'rho Pren.h Government hinds itse!f not to grant any other concession far lines between France :am! North America during the period of twenty years from the let Saiptembor, 1949. A cones , :ion grant d by the State Legislature of New York, for handing and at orkaig cables between that State and Franco, ha s been I,OllllNi. Arrangements have Men male with the Submarine Te:eeraph Compare g for the exclusive use of one of their wires between Eng. hand and Dieppe. from which place the }tench Government will construct a sleet al win , to Brest direct for the Company. By this means, the valuable cooperation of the Submanne Telegraph Company hoe been secured, and an uninterrupted route from Eng. lend to the United States will be established. The French Government has promised its support and assistant* to the undertaking, and an honorary oommattee of the highest position has been formed in Paris. The growth of telegraphy on the Continent is recent years has, owing to greeter facilities and a lower tariff, been even more rapid than in England. In England, the number of messages has been annually increasing at the rate of from 13 to 20 per cent. In France, the number of messages increased between likla and PUP, from 1,759,000 to 3,414,000, having nearly doubled in thee yeses. In Prussia, the average annual increane haa been 34 per cent. In Austria the traffic mcreaecd nearly f our! old between 1861 and 1866. It has been generally acknowledged that, both for political and commercial reasons. the laying of a direct and independent cable groin the continent of Europe to the United States was only a question of time, and considering the extraordinary increase of telegraphic mesuoges wherever new facilities are afforded, it is to lie expected that the new undertaking will create fresh traffic, Independent :of that of the old companies, sufficient to ensure earnings of equal if not greater amount. The published report of the Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company to thew Annual Meeting, held in February last, contains the following statement :—" The revenue from the cable Is pro =satisfactorily, and the reduction in the rates, which cam on December Ist .1867,, has tended much to the development of bnidnees. The gram returns ;of traffic made to this Company pine, the 27th July, 1967, by the Anglo-American Company, show the following daily averages, namely: 710•1 Jul 17th, 1867. to Feb. 21st, 1866, the average per day has been about £1,046 From December let. 1867. to Feb. 21st, 1816 Prom January Ist. lam. to Feb. 21st , 1868 The prose daily traffic for the month of February has bent as iollows Feb. 1 2 £ 766 7 Feb. 12 £ l 1.,18171:0 ~ 13 3 665 „ 14 1.612 • 4 938 1,240 ~ 13 „ 16 1,470 766 6 1,386 „ 17 1,1711 ~ 7 I,M3 „ 18 1,608 1,673 " 18 1,620 „ • 9 1,908 • 10 I,2H „ 21 1,250 11 1,707 This average of £1,300 gives an income of about £173,000 a year. Prom their income, however, the existing Companies have to pay one-third to the Newfoundland Companies, a charge from which the present Company will be tree. It will be the object of the mew Company to fix such rates - for menages se will secure the traffic. The price to be charged Is intended to be t i er a message of 10 words, and it seems not too sanguine an ex pectation that at this rats the line will find oonstar employment. Thepowerof transmission of the new cable is estimated. to the report of the engineers and electricians, at a mitei c.m &ci 12 weds per minute, which, allowing 14 hours • waste nem and oonaequentJ, only 10 hour. a day for actual work. and taking 300 working days in the e ar, gives, at the rate of At per massage, an annual Insane of 000. I'vactically, the proportion of Mrs and hours lost would, in probability, be ler than is assumed In this estimate. The working expenses of the new line may be calculated to amount at the utmost to £30,000 per annum. The projioeed cable will be laid in two ratans the first from Brest in France, to the French island of St. Pierre, o ff Newfound land ; the second from Bt. Pierre either to New York direct, or to a point between Boston and New York, with a 'pedal line to the List named city. The length of the cable is as follows, Ist mention, from Brest to St. Pierre 2nd section. from St. Pierre to the United States, about 722 „ 3,047 miles. To this, length an amply sagneient amount of slack will be added contract has been entered into with the Telegraph Construc tion end Maintenenoe Company to manufacture end lay the cable for the sum of /920,000 of which 1810,000 is payable in cash the cable. instalments during the manufacture and shipment of the cable.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 12. THE EMPEROR'S GOOD WORDS. l'ltz Emperor NAPOLEON is singularly un fortunate in his peaceful speeches. Not content with reading them between the lines and reading into them the niost forced and sinister meanings, his ingenious subjects absolutely refuse to believe that their first intention is the real one. When he stops for half an hour at a railway station between Pion biases and Fontainebleau, and tells the Mayor of Troyes that at present nothing exists to endanger the peace of Europe—these harmless, if not reassuring, words, expressing very simply what should, be the literal truth, are pounced upon by a host of eager and curious commen tators in search of a topic for alarm, and twisted into a formula of ominous and mowing reservation. The imperial professor of peace is made to mean that nothing threatens the peace of Europe to-day, and that the harvest may be got in and the vintage secured, but that after to-day the nation must trust in the Pro vidence which has so often protected it from the consequences of its own ill regulated ambition and the follies of ita rulers. The appeal to Providence on imperial lips is in terpreted as if a French Providence must be the God of Battles; and the plain word " to-day" is supposed to point the coming contrast of to morrow. Yet lithe EMPEROR had omitted the word " to-day," and had confined himself to the remark that nothing threatened the peace of Europe, it is tolerably certain that so large and comprehensive a phrase would have been treated as one of those dangerous generalities in which deception lurks. It would have been observed that assurances of equal force and value had been pronounced by the same personage before the Euasian and Italian wars. And it would have bees urged that so emphatic an an. :... • nouncement, and one so assailable as a matter of fact, could only portend its oogtrary. The mode of interpretation is not particu larly encouraging to the good intentions and goodwill of the SovlazioN who is so laudably anxious to appease the prevailing distrust. Perhaps it may persuade him that the causes of that distrust lie deeper than the surface of events. Evidently, is the case of a monarch whose words arc cots. habitual taciturnity is, on the whole, less dis turbing to the general confidence than occasional utterances which must inevitably say too little or too much, and which sum up a situation of affairs in the fewest words of the most accommo dating signification. Whoa the Emperor Nkro- LEON holds his tongue he is suspected of in scrutable designs—when he lifts, up his voice even in reply to a provincial Mayor, ho is sue peeted of employing words to disguise his thoughts and to dissemble his purposes. Whose fault is it that at a aoafon when .11 the world is in retreat and asking only to be lot alone—when the travelling and holiday-making European public have just been assured that the Foreign Secretaries of France and England were examining the political firma ment the other day, and could not find a black spot on any horizon ;—whose fault is it that the Soveeetoe in whose hands of all others, humanly speaking, are the issues of peace and war, cannot open his mouth to confirm the report of those emi nent statesmen without at once destroying all the good effect of M. de MousrrEn and Lord STAN LEY'B friendly conference, and setting the teeth of all the chroniclers and prophets on edge ? Our contemporary, Le Temps, is at no loss to point the moral of this incessant contradiction between sound and sense, attributed by public opinion to those speeches of the Emperor NAPO LEON, which, whether actually delivered or not, are published to the world in the Meniteur as hav ing been addressed, " without preparation," as the conjurers say, to some local functionary. Our enlightened French contemporary insists on the impracticability of putting down rumours of war —which are the product of patent facts—by as surances of peace, which are mere words for words, and are not in harmony with those facts. It may very well bo believed by im partial foreigners that the Emperor NAPOLEON is as sincerely desirous of preserving the peace of Europe as the Foreign Secretary who was lately conversing with M. de MOUSTIER, and arriving with him at the conclusion that the European sky was perfectly serene. But a personal and a military government has its peculiar necessities, and among these the necessity of maintaining an enormous standing army, and keeping that army employed or contented. If the government of the Emperor NAPOLEON were in fact what it is in name. a representative government ; if the electors, upon whose suffrages the empire reposes, were free to manifest and to exercise their choice ; if the Chambers were not packed with nominees who, instead of controlling, are controlled by the administration ; if the national will were effectively, instead of nominally supreme, there would be no need for the SovEaricisr to " reassure public opinion" by peaceful gene ralities. The nation would have a will of its own, and would know its own mind without a prompter, and all Europe would understand whether liberal and intellectual France, commer cial and industrial France, agricultural France, desired war with all its risks and burdens for the sake of glory and predominance, or peace with all its fruits and all its blessings. When France has regained her own discretion, the Empire will be peace because it will be liberty. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY 3VENLNG, AUGUST 12, 1868. years I ban been engaged in cattle and sheep farming in South Australia, and that during my residence there the peetansge at times from drought has been so scanty that we have resorted to the practice of cutting down trees for the imbeistehee et the stook ; those were principally the shea oak (Casurina% which are constantly used by bullock drivers whs. travelling for feeding their bullocks, and on these trees they do pretty well. I have also known the HUM tree (Eucalyptus) used for feeding purposes, and have had them cut on my own sheep runs for food, but from their aromatic and very astringent character, sheep suffer from constipation after eating them for tea or twelve days. Comparing the leaves of English trees with Australian, I think they are far more suitable for sheep and cattle food, and if carefully housed they would eat them readily dur ing the winter. They might be mixed with chaffed hay. If the leaves of all the deciduous trees in England growing in the hedge-rows wore collected, they would in many counties exceed in weight that of the hay crop. In valuing sheep runs in those parts of Australia subject to drought, an extra value belongs to those runs whero there is an abundance of rhea oak trees. There is also another comparatively neglebted description of fodder, which a summer like the present makes unusually valuable—that ia, the wheat straw. We have had a summer of most un usual heat, quite an Australian summer, hotter and drier then the la.t five I passed in the southern part of Aus tralia. There we stack large quantities of wheat straw for winter food for our cattle and horses. During our mild winters they may be seen regularly every evening leaving their pastures for their usual supply of straw at . the straw stack, and sheep also will oat it readily during the wet weather. Now, why do Australian cattle, bred from Engliil cattle, readily eat straw in Australia ? The straw of the same wheat is generally coarser and longer than the F..ngli:l straw, not out earlier nor stacked more carefully. Mr. BROWNE answers his own question by say ing that the extreme heat of the Australian summer developes more saccharine matter in the' straw, andhe then remarks that he has known work ing bullocks kept entirely upon straw for months. These animals "were taken from the s'traw-yard " early each morning and watered, thenjfed with " fresh straw, yoked up at 8, worked until 4, " watered, and put in the straw-yard again. _ _ . " They did their work of ploughing eaiily, and " kept in good condition." This is surely very curious. The old story of the philosopher who attempted to keep a horse upon air, and only failed through the animal perversely dying just as it was becoming accustomed to straw, would seem to have a different meaning to the one popularly assigned to it. If Mr. BROWNE be correct—and it is noteworthy that he speaks from personal ob3ervation and expe rience, and does not hesitate to give his name and address—our farmers are to be congratulated upon an easy way out of what might be a serious trouble. We have complaints from all "parts of the kingdom of the deficioncies in the hay-crop, but we shall at least have plenty of dead leaves, of chaff, and of straw. If any or all of these can be so mixed with hay as to make a palatable and nutritious food Australia will have taught the mother country a valuable lesson. Few experiments will be more cheaply and easily tried than that suggested by Mr. BaowNE. ACCORDING to the latest rumour, Lord MAYO Will not go to India after all. Sir STAFFORD Norma:Yrs is again first favourite for the appoint ment. It is said that Lord Mayo himself never wished for the appointment, but that it was in a manner forced on his acceptance. The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND may not be the fittest man to succeed Sir Jonx LAWRENCE, but it will be satisfactory to find that he has recognised be comingly the univeral exclamation of astonish ment which saluted his seleJtion for the govern ment of India. MEE MAJESTY, it appears, has already begun to make excursions from her charming residence at Lucerne, and it is almost to add that the loyal and indefatigable British vulgarian has followed the movements of Her Herzerr with his usual assiduity. We are glad, however, to hear that the QUEEN has made this truly British loyalty somewhat difficult by putting all the vehicles and animals in the neighbourhood under requisition for the use of her establishment. Piz can confidently confirm our Paris correspon dent's peremptory denial of the absurd report of a supposed affront to the Empress Euoutis in the guzzles not returning her visit. Them was a perfect understanding between the two sovereign ladies on this point, and nothing could be more cordial than their mutual relations. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Walee, with smite, arrived at Abergeldie Castle yester day afternoon. The weather was very wet, rain having, for the first time there for three months, been falling heavily and steadily for the specs of 16 hours. His Royal Highness Prince John of Glilclusburg is expected shortly to arrive on a visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales at Abergeldis Castle, Aberdeenshire. Their Serene Mighneeses the Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe-Weimar have arrived in Dublin from town, the prince having joined his regiment in that city. The marriage of the Earl of March, eldest eon of the Duke of Richmond, 8.G., with Miss Ricardo will take place in November. The death of Mr. John Douglas Cooke, the editor of the Saturday Review, who died at his residence in The Albany, Piccadilly, on Monday, shortly before mid night is announced. Mr. Cooke was for some years editor in chief of the Kerning Chronicle newspaper during the period that journal belonged to the Peelite party. The Emperor's return to Fontainebleau was the occasion of a grand dinner at the palace on Sunday, fol lowed by a ate in the evening. The Empress gave ordere to admit the public to a part of the reserved gardens look ing on the Cour des Fontaine.. The band of the Dragons de l'lmpfratrioe played overtures and military pieces, and at 9 o'clock it placed itself at the head of the whole regi ment, executing round the large piece of water and in various parts of the park a promenade with torches. Afterward. a display of fireworks was let off near the water. The Empwor, on appearing at the balcony, wan received with loud shouts of " Viva l'Empereur !" The King of Bavaria, letters state, appears con stantly in company with the Emperor and Empress of Bemis at Xiesingen. The greatest intimacy seems to pee ved between their Majesties. The Grand Duke of Hesse had arrived, and the imperial pair, with the King and his brother Prince Otho, went some way out to meet him. Prince Humbert of Italy and his bride have arrived at Baden from Holland, and were present on Fri day afternoon at one of the children's balls regularly given there each week. In the evening they went to the Ant performaam given by the company of the ThEittre-Fran ads. Oolonbem and La Chaim were represented, Mme. Madeleine Broken, Begnier, and Wont playing admi rably. The Paris authorities will not tolerate an &Noe any more than • Lantern,. The sale on the public way has been withdrawn, and the Nositeur announoes that the journal L'Alipas will be prosecuted for an obscene print. . The .fficlipso is published weekly, and the front page has a picture on it. This picture is always submitted to the censorship before pub. &aim This was done in the ease of last Saturday's publication, and the official visa was gisen. It is strange that the obscenity was not apparent to the censor in the first instance. It appears that the picture, under the disguise of • melon, contained, when looked at from a particular point of view, the Limes* of an illus trious personage. M. Andre Gill, the author of the de sign, repudiates indignantly the charge of obscenity. "My designs," he says, "are often intentionally xuaignef but never intentionally obscene."

THE unprincipled virulence with which Mr. CiLsmeroza is being wailed suggests that the " No Popery" cry has not answered the expecta tions of the ingenious revivalist who put it forth. The broad division between the two extreme sec tions of the Church prevents the unity necessary for electioneering purposes, and it is evidently thought more politic to heap venomous abuse upon the Liberal leader than to trust to the inflammatory circulars which are being so extensively circulated among the clergy. Meanwhile the intelligence from South Lancashire is most favourable to Mr. Insoirrowes chances of success. The Liberal element in Lord DERBY'S county is far stronger than was sup posed; though in North Lancashire Colonel WILSON PATTEN'S seat is considered safe, and the real contest will be, it is said, between Lord HARTINOTON and Mr. firsatinv. The few Liberals who have deprecated Mr. GLAntrromx's selection of his field of contest will be doubly gratified if he succeeds ; and it is at least satisfactory to know that the miserable personalities showered upon him have had no effect upon his personal reception by the electors. From Ireland, too, the news is encouraging. The defeat of the astutely divinedmessure respectingpollingdistricts in the sister country will, it is rumoured, cost the government at least three seats ; and though the policy of contesting boroughs and counties, with or without a prospect of success, is ardently advocated by the clever tacticians who pull the Tory strings, it is ' not always easy to find candidates sufficiently disin terested to throw their time and money into a losing cause. The borough of Finsbury, for ex ample, has no Conservative candidate before it, in spite of the eloquent persuasions of party agents ; and the further we see into the tone and character of the elections the more clearly does it appear that Mr. GLADSTONE has the confidence of the great body of the people. The attempts so strenuously and unscrupulously made to convert our pulpits into canvassing booths have not hitherto fulfilled the end they were designed to compass. The petitions lying for signature in personages, the appeals in church, the confusion of things api ritnd things temporal, the profane prayers for electioneering success, are, we are willing to believe, exceptional. That such things are pas sible at all is unfortunate for the people, and still more =fortunate for the Church. CHAFFED HAY. TEE agricultmists who are already grumbling over the prospeote of the winter will be at least as much amused as surprised at the suggestion of an ea-Australian sheep !sealer in this morning's Time. Dead leaves have hitherto been considered useful principally formannre, and to point poetical analogies. It seems they are turned to a far more practical purpose in Australia. Cattle and sheep are fed upon them. According to Mr. W. J. Bnowrrs, who writes from Bideford, North Devon There =lst. a crop of fodder in England n ever use d , but which might be used to supplement the present short supply. I allude to the leaves of the deciduous trees, which, just previous to their general fall, might be shaken and beaten down with sticks upon the ground or sailelothe, dried, stacked, and need as winter food. They might be steeled in the centre of a straw stack, ea chaff is semettrass stacked. The reason that suggests this to my mind is that for many OUR CON TEMPORA RIES. (THIS DAY.) THE I.IdPEROII NAPOLEON AT TIIOI-14. Ihe Times asks why it should be eon.,ider.•d a remarkable thing to hear the Emperor declare that nothing to-day threatens the peace of Europe? In every country the words will be dwelt upon as oracular, and people will interpret them according to their own fancies or prepossei siona ; but the Timex willingly receive , : them in the pisi:i and ordinary sense of the worls, and accepts the avuranee that Clumpagne, and consequently the rest of Europe. need not fear the calamities of war. POLITICS AND THE HAIITTIT. Whatever element of disorder may be introduced at the coining elections by the despair of faction, none will arise, the Daily Noes thinks, from the discontent or despondency of an ill-fed people. There is every prospect of a little more work and a little more beyond mere n.:ces series than the working classes have enjoyed for two years past, and therefore so far as these classes are con cerned there is mason to anticipate a good deal of that social peace, that political contentment, and that de:ire for quiet crijc , ymant, which always characterise the British people in prosperous tunes. The political importance of a good harvest is obvious. The situ 4- faction of having enough, the absenee of pre ,ing anxiety or care, form an excellent pro - .aration for politics' duties, and, under existing eircum , tanee:, there is more reason to fiar lopt,lai apathy than popular passi , iii, danger that the i.eople irmy be mishsl by ryi,i- n.l dre,s(d to them from el,cs - e. than that b.ey spa ell I be excited by l assions sti:::::lated from below.

The rmes commends Mr. Forster's spocch at Bradford as a plain and vigorous exposition of the real issue to be decided by the nation in November, and his speech de cidedly stiengthens the case for the disestablishment of the Irish Church. The views of a candidate upon this question not only funiish the test between a liberal and a conservative, but the way inwhich they are enunciated and developed is the best mode of distinguishing between rival liberals. The man whose views en the Irish church are thoroughly sound gives a pledge of economy, for the Irish establishment is a symbol of wasted power; he approves himself a friend of sound educational progress, for the Irish establishment is the embolinu at of the errors which infect our educational system and retard its develop ment; and he is a courageous reformer, for he does not hesitate to assist in destroying an anomalous institatimi however long-established or deep-rooted. THE an - AL DIIHOP Of NATAL. The Thyroid< observes that if the Archbishop of Can. terbary should continue to sanction the stratagem by which it is sought to set up Dr. Macrorie as Bishop of Natal, ho must sanction a policy that would place the church in an tagonism to the law by which it holds its position in this country. If it is true that the archbishop countenances such a course, be must answer to the grave charge of deal ing a blow at the relations between church and state more bold and more fatal than any of whirl' Mr. Miall has ever yet dreamed. JEPTERSON DAVIBB RECEPTION AT LITEEPOOL. The Herald thinks there is no reason to wonder at VIA warm reception Mr. Davis has met with at Liverpool, although there is much cause to rejoice at the quiet and unostentatious character which the demonstrations of respect and sympathy have assumed. Indeed, wherever he may show himself among Englishmen, Mr. Davis is sure to be welcomed with every mask of esteem and admiration. TUE NEW ATLANTIC CABLE. The Daily News says that the fact of the new cable running from a French port to an island in the possession of France, and that a concession from the Emperor's government has been obtained, will interfere but slightly with its English character. Its tariff is to be lower than that of the Anglo-American Company, so that the latter will be put on its mettle to conserve its custom, and the natural result will be a considerable reduction in the c oat of messages, to the advantage of the public. HISS MENNEN AND HER POEMS. The sudden death of Miss Ada Isaacs Menken in Paris has been chronicled in most of the English journals, and those only who have known her as the wife of several American prize-fighters, and one or two journalists, and an actress who had outstripped the moat audacious of her contemporaries, may be astonished to learn that she has a volume of semi-religious poems in the press, which will be published in a few day, under the title of " 'Welk*" and dedicated by special permission to Mr. Charles Dickens. Miss Menken was favoured in no common degree with the correspondence of many of our saost distinguished literary men, and it is not improbable that some of these letters will be eventually given to the world ; in the meantime it may not be uninteresting to quote the letter from Mr. Dickens which is prefixed to the volume of poems we have just alluded to : "Oath Hill-place, Higham-by-Rochester, Kent. Monday, October 21, 1867. "Data Mres Maitxxis,—l shall have great pleasure in accepting your dedication. I thank you for your portrait as a highly remarkable specimen of photography. I also thank you for the verses enclosed in your note. Many such enclosures come to me, but few so pathetically written, and fewer still to modestly sent. Faithfully Pura, "CHARLES Incurs." The poems to which a fee thnik copy of this letter acts " • kin d of preface, are about thirty in number, many of them written under an inspiration which can be clearly traced to Walt Whitman. The first poem in the book is called " Resurgam," and it may not be inappropriate at the present time to quote the following passage Why did I die O love! I waited—l waited years and years ago. Once the blaze of a far-o ff edge of living Love crept up my horizon, and promised a new moon of poesy. A teal full life ! A soul's full love! And promised that my voioe should ring tranchig shivers o/ rapt melody down the groove. of this dumb earth. And promised that echoes should vibrate along the purple of unfathomable seas, to the sou ndl ess folds of the clouds. And inomised that I should know the sweet sisterhood of tea stars. Premised that I should live with the crooked moon In her eternal beauty. But a midnight swooped down to bridegroom the day. The blazing aphynx of that far o ff , echoelese promise, shrankinto a drowsy shroud that mocked the crying eters of my soul's unuttered song. And so I died. Died this =alined and unburied death, Died alone in the young May night. Died with my fingers grasping the white throat of many a prayer. There I. much more of this rhapsody, and little in it to make us believe that a gushing impulsive creature, such as Menken is represented to have been, could not have written the volume without the aid of some of those poets whom she took into her confidence. One poem, called "Judith," with a quotation from " Revelations ' under its title, has the following passages : Stand back, ye Philistine' Practise what ye preach to me I heed ye not, for know ye all. Ye are living binning Um, and profanation to the gar ments which with stately steps ye sweep your marble .• • • Cat " hack ! I am no Magdalene waiting to kir the hem of your gar ment. Another poem is an avowed imitation of Ossian ; moat of the titles are Bad or biblical, and two or three prose "fragments" form part of the volume.
