ED1ToR OF THE TRIBUNE
On Saturday, at 2 o'clock, the Pacific
left for Liverpool She carried out 1928. /
600, in American gold, $500, in English
silver, and 81 passengers
The Europa arrived at Halifax, from
Liverpool, at quarter before nine O'Clock
On Tuesday morning, wish 90 passengers. 4
The weather in England, during the week
preceding the Europa's departure, was
warm, and the crops were promising
Trade continues to iinpr0ye.-The war in
Algiers had been brought to a conclusion
The Telegraph informs US that the Eu-
ropa got in to Boston ut o'clock yester
day afternoon, but sends us no informa-
ton that we have not already received
from Halifax; so the inference Is, that the
news from Europe is not very important.
We shall probably get our letters and pa
pers by this afternoon.
a Yankee has proposed to the Govern
meut OF Naples to eNtinguish Mount We
suiyius The plan, he says, is perfectly
simple The nucleus Of the subterranean
FIRE lies far below the surface OF the Bay
of Naples. It IS therefore only necessary
to cut q canal from the fires edge to the
waters edge, and the "yolcano's torch"
goes out With ''si2zle" Our Yankee
friend enmpntes, that many millions of
dollars worth of land, now covered with
spec7tIa VIII be redeemed fer useful pur-
poses, through this great speculation and
lie is willing to take his pay in this land
on the Whitney railroad plan
The principal difficulty viii be, | think,
| to find labore-s willing to work on the vol
/ can;c END Of the canal, especially when
the mountain has been so far perforated
that the crust begins to get thin How
ever it IS a great project, although not
quite 50 feasible rs the proposition made
some years ago, also by 4 ankee [ think,
to light Naples with gas, by means Of

L seems that our countrymen in Lon
don, are " suffering some" because there
are no decent Hotels or Barber Shops,
in that city An editorial friend, just re
turned from the Worlds fair. says that he
/ did not get satisfactory meal, or a decent
/ shave-although he was shaved at every
| turn-while he was In London Ny
/ friend tried to give the Londoners some
inforna ton on these matters, but they
would not listen to him. When he expa-
tiated to them on the comforts Of the As
tor or Irving House, his auditors shrugged
their shoulders in silent contempt; and
when he described Phalon's magnificent
establishments at 1917 Broadway, where

/ sceptical Englishmen laughed outright,
and asked him if lie expected them to
believe that Barber Shops in America are
palaces in Easements p
The fact Is. no English gentleman pat

land consequently, there are no good
Barber shops in that country. Americans
going thither, viii do we'll to remember
this, and learn to shave themselves before
they leave the land where some Barber
shops are palaces IN easements.
There has been anotherargUmen before
the Supreme Court, in relation to the Gus
tody of the letters written bv Miss In
mans, now Mrs Smith Coddington, to Y.
p Willis, and by him placed in the hands
Of James Watson Webb The sum and
substance Of the matter IS, that Mrs Cod
dington's Counsel desires that an attach
ment should issue against Webb, for AMI
alleged violation OF the injunction res
training him from copying them or any|
part of them-and that Webb IS unwilling
to place the Letters in the hands of re-
