Our Heart's Content correspondence gives an interest- ing account of the people of the country selected as the wostern terminus of the Atlantic cable, and also some details of the preparations to receive the Groat Eastern on her arrival. Our extracts from the English papers re- garding the status of the affairs of the cable on the other side of the water include an account of the trip of the Great Eastern from Sheerness to Valentia Bay. The trip demonstrated the unpleasant fact that the steamer had not moro than half enough steam power for tho work she has to do, She failed to make more than five miles an hour, and it was believed that in a storm, or even against & strong head wind, she would be unmanageable. The heavy weather had delayed the Caroline with the shore end at Falmouth, and the Great Eastern had to tow the ‘vessel to Valentin, Tho vossels arrived safely at that point on the 19th ult. Our latest dates from Valentia direot are to the 20th of July. a ‘The Inman steamehip City of London, Captain Petrie, ‘will gail to-day at noon for Queenstown and Liverpool, from pior 44, North river.

The entire letter tu entertaining and decidedly interesting. Our Montreal correspondent states that J. C. Breckinridge (ex-Preal- dent), Seoretery of War of the rebel confederacy, was to sail from England on the Ist inst., and was expected in Ganada om the 12th, Among tho latest additions to the rebel nest at Montreal were Commander Wilkinson of the pirate Tallahassee, and Taylor Wood, a former com- mander of the same craft, who aided Breckinridge in effecting his escape after the collapse of rebeldom. Mr, Smith J. Eastman, the dofaulting merchant of Brooklyn, who so mysteriously disappeared from that city in June last, unlawfully possessed of large sums of embezzled money, {has boon discovered in a lunatic asylum at Lyons, France. Mr. Eastman made his ap- pearance at the office of the United States Vice-Consul at Lyons and deposited with him the sum of sixteen thou- sand five hundred dollars, representing himeelf as an unfortunate but honést bankrupt. Ina few days the Vice-Consul was compelled to place Mr, Eastman in the hands of the keeper of a lunatic asylum and then report- ed his case to My. Bigelow, Minister resident of the United States at Paris, The latter ordered Eastman’s detention, and at the date of our Paris correspondence was under surveillance. Mr. Parsons, an attorney for some New York merchants interested in the case, had been placed in possession of the money deposited by Eastman with the Vice-Consul. Nothing more than the sixteen thousand five hundred dollars had been recovered. ‘The United States Consul General at Alexandria, Egypt, reports that there were one thousand seven hun- dred and eighty-five deaths from Asiatic cholera in twenty days of June and July, and that over thirty thousand citizens of Alexandria had fled from the city at the ap- proach of the terrible malady. From the interior the most distreasing reports prevailed. Surrogate Tucker yesterday decided, in the matter of the estate of Web, that Mrs. Webb, who had been divorced from her husband, on her own complaint against him, for adultery, though she did not lose by the divorce her right of dower in his real estate, did lose her distri- butive share in his personal property, and has no inter- est init upon his dying intestate; because she is not his widow, but had been restored to the condition of a single woman by the decree of divorce. ‘The beer retailers had another meeting yesterday and adopted a plan for the ostablishment of a brewery to be oporated on a capital of twenty thousand dollars. George Hall, alias Roberts, was arrested yesterday while attempting to draw seventeen hundred dollars on a forged check on the Metropolitan Bank. John Ryan was yesterday committed for robbing Honry Powers of twelve hundred and twenty-seven dollars, Gezicna Peterson was presented by her husband, charged with bigamy. ‘The Navy Yard fraud investigation was resumed yes- terday. The defence was opened and the testimony of Jacob Duryea taken. The commissioner then adjourned tho investigation until next Thursday. ‘The investigation into the cause of the Furman street disaster was continued yesterday. The testimony of the carpenters engaged on the work was taken, but nothing new or important elicited. The case was postponed until next Tuesday. The United States frigate Congress, sunk by the rebel ram Merrimac in the memorable naval battle in Hampton Roads in 1862, was yesterday raised and an attempt was to have been made to tow her to Portsmouth Navy Yard. Additional roturns from the clection in Tennessee are 80 incomplete as to leave no indication as to the result, save in East Tennessee, where the Unionists are in a large majority. Additional particulars of the horrible tragedy at Man- choeter, Conn.,.are given elsewhere, The son and bro- ther of the victims has confessed himself their murderer. The revelations are of the most horrible character. Tho confession was made to the father of the lady to whom the murderer was engaged to be married. He gaveas an excuse for the crime that he wished to get possession of his mother’s money, in order to obtain the consent of tho father of tho young lady to their marriage. Strong evi- dence is mentioned as indicating the insanity of the mur- derer. Major Genoral James 8. Negley and other distinguished Pennsylvania officers at Pittsburg have determined to erect in that city a splondid monument to the memory of the soldiers from Alleghany county who fell in the late war. A fight between the white and black employes at Aquia creek, Va., took place on the Ist inst. The mili- tary interfered, and, in suppressing the riot, one negro was killed and many others wounded. ‘A paroled rebel, named Miller, was yesterday hung by a mob at Torre Haute, Ind., for the attompted murder of a Mr. Gregory, of Louisville, Ky. ‘The propoller George 0. Vale was partially destroyed yestorday by fire. The loss is estimated at $2,000. ‘The stock market was firm, with an upward tendency, yesterday. Governments were stronger.

Tho result of the recent elections in England has been a gain of twenty-four members of Parliament for the liberal party. This gain, with no great question before the country, is very decided. The liberal party, which is a combination of the ministerial and the reform parties, is that which contains all the friends of this republic. It is true that the ministerialists did not display any very warm sympathy for us during the late war; but the true liberals, such as Bright and Cobden, undoubtedly did all in their power to: assist us. The ministeri- alists were, however, in favor of non-interven- tion, and even this neutrality appears friendly when contrasted with the open enmity of the opposition or conservative party, led by D’Is- raeli, who was continually endeavoring to force the government to recognize the South, and by Roebuck, who frequently announced that the only safety for England was the dis- memberment and destruction of the United States. Compared with such conservatives, Lord Palmerston’s government was liberal indeed. The triumph of the liberals is, therefore, the triumph of this republic reacting upon English politics. By common consent, the American question, in its direct shape, was almost entirely dropped during the canvass, since neither the government nor the opposition felt that they had any claim for credit in connection with our affairs, But the main issue of the election was the reform question, and that is merely the American question in another shape. In Eng- land reform means the extension of the suffrage, and universal suffrage is a peculiarly Ameri- can institution. Thus, under the compromise name of reform, the o!d battle between mon- archism, which restricts or abolishes the suf- frage, and republicanism, which extends the ballot to all citizens, was fought over again; and republicanism won. It won, because we had been successful in putting down the aris- tocratioc rebellion here. It won, because Grant had defeated.Lee. It won, because Jeff. Davis was @ prisoner and not a President. It sentsuch friends of ours as John Bright, Stuart Mills and Tom Hughes to Parliament. It defeated Walters, of the London Times, When Oxford, which has been inimical to us, threw overboard Mr. Glad- | stone, the ablest man in England, our friends in the manufacturing districts took him up, at & moment's notice, and elected him. Through- out all the cities, towns and countios—except + in the close boroughs, where the poopie had no chance—the influence of this republic ‘was felt in the elections, and the American question, decently disguised so as not to alarm John Bull, was the prominent topic at the bustings. We are not only not surprised at this result, but we contend that, in the. nature of things, it was impossible to be otherwise. Here the peo- ple rule, and consequently the people of all other countries look to us as an example. If we succeed they also hope to succeed, and so they struggle on. Had we failed, they would have given up the contest in despair, and des- potism would have had a new lease of life. It is impossible to convince the people of Europe that they ought not to have as much liberty as we have. Talk to them of the necessity of des- potism and the danger of giving the masses too much power, and they point to this great country, where the people have all the power. During the war the display of our tremen- dous strength nerved the opposition in the French Chambers to maintain their bold stand on the Mexican question. Our victories en- couraged the Prussian delegates to oppose the King to the last extremity. We turned out of office the O’Donnell Cabinet in Spain. We sus- tain the Fenian Brotherhood in Ireland. In every country the contest takes a different shape to adapt itself to the circumstances sur- rounding it; but the principles involved are the same everywhere. In eome countries the people have a little power, and they struggle at the polls or through their delegates. In other countries they have no power, and they meditate revolutions. But in all cases they look to this republic as the mariner consults his guiding star. The leaven of our democracy is leavening all Europe. As our success in the Revolution of 1776 caused uprisings against despotism all over the world, so our greater victory in the more terrible and vaster revolu- tion which has just terminated will result in similar popular movements. Europe may as well be prepared for these outbreaks, They will come as surely as the day follows the night. They are logically inevitable, The New Census of the States, East and West. The returns of the census now being taken in the several States, under the auspices of the State authorities, reveal many curious and interesting facts. The decrease in population in many localities, and the enormous increase in others, developing as it does the ebb and flow of the tide of population, presents a fea- ture worthy of a careful study. The great westward tendency of our population revealed by the national census of 1860 still continues, and at a more rapid rate. The present census not only proves that this feature, so noticeable in the last census, was not a temporary affair, but that the change is going on even at a greater ratio. Thus in 1860 the returns from the Atlanticespecially the. New KEng- land States—revealed decrease in the population in many towns. The same re- sult is shown by the census now in pro- gress, not only in regard to New England, but also in some of the agricultural districts in this State. Such manufacturing towns as Lowell, where it would be supposed that the popula- tion would have increased, it has declined. The same is true of other manufacturing towns of New England and agricultural districts in all the Atlantic States. But when we turn to the census returns of the Western States, we find, instead of a decrease, an enormous in- crease, and at a ratio tenfold greater than the decrease East. This change must, from the very nature of our country, its climate and char- acteristica, increase from year to year, working the most decided results in the political affairs of the country. The decrease of the popula- tion in many parts of New England foretells similar decline of power and influence in government affairs, while on the other hand the great increase in the West not only points to the fact that the day is not far distant when the Mississippi val- ley will be the centre of the republic, and that what is now known as the West will control and guide the political destinies of the country. Under the present tendency westward but com- paratively few years will elapse before the whole section, from the lakes to the Pacific, will be peopled, and working wonderful and extra- ordinay changes in the body politic. With all the decrease in the New England States and the agricultural districts of the East, the returns of this metropolis reveal a re- verse result here. Instead of a decline in the population in this city, the returns show an in- crease, and that, too, ata ratio larger than at the West. The city proper, or Manhattan Island, under the census of 1860, had a population of about eight hundred and fourteen thousand; the enumeration taken by the Sanitary Bureau of this city in 1864 developed an increase of over one-quarter of a million in four years, and that, too, in merely the city proper. The cen- sus under the auspices of the State authorities has not been concluded yet, but from the re- ports thus far made these figures will be fully sustained. When we add to this the increate of Brooklyn and all other portions of the metro- politan district, which in reality are part of the city, this increase will, if anything, be still larger. All this is but additional proof that the city of New York is the real bub of this “country, and that its growth and prosperity keeps pace with the whole country, and sympa- thizes with it in all particulars. New England may decline and decay, the South may be de- vastated by a war, and her trade proftrated for years, the agricultural and manufacturing interests of all the Atlantic States may fall off, yet still this city goes onward, rapidly increas- ing in population, wealth and commerce. It is the great heart of the republic, at which centres all the veins laden with treasures. As long as the North American continent prospers just so long will this metropolis increase in population and wealth. If this continue in the same proportion, in ten years more the city of New York will be larger than London, and the largest city in the world, except it may be some of those cities so effectually hiddes away in China that no person from the outaidp world can ever see them. In 1861 the population of London, taking in all the surrounding ¢ountry, was, in round numbers, a little under ur mil- lions. When we take in the entire Metr¢politan district, Jersey City and Hoboken, whith are as much part of the city ot New York asmany of the suburban towns enumerated in thapopula- tion of London, we have a population of over two millions, and increasing at a moje rapid rate than London. Events and the flevelop- ments of time are thus not only provig us the greatest and most nation on) the face of the earth, but that the city of New /York is 7 of into such @ connection may * be very dey to become ‘the f.°¥t. city in the civilized | honest; but it is also open to doubt w, ben We world. The Great Eastern hae now been out eleven days, laying the Atlantic cable, and the news of her arrival on this side the ecean may be expected at any hour. Her movement is, of course, necessarily slow, and must be regulated by the operations of the cable layers; but she has already been out nearly double the time it would have taken her to pass over the same 'dis- tance at her ordinary speed. The time in which the first Atlantic cable was laid may be stated at twelve days, The vessels started from mid ocean—one going either way—and the shore: was reached by one in six days. There.are ten thousand theories and argu- ments for and against the success of this great undertaking. The theorists are not of the strikingly original kind, inasmuch as their views generally keep in eight the of the former attempt. They believe that’ the that they will once more hear from De Sauty ; and then they believe that this cable also will fade and die out in some unaccountable way. The doctors of electricity disagree on one im- portant point. It is admitted that the power of the wires as they lay coiled in their tanks in the ship was not a fair test of what the power will be when they be properly stretched out in the ocean; but while some main- tain that the power in the ocean will be greater, and that more words will be transmitted per minute, others hold with equal tenacity that the power under the ocean will not be so great asit was in the ship. These latter hold that the distance is an im- practicable one for telegraphing, and that the power will be so attenuated as to render ope- ration impossible, or at least to retard the de- livery to such an extent that the telegraph will be a failure financially. We hope that matters have already gone so far, that the world may soon have the satisfaction of knowing which class of theorists is right. Tf this attempt shall go on all right, and the present cable prove a success, other Atlantic lines will be begun at once. Arrangements are already on foot for the purpose, Then we shall havea more northernly line,by way of Labrador, Greenland, Iceland and Norway, connecting with the immense system of European lines; and @ more southernly one by way of the West Indies, the Cape Verde and Madeira Islands, also eventually connecting with the European lines and the Mediterranean, Red Sea and Per- sian Gulf lines. In a year, also, we may expect that the Russian line by Behring Strait will be completed. With this wonderful system of wires international communication will be per- fect, and the Heratp will present its readers every day with the news of the day before from all parts of the world, giving as full a daily ac- count of events in the nations of Europe, Asia and Africa as it now gives of those in the United States. 7 ‘Tae Inrricacms or Arrams mv Canapa—We publish to-day a highly interesting account of the state of feeling in Canada relative to the proposed confederation of the British American provinces, the Reciprocity treaty and the pro- spective annexation of Canada to the United States, from our own correspondent, who has been making a tour in that region. It shows that the views of the people of Canada are very diverse as to ite future destiny. Strong feelings exist in some quarters in favor of a constita- tional monarchy,\which are fostered by the aris- tooratic or tory element; but the undercurrent of opinion will probably, after all, be found to ran in the direction of # republican form of government in some shape, tending, of course, towards ultimate annexation to this country. From the efforts made at the late Detroit Com- mercial Convention, so called, to have the Re- ciprocity treaty of 1854 continued in force, and which the last Congress directed to be abro- gated, together with the general tone of feeling on this subject, it seems not unlikely that the principles of the Monroe doctrine will have to be tested on the Canadian border. England has been extremely cautious in its dealings with its American provinces, both as regards the proposed confederation and the defences of the frontier. The mother country is evidently not disposed to risk a war with the United States for the sake of Canada. Louis Napoleon has been endeavoring to show that the affairs of Canada, Mexico and Cuba make an identical issue with this country; but Lord Pal- merston eyidently does not see it in that light. In his recent friendly and familiar interview with M. Eloin, the confidential agent of Maxi- milian, he stated that the Mexican and Cana- dian questions were totally distinct; that Eng- land would continue to stand aloof from Mexi- can entanglements, and that in his opinion any concerted action between England, France and Mexico would be an unfriendly and improper course towards the United States. Maximilian and Louis Napoleon, in the person of M. Eloin, have thus received a quiectus on the Mexican question from the British government. For the generous consideration and friendly feeling towards the United States expressed by Lord Palmerston, now that we have exhibited our ability to whip both England and France com- bined, we are, of course, duly grateful. Can- ada, meantime, is in a ferment about ita future condition, although we should hardly think that the choice between a somewhat slighted British dependency and an integral portion of a great and powerful republic would be very difficult to decide upon. Tax Srroatton ty Sours aNnD CENTRAL Amenica.—The condition of the States ot South America is anomalous and almost incompre- hensible. While their interests would certainly direct them towards unity, as a matter of self- protection, their predilections appear to tend towards perpetual disunion. Recently the republics of Salvador, Bolivia, Columbia, Chile, Eoundor, Peru and Venezuela have entered into an alliance defensive against the European Powers—against each other in caso of hostili- tlos between the States. We publish the treaty to-day, from which it will be seen that these States have onunciated a Monroe doctrine for South and Central America. It is not long ago since another treaty both offensive and defen- sive was made between the empire of Brazil and the republics of the Oriental confederation and the Argentine confederation against Para- guay. The object of an allienoe with an imp against a sister republic may woll be ques consider that the result of hef success 7 the war with Paraguay would be to give her °D- trol ofthe Amazon and the Le Plate riven ‘— the inlets and outlets of the centre of the Sou © American continent. Brazil, although in name an empire, has a liberal government, and will, no pubt, before long become s republic, pro-~ vided that the other States have the wisdom to assume & position caloulated to make them- selves rewpected and permanent. If they com prebend ¢he philosophy of our late war, they cannot underrate the value of ynity and com bination, nos'mistake the true’ meaning of the Monroe doctrine, nor its practical operations | 86 @ part of thetr own future history. It is very clear that unless they adopt some course to’ prevent the recurrence of those miserable quar- rels among themselves, which have been the prevailing characteristics of the South and Cen- tral American republics, ever since they ob- tained their independence, they cannot long maintain an independent existence.
