“THE UNION OF THE STATES AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATES.”
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, 1858.
Speak the Truth Without Fear.
He who has the truth and keeps it.
Keeps what not to him belongs—
Bur. performs a selfish action.
That his fellow mortal wrongs.
He who hears the truth and places
La high promptings under bars,
Loud may bosst of all that’s manly,
But can never be a man.
* * * f * * *
Bold in speech, and bold in action,
Be forever!- Time will test,
Os the free soul, and and the slavish
Which fulfills life’s mission best.
Be thou like the nob'e ancient
Scorn the threat tha* bids thee fear;
Speak!—no mailer what betide thee;
Let them strike, but make them hear.
Be thou like the first Apostles—
Be thou like heroic Paul;
If a free thought expression,
Speak it boidly—speak it all!
Face thine enemies—accusers;
Scorn the prison, rack, or rod;
And, jf thou hast truth to utter,
Speak, and leave the rest to God.
W omnn.
Affection’s tear, how bright it seems
1 n woman’s tender eye.
When trembling in the angel gleams
That to the loved on* fly.
Proud man, with nil his boasted sense
And reason, n*ver knows
Th* ter-ling holv and intense,
That iu her pure lieait glows.
Ten thousand things will l*ad him far
From those he ought io 1. ve,
But woman is & eliai g*!*?* star
That ever beams above.
Her fond, brave heart heas hopefully
Amid ihe decreet el om.
And in i: fl >v\er.~ot sympathy,
In I'.idfie?? beamy bloom.
Her love will stand both time and tide
And cold rimlortune’.- blast,
And through i oth poverty and pride
’Twill burn on tothciast.
And in the closing scene < f 1 fe,
W r hen death’s dark curtains fail,
A si:-tcr, tin ther, or a wife,
Is seen, heard, last of all
A PROCLAMATION.
By Joseph E. Brown, Gov. of Georgia.
WHEREAS, iht- ot this S afe, on
the 24 ii and iv ol D -ennber, 1832, passed an aci en
litleil ‘-An A- ( more t-lfei tn dly io secure (he s. 1-
vency ot .-ill ihe banki e; iosiitiiti"iis in tliisSta e,’
ihe preamble if which act is in these words
■‘Whereas, the enormous amount ol banking capi
tal chartered by the laws ot this Suite, and her cir
culating currency being composed almost entirely
of the bills of her own batiks; and whereas, the
-afeiy and best interest hf our Citizens require t fiat
the true condition and solvency oi each bank or in
corporate company, exercising banking privileges,
should he l.nown to the community , so as to guard
the great body of the per,pie from receiving a de
preciated or doubtful paper, and lor remedy where
of.” The first and second sections then direct how
the returns of each incorporate bank in this State
are to be made, and the penalty tor a failure to
make such returns is prescribed in the third sec
tion, which is in these words, “Should the presi
dent and directors ol any one or more of the afore
said banks, fail to comply with the spirit and true
meaning ot th s act, it shall be the duty of his Ex
cellency the Governor, tor the time being, to notify
tile Treasurer of this State, and the president and
directors of the Central Bank, of said delinquent
bank or bank , whereupon it shall not be lawful to
receive the bills of airy such delinquent bank or
banks, in payment of any debt due the Stale of
Georgia, or the Genital Bank, until the President
and Directors of such delinquent bank or banks,
shall have made such returns as ate required by
this act.” And the fourth section declares that,
“It shall be the duty of his Excellency the Gover
nor, for the time being, to publish tire name of
batiks, which may fail to comply with all the re
quisition of this act, in all the newspapers printed
in Miiledgeville, as often as he may think expedi
ent lor the public good.”
And when as the second section of an act as
sented to tire 22d day of December, 1843, entitled
An Act amendatory of the act providing for the
publication ot the Bank Reports,’ is in these wo’ ds,
“The bills of any bank tailing to publish its return
as aforesaid, within thirty days after making the
same, shall not he received in payment of Taxts,
or at the Treasury of the Stale.'’
And whereas, the act approved 21st February,
1860, entitled “An Act to change, point out and
regulate the manner in which the returns of the
several banking institutions of this State shall here
after be made,” enaos as follows, to-wdt:
Section Ist. “Be it enacted, That after the pas
sage of ihis act, his Excellency the Governor ot
the State shall twice in each and every year re-
I quire, by public advertisement for at least two
weeks, in a gazette primed at the seat of Govern
ment, each and every hank and banking insiiru
lion in this State to make a just and true return
I under the oaths or affirmation of its President and
| Cashier, of the state awl condition ofsuch bank or
banking iustiiutinn, with the names of its Presi
dent and Directors, and a list of its stockholders, on
the day of the regular weekly meeting of the Pres
ident and Directors thereof, next preceding the
date of such requisition by the Governor; and it
-hall he the duty of each arid every bank or bank
ing institut ou, within thirty dnysafter thedaie of
such call by the Governor , and under t he penally
now prescribed by law for a failure to make re
turns,, to mak,- and transmit to the Governor such
return so required iu lieu and stead of the return
heretofore rrquired.”
Section 2nd. “In the respective returns required
by t e preceding section, the good, b and and doubt
ful debts of said batik or banking institution, re
spectively, shall be set form as now required by
1 w. ’
Section 2d. “When any bank or barking insti
tution shall make the.return required by this ac’,
the same shall he published by such corporation
within the iu-e. undir the penalties, and in ihe
maimer presciibed uy existiim laws, publishing the
1 list ol stockho dersohce a year only.”
And whereas, in October lasi, must of the banks
! of this State, in violation oi their con-tacts wuh the
. people and in violation of (heir charters, suspend
ed sp cie payments, and refused to comply with
their solemn engagements to redeem their btl's in
specie on demand or presentation, thereby subject
■ mg themselves, under exi-ning laws, to judicial
l proceedings to be instituted by order ot the Gov
ernor, on due proof thereof, to the end that their
’ charters might be declared as forfeited and anuuil
. ed.
! And whereas, the legislature of this State, for
i the purpose of relieving those suspended banks
i which had subjected themselves to the penalities
of the ait of 1840, from the hpavy penalties they
* had incurred, and from die forfeiture of their char
i ters, and for the purpose of prohibiting theteafier
i the usurious practices of all or any of the banks of
| this State—as well the specie paying as the sus
pended—and for the purpose ot amending the law
sos bank returns so as to required bank officers the
guaranty of an oath that these practices are not
mdu ged in, passed an acton the 22nd day of De
cember, 1857, entitled “an Act to provide against
the forfeiture of the several Bank. Charters in this
l State on account of non-specie payment fur a given
time, and for other purposes therein named;” the
J Bth, 9lh, 10 th and 1 Ith sections winch are covered
by the latter clause of its caption, being subject in
heir binding torce to no limitation as to time, and
are in the words following to-wit:
“Sec. VIII. Be it farther enacted, That no bank,
\ nor bank agency, by itself (its) officers or agents,
shall either directly or indirectly loan money on
any note, bill, draft or contract of tiny sort, verbal
or written, at a greater rate of interest than at the
rates of seven per cent, per annum, and only at
that rate fora l< nger or shorter time; and all notes
bills, drafts and contracts of every sort whatever,
on wich a greater rale of inieresi is reserved or
exacled and received or bargained for, are hereby
and -dared to be utterly void and of no effect, and
irrecoverable in law. ’
“Sec. IX. And be it further enacted, That no
bank nor bank agency shall, by itself, its officers,
or agents, discount or purchase notes, papers, or
evidences of debt, made for a valuable considera
tion, or a good consideration, between the parties
thereto, at a greater discount than at the rate of
seven per centum per annum, and that all such
notes, papets and evidences of debt, discounted or
purchased in violation of this Act, shall from the
time of such purchase, become utterly null and
void and irrecoverable in law.”
“Sec. X. That no bank or bank agency, by itself,
its officers, or agents, shall either directly or in
directly sell any kind of exchange, except sight
checks, nor exact, demand, ask or receive for ex
change in or out of this State, or any citizen ot
this State, a greater premium than one per centum
on the amount of exchange sold, when the bills
of the bank from which the exchange is sought to
be obtained, are presented at .its counter in pay
ment of said exchange, and for the violation ol
this section of this Act, the person paying the pre
mium, hi agent or attorney may, and he is here
by authorized to recover three times the amount
ot the excess by a summary proceeding, before a
Justice of the Peace, the Inferior or Superior;
Court, as the one or the other Court, may have
jurisdiction, and on which judgement shall be ren
dered at the first term ot the Court, unless the
principles of justice shall require n postponement
tor one term, and no longer; amt in which caeethc
officer or agent who received ‘tie premium shait
appear, without any othet process than the ser
vice of the writ, and give evid -nee in the case
and if he fiil to appear, the affidavit or evidence
of the plaintiff shall be received in proof of the
amount demanded and the suit shall lie against
either the batik whose agent loaned the money, or
against the agent, and in either event, the prop
erty of the bank shall be subject to the payment of
the judgement: Provided, That nothing herein
contained shall have any reference to f'reign ex
change, and provided further, the person applying 1
for the exchange shall, if requited, make oath that
it is not to resell as exchange. 1 ’
“Sec. XI The affidavit of non officers to their
annual and semi-annual resorts shall in all cases
state that the bank of which ‘hey are officers has
by by itself itsofficers, or agents, in any particular
violated the provisions of this Act.”
Which said'last mentioned section of said act
engrafts another section upon the law ot bank re
turns, as it existed when this act was passed ; and
as the said eleventh seed on relates to the same sub
ject matter —that of bank returns—it is to be con
strued with, and in reference to all previous legis
lations then in force on that subject, by a well
known rule of construction, that tatutes in pari
materia, -ire to be construed together as but one
law. Wherefore, a bank tailing to comply wiih
-the spirit and true meaning of said act.” incurs
the penalties prescribed in case of a delinquent
batik.
And whereas, on the first day of June last, I is
sued my proclamation \vhirh was published as di
rected by the statute, requiring the several banks
in this State to make their returns as required by
law and to comply with the provisions ot the said
eleventh section of the said act of 1857 ; and where
as, more than thiriy days have eiapsi and ,-ince said
call was made, as required by law, upon said
banks; and whereas.

The Exchange Bank of the State of Georgia,

The Mecanic’s Bank, at Augusta,
have wholly neglected and refused to make their
returns as required by Ihe positive mandate of the
statute of 1857, (the benefits of which in the pro
tection of their charters from forfeiture have been
realized by such of the above mentioned banks as
were lately in a state of suspension.) and have
utterly disregarded the will of the legislature, set
themselve- above the authority of the law, and
stand in open violation of its commands:
I do, therefore issue this my Proclamation, pub
lishing as directed by the statute, the names of
the before mentioned delinquent banks. And Ido
hereoy notify the 7 reasury of this State of said
delinquent hanks; and I do moreover proclaim
and make known that the bills of said delinquent
hanks will not be received at the Treasury ot this
State in payment of anv debt due the State of

The United States and Cuba-
The London Times oi Jn'y 7, received by the
North Star, concludes an article about Spain and
the slave ‘radeas fnl'owa:’
Lnrd Malesbury has been protesting in terms
forcible indeed,’ yet warranted bv the disgraceful
facts, aaainst the manner in which Spain has vio
lated tier most solemn obligations as to the unpor
tatfon of slat es into Cuba. Upon this Spanish
pride has taken fire. Spam is not proud enough
to take offence at the impiita ion of it. E ery
one who lias Io ked into the question of the slave
trade at all, knows well that for the last twenty
v-ars and more, Cuha, under the protection of the
Spam-h flay has been the mainstay and prop of
the syst in. There has been no direct importation
of slaves into the United States during that time.—
In the Brazils the traffic has virtually ceased. In
Cuba alone it is carried out in full viyor. There
was but one chance of dealing sueces-fully with
the traffic, and that was that the local government
should interfere to suppress “it. All our exertions
at sea could have little effect beyond running up
the rate of insurance. Now, every effmt that has
been made to p-ocure orders to this effect—real,
not nominal orders—has proved fniitless. The
time lias arrived when we are called upon to re
view our policy in this matter. We will not fol
low ti e example ot the idle braggarts at Madrid,
and prattle about visionary invasions. Whv, even
if we had the will, should we be at the trouble of
applying direct pressure to Spain ? Thus much is
clear —that it Lord Malmesbury were this day to
give Mr. Dallas the faintest hint that England would
stand neutral in the matter, Cuba in three months
time would be a State of the North American
Union.
Let us look this question boldly in the face.—
What interest has England in the (integrity of the
colonial dominions ol Spain ? What is it to us if
Cuba be to-morrow ,an American in place of a
Spanish possession 7 Our only interest in the
question for a long time past has been a moral, noi
a material one. Nay, our malerial interests have
been in direct opposition to that line of policy
which we have pursued on the groundsof humani
ty. Cuba, in the hands of American citizens,
would be a much more productive nia ket than a
present. Our manufacturers and merchants could
buy and sell more with American than with Span
ish Cuba.
If it is to remain.a slave-importing country, we
had as lief, nay rather, that it should pass into
American hands. Patience and forbearance have
been tried out, and the time has fairiy arrived when
*ve may consider if we should not he playing our
own game more wisely by standing still while the
Cabinet of Washington carried out the long cher
shed designs of the American people upon the
Island of Cuba. It is not impossible that the States
would be willing to come to an understanding with
us, that if Cuba passed quietly into their posses
sion, our wishes with regard to the further impor
at ion of slaves into the island would not be disre
garded.
What is Spain to us that we should interfere
further to protect her c lonial possessions? The
only arguments which we are disposed to consider,
ifter the treatment we have met with from sue
cessive Cabinets at Madrid, are those which apply
o our own interest und well-being. Looking at
he question from this point of view, two argu
ments might be urged—there is probably no great
veight in either. It might be said, in the first
place, that it would be short-sighted policy m us
o stimulate the progress of the United States in
veaith and power, for the time may come when
hev may prove formidable antagonists to our
selves. This is but a paltry policy, after all, for
whatever we may do, the vast confederation on the
■ther side of the Atlantic will go on in
•trength and extent ofdomain. We do not look
grudgingly on this progress; on the con'rary, it
sthe best thing that can be wished tor this conn
iry. that the States should be a prosperous and
i growing power. If the statesmen who guide
the destinies of the Confederation have but the
forbearance to abst-tin from violating public law
and the cannons of pu lie morality, God speed their
work ! But to us in any case, what can it signify
-vheiher they conquer a province from the desert,
nr from the Guifot Mexico? As long as we retain
our naval pover,they will not interfere with us;
utd that once gone, thepresence or absence of
Cuba io the scale would signify but little indeed
It might be said, in the second p ace, that it
would be unwise for us to stand still, as lookers
on, while Spain was weakened by the loss of her
colonial poi-sessi ns, from considerations of Euro
pean policy. The Pyrenees are not higher than
they were in the days of Louis XiV. and ot Napo
leon Bonaparte. Here, again the argument does
not appear to have any considerable weight. Spain
derives no substantial strength from her colonies
which would help her to resist ar invader; and, if
she did, what is that to us? We know the sacri
fices we made for the preservation of Spanish mon
archy in the first years of the present century ;
and what has been our reward? What advantage
to the extern of one shiliiog.orjjthe faintest element
■>f power, have we derived from the Spanish
alii lice?” We call point to a long Ifot of un
satisfied claims, of unpaid debt, of ob!it:ati"n*
disregarded, and of viola ed ! aitli ; but of In lp,
when we need'd htlp, or of emu on gratitude lor
serv c -s .A'the most v ital importance, there has not
been one title, let us at length consider this
question on its own merits. Is it possible that, v, ith
reference to English views and feelinvs, Cuba could
be in worse hands than it is at present?
England speech of Mr. Dal (as.
The 82d anniversary of American Independence was
celebrated in London by a banquet, attended by about isd
American gentlemen residing;in London. The room was
decorated by the star spangled banner and other appropri
ate emblems. The portraits ol Gen’l. and Lady Washing
ton hung over the Presidents chair—also a fine likeness of
Qu-en Victoria, lent by her rnaj'-eiy for the occasion. In
re-ponse to a toast, Mr. Dallas made the following ad
dress.
Mr. Chairman and fellow-citizens, I have prom
ised myself, in consequence of continued ili health
for some time past, to abstain from anything so
exciting as public speaking; but it is unlortunat -
ly the 4 h of July (laughter and cheers), and I find
it impossible to remain silent on such a day alter
yon have received the mention of my humble name
so kindly and so cordially. A few years ago it
would have been discourteous and intrusive had
one or mure American citizens ventured upon
the celebration of the 4th of July, 1776, in the great
city of London. The old wounds were still fresh,
old feelings still survived, and the citizens of the
United Slatea who were here had the good taste
as well as the forbearauce not to do that which
might have been misconstrucied so as to be dis
agreeable to those among whom they were resid
ing.
But now, gentlemen, we feel much more at ease.
The principles of the American Revolution have
gone on conquering and to conquer. (Cheers.) —
They have received the approbation, cordially but
certainly, ot all the w ise and good in England as
well as in the United States. They have become
perfectly well understood—they have beaten down
the impressions of hostility which, being misunder
stood, they originally created. The principles of
the American Revolution are acceptable here as
they are at home. (Cheers.) The men of our
heroic days—our Washingtons, our Jeffersons,
our Madisons, and our heroes in the battlefield,
are known now in England almost as well as they
are in the United States, and are honored as
much here as ttie.e. (Cheers.) The progress,
then, of the principles of the Revolution of the
Uni'ed States has been “Hiking, and has produced
that to which to which I have already adverted
the propriety of our meeting to celebrate the origin
of those principles in London as well as elsewhere.
(Hear, hear )
Do no’ for a moment suppose that I am avail
ing myself of a detached part of the toast just given
in order to draw the conclusion that the recogni
tion of those principles has been bn uhr about iri
any degree by tiie diplomacy of the United Slates.
(Hear, and a laugh.) The truth is—and you are,
perhaps, r-.ot aware of the fact—that we have no
American diplomacy. (A laugh.) In England
and on the continent diplomacy is a lifelong career.
Wiih us it is nothing of the soft. American diplo
macy, compared to European diplomacy, mav be
likened tot e militiatis contrasted with the regu
lar army. (Laughter.) To be sure,in the United
States, from the outset, we have always had a
part ably for the militia. (Hear, hear.) Our first
military achievements were gained by men among
whom were some of the rawest possible militia.
(.Hear, and a laugh.) And it has so happened,
probably by aeci ent, that our militia has over and
o.i-r again proved equal to the best regulars of
Europe. (Cheers)
it s in that way, perhaps, that the diplomacy of
the United States has been abie !o do something
towards giving expansion and popularity to the
principles of the American resolution. Although
our Ministers abroad;, have been drawn from the
racks of private and professional life, on very many
pecasim s, at the most distinguished Courts of Eu
rope and throughout the world, in conflict or rath
er in argument, with the most refined diplomatists
of any country, those militiamen of diplomacy have
achieved remarkable success. (Hear, hear.) I
might refer, if I were disposed to empty upon you
the archives of the American Legation here or else
where (a laugh.) to many striking instance” of this
kind; and as I propose to conclude my remarks
by suggesting a particular name to your approba
tion, it may be proper to say that the list of our
American diplomatists, beginning with Benjamin
Franklin, Thomas Jeffers >n, James Monroe, rind
William Whitney, includes a long array of illustri
ous “militiamen diplomatis's,” who have left be
hind them a record of the most glowing and grat
ifying character. (Cheers),
At this very Court some of my predecessors may
be compared to the very best of the drilled cohorts
of European diplomacy. There is one little com
ment which is to a certain extent connected with
American diplomacy, on which I will say a word.
You know that we have recently had some diffi
culties on the coasts of the United States and in
ihe West Indian Sea (hear) —a matter with which,
as one of the militiamen in the diplomacy of the
United States, I was lately charged. Now, with
out referring to that question more closely, it is a
point which is essentially connected with one of
the fundamental principles of the American revo
lution, —that principle being the necessity of main
• aining on behalf of the great American people, as
a great community, the independence of their flag.
(Cheers.) Well, I am not going to argue the
question as to visit and search. It has been ovei
and over again, for years back, argued and rear
gued. But I should like on the 4ih of July to an
nounce to my fellow-countrymen that visit and
search in regard to American vessels on the high
seas in time of peace is frankly and finally ended
(Tremenduous cheering, the whole comp iny rifirig
and manifesting the liveliest enthusiasm.)
While, gentlemen, 1 am able to announce this
gratifying fact, I think it ought also to be acconiDa
nied by the assurance that the termination of that
for which we have struggled tor nearly half a cen
tury had been brought about with a degree’s hon
orable candor and fair dealing on the part of tt.<
British Government which is worthy of every ac
knowledgment on our part. (Loud cheers) Will
a view to draw these remarks to a cl >se, 1 be.
leave to offer you as a toast the name of one of thi
earliest representatives alike of the principles ot
ihe American revolution and of the constitution ol
tire U.died Stales—l mean Thomas Jefferson, tin
author of the Declara ion of Independence. (Luna
cheers).
The toast was drunk in solemn silence.
The Globe says that the Rev. Mr. Spurgeot
preached in the open air at Old Sarum last wink,
and staled that he should no longer preach in tin
Music Hall of the Surrey Gardens. lie also stater
ttiat if he failed in getting funds for his new taber

for America or Australia.
Tlio Atlantic Telegraph Cable.
Failure of the Enterprise—the Cable parted <
third lime—rei urn of the fleet to Queenstown
The Niagara and the Gorgon had returned t.
Queenstown, afier three unsuccessful attempts i
lay the cable, They reached ill,it port on th
morning of July 5. The Agamemnon and Valo
rous had not arrived, though they had two hundred
mile-start. The squadron experienced very se
vere ea tier duruig their cruise. On the 13th
of June a heavy gale sprang up, during which
they seperated, but all met again at the rendezvous
52 2 lat., 33 18. on. On the first attempt aboui ten
miles ofcaule were lost; on the second about 120
miles, and on the 28th ttie cable was again joined,
and about 250 miles were paid out, wneii coininn
ideations ceasing to be received the cable was par
ted, and the Niagara and the Gorgon proceeded o
Queenstown.
The second edition of the Cork Reporter ot
July 5 has the following particulars of the erui.-e:
The Niagara and Gjrgon,attached to the - quad
ron for ihe laying of tiie Transallanic cable ar
rived in Queenstown at an early hour this mor
ning. We regret having to announce that the
object ot the expedition has lor the present tailed,
and we stia I now give our readers such particular
ol ihe events which occuied in the course of ilie
undeitaking as we have burn able to collect. Tin
Agamemnon and her tender, the Valoroue, and the
Niagara and her tender, the Gorgon sailed from
Plymouth on the 10th of June, each of the grea
vessels carrying about 1,500 miles of cable, with
anew and improved apparatus for paying it out,
which it was calculated would have allowed lor
any strain or unequal motion of the ship, as the
very speed ot the vessel regulated by autumatic
arrangements, the rate at which the coil was to be
discharged. After having been three days at sea,
the expedition was overtaken by a tearlul gale,
which continued without inle, mission for nine
days.
On the seventh day of this heavy weather the
ships, which continued to keep together, had to
part company, and the Agamemnon was obliged
to scud before k the wind for 36 hours; her coal got
of the cable shifted, so that her captain for some
time entertained serious apprehensions for her
safety, and from the immense si rain her waterways
were forced open, and one of her ports were broken
Two ofher sailors were severely injured, and one
of the marines lost his reason from fright. Yet
such was the consummate skill, good seamanship,
and intrepidity of her commander, Captain Priddie
that tie was enabled to bring her to the appointefi
rendezvous, lat. 52 deg. 2 min., long. 33 di g. 18
min. The Niagara rode out the storm gallantly,
having only carried away her jibbooin and one
wing of the figurehead, the great American eagle.
Ail the vessels having at length arrived_at iheir
central point o f junction, the tiist splice of the ca
ble was made on the 26th. Alter having paid
out two and-a-lralf miles each, owing to an acci
dent on board the Niagara, the cable parted, The
ships having again met, the splice was made good
ami they commenced to give out the cable a sec
ond time; but after they had each paid out 40
miles it was teported that the current was broken,
and no communication could be made between
the ships, Unfortunately, in this instance the
breakage must have oecured at the bottom, as the
electricians, from tlie fine calculations which their
instruments allow them to make, were able to de
dare such to have been the fact, even bef.ro the
vessels came together again. Having cast off this
loss, they met lor the third time and recovered
the connection of the cable, on the 28th. They
then started afresh, and the Niagara having paid
out. over 150 miles of cable, all on board enleri.-iin
be the most sanguine ant cipations of success, when
the fatal announcement was made upon Tuesday,
the 29fii, at 9 p. ni., that the electric current had
ceased to flow.
As the necessity of abandoning the prnj'ct fur
the present was not only too manifest, it was con
sidered that the opportunity might as well be avail
ed of to test the strength of the cable. According
ly this iminen e vessel, with all her siores. &.c .
was allowed to swing to the cable, and’ m addition
a s ain of four tons was placed upon the, break*,
yet, a though it was blowing Ii ■-< a. *in,e, the
cable field tier as if she had bee- ... am inn loi ver
an hour, when a heavy pitch ot the sea snapped
tbe rope, and the Niagara bon. away f<- his port
Before starting an arrangement was made that
should any accident occur in giving out the cable
before the ship chould have gone 100 nr les, they
should return to their starting place in mid ocean;
but that in case that distance should have been ex
ceeded before any casusalty should happen, they
-hould make for Q eenstown. In accordance with
this uiiderstaudering, the Niagara having made
109 miles before ttie mishap, returned to this p rt.
Upon her homeward wav she rnu-t have passed
itie Agamemnon, but owing to the heavy fog*
which prevailed for thegrerter portion of that time
-he inisspd seeing or gaining any tidiuzsol her.
As the Agamemnon has not yet arrived, although
liar destination was directed toward thi- shore, it s
conjectured that she might not have delivered tire
arranged quantity of coil at the time of its litimre.
and may have consequently returned to their place
of meeting, which will unavoidably protract the
suspense which must necessarily be lei', as, u til
she be spoken with, nothing drfiiuie can be learned
as to the occasior. of this disaster, I beta o prin
cipal etectricians, Dr. Sanity and Mr. Liwes, on
board the N agara, are inclined t” believe that the
accident occured on board ttie Agamemnon, which,
as it would only implicate a faulty arrrangement
of the apparatus, would sill have hope of the
ultimate success of the undertaking, whereas, if
the separation has occured at tire bottom, itseffeets
Will be grately to damp, if not deter, t he enterpris
ing spirit ot tiie directors from persevering in this
gigantic project- Should nothing be heard of tier
consort, tire Niagara will, after coaling, proceed to
her ocean station, tiaviug still on board about
1,300 mi.es of the cable, which,supposing that the
other vessel has retained a similar amount, would
still permit the junction being complied, and a!
low 30 per cent, for casualties. In this last trial
some 500 miles of the rope was Inst, and when ii
is calculated ttiat it is rongnly estimated that the
vaine of the of the cable is about JCIOO a mile, it
will be seen that the sacrafice up to the present
has not been so extensive as might at first sight
have been supposed.

Tbe Recent Earthquake in Mexico.
The following interesting account of the recent
earthquake in Mexico is contained in the dis
patch from our minister to that country, Mr. For
syth :
“On the 19th ultimo the severest earthepTSkS of
'lif- present century was this ciiy,
‘i and. as far as heard from, in all parts of Mexi o.
I was walking ji the stree at (lie lime with Mr.
Fearn. Mv first impression was that I was seized
witti a sudden vertig", and upon stretching out
my h ind to my companion for support I found h m
making the same morion. The falling of the peo
ple upon their knees, their audible prayers, the vto
ipiit slamming of the doors and windows of the
neighboring houses, soon admonished ns that it
was a temblor of unusual violence. We were
arrested immediately under the tall spire of the
Convent of the Profesa. Looking up, and finding
it swaying to nnd fro like the inverted pendulum
of a clock, we moved away from its dangerous
proximity and patispd in the middle of the street.
The motion was so great lhat it was not easy to
Keep one’s feet, although bracing them apart and
planting a carie to aid them. The motion produced
upon ttie houses ha- preciseiv die effect i t a sea
- welt, the spongy soil upon which the city is built
v folding to ttie terrific phenomenon in,a sires of
long undulating waves. It la.-led a minute and a
half, though not with the gieate-t violence all the
iine, for, if it trad, not one of he mass.ve wal sos
which this city is built would have been nowstand
'i g As ii was, there is ha dly a house or a church
that has not been more or less damaged ; some
have fallen, killing persons and animals, while
hundreds are only kept up hv tlie props which
have been applied io them. Mv own house lias a
crack in one of the inner walls from the root to ttie
ground, while a seam is opened the whole length of
the Azoeta. F..r several days alt carriages were
prohibited in ttie streets, lest some house should
be shaken down. Several churches have been
bandoned as unsafe. The palace is very much
damaged. It appears to have been mom severe on
the Pacific titan on (he Ailantic slope, as we h ar
if several villages totally destroyed in that region.
If Mexico had been built in the fragile sty e ol an
American city, it would now be a mass of ruins.—
With all its massive walls, it has had a narrow es
cape. Tne earthquake was unaccompanied by
any noises except tbe creasing of beams and stone
walls, and the furious banging of ope-’ doors and
windows. The heavy, masonry of the Chaptiltepec
aq leditct was broken and wasting the waier in
more h ‘ll a hull red places uirliin ihe space . fa
mile and a half No I ving person rememh-rs a
