, and re gret the failure, but the commercial public are by no means unanimous in its favour, for some branches of mercantile life, and more es pecially the speculative branches, would be cut up root, and branch bv its active operation. With regard to the proposition made in an influential quarter, that the only fair chance of success is to be tound in the experiment of laying the cable with one ship, and that ship the Leviathan, it has been favorably received, as, in fact, would any proposi tion forgetting that heavy undertaking fairly afloat. The failure this year seems to be opportune for furthering the fortunes of the Leviathan, although a third attempt will probably be made with the old machinery of the two ships and the two tenders, j and the splicing of the cable in mid-ocean. No ex- I peuse will be spared to ensure success, not, perhaps, j on the part of the present company, which has suf j feted severely, but because a conviction exists in high quarters that the attempt must succeed, if perserved in, and because success would be the greatest event which has been accomplished in this age in the way of wedding science to commerce. THE CUBAN SLAVE TRADE. A deputation on the subject of the Cuban Slave trade had had an interview with Lord Derby wlio, in answer to tlie deputation, said that: "He concurred generally in the objects of the de putation. With regard to' Brazil, he praised that Government for its honesty- and good faith in the fulfillment of treaties. With regard to Cuba, he agreed that more could be done by the Governor- General of Cuba than by any external force; that every exertion had been, and was every day being made, to bring the Spanish Government to good faitli in this matter, and that he trusted this result might be brought about without a resort to coercive measures. That with regard to the French system, as shown in the case of the Jleyina Cnli, there could be no doubt that it was really a new plan of Slave trade —that they were pour ing in evidence on this point on the French Go vernment, and that he hoped that the French Emperor (in whose desire to put down Slavery he had perfect confidence) would soon bo him self convinced that it was Slavery in disguise. "He feared that in this particular case there was evidence to show that the blacks might be held as consenting parties. With regard to Coolie emi gration, be explained that Lord Carnarvon's bill was intended to put a stop to the carrying of Cool ies from India to any foreign possessions; that it was their determination to place tlie Coolie emi gration to our own possessions on such a footing as should secure fair treatment to the Coolies; and he believed if that could be accomplished, the system of Coolie emigration might be found beneficial both to the Coolies themselves and to the colonies. He repeated, the great care and consideration which the Government were determined to give to secure for the Coolies good treatment and fair play'. He did not think that the exclusion of Cuban produce from our markets would (even if Parliament would consent to it) make much difference to Cuba, inas much as other countries would take Cuban produce and let us have the supplies from other quarters, which formerly went to them. He expressed gen erally every desire to prevent the slave trade, and he assured the deputation that the Government would never relax their efforts towards the accom plishment of this object." FRANCE. The Emperor Napoleon has made a present of a park, tastefully laid out, to the town of Plombieres, where his Majesty is at present residing. The Gazette tie France remarks that the presence of Queen Victoria on French territory, alter recent dissensions, will excite a deep sensation, and give an immense signification; it will be considered as a pledge of a new alliance. Count Persigny has arrived in London to sub mit to the Queen's approval the programme of the fetes which are about to take place at Cherbourg. The preparations at Cherbourg for the reception of Queen Victoria are said to be on a scale of un- paralleled magnificence. . . The Palace of the Elysee will be occupied during the ensuing winter by the Emperor. Extensive re pairs, to the estimated amount of 16,000,0001. or 17,000,000f., it is said, are to be made in the 1 alace of the Tuileries. _ ID, A decree for making a commercial port at .Brest, and opening an extraordinary credit for the COR struct ion of quays and jetties." lias been prepared by the council ot State. The Austrian government sent orders that a copy of the statue of Napoleon 1, by Cauova, which is at Milan, shall be offered by the French govern ment, and it is believed that it will be erected at Paris. • The Emperor has proposed that the debts of M. de Lamartine should be paid bv the State. It is understood that the French Government has commenced preparations for laying down telegraph cables between Havre, Fecamp, Dieppe, Boulogne, ('alias and Dunkirk, on the north-east, and between Havre, Hontleur, Valognes and Cherbourg oil the north-west; in short, it is intended to establish a telegraphic communication between every harbor on the French coast. The adoption of the Jew bill has induced two French journals to express their admiration at the working of the British constitution. The independence lielge says that Count Wa lewski has prepared a circular dispatch professing generally the most pacific intentions on the part of the French government. The same journal states that M. De Heckern, senator of France, has been sent to Vienna, charged confidentially to offer to Count Buol explanations of the policy ot the French government, with a view of removing the misun derstanding which has for some time subsisted be tween the governments of France and Austria. SPAIN. The Nord, of Brussels, in speaking of the change of ministry in Spain, states that it has reason to believe that certain menaces of England, relative to Cuba, on account of the slave trade, were not un connected with the accession of Marshal 0 Donnell, this latter being strongly in favor of the French policy, and the French government having declared that it would not desert Spain in the question of the colonies. It was said at Madrid to be the intention to institute a ministerial department for the Spanish possessions bevond sea, such as had been thought of when the (filibusters, under Lopez, attempted to take Cuba. Marshal O'Donnell lias resigned the office of For eign Minister, which he occupied but temporarily, and Collentes, a liberal has been appointed to that olfice. Their majesties will leave for Austria on the 2fith They will be accompanied by Generals O'Donnell and Quesada. TURKEY. The correspondent of the Timcs at Constantino ple, writing on the 30th ult., says that almost all the questions which agitated the Porte are in a fair way of being settled;' it is, however, stated that it is the attitude of Persia which has led to calling out the reserve. SICILY. The Criminal Court of Catania, in Sicily, on the 1-itli of .June, passed sentence upon thirty persons of that province who were accused of wishing to change the Neapolitan government. Six of them are condemned to the galleys for lengthened periods: in one case, that of a man named Pelle grino, the sentence is twenty-eight years' penal servitude. SPAIN AND MEXICO. An expedition to consistof 10,000 men is preparing in Spain, which will proceed to Mexico to demand satisfaction for grievances against the Spanish gov ernmint, which are still unredressed. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, July S.—Owing to differences in the Cabinet as to reorganizing the competency of the German diet on the question of the Duchies, the Fi nance Minister, Aldrae, tendered his resignation to day. after a stormy debate in the Privy Council.— The President, Half, will probably take"the Foreign office, and Bishop Monrad will enter the Cabinet. The official organ of the Austrian government publishes an imperial decree which modifies the penil procedure recently adopted. This decree, which is applicable to all the provinces of the mon archy, with the exception of the Lombardo-Vene tian kingdom, withdraws from the cognizance of the tribunals numerous misdemeanors, the authors of which will be sent before the administrative au thorities, and judged summarjly. This confusion between the administrative and the judicial author ity :s with reason considered at Vienna as a retro grale step in the path of civilization. The Austrian journals announce that numerous additional arrests have been made of persons ac cused of participation in the recently discovered conspiracy in Galicia. Count Coronini, the Governor of Dalmatia, has published a decree, dated the 27th ult., in which he gives a second warning to M. Medaknvits, editor of the Srlmki Uncvuih, published at Temes var, for remarks relative to events in Montene gro, which, the notice declares, are of a nature to mislead public opinion, and which misrepresent the conduct of a power in relations of amity with Austria. The correspondent of the Times says the time for consideration granted to Denmark being at an end, the Diet will to-morrow appoint a commission whose duty it will be to make the necessary ar rangements for sending troops into liolstein and Schauenberg. At the same time notice will he given to the envoy of the King of Denmark that those Duchies will be occupied by the Federal troops, if the concessions made by the Diet in their favor are not made within a certain time. The de la}* will probably be a short one—the German Powers having resolved to prove to Europe that they can act as well as talk. RUSSIA AND POLAND. A letter from Warsaw of the Ist says:—"The fol lowing is a new trait in the character of the Em peror Alexander, which proves how elevated are his views. An agricultural society has just been formed in this city, and it now reckons 1200 mem bers, composed of' the principal landowners of the country. It held its first meeting here a few days since, and a considerable sensation was caused by it, as such an assemblage has never taken place since the lost National Diet. The authorities became alarmed, and consulted the Emperor by telegraph. The following answer was, 1 am informed,returned: 'You say that 1200 of the Polish nobility have as sembled" at Warsaw, and that you feel uneasiness at the circumstance. For my part, I regret that the number is not greater.'" LIBERIAN .MAI:INK. —The brig "George C.

It is an AUTOMATIC SURVEYOR, which, by simple mechanism, is made to record accurately—on a strip, or endless roll of paper—a CORRECT PROFILE of any route passed over; the ANGLES of REFLECTION riglitand left; and the DISTANCE travelled, upon any required scale, or set of scales. This machine may represent in appearance or purpose, an ordinary Buggy Wagon, with the addition of the very valuable attachment claimed above. There is a box con taining the simple contrivance for recording upon the strip of paper as above mentioned. Motion is conveyed to the paper by the revolution of the hind wheel, which acts by band and gcer upon rollers over which the paper is carried. < 'ne half the strip of paper is devoted to hori zontal projection, the other half to vertical projection, and the centre or division is a line of pricked distances. The DEFLECTIONS are worked by the turning of the fore axle of the Buggy in assuming the horizontal changes in the route; the PROFILE, by a weight, adapting itself to the lowest position attainable through anychanges in the lev el of the route passed over; and the DISTANCES, by points at calculated intervals, on the periphery of one of the rollers conveying the paper.
