THE CUBAN PRIVATEER HORNET.

The case of the Hornet appears to be occasioning some
perplexity at Washington. On the one hand, the release
of the ship is clamoured for by Cuban sympathisers ; on
the other, it is feared that her release will furnish England
with an unanswerable argument in the Alabama dispute.
The ship, it is said, was formerly the blockade runner
Lady Sterling. The case, which is exciting great atten-
tion in the united States, is assuming an international
character. The Cabinet at Washington, according to the
New York Times, has decided to take no action
until the case presents a question requiring it.
The same authority states that in a consultation
between the President, the Secretary of the Treasury, a
Secretary of the Interior, and the Attorney-General, it
was maintained that in view of the circumstances under
which the Hornet escaped to the high seas, the Govern
meat was free from all responsibility and not bound to
make any special effort for her capture, though
it was resolved she should be seized if she came
within their jurisdiction and could only be treated as a
pirate if she pretended to fly a Cuban flag. Orders were
given by the Treasury Department to refuse her supplies,
and a few days after the Hornet was seizeJ. The awe wts
opened at Wilmington, on October 11th, by Mr. Loury, of
New York, who appeared with Colonel Davis, late Attorney-
General for the Confederate States, for the Republic of Cuba.
The commission of Commodore Higgins as an officer of the
Cuban navy was read, and also a formal protest by him
against the exercise of jurisdiction by the civil courts over
his ship, she being a public ship of war of a recognised
nation. At the conclusion of his protest, Commodore
Higgins declares it to be untrue that the vessel has in
any of her preparations offended against the neutrality
laws of the United States of America in the manner
charged, or in any other manner. It was not until after
clearing from a British port, more than twenty days of ter
leaving the United States, that the Cuba, as she is now
called, was sold and delivered to the Republic of Cuba,
and all the proceedings were conducted with a careful
respect for the rights and dignity of the United States.
In order to give the Government time to produce wit-
nesses, the case was adjourned for a few days.

FAILURE OF THE WHALE FISHING'.

The Dundee Advertiser says :—" The steamship Polynia,
commanded by Captain William Walker, and belonging to
the Dundee Seal and Whale Fishing Company; has arrived
from the Davis' Straits whale fishing. The Polynia brings
(says our contemporary) home two common whales and
forty-one white whales, which, it is calculated, will yield
about twenty-six tons of oil. Prom the news which this
vessel brings, it is to be feared that the whale fishing at
Davis' Straits this year has proved almost a complete
failure, It has undoubtedly been one of the most unfor-
tunate seasons for the whalers that has occurred for• a
long time; for, as far as can be learned in the meantime,
the few tons brought home by the Polynia will exhibit
the total catch of the entire flzet of some dozen ships
hailing from Dundee.

ECONOMY.

Several announcements are just made of more
changes in our Government services, consequent oa
the economical policy of the Ministry. The Indian
Office is, according to the Broad Arrow, to undergo
reform—which is, by the way, much needed in the
department. The United Service Gazette tell us
that the Admiralty have determined to reduce
the coastguard service afloat, as well as on
shore; ten cruisels at present employed are
to be sold. The Army and Navy Gazette states
that one of the recommendations of the Royal Com-
mission on Military Education will, if followed, have
the. effect of abolishing:, or of very greatly reducing,
the establishment ofthe Council Ot Military Ed ncation,

THE STORMS IX AMERICA.

The town of Eastport, in Maine, was visited on the 4th
of October by a fearful hurricane, which destroyed vessels,
wharves, and stores. Great quantities of fish and oil were
also lost. A large part of the town is said to be a total
wreck, and the damage is roughly estimated at half a million
dollars. The destruction of life and property at sea was
very great. The steamer New York narrowly escaped
being driven ashore without either anchor or rudder.
Twenty-seven vessels were on the following day ashore in
Rumney's Bay, and a schooner was lost with all on board.
Seventeen persons also went down with a barque at New
River. The neighbouring towns suffered severely, and the
Swift River, in Oxford County, Maine, rose thirty-six feet
in twelve hours, doing immense damage. The people
living near barely escaped with their lives to the moun-
tains, carrying their children in their arms.
THE " TIMEB " AND TEUPERANCE.

The leading journal is getting anxious about the
temperance question. The Archbishop of York's
admonition to the clergy to exert themselves
in checking the national vice, Dr. Temple's presence
at the Alliance meeting, and the Bishop of Ely's
visitation charge are very serious symptoms. It
would not do for a journal which aims at keeping
pace with public opinion to be backward in a move-
ment which is taking such a prominent position.
Accordingly Saturday's issue contained a temperance
feeler. Tho Times agrees that the object of the
United Kingdom Alliance is worthy enough; but
objects to the means by winch it 1. plupuava W Leauli
the end. Men ought not to bo " debarred at the will
of others from their right to a useful, and perhaps
necessary, product of nature. There is good reason
for thinking that, without putting it in the power of
a majority to banish public-houses, they might be
more proportioned to the number of the population,
and their use might be in some further re-
spects limited." It may be as well to observe that
the primary object of the Alliance is not to forcibly
debar men from the very beneficial and useful article
alluded to ; but to debar them from obtaining it in a
manner which is a public danger and a nuisance, and
of their neighbours.

COMMERCIAL CHRISTIANITY.

The fever of speculation drove more than ono
broker mad during the strife of that memorable Sep-
tember day in the New York Gold-room. Some
such misfortune, too, seems to have befallen the
journalists who have been reviewing the battle and
the combatants. The editors of the .New York
Herald in particular ought all to be subjected to the
salutary influence of strait-jackets. Nothing that
was ever penned in America, not even by the men of
the Herold themselves, can approach the extrava-
gance of these ct•mments on the late speculation. The
Herald terms one speculator, Gould, a " gold-jobbing
gorilla." Fisk is a "ring-tailed orang-outang ;"
whilst nothing in nature can l)e compared to Corbin—
he is an "outrageous freak," a "perplexing nonde-
script." Mr. Fisk himself designates a brother-specu-
lator as " the biggest toad in the puddle," which,
considering that Mr. Fisk himself was in the puddle,
is rather a candid admission.

THE MIGHTY FALLEN.

A. significant item of intelligence comes by Atlantic
Cable. Mr. Andrew Johnson, ex-President of the
United States, has stood for election as Senator for
the State of Tennessee, and has boon defeated by Mr.
Henry Cooper. Mr. Johnson himself had great hopes
that he would be able to re-enter public life in the
United States Senate • but though he "stumped "
with indefatigable zeal, he has been rejected. His
political career must surely be finished now, for if
his native State will not have him, where can he hope
for success ?

EAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN.
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible oven to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.

brated the first anniversary of the declaration of Cuban
Independanco. Tho flag of Cuba was seen flying upika
the Metropolitan, Grand and other hotels, and ti; the rooms
of the Junta in the Broadway. Later in the day many

receptions at their houses in the course cf the day.
The demonstration in the park took place in the afternoon
and was intended to consist cf music and a salute of 100

were brought to an abrupt termination, after twenty-five
rounds had been fired, by the premature discharge of the
gun, injuring the right arm of one of the gunners so badly
as to render amputation necessary. The event cast a gloom

TESTIIIONIALS.

Amid a vast chaos of private speculation on bishops,
beggars, and steam-rollers, the Tunes finds room for
a letter on an important subject, which has scarcely
received the attention it deserves. " A Public School-
master," in view of several high scholastic appoint-
ments becoming vacant, writes to protest against
the system of testimonials. Tho practice of de-
manding such credentials is ignominious to the
sufferer: and injurious to the public interest. It
is a degradation to a scholar and a gentleman to bo
compelled to beg his friends to praise him. The
system is no safeguard, since the wording of a testi-
monial depends much more upon the character of
the writer than on the merits of the receiver. People
who are insincere or complaisant will write any sort
of praise ; those who aro narrow-minded or ill-disposed
may often suppress really just testimony. "I have read
scores of testimonials, and in not a few of them I
have seen.men accredited- with virtues and acquire-

THE. LONG EATON ACCIDENT.

We have not yet hoard the last of that strange
coroner's inquest on the victims by the Long Eaton
railway accident. The Rev. F. Atkinson, vicar of
Long Eaton, who was present at the inquiry, adds his
voice to the general complaint. Three stationmasters
must have had more or less knowledge of the acci-
dent and its causes, and yet none of them were called
to give evidence. It is doubtful whether the
arrangements with reference to the times
for starting the various trains from Not-
tingham on the night of the accident had not
been left to the discretion of the Nottingham station;
master. In any case, this official would probably
have been able to give some information as to the
cause of the remarkable knot of four trains being
brought all together on the line. But neither ho nor
the stationmaster at Beeston, nor the one at Atten-
borough, were asked a question. The pointsman at
Long Eaton Junction was not examined respecting the
cause of the obstruction which stopped the excursion
train. The Vicar complains that, though the com-
pany were represented at the inquest by their solicitor,
yet certain officials, and especially the general manager,
were present, and took a peisonal part in the pro-
ceedings. Their wishes respecting the selection of
witnesses to be examined were allowed—the rev.
gentleman thinks, more weight than was consistent
with due impartiality. The Vicar states that he him-
self was summoned to act on the jury, and presented
himself accordingly, but was rejected by the coroner,
on the ground that his clerical office was a disqualifi-
cation. If this be the case, the law has been grossly
violated by coroners in other parts of the country.
Not Jong ago a clergyman acted as foreman at a
very important inquest.

A Ministerial declaration has been made to the Chamber
of Deputies at Berlin on the subject of the sequestrated
revenues of the Kingof Hanover and the Elector of Hesse.
The Government does not feel called upon to render an
exact account of the affair to the Chambers, but it is inti-
mated that the expenses entered into in combating the
hostile efforts of these princes, have pretty well exhausted
the resources of the ex-King.
