CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES.

The news respecting Cuba is more pacific than any that
has arrived since the insurrection broke out. The -United
States Administration seems to have completely changed
its policy. The hopes of the insurgents were raised to
a high point by the exceedingly unwise motion to recog-
nise their independence passed in the Washington House
of Representatives. The unfortunate Cubans now find
the cup dashed from their lips. General Grant's Cabinet
will avoid all complications ; the strictest neutrality will
be preserved ; even the bellicose Senators declaim against
a war with Spain on the ground that it would at least be
expensive. This change of front will, it is expected,
dispose of the insurrection. The Cuban agents in New
York themselves affirm that the insurgents cannot hold
out sixty days without recognition or material aid from
the United States. _

IDIPLOIt Abe CHAN is ES.

Sir Sohn Crampton, our Minister at Madrid, has
tent in his resignation. Sir John was born in Dub-
lin, in 1807, and his father was Sir Philip Crampton,
an eminent surgeo:), The son was educated at Eton
and Trinity College, Dublin. Entering the diplo-
matic service, he rose by successive steps until he
became Minister at Washington. Isis career there
was cut short by a quarrel between the United States
Government and our o*ri, During the Russian war we
recruited for troops in America; this was resented
lwast
by the statesmen at Washington, and the. dispute
grew so serious that Sir John Crampton had to
return home in 1800, In the following year he
re
presentedranserreraed tigoitamilithaetntche to eCsotti.rtpoefterlaunrogveinr.
1858, and to Madrid in 1800. Lately he has had
a great deal of work on his hands. The
Tornado and Victoria outrages
involved an
.
immense amount of negotiation. Then came the
fall of the reigning dynasty, and now the dispute
about the Mary Lowell. It is not stated if Sir John's
resignation is his own act, but it may readily be
imagined that a younger and more energetic man is
required at the Spanish Court; especially as the
cession of Gibraltar is sure to be demanded so soon
as the Spaniards have a settled Government.
To-day Mr. Reverdy Johnson takes leave of
Lord Clarendon, nal will present Mr. 73. Moran as
charge aires until the arrival of Mr. Motley.
Few diplomatifes have had • so unfortunate a career
as Mr. Johnson. Ile came to this country full of
goodwill, and his advent was heralded by announce-
ments of peace and concord. Ile arranged a con-
vention by which all disputes between his Govern-
ment and ours were to be settled. Ile travelled
up and down the country making pacificatory and
conciliatory speeches. But the more amiable he was
the more angry grew his • fellow-countrymen, until
at last they absolutely refused to accept an arrange-
ment, which -was one of the greatest triumphs
American diplomacy has ever won. Mr. Johnson re=
turns to his own country re inftctd, and is succeeded

ELECTIONS IN SCOTLAND.

Envy may be a very bail thing, but if all that is
said is correct, one cannot help envying the Scotch
their electoral purity. The evidence given before
the Parliamentary Elections Committee, now sitting,
shews what an effect education has upon a country
in this respect. There is no bribery; there is no
corruption at all in boroughs. In the counties there
is oppression by the higher classes upon tradesmen,
and fictitious voters are made occasionally by the
Conservatives ; otherwise all is pure. A man who
takes a bribe is looked upon as a thief. Would that
it was so in England.

THE ALABAMA DISPUTE.

The information of the Times correspondent leads him
to the conclusion, now adopted by most people, that the
negotiations for the settlement of the Alabama dispute
will be entirely suspended. Mr. Fish, the rew Secretary
of State, gives out that Mr. Motley will take no
prescribed instructions to England ; that he will
be authorised to treat on the basis of Senator
Sumner's speech ; that the Secretary believes this
will be declined ; and that, in such an event, Mr.
Motley is to wait and not revive the matter unless here-
after specially instructed to do so, leaving the question an
open one, a position which the Secretary thinks will he
advantageous to the United States. Mr. Chandler's
foolish talk about Canada is treated with ridicule, even
in quarters where he might have expected support.
Mr. Gould, of the United States, writes to the Time
on the friendly relations between England and America,
protesting that Englishmen should not accept an individual
utterance as an expression of official opinion or of popular
feeling. Mr. Sumnerhasneverbeen anything but an imprac-
ticable theorist. It is of no significance that hiaspeech was
printed by order of the Senate. President Grant is an
eminently practical man, and the Americans a pre-
eminently practical people. "An American Citizen"
also writes on this subject, and declares that the United
States was never less inclined to go to war with Great
Britain than at present. The real grievance of the
Americans is that the Alabama was in truth an English
vessel, and remained so in law and conscience. There is
not a respectable minority in any party that would justify
an attempt to wrest the Canadas from the British Crown.

FREE TRADE V. PROTECTION.

The American Protectionists begin to perceive that
their cause i 3 in some danger. The movement in favour
of Free :Trade has become so active that the Protec-
tionists have resolved to get up a counter agitation. They
held a meeting in Philadelphia on the 9th of May, and
though we do not learn the precise result of their delibera-
tions, we find that they contrived to betraythe weakness of
their case by slanderinz their opponents. The circular con.
veiling the meetinz was si,-ned by manufacturers and

IMPERIAL FARLI ADI EN

HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

TENANTS' PURCHASE BY INSTALMENTS
(IRELAND) BILL.
Lord DUNSANY moved the second reading of thia
bill, the 'object of which was to legalise the sys-
tem of tenants purchasing land and paying the
price of it by instalments, a system which, he
thought, would be of great advantage in Ireland, be-
cause whilst there were provisions to protect the landlord,
there wcro also enactments to save the tenant from
loss where the purchase was not wholly carried out.
The bill proposed that the instalments should be paid
every five years, and where default was made the money
already raid should be looked upon as so much rent re-
ceived, for which the payer should hold the land for
specified time. Ile did not think it was possible to pass the
bill during the present session, but by reading it a second
time would cause it to be fully considered in Ireland
during the time the sitting of Parliament was suspended.
Lord D UFFERIN said he had fully considered the bills
but he found that the landlords at present possessed
all the power which the bill now under consideration
proposed to give them, and therefore the measure vi'f°
altogether unnecessary. As the whole subject of Lana
Tenure in Ireland was to be considered next session, lie
thou„ht it would be the wisest course to withdraw the
bill for the present.
Lord CAIRNS also advised his noble friend to witbdralf
the bill, because if it was read a second time now it might
give rise to wrong impressions out of doors that their
lordships were dealing in a limited way with a great
question that was to be duly consilred next year.

The bill was then withdrawn.
TENURE (IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of CLANRIOARDE said ho did not in-
tend to proceed further with this bill, which stood for
committee that evening, and therefore he moved that the
order be discharged. In the event of a better bill nos
being brought forward next session by the Government,
he would re-introduce the measure, and carry it on as
speedily as the forms of the house would enable bi1:11
to do.

The order was accordingly discharged.
COUNTY COURTS (ADMIRALTY JURISDICTION)

BILL.

Lord HOUGHTON moved the second reading of tbill

A STOR3L-THE CABLE BROKEN.

But the most trying, the most exciting time, was during
a storm on the last days of June. Ihe following is an ex-
tract from the diary on page July 1 :—" On the afternoon
of the 29th the weather began to change ; the sky was
overcast, and a breeze spr4ng up from the south. This
continued to increase till, by ten or eleven p.m. (when
most of us turn in '), it was blowing half a gale of wind.
One could not help thinking that if any fault occurred
during the continuance of the night wind all might
not go so well. The gong aroused us from our
slumbers at five a.m. cn the morning of the 30th.
The ship was stopped, and picking up was com-
menced as quickly and as easily as on any other
occasion, but the movement of the ship was several times
greater than it had been at former times. The wind had
increased in the night, and now it was blowing a gale,
and in order to keep the stern of the ship directly over
the line of the cable it was necessary to Lack her almost at
full speed directly against both wind and waves. This, of
course, made her kick and heave tremendously, and three
or four times she shipped green seas over her stern, fairly
drenching those on duty there, and breaking the little
gallery an Ltd the stern V wheel. Orders were given
to be in readiness to buoy the cable if necessary ;
but, as the fault was pronounced to be close at hand, the
process of picking up was continued till about G ve knots had
come on board, when, a heavier sea than usual striking
the ship, she gave a kick so sudden and severe that the
cable was unable to Lear the extra strain thrown upon it,
and it parted on beard, some 2CO feet beyond the drum.
All check being thus suddenly r, moved !rem the cable,
the drum began to revolve with great rapidity, and
the broken end to make frightfully rapid progress
towards the stern of the ship, over which it would
have disappeared in a very few seconds had not
the stout fellows on duty with the stoppers put forth their
utmost strength, and so managed to save the French
Atlantic Cable literally by a few inches. The buoy was
in readiness, and in an incredibly short space of time the
buoy-rope was made fast to the end of the cable, and the
buoy itself cast adrift. Two other buoys were then let
go—one by the Great Eastern, and another by the Sean-
deria—to serve as mark-buoys should any accident
befall the buoy which held the end of the cable and
grappling become necessary. The Great Eastern be-
haved as she alone could behave under a storm.
She was not absolutely steady of course, but rolled tole-
rably freely, and pitched slightly now and again. During
the whole time that the wind continued we were able to
assemble at mess, and take our meals not only without
discomfort or inconvenience, but even with great decorum
and uerfect regularity."

LORD NAPIER OF lIAGDALA.

The resignation of Lord Napier of Magdala as
Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay army is to be
attributed, the Indian papers tell us, to private
affairs, which have made him for some time desirous
of returning home. But the military men of India
are said to cherish the belief that one of the objects
of his return to this country is to prepare for
taking the command of the whole Indian army
on the expiration of Sir William Mansfield's
of office. What more natural, say they, than
that,considering the magnitude of the changes which
tenure
must be introduced into the Indian army within the
noxt few years, the Secretary of State should desire
to have the coining Commander-in-Chief near him
for a few months, to facilitate consultation ? The
Times of India trusts the surmise is correct.

FOREIGN NOTES.

TIM CAALISTS IN SPAIN.

The fight between the Carlists and the Government
troops near Ciudad Real terminated in the complete dis-
comfiture of the former. Their leader was wounded, a
colonel killed, and the band—numbering 500 or 600—
entirely dispersed. This check, however, has not put an
end to the movement. At Cordova and in the North the
agitation still goes on. At Tarancon the volunteers have
set upon a Carlist party and defeated them. More plots
have been discovered. One of these was a very formidable
affair—nothing less than a conspiracy to seize the citadel
of Pampeluna, with the aid, it would seem, of treachery
in the citadel itself. This scheme has been baffled, and
the conspirators have met with very severe treatment.
The principal Carlist agent was killed, and a priest, a
retired officer, an artillery captain, and two other agents—
one of them a marquis—were captured. Pampeluna
is in the far north, several hundred miles from the scene
of Saturday's engagement—a further testimony to the
extensive character of the movement.

The weight of evidence now points to the conclusion that
Dou Carlos has crossed the frontier, and is now in Spain.
The Prcsse, which a day or two ago said he was at Fon-
tainebleau, row admits that he is no longer there. He
left his residence, says this journal, on Saturday, with a
dozen attendants. and has entered Spain.

TILE CABLE LOST AND RECOVERED AGAIN.

It was thought that now nothing but a trifle remained
to be done ; so on July 13, when the splice was being
made between the two ends, everybody looked compla-
cently on the work. The Great Eastern had recovered
the shore end of the cable, and the William Cory was
picking up the Atlantic end, when a cry was raised th%t
the pin of one of the shackles uf the buoy rope had broken,
and she had lost the cable. "We could not say how soon
fogs might come again; no time was to be lost; so, with
less than an hour's delay, Sir Samuel Canning and staff was
safely on board the Cory, and grappling commenced about
11 a.m., the ship going to windward of the line of cable,
and drifting slowly across it. At 4.30 p.m., after three
or four fruitless attempts, she signalled that she had the
cable at her bows. Considering that the depth here was
eighty fathoms, this certainly was a most rapid piece of
grappling. By 11 p.m. the recovered end had been spliced
to the shore end, and Brest and St, Pierre were placed in
electric cclinzaapicatiml:

A MAIIE'S NEST.

There have been floating about the lobbies of the
House of Commons some very ugly rumours thi!
week, rumours which have given Liberal party men
some uneasiness, and have made the Conservative!
hopeful of a triumph such as they have not had this
session. It will be remembered that some time back
Mr. Layard, without parliament try authority, and
without consulting even his colleagues, sanctioned
an outlay of £5,500 for mosaic work to be
carried out in the central hall of the
P:-rliamentary Palace. The indiscretion raised
a great storm in the House, and Mr. Layard con-
fessed he had acted improperly. But more of the
affair has been talked of outside the House. The
comp,sny with whom the contract was made was one
in which Mr. Layard himself was interested; for last
January the name of the Chief Commissioner of
Works was down on the list of shareholders.
The scandal was whispered from mouth
to ear, and talked of as a most serious
affair. When it further became known that
one of Mr. Layard's relatives was still a member of
the company, it was known that there would be a
revelation to the House. Mr. Cecil Ilaikes made
the exposure on Monday night. Mr. Layard
answered the question at once, to the satisfac-
tion of all who heard him. The facts as stated were
true enough. He, being an admirer of art,
had formed one of a company of thirty-two,
to bring into prominence a discovery by Salviati.
Ile had resigned so late as January last. He had
also sanctioned the contract ; but ho had not made
it. It was made by Mr. Barry without his know-
ledge, and he was much surprised when it W2s brought
before him. Though officially responsible for the
contract, personally he was not so. So that the
Standard yesterday morning, while commending Mr.
Ilai!ces, says, " A more satisfactory ending there
could not have been."

WILD TALK.

As a rule disestablished Churchmen seem rather
to be thinking how to avert the ills that may be
kept off than to be brooding on the stroke which has
fallen upon them. But many Orangemen are still
looking for vengeance, and an attempt to stir up a
"repeal" agitation is being made. A specimen of
the talk which these furious repealers indulge in
appears in a letter from "Robert F. Boyle" to the
Dub/in 11/liza

" The Bright-Gladstone Church Robbery Bill having
become the law of the land, I trust that all Protestant
Irishmen will now unite in endeavouring to procure the
' Repeal of the Union.' From the Government that now
rules them, they must see that all they can expect is the
rifle and the bayonet ; that juries are packed to convict
them ; whilst the venno is changed to a friendly county,
when other interests are at stake ; the Party Processions

taken by the [lonic Secretary touching the groundless
charge brought by police constables against three
young men of respectable position. It will be re-
membered that three clerks were recently appre-
hended in the Haymarket whilst returnlng
from late duty, and were charged the next
morning with being drunk and with riotous be-
haviour. Independent witnesses, however, came for-
ward and swore that the young men were not drunk
nor riotous, that the police had acted without
reason or provocation, and had brutally ill-treated
their victims. Both evidence and accompanying
circumstances were against the police, and the young
men were accordingly set at liberty, tne magistrate
giving his opinion that the policemen had been
guilty of perjury. This flagrant case was brought
before the home Secretary the other day. Mr.
Bruce informed the House of Commons that the
matter had had his careful consideration. and that

INCIDENTS.

Several incidents are described from July 4th to the
12th. Slight gales gave a little variety. The ships
changed their course on July 9, to get clear of the fishing
banks, where the cable might be caught some fine day
instead of cod. Under date July 11, there is a record of
a kink. "A kink occurred in the coil as it was passing
out; the engines were reversed in an instant (obeying a
signal transmitted from the tank), but luckily the kink
straightened itself before reaching the jockey titi heels of the
paying-out gear, so that but for the stopping of
the ship we should have known nothing of this
little accident." Under date of July 12, he
writes :—" Rain downpouring in torrents was suc-
ceeded by a very thick mist, which caused great
uneasiness. Nothing could be done in it. The dense mist
hemmed us in completely ; it whirled up and down the
decks in thick white rouleaux, and enveloped the yards
and masts in dim obscurity, condensing on the rigging,
and falling like a thick rain upon the deck. At nine a.m.
this morning we had reached, it was thought, that spot to
which the William Cory had brought the shore end from
St. Pierre; but it was, of course, impossible to discover
the buoy which held the end. As there v.as no probability
of the fog clearing off for some of hours (the wind being in
the south), it was deemed advisable to pay out a good
amount of slack, and buoy the cable, and then when the
fog cleared, it would be a simple matter to pick up both
buoys, splice the two ends of cable together, and so corn-
)lete the line. This idea was carried out.

TILE CIZOPS.

The farmer, people say, is always complain!ng.
Either his wheat, his oats, h:s turnips, or something
is going on badly. The grass is scorched, or the
wheat has no ripening sun. his peas and bean:
want moisture, or his roots are rotting. The general
complaints this week are two. In the absence of
rain, the sun is scorching the grass, and
spoiling the cereals on light soils ; the
lice have attaciced the wheat iii many dis -
tr:cts, and the peas in others. As a rule, however,
the reror:s from all parts are satisfactory. The
wheat in sonic counties is spoken of ircst, hopcfnLy,
and in none is anything like a Lilrre antecipattd,
except Vie lice do more serious damage and more
generally infest the plant tLan is thought of now.

A letter from "P. L. M. Cartwright" appears in
the Times, the writer of which advocates the adop-
tion of thin sowing. Ile sows only a bushel cer acre
of both wheat and barley, with the best results. Ofi
some acres this year he gathers two pecks. In order
to prove to his sceptical friends that thin sowing is
good, he has sown two bushels per acre side. by side
with that thinly sown, and the " difference iu the
appearance netween tne two quantities is very
striking."

RECOVERED.

Towards the afternoon the weather moderated ; and by
six :o'clock July 2 the tempest had dwindled to a calm.
All being prepared, a boat was lowered with a few expe-
rienced "bands" in her, who soon managed to attach the
chain of the buoy to a stout rope conveyed from the ship.
The later was then cast adrift, and once more the cable,
banished for a time, was hanging from the Great Eastern.
Picking up then commenced, and by half-past seven the
end of the cable bad come over the stern of the ship, and
an hour later the electricians pronounced the fault to be
on board. Splicing commenced forthwith, and by 10.30,
to the unspeakable delight of everyone, they were again
"paying out" and making way westward. This was the
first time in the history of submarine telegraphy that a
cable bad been cut, buoyed, and picked up again in such
deep water during the process of laying.
