THE SUN.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1861.

Galway is looking up—the " Atlantic Royal
Mail Steamship Adriatic" has made the voyage in
five days from St. John's, Newfoundland, to Gal-
way. We are not indeed quite sure whether the
wires are restored and that we have the full
benefit of the rapid passage, but it shows what
can be done. The latest news reaches to the
28th. It consists chiefly of details for which we
refer to the telegrams. Gunboats on the Potomac
and the rebels appear to have frequent skir-
mishes, and other small engagements unimportant
to the general result have taken place. The
Federal Government has recognised the new
Provisional Government of Virginia, which or-
ganised itself on account of the treason of the
old Government to retain Virginia in the Union.
The war in Virginia is now, therefore,
against only the Eastern part, and the
Federal forces under General M'LELLAND aro
cooperating actively with the Western Virgi-
nians. In the Border States the Union cause is
gaining strength rapidly. Maryland has had her
elections for Congress, and the Union men, after
all, have a large majority. In Missouri the
Unionists were numerous also, and General LYON
has met promptly, and thus far successfully, the
attempt of the traitor Governor to raise a large
army. Probably the remainder of the Kansas
Ruffians will, however, fight fiercely there. At
present, indeed, in fierce skirmishing and guerilla
fighting, the re bele have had the best of it, but in

regard to the i nain movements they are percepti-
bly retreating av the Northerns advance.
The 4th of Juiy had, as we anticipated, its com-
memoration here as well as in America, though
some doubt appears to have been entertained as to
the propriety o f holding it in so sad a year of the
States' history . The view taken, however, was
quite right—that for Americans abroad to have
been silent this year would have been to " send
the chill of death to their brethren at
home, and bt, n'xt door to treason." The
tone of the meeting was all we could wish.
The chairman, the eloquent Dr. PATTON, of New
York (an able letter from whom recently appeared
in The Sun), prayed at the commencement of the
breakfast for the extinction of slavery, and stated
well and tersely the principles essential to liberty
which Ihad been: violated by the North. Two
English Dissenting clergymen, one of them the
Hon. and Rev. BAPTIST NOEL, spoke well also at
the meeting, and. the effect of the whole will be
good on the feeling between this country and
America. We A.re pleased to observe that in
many quarters the absurd misunderstanding of
English views and feelings is giving place to
juster notions, rind we quite expect that, ere
Ling, it will be, owned that our Government
could not have acted more justly, humanely, and
wisely.

!Wonders will certainly never cease—who would
have believed in a LEVER, powerful enough to lift
the Austrian Empire itself out of all its difficulties ?
Yet such is the announcement. In our youthful
studies on the mechanical powers we learned some
lines as aids to memory which we have found so
ustful, that we think we remember them even now
—and thus thcy ran—
" Of lever r rowers the different kinds are three,
The first it steelyards and in scales we see;
The best, a second, is the Miller's lift,
Where poN zer and fulcrum to each end you shift;
But in the third, the worst of all, my friend,
You find ¢l Le weight and fulcrum at each end."
A fourth kind having, however, been found out we
must venture an addition to the old distiches—and
it may run thu.3

" Still of a fourth the Austrian Court can tell,
That lever's name is LizvEß—JanN ORRELT.."
Our readers ma y perhaps remember that they have
heard of it bei'ore. Its stupendous powers were
tried in connect ion with a certain Galway Company,
which, indeed, ammo to grief, not however through
any deficiency in the machinery, but through the
base Whig Savanacbs, who, however, nearly came
to Grief themselves for their atrocious demand that
an Irish Comp Any should fulfil its contract.
Our readers may
wish to know a little about the
application of this potent agency to Austria. For
