EUROPE. Free Trade Against Protection in England and Spain. The Count de Paris on Trades Unions and the Rights of Labor. Turkey and Bgypt and Their Mutual Relations. The Cunard steamship China, Captain Macauley, from Liverpool the 21st and Queenstown the 22d of August, arrived at this port yesterday evening, bringing @ matl report in detail of our cable teie- grams dated to her day of departure from England. ‘The officer Negri, who is believed to have mur- dered an Italian countess oa @ railway between Naples and Florence, was arrested. How he got to ‘the carriage in which she was or how he left the train fas not been explained. From Russia comes report of a fearful result of re- ligious fanaticism. The prophets of a new religion Appeared lately in the territory of Saratow. They came preaching self-destruction by fire as the only sure road to salvation; and so readily was their dreadful doctrine received by the ignorant and su- Perstitious peasantry that tn one large viliage no tewer than 1,700 persons assembled in some wooden honses, aud having barricaded thesdoors and win- dows set the building on fire and perished in the flames, The authorities are doing ail they can to stay the progress of this new madness, but their task 4s obviously a dimicult one.

The introduction of free institutions in Austria has given rise to an important movement among the workingmen, with the object of improving the relations between them and their employers. This movement 18 not contined to the great'industrial establishments, but has spread even to the smallest trades, such as comb makers, sweeps, waiters, &c. ‘The question of trade associations in Austria is at present in a state of transition. By the existing law trades unions are forbidden, but the new con- stitution contains provisions which nullify this pro- hibition, The matter was brought forward at the last session of the Reichsrath, but no decision was arrived at, though it is known that the committee of the House which was appointed to consider the question deciared itself in favor of the legalization of trades unions, The London Shipping Gazette of the 19th of August, evening, reports:— The yacnt Cambria, which stood well on Thursday to win for the second time the town cup of Ryde, lost all possibility of doting so by carrying away, in rounding the Noman, her foretopmast, consequent on the top backstay hooks giving way. In bearing away to clear the wreck about three minutes were Jost. In the beat down to Ryde and in bearing up to round Calshot light the Cambria’s maintopmast went with a crash, and the matinmast head at the same time. The foremast also appears to have been sprung, and two new masts are now being put in, which we understand will not be bored out, The [Isthmus Qf Suez journal publishes the tollow- ing despatch, aatea Suez, August 16:—Yesterday we had a splendid sé/e here, The waters of the Mediter- ranean and of the Red Sea met each other in the Bitter Lakes. The filling of these last 1s now se- cured. The London Times of the 2ist of August has an article on the return of the political exiles to France, tn which it says:— . Crowds, we are told, have been for several days assembling morning and evening at the Northern and Eastern railway stations in Paris, eager to greet the poiitical exiles returning from England, from Beigium and from Switzerland, in consequence of the decree of amnesty issued on Sunday last. Hun- dreds of these refugees have already reached their homes, but their numbers have hitherto in some degree disappointed public expectation, partly be- cause proscriptions for political causes have really not been very frequent in these later years of unpe- rial rule; but chieny because many of those to whom the act of ob'ivion extended either took no heed of its imminent pudiication or dured not anticipate a measure 60 general as to include themselves in its provisions, and had made no timely preparations to avail themselves or it. A correspondent of a London journal writes that the wife of Don Carlos was at Fontainebleau, France, with her two children, a boy and agirl. The Prin- cess keeps court and has a prime munister to direct affairs. In personal appearance she is prepossess- ing. She ts slenderiy built, and has fine black eyes, ‘and her face beams with good temper. Von Carlos ts five feet nine inches in height, and 1s also slen- derly built. He is very active and intelligent, and ig considered to bear an excellent likeness to his grandfather. The Cork Reporter, in an article on the Irish land question and the visitof the London Times’ speciai commussioner to Irelamd, expresses an opinion that the Irish people ought not to be too sanguine in their hopes of an easy settlement of the question. An annual report on the crops of England ap- pears in the London Times. It estimates the wheat crop to be four bushels per acre, or about thirteen per cent below the average, and ten bushels per acre, or about twenty-elght per cent, under last year’s crop; but believes that a considerable portion of this deficiency will be met by the additional acreage under wheat. Of all the cereal crops barley ig the most variable. Comparing this year’s pro- duce with that of last year, Uhere is this year less wheat, but more barey, hay, straw, and altogether a@ greater yield of every description of stock goods.

Protection and Free Trade=Taxes—National Deficit—Proposed Reduction of Expendi- tures. MADRID, August 9, 1869, Americans can very Well understand the cause o¢ Catalonia and wil readily pity her, beiog, it is said, in the majority protectionists themselves. The same reasons that induce Americans to be protectionists induced Catalomians te be also; and really, if any citizen of either of these countries puts his mind to think of these causes without prejudice, whole host of reasons can be deduced which wil; prove that they are inthe main right to be protec- tionists, Civil war both in America and Catalonia have brought about the same state of things. Food and wages are much higher now in Spain than ever they were. Fifteen years ago one could live at the best of hotels for thirty reals velion, or $1 50 per day; now board ts charged fifty and sixty reals—up to three dollars per day. Wages is double, also, what it was at that time. Clothing and shoes command extraordinary prices, For a fair suit of cassimere cloth one has to pay forty dollars, when formerly it could be got for thirty doilars, But Englishmen and their sympathizers will say that this was produced by trying to protect home manufactares. Travellers in Spain will say “‘No,’? Spanish protectionists will say “No,” and give as a better reason that these high prices were but the natural results of the Carlist ‘wars; that in consequence of these wars home man- factures had sunk to a very low ebb; that Catalonia, the province chiefly of manufactures, was re- dace to great iatress, and that legislation was necessary to relieve it, and it was ed that in order to place home manufac- ona level with foreign manufactures heavy duties should be imposed upon everything that came into Spain. Under this system, therefore, Catalonia felt herself abie to compete with foreign marketable goods, and she revived and was becom- ing prosperous aad rich. Now, however, Catalonia must agatn aink low; for the Cortes has passed a law ordaining that “all ‘marketable goods shall be ad- mitted for commerce in the Spanish dominions, of the Peninsula and adjacent isles, without further exceptions than those articles prohibited by penal law, upon which shall be imposed customs duties specifically termed, extraordinary fiscal and bal- ance, ‘The extraordinary duties shall be upon those goods nitherto under the protectorate duty, and shall pot ore than thirty per 100, and upon those Ssene¥la Hrohibited shail be charged thirty-five per 100, The fiscal demand8 fifteen per 100, and what ts termed balance wh per cent, according to weight or measure. For tle space of six years from the enrrent month of July the extraordinary duties shall not be removed and will be unalierab) due e'xth year the duties shail be reduced yr tothe twelfth year, when they shail have ached the sage standard’ as the (seal duties. Extension or reduction of duties cannot be conceded in favor of any industry, public establishment, society or ass. Tnis, however, does pot apply to the derogation of boy bp franchise estab- ign nations. Commissions shall establish tables of prices and measure of the ar- person of anv cli lished by treaties with tcles impot each year, and shall make remarks which they think upon the commerce and industry of each y that the government may know and legislate for the next year without preju- dice to commerce and industry.”” By what I have quoted the reader will see that the protectionists have been defeated. Formerly the duties were upon the “extraordinary” fifty and sixty a and to be reduced still more until they reach the ‘fiscal’ standard, This law was passed ty 119 free traders Of these 119 sixty- Eveo Prim and those for- per cent, now reduced to thirty per cent against thirty-one protecticatees, seven were republicans, merly on the protectionist side voted t them. England will be @ great gamer by this law; so will France and Ameri But time ca. will prove whether Spain will be. {f Seflor Madoz is the elected spokesmarr of Catalonia she will be a great loser, and the authorities—the government— have arrayed entire Catalonia against it in case of a Carlist war, The capitation tax has been passed, despite the efforts made by the republicans. It must be remem- bered that it is to replace the obnoxious one known by the name of “coniriducion de consumos." The teen years, both male and female, are subject to it, with the exception of the paupers, prisoners and others sustained by the public funds. Pie tax Is to be in proportion to the wealth of each person. The government expects to realize by this tax $7,500,000 Per annum, which will be at the rate of nearly ifty cents per head. The ‘ingresos revenue” and tariff question being thus disposed of, the Cortes is now giving its entire attention to the ‘presupuestos—estimates of ex- nditure. Each Deputy is well aware that je estimates are entirely too vast for Spain's regent crippled finances, and much ingenuity has spent in trying to dis) of the enormous de- ficit of nearly 45,000,000 The r of Finance, seeing the evident disinclination of the Cortes to vote the expenditure for the coming year, has also paid much attention towards the disposal of the de- cit, and has drawn up list which proves that the deficit ts unnecessary if the Cortes is so inclined. ‘Ths list embraces reduction of embassies, consul generaiships, consulates, secretaries of various posts, assessors, generals of various districts, auditors, diminution of subsidies to public works, &c., which reduces the deticit 40,000,000 reais, which, indeed, 1s nearly ali that is necessary. The embassies to France, England, China, Russia, United States and Turkey are still to be kept, but the others are to be abolished ae present, Each existing ambassa- dor’s pay is to be reduced one-sixth, and this small reduction in one year amounts 0 $250,000. This ts a ste the right direction, pin and the country 1s indebted for it to Seflor Fernando Garrido, of the Jguaidad and his compatriots. But, really, the fact that embarrassed Spain paid $50,000 per annum to the ambassador to ice Was an anomaly in this enlightened century; and that it was about to persist im this insensate course, ag in many others of, like nature, ts also anomalous, ‘fhe representations of foreign fet upon the draw- backs of Spain bring her leaders rulers to act differently, and contribute little by little to make Spaniards believe that whoever says “Spain” says not all in this world. Since September last what outsiders think of their conduct has been a subject of curiosity to the people, and a great many curious facts have come home to their minds in just this way; for they find that foreign opinion of them rules their exchange and their wealth, ENGLAND. The Reduction of the Rate of Discount. {From the London Times (City Article), August 20.] The directors of the Bank of England have further reduced their rate of discount from three per cent, at which it was fixed on the 15th ult., to two and a half per cent. The return published this evening shows that the amount of securities held by the Bank other than government funds has run down to £13,790,738, which is nearly £6,000,000 below the average of the last ten years, and that from this circumstance the reserve of notes and bul- lion in the banking department ts now nearly equal to fifty-five per cent of the lia bilities. Looking at the fact that when the rate was last reduced to two and one-half per cent the proportion of reserve to liabilities was only about forty-seven per cent, and thateven in July, 1867, when a reduction was made to two per cent, its amount was lessthan fifty-two per cent, it 18 evident there could have been no hesitation this morning io resolving on the downward movement. An unprecedented siuggishness of trade and enter- prise is prevalent, and as the cheapening of capital will enable our manufacturers to ship at lower terms than woula otherwise be possible, it is by this means we must look® for an extension of business, In proportion as the lowering of the rate answers it3 purpose, @ reaction will ensue from the merease of transactions, and nothing but good snould result to ali parties. But, unhappily, it would be vain to hope for so discreet a course of affairs. A large number of the public, while the rate remains at two and half, will enter into com- mitments for distant instalments on foreign loans or other en:erprises that may fall due when the charge is again at five per cent, and will then denounce the system of currency that permits any fluctuation in the terms at which advances are to be obtained. The reduction in the bank rate has been foliowed by a plete deciine in nearly ali descriptions of se- eur The Demands of Commerce—Free Trade or Protection. [From the London Post, August 17.) What can ve tne secret bond of ailinity between a Aggree of poiiticul freedom which most people woald be dis to consider unbounded license and the udter exclusion of commercial liberty? The exist- ence of such & connection 1s @ strange enigmh, and ret the same phenomena have appeared boih in the id World and the New. In the earlier days of the free trade movement in England, and indeed during the whole of its progress, chart ists strained every nerve to whenever they could muster streugth interrupted the public meetings of the free traders, even resorting to open violence when other measures were found inadequate for the pur- pose. In America it 18 the extreme radicals, or re- publicans, who are the chief promoters of protec- Von and the most inveterate enemies of free trade. Again, to give another illustration, there was a Meeting at the east end of London only the other day, the persons composing which, to judge from their speecnes and the resolutions that were passed, must have been equally protectionists and republicans, The meeting purported to be con- vened for the express object of denouncing tree trade and advocating @ return to protection, and the violent character of the incendiary harangues which were uttered would have done credit, or the reverse, according to dilferences of opinion, to the moat furious followers of Feargus O’Connor in the days when chartism, now supposed to have been long dead, was at its height, and furnished a text for political homilies from Mr. Carlyle. That meo who are for “no Church, no State, no nothing,” but what bas been termed ‘the sovereignty of the individual,” should insist upon pronibi- tory tariff and taxes on the necessaries of lite—in other words, the most oppressive of all saws—is certainly a very curious paradox. It is satisiactory to know, however, that a free trade movement 1s on foot in America, Which caunot fail, among 80 shrewd and intelligent @ people, to achieve the same decisive success in the end as that which comuenced thirty years ago in Engiaud and attained tue chief object tor securing which it had been in- augurated wittun len years after its initiation. And hece we may remark, in passing, @ very curious paralel suggests itself, The rise and progress of the free trade movement in England wus contempo- rajwous with the decline and jal of chartism or extreme radicatism, and it Isa curious subject for speculation whether a like phenomenon will be witnessed in the } World, At this juncture it may not be inopportune to tin- vite the attention of those who still seem unaware that protection in these times 1s an anachronism and an anomaly altogether out of date aud out of joint with modern institutions and ideas to the miscon- struction which has been put upon the dicta of cer- tain famous political economists touching the methods of production in new countries, (or it ia upon this misapprehension that the only remaining arguments of any weight or plausibility in favor of @ promib.tory policy have been based. When, for instance, Mr. Rae, Mr. John Stuart Mill and others urge that in & new country, adapved for particular industry old one, it may be expedient, for the pur- poses of establishing that species of production in the former, to exclude the wares coming from the latter, their proposition does not apply in any rea- like the United States, inion 88 an independens when compared with sonable sense to a countr} Although the American Power is, in years, but you England or France, sti!l in reality, and as the age of Its industries and manufactures, it entitied to be considered @ new country at all. proof of this. equally hold goo States and another. as between one because in no other country: the manuiactures and odd—indeed not possibly be repealed, in the abi and the charges incidental to impor tne freest trade, the .mportation of son, Ali Amerie indusire of the bat vent err going to slee iu We exac is technically called “repartimiento And all persons above the age of four- pose it, and in sufficient - equall; in ad rds not The very names of some of its principal States furnisnes Beudes, if the rule of protection were to hold good in favor of America as u new country relatively to tue countries of Europe, it must rt of tne United Upon thin principle @ new and partially unreciaimed territory just erected into @ State ought to have its iniant industries protected and fostered by the exclusion of the products of the older States of the Union, and the very idea of such “@ house divided against itself” is simply aosurd, But, (urther, it may easily be shown that taere 16 no country which needs protection leas than America, —at least among tne great Powers of the earth—ia the population so small In proportion to the extent of its vast resources, In other words, there i no nation in existence which possesses ali the elements of weaith and prosperity and the powers of production in 80 eminent a de- gree, and therefore none which requires so little the aid of artificial props to bolster up and stimulants to develop its commerce and manufactures.

(From tne Lonaon News, August 20.} A case of witchcraft in the Black Country would almost lead us to suppose that the people there are as superstitious as the London believers in messages from spirits. Ann Jones, the wife of a collier, receives divers sums from Eliza Southall in consideration of the husband of the latter getting well of a sickness. Ann Jones ts a wise woman; she mutters charms, shows 8 collection of familiar toads in @ botile and gives certain stuffs to her clients to place inan oven.

FRANCE. Napoleon’s Letter to the Army—British Opin- fon df the “One Man” Rule. {From the London Times, August 20.) In a letter addressed by the Emperor Napoleon to the French army, now in camp at Chalons, his Ma- jesty: expresses his disappointment that he is unable to spend the 15th of August in the midatof the “great military family,’’ and aunounces that ‘he has de- sired his son to take his place, and to distribute the rewards to the troqps.” We are told that the young Prince acquitted niumself of his task with success; that the soldiers were pleased with his ‘self-posses- gion and with his good seat in the saddie;’’ and, on the other hand, we learn from the order of the day of Generai Bourbaki, the commanding officer in the camp, that “the Prince Imperial had declarea hun- self well satisfied with the appearance of the troops atthe review.” Here we have, therefore, for the first time, this Prince, tittle more than thirteen years old, discharging one. certainly not of the most ardu- ous, but not the least important tunctions of royalty. ‘There 18 no reason why we should doubt that the lufe of the Emperor Napoleon may yet be spared many years—as many, at ali events, as may be ne- cessary to enable his son, in conformity with the provisions of the imperial constitution, to ascend the throne in the regular and lmmediate course of succession. * * * * * . * What seems to us worthy. of note in this otherwise commonplace occurrence is its recognition of the tact that as there isthe substance, so there is also the mere pageantry of royalty. There are solid in- trinsic qualities essential to the Office of a personal Tuler, and there are mere external forms easily ob- served even by @ sovereignwho “reigns but does not govern.” The founder of a dynasty is well aware how infinitely easier it 1s to bequeath his estate than iis genius and character to his posterity, He may humself exult in the consciousness of his ability to rule alone, but he cannot dismiss a misgiving as to his heir veing equal to the task of wiciding un- divided power; and if partnership in the government of the future sovereign unavoidable, it surel ought to be desirable that this partial abdication of authority snould be made in behalf of the nation ratuer than in favor of a Minister. A nation cannot serve two masters. It must either govern itself or obey the man whom the nation’s own choice or its necessity hag placed at its bead. Seventeen years ago France had loudly prociaimed her inability to control ner own destinies. She was frightened at herself—at her own shadow. She looked for some one, for any one, who couid save her from herself. She found the man she wanted; 4 man who Look all she had offer, who took more, per- haps, than she intended to give; a man who Ielt within him all the instincts, all the faculties of a ruler, and who carried his rule to the full extent of what, in his opinion, the exigencies of the situa- tion justifiea, ‘The Emperor Napoleon, however, did not impose himself as aGod Terminus on the French nation. He aspired to establish an unlimited but enlightened and indefinitely progressive govern- ment, He had a firm faith in himself, but no over- weening conceit about his own judgment. He not only never dreaded, but openly courted, tem- perate opposition. He accepted the advice, though not the control, of public opinion. The extreme caution and obvious reluctance with which he proceeded in the way of concessions, his deciara- ons that every step he took should be the last, and ought to be looked upon as the “crowning of the impertal edifice,” must be taken partly as the resuts of his own deliberate and by nO means sanguine disposition, but partly also a8 & proof of his deference to the opinion of a party by which his own worst forebodings were exaggerated, and for which imperialism was never suMiciently periai, Could the Emperor have reckoned on im- mortality, or had he been indifferent to the delu; which might come after nim, his trresolution might have nampered nim to the end of his reign, and largesses to the French nation might never have goue beyond such acts as the decrees of November, 1560, Or the ietter of January, 1863. But the Emperor had to think of nis son. Even in the quietest times, id with a power based on the most solid material and moral foundations, kings seldom look on Crown Princes without mistrust and misgiving. Independently of the disorders usually attendant upon @ regency—a contingency which the sre of every year tended to remove—the Emperor had to provide against the other far more provable contin- gency of the burden to which all the strength of his own mature age had not been more than sufficient falling upon the shoulders of a youth barely out of It was evident that Napoicon LV., if his minority. in the reguiar course of time he came to the throne, would find it the less difficult to govern France the more France haa been allowed to govern herself. Were the Emperor able, before the hour came for the final transfer of his authority, so to diminish the responsibility of that authority as to render its weight more tolerable, he might feel less uneasy a8 to ils effects on bis son’s inexperience.

Notwithstanding these fundamental principles the Continental jour- neys to Europe of the jays who takea the name and title of Minister for Foreign Affairs of Egypt, with the view of making efforts to obtain in favor of the latter a change of those treaties and to enter with the Powers into direct negotiations on this subject; the great care which he takes tn concealing from our representatives more than any one else the object of his mission, and his abstaining from all as- sociation with them, constitutegso many facts which infringe as much on the rights of the Sublime Porte as they are contrary to your obligations, which can no longer be tolerated, For it has become evident to the eyes of our august master that if the Powers, with whom respect for rights and treaties is an 1m- mutable principle, had shown tho least favorable disposition, the abolition of our treaties, their re- placement by others, the suppression, in a word, of the contents of the firmans which serve aa tho basis of the existence and continuance of. the actual ad- ministration of Egypt, was the aim which was sought to be attained.

As has been said above, and we Caunot repeat it too often, his Majesty the Sultan, our august Sovereign, animated by the liveliest solicitude for the welfare and pros- perity of Egypt, and desirous to see that province enjoy its privileges within their legitimate limits, can never consent to see the ties weakened which attach it to his empire. Placed as it ia under the principle of the safeguard of the integrity of the em- pire, it 18 impossible to conceive the reasons which can impose upon the administration of that country the obligation of dilapidating the public trea- sury for the purchase of tron-clad vessela and arms of all kinds. As the people can in no respect jag. support the burden of such expenses, his Majesty tue Sultan, who ia the legitimate sovereign of the country, cannot permit it. It 1s a truth everywhere recognized that luxury being not the cause but the elfect of civilization, true progress consists in the accomplishment of the reforms which produce that civilization. The just and enlightened mind of your Highness renders it superfluous for us to point out the disastrous con- sequences to which those expose themselves who, neglecting the fundamental basis, begin with objects which ought only to be their eflects. The aim of these frank and sincere explanations is to call the serious attention of your Highness to facts the continuance of which, a8 also @ persistence in the path followed, can be reconciled neither with the rightly understood interests of the imperial province, the good administration of which is confided to you, nor with the maintenance of the acknowledged rights of his imperial Majesty, which it is essential above all to preserve from all infri ment. We do not doubt that your High- ness, in your high wisdom, taking into serious con- sideration all the preceding observations, will see fit to desist from all that oversteps the limits of your privil and your Se oelgett aot from grati- tude for the great benefits of which you have been the object on the part of our august master, you will henceforward concentrate all your efforts ‘upon the development of the prosperity of Egypt and of the security of the lives and property of its inhabitants. In proportion as your High- ness confines yourself within the Innits of the conditions attached to your privileges the good will which our august master does not cease to teel toward you will extend and be redoubled. ‘These conditions, set forth at length in tue firmans above mentioned it were here superfuous to re- capitulate. As it would be impossibie for the Im- Perial government to desist from a single one of the provisions contained in these firmans it would be under the necessity, though with regret, of re- chrring to them whenever it should become a ques- tion of taking measures for restoring within their limits and repressing any contrary acts which might arise and for safeguarding acts and tradi- tious. Consequentiy, and oy order of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, our august master, I hegeby communicate to your Highness, without the least evasion and in all frankness, the real state of af- fairs and await a clear and Categorical reply offer- ing all necessary guarantees for the future, and which cannot be allowed to remain as a meal letter. YALL, The Khedive on the Subject of His European Tour. {Alexandria (august o. correspondence of Maita + Tim 3. His Highness the Khedive arrived in his dominions on his return from Europe at noon on the 28th ult., having made the run from Toulon to this port in his beautiful yacht, the Maharoussa, in three and a haif days. On the 20th the usual reception was held. In reply to the address from the Consular body his Highness expressed how fully he appreciated the marks of distinction which had been bestowed upon him by the principai Courts of Europe, and added that such attentions would greatly contribute towards rendering the relations between Egypt and the European Powers more cordial. To the commercial body his Highness made known that, his medical advisers considering that his stay in Europe had proved of sufficient duration for the full restoration of his health, he had avatied himself of that oppor- tunity for not prolonging. his absence from his dominions any longer. ia Highness further an- nounced his intention of giving ali possible protec tion to trade and to the development of the resources of the country. The news of the Khedive’s decision to return to Egypt having preceded his arrival by only six days it has been impossible at so short a notice to get up the iluminations on as grand a scale as is generally the case on such occasions, but everything was 80 simple and yet so tastefully arranged that, coupled ‘with the perfect calmness of the weather, the illu- minations during the whole of the three days which they lasted may be considered to have had a full suc- cess, Unfortunately his Highness, having been much fatigued by the 4a voyage, has been prevented from attending these festivities, but he sent his sons ana his harem instead, The carr containing the latter were broughams, with English drivers, as usual, and the veils of the ladies inside were so very thin that it was quite easy to discover that all that 1s said about the beauties in the harem is no mere imagination, but an actual fact. His Highness ieft for Tantah on the 31st ult, toreturn thanks for his safe return to Eeyot, and the same evening he ar- rived tn Cairo. His stay there, however, has been a very short one, he having returned to this city yes- terday afternoon. YACHTING. Adventurous Voynge in a Tiny Vessel. {From the Edinburg Scotsman, August 19.)

A World-Wide Conversation By Mewns of Electricity=Submarino Messnges. (From the London News, August 20. ‘The public is destined to hear much of. submarine telegraphy, during the next few months. The suc- laying of deep sea lines for long di ces being proved to be a mere question of capital, pro- jects are on foot which, if carried out, will bring the whole world the range of él 3 communication, and that within a very short time. Messages and from England and Bom! direct may be looked for in March or poe mext year; while the spring of 1871 will robably see Australia and China eoanected with rovides lon, Odchin from Bombay, us of the India line; is i# to run from thence to Eeisoay beaties ‘spanning ine dtidian Coean to 3 DH ean northern Australia, touching at Sumatra and Java aes ‘way. In anticepation of some such enterprise Dutca are completed for 7 rit already a land lines through umatra, ani arrangement bringing the whole of P ocaps aay iia into electric communication with Hong Kong. Again, Tasmania and the southwestern. portions of Australia are to have lines of their own, after communication has been established) with the northwestern ulviaion of that continent; and a recent giance at & map shows that every corner of this portion of the globe whieh 1s known. to commerce is now in- cluded in one comprehensive scheme. Nor will there be any great diMouilties tosurmount. The Brisbane government is poenng, lines to meet the cable at Cape Yor, the Anancial authorities at tne business centres of the different countries are giving it their strong support, while Post Office and otuer statistics prove the extent of, and neces- sity for communication between the various points, and between them all ana India, Europe and Amer- ica. The distance to be traversed is considerable, amounting to several thousands of miles of suoma- rine cable, and some hundreds of miles of land liness; but this 1s mau, up into sections, as from Bombay to Point de Gaile, 1,104 miles; from the latter to Penang, 1,416 miles, and from betes to Hong Kong, 1,606 miles. TI hout this line the soundings show the ocean bottom to be favor- able to cable laying, and the only deep water sec- tions will be between the extreme end of Java and Cape York and between Pen: and Point de Galle. ‘The route described has been only selected after due consideration, and after another scheme for con- necting the Australian colonies with Great Britain had been examined and rejected. This was by a combined land and sea system of telegraphs irom the frontier station at Rangoon, down the Malayan Peninsula to Singapore, and from thence through the Dutch possessions and by ie Floris Sea to Cape York. The objections to this were valid, and will be readily understood. There was, first, the incon- venlence of carrying important sections of the line through the dominion of a foreign Power; and, secondly, the character of the Floris Sea bottom, which is infested with coral, and would be fatal to cables. A coral bottom is necessarily irregular, and itis found by experience that a cable lald on it hangs in bights from one mass of rock to the other, that the coral builds over it, and if @ fault is developed prevents its being brought to the surface for repair. Coral seas are moreover full of live shells, which injure core when exposed, and the cables Jaid down for the Dutch overnment about Java have been already more or foes damaged by their means. For these suiticient reasons it was resolved to run deep sea lines, which will be—humanly speaking—safe from injury, and the conditions of making aud laying by the Teie- graph Construction Company, the expected tramo and probable tariff for communfcating to and from London and China and Australia will probably be laid before the public before many days. It is curious to mark how speedily one gigantic telegraphic enterprise of this kind begets another, and how closely the interests of the various lines are intertwined. The one described 1s of course supple- mental to the British Inaian Telegraph: and arising out of the latter is another cabie, the work of which will be all-important in facilitating communication with India, The Falmouth, Gibraltar ana Malta Telegraph completes the submarine com- munication, so that a message may be hereafter sent from London to Bombay almost without a repeat. This has been done on the French Atlantic me from Brest to Duxbury, a distance of 3,600 miles, and at the rate of from four to five words a migute; and though, even when the Fal- mouth and the British Indian ‘dre both open. there pill still be @ short span or land Imes through Egypt, It Is already thought possible to organize submarine substitutes for these, and sd to send and receive com- munications from India almost as quickly asa map can write. This would have been hopeless without the Falmouth line. The Anglo-Mediterranean Deep Sea Telegraph had already united Malta to Egypt; but before Indian messages reached the former place they would have had to traverse 2,000 miles of wires throagh France and Italy, and would be thus liable to the interruptions and delays which are insepar- able from teiegraphing through foreign countries when repetitions have to be made. To obviate this a cable will run first from Falmouth to Gibraltar, distance of 1,431 nautical miles, and then. from Gib- raltar to Malta, a distance of 1,025 miles, Thus the British Indtan cable runs from Suez to. Bombay, the Anglo-Mediterranean from Malta to Egypt and the Falmouth and Gibraltar from. England to Malta. All three companies are distinct, but have entered into arrangements for mutual help and protection—arrangements which will be partict- pated in by the cable to Australia, But these enter. prises are thrown into the shade—so far as length of cable is concerned—by one which is now engaging the attention of a committee sitting in New \ork, which aims at laying a telegraphic line from San Francisco to Japan, a distance of 8,000 miles. We have, say our cousins, the longest railway in the world, and we mean to have the longest tele- graphic cable as well: and 80 calculations have been made and estimates sent, and if the coim- mittee report favorably a prospectus will shortly appear. . Mother important project which has beenrecently brought before the public aims at laying cables between Cuba and Porto Rico, and from Havana to Porto Rico, Mexico and Panama, as well as between the West Indies and South America generally; while the International Mid-Channel Telegraph: to which Sir Samuel Canning and Captain et Barrow have been giving much atten- tion latterly, is at last in hand and will be working between Penzance and a telegraph ship stationed by the Admiralty between Scilly and Ushant, fifty-five miles distant, m a few months from this time. This last line will enable snips to have messages to and from every part of the world which has electric communication with England. Asthe government statistics show that 373,169 ves- sels entered and cleared with cargoes at porta in the United Kingdom in the year 1868, it 1s argued that the telegrams to and from underwriters, owners and consignees will be considerable, as weil as the ete traffic with distan: ports. Altogether submarine telegraphy seems destined to work many more of the changes wh'ch were scoffed at as visionary only three short years since. To tak with Hong Kong and Meibourne as easily as with Paris York, to have America and Tasmania speaking to each other through the ocean, and to have ships announcing their arrival or aking for final instructions while miles and miles away from shore, 1s all very wonder- ful. But the demand for telegraphic communicavion grows by what it ieeds on. Those at the helm of the great companies already at work appear to lend their powerful aid to ail enterprises having a fair romise of success, and up to @ certain point, which is far from being reached yet, it seems certain that the more cables there are the better for those now laid, These last dovetatl into each other, and pro- mote their common interest in a very striking way. Indeed, co-operation 18a leading feature in modern telegraphic enterprise, and as we have shown, most of the schemes being developed now are assoctated ones, and 80 seem to have tnferentiaily a guarantee of success. not only embraces Cey! pore.,, Starting itish, FOREIGN MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

Yewserday was a lively day among & certain: of our citizens—those who prefer 8 “ratoling mull” togsermon., There were two prize fights for their special welectation—one in the mont, i which twenty rounds were fought, and other im the afternoon op Mount Auburn, in there were eleven rounds. Both batties passed of without official molestation, being beyond the city limite and too formidable in their surrouns wo present an invitation for the interference weak country constabulary. ih were gotten up ag catchweight mills, without any par- ticular preliminary tri and a4 @ juence but few persons, perhaps @ couple of hundred in each case, had received sufficient notice of what was in prospect to give them a chance to witness this- “rare sport” on a Sabbath day. THES MOUNT AUBURN FIGHT took place between two and three o’clock in the’ afternoon near the Widows’ Home.. It was betwee! David. Sheehan, eighteen years, 130 pounds, aod Michael Keating, twenty-two years, 133 pounds. Doc. 1 Jim tds seconded Sheehan, and Dan Madden and Mike Mckiroy performed simt- lar ofice for Keating, The usual squared circle of ropes was formed, and around it clustered aboyt 160 persons from the city and about the same number attracted thither from the immediate vicinity. Denny Ennis was chosen referee. The pugilists stripped. themselves to the waist, and the spectators fixed their atuention closely upon the two men, who walked briskly up to the middle of the ring, toed the scratch and up their hands at each otuer for the FIGHT. Rovnp 1.—There:was cautious sparring and dodg- ing as the men circled round each other, each study- ag the other’s yorte and working the mauleys in the usual harmless by-play that precedes actual blows. Sheevan got.n the first stroke of the battle, cutting Keating’s left cheek with the knuckles of his right, Keating countered and then clinched. eth fibbing work. and then the iall—Keaung under. ROUND 2.—As Sheehan left his corner one of his seconds whispered something in his ear. It was a piece of advice, which he immediately accepted as ood by commencing heavy work on Keating’s ribs. hey came to haif arm blows early in the round, and while Keating managed to get in a few light taps on Sheehan's face, which only brought a spout of biood or two and did no harm, Sheehan worked at bis ribs ke a blacksmith, plugging him terribly. They then clinched and feii, side by side, both showing ova- siderable biood. ROUND 3,—No particular punishment; an early clinch and fall. ROUND 4.—Sheehan caught Keating's lower jaw with a terrible jeft-hander. ‘fhe blow stunped Keating for an instant, but did not knock him of his pins, for ne had too good a purchase ou his right heel, Shee- han attempted to follow up his advantage, but Keating clinched and went down to avoid the work, Kounp 5. They came up briskly, but both showed the lack of training in their quick, short breathing and the rapid pufting of their taces, Sheehan's ieft eye was in mourning and Keating was spitiing con- siderable blood. ‘They pawed the air very cau- tiously for a minute and dodged blows that were far short. At length they came to handsome work, when Keating caught Sheehan over the left eye with a fuil length blow that drove him back on the ropes, when they closed and went to earth. OUND 6,—Short, and of not much cuasequence, ‘The ouly biow of much force was one that Keating took in the mouti. Rounp 7.—Ihis was a lively turn at light blows. ‘They gave and took heartily at close iu-fghting, Sheehan working at the ribs and taking two of Keat- ing’s blows on his head. Keating was on lop when they went down, Kounb 8.—The men were slow in coming up. They ady much blown, particularly Keating. Shee! ‘8 face was bleeding im two places, his cheeks were much swollen and his lett eye was pull ing up. Keating's mouth was all out Of shape, as though full of hot mush, the lips looking a3 if @ hor. net's nest had been emptied apon them. They euded the round without much fighting, going down side bv side, like babes in the woods. ROUND 9.—This was the hardest round of the battle. Sheehan pustied the fight tuto Keating’s corner, giv- ing him left, right and left in the face. Keaung gathered himself, however, doubled his man over ar ropes and punched him severely before they went own. RouNnp 10 was a repetition of the ninth, Keatuuy going under in his own corner. Rounp 11,—This was the last of the fight. Up to this time Sheehan, aithough younger and lighcer, seemed to have the best of it. To be sure, his left eye was black and biue, and he bied ireely, but Keating's face was also beginning to look spongy, and every biow was telling, wiule his ribs showed the effect of weil directed blows. The round did not amount to much, until Sheehan went down, wiea & cry of foul was raised against Keating, 11 being al- be that he had struck his prostrate opponeat. We have neglected to state that in the ninth round and earlier in tue fight, Suechan’s friends had spoken of fouls by Keating—ouce that he siruck him while down, and in the other instance that He lad bitven him in the left shoulder. ut the foul was uot reaily claimed until the eleventh round. a formal claim being then made, the referee aecided it good, and declared Sheehan the winner.
