THE FRENCH CABLE.

The history of the laying of the cables)

acroes the bed of the Atlantic ig interesting and instructive, as much from the repeated and serious difficulties encotntered, as from the final success and commercial advantages achieved. In 1855 the firet attempt across the Gulf of St. Lawrence failed, and the cable had to be cut to save the vessel which convey- ed it trom England The second, in 1856, was successful, but the cable was lost three

times, and when ‘ . ! and even before the acclamation which hailed

its completion had died away, it suddenly ceaced to work. Five years more elapsed and when a new enterprise with a far more efficient material and machinery had succesfully, to ail appearances, accomplished its task, the cable broke without a moment's warning, Four ineffectual attempts were then made to raise it from’where it l.y buried §wo miles and a half in mid ocean, In 1866, the buoy which marked its grave was found, the end hauled up and lashed to tke steru of the Grea’ Eastern, and the ci-euit completed aloncside ef the other eable which that vessel had al- ready laid. A third time this vessel has happi'y realized the hopes reposed in her, and a third cable new soans the waste of waters between the Old World and the New, adding yet another marvel to the triumphs of science mu the 16th century ; and its xecomplishment i8 & matter of sincere congratulation to all nations, beth commercially and politically. ‘The difficulties in the way of the promoters of the French Line were neither few nor slizht, and their energy and carefulnesa wave fully corresponded. - Tuking advantage of every improvement of science and the results of practical experience, they have perfected a cable of superior construction, and at a much less cost than any previous enterprise, it hav ing been laid down for £92,000 in paid up shares,

This partreular scheme is by no means a new one. The idee of joining France to the coast of Am-rica was prop sed to the Emperer Napoleon us long aro as 1859,by Mr. William Howet:, of Liverpool, aud was tavorably entertained by him, and experiments were ordered and conducted by Professor Bobinet and others of the French Staff, At that time it was proposed that the line should take the rante of the Bay of Biscay to Portuzal, cross- isz frem Lisbon to Agores, thence to be can- tinued to the shores ot North America.

Although in many cases a patentee’s rights are equitably preserved to him by law for the reimbursement of a!) his care, trouble and ex-) pense, yet Telegray i Cables are not fairly in} that eategory. Deep sea lines bave been sutis- factoriiy laid down and worked for twenty years, and the manifest interest to the whole world in having a3 many means of national intercommuuication as possible, and as cheap and commodious @ can reasonably be con- structed witk a view to a fair return on their wutlay, i oo paruwm runs, that upp situ he- Comes not uly perrucivus, but reprehensible to the well being of the whole of society.

Ssockiwe Tracrpy 1n Lonpow—A shocking case of poisoning oecured in London a few |days since. A man named Duggan, with his | wife and six children, were found dead in a house in Smithfield. The father was a work- ing silversmith in the employment of Messre Chawner & Co, who have extensive premis- | Ses used as a manufactory and officesin Hosier jane, and with his family occupied an adjoin- ing house belonging to the firm, living rent free. He has been in this service about six or seven years, and is supposed to have come from Bristol. Latterly, however, he had fall- }en into illeheaith and had heen obliged on medica! advice to relinquish his employment, and with it the house he occupied uader his masiers, Whether or not that had preyed upon kis mind may now never be known.

FAILURE OF BLUDGEUN RULE IN POLAND,

—

The Kussian Goyerament adopted jn Poland the English policy in Ireland, and with very nearly the same resu!ts. The only difference

Jand has been worked out i: Poland in asingle generation. A report recentiy presented to the Czar, by General Fredericks. the military commandant jn Polond, states that the Rus- sifieation of that country has proved a com = failure. The Poles are more violeutly

ostile to Russia than ever befure, and the at- tempt to Ostracise their language and religion has only drawn therm more closely to both. The influence of the Cutholie clerzy was never 80 complete as it is at present. The extreme elass distinetious, that constituted such an eff-ctive barrier agaj st a thoroughly nation- al feeling, are fast disappearing in presence of s commen danger The nobility and the peasants are now un ‘ed as never before, and the whole people are animated by an un- queechable spirit of nationality, and of hatred to Rassia.

Even the plan of governing the country e2- elusively by Russians is working disastrously. The new officia!s are infinately more corrupt and inefficient than their Polieh predecessors, and tse administration of justice and the finances haye fallen into hopeless demoraliza- tion. The attempt to trausfer the landed property to Russians, has only frightened capital and prostrated the business interests of the country, without adding anythinz to the effective strength of Russia, Altogether the condition of the country is most miserable, and the tenure of Russian power is now more precarious than at any former period, The whole people impatie tly await the signal of European complications to fly to arms for the recovery of their lost :ationality.

The prison statistics afford a sad i)lustration of the extent of the Anglo-Irish Blodzeor system in Poland. No less than 140 000 Poles are in exile or w the mines. Of these, there

nine Catholic prelates and 218 priests. Paiayeeven priests have heen executed by eourtemartial. Two hundred more clerzy- menare serving various terms of imprisonment. Handreds of civiijaus lave been butchered by £0u"t-

RELEASE OF FATHER McMAHON.

We give below, says the Ottawa Citizen, the Minute of Council ordering the release of the Rev John McMahon, and the Report of ‘the Minister of Justice, on which it was founded. It will be seen by the latter docu- ment that the two reasons which moved the Government to release the convict are,— the impression prevailing amongst the Roman Catholies, because the acquittal of Lumsden, ‘and of the convicting jury being all Protes- |tants, that the prisoner had not had impartial ljustice administered to him and next and chiefest, regard for the good services to the country, of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy, who greatly desired Mr MeMahon’s release :

the undersigned is of opinion that it would be wee to make his au exceptiona | case, for two reasons, ViZ;

Ist That there were two clergymen tried fer the same eflence—one a Catholic and the other a Protestant The former was found guilty and latter acquitied

While the evidence against Lumaden showed }some favorable features which might warrant an

Now it 1 important not only that impartial justice should be sdwinwtered in fact, bu that the country shenld teel and believe that it hae been ae adunnistered, and it is especially advis- able that any contrary impression eheuld be re- weved from the minds of the Irish Roman Cathohes in Canada.

The second and principal reason, however, is that Her Majesty's Government and Canada owe a debt of gratitude to the whole body of the Roman Cathalic clergy in Canada, They are an- wearied in their exertions in the eause of loyalty and good order, they spared no paina to prevent the Bsyread of the Fenian organization through the Provinces, and it ia due to their u fluence and exhortations that this nefarious conspiracy made but little headway among us

Asa mark of the appreciation of the Govern- jinemt of their noble «forts and in order to meet the strongly expressed wishes of the Canadian Bishops, and of the distinguished prelate, the Archbishop of Halifax. as well as for the reason first: assigned, the undersigned has the honor to recommend that the remainder of the sentence of the prisoner be remitted, and that he be dis charged trom confinement.

Much interest is now manifested on both sides of the St. Lawrence with regard to the renewal of the reciprocity relations betweer the United States and the Domimion of Canada. It will be remembered that an official Canadian Commie- sion proceeded to Washington during the last session of Congress for the purpose of inducing our Government fo re-open negotiations on this subject. Congress at that time passed a resolu tien authorizing the Executive, through the Secretary of State, to couter with the Dominion Government ™ regard to the basia of a new Re- ciprecity Treaty, and it ia understood that a sub Committee of the Ways and Means will visit Ottawa this supimer tor the purpose of obtaining the accurate intormation uecessary to Congres- siona) action during the fall and winter session.

In comme cial circles on both sides of the line the opimen seems prevalent that a commercial reciproc'ty between Canada and the Statea would be in all respects desirable = As far ag the waterial Interest of beth parties are eeneerned there can be no serious difference of opinion ar tw the right policy to be pureued. Free com- wercial intercourse, if it can be established upon a strictly reciprocal and equitabie baxis, is just as desirable between Cauada and the United states oa it ie between the ceveral members of the latter, We want the cheap agricultural pro- ducts aud raw materials exported by our neigh- bors tor the cousumption of our skilled labour, and they want our easily accessible market for the ready disposal of their surplus commodities. Boston and New York are the natural markete of the whole regien lying upon our northern tragtiers and our Allanuie seaporte with the cogareti g lines of railroad, are also the cheapest medium tor aupplying the people of that regwon with foreign commodities. The Boston Cemmercigl Bulletin expresses the opiniow that the repeal ot the late reciprocity treaty was simply an absurd effort to foree the trade of a large portion of this continent out of is natural channels and the re cuit of this eff rt bas, of course, been injurioys to all the parties concerned init.

And if the truth were known, the officers commanding the volunteers are thetie seivea the greatest rogues in the lelard. By fol lowing a contraband trade; by ebeating the Gev- erament out of its just duties and by robbing their ceighbors on every side, they have emasaed fortunes; without this latter good luck they would have never risen to the positions which thes new held, There never was a truer says ing than thie: “ Set a regne tu eateh a rogue,” aod there never was uttered a sentiment nearer the truth than that these who suppose every body to be dishonest ere generally exceedingly cor- rupt themaeises, The officers know who the rascals are ‘They are their own countrymen, aud their own countrymen are well assured of the further fact that there are no greater scamps iu Cuba thao these sawe officers.
