Any other route, as may be seen from the map, must make a large detour, whilst the route by Russia is direct from England to China, and at the same time the land lines of this route have their mainte nance guaranteed by a strong European Power, through whose territory alone they have to pass. This route is already recognised as the shortest means of telegraphic communication with the northern ports of China, and as many as 30 to 40 messages, of 20 words each, have been sent through it from China to England in one day. The concession, for which there were several a; plicants, was, after long investigation, granted by the Russian Go vernment to Danish parties connected with the Great Northern Telegraph Company. By the terms of the con cession the Russian Government has granted the Com pany, besides other special privileges, the exclusive right for thirty years of connecting China and Japan with Europe through the Government wires on Russian terri tory. The concession provides for a renewal of these ex clusive privileges on preferential terms at the expiration of the thirty years, and in any case secures to this Com pany the continuance of the right of transmission of their messages throng hthe Russian land lines. The caution money of S.R. 150,000 has, in accordance with sec. 8 of the concession, been duly deposited with the Russian Government by the Concessionaires, and reverts to them. The consideration for the transfer of the con cession to this Company by the Concessionaires is fixed and agreed at £25,000. The Russian Government further undertakes to connect their system of land lines with the landing points of the Company's cables, and to increase their number of wires as the requirements of tha traffic may demand. A working agreement between this Company and the Great Northern Telegraph Company of Copenhagen by whose lines the traffic will be conducted from Russia to England, has been concluded with a fair rebate on the tariff of that Company. The first cable will be laid from Posietta to Shanghai N. either direct, or, if deemed advisable, touching at saki, or other convenient point in Japan. The next sec tion will extend from Shanghai to Hongkong. Ultimately the other important ports in Japan and China will be in cluded in the system of the Company ; and to construct these further lines tie necessary extension of the Com pany's capital will be applied for under the regulations of the statutes. Preliminary contracts have been entered into with Mr. William Hooper for the manufacture of the cables, the in sulation being " Hooper's India Rubber," similar to that employed by the Great Northern Telegraph Company in their cables between England and Denmark, and Scotland and Norway, say for 1,200 nautical miles from Poisetta Bay to Shanghai, and for 1,100 nautical miles from Shang hai to Hongkong ; and the cost of these two sections is £396,000. For the laying of the cables the Directors have, on due cons id era ti o n, made no contracts. The Danish Govern ment will aid the expedition with a Steam Frigate, which will take out a large portion of the cable, and assist in completing the necessary soundings. For the transport of the remainder of the cables, and the to e n l laying of t o thesf being same, done t a h t e t hDei lowest rectors possiblewill t ake cost, vmeasureshere_ by a great saving on the ordinary cost of laying cables at remote distances will be effected. The Russian Government provides a war steamer to accompany the expedition, to assist and convoy the ships laying the cables. The maximum tariff for messages, from any of the sta tions in China or Japan to the western frontier of Russia, has been fixed by the concession at 100 francs per single message of 20 words (of which GO francs accrue to this c om pany, and 40 francs to the Russian Government), con• sequently the charge for messages between China and Japan and England, including transit rates, can never ex ceed £4 Gs. per single message of 20 words. The contracts with the manufacturer stipulate that the cables shall be ready for shipment within three and six months respectively. Whatever other Telegraph lines may ultimately be established between: Europe , and China, there can be no dou bt that this Com pany , with its exclusive privileges from the Russian Government, will be able to maintain its position and make a good profit on the capital invested in the enterprise. The shares of this Company will be issued to bearer and pass by delivery, unless any Shareholder should especially require to have his shares registered for transfer, which, in such case, can be done both in London and Copenha gen. The liability is by the Danish law strictly limited to the amount of the shares.

She desires now to intro duce the latest processes of art without impairing the industry of her people ; to increase facilities for manufacturing, agricultural, and mining eute ?- prise, as the basis of a more extended and mutually profitable foreign and domestic commerce. To enable the Chinese to realize such results, by assist ing them in avoiding the complications of European diplomacy, in affording adequate moral support against ambitious schemes of foreign conquest, but above all in striking the key-note of nobler social organization and individual manhood, this country will render a service that will add to the American name a glory not eclipsed by past achievements in civilization. Our claims to the regard of that people will, of course, unlock to us the doors of a more intimate commercial intercourse than has yet been accorded to any nations=an - advantage not lessened by recollections of any injustice or aggres i?n. Through an established trading interco urse with China, exerting a powerful influence on her internal as well as her external trade, the commer cial interests of America will gain permanent foot ing. The railroads which will soon intersect the Celestial Empire will act as feeders to our Ameri can Pacific steam fleet. These railway s w ill reac h the tribes of the interior, and develope commercial relations with people yet but partially known. Our steamers upon the Yang-tze-Kiang, the Hoa ng -ho, and the lloang-Kiang, vrfi b r i n g do wn th e pro ducts of Chinese ind 'astry, and in return carry to the furthest poi S't of navigation cargoes of Ameri can mecharncal, agricultural, and mining products, thus d' using the blessings of a varied industry and an enriching commerce, not controlled by military conquest and colonial empire, but by the regular I normal influences of fair dealing and intelligent enterprise. In order to furnish some idea, in con centrated form, of the existing interests to be ef fected connec tionby the trans-Pacific commerce in with the progressive and active settlement of the public lands, inquiries within the last few months were addressed by the Commissioner to the Governors of the several States and Territories, and the authorities of 371 municipalities. The re sults, as far as received, will appear iu an accotn panying paper. From these, with other sources, it is estimated that there are now completed 40,000 miles of railroad, at a cost of nearly $2,000,000,000 ; that 20,000 miles additional are projected and in process of construction ; that the earnings of the American people maybe set down at $7.500,000,000 annually, and that the domestic trade is now nearly $6,000,000,000 a year. Among the agencies which have secured the expansion of American power over this continent, the public land system, in effecting progressive and rapid settlement, stands pre-emi nent. The ruling principle, in its legal constitu tion and uniform administration, has been the dif fusion of democratic civilization, affording choice places for homes to multitudes of actual settlers in different latitudes, yet with climatic variations fading into each other with remarkable serial regu larity: The agricultural and mineral resources of the Union are supplemented by manufacturing facili ties, and diversified industries, in a vast territory not isolated in its parts, like those of Asia, by almost impassable mountains and irreclaimable deserts, but dominated by a matchless river navigation, and extended artificial facilities of intercommunication. %V hat will be the aggregate of domestic trade and the effect upon our foreign commerce when Ameri can resources have been developed? What system of statistics can embody the commercial and indus trial movements of the rich and powerful States which our people, aided by immigration, will ere long plant in unbroken column across this conti nent? There are submitted the following state ments showing the number of acres of public lands surveyed in the laud States and Territories up to June 30, 1868, the quantity remaining unsurveyed, also the area of public lands disposed of under the various laws, all illustrated under 22 different heads, since the commencement of the land system ; esti mates of appropriations required for the office of the Commissioner of the General Land Office for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870 ; those for , the surveying department for the same period.

The hierarchy in fact is a close corporation, in which the members nominate candidates to fill vacancies in their own body, and the Pope appoints at his pleasure, generally selecting one from the list of nominees presented for his approval, but sometimes disregarding that list altogether, and consulting only his own preferences. Thus, however widely liberal ideas may be spread among the lower clergy and the laity, it is next to impossible for any one to become a bishop who is not a zealous pro moter of the Papal prerogatives. There is no part of the world in which the influence of the Roman Court over the Episcopal body is stronger than in the United States." We have, however, another despatch to Berlin from the Roman correspondent of the Berlin Post, who represents the Americans as asking, " Row can we reconcile our position as free citizens of tLe United States with the principles which necessarily follow from the acceptance of the Pope's infallibility, such as religious per secution, the right of Catholicism to exclusive power in the State, and the temporal supremacy of the Pope? Our fellow-countrymen would consider and treat us as parias, and all other religious parties would unite against the com mon enemy, and exclude us from every public office. One of the North American bishops lately said no one ought to be elected Pope who had not passed three years iu the United States, and thus see what a modern liberal Govern ment really is, and what it is possible to do under it." The argument appears to us more material than theologi cal. It was not the good of souls, but the good of bodies the Bishops had in view when they used it. Apropos of bodies, we learn that the mortality amongst the prelates assembled at the Council has been great. The old gen tlemen have been dragged from their quiet firesides, some of them encountering the fatigue of travel from out-of the-way places to be huddled together in discomfort in the Eternal City, which literally becomes their eternal abode. Besides Cardinals Reisach and Pentini several American and oriental Bishops, we understand, have died, and the aged Bishop of Foggia also, whom the Pope went to see to give him his last benediction. Last Wednesday, at the Liverpool Police-court, two young men, named Edward Curtis Steele and Thomas Mortimer. were charged on suspicion of having been con cerned in the recent robbery at the London residence of Mr. Motley, the American Ambassador, when upwards of £2,000 worth of jewellery and plate was stolen. On Tues day the prisoners, who said they were natives of London, offered in pledge to a Mr. Cohen, of Duke-street, Liverpool, a statuette of Victory, which, with its frame or stand, front which other figures, had evidently been broken, are of masivo silver, and of considerable value. Not being satisfied with the answers they gave to Lis que,tions as to how they became p,sse , sed of the property, Mr. Cohen called in the police. There being reason to be lieve that it formed part of the proceeds of the robbery at Mr. P.,lotley's, the American Ambassador, the prisoueri were remauded. COM ..
