;‘ IMPORTANT FRO3I CUBA.

" We have private advices by telegraph, from our
Washington correspondent, which represent the con-
dition of our relations with Cuba as being less satisfac-
tory than has been reported hitherto. Dispatches
have been received at the State department, from Mr.
Campbell, our Consul at Savannah, by the steamer
Isabel, dated June Bth, in which he states that the cap-
tains of the Georgiana and the Sarah Loud will proba-
bly be executed by the Spanish authorities, unless' the
United States Government immediately and perempto-
rily interferes. The other prisoners, it was believed,
would be treated with less severity. This was the im-
pression, not only of the consul, but of the American
shipmasters and others in. Savannah.
Mr. Campbell asks for positive instructions, peremp-
torily to demand the surrender of the prisoners, fearing
that no other interference would have any effect. The
tenor of his dispatches leads our correspondent to infer
that at the time they were written Mr. Campbell had
w a
understood
notT received Mr. Clayton's instructions of the let instant.

law. The fate of the prisofilerspwrre"sf , o course, uncer-
tain, unless Mr. Clayton' d' • s dispatches should be re•
ceived before the matter was closed ; their totib and
tenour could hardly fail to have some effect
upon the
Spanish authorities.
"The Spanish Minister has not been seen since the
arrival of the Isabel, his views, and the tenour of dis-
patches ho may have received, aro therefore unknown.
The aspect of aff ars is still a little threatening. The
Administration is disposed and determined to hold the
Cuban authorities to the most rigid accountability for
any injury they may inflict upon American citizens not
guilty of participation in the invasion. The next dis-
patches from Mr. Campbell will be looked for with deep
,
anxiety.
Thus, then, on the authorit of the Cabinet and
y ,
circulated by the organs of the Cabinet, we are
_la-
formed of almost the positive certainty that a war
with Spain must grow out of the recent compli-

cated affairs between the United States and the
Cuban authorities, that is if we are to believe
them, and one of those organs goes FO far as to
say, hat the Administration is determined to declare
war, without reference to the disposition or ac-
tion of Congress. In this, however, they go a little
too fast ahead. Neither the President nor the Cabi-
net has any power under the Constitution to declare
war, no matter how much soever they may, for their
own purposes, be inclined to do so, without the pre-
vious sanction and concurrence of Congress. It is
very true that Mr. Polk, in bringing on the war with
Mexico, took almost the whole responsibility of that
event on his own shoulders ; but he was aided and
assisted by the audacity, folly, and impertinence of
the Mexican military authorities on the Rio Grande.
The Mexicans made the attack, and General Taylor,
the commander of the American troops on the border,
was put on the defensive, and the two countries were
involved in war without any previous declaration
sanctioned by Congress. It is doubt Ail if Spain will
give the Galphin Cabinet such a chance.
In the event of a rupture between the Spanish au-
thorities in Cuba and the United States, growing out
of our present difficulties, we cannot perceive, how-
-1 ever, how war can grow out of it without its first
being authorised by Congress, and a debate and dis-
cussion had upon it in the old and regular way. Per-
haps, however, Mr. Clayton and the Galphin Cabinet
intend to imitate the policy of Mr. Polk, in bringing
on the Mexican war ' • and if we are to believe their
organs, they have already made up their minds to
bring about a collision between Spain and the United
States, on their own responsibility, and without the
previous sanction or concurrence of Congress, or
without Spain, or the Spanish authorities in Cuba,
giving any occasion for it. It may be done,
too—but smart as the Cabinet are, in their own
estimation, we hardly think they will have
an opportunity—but if such an event should
be the result of the present complication
of affairs, all the technical questions arising
under the treaty, or the laws of 1813, will be
entirely set aside, and the whole impulse and soul of
the nation will be given to carrying on the war, with
the same force as was that with Mexico. If the na-
tions of Europe should be neutral—we mean France
and England—and allow the United States and Spain
to fight it out, there can be little doubt of the result
of the contest. In less than six months all the au-
thority of Spain in Cuba arid Porto Rico would be
entirely annulled and set aside. A great deal of dan-
ger and damage, however, would ensue, in the mean-
time to the commerce of this country, which is scat-
tered over every sea and ocean in the world. In the
opinion of the Cabinet of Washington this might be
compensated by keeping them in power. After all,
however, this may be only another of the curious,
sudden, and extraordinary movements which charac-
terized Mr. Clayton during the past year, and on a
par with that in connexion with France. We were
on the eve of a war with that country for a whole
week, in consequence of the quarrel between him
and M. Poussin, and this pronounciamento, through
Ithe Cabinet organ, may he a repetition of the farce.

ACCIDENT TO THE STEAM-SHIP

VICEROY.

The passengers on board this steam-ship have
published the following account of the accident. The
latest accounts from the steamer mention that she
would be got off the next tide. She was bilged
under the engines, a flat rock having been driven
through her :
" We, the undersigned, passengers by the unfortunate
steamer Viceroy, run ashore on the rocks off Outer
Island (one of the Mutton Islands, near Shag Harbour,
Nova Scotia), whilst ou her way from New York to
Galway, having after considerable trouble and delay
met together in this city, are anxious that our friends
and the public should be made acquainted with the
true state of the case, as it appears to ourselves up to
this date.

"We left New York on Saturday, June 22, at 1
P M., a strong breeze at the time blowing from the
eastward. Soon after losing sight of land we met with
a dense fog, which continued through Sunday and Mon-
day, preventing the captain taking any observation dur-
ing those two days, and not clearing up till about half
an hour after our accident, which took place at half-
past 7 P.M., on the 24th ult. About 9 o'clock the same
morning the captain spoke a fisherman, and, from the
information given by him, the steamer's course was
altered about one-and•a-half point to the northward.
"After the accident, the captain and all bands, by
lightening the vessel forward, &e., did everything in
their power to get her off, which, at the time, we had
good hopes of doing, until the tido began to leave us,
when we found that she was settling down on the
rocks, and making water fast in the engine-room,
which putting out the fires, the engine was compelled
to atop. We then noticed the stewards and waiters
began packing up the valuables of the steamer.
This caused some alarm among the passengers. Several
thought there was risk in landing, as there appeared
quits a surf running on the beach, and we did not know
what kind of a place we were upon. However, soon after
a boat came in sight and !mild us, asking if we wanted any
assistance; the captain being called, after some delay and
hesitation answered that we did not; but the passengers
sayingyes,thecaptain agreed to their suggestion. The boat
that came to our assistance belonged to her Majesty's
steamer Columbia (Captain Shortland), lying at anchor
some nine miles olt Owing to the low state of the tide,
nothing was done till next morning, when Captain Short-
land returned with the steamer, ho not having been aware,
when on board the Viceroy the previous evening, that she
was making water fast.

" Oa hi;arrival, early in the morning, the water was
within five feet cf the upper deck. Immediately after
several small schooners came alongside to take off
the anchors, chains, and moveable articles. The pas-
sengers anxiously asked the captain what was to be done
with them, but were referred to the agent of the com-
pany (Mr. Taylor), from whom, at about eight o'clock,
we finally obtained two of the ship's boats to carry
us to Barrington, a distance of ten miles, Mr. Taylor
informing ua he had no means of forwarding us towards
our ports of destination. We gladly accepted the boats,
and started without any pilot, for Barrington, where we
arrived in the afternoon of the 25th, having been well
scorched by the sun, and gone many miles out of our
way.
" At Barrington we met with kind and hospitable
people, particularly the family of the Robertsons, who
treated us kindly, and, having considerable influence
with the inhabitants, afforded us every facility and in-
formation for the prosecution of our journey to Halifax,
by land
trust
mthemselves in the fishing-boats. Each of us could
relate
oafof Barrington, which place we find
as we
webest could, some not liking to
kindness and liberality experienced
from the ea
inhabitants
yw a
acts ter,
to be 170 miles from Halifax.

We have no complaint to make against the officers
of the steamer Viceroy, And would remark that the cap-
tain showed every dispontion to oblige, but seemed to
suffer much from anxiety through the fog, and the delay
in the steamer not starting from New York till an hour
after the appointed time, and we heartily sympathise
with him under his raist.rtunes."

the convenience of erection" possible, both for
more particularly for the easter and removal, but
tants of the metropolis. Now,n and southern inhabit
of Vauxhall-bridge 1t there is in the neigh-
other premises, which appears to
of ground, and
well situated to obtain these desirablenie exceedingly

mean St. Vincent 'l-square, arid premises between
it and Vauxhall-road. The

sup
being about 700 feet each way . and
drficial feet,
the pre-
miles between it and the road l.d' 000 feet,
being
about 700 feet by 180 feet. Now, what
would
humbly suggest would be to purchase the wlaotuter
premises, which is by no means
valuable, or, at least,
expensive property, which probably 15,0001. or
20,0001. would purchase, on. which to construct a
permanent building, 700 feet long and 180
feet wide, divided into four compartments, 700
feet long and 45 feet wide— making a
gallery, or show-room, on the ground floor 2,800 fc.
long ; and a similar floor above, so that the floors
would contain an area of about 250,000 superficial
feet. Over the centre of the said building I propose
to construct a conservatory (say) 400 ft. long, 180 ft.
wide, equal to about 72,000 ft.—making altogether
upwards of 320,000 ft.
This building, after the exhibition is over, may be
converted into a national gallery, the ground floor
appropriated to sculpture and models; whilst the room
over may be devoted to paintings, constituting a picture
gallery more than double the areaof the celebrated gal-
lery of the Louvre at Parts. As the erection over the
square would be of a terinpurary nature, I should pro-
pose it' be constructed by means of rows of timber piles,
driven 100 ft. apart, and about 12 ft. trom each other,
so as to support a wrought-iron roof (in spans of 100
ft.), at 25 ft. from the ground. Round these seven
rows of piles I would construct a gallery 20 ft. wide,
12 ft. 6 in. from the grou.nd, which, by winding
round each row in one continuous connection, would
extend to upwarda of two miles in length, and con-
tain an area of upwards of 200,000 ft. Taus the
square, by this arrangement, and the proposed
premises, would furnish an area of upwards
of 1,000,000 it. Tois considerably exceeds,
as I understand, the requirements originally in-
tended in the park, consequently obviating the appre-
hension of there nut being sufficient space. Besides
this, there is considerable yard room on the river side
of the square, which might be obtained, probably to
the extent of '200,000 ft. more, if required, on whidi
the inventions which have relation to steam might be
deposited,
so as to be distinct from the main exhibition
building, which I think would be very desirable. Tne
temporary building being principally c omposed of
balk timber and wrought-iron, the sacrifice occasioned
by removal would indeed be trifling compered with a
brick
and cast-iron structure, as neither of the former

few evenings since, the tide running out fast. she mined the
buoy, and before she could bring up, she tailed on shore. She

THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY OF ENGLAND.
Exeunt, JULY 17.—The proceedings of the agri-
cultural meeting here commenced formally this morn-
ing at eight o'clock by the opening of the showyard
for implements to public inspection. The general
character of this portion of the exhibition is highly
creditable to the competitors, though in some respects
it is hardly up to the mark of former years. Perhaps
the position of Exeter, removed as it is to a great
distance from the centres of manufacturing in-
dustry, and especially those branches of it which
tend to develope agricultural implement-making as a
distinct business, may account for this. The great
makers—such men as the Ransoms (of Ipswich),
Garrett (of Leiston), and Hornsby (ot Grantham),
are annually put to a very serious expense in sending
their implements to the Society's exhibition, and of
course the further away the agricultural meeting is
held the more onerous this burden becomes. Nor have
the arrangements and rules upon which the exhibition
takes place tended to diminish the objections which
thus at ise. Instead of being, as it ought to be, an
exposition of a few new snachities to which an
award of prizes may attach their proper value, and
be of service in guiding the selection of practical
men, the showyard of the society has fur years past,
if not since the commencement, been turned into a
regular hazier. The stands occupied by each ex-
hibitor are, indeed, paid for according to their extent,
and some other checks are probably adopted; but
practically the display of implements differs very
little in principle from that of goods in a tradesman's
window, and it is well known that many of the
makers are much more intent on finding purchasers
and getting orders than in competing for the pre-
miums of the society. Indeed, if they were not so,
the rewards held forth by the society would hardly
remunerate the most successful of them for a tythe of
the expense to which they are put. What can be the
object of giving Mr. Garrett 101. as a prize fur his
drill—a man who gives constant employment to some
200 or 300 men ? Or how can the Messrs. Ransom
be benefitted, with their works covering ten acres
of ground, who any day they choose to ornament
themselves could turn out with a display of
medals that would astonish the Peninsular veterans
who waited so loug for their decorations ? The
effect of this state of things is beginning to show
itself, and by unmistakeable signs. In the present
exhibition the names of the Messrs. Ransom and
other well-known implement makers are absent, not,
it is believed, because they are indifferent to the
trade in agricultural machinery, but because they
are dissatisfied with the mode in which the business
of the showyard is conducted. Again, in this exhi-
bition containing altogether an immense variety of
articles, having 110 contributors, most of whom send
a dozen, and some 30, 40, and 50 contributions, there
is hardly a single novelty worthy of description
brought forward. The showyard in its material
features presents almost no variety from that of the
last few years, and many of the best things exhi-
bited have received the awards of the society at
former meetings. Now, it may be very true that it
is desirable for the society to attract the implements
which have contributed to the improved cultivation
of the astern Counties westward, but it is not likely
that manufacturers will submit to the heavy expense
which this entails without an adequate prospect of
reward ; and it is notorious that implements which
suit one part of the country are not necessarily adap-
ted to other parts. It might have been expected
that the variety of implements suited to the climate
and soil of the West, and to its agricultural progress,
would have entered into the consideration of the
committee in drawing up their list of prizes ; but it
does not seem to have done so, and the list presents
very much the same appearance as if it had been in-
tended to apply to the great level of the Fens. To
one who is at all conversant with the agricultural
state of Devonshire and the adjacent counties, the
award of the Judges of Implements at the Exeter
meeting must appear a very curious document. It is
undeniable that there is a spirit of improvement set on
foot here, and that farmers begin to feel the neces-
sity of doing something to meet the competition of
the world. It is also true that a few landlords,
such as the' Duke of Bedford, Earl Fortescue,
Lord Poltimore, and an almost equally limited
number of very intelligent tenants, are doing all
they can to raise the character of the cultivation ; but
the vast majority of the agriculturists in this district
would regard the prize list of the society as the in-
vention of some visionary who knew nothing about
farming to a profit. What are men who let all their
liquid manure flow into their horsepond or into the
next ditch likely to think of a liquid manure distri-
butor with a 101. premium attached to it ? What will
they think of a portable farm railway who have never
dreamt of farm roads ; or of a portable steam en-
gine, who have hardly yet attempted the application
of horse power to the labour of the farm ? If the
society wished to be really useful, it ought for in-
stance to have got one of the country thrashing ma-
chines, and placed it beside one of the newest and
best construction to do the same work. The visitors to
the showyard would then see an instructive spectacle.
On the one side an implement of the most primitive
kind, requiring an immense amount of human
labour painfully performed and with a small
result. On the other, a machine easily kept
and cheaply set in motion, and most effectual
and speedy in its operation. If the invidiousness of
such a comparison were objectionable, the show of
implements might still be made interesting and in-
structive by being exhibited at work ; but there they
remain under the sheds of the yard, an ungainly mass
of iron and flaring paint, by no means prepossessing
to look at; and though their owners will readily ex-
plain their use, and even set them in motion at the
request of a visitor, none but the judges see them
fairly and properly tried. These observations are
made with no unfriendly spirit to the society, but
under the conviction that, if they wish to make their
exhibition of implements locally beneficial, they must
give it a more distinct local character, and if they
desire to retain for it the distinction of novelty, they
must put a stop to promiscuous contributions ; and
that if they want to make it really interesting to the
general public, some plan should be adopted for seeing
the principal implements, at least, openly tried.
Of course, it is a matter of regret that any of the
best-known implement makers should have absented
themselves from the present meeting. It is also to
be regretted that the showyard possesses so little in
it that is new ; but a third point in which to many
persons this part of the exhibition may appear a com-
parative failure is by the best judges considered a
decided advantage. The number of articles exhibited
is considerably smaller than last year, and the collec-
tion altogether is in consequence more select. The
following is the award of the judges in this depart-
' meat of the show.
