THE ATLANTIC CABLE. ‘Comm: aa to Ite Promotors— , United States M! ter Adams on the Reine tons with England and the Uses of the Tele- een Livenroot, March 14, 1867, ‘The American Chamber of Commerce in this city gave @ grand banquet to-night in honor of the promoters ‘ef the Atlantic cable, at which fine gold medals were presented to Cyrus W. Field, Captain Anderson, Mr. Canning and Mr. Willoughby Smith. The entertain- ment was @ splendid affair. Tbe American Minister, Mr. Adams, and all the leading American merchants of thls city were present. ‘ ‘William Rathbone, Esq., presided. The usual loyal ‘toasts were given and the health of the President of the ‘United States was drank. ' Mr. Adams, in reply toa highly complimentary toast, “@isolatmed all personal credit for the maintenance of peace between England and America, saying that his ‘eourse had been dictated by the American government. Hoe thought that the magnitude of the relations between he two countries was the best guarantee of peace. Tho telegraph, be hoped, would strengthen that guarantee, and might ultimately supersede diplomacy and merge the ‘World into one nation an‘ one language. Mr. Rathbone, the cha:'rman, proposed the health of the projector of the Atlantic cable and his associates, "He awardod the highest credit to Mr. Field, as the pro- Jector of the great undertaking, and extolled his perse- peverance. Mr. Field returned thanks for the honor extended to Abim and said he would be ever grateful for the valuabie -memento he had received. He contrasted the present wactess of the cable with the severe disappointments the ‘erork had met with in the past. He did justice to all en- paged in the great enterprise, from the government autho- ities down to the sailors and workmen. He said the ox- ‘isting cables were perfect in construction, and could do (twelve times the amount of work which was now offered. ‘le therefore hoped the tariff on messages would soon be #educed, so that both lines might be kept constantly in operation. He was in favor of allowing the transmission jot political intelligence to the press on both sides of the ‘ocean at rates which would enable them to publish the feat nows of the world cvory day. He promised that the working facilife: of the cables would be ‘Amproved and extended in America, and eloquently ex- peatiated on tho future benefits to be derived when these ents had been completed. He concluded by ing that the Atlantic cable would be the means of @ementing the friendship of the two nations, that words of enmity might never pass between the mother and child, and that their only rivairy would be in extending Mhe dlesgings of liberty in either hemisphere. Mr. Field's speech was received with the most enthu- Biastic applause. t Captain Sir James Anderson made a speech, in the ‘@ourse of which he declared that had it not been for the (axortions of Mr, Field the cable would never have been tala. Aspeech was also made by Mr. Willoughby Smith, Mr. Canning was unavoidably absent. FRANCE. The Opening of the Exhibition. Pants, March 15, 1867.

A most sfandalous case occupied the Judge of the Divores Court in London. The plaintiff is an army officer and a man of large means, and the co-respondent is also an officer possessed of much property. Damages were laid at £10,000. The jury, having heard the evi- dence adduced, came to the conclusion that £10,000 was not too much in the way of penalty to inflict upon a ‘man who had behaved in such # manner as it was sworn the co-respondent had done. ” The death of William Thompson, the Maori chief, one of the most remarkable men that any native race bas ever produced, 1s announced. He fought in the Wai- kato war, and fought with skill and gallantry. He con- ducted military operations in a manner which excited the ungrudging admiration of General Cameron, of the Britisb army, and he averred that he took up arms not because he hated the English or was inimical to the rule of the Queen, but to defend the right of his people to their land and to prevent the extinction of their na tional life.

Mr. George Potter was called to the chair. The proceed: ings were chiefly of an introductory character, It was mentioned, however, by one speaker, Mr. McDonald, that he had heard that the Trades’ Unions Commission was to conduct its Inquiry with closed doors, and that thie statement elicitea marks of strong disapproval.

He expressed bis great admiration for the address of Bishop Moriarty, who bad put the saddle on the right horse, condemning not only the Fenians but those who bad encouraged that most iaju- rious conspiracy, Mr. Coltsman next addressed tho Grand Jury. He said that the objects of the Fenians were communistic—to level all ranks of society and destroy property, He was sorry to say that the com- spiracy was far more extended than people imagined; but he trusted that Irishmen would see the fruitlessness of attempts at rebellion, and when they did the inevita ble result would be the prosperity, welfare and happi- ness < their country. The resolution passed unani- mously. A letter from Cork states that Michael J. O'Sullivan, a national teacher, who had been tracked by the police since January, 1860, was arrested on Saturday at Don- ouzhmore station on a charge of treason felony. Arrests continue to be made from time to time of suspicious looking persons who arrive here from Liver- pool, a detachment of the constabulary being constantly posted at the wharf. A young man named Carey was arrested in Fethard on Wednesday last by Mr. Monahan, §. 1, under a war- rant transmitted by the Lord Lieutenant, and conveyed on the same day to Clonmel jail. He is charged with being imlicated in the Fenian movement. THE DERBY CABINET. OMcial Rupture on the Reform Question. [From the London Star, March 4.] ‘The rupture in the Cabinet which we anticipated has taken place. General Peel, Lord Cranborne and the Earl of Carnar- von refuse to go as far in the way of lowering the suf- frage as their colleagues in the Ministry, and therofore they resign. There was a Cabinet Council meeting on Saturday, at which the proposed Reform bill was, it is understood, the chief topic of discussion, and as the ma- jority of the Cabinet were inclined to gave their places by meeting the wishes of the liberal party as to the borough franchise, the three Ministers whom we have named tendered their resicnations. Whether the govern- ment will be able to patch up its Cabinet and go on with ney work it professes to have taken into band remains to geen. It bas been stated that Sir Stafford Northcote was to go to India ag the successor of Sir J, Lawrence, This is very unlikely. Sir Stafford Northcote is one of the few members of the Cabinet in whom the party have conf- dence, and it is not probable that ho will leave his seat in the House of Commons to take a post for which, as far as we are able to judge, he is not eminently fitted. (From the London Star, March 5.} In the House of Lords last night the Earl of Derby made a statement in reference to the Ministerial diffl- culties, It amounted to this: The Cabinet, in deter- mining to deal with reform, had two ‘alternative plans. To one ot these two of the mombers of the Cabinet objected altogether, but at length gave a re- luctant consent to the other, That other was stated to the House of Commons and was approved by nobody. Thereupon the Cabinet reconsidered its pro- posalz, and though the adoption of the more onlarged Plap iwrolved the sacrifice of three colleagues, that S%riflce was determined upon. Lord Carnarvon fol- lowed with an explanation, in the course of which he said that he ehoula not have objection to household suffrage in all boronghs with more than a certain popula- tion, vet to male the franchise alike in large aud small places was abhorrent tohim. Earl Granville and Earl Grey continued tho discussion, and the Earl of Derby wound it up with a specch in which he justified the conrse taken by the Ministry, In the House of Commons there was much anxicty evinced to hear what was to be aid about the question of reform and the Ministerial difficulties, Before the time when public business usually begins every sont in the body of the House was occupied, and the galleries were fairly filled. Viscount Cranborne came into the House at twenty minutes past four o'clock, and took his seat on tho frout bench below the gangway on the gov. ernment side. Goneral Peel did not arrive until lat and then he brought up some paper’, He took his seat on the Ministeria! bonch, and intended to have mado bis statement in reapect to the army estimates, This, how- ever, he did not succeed in doinz, and his career as a Minister is now probably closed, On the motion for going into committee of supply the CRANcRLLOR oF tue Excnrgven got up, and in a specch which lasted only a few minutes made a statemen' ‘ini he last spoke on the subject of reform the fn: the Cabinet had determined to recur to their original policy as to the franchise ip boroughs. and he regretted that this jad ed to the resignation of three of his col- Teaguea. Egring specially mentioned im a regretful manner th: of Genoral Peel, he said arrangemonts had been made which, if they met with the spproval of her Majesty, wonld enable lim to state on Friday that Lord Derby’s Cabinet wae complete. It would be pro- posed that the Reform bill should be brought in on Mon- day the 18th inst. He should azk the House to read the Dili a second time on the Monday following, and as soon 28 possible to go into committee and sit de die in diem until the bill was got thronzh. Tho ntter emptiness of thjs statement fairly silenced the House fora few moments. At last, however, Mr. Bernal Osborne found his voice, and insisted that the tee should be told ee = ie ctreamatasers oem led to the resignation e three Min! soonkath Cranborne, but his lordship to Lord Ne ‘* real tnat hed taven place, WP Olgdatona mage 4 e miserable 8 which iy od speech, pointing out had been in dealing with this question, and urged there should be no more of them. He did not wish to be understood to withdraw the plodge ho had previously given as to fairly considering the bill which might he proposed; but there must be no mistake sbout the Measure, It must be straightforward. Of course it must contain something new; but there must be nothing new-fangled. It must not be ascheme which, with the semblance of giving. had the reality of taking away. faving thus given notice to the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, Mr. Gladstone passed to another subject, and the debate was not continued. Later in the evening, however, Mr. Bernal Osborne returned to the charge. He complained that tho infor- mation which had been refused in the House of Com- mons had been given in the House of Lords. The Chan- cellor of the Exchequer was not to be moved, however, Until he knew what had taken place in the House of Lords he would make no further statement, Here the matter ended. [From the London Star, March 6.] The Mouse of Commons was enlivened by explanations from Mr. Disraeli, General Peel and Lord Cranvorne as to the recent secessions from the ministry, and br a farther discussion of the whole question, in which Mr. Lowe, Mr, Gladstone, Mr, Horsman, Lord Stanley and Mr. Bright took leading pert. Mr, Disrae!i’s statement amounted briefly to this—that Lord Derby, convinced by the reform demonstrations held in the course of the autumn, had come to the conclusion that he must deal with reform, and deal with it on an extended basi, Mr. Disraeli himself agreed with that proposition, When the Cabinet met proposals were laid before it in accordance with Lord Derby's desire. Those proposals seem to have been objected to by the obstructive members of the Cabi- not, and finally the proposal made on the 25tb of Febru- ary was toasacompromise. That proposal met with no favor anywhere. Therefore Lord Derby reverted to bis original proposition, which seers to be Rousebola suffrage with plural voting of some kind. General Peel and Lord Cranborne gave their own version of the affair. Gencral Peel's speech was particu. larly amusing. He was to bear the taunte of those who might recail his speeches of last year, and he was prepared even to undergo the severe punishment of foing. into the lobby !n favor of a reform measure; but @ could not consent to the bill which the Cabinet had now determined on bringing in. Lord Cranborne was still more explicit, and gave alengthened statement of the painfal inquiries which he had made before he came to the conclusion that he must decline to accept Lord Derby's fe . Mr. Gladstone commented very freely upon the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and con- tended that he had no right at any time to assume that the opposition would be willing to infer from the present foverament any measure which would be less extensive than that the Jate government pi last year. Mr, Lowe's speech was a bitter wail over his present isolation, and his betrayal by the tories, whom he had helped inte om. last year. He had come to the at conclusion 1! the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Bright bad formed a coalition, and thia fancy his own he took great pains to Mr. Hoffman denounced the government for their democratic tendencies, and brought up. Lord Stan- ley, who said it was a great mistake to suppose that the government were going to bring In a measure containing Py) such as those Mr. Bright had made. Mr. right followed, and humorously demolished the theory of acoalition between himself and the Derby govern- ment. Having disposed of his assailant, he concluded a brief with an exhortation to the House to enter manfully and frankly upon tho work of passing a Ro- form bill, The rest of the debate had no special interest. SEIZURES OF DISTILLERIES AND WHISKEY IN BROOKLYR. Yesterday morning a distillery in the roar of a house on Grabam street, near Myrtle avenue, was seized by the revenue authorities for a claimed violation of the law. The still was of the capacity of one handred and fifty gallons, and is said to belong to John Conner. The distillery of Mr. E.

Hiram Wooedruf, Al three o'clock yesterday moraing this famous vete- ran of the turf died, at his residence on Long Island, of an attack of congestion of the lungs, added to the liver compiaint. For the past thirty years Mr, Woodruff beid ® prominent position among the sporting fraternity, Asa trainer and driver he was superior to avy turf- men in the worid; and these qualities, added to a charac- ter of unimpeachable integrity, made him # favorite, not only with the owners of trotting horses, but with the public at targe. Mr. Woodru‘? was born in Bucks county, Pa., on the 22d of February, 1817, His father and uncle were well known turfinen, and from them he obtained his first knowledge of the manuer in which a horse should be trained, When quite a lad he removed to Philadelphia, and tn that city and Baltimore first appeared asa jockey. The remarkable succeas that at- tonded nearly’ all the horses ho rode soon brought him into notice, and upon bis removal to New York he was sought after by numbers of owners of horses, who desired to secure his eervices for the racing seasons. His reputation as a trainer and rider, however, did not become established until be was put in on of the famoug trotting horse Dutchman. @ course of careful training in 1839 he rode Dutchman a three mile heat for $1,000 against time, and came out win- ner, having made the distance in seven minutes and thirty-two and a half seconds, The extraordinary time made in this race fully established his repu- tation as being the first turfman in the country. He now settled in life as a professional jockey, obtaining as many offers for his services as he couM possibly accept. Indeed, it is doubtful if there were or are in this country trotting horses of note with which be had not something to doat times, either in training Or in handling the ribbons. The confidence reposed in his ability and honesty were unbounded, and - never failed to do full justice to those who employed im. The rapid strides which have been made in de- veloping the of trotting horses in this country during the past twenty years are more due to Mr. Woodruff than to any other member of the turf. He was, in fact, the pioncer of America in his profession. After Dutchman he trained and drove Ripwn, Confidence, Flora Temple, Rose of Washington, Boston Girl, Lagy Woodruff and Dexter, together with many other well known trotting horses. One of his most famous races was the trotting match between Ripton and Lady Sutton; Hiram drove Ripton, and, to the astonishment of all, lost the first heat. The excite- ment became inteuse and heavy odds wore offered against his winning the race, Upon his appearing for the second heat every eye was upon him, and when the horses started the crowd was treated with a brilliant ox- hibition of jockeyship. The result was that he ‘won the two tast heats and the race, and came in winner amid the deafening applause of both winners and losers, all parties being satisfied that it was entirely owing to bis skill as a driver that the success was achieved. Another famous and exc.ting contest in which he was successful was his race on the Union Course some twelve years ago, when he took Kemble Jackson and defeated O'Blennig, Iola, Prince and Boston Girl. Mr, Woodruff was probably the first man on record who drove a horse in a race without traces. This he did in 1867 with Bos- ton Girl. Being avery bard puller, and the traces fangling about her legs on the first hi Hiram ordered the ‘Dutch collar’ and tra to be taken off. The order was obeyed and he won the next two heats with ease, nothing drawing the vehicle bat the reins. On the 2d of September, 1856, Mr. Woodruff drove Fiora Tempie in barness against Tacony, on the Union Conrse, and came out winner in 2:2444, making the quickest time then on record. The excitement that was manifested in the sporting world when this achievement became known has never since been equalled, not excepting that caused by Dexter’s achievement of 2:18 since that time. While horseracing was the business of Hiram Wood- ruff it was not purely from mercenary motives that he devoted his entire time to it. The fact was that he loved horses, and the turf was the proper field on which to display that affection, In a series of articles which he wrote for A sporting journal of this city he says of bjs favorite Dutchman that he ‘was the best, take him forall in all, of the old time trotters.” At the time when Dutcoman was in his zenith it must be remem- bered that race tracks were not kept in as good condition as they now are; vehicles were not as perfect, and even the breed of horses had not attained that excellence which the scienco of man hae since develo] And it must be sald of Hiram that, notwithstanding these drawbacks, he made *‘time’’ in those days to which old turimen look back with reverence. He was the first man to combat the belief that the trou was an artificial gait for tbe horse. His argument ar to the elk, deer and other quadrupeds was unanswerabie. Mr. Woodruff waa a man who loved society. Possessed of a good heart and jovial disposition, his company was sought after by all who desired to hear about turf mat- ters. Ho used to tell with at gusto of the chances of arace when trotters that “broke” when in harness were obliged to be stopped and backed up 80 that the judges could see the wheels “go back,” and when jockeys in the saddle were obliged to tarn their horses around before they could start again. Although he ‘was pot of @ liberal education, Mr. roff was a map of ee Laven a and ah" wuod- cess was not whoily duc to his ~ Senaitivences of his ban’. suaatenfy strength, the It was princinal’ -« sor the quickness of his eye. sour mg OWlng to his careful stuay of the .. watch enabled him to decide what pe doue and what the capacity of the agimal was. never buoyed up the owner of a horse with hopes which he knew could never be fulfilled, but plainly and candidly told whether, in his opinion, the animal was likely to win or lose, And this same honest was apparent in all his dealii He never sold a but always tried to win. A fellow jockey once said to him, ‘Hiram, you drive for glory; I for brick houses. See how poor you are, while 1 am rich.” And it was true that his a ‘nies integrity kept him poor im a pecai . If amy man attempted to bribe him ji purposely losing a race, the same person uever tried it more than once, Indeed, for many yeare [al no one would have thought of offering him a bribe. It was well known that when he came on the race track it was to win bis race if possible, and no outside considerations could induce him to act otherwiee. This knowledge of his honesty made men have faith in him, so that if he ever Jost a race, the un- lucky owner of the horse was satisied that it was be- cause the victor was tbe better animal of the iwo. On the 22d of last February Mr. Woodruff celebrated his fiftieth birthday with his friends, and although he was then ailing, none supposed that hia death was so near at hand, He was tne prietor of a hotel near the Union Course, L. I., and his house was a popular Place of resort for sporting men generally. Althongh he Was 80 Very successful in his racing career he was never a wealthy man. The fact was that his open-hearted libe- rality, edded toa naturally convivial disposition, made him lavish bis money as fast as he earned it. . He in want, however. About a year ago a num- lemen of wealth in all parts of the country, who took an interest in his welfare, bought the house and grounds he possessed at his death, and after putting them 1 order made bin a prosent of the title deeds as a mark of their appreciation of his ekilias @ trainer and driver and for bis honesty #s a mao. Pr By the death of Hiram Woodruff the sporting world has sustained a loss that cannot Khe « be replaced. At the time of bis death his stabies were filled with some of the best horses in the country, and he was engaged for a large number of matches that were made to come bas Rane dng =e eoason. roughout the country wherever horse is jopular the death of Hiram Woodruff wilt poo lamented, No pen Of his profession had fewer enemies and more friends.

A large number of sporting men assembled last evening at the Florence saloon, Broadway, for the purpose of entering horses for the purses offered by the proprietors of the Union Course for trotting races. In to the memory of Hiram Woodruff, however, it was determined to pestpone the matter until Friday, the 22d inst.
