A Floating Electric Telegraph—Reporting Marine News from the Ocean to London Government Aid to the Mercantile Commu. nity. [From the London Globe—"vening—Dec, 3.) The establisnment of a serie Of loating ve.cl sob gtattons has long been considered a matter of na- Uonal Importance, aud it is an object to which many Scientiilc gentlemen bave given attention. There have been a number of ventions as to the peculiar construction of crait necessary for the purpose of Mamtaining @ communication py means of a sub- Iuarine telegraph cavie between mid-ocean and the land. The last scheme—that of the International Mid-Ocean Telegraph Company—is now tobe put upon its practical trial. We learn that the govern- Mint yencreay deei4es 26 grant iia company the joan of her Majesty’s stip Briek, Whica is to form tue first floating telegraph station. This will be moored sonie sixty Miles OUL at sea, Off Penzauce harbor. The Brisk, aluiough a tolerably good vessel, ia likely to have her seagoing qualities severely tested, as the spot whereon she will be quartered, named in the enarts “Admiraity Pateh,” is exposed to terrific Weather during the winter mon She is now being overhauled and fitted as a regular telegraph Btalion. her engines and telegraph machinery are to be supplemented with the latest improvenienta, tid Board of Directors having ordered everything to wake her complete for the service. Formeriy a Keueral ypinion prevailed against ordinary vessels riding out at angnor ii S Severe gale, owing to the atiendant danger. A number of inventors came for- Ward with different designs of shigs, all more or less strongly adverse to the employment of an Orde nary vessel, or teciinfeally speaking, those known to Possess “a line eutrance, © ace and a fat, broad floor,” as ocean telegraph stations; the forms of floating body favored by them cousisting generally im a huge square tron cistern rounding of at the corners into a Kind of buoy, which was said to add materially to its floating powers, at tue game time checking the action of the waves apon the whole structure, These constructions 1t proposed should be anchored from t! The Persian Guif and Auantic teleg: ever, demonstrated the jity for an ordinary sup to “hold on” to a telegraph cable during the hewht ofa southwest mousoon or ao Aulantic gale. ‘This has been accomplished in the Indian Seas and Atlauile Ocean, proving that a stip rides comforta- bly at anchor with p.euty of slack cable down, This beg evidenced on many occasions duriag the lay- ing of the Persian Gulf and atlantic cablés, has so far removed the prejudices as to ordivuary ships for leiegraplt stations that the proprietor of the Mid- Ocean telegraph Company, Captain Knapp Barrow, Jound litve dificuity ia securing the assistance of Captain Sherard Osborn, Sir Sainuel Canning, with Messrs. K. Sabine and Latimer Clark as engineers for wis seneme. These gentiemen have certified to te practicability of the scheme of Captain Barrow, The advantages waich the pubiic are to derive from a systeui of floating telegraph stations ai insignificant compared with the beuefits to be de- rived by the owners Of over 40,000 British vessels and the mercantile comnmunity, The Brisk is to be 4m eectrical communication with the Penzance Post Uilice, and a powertul sieamtug will act as her tender. She lies in the fair way of every homeward bound vessel, and to Indian, Australian and China clippers she can give thelr sailiag ordeia, thus say- ing an immense expeuse which they would neces- Sarily entail by cailing for the same at any port. A ship may report herself to the Brisk, and in twenty manures aflericards her arrival would be known at Ue offce of her owner in the city of Loudon, and Within an hour of her making tue telegraph station her destinauon can be altered at the pieasure of her owner, For such important orders as tuese we Holton Code must prove almost invaluable, By the end of next month the Brisx 19 to take up her post- tion, and so svon alterwards as possibie the teie- graph cable vo gud wil be laid.

ROME, English Report of a Sunday Scene iu St. Peter’s. A London evening journal of the 8d of December reports from Rome as follows:— On Adyent Sunday a magnificent ceremony took place in St. Peter's, The opening of the ecciesiasti- cal year plays an important parts in the Koman Aitual, and the Pope, alter mass in the Sistine on that day, carries the Host to the Pontine chapel and there leaves it on the Iugh aliar, This year the nutiber of bishops having aright to assistin the ceremony was 50 great thatit was transferred to St. Peter's. Tne Roman Patriarch of Oonstantinople oniciated at mass, which was celebrated at a porta- ble altar erected in front of the Confession of the Aposties, 48 no one but the Pope can officiate at the high altar, The Pope took his place on the throne at the end of tue apse. Afier mass, he received the consecrated Host, which he carried under # diag of silver brocade, supported by eight bishops. The procession was formed, the whole body of cardinals, bishops, patriarchs and abbots following im tie order of their consecration. The spectacle is described by those present as one of un- usual spicador, Mitred prelates from every country beneath the Sun Were gathered in St. Peter’s—Chal- deans, Coptics and Armenians mixing fraternally With the Latin bishops, and appearing as completely at home in the Sasilica as in their own far oif churches of Antioch, Ephesus or Trebizonde, and the long line of the procession had a most brilliant aristic effect. ‘rae ceremony concluded with the placing of the Host on the High Altay and the chanting of the Lita- nies, Jrise, THE SUEZ CANAL. Indian Cotton by the New Trausit to Enrope= A Coming Revolution in the Trade. Messrs, Ellison & Haywood, of Liverpool, in their deed, the entire action of the government at Wash- ington 1s considered in antagonism to its sympathies and interest as well as those of the people, but brought about through the menacing attitude of Spain. The news 18 regarded as bringing with it a practical ter- minatton of the insurrection, though it is not known that the energy of the authorities in sending troops tothe field has at all abated. Busmess men and others are, however, very confident, and manilest no alarm at the threatened destruction of the cane flelds, which they @cem impracticable to any great extent. From Santiago de Cuba we have the Spanish report of the fighting at Mogate, which, while as usual claiming a great victory. 19 most unsatisfactory in its details, ‘The account appears in the Bandera Espafiol of Santiago de Cuba, and is dated from Arroyo Guerra, Noyember 22. It states that two brilliant actions had been fought on the 20th and 2ist, which proved fatal to the insurrection. Nothing further is mentioned of the second day's operations. The first is described as follows:— Colonel Camaro had been encamped at Santa Rita, on the bank of the Rio Grande. He had expected resistance at this river, but met with none. At an early hour on the ‘morning of the 20th he left his camp with a column of infantry, @ company of engineers and a mounted battery, numbering in all 600 men. At haif-past ten o’clock he came upon the pickets of tue insurgents on some table land which commands the Arroyo Guerra. Here the Cubans had determined to Maxe an obstinate resistance, and had accumulated all tho means of defence which their abilities aud resources offered. They had constructed a formidable parapet With w& Josse and chevenc da The pickets fred and renred, and soon after the troops advanced to the works ana the dring be- came yoneral. The artillery being brought up and placed in pustton, twenty-six shots were ured, Which compelled tu? Mmsurgents to abandon their position, Following thm @ reserve force attacked the loft of the Spaniards, but Were routed by a bayo- net charge, and, as says the account, “they were hunted like wild beasts for moré than an hour.” In their camp forty dead bodies were found. ‘The fact that nothing is said of the fAghting on the secend day, and it being known that the insurgents hold a pumber of positions in the vicinity, lead to the con- clusion that a different result fotlowed the opera- tions of that day, Fighting !s reported, 19 the mountain vass near Trinidad. A column ot 246 meni, says the Zmparciat of the Sth, went out tm search of the insurgents, moving in @ circle, and for a long time finding none. On their return, near Cangrejo, they heard gring hear at hand and @ reconnoitrmg party was sent out. It was discovered that ths ingargents were in two positions on elther S.qe of a small valley, the ound of which had been filled with stakes, ight of the party got separated from the others and got between the two flres and two of them were kuled. The column advanced and took the positions, in which were found cvoins enough for 500 men. Two Wooden cannon ‘were found, one of which bad burst and the other was useless. The ground was saturated ‘vith blood, but no killed or wounded were fouud, aey having been carried off by the insurgents. “me same paper in another issue states that a column which had gone out came onto a party who were trying to burn a barn attached to tie residence “‘Lleonco.” They fed and the troops fol- lowed. On arriving at Guaravo tt was found that a sentinel stationed there had neglected his duty. The captain commanding the column reprimanded him, wuen he raised nis piece and shot himdeal, The man Was arrested and the column commenced its return, Arrived near the city it was challenged by the outpost, to which the prisoner returned, “Viva Cuba Libro?) and was immediately Killed’ by the soldiers. The inside party opened fire, and the re- sult would have been serious but for thé coolness of tue commanding officer, WUo simceeded in making himself Known. Rhys The Voz dé Cuba publishes a r°#.1é of the casnal- ties in the Cinco Villas duriag the month of Novem- ber, ‘There were, according to this, 161 iasurgents killed, auiong them one important chief. Masy of those wounded had afterwards died in the hospital; 131 had presented themseives for pardon; 482 horses, many arms and large quantities of provisions and supplies were captured. The Spanish loss ts placed at five nien killed, two officers and fifteen men wounded, and fitteen horses killed or wounded.

By the steamer Columbia was brought here for circulation, but seized by the government, a printed document signed by the Republican Commitiee in New York. Tue papers here publish extracts from it. By the Columbia also came ietters to many Cubans signed by General Domingo Golcuria, asking for money to support the insurrection and requesting the recipients to send their answers under cover to the American Consul at Nassau, who will forward them. Many of these have been given to the Captain General, in order to show the loyalty of those receiv- ing them. lt is probable, however, that they were quite a8 much influenced by fear that this mail had been tampered with. In commenting on this the Diario says:—“The United States government can- not and will not permit one of its consular agents to convert himself into an iusirument of the insurgent circular to hand by the Siberia at this port, make the following remarks as to shipments of Indian cot- ton coming by way of the Suez Canal:— Just now American cotton 13 relatively dearer than Surats, the margin between miadling uplaud aud fair Dholerah being about three pence per pound, Two months hence Ws snould not be surprised to sce thls margin Feauced £0 fwo pence or less, either by a fallin Amertcan or arise in Dholierab, or a combi- nation of both movements, Early in the new year good Surats will become very scarce.

Is it reason- ale to Suppose that mercoants wiil hurry their cot- ton forward by an expensive ronte to meet the com- belition of the cream of the American crop?

Prior to the re- demption of this bond [had an interview with John- son at an ofiice he had taken at No. 9 Broad street, Ikuow Jerome Bradiey, On the afternoon of the day of the first redemtion I went to Johnson's oMce, No. 9 Broad street, at his request, to 1actiitate him In ralsing some temporary money on good securties in consequence of an agreement with his (Mr. Bry- ant's) counsel that Johnson wouli redeem the rest, Bradiey was there, He was pointed out to me, Jchn- Son ana I discussed the manner and time of the taking up of these bonds. Bradley was in the room. On that day some conversation took place and Johnson inti- mated to me that Clark, who had been introduced to him, was not in the city at present, and that Brad- ley did all Clarke’s business, was the gentleman whom he nad just been cousulting, had large means, that he had settled this matter so far by his means, and thas he expected to take up the other bonds 1m- Mediately pending the absence of Mr. Clarke. This was the day of the reaemption of the $16,0U0. I think it was the next day I went to demand this settlement again. 1 overheard a conversation in Which Johnson urged that Bradiey should raise this money as the parties could not walt, and urged that some money should be raiged that day. Johnson came in the roomeand said that ail that could be Taised that day was $6,000, Which he paid and took Up one bond. "I saw Bradley go once or twice into Johnson’s office after this, I saw Bradley and John- son in a drinking saioon in Wall street. and Johnson said he had made ail his arrangements with Bradiey.

Morrison & Co.'s, Broadway. Mr. John H. Anthon appeared for the prosecution and ex-Judge Stuart for Johnson. The evidence of Johnson, if reliable, and also that of Mr, Bryant, very much narrows down the perplexing points of this hitherto inysterious case, and brings home the guilty posses- sion very clearly to Bradley. The next development will be the examination in Bradley's case, which is fixed for Monday before Judge Dowling. The de- fence for Johnson 1s not yet closed, and an adjourn- ment took place yesterday until Saturday morning, at ten o’clock, Mr, Johnson gald:—About the 5th of October Mr. Jerome Bradley came to the office of Mr. Funk- hauser, where I was employed as ® bookkeeper, Mr. Bradley asked me if [ could not negotiate a loan for a length of time on United States bonds.

He said he could if the bonds were correct and proper, He sai that it would take a few days, as it was large amount of money to raise, About the 10th or 11th of October Mr. Hand said he bad made all his arrangements and that if I would bring the bonds in he would giye me the money. I saw Mr. Bradley the same day. It was either the 10th or 11th, J am not sure which, and told him I could get the money if he would give me the security. Mr. Bradley asked me where I was going to get the money from. I said from John 1. Hand, of No.7 Nassan street.

He wanted it in bills; he did not want any checks. {told him I would see Mr, Hand; it would probably take two or three hours, Bradley sald, “I can’t walt so long. I have an important engagement, and Mr. Clarke will band you the security. If I don’t get back in time hand the money to Clarke,” I took the securities—three $5,009 bonds—and handed them to Mr. Hand, Mr. Hand sald, “Call in in about two hours and [ll haye the money for you.” ‘This was abont half-past two in the afte,..0° When Igot the money, Idid not see Bradley, and there- fore gave the money to Clarke, according to Brad- ley’s direction.

City OF MExIco, Noy. 28, 1869, Mr, Seward and party left Quer¢taro on the 11th and arrived safely in this city on the 16th, at half- past three o'clock. He was met some distance from the capital In the village of Ouantitian by a party of American gentlemen, ‘Two leagues out he was received by sinisters Lerdo de Tejada and Matias Romero, At the city gate of Tlalpan he was met by President Juarez and wife and Milas Soledad Juarez, who accompanied the party to the house which had been prepared for his sojourn here. The arty consists of W. H. Seward, Mr. and Mrs, Frede eriok Seward, Mr, Abijah Fitch and Colonel Albert. 8. Evans. Mr. Seward seems to have endured Mexican travelling very weil, and it is said he will visit Cone tral America before returning to the United States. ‘The utmost precautions had been taken to make Mr. Seward’s journey a safe one by supplying ample guards, most of which, however, had orders, it is said, that they should conceal themselves when hig conveyance was passing, in order not to give any idea that such @ force of troops was necessary, It is rather a significant fact, however, that the mai} going each way was robbed on the road the next day after the party passed over it, ‘Yesterday morning the party drove out to Chapul- lepec, to roam through the ancient cypress grove of Montezuma and enjoy the maguiticent view of Mexia co and 18 surroundings.

President Juared presided, About 400 guests were present, Many Americans and Europeans were among the number. ‘The first speech was by President Juarez, wha paid a bigh tribute to the triendsnip of the govern» ment of tae United States and the people of that country. He drewa parallel between the institu. uons of the two countries, and tnsisted that there were philosophical reasons why the two republicg were nearer to each other than to any other nation, He was much applauded by the Americans present, and concluded his speech by offering the toast— “Ulysses Grant, President of the United Stateg of the North.” To this speech Mr. Nelson, our Minis ter, responaed, concluding with a compliment to Mexico, Varlous other speeches were made, among them one by Mr. Lerdo, Minister of Relaciones, which contained allusions requirmg a response from Mr. Seward. Mr, Seward’s speech, which was interpreted by Mr. Iglesias, Minis.er of Justice, was as follows:— PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF MEXICO AND GEN+ TLS, In au assembly where I am surrounded by for hondred American patriots and statesmen the ti!
