Tax Yacsr I"r.ee-r or Guitar Bar-ra_iit.—The eleven principal yacht clubs of Great Britain coin- rise, as we learn from the ml of the , 081 beautiful vessels, and employ some 4400 of the lineet seamen in the world. These yachts possess an aggregate tonnage of_20,950, and carry I870 guns. lhe guns are principally of rum two to nine pcunders. All the yeehta are provided, also. with small arms of every description, end the crews, In most cases. are instructed in the use of them. ilhs cost of the elegant amusement of yachting is of course esermeus. The intrinsic value of the vesse alone isthree quarters of a million of pounds.- The annual amount of wages paid to the seamen ex £ 00.000, and the amount of outlay in provisions, clothing, and innumerable luxuries, is almost beyond the reach of credibility.

Aatearcins in 1-as Russian Si;itvics.—A considerable number of Americans have gone to St. Petersburg within the last few months, and ell have been well rccicved the moment their nationality was announced.

This is true of all officers of rank in the Russian army.

"be idea that an obstacle. hitherto deemed insurmountable, having been removed. and that a Communication by means of the Elc tric Tclcgruph once established, and in action, could, by any ibility, be abandoned, would have appea. so incredible, as to have amounted. in the opinion ofell, to an utter impossibility. Yet, so it is; and, though such is the fact, there is nothing either doing or contemplated even. to give us thc_bencIit of

the Electric Wire, now reposing in passive raits. \'c

security at the bottom of the St are well aware in common with ever one else that the

(project of uniting the Island of New- with Nova Scotitt. through the me- dium of the Islands of Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island, has been torn raril -—at all events—tthaudoned, but the To cgrap ic Com- munication ercctcd by the Company still re- mains. Now, what we wish to enquire into is, why some steps have not been taken to make

what has been done, available for commercial ,

and other purposes .1 There are, it seems to us. three modes of electing this desirable ob- ject; one, by means of private adventure; another. through the medium of the Govern- ment; nnd the third, by the combination of both. In the first case,a Joint S Company might be formed, who should put themselves in commu- nication with the Electric Telegraph Company‘

either at Newfoundland, New York. or wherever ‘

else the members of the Committee of snags- mcnt may happen to reside, and propose to them to be allowed to take the management of the line into their own hands. until the Compa- ny shall hnve come to the determination of sit or completing their original project, or of aban- doning it altogether. The terms and condi- tions of the agreement must depend, of course, upon circumstances, and which could only be settled between themselves. There can be no doubt but that the Company would willingl

Y accede to any fair proposal, which would have .

for its basis, the reservation of a lsr amount of capital alrea y expended; whic , unless some care taken of it. will, in the course of a few care, be irrctrievably lost to themselves and tile ublic. Secondly, the Government might me e the seine proposition on its own account; and thirdl , the Government might hold out to a Joint ‘tock Com ny, as an in- duceincut, that it would be wi ling to advance it proportionate share of the expense that must necessarily be entered into for putting the line ‘ proper working order, and s t e chance of being repaid with the Com ny, We are aware that this could notbe e ted until the assembling ofthe Legislature; but. what, in the mean time, is to hinder the hold- inga Public Meeting and appointing a Com- mittee to correspon with e Ilectric Tele- graph ompuny, and ascertain whether any and what agreement could come to with it for the use of the Submarine Cable and Wires, and whether—not the least important rt of the inquir —thc profits that might befairly anticipated’, were such, that would warrant either the Government, or it Joint Stock Com- psn in prosecuting the undertakin I We she] be most happy to hear the opinions of others on this important matter, and tender the use ofour columns for the pur se of pro- moting discussion, and eliciting in ormetion.

How many cars has my generous soil re- warded the toi of the industrious husbandmen, and yielded abundantly; a ceful home have I su plied to the weary wanderer; the embro- sia reexcs which sweep along my shores have brought health and hep ‘nose to many a droo ing invalid; the crysta streeins that spark c in every valley and meander throu h man a

ovc can almost vie with those at w ich A in

rank in Paradise; how men summers have lbecn clothed in beauty by t e kind hand of Heaven : and when stern winter seems to claim me for his own. embracing me in his icy arms, covering me with his snowy mantle and frees- in me with his frigid breath until one might ta e me for his daughter, even then I have enjoyment and blcssin to oler, yet still my heart is sad and bitter thoughts 0 press; a chill creeps through ’ searches every nerve; with ope defered I'm sick; a monstrous evil I deplore; intern rauce alas! the intempcrsncc of my sons, the intempcranoe of the strangers whom I've entertained have brought a curse. My daughters weep and their children sigh and look sad. (as becometh not merry-chil hood) because their fathers are drun rds, and the corn which I yielded them and which God intended should have fed them and made glad their hearts and their homes has been carried to the Wliielrey Slillsnd converted. not into breed. but into liquid fire, which trans- forms a once kind rent into a demon, clothes them in rage and rings starvation and bitter anguish to a once happy home. Long have I cherished hope and thought the happy time just at hand when alcoholic liquors should not a roach my shores. and when s an hiskcy Makers should be ashamed of their iniquitous emplo cut, and betekc themselves to some honorsb e and useful calling, but now my hope is weak and Iain dispirited. I tremble lest the curse of God will rest upon me for the sake of my inhabitants, and why! Listen 0 Heaven and be confounded 0 Earth for in acne have chosen men who love strong drink to frame their laws, one of whom is it Whiskey Maker and many of them fear not God neither regard man; now w t can I expect! what can my daughters and children expect from the men w 0 re‘ ed their pre ers and robbed them of their ri ht. But she I I despair ; God sitteth in the eevens: my sons are not all base, I have soiue noble and true hearted who will not turn aside the prayer of the week for the sake of their own a petite and worldly gain: so my true hearts philanthropic sons and daughters, broken hearted wives, tattered, starving, weeping, children ho on, Intel is God, for the cause of truth shal prevail.
