Monsieur ‘Moderio Lanctot, the prominent rouge candidate to repre- sent Montreal as against Cartier, having returned from a tour to New York, received a perfect ovation from Young Canada, and Young Ireland combined on the oceasion to escort him through the streets in a earriage decked witn Douquets aud drawn by four horses, The vivats and evthosiasm were in regular Irien style, Mr. Lanctove eppenenta in the press had circulated the report that hig visit to New York was solely to get bis pockets flied with gold and greenbacks—tbough be certainly couldn’t have picked ‘em. up so in Wall strest—im order to influence the elections in an annexation sense, It was on account of this report that the meeting was held, speeches being made in French and English—I had almost said in Irish, so many of these were present. ‘Tbe orators, though inexperienced in tho stumping art, made a very good out of it, duly convicted their “calumniators,”’ and uttered some very sensible views, standing, as they do, on @ platform of common sense and justice, as opposed to that of, ignorance, Diind fanati- clem, aristocratic intrigue end fraud.

But irom fact that they bestow many columns upon him I ‘lude that they really look upon bim as being some- where in the race, Indeed, I gather on good authority that be stands a good chance of election, as Cartier 1s universally regarded as being too much of a sider with the Sritishere, and is, consequently, called a traitor to bis French nationality, ‘They say ‘he regrets not being a thoroughbred Jobn Bull, favoris-citelete and ali.”” The papers this morning are also taken up with Mr. Mevee's revelations upon Fenianism; but, from their looks, it would seem they could not possibly do mach damage to that celebrated confraternity. I witnessed a somewhat curious sight yesterday. I saw Jeff Davis waiking all alone in Notre Dame street and immedistely recognized him, though be seemed to be at that point of the street incognito to the passere.

N. R.; Mesara, Nesbett and Watson, Mr, Turner, engineer; Dr, Dunlap, surgeon, and Charles Williams, pilot, She has a doubie supply of men and nineteen cable hands. As she has been char- ered for this service the vessel is under the direct orders of engineer Webb, who represents the contractors, An entire week was consumed in erecting the gear for paying out the cable, Fears were entertained that a longer deiay would regu)t as very strivgent quarantine regulations bad been established at Key Weet by the military authorities, But Geweral Smith obtained from Genera) Pope, commanding the district, an order except- ing the vegzel from the quarantine regulations, and on Saturday morning, Auguet 3, at daylight, the Narva steamed out toa buoy Ove-eighthe of a mile from the island, accompanied by the United States war steamer Taboma, Captain Stanton, and the lighthouse steamer Fountain, Captaiv® Dove.

At this carly stage of the work, hundreds of the inhabitants of Havana apd Chor- rera lined the shore, while the road leadiug from the city was dotted by elegumt equipages, hacks avd volanies, and silver studded liveries, heading for the telegraph house. Several steamers made excursion trips from Havana et $2 per person, and steamed around the Narva, The bay perhaps never before presented so gay an appearance, and the Cubans certainly gratified their curiosity, as far as outside work was concerned. None were admitted to the decks of the vessel. ‘A fow minutes before one the warp line was run ashore and made fast, the cable waa coiled iuio one of the launchers, and at half-past three P.
