The steamship Cuba, which arrived yesterday, brought the unwelcome intelligence that the insulation of the great Atlantic Telegraph cable was lost at some unknown point on the 20th ult, when seven hundred miles of it had been laid by the Great Eastern, on her eighth day out from Valentia, and that cofsequently com- munication between the monster vesicl and the shore had suddenly ceased. The cause of the atcident had not feon learned when the Cuba left Quecdiown, on the evening of tho 30th ult. ; but the occurrence nee! not be regarded as deciding that the cablo isa failure, By the qoxt arrival from Europe, which will be,most anxiously @waited, we shall no doubt bavea full and definite ex- planation of the matter.

The United States sued for possession of a quantity of cotton which Prioleau, a notorious rebsl agent and blockade runner, claimed to have a privr lion upon, inasmich a he had lost twenty thousand pounds by the webol goverament. Vic» Chancellor Wood ruled that the United States must tako the cotton, but, in doing so, ‘wers bound to respect the agreement entered into with Fegard to this aforesaid cotton by the rebel govern. ment, to whom it originally belonged. Prioleau was ap- pointed receiv r of the prope. y on his going <ecurity to the extent of twenty thousand pounds, and subsequently the cotton was handed over to hin by the Liverpool Dock Board. ‘The rush of emigrants to this country from the North of Europe is settin: in with more than usual vehomence.

Like General Bheridan, the situation in Mexico he looked upon as Oreated by the rebellion, which would not be really Overcome until Maximilian had loft the country. General Grant arrived in Toronto from Montreal yesterday morn- dog, and immediately after left for Niagara Falls. He ‘was received with enthusiasm by tho Toronto people, It ts stated in our Washington despatches that there ‘were one million and fifty thoussmd men in our national ermics on tho Istof May last, since whch time some- thing over seven hundred thousand have been dis- charged, leaving still in the military service of the repub- Uc about three hundred aud thirty thousand.

THORSD. in the city by am encounfer at the Pulaski House between a captain in the national army and Colonel Howell, brother-in-law of Jeff. Davis, and another-ex- officer of the rebel confederacy. The two rebels, itis stated, while drunk, indulged in indecent and treasonable remarks, for which the Union officer took them to task and gave them a thrashing, as, it is added, ho also subse- quently served two other rebels who took their part. General George A. Mercer, of the late rebel army, had been arrested in Savannah and sent to Fort Pulaski. Late Raleigh papers, in advocating the peculiar claims: and advantages of North Carolina for Nortuern emigra- tion, say there are great exaggerations in the recent accounts published of lawlessness, opposition to the natioual government and a disposition to persecute Un'on men and the colored peoplo of that State, While adwiiting instances of this kind, it is claimed that they are only isolated cases, and that the people generally are quiet and well disposed towards the government and the North, acquiesce cheerfully in the abolition of slavery and the new labor system, and are determined to avoid the revival of past issues and the agitation of questions: which can only lead to further misfortune, and perbapa the confiscation of their property. . ‘The lutest estimates of the Kent election give five membegs of Congress in favor of the ition of slavery as positively elected out of the entire pine. ne Goneral Brisbane, in’an official report, states that. Kentucky has furnished over twenty thousand colored troops to the army, and that twenty-four thousand wo- ‘men and children have bees manumitted in that State by the act of Congress giving freedom to the families of colored soldiers, Altogether, he says, over one hundred thousand colored people havo bon freed in Kentucky throagh tho instrumentality of the army. The State convention of the colored people of Tennes- fee continued in session at Nashville yesterday. In the afternoon of the previous day a committee was appoint- ed to wait on Governor Brownlow and General Fisk, Assistant Commissioner of Freedmen’s Affa'rs, and in- vite them to address the convention. The Governor did not attend; but General Fisk appeared, and made an eloquent specch, which called forth much applauge, There was another large attendance and another fine day’s sport yesterday on the Saratoga Springs race course. There were threo races—a mile and a half dash for three year olds, contested by three racers, and won by Baltimore in two minutes and forty-one and a half seconds; a mile dash for two year olds, in which thero were four contestants, and in which the bay filly Ulrica was the winner in one minute and fifty-one and a quarter seconds; and a mile and a quarter race for all ages, won by Arcola in two minutes and th rteen and a half seconds, Tho first of this summer's Wednesday afternoon con- certs on the lake in the Park took place yesterday, and was attended by thousands of persons of every class, all ‘of whom seemed to fully enjoy tho delicious music, the Deauties of the grounds and the delightful weathor. At the meeting of tho Fire Comm’ssionors yesterday a Fesolution was adopted to immediately organize sixteen engine companies and seven hook and laddor compani*s, two of the former to be allotted to each district and one of the latter, oxcept in the Fourth district, which is already supplied. Tho other business which came up was not of general intorest, Tho reg lar monthly meeting of the Shipowners’ As- sociation of this city was held yostorday afternoon. The proceedings consisted principally of the reading of the Teport of tho special committge on Quaraatine regula- tlons, which was of coltsidcrable length, detailing the quarantine ab:ses abd presenting charges of a grave character against tha Health Oicor and other officials. It was stated that tho H-alth O:ficor's feos amount to one hundred thousand dbllars per annum, and that his power ig more absolute and unrestrained than that of the President of the United States. Tho report was a proved and a commiléeo was appointed to attend to the dra'ting of @ bill to b> presenied to tho Legislature for » new Quarantine law, The body of Miss Mary EF. Ericsson, of 239 West Thir- tieth street, one of the victims of Iast faturday's explo- sion on board the steamboat Arrow, which was found floating in the North river on Tuesday evening, was iden- tified by her friends yesterday. Mr. Kaward Hand, who for the past four years has been Deputy Superivtendent of the Banking Department of this state, has been appointed by Governor Fenton to the position of Superintendent, to dil the piace made vacant by Mr. Van Dyck, the late incumbent, having b en appointed United States Avsistant Treasurer in this city. A disession on negro sufrago, which was participated in by a number of genttemen, took place last night in Metropolitan Hall, Sixth avenue. One of the speakers— Rev. Mr, Jones—in advo aling the claim of the colored men to vote, stated that the census shows that in this city the negroes pay twen'y thousand dollars more than the cost of thejr own poor; that in proportion to popula- tion thirty.seven of them went to the war to every twenty-five white men, and that the number who canst read is only one in seven, while of whites it 1s one in five. No complete veteran military organizations have arrived in this city during the pass two days.

The communication which wo published yes- terday from our Charleston correspondent re- veals the fact that there is @ oconfiet in that State between the military and civil authorities which must impede the pacification of affairs there. The difficulty it appears arises from the fact that the Provisional Governor of the State, Mr. Perry, has issued a proclamation requesting the parties who were discharging the duties of sheriff when the Southern confederacy col- lapsed to at once resume their duties and assist in the organization of the State. ‘fhe old sheriff of the Charleston district applied to the military authorities, under this order, for the possession of the jailand the papers of the office. The commandant of the post refused to comply with the request of the sheriff, on the ground that it conflicted with his orders, and, further, that he had no knowledge whether the proclamation was genuine or not. To sus- tain himself in that refusal the military officer refers to an order issued by bimself in February last. It seems to us that this officer can have but small appreciation of his duty, and must imagine himself king in that locality, even superior to the commanderin-chief of our armies and aavy, the President. There cer- tainly cannot be any other ground upon which he can justify his action. The order which he refers to was issued as long ago as February, whereas the President, in appointing Mr. Perry Provisicnal Governor, about the Ist of July, issued an order directing all the military com- manders in the State to render him all the ‘assistance in their power in establishing civil law. But this shoulder-strap official directly refuses'to obey the order of the President If he bas any order from his superior officers to justify him in that course, why does he not publish it and let the public know what officials are engaged in frustrating the policy of the President? We have for somo time past heard vague romors that the radicals had se- cured the co-operation of officials in the gov- ernment to checkmate the President and dofeat his reorganization policy. Does this post com- mander at Charleston receive his orders from Cabinet officials or somo abolition general ? Ia regard to the hubbub abou! the election of late secessionists to office, it looks to us like a tempest in a texpot, or the cry of men who find themselves unable to secure their own election to office. If thero is any election held at all it will be impossible to prevent the success of some of those who were engaged in the secession move- ment. The most prominent are excluded by the amnesty proclamation. This takos in all the most noted cases, and they cannot cer- tainly be elected to office until they have been pardoned, nor are any others eligible until they have taken the oxth of allegiance. We donbt if a sudicient number could be found in the State of South Carolina to fill the offices who have no’ been secossionists—many trom honost convictions, snd olbers for v. 3 reasons.

The latest nows givesno report of atarme: or otber natural obstacieg encountenad; by; the Great Eastorn, and igis safe to paasume, that the disaster which oggurred on Judy,29. is. te be toaced to some suc,defect as thatwhiob was @iscovered on the Srmer occasion, and which, tis equally safe to, hope, can be obviated as easily and as repidly. The mtest published report from tho. Great Easterm shows that all was perfect for the first five hundred and fifty miles, and thates seven hundred miles only bad been paid out the defect is within one hundred and fifty miles of the steamen But as the elec- trical testa are continually kept up the detect mus: become known aa soon as it occurs, and consequently the defective point lies within the short length of cable which must necessarily be run out while the breaks are being gradually applied and the ship brought to. That.the de- fect must have been but a short distance from the ship is shown by the language of the de- spatch in stating that seven hundred m‘les had been paid out when insulation suddenly ceased. The experience in repnirizg the first faulty piece of the cable shows with what ease it can be wound up and recoiled on board the vesseb, Had the defect, however, been repaired withia twenty-four hours after its occurrence, we ahould not yet have received the gratifying intelligence, since the Cuba is the latest weasel which has arrived from Queenstown. Besides this it has been agreed upon to send no un- necessary messages through the wire while be- ing laid, and the next steamer may bring us tho news of the repair of the cable without deigning any explanation of the loss of insula- tion. We think that there is yet reason to hope that the next steamer from Enrope, or, perhaps, the arrival of the Great Eastern at Heart’s Content, will give ua intelligence of ; the repair and successful submersion of the , gaies of Matamoros to Mon « cable, Proornss or IMrearat.
