LATEST FROM WAsH1NGToN-That the Cabinet
is not a unit-that the President is for Mr..
Pierce for the succession--that the Premier
is undermining for Marcy--that the Kitchen
is plotting for Buchanan, and that JEFF. Davis
is laying train to blow them all up. Sand
witch Islands broke-Gallapagos abandoned
Dominica sold out-Cuba stock below par.
Kansas and Nebraska bills, no sales. Cabinet
meeting solemn, heavy and suspicious AT
fairs in the Kitchen fiat and stale. All wait
on his mission to Spain-despatches from Mr..
Dodge, and the arrival Of Santa Anna Blessed
are they who expect nothing, for they shall not
be disappointed

TELEGRAPH COMPANIES AND THEIR JEA-
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TO THE PUBLIC SER
vIcE.-We call the attention of the telegraph
companies, and Of the public in general, to the
following communication which we have re-
ceived from G. P. R. James, Esq, the we'll
known writer, and Consul to her British Ma
jesty at Norfolk -
CLIFTON HOUSE,
NIAGARA FALLS, August g. 1855 !
DEAR Sm:-I beg TO inform you that have twice sent
teegraphic message from this place to Acting Con-
sui in Norfolk Virginia. which, in the circumstances
the time was very important In each instance
wer has been returned from New York that the message
would not be transmitted 10 Norfolk The telegraph
poyed was that of the Montreal Telegraph Company and
no further explanation has been given
of these facts a. great may experienced
Your faithful servant,
fs,e G. y. R. JAMES.
made to US and it is time that steps should be
taken to bring about amore complete union OF
interests and action between the different tele-
graph companies than exists at present. There
are no imaginable reasons why they should
hold jealousy aloof from q friendly alliance
with each other. Universally of system and
of communication can only tend to augment
tHelT pTOUtS. NOW lDbL Tic buDmdIlnc tcfc-
graph is about to connect the two hemispheres,
it would be in the last degree absurd to refuse
to unite the facilities by which communication
may be maintained between different parts of
this continent. In no case, except in that of
war, can we conceive, for instance, any rational
obstacles to mutual accommodation being af-
forded to each other by the United States and
Canada telegraph companies. No difficulty
should oppose itself to mans sending COM
munication direct from Montreal to New Or
leans, and still less reasonable is it that we
should hear Of such complaints as that set
forth in Mr.. James communication. We re-
commend the matter to the serious attention
of the telegraph companies. They must imi-
tate the enterprise and public spirit which are
about to carry into execution the grandest and
most comprehensive scheme Of telegraphic
communication that has rs yet been attempted.
Their own union and friendly action are neces-
sary preliminaries to the completion Of its de-
tails. Let them not be found wanting.

Rum ored Insurrectton In Austra1ia-Dis-
astrous Shipwreck and Loss of Seven
Hundred Lives.

The London Morning Heraldofthe lst OF March
has the following dispatch from Trieste:
dispatches from Ceylon OF the Isl February,
announce that the people Of Australia have risen
and declared their independence. Some troops
were sent 10 put down the insurrection and san
culinary engagements had been fought. Melbourne
was in a state OF siege"
The news has, OF course, arrived by the over
land mail, and no doubt refers to the disturbances
at the diggings The Australian dates are not
givSn, and the dispatch evidently manufac-
lured for continental circulation.
THE advices from Australia by this arrival are
four days later from Sidney, and eleven days later
from Melbourne, than have been previously re-
ceived here by way Of Panama II is possible
that, in the interim, the emnte among the Austria
lian miners may have grown into the proportions
OF a revolution but the rumor will be doubtedl
The Paris Conaauftonnei says that Il has re-
ceived a confirmation of the sad news which had
been rumored about Paris. The frigate lost in the
Straits of Bonfacio is the Semilante, which re-
Gently LEFT Touon with four hundred soldiers on
board. The vessel struck on one OF the reefs 10
that passage, and Immediately filed. The crew
and passengers, making together seven hundred
men, all persisted. No other details have yet been
received OF this catastrophe. The loss has created
the most painful sensation in Paris. Seven hum
dred men have perishcd together with vast
quantity Of cannon, mortars shells, gun.powder,
and shot. Nothing was saved-not shred. All
that has been washed ashore, as far as 10 known
TO Government, are two pair Of trousers. The
Semilante was going 10 the East.
The bark w. T Sayward, from San Francisco
for Shanghai, with one thousand barrels Of -four
and one hundred and sixty.four thousand dollars
in specie, sprung a leak December lsi, of the
Laprone Islands, and was abandoned December
2lst, near Napakiang, with seven feet OF water in
the hold The United States ship vincennes tried
10 save the specie, but was unsuccessful The
crew was transferred 10 the ship Nightingale,
which carries them 10 Shanghai.
