Tin latest news from the Great Eastern, and the hopes of the people directly interested in the suc cess of the Atlantic Cable, may be briefly sum marised. The great ship is proved to be, by her won derful steadiness at sea, eminently adapted for cable-laying ; but it is obvious that she needs careful over-hauling and efficient repair. In her present condition it would be as imprudent to let her brave the Atlantic winter gales with such a cargo as she carried the other day from Sheerness, as it would be safe and easy to do so if she were in proper trim. The present arrangement of tanks and coils must be improved, for it is impe rative that her proper complement of boilers should be supplied, and at present two of these have been taken out to make way for the cable. Strengthened as Mr. PATERA'S' recommends, and appointed as Captain AnDnasox advises, the great ship will, it may be fairly hoped, do great work yet, and is, not improbably, destined to a long career of usefulness in the special service for which her size and capabilities so eminently fit her. The interests of the Great Eastern Steam ship Company, the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, are at this juncture so closely identified, that the three Boards meeting to-day will pro bably have little difficulty in making arrangements for the common benefit. The natural wishes for the immediate resumption of the enterprise can not, in the face of Saturday's intelligence, and of the judgment of the responsible executive officers, be gratified. So long as it was a mere question of ropes and grapnels, those interested had a right to count upon the prompt return of the ship to the Atlantic ; but, after the suggestions and the information which will be officially laid before them this morning, it is impossible to suppose that they will hurry on her departure. The delay of a few months is of infinitely less im portance than the risk of another failure, and the attempt at picking up may well be deferred, pro viding the time be spent in 'enuring victory by carefully guarding against defeat. It is greatly to be regretted that vagne suspicions of foul plsyshould have arisen during the recent voyage, and we can not but think that it will be more useful to devote time and thought to devising means for speedily remedying faults, than to indulge in irritating speculations upon their origin. Whether, under existing circumstances, and in the face of present failure, it will be wise to think of making and carrying out another cable, at the same time as it is sought to pick up the one now lying in the Atlantic, is a problem, the bare men tion of which will be startling to many. Yet the arguments in its favour have some cogency and force, and it is noteworthy that they have the sup port of the practical men, both nautical and scien tific, who accompanied the Great Eastern on her last voyage. With the reports of Mr. C LNNINO and Captain ANDERSON before them, supplemented as they will be by the testimony of other authori ties rn board, it would not be surprising if the Companies meeting to-day, while deciding to have the Great Eastern thoroughly fitted out for • new departure next May, were to courageously supplement that decision with • rider to the effect that constructing a second cable would be • judicious and, in the end, an economic way of triumphing over present difficulties. THE American newspapers bring us accounts of a new public work which is shortly to connect the territory of the United States with Canada, and which, it is said, will be worthy to rank with the greatest monument of engineering skill with which the enterprise of two continents his endowed either country. This is the International Bridge which is to cross the head of the Niagara River from Fort Erie, in Western Canada, to Buffalo, in the State of New York, obviating the use of the dangerous ferry which at present receives the traffic of the two Canadian lines of railway termi nating at Fort Erie. When the bridge is finished a perfect connexion will be established be tween the Buffalo and Lake Huron section of the Grand Trunk Railway and the Erie and Niagara Railway on the Canadian aide, and the Atlantic and Great Western, the Erie, the New York Central, and the Lake Shore Railways on the American side of the river. The International Bridge is to be a massive structure of stone and iron, of imposing grandeur, and with two storeys to serve the purposes respectively of the railway and ordinary traffic. A notion of its utility may be gathered from the fact that two railway companies have engaged that the tolls payable on the through traffic which they will pass over the bridge shall not be less than Io,ooof. sterling per annum. The necessary contracts for its construction have lately been signed in England, and it is to be completed and ready for opening within the term of two years. One project of this nature, bringing prominently into view the advantages common to all enterprises of the clans, begets others, and accordingly we hear of proposals to build interna ti onal bridges connecting Sarnia with Port Huron, Morrisberg with Waddington, and Windsor with Detroit. There is nothing very extraordinary in these who live on opposite shores of the same river, each having commodities to exchange for which the other has a use, desiring the material mese of fuller and freer communication with each other. But it is most extraordinary that 16. while the multiplication of of interchange between Canada States is universally regarded _ sogg_lses s it should be thought wise to make laws irtiolt contemplate a directly opposite end, and are iatecded to restrict if not to prevest that very remoter°. of which bridges are among the mast im•l portant instruments. Nobody in the United Slates shakes his head or hints • fear that the two countries may be getting too many bridges in common. That would be to reduce to a tangible form an absurdity which often esca p ee recognition when it is veiled in general and sounding phrases, and accompanied with loud talk about national interests. Just as little are the stock objections of politicians heard in this me. Nobody on the American side of the border recommends that Canada shell be made to wait for bridges until she is ready for political annexation, or pleads for the refusal of facilities of communication with ". rebel sympathisers." These considerations are reserved for the me of the Reciprocity Treaty, which is in fact nothing but an international bridge of its kind ; an imperfect one, it is true, but, nevertheless, a bridge which, according to the COCx mittee of the New York Board of Commerce, has, since its adoption in 1854, given the United States a trade amounting to upwards of 300 millions of dollars. If such a treaty is bad, then these bridges cannot be good for the United States ; and, on the other hand, if they are good, the treaty cannot be bed. The bridge-maker, with his architects, engi neers, and skilful workmen, and the protectionist with his army of preventive officers, are at cross purposes in so far as each succeeds and un does the work of the other. To place obstructions on a bridge is so far to destroy the me of that bridge, and thus to destroy the bridge itself, which may be said to exist only as it is useful. This is exactly what the oppo nents of the Reciprocity Treaty in the United States—and they are to be found nowhere else-- are endeavouring to do, heedless of the serious character of the injury which their success would inflict on their own countrymen. An American journal, the Detroit Free Press, remarks on this subject :—" The farmers of Michigan and of the " North-West know that it is • necessity for them, " in order that they may get their produce to a " market, that they should hers the use of the " Canadian canals and the St. Lawrence river. " The fishermen of New England know that it is " a necessity for them that they should enjoy the "right of entering the bays, channels, and inlets "on the north-east coast, to procure and cure " their fish, and they know the millions of dollars " they can derive from thew advantages. They " are oontroiled by a foreign government, and " that government, in promoting the interests " of its people, asks for certain advantages over " which our Government has control. A recipe*- " cal concession by each will secure wealth and " increased prosperity to both. The people of " both oountries will be largely the gainers, and, " therefore, the interests of both countries require " the treaty. Yet such shortsighted and ignorant " persons may be found in high places as to ob " ject to any treaty because Canada may derive " the greatest advantages. They won's allow OW " farmers to gain fifty millions a year, because " Canadian railroads, canals, lumbermen, and " farmers may gain seventy-five millions. Such " stupidity can scarcely be realised, and yet it is " every day met with." We lately showed upon high American authority that the balance of trade was largely in favour of the United States. That is not a fact on which a free-trader would lay stress ; but it should have weight with those Americans who still adhere to the theory of the mercantile system. The fact is that the opponents of such a moderate degree of freedom as the Reciprocity Treaty has hitherto secured have not a single argument left which it can be pretended is drawn from the circle of con siderations which should determine the practical decision of the question. This is why they appeal to political passion, imitating in this respect the outworn vices of the Old World which they despise.

Since the arrival of Queen Christina at Zsraug rumours have been current in influential quarter of en approaching change of ministry by which the' progresaist party would come into power under' the Duke of Victoria (Espartero), General Prim being Minister of War. Such au event is seriously discussed in political circles, and the ministerial press manifest an ill- concealed uneasiness on this subject which 1 strengthens the conjectures of the opponents oft the present cabinet. Queen Christina is said to be decidedly in favour of the advent of the progreasist party to power, and to use all her influence with the Queen to bring about such an event. The Duke of Tetuan is represented as having terniined not to yield in the question of Senor Tenorio, whose dismissal from his post in the royal household he recently demanded. The minister's, great strength is held by his party to consist in an uncompromising attitude with the court. It is stated that no ministerial candidates will be put forward at the approaching elections, which will be conducted by the committees of the Liberal Union. Relative to the much-discussed interview of 1 Queen Isabella with the Emperor Napoleon, the ministerial Epoce says : We hive never dottiest the passibility of such an inter view taking plum What we have maintained, notwitb. Maudlin all that has been warted by the majority of the papers, is that no elitist step has been taken to Nisi about any sack interview. The Currespondencio believes the interview will take place. The same semi-official organ says it is witless for the opposition journals to seek for ob stacles to the ministry in high quarters, and states that the government is assured of not having for a moment lost the confidence of the crown. An important progressist periodical, Lo Nation, organ of Senor Madoz, recently published an article which has produced a great effect both among minis terialista and progressista. The NUCiOfb opposes ou moderate and well considered language the propagandist policy of withdrawal from political lite, although doing entire justice to the sincerity and purity of motive of those upholding this policy. On the day of the recognition of Italy by the Spanish government the Austrian minister in Madrid is stated to bare forwarded a protest ' against this act to the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs. Senor Castro replied in decided terms, denying any right on the part of the Austrian government in this question, and expressing very liberal ideas. New iron mines have been discovered in the neighbourhood of Irun, for the working of which a special line of railway is to be constructed. The product of the mines will it is estimated reach 100,000 tons per annum. The railway from Cordova to Maws has been opened with great ceremony by the Minister of Public Works, the civil governors of the two pro- I clones, and other officials, in presence of a large number of spectators. The benediction was given by the Bishop of Cordova.

This being Sunday, sad all Paris being at the seaside or the German watering places, we are re duced for political news to the official notifications of. the Moenteur. The most important is the pro mulgation of the new law on bail in criminal cases. Your readers will remember its leading provi sions. It is no doubt an improvement on the law as it has been up to the promised time, but as in all questions affecting the administration of jus tice, and the bold which the Minister of Police has out individuals, French legislation shows itself here ea timid in practice as it is bold in theory and prestice on all questions when the powers of go eurament are to be enlarged at the expense of the 'smite. By the new law the judge of instruction, or examining magistrate, when he orders a pri aoner into solitary confinement must make a note of the order, which is only valid for ten days, but which be is at liberty to renew. This law is the only one of public interest. The election in the Aisne promises to be hotly con tatted, and from the language of the organs of govern. ment there seems little doubt that it will go against the administration. The united votes of the Oppo sition at the first ballot were 17,000 against 12,000 given to the government candidate. It is amusing to read, even in the Pattie, which is less officiously official than the Constitutionnei and Pays, complaints l et the illegal pressure exercised against the defence less voters by the candidate of the Opposition. The fact is that there is growing up in Frames a political spirit which years of terrorand eompresidon had extin guished ; whether the new spirit which thus makes itself felt will be a really political one, or will be like its predecessor a mere spirit of faction, remains to be seen. If the Emperor's declarations be 'sincere —if he has been as successful in this ( respect as he has been in others, and the com pression he has exercised has only been with the object of educating the mums to the use of political power—the partial elections which vacancies in the Chamber have occasioned and the recent muni cipal elections, must be most gratifying to him, however annoying to his more short-sighted ministers. We suffered long enough in England from the I abusive use of their side-arms by soldiers 'off duty not to understand the complaints I which in France the scenes of brutality produced by the same cause call forth every day. The Lille beer has • deleterious effect on the sol diers of the large garrison which is stationed in that Itown. When the beer gets into their heads their 'swords and sabres are not long in finding the way to their hands, and once there they are not long inactive. On the 15th there was a pitched battle between the soldiers of the 47th of the line and the cuirassiers, and at the same time three unfor tunate civilians who were quietly wending home wards were attacked and beaten by the armed de fenders of order. Complaints have been repeatedly made unheard, as wee long the case in England. The military authorities cannot make up their minds to deprive the soldier of the badge of his trade. The esprit de corps forbids such a concession to civic sus ceptibilities. It would seem that, according to the ideas of these gentlemen, the law which forbids us non-military, or, as they uncivilly call us, civil, individuals to carry a pistol or a revolver in our I pockets, intended to divide society into two categories, the one entitled to the use of arms, the other intended to be subjected to their use. It is the old division of society, bat the great merit of the French revolution was supposed to be that it had changed all that, and yet we find in the year LXXIV. of liberty that there still exists in France' • class taiiabfe d taerci. The Minister of War cannot persuade himself that a soldier who has neither a bayonet nor • sabre at his side can be as respected or loved—this is put of a soldier's rights —as one who has no such means of making him self feared. He seems to forget that they would still have belts with buckles. I have only three lines of gossip to Bend. The Princess Frederick of Augustenberg, wife of the Bleswig-Holstein pretender, is said to have been invited to visit the Queen at Coburg. This will probably be interpreted into a sort of moral 'support offered by England to the lady's husband, for on the continent such acts of politeness are always supposed to indicate a political leaning. In the present state of the question, when it is still doubtful whether the liberation of the Duchies from the Danish yoke may not produce a German I war, we English know that such an interpretation is unwarranted. The Queen of England can receive whom she pleases without giving the public press the right to pin political importance to her private reception of distinguished persons. As next in rank to the Princess, Abd-el-Kader's visit to Brest to-morrow to be present at the meeting for the second time of the two squadrons is to be chronicled. He goes with a suite of some 20 persons. I have had to send you, if not theatrical news, at I least gossip connected with the theatre, thanks to M. de Ginzdin. Until something fresh turns up I shall be silent on the subject, after mentioning that be printed in the Pram of last night some verses written in his own praise. Let him, like everyone, have his due. The public is much mom likely to be interested in the announcement that Offenbach is engaged in writing music for Molihre's Bourgeois Gentilhornme. Mr. Russell's account of the voyage of the Great Eastern with the Atlantic cable has given so great an interest to the enterprise that most of the French papers have begun the translation of his log. In the last week the manufacture of machinery has received a fresh impulse. Spain, Italy, and Switzerland have added to the local demand. The retail houses have done a great business in the last week, thanks to the crowd of travellers who have thronged Paris for the rather abortive festivi ties of the 15th. All the more and, more generally, less useful articles which make so tempting a dis play in the shop-windows of the boulevards and the I Palais Royal have been carried off by those good folk who, of course, could not return to their vil lages without some such tangible proof that they had really visited the capital. In the wine growing districts the prospect of abundance is so good that business is at a stand still. The effect is worth noting ; while in some districts they boast of the splendid vintage which is certain, there are others, where there is old wine for sale, which predict all aorta of calamities as likely to destroy it entirely.

OffiIRBOURG, FRIDAY, 3 LIN The ball went off admirably. The stewards, apparently considering that on this occasion hospi tality to strangers was their first duty, o ff ended a great many towapeople by not inviting them. All the °titans of the English that were invited ; and although, of course, they amid not all come, a very large proportion of them attended. The Duke of Somerset, Lord Clarence Paget, Admiral Mores, and the Lords of the Admiralty were there. The Cherbourg Hotel de Ville is a singularly mean building 11111 seen from the outside, but large irregular wings have lately been built at the back of it, and there are now two handsome dancing-rooms, a large picture gallery, containing many works of art of singular merit, and a great many corridors and secondary rooms, which relieved the crowd of the ball. Contrary to the modern French custom of having supper very late, and giving no wine before supper, the cham pagne corks began to fly as soon as the guests began to arrive, and at one o'clock there was a capital supper. The rooms, though very full, were not at any time inoonveniently crowded. There was very fair room for dancing from the beginning, and as the evening wore on and the older folk went away the danoea became more spirited. The cap tains of the British navy wear a great deal more heavy bullion and embroidery than those of the French, and no doubt many French visi tors were puzzled about their rank. A great many of the English officers—many more than I should have supposed— wore the French decoration of the Legion of Honour, and these were particularly courted by French officers. One of these was Colonel Miklnrdo, who, by the way, speaks very good French. He was surrounded all the evening by officers, who, I have no doubt, took him for a field marshal, hich be might well be from the splendour of his uniform, his almost venerable appearance, and the number of his decorations. The young officers of the fleet greatly enjoyed their evening. The Royal Sovereign, Octavia, Constance, and Research left the harbour at 6 this morning for Portsmouth. The rest of Admiral Dawes' fleet will proceed to sea to-day, escorting the Lords of the Admiralty to Jersey and then cruising in the Channel till my Lords are ready to go on so Brest. The weather is less stormy than it was. The captain of the Dauphin, on which I am just going to embark, thinks the English fleet will very probably not be at Brest before Tuesday. Frightful stories are told of the scarcity of accommodation for visitors in that port. I see the special correspondent of the Constitutionnet, now there reports the price of beds as varying from 30f. to 50f. per night, and difficult Ito be got at that. I remember to have heard that there is no large town in France where lodgings are so scarce as in Brest. If anything like the numbers of strangers that have been in Cherbourg go to Brest, it is mathematically certain that the greater part of them cannot pass the night in beds at all. The Western Railway Company ought to or ganise trains morning and evening to take people out to sleep in small towns and villages a few miles from Brest ; but even in these, probably, the spare sleeping accommodation is very small. The explanation of the omission of a salute to the English consul at Cherbourg is that he went on board the Edgar before she had saluted the French flag. Mr. Hammond is satisfied with this reason. GREAT FIRE IN BERMONDSEY. Last night, shortly before 10 o'clock, a serious fire broke est on the prevails!' of Mr. Burke, carrier and leather dresser, situated is Bleak Buse-yard, Ber mondseyetreet, sad was attended by a great &Arne tke of property.
