found an office worthy of her—one that would
have especially commended itself to the genius
and ambition of her gifted creator. The idea of
uniting the constituents of bridging the space
between the Old World and the New—of draw-
ing so closely the ties of kinship and goodwill
between the mother country and her most daring
and high-spirited child, would have been one most
congenial to the designer of so many vast and noble
works, whose dreams were sometimes too grand
and too ambitious for accurate fulfilment. The
great ship, his latest achievement, which at one time
occasioned him no small amount of labour, of
anxiety, and of mortification, has been most suit-
ably engaged in a work which, if not entirely
novel in character, is so in extent, in the magnitude
of its aims, and of its probable consequences. The
name of the ship .which carried the cable
will assuredly be closely associated with
the enterprise, and those who have
mourned or ridiculed the " unlucky " ship
have been very effectually put to silence by the
Great Eastern herself, who has given.. us conclusive
evidence that she is sometimes at least a
most propitious vessel. We may learn from
the good news of yesterday how important
it is not to despair in a work of this kind, and how
impossible it is to foretell the result of a scientific
expedition. Nature sometimes proves herself too
wise for man, and rebukes his presumption ; but,
like Fortune, she favours the brave, and it is not
often an earnest and resolute endeavour fails of
attaining eventual success.

The cession of Venetia has naturally given rise to
a great deal of discussion in many quarters, and the
great object has not been achieved without sacrifices
on all sides. Austria, of course, has had to lose the
most, but the Italians themselves have not gained
all they expected. The French E3IPEROR has had
a very difficult part to play ; but, it must be ad-
mitted by all, that he has extricated himself from
his embarrassing position with great dexterity. A
treaty has been made to the effect that the Emperor
FRANCIS JOSEPH has made over the territory to the
Emperor NAPOLEON. In consequence the trans-
fer of the Lombardo-Venetia kingdom will
be made by an Austrian Commissioner to the
French Commissioner, who is now at Venetia. The
French delegate will then proceed to settle with
the Venetian authorities for the transfer of the
rights of possession, the only reservation that the
French EMPEROR has made being for the population
to make their decision on the future destiny of the
country. The Emperor NAPOLEON has written a
letter to King VICTOR EMMANUEL, in which he
states that he views with satisfaction a new era of
tranquillity opening for Eutope. In this communi-
cation he declares that he accepted the offer of
Venetia "in order to preserve her from
any devastation, and to - prevent useless
bloodshed," his intention always having been
to restore in order that Italy might be free from
the " Alps to the Adriatic." " Mistress of her des-
tinies, Venetia will soon be able to express her
wishes by universal suffrage. The Emperor con-
cludes by declaring that in this matter the action
of France has again been exercised in favour of
humanity and the independence of the peoples."
This is all very true, but still the fact remains that
it is through the agency of France that Italy has
acquired this long-sought-for possession, and that
the French EMPEROR has virtually dictated to
her how and in what manner she is to
receive the treasure. This is not the con-
summation which the Italians had hoped for,
and they must feel some disappointment at the
turn events have taken. Still we are glad to find
that all those feelings are now subsiding in intensity,
and that peace is evidently to be the chief object
uppermost in the thought of all ; and, in order to
effect this desirable end, all considerations that take
time are to be put off until after the peace treaty
has been signed, the principles of which have been
settled.

The Prussians are also working hard in order to
put things straight again, and no doubt they find
that they have enough, and more than enough, to
do in the undertaking. It is said in some quarters
that more annexations are contemplated than the
world has already realised by this time, but in all
probability sufficient changes have been made for
the present, and M. BISMARK will wait a little
while before he advances in any other direction.
The Grand Duchy of Baden, Bavaria, and Wur-
temburg are very likely, before long, to be added
to the number of Prussian acquisitions; but it is
'no exaggeration to state that the work before
the Berlin Government is already quite over-
whelming, and that the Chamber will find much

European power which had willingly aided in the
establishment of the new unity of Germany. The
European Powers estimate the "unity " business
fur what it is worth, and are not very desirous of
being mixed up in its transactions. If the Prus-
sians think they are succeeding in their endeavour
to deceive the world by their professions of nation-
ality they will find themselves very much mis-
taken in the long run. A short time will suffice to
show how little sincerity there is in all this, and
how little freedom will be possessed by those who
aro unfortunate enough to have come under the
jurisdiction of Prussia.

Mr. GOLDWIN SMITE( IS the last adherent to the
cause of the Jamaica Committee, and seems to have
aimed at out-ileroding HEROD in his style and lan-
guage. He has addressed a letter to the editor of
the Beehive, in which he gives utterance to opinions
that are most discreditable to his judgment, and
shows how bitter and unscrupulous he is in his
comments upon men and mato. Not only is the
