ACCOMMr.WATION IN LOAN TRANSACTIONS. —Only one-half of the Annual Premium, when the insurance is for life, requires to be ,paid for the first five years, simple interest being char g ed on the b alance. Such arrangement is equivalent to an immediate advance of 5 0 per cent. upon the Annual Premiu m, without the borrower having recourse to the unpleasant necessity of procuring sureties, Or assigning and thereby parting with his Policy, during the cur rency of the loan, irrespective of the great attendant expenses in such arrangements. The above mode of insurance has been found most advantageous when policies have been required to cover monetary transactions, er when incomes applicable for insurance are at present limited, as it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other com panies before the present system was instituted by this office. Loans are granted likewise on real and personal securities.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, eich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood,„„, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is ar tieularly recommended to persons enter tainin g secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are consci ous of havin g hazarded the health, happiness., and privileges to which every human being Is entitled. It i absolutely necessary that all men should k now that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violat ed wi thout, incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom an d re g ret 7_ 4 eoed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how th ose pe ualties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided , a nd, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical intlr bait , Y or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATT,LE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is worldwide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder willcease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, aad in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its c,leori y a iir:s so'ely fro T 1 its own in trinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-strcet, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free, ON PHYSICAL DISQUALIFICATIONS, GENERATIVE, INCA PACITY, AND IMPEDIMENTS TO MARRIAGE.

LONDON, SA' 4- NATIVE POWER IN NEVI ZEALAND. The following extract from a letter written by Dr. Neild, of New Plymouth, will be found interesting : "About ten miles from New Plymouth, New Zealand, a , deadly strife is going on between two men and their fol lowers. Wiremu Kingi, always opposed to Europeans, and who once openly, before hundreds of natives, called the much boasted Sir George Grey a lying Governor ;' this chief, with 500 men, is besieging Thais, always a friend to Europeans, with 120 men. Ihaia cannot hold oat in his fortress above a week, and then comes an awful massacre, for Kingi's mob declare they will kill every man, woman, and child in Ihaia's camp ; and Kinglii has sent a letter to the commander of onr garrison of 250 troops, to say that when he has done with Ihaia he will, in spite of a recent proclamation of the governor, escort through the town some of his allies from Ornate, and, if molested, he will 'open a butcher's shop for selling the pakeba's flesh.' This fellow is a church Maori, as all our worst rebels have been —Heke Ranperaba and Rangihaeata, of the Wairan massacre, &c. But he forgets one paint. He may come into the town, but he would never leave it alive. He is so intensely hated that nearly all the settlers would rein any risk to shoot him. You have no conception of the desperate irritation of mind towards this big savage and his mob in the breasts of our people. And if the Maories provoke a collision, my own belief is that they will be nearly exterminated, and that nothing in North America will be worse than the doings here. For nearly 20 years the Government has pursued a temporising course. The Maories believe forbearance to have meantweakness, and the settlers have felt their interests sacrificed to savage caprice. They have been driven from lands bonght and paid for, and cooped up within a territory of only six miles radius, whilst be yond this to the north lies a glorious country for fifty miles, not forest but fern land, yet well watered and timbered, of which the natives do not and cannot culti vate one acre in one thousand; and yet from this land they have driven us and keep us. Our little settlement contains or did 2,500 people. On 125 miles of coast in our province there are 1,700 natives. I cannot wonder that the temper of New Plymouth, after so long a time of patient waiting and the endurance of insolence untold, should be as it is. Most earnestly do I wish that the two races could be reconciled to a new order of things, and both sit down under English law and government. But our Maories despise us and our laws, and our soldiers to boot. Their civilisation is all fudge. They copy our dress and use ploughs, &c., because the one is convenient and the other brings them money; but they are savages still none the less. I know the minds of two natives that brought on the present contest; the most ferocious was a quiet seeming man who had lived ten years in town as a servant to one of our merchants. No sepoy could be more dangerous. " I will now describe a visit I lately paid to both the fight ing parties as temporary colonial surgeon, and in company with two government officers of the native department, before the militia were called out. The parties are placed on the banks of the Waitara river, ten miles from the t own , headed by Wiremu Kingi, and Ihaia and Nicoruna. The former heads from 400 to 500 besiegers; the latter chiefs have only 80 or 100 men, and hosts of women and children. The quarrel has reference to land. During the last four years tae natives have been taught by missionaries mot to sell the land. Hence sprung up the land league. One of its members here (Katatore) shot down a native chief magis trate, in British pay (Rawiri), and six other men, when en waged in cutting the line of some land they wished to buy. The Rawiri's friends were besieged by Katatore. Katatore had 250 men from the south to help him, but Ihaia came and rescued them, the price of his services being a piece of land, on which, in Maori warfare, he had built a pah, which lie called Ikamvana, namely, Inkerma3. This land he was entitled to sell according to Maori customs. Meanwhile a sort of peace was made, but not by Ihaia. Katatore nego tiated to sell land, and arrangements were nearly concluded, when the vile, treacherous, Puketapti mob—the nuisance of this place, instigated by Wiremu Kiugi, it is believed, and certainly by two native magistrates, paid £5O each per annum by our government to keep the peace (oh! how one's blood stirs to write this), laid a trap for Ihaia. They laid a plot to murder Katatore, and got Ihaia to consent to it and be concerned in it ; but they were the conspirators; hide's party, not his own hand, did the murder, and then the miscreants instantly jeinerli Wiremu Kingi to destroy Maio. Thus they got rid of Katatore, anti now nearly of Linda, and hoped either to keep their land or get all the money for it themselves. Ihaia defended his Ikamvana pah for some time; but as it was near our settlers, and not wishing to endanger them, he left it and went down to his land at Welfare, taking post in his pah Te Kuraka. There we went to see him. Riding through a splendid but unoccu pied country, we came to the river Waitara, a good stream, navigable by boats and canoes, and fordiug it up to our horses' girths, were met at the farther side by two videttes, each with loaded double-barrelled guns. One went before, the other followed us, first, past an encampment, chiefly of women, cooking food for the men—a position well defended by breast-high earthworke, with good loopholes for firing from. The Maori, like the Turks, fights only under cover. Thence, we zig-zagged along the face of a very steep cliff, here and there passing :small pickets of men and boys, all armed with loaded guns, and at last were conducted to head-quarters, nameiy a the deep trench of, an old pall, well posted, inaccessible from the river, ewe by our path ; whilst its approaches on the other side were plain land. Here we met in council the malignant Wiretnu Kingi and the chiefs of his Tana,' or war party. The object of our visit was broached, namely, that in the absence of our colonial surgeon, J, as his deputy, had come to dress the wounded. Oh, yes, quite right, dress our men,' said Kingi's party, but the ` rangoa,' or medicine, a term having with the Maori the same bread meaning it has in North America—' the medicine must not go to Ihaia. ".Oh, oh ! ' very nice this, dress you, and then let you tan bid me—the Government surgeon—to dress the other side ; he at once your partisan and slave, when every personal feeling revolts from your treachery, cruelty, and malignancy.' A smart de bate arose, but argarnent was vain, and I refused to dress any unless I might dress both. Yet thiswas painful and cruel werk, for close by, in a small but, lay a Maori, with a ball 1 in his foot, who overheard the deba'e, and who made the retna k, Ah, it is all very well f r Wiremu Kingi to say he would not send for the doctor to dress him, but I want this ball out duly foot.' lie died that day wt ek ! Further be it observed, that this same hateful Wiremu Kingi never fights or runs one bit of risk himself. Like other big bul- ! lies, be is a thorough coward. Yet, it is by the will of this fellow, almost solely, that we get no land, and are virtually ruined if we try to realise our investments. He has not one wrong to urge against us, nor has his character one redeem ing point. I formally refused to act, unless I could act for both sides, and so the mater ended. To keep honour bright' even with these fellows, I gave them my ' kit' of in struments, dressings, and dinner, whilst we went to the be leaguered camp. 'These was no objection to our visiting it, but ' take no rongoa ;' our horses were accordiogly left, saddles and brides on the ground, t e thered in a patch of oats, a crop wasted for war; and passing other outposts of earthwork and trees, loop-holed, as before described, we be gan to come near Ihaia's pah—showing and waving arms and bats, to prevent lungshots' at us in mistake. We saw where the besiegers, a week b fore, had tried to creep up to a second pah of Ihaia's through standino, corn, but were seen and repulsed with some loss. Reaching Ihaia's pah we passed through its double palisading and visited the inmates, who looked, to my eye, hagg a rd and harassed. One poor fellow was dying of cousutnption , a nd two other., Luke' and Toby,' were shockingly sounded by an ambuscade and skirmish, the results of which had brought me down. One had seven tomahawk cuts—slashes four inches long—and two musket-ball wounds, one at the hip and out at the back, the other in at the thumb and out near the wrist, in again in the upper arm and out of the shoulder ! Toby had a b3ll lodged against the bones of the leg. Yet I must not, in ho tour, help them, save, to day, dress them with water. I may here say I was pronounced correct in what I did officially, and in a few days after two settlers, a surgeon and a merchant, rode down, and, at great risk, stole into the pall, dressed the men and removed the ball, and Luke and Toby are well again. Wiremu Kingi's cruelty recoiled on him self, at least on his soldiers—and Ihaia was not hurt by it. Leaving the pah, and again using precautions to avoid ' long shots,' we went to the old Pukerangeora's pah, where the ambush lay which had caught Ihaia's peo ple whilst out to get food. Two fine oxen of his, shot that morning, lay dead to rot on the ground. I picked up two ball-cartridges, and my companions found a tong broken handled tomahawk. a broken musket, a cap torn in front bv a ball, and some other clothing of the men killed when Luk - e and Toby were wounded. We soon found ourselves amongst a dozen Maories, all with guns loaded and capped, and whose number quickly amounted to 28, by twos and three out of the trenches of the old fortress. We told them of the clothes, gun, and tomahawk, and with muc h i m p ar ti a lity we t oo k to Ihaia's men what had belonged to their comrades, and went back to Wiremu Kingi with their friends' relics. Another brief call at Karaka, an interview with the two chiefs, Ihaia and Nikoruna (Isaiah and Nicodemus), and then we returned to our horses and Wiremu Kingi's mob. We called at an out post full of men armed, and, asking for my kit, it was promptly handed to me, the mouth tied with flax, and the contents untouched. I sat down and took my sandwiches amidst a grove of guns, rubbing sheulders with their owners, all friendly enough, and courteous—greedy as the al aories naturally are, no one, by gesture or word, showing a desire to share my Kai-rai,' but I gave part away. Wiremu Kingi came up and wished to see my instruments ; so I sat down with him and showed them with much unction. Pity he could not benefit by them. Wioilst saddling my horse, a Maori, a tarnata non, or common man, m a d e i nqu i r i es a b out the wounded in Ihaia'e pah, and the savage fellow gloated over every bit of detail about the wounds and cuts he could wring out of me. I told him as little as possible. "My four-and-a-half years amongst the finest race of savages in the world' brings me to assent to the remark that, ' you may Christianise and civilise savage individuals but not a nation. And our missionaries who have laboured amongst them 25 years are constrained sorrowfully to confess their once hopeful converts are not only negligent and retrograd ing, but are worse than ever they knew them in heathen ism. . . And I don't think our now virtual ascendancy will be allowed by this warlike race until therelbas been, as Col. Mandy says, in Our Antipodes,' another, and, to the natives, a surely fatal, appeal to arms.' I think it m i g ht b e averted with the greatest advantage to both sides; but I see no signs save an ultimate tempest. My visit to this most beautiful country—like the Tamar Valley, but richer even, though uncultivated and bathed in the intense, clear sun shine of a New Zealand summer sky—ended by again ford ing the river near its mouth, up to my knees on my mare's back—but a good wetting matters little here. We rode ten miles on the black iron sand beach, in the teeth of a strong S.W. wind, which made my lips sore for a fortnight, yet I took no cold. I must confess to having felt much interest in seeing thus, in actual existence, Maori warfare, pahs, stock ades, sec., &c., yet I came away heavy-hearted; for if we could but have fair play, and we want no more, I rather pre fer the Maoris' presence to their absence—whilst, as it is, even a more Christian man than I am cannot easily take the bitter draught we have to drain in our present mutual rela tions. However, our settlement is so palpably going to decay that some step must be taken on our behalf. So much for this ruinous, tedious Maori war of blockading and starving out. We are at quiet again for a time, but 48 hours ago Ihaia made a sortie, 30 of his men were killed, one belonging to tribes on the Wbanganhui river, who will now send men, perhaps 300, to avenge him, and thus tribe after tribe gets drawn, till it is impossible to Say how many may eventually be collected bore." -...' PRICE 4D, STAMPED, SD. THE NAVY. The Mersey, 40, screw steamer, at Chatham, has had her lower masts put on board, and the tops over the mastheads. The riggers yesterday commenced their labours preparatory to sending her toPortsmonth,where she is to be made ready for sea.

The Victoria, 121, screw, Is progressing in a nr'st satisfac tory manner in her Majesty's dockyard at Portsmouth'. Iron ribands have been placed in the after part of the slip to secure her from the vibratory motion of the working of the screw, and so, holding the timbers together in a compact b xly, as to prevent the chance of leakage in the weakest part of the vessel. The Admiralty lev6e at the Devonport Dockyard com menced at half-past 10 on Thursday morning, and did not conclude until after two o'clock. Upwards of 100 officers ob tained audience. Sir J. Pakington lunched with Admiral Superintendent Sir J.

Moody, R.E., at present commanding the Royal Engineers in North Brita n, and formerly Lieute nant-Governor of the Falkland Islands, which he with a party of his corps prepared for colonisation between 1841 and 1848, has, we have reason to believe, been appointed Ventenant.Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the new North American colony of British Columbia. The gallant colonel will shortly proceed to assume the duties of his new government, embarking at Southampton, and proceeding to the colony via Chagres and Panama. Orders were yesterday received at Chatham garilson, di recting reinforcements to the number of upwards of 500 men of all ranks, belonging to the three battalions of Infantry, to be held in readiness to embark for Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, and Kurrachoe early in the ensuing month.

The Sherwabd Foresters are still at Newcastle and Tynemouth, and the men are daily out on Whitley Sands at rifle practice, in which they make great progress. CROSSED CHEQUES.—A banker says :—" Notwith standing all that you say ahout crossed cheques, I maintain that when a cheque is properly crossed it cannot be oblite rated, except through the fault or negligence of the person crossing it. If the crossing is made with strong transverse lines, it cannot he erased without mutilating the cheque; but I have seen many crossed cheques where the crossing w•a: not observable without special examination, and in such cases it could, of course, be easily erased so as to avoid de tection." THE METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.—The report of the Metropolitan Baird of Works for the year ended June 30, 1858, appeared yesterday in print. The Board refer to their former proceedings in connection with the main drainage of L nation, a summary of which has already been given in cur own perio fleet reports of the meetings of the Board. They say it is obvious from the wide range and recondite character of the inqniries con nected with the main drainage question, that a lags s' , ar e of the time and attention of the Board and their officers must have been devoted to the sehj. ct, and that the conduct of the elaborate investigations incident to the successive plans which the Board have been required to prepare unit have occasioned a very considerable expenditure. Toe surveys, plans, and estimates e Innected with improve ments in the thoroughfares and communications of the metropolis have also been attencle I with great labour and expense. From the unsettled state of the main drainage question, and the uncertainty which has hitherto prevailed as to the lines of sewers which might eventually be approved by that department of the G tvern ment charged by the statute with the ultimate determina tion of the plan, the Thud have been obliged to defer the execution of extensive sewerage works until the question shall have been finally decided. and proper outlets provided. Between the 26th of March, 1857, and 25th of March, 1858, 11,208 feet of new sewers were laid down ; and 30 side en trances, 100 ventilating shafts, aid numerous flaps and gulleys were constructed. The cost of eternising 166 miles of main sewers during the year was £0,814, the repairs £2,687, and the total expenditure on sewage works £28,404. Application wa. made to the Board by vestries and dis•rict boards for their sanction to loans on the credit of the heal rates, amounting in the whole to £108,968, but, this sanction is suspended. As regards the new line of street 70 feet in width, between B;ackfriars-read and High-street, s m i t h_ wark (the gross cost of which was estima'ed at £519,124), it is stated that on the 16th of April last the Board agi eed %% it h the Bank of England for a loan of £400,000 for seven years, at 41 per cent, to be advanced by it/wall/tents of £30,000 each. This cash is to be applied to the South war k i mprove - men and also to the " Covent Garden ap roach," the gross cost of which is estimated at £91,820. Premiums were awarded to the following gentlemen for designs of fl streets :—Mr. H. D. Davies, 100 guineas •: m;st-la .je.Tss T. Knowles, 50 guineas ; and Messrs. Kandi% Warren, 10 gesineas ; and for designs of second-class streets, to Mr. W. H. Cullingford, 50 guineas ;to Mr. Red "0 Guineas; and to Messrs. S. Hughes and G. Hopkins, - 5 goinea;. There is to be CO improved communication between the East India Dock and Bow road. The Beard will con tribute to the cost of widening Mint-street, South wark ; High-street, Wapping • Mill-street, Dockhend ; Rotherhithe- s t reet ; and the improvementsi in the Minoties, Nesvgate-street, and Fleet-street. The new park in Fins bury will include 2.50 acres, and the cost is estimated at £216,820. The land is partly in Islington and partly in Horusey. It was intended tolay out a park of 106 acres in Bermondsey and Rotberhithe, to be called the Seuthevark park, but the Bill was dropped, owing to local objections to the site of the park. The Board have improved the number ing of the houses in the New-road, between the Edgware road and the Angel at Islington. The necessity of ab dish ing the duplicate names of the streets advered to in the last rep')rt of the Postmaster-General, has occu pied the serious attendon of the Beard, but their powers are too restricted at present to enable them to carry out to the full the useful suggestions of that report. The re ceipts of the board in the year ended Lady-day last amounted to £75,751, and the payments to £90,260. The outstanding debts due to the board were £133,601. They had a cash balance of £54,403, and a sum of £4,048 in the New Three tier Cents. The total liabilities of the Board amounted to £452,448. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS AN INFALLIBLE REMEDY FOR BAD LEGS.—Robei t Dickie, of Broad-street, Allow, informed Mr. Curnminr, druggist, of the same town, that about 18 years ago he injured his ankle in a Coal pit, which afterwards farmed into a running ulcer. To cure it he tried innumerable medicines, but without efhct. He was in the Royal Infirmary about three years ago; there they told him that amputation was the only chance of saving his life. At last a friend very earnestly recommended him to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and they have been the sole means of healing the wound, and rendering his leg perfectly sound. Printed directioue for their use accompany • the medicines. 'URDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1858. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE, THE VOYAGE OF THE NIAGARA, AND THE RECEPTION OF THE NEWS IN AMERICA. By the Northern Light we have received New York papers, brimming over with despatches, loiters, reports, and leading articles relating to the success of the Atlantic Telegraph expedition. The public beth of the United States and of Canada bad been wrought to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, and their delight has manifested itself in illuminations, torch-light processions, military parades, salvos of artillery, and 'numerous other demonstrations. It is difficult, indeed, to convey, without borrowing a great deal from their journals, an idea of the excitement which prevailed. The news reached New York on the sth inst., on the afternoon of which day one of the papers published the following "extra :" " The - news from:Newfoundland Is almost too good to be true. The Atlantic cable is laid The United States steam frigate Niagara, Capt. Hudson, and the British war steamer Gorgon, Capt. Dayman, arrived at Trinity Bay yesterday (August 4), and the Atlantic cable, the working- of which is perfect, is being landed to-day. All we can hope for now is that the abave important and exciting intelligence is true, and that the Agamemnon and Valorous will succeed in land ing their cable safely at Valentia Bay. This news will send an electric thrill throughout the world." _ .._.._. Within a few hours two despatches were received from Mr. Cyrus Field. One was to the mayor of New York " Trinity Bay, Aug., 8, 1858.—Sir,—Theklantic telegraph cable has been succe.sfully laid. C. W. FIELD." The other was to the Associated Press of New York : " Trinity Bay, Aug. 5, 1858., " To the Associated Press, New York : " The Atlantic telegraph fleet sailed from QueenstoWn on Saturday, July 17; met at mid-oceanna-Wednesday, the 28th, and made the splice at kpan. on Thursday, the 29th, and then separated—the-Agents:oms and Valorous bound to Valentia, Ireland, and the Niagara and Gorgon for this place, where flay arrived yesterday, and - this morning the end of the cable will be landed. It is 1,698 nautical, or 1,950 statute, miles fr fin the telegraph house at the head of Valentia harbour to the telegraph house, Bay of Bull's Arm, Trinity Bay; and for more than two-thirds of this distance the water is over two miles in depth. The cable has been paid out from the Agamemnon at about the same speed as from the Niagara. The electrical signals sent and received through the whole cable are perfect. The machinery for paying out the cable worked in the most satisfactory man ner, and was not stopped for a single moment from the time the splice was made until we arrived here. Capt Hudson, Mess's. Everett and Woodhouse, the electricians and offi cers of the skips, and, in fact, every man un board the tele graph fleet, has exerted himself to the utmost to make the expedition successful. After the end .f the cable is landed and connected landwith a t o h t e ost.j line olt o e r leg eo rt a ip l, h, an an d l th t: n e N pr i o a: gara has discharged some; cargo belonging to the Telegraph ceed Company,at once she to New h e York. " CYRUS W. FIELD." The Mayor replied —ire Si r,—Your despatch has been re ceived. I congra:ulste you for mystlf and for the people of this city on the success of the great work of uniting together th e Old and New World by the electric telegraph. Science, skill, and perseverance have triumphed.—DANlEL F. TIEMANN, Mayor of New York! , The following despatch was sent by Captain Hudson to his family : " Trinity Bay, August 5, 1858. " Gad has been with U 9. The telegraph cable is laid without accident, and to Him be all the glory. 'We are all well.—Yours, affectionately, Wm. L. H UDSON ." The President of the United States, who was at Bedford, Pennsylvania, received the first intimation of th e e ven t through the agency nf the Associated Press; he subse quently received a short message from Mr. Field, in which it was stated that the line would be kept clear for a message to him from Q :an Victoria. The fillu,sing was the Presi dent's reply :- 6 ' Bedford, Pennsylvania, August 5,1858. " To Cyrus W. Field, Trinity Bay. "My dear Sir,-1 congratulate you with all my heart on the success of the great enterprise with which your name is so honourably connected. Under the blessing of Divine Providence I trust it may prove instrumental in promoting perpetual peace and friendship between the kindred nations. I have not yet received the Queen's despatch. Yours, very respectfully. ' " JAMES BUCHANAN." We may here state that Mr. Buchanan, when it was pro posed tha: the that message should pass between the rulers of the two nations, at once assented, an wrote the following letter to Mr. Field : " My dear sir,—Accidental circumstances, which I need not detail, prevented your kind letter of the 19th ult. being brought under my notice until this morning. I now hasten to say I will feel myself much honoured if the first message, as you proposed, sent across the Atlantic, be from Qtacen Victoria to the President of the United States—and I need not assure you he will endeavour to answer it in a spirit and manner becoming a great occasion. Yours, very respt cifully, "JAMES BUCHANAN." Owing to an unfortunate accident to the laud telegraph wire somewhere iu Cape Breton we have no additional defi nite information respecting the landing of the Atlantic tele graph cable at Newfoundland. The land line of telegraph to which the accident occurred passes through a wilderness, and the work of repairing damages is one of no small diffi culty.

It was the theme and subject for wondrous admiration for every one during the entire day, from earliest noon till after midnight. Tim inquiries, !elation of facts, and expressio,s of hope and admiration, were on every one's tongue, and heard by every one's ear, wherever one turned, and at every hour during the forenoon and afternoon. The rush for the several editions of the Herald was almost unprece dented, and every despatch tendedonly to increase the anxiety and produce additional sensation. It was universally felt that the greatest triumph of human ingenuity and enter prise had been successfully accomplished heyoNd the shadow (f doubt. Nevertheless, it was apparent, from the continued inquiries and the ever-increasing desire for further news, that the people everywhere burned with anxious feelings to hear something additional to what was already known. People were frequently heard to ask, Has the Queen's message arrived 1' Others would remark that they believed anything possible now. Some would desire to know what the message and answer would be, and conjectures—many of them the most ridiculous—concern ing the subject of the message, were kept up with great spirit and tax of the inventive faculties."

The following summary from the Argus contains the principal items of news :-- "A cessation of hostilities between the Boers of the Free State and the Basutus has been effected, and both parties have agreed to leave the matter in the hands of his Excel lency Sir George G:er, who will leave Cape Town on Wed nesday for the Free state. his Ex clic n •.• is .0 qtetnnt mediation between the two, but whether be will suceeed' or not it is difficult to say. The Free State is in sad confusion. There are three parties there, one in favour of a union be tween the State and the Trans Vaal, under the governor ship of Pretoria's; a second party is in favour of Boshof and war; and a third, and by far the largest and most intelli gent portion of the community, yearn for re-annexation with the colony. "Claims have been cent in by British subjects living in Moshesh's territory for compensation for injuries and spolia tion of their property by Free State people during the war, to the amount of £2,300. " Caffreland is quiet, and there is little complaint now of the Caffres in the colony. The chief Umbala was captured last week, but what his crimes are we do not know.

"The alarm expressed by many at the beginning of the year that the importations of British goods and the amount of Customs' revenue for the current year would be greatly reduced, have proved altogether erroneous.

Her, science are surpassed by what we n generation of the country. Had a n . years ago such events as those wider sn (on grate fully claims for his Vicereyal•y—the union of the two worlds by the electric cable, or the establishment o f a packet line between Galway and New York with st eamers of 4,000 or 5,000 tons burden, be would speedily have bad hi s pr per place assigned him in the long list of Irish proje c t ors. Nov, if anybody had gone so far as to predict several thousand miles of railway, he would have been set down as fit com pany fur the explorers of Wexford gold mines, or the con vertors of Irish ly,g-earth into spermaceti candles. But Atlantic telegraphs, Leviathan stcatners, and Irish railways have been surpassed by the change in the habits and condi tion of the people. The greater part of this change, ton, has occurted, not within thirty years, but within ten—nny, even five. The contrast which slaws Loth Eglinton is that between his last Vice-royalty and this. Wherever he goes he sees the face of the country and the aspect of the people equally changed. He sees employment, wealth, enterprise, order, peace, and comfort. He sees a ccmunt nity steadily enenteed in those works- of industry which placed England at the head of civilised nations. He sees modes of cultivation and agricultural machinery which a few years ego would have been certain death to those who had the temerity to employ them. He saes labour receiving its reward, and no longer engaged I tht,tliep, and allroperty. lie ninewanhouesields,lesnsewwabrrfaereeds csttre, but a new s race of men. There is only one vestige of Old Ireland still to be deplored, —it is the fierce jealousy of the rival creeds which divide the numbers against the wealth of Ireland. The smothered fires of this ancient volcano still ever and anon break out, and threaten to bring Ireland hack to i•et former miseries. Lr.i Eglinton does his best to coax and cajole the good people of Derry into Christianity and good sense on tins tvuiter point. lie refers in the customary terms to the famous Defence ,• and gratefully recalls b ow, in the last century, even the Roman Catholics, headed by their Bishop, put a goad face on it, and joined in the annual celebration. But times are changed. The Papists don't like now to be reminded of the event which banished their sovereign, proscribed their religion, ant confiscated their property. They feel other ties stronger than the local or the municipal, and resent, rather than welcome, the festivities, the processions, the services, and tire sermons, that now recall the liberation of Derry and the scattering of Papisi cal foes. If they see so urrsr.sonable, so ill-natured, end so silly ;—if they take amiss so simple and natural as ex pression of feeling, then Lord Eglin•cn suggests, or just hints, that it might be as well to give woe . Chi re is no fear of the Siege of Derry being forgotten ; so what is the use of always recalling it, when the annirersary gives every body offence? Thirty years ago tire condition of Ireland was a disgrace, ret only to England, hut to Europe itself. Nowhere was there a people so ill-fed, Si ill-clothed, so ill-housed. For those misfortunes and infirmities which bring upon the poor books a twentieth of the people ofprosperotts England, and as much as a twelfth, or even a tenth, of some thriving agricul tural districts, the Irish people had no l ega l resource except that liberty to beg which an English statesman once alluded to as a tolerable equivalent. For those who were ashamed to beg and strong enough to dig there remained the lowest de scription of husbandry known in the world, small without proper buildings, implements, or stock, yet so ue cessary to the existence of the cultimor, that he allowed himself to be rack-rented out of all proportion or power. To defend his position when he could pay no rent, when another bid more, or when the landlord attempted a better system, he had no legal resource except combination to murder—a practice which has not yet received the sanction of any British statesman. Besides his rent to his landlord, generally an absentee, he had to pay tithes to a clergy whom he believed to be the agents of, a Satanic heresy, and who had precisely the same opinion of him and his creed. The more he paid the more was 'he denounced, and when he discharged his legal obligations, it was only to feed the flames of an odious persecution. Of course, he did combine against landord and clergy; he devised methods suitable to his condition and cla=s, and found chiefs equally ready anti fit. So, thirty years ago there rated a social war, which the greatest captain of the day pronounced to be not only fatal to our credit, but dangerous to our weal, and pregnant with the worst consequences, if not met with timely conces sions. A most able and unscrupulous man, who found his own line of greatness in ripening and organising the social disorders of his c tte.t e y, and wino set at naught every con sithlatiou that came in tine way, held the heart of Ireland in his band, and could do what he pleased with that excite able race. Titus at the same time there raged three fierce wars in the island, the political, the religious, and the pre dial. The first brought its chief to beard-the Legislature in its own halls ; the second actually suspended fur years the legal prevision for the Established clergy; and the third threatened every day to send every landlord to the grave, where already lay, in most instances, his most active agents, his most improving tenants, and several of his relations and friends. The result of this was asocial misery, an uncertainty of life, and a precariousness of condition, utterly incompatible with happy and healthy existence. Tne landlord would not reside where he hated and was hated in return; where he dispensed wretchedness, and where his life was sought. If he did reside, it was to trueckle to a priesthood who could and did hand him over to the assassin. His wife could liot bear a country where she lived half the year with the lower windows boarded with three-inch planks, wbere an obnoxi ous colour provoked angry missiles, where her husband Ind given a site for a Popish Mass-honss, and where every ser vant about the house was in secret league with the foe. So their visits were few and far between, and they generally resided where provisions were not so cheap, or life either, as in tide peaceful country. Every week, sometimes every morning, the landlord had letters fit:flu persons playing a , double game between him and a band of assassins. lie was duly informed of the proceediugn of clubs that met every night for the (10 reorient of rude justice at the expense of landlords and their agents. He had to check tine leit.rs one against another, and no secure, if possitie, by calling in fresh aid, that they were not all in cor,usion :o.rainst When thus up to the arrangements of the shooting season he would find his information verified by a murder or A/1 a! :env:. I t v. as, of course, gratifying to R rd himself on the right scent, ant that his life certainly was sought. ue, the assassins often failed, and the victims, or ireentled victim., had their consolations. The es-rt.:sins sehtom failed to kill soincbolvs though ofzev 11:e wrung man. When one man was shot for another tine one had the comfort of feeling tha• he was the victim of the mistake, and the ocher nag at least cpidly pleased to have the benefit of is. This was Irish society thirty pars ago. 'Fine natural consequence absenteeism and mutual hatred was something worse than barbarism. Yet there were also that and extravagance. There were . ideal income, overwhel m i ng d e bt, consutn i ng mortgages, millstones of settlenoel.t, huge castles never lived in or paid for, and every evil of public or private life, enough to have brought on a hraudred bloody revolutions, but for the im mensely-preponderating power of wealthy and Protestant England. Could it have been imagined thirty years ago, that in the year 1858 two men of different parties, an Irish Viceroy atd ex-Premier, would be found drawing such a picture of Irish peace and prosperity as that given in the speeches of Lord Eglinton and Lord Palmerston ? Would a predic tion of the Atlantic Telegraph have been more disbelieved ? How has this change come to sass? It is the result, we freely admit, rather of events than of any human wisdom. It is the work mainly of Heaven, and not of man. Among' the causes which have cont r ib u t e d we must reckon the very extravagance of Irish demands, and that shrill scream of nfogled threat and insult which cracked the voice and finally broke the heart of Irish agitation. O'Connell dug his own grave. He just Hied to see his country dfsen thrailed, not only from some odious restrictions on her liberty, but. still more from himself.

Eudoxie Laurent, a pretty actress of the Ti eArre des Vari&et, appeared en Wednesday before the Tribunal of Correctiowl Polce to take her trial on the charge of apprep e i r eing some objects, which had been seized. It appeared that some time ago she, purchased on credit a cask of 1F: acne (Burgundy) wine of the best quality for 570 fr., and that she did not pay for it. Tee sellers, MM. Audiffret, accordingly brought an action against her, and obtained authorisation to seize her furniture ; but evt:en they had effected the seizure they learned to their vexation that it was not hers, hut an upholsterer's, she being merely the occupant of a furnished apartment. They then seized various sr ides of dress belonging to her, but after this was done she took away a morning gown in silk richly decorated, a tilk dress, two good bonnets, and three chemises decked with English etnereidery, worth 401 r. each. In her defence the fair actress said that she had thought herself entitled to take the things, and that they were of such tittle value that she had given them away to some girls. She had so little intention, she declined, of doing anething wrong that she had effered to restore the things. She also hal, she added, offered to pay for the wine in instal men t s. "Y es!
