Up to this period—the fourteenth day after the landing of the cable—neither chairman, vice-chairman, director nor secretary had visited Valeutia.

My duties as electrician-projector of the Atlantic tele- graph (my medical adviser having, as J haye just stated, positively prohibited my joining the expedition) had been fulfilled, when I had demonstrated to the world by the use of my own instruments, after years of anxious toil, in spite of most grave doubts entertained by some of the highest scientific authorities of our day, the fact of the transmission of intelligence through the submerged cable between Europe and America, with absolute accuracy, and at a speed sufficient, under good management, to in- sure a brilliant commercial success to those who had hazarded their capital in the enterprise, With this consciousners I now looked for a well earned and honorable repose from the more pressing official de- tails of my position, as, indeed, the terms of my agree- ment with the company had allowed. Instead of this, 1 received from the hands of one of the directors an ex- tract from the minutes of a recent Board, drawing my attention to the fact ‘that my engagement a electrician of the company terminated when the cable was laid,” and intimating to me that “my authority ag an officer of the company had now ceased,” this being conveyed in such terms and in such a manner as to amount in fact to a summary dismissal. A fortnight has elapsed since I claimed as a matter of justice, a full and complete investigation, toward which I ‘am not aware that any steps have yet been taken.

Sir Charles Bright has received the honor to which his scientific ekill, hie undying energy and his unwavering Vigilance in the laying of the Atlantic cable vo well en titled him. Wherever and at whatever time the great achievement of the telegraph shall be spoken of, bis name will be mentioned a that of the man who firet advocated and finally accomplished th« exploit. It is well that Eng land bas an order wherewith to grace the benefactors of mankind, and hold them up ax examples to their fellow men, and well that the distribution of there honors is vext ed in discrimi hands. Although the intrusion of a kacerdotal prince, owing temporal as well as spiritual obe- dience to a foreign Power, deprived the investiture of ite intended publicity, the Lord it, a8 the represen tative of y, has conferred the title so well deserved.

If they found sincerely desirous of putting an end to the war, the Commissioners were to grant them their demands, provided such demands did not tnfringe the customs of the Celestial empire, the dignity of the Em- peror, or the will of the peopie; and in the event of the demands being of such character, they were to refer them to the Emperor for his pleasure 10 be made known. When this document had been read to an end, Lord Elgin rose and ordered his chair to be brought, saying to Kwei-liang, im a curt manner, that the powers of imperial Com. missioners were unsatisfactory. The Eari’s chair was burried up, the guard presented arms, the band played “God save the Queen,” the staff entered their chairs, and the mandarin were left making speeches to demonstrate that it was quite imposeible that they could ever receive Jarger powers than those they had just opened.

Under there circumstances it appearé to one uninitiated in diplomatic conventialities, that it would have been but courteous to wait until Lord Kigin and the Baron Gros had completed their treaties instead of putting forward emailer claims, and thereby embarrassing though not ultimately affecting the wider demands of the English and French.

Wo learn from a correspondent on board the United States ship Falmouth, under date of August 9, that the city of Rio is perfectly healthy since the disappearance of the yellow fever, which raged here, but mostly among the shipping, in April and May, Freights here are low, and several American vessele have left, in ballast, for St. Thomas and other Weet Indian ports, On the 20th of July Commodore French Forrest hoisted a blue flag at the mizzenmast head of the Fal. mouth, which war immediately saluted I’ the Falmouth with thirteen guns, and on the 80th the English, French and Brazilian mev-of-war also saluted, It looked strange to sce the flag of an admiral on board of aa American man of-war. Some of the copper that wae puton the Falmouth in Portsmouth, N, H., had cowe off, and if the ship lay thera for three months the worms would cut her through.

Court of General Sessions, Before Judge Russell At the opening of the Court yesterday morning, Frede rick Ramsay, charged with committing a highway robbery on John W.
