This change of eentiment is not to be won- | dered at It is cupable of cu easy and intelligitle solution, It arises from the fact that while the course of the general gov- ernment has teen all thai the most fair mind- ed and enlightened patriot could desire, that of | ‘he State govenment, on the contrary. has been cal- cwated to siicnate and disgust ell high minded citizeus.

One | fact has been eatabtished by this trial—attended | though it was with failare—and that ia, that no obstacle existe to the successful laying of a | transatlantic cable equal to the reelization of | every hope entertained in rogard to it, except a | ing out the line, which Little time and a little | prudeace, aided by the experience gathered from | the Jate unsuccessful trial, cannet easily remove. | From the tove of the English press it is evi- dent thet no fears are entertained in England of the nitimate success of the project. li will be seen by the statement of our cor- respondent that the accident is attributable io the imperfection of the machine used in pay.ng out the cable, especially to the brakes, wluch all partics eagaged in the work pronounce not only worthless but mischievous At the | moment when the cable parted a pressure of three thon-and pounds was emddealy put upoa it by 9 person temporarily substituted for the e- | | ginger, who was compeliad to retire irom extaus j | tion; end thie, too, while the stern of the vessel | was down in the trough of the sea in one of | | thove heavy ewells the magnitude of which any | one who has crossed the Atlantic mast be ac- quainted with, In addition to the euormous | strain already on the cable, several miles of which must bave been at that moment in suspen. | sion, with & pressure upon it which it waa never | brakes was necesearily ruinons Jt was shown | by the indicator, which worked with remarkable | dinary strain ou the cable in ite deecent; and | | which was, in all previous trials, increased at | | farthest, by the applicatioa of the brakes, to fif- || | teen bundred or two thousand pounds It need | | not elicit any surprise, then, that the inswutious | | application of a strain of three thousand pounts | | should cause the cuble to snap. | It fs satisfactory to know that the experiment | hae proved, beyond controversy, the fact that it | is quite possible to lay the cable between the two continents, and that, with a few improvements | in the machinery used to pay out the line, ‘the mode adopted is precisely the one to | carry It out successfully. During the whole period of the Niagara’s voyage, in which three handred and thirty-five nautical miles of cable were laid down, the electric current was 1 tri ted to the Irish coast, thus establishing the perfection of the insulation, and proving be- youd question that neither the depth of the Water nor the leogta of the cable was an ob- | | stacle to the transmission of messages, If no- ‘| thing else was gained by the first trial, this fact is all important to the future chances of success. | The chiet engineer of the Niagara was of opia- jun that the speed. of the steamship should Rave | been decreased when the etrain on the cable be- | came apparcat; but we think be was mistaken; for itis evident that, according to their own showing, there war an immense length of cable then in eepension, upon which the pressure mast | have been almost incalculable, and in that case | the advance of the veseel, added to 2 judicious | use of the braker to prevent the cable runsing out too faet, would lave helped to deposit the floating portion of the cable on the bottom, and | thus relieved it from the etrain which unhappily it appears it was noable to eurtain, Every fact developed by the rst attempt at | laying the cable only gors to prove the practica- | bility of bringing the enterprise to a successful conel ; und whether the undertaking be re- | newed this year or next, we may calculate on | extabliching a telegraphic connection between | the Ord and the New World, and that before | long.

Hut the projected expedstion some three years age of Col.

So far, eaid Mr. White, se good. The next step-was to pul an end to the war between the native Nicaraguan parties aforesaid, and to get the control of the government. To this ead Gen.

The seizures and conte | cation of the Tranrit Company's moveabies, anc: the transfer of the monopoly of the route to the | new company of Walker's particular friends opened the cxes of Vanderbils to tho important | fact thet he Lad been taken in and done for, aud «dope brown.” Revenge and the ro-oecupation of the losi mouopoly became instantly the poiiey | of “the hours of Vanderbilt.” They first tried | Secretary Marcy ; but Marcy referred tacir ow bussudor to that Noita Star letier of Me. Jo. White, which closed up the argument in taut | quarter, The Vanderbills then seized upon the | local elements of rebellion in Nicaragua, excited: | by the follies of Walker, and joined and supptied | the sinews of war te. the holy allinnce agaiast Walker. The resuls was Walker's expulsion, very mnch to the chagrin of Mergan & Co., the holders at that time ef the Transit monopoly, and very much to the Gisguet of George Law, who had been “ bleeding” very frealy in the hope of | secaring both Walker and the Transit im the palm | of bis band. | Walker iz expelled —peace follows—Gen.

In fact, if our orres- pondent bas correctly stated the facta— snd we | doubt not be bae—Costa Rica must fight, or the | two dictators of Nicaragea—Jerez and Mar- | tinez— must back down. We can see no end, | however, to this complicated equabble for the spoils of this Transit monopoly, except through » ! direct intervention of the United States and | England, or through a joint etock holy alliaane of all our steamboat Commodores-— the house | of Vanderbilt,’ Law, the Morgans, and oll | concerned. We bave recommended this joint stock alliance heretofore ; but notwithstanding all the thick- | headed blundere aud foilles through these rninons | rival plots and counterplots between oar grendy tteamboat captains, who want “the whole or | none,” we believe that it isnot yet too iste for | them to do better. We say, therefore, again, that | the trne policy in the premiacs for “ tho house of | Venderbiit,” George Law, the Morgane, Garrison, and all others interested in this quarter, is to form | ® joint stock holy alliance for the occapation | ond the colonization, first of the Nicaragua route, econdly, of the States adjoining, and thirdly and lastly, of the whole of Ccntral America, the slands thereunto appertaining, and the peninsula of Yucaten. | Aud bere we say, in sober earnestness, is the key to the erection and establichment of a New York Indian Empire in Central America, which | . lobby, a# disclosed in the evidence before the last | House of Reprerentatives, Let every papor pub- lish that evidence again.

The vicinity of the town is now stadded with charming country residences, some erected at great cost, others neat little boxes, built at | ema}! expense; come few owned by persons who let them tor the summer, bat tne majority owned and tepanted during the hot months by weaitby temilies from New York, Boston, Phila- deiphia, the Southern States, and even Mexico and the West Indies. Tho inhabitants of theo pretty retreata form a suciety of their own, and 1arely mingle with the nondesccipt crowd which Jcuking jliugtrates at the hotels; they have Uy courage to carry out their aversion for the so- ciety ot gamblers, chevaliers d'industrie, Califor- nian widows, and diesipated youths, who form so large # proportion of the hotel world, Among themselves they are soviable enough, and we presume that no respectable person, with the usual social qualifications, would find the gates of their circle inexorably closed to his approach: during the summer mouths, many of them exer- cise, ina large and liberal manner, tao genial duty of horpitality not only to their immediate neighbors, but to pleasant people all over tne country, and to the best among our forelga viaiters, In this direction, it is reasonable to expect that Newport will facrease and thrive as a watering | place; but we rather think that the past is only the beginning of a series of unfortunate seasons for the hotels, Tur Reverstox ty rie Svaan Market, Everybedy bat a few speculators will rejoice over the evideot deckne, and still downward tendency of the prices of sagar, We have compiled, und publish in another column, the latest quotations of the principal engar markets of the world, both producing and consuming, all of which exbivit a material falling off in rates, and a continued downward movement.

So let the war proceed. It is very dis~ treefing to know that he is “going to keep clear of the New York Academy,” and we can imagine the floods of teary which the young ladies in the Fifeh avenue and elsewhere will shed at the an nouncement, But we hope they will bear up under the blow with us much fortitude as possi. ble.
