ARRIVAL OF SIR IIENRr BuLwEE, rrK ESeLrsu
MNIsTER.-Sir Henry Lyiion Bulwer, X. c. b.,
Her Britannia Majesty's Minister to Washington,
arrived in this city yesterday afternoon, and occu-
pies rooms at Dclmonico's. MIR. Bulwer was ac-
eomPanied by Anthony Barclay, Esq., the British
Consul in this city, and II. 7. FELTON,, Esq, an at.
fa,ht Of the embassy. II we are rightly informed,
the object of Mr. Bulwers visit is chiefly to select
summer residence on Staten Island, or some other
salubrious spot, within reasonable reach of Wash
ingion, where he can be equally efficient in the
discharge Of his diplomatic duties. as he will be
secluded in the indulgence Of his literary pursuits

LAND AND LAND SrEcULATIoSs.-Snce the con-
struction of the Hudson River Railroad there has
been great deal Of speculation in land along Is
line. Farms which heretofore could be purchased
at fair and moderate price, have been cut up and
laid out in budinglots and villages, and the prices
of those lots are as high as were formerly asked
for acres of the same property. High sounding
names, such as Font Hill, Abbotsford, and many
others that We could name, are given TO these towns
and villages for the purpose Of assisting the specu-
lators. In many instances, land has, by these
means, been pulled up to four and five hundred per
cent above the sum which il could have been pur-
chased for before the railroad was built; as of
course, this fictitious value cannot be maintained,
there must be a reaction. II would be well, there
fore, for persons desiring to purchase the line of
the Hudson River Railroad, TO wait awhile for
is almost certain that prices Of land fall very
considerably in that region before very long

NEws FROM SANTA CRuz, CuBA.-We learn
from Captain Baker, Of the brig Jesse, from Santa
Cruz. May 18Th, that the news Of the landing Of
General Lopcz's expedition at Cardenas caused
great excitement at that port. For several days
all kinds Of business was entirely suspended, and
all the male inhabitants were called on by the
commander Of the port TO arm themselves in de-
fence Of the city The militia was daily drilled,
aud constant patrol was kept up for several nights
and days. But the news Of the defeat Of the
patriots was received in few days after by the
authorities. which caused great rejoicing among
the inhabitants, by the ringing Of church bells, and
celebrating mass in the churches A few days
previous to the sailing Of Captain Baker, the
militia was disbanded. and business began to flow
through its proper channels.

FASHIONABLE DRIVES AND REsoRTs.-The me-
tropolis is sadly deficient in drive-roads, such
as are agreeable in the hot days of sum-
mer. The most frequented are the Third
avenue and the Bloomngdale road but
the onslaughts of butcher boys, rowdies, and
drunken heroes of flesh, lashing, crashing,
dashlng, screaming, and yelling, regardless of de-
cency, of limb and life, render passage perfect
nuisance. Besides, the Bloomngdale road is
never in order; it is always undergoing repairs,
and, as whole, is unfit for pleasant drive. To OBJ
tain anything like agreeable drive, we must cross
one of the rivers. Taking the East River ferry, fai
roads lead to Fort Hamilton, Coney Island. or to
Astoria, and these are sometimes much enjoyed
Passing over the North River, to Hoboken, we may

full retirement, seems wholly unknown 1t is, per-
haps, the very best ride out of New York, and yet
it is almost solitude. More than this, in driving
down to the Point, there is an excellent terminus

Mr. Zabrieskie, who has been there for several
years Ills dttcHuOHs, tnOst Oh his lazy, are

one must be cync not TO breathe enjoyment in
such spot-so cool, enchanting, so in opposi-
ton 10 the heat and dust of the crowded city.
There is, also, access to Bergen Point by steam
boats, which leave the foot Of Barclay street, and
touch there both going and returning. Surely
such a retreat will not be unnoticed-and, once
noticed, will notbe forgotten.

gress in the present session, when we reflect for a
moment that the opposition of the ultras in both
regions is united with the more bitter opposition
of the cabinet against the settlement of the contro-
versy at this time. We would be in favor of en-
grating the Missouri line on the Compromise Bill
but we doubt if, in the present state of things at
Washington, such a thing could be accomplished at
all. Indeed the principle opposition to the present
adjustment of the question has been commenced,
formed, increased and brought into existence by the
cabinet of General Taylor, and from purposes of
purely factious and personal character. They wish
to leave the question entirely open for future agta-
ton, in order to receive what benefit they can, and
chance of recovering from their present unpopular
condition throughout the Union. If all chances of
a settlement should therefore fail, the result may
be attributed entirely TO the ntrgues of the present
cabinet.

Were our country filled up like Ger

would be five hundred millions. Europe
contained one hundred and eighty-three
millions inhabitants in 1907; In IS4S they
had increased to two hundred and sixty
two millions three hundred thousand III
the same area. Excess OF population,
enormous taxation, and the scarcity OF
subsistence has driven millions to Ameri-
ca within the last twenty years. At a
former period religious persecution BAN
ished thousands from otherwise happy
homes. In few months we will have

for 1850, and we have seen calculation

Canada Annexation.

Earl Grey's letter to Lord Elgin, the
Governor General of the Canadas, de-
nouncing annexation and annexa tionists
regarding the one as but little better than
treason, and the others as but little better
than traitors, has not produced any molli-
flying effect, but, on the contrary, has great
ly exasperated the dissidents, and added
much fuel to the flame. Accordingly, the
anEexationists, instead of desisting from
their purpose and returning to their allie
glance and their 10y atty, avow their deter
mination to ego ahead with their project
of dismemberment, Gin spite of thunder,

country has grown TO a national greatness,
which knows no parallel in the history of
nations, has been in danger. She viii still
be found right; and her noble sons will
respond with a voice as Of one man, TO the
patriotic spirit which the preamble and
resolutions of the Senate breath.
In the House, on Saturday last, the new
bank bill, introduced by the bank commit
tee, through the chairman, Mr.. Laird of
Westmoreland county, was under discus
sion. This bill is very long one, COW
ering twenty-eight pages, and embracing
many new and important provisions, all
looking to the better security of the public
against the frauds and rascalities of those
monied monopolists. From present indi-
cations, am inclined TO think that Mr.
Laird's bill will he so amended and altered
by those who are opposed to its provisions
as To render nugatory, the restrictions
which the committee recommend. l shall
be sorry to see this should ii be so, be-
cause all men agree, that it is high time

Telegraph 10 England.

One Mr.. Armstrong proposes to put IN
to operation line of telegraph from Hall
fax to the west coast of Ireland, whence it
can readily be extended 10 Liverpool
Wonderful as this project appears, 1t is
not so wonderful as the existence of the
Telegraph itself, and we have no doubt as
to It's entire practicability. According to
his plan the wire is TO be a caole, So strans
coated with Gutta Percha, the only avail
able insulator now known, TO be laid with
suitable anchors from above Halifax, on
the coast, along the Banks of Newfound-
land, which extends TO within l60 miles
of the coast of Irelond, below all currents
for there is such a point far down be-
yond the reach of anchorage, until the
water deepens, so that its density will
overcome the weight of the wire leaving ii
suspended until the line is extended across
the whole to be accurately marked on a
chart of the whole line, with s'tell tales"
at distances of so or 100 miles, with suit
able buoys, where the ship may run up,
and attach an Instrument of simple con-
struction to the connecting wires and thus
communicate eiter way with land. Ac-
cording 10 this plan based upon careful
and accurate calculations, the whole weight
will be S,5l0a tons, which will require
nine ships of 1000 tons, Custom House
measurement,( and four steamers, of not
less than L, 800 tons burden, to take charge
of the working squadron, while the time
required to lay dowr the wire after all the
material is on shipboard and the vessels at
their respective stations on the American
and Irish coasts, will be from thirteen TO
twenty days, during the months of July
and August. both squadrons TO leave port
at the same time rendezvous at given
point Of latitude and longitude, as near
midway of the Ocean as possible; the
whole to cost less than three millions of
