Our townsmsn, the enierprisiog Cyrus w. Field,
whose connection with the New York, New ound-
land and London Telegraph Company is familiar to
all the readers Of the HERALD sails to day Ia the
Baltic for New York. He carries with him specimens
Of the cable now in process Of manufacture, and
which is to be finished in May. and laid during the
summer; so that we may confidently expect light
ming communication between Europe and America
during the year 1857.
The success of this company Is rendered certain
by the liberal course pursued towards the company
by the British government, In gnarantyiDg four per
cent upon the capitalof the company: ana providing
should not lose sight OF the fact that in this the
Premier show his usual sagacity for in of rup
ture between the two countries England controlling

remain in close communion with her colonies and
fleet, whilst we aie, as now, three thousand miles
distant
The Baltic also carries out the we'll known Ameri.
can submarine engineer, j. L. Gowen, OF Boston,
who raised the hull OF the United States steam
frgate Missouri, burnt at Gibraltar. Mr. Gowen is on
his return from Russia, where be went on invitation
tract to raise the fleet sunk at Sebastopol, consist
ing of "a vessels and among them IL steam fgates.
Mr. Gowen hsd five or six competitors, among them
the Credit hobiler OF France, and yet he contract
was awarded to him at figures above all his compe.
ttors from his well know reputation and success at
GitrDiiar with the Missouri.
This contrast obtained Is not only a well de-
served compliment to Nr. G.'s skill as submarine
engineer, but a national one, which sho1ld give
every American cause for pride, ~ In magnitude
and value IL Is the largest contract ever Oh

The London TINES, in one OF those brilliant but
enigmstcal emissions with which 1t dazzles and be-
widers the public mind, and prepares it for coming
events, bas just settled the question OF British Pro-
tectorate Of the Mosquito indians, and foreshadowed
the future fate Of the republics Of Central America
preserved with mistaken fidelity their friendship
with the british nation. They have supplied N with
shelter, food, and fuel In the days when Spain was
strong, England weak, and the United States In
mere embryo. They have fouRh for us; they have
suffered for u.s. but the edct mas gone forth from
Printing House yard, and the Mosquito Indians are
TO be abandoned TO the sympathies OF the American
hhbusters- Power and glory rise in the East and
Tie pinion Of the American eagle is strong
and her beak Is whetted for the spoil; there
fore the days Of the Mosquito Protectorate are
come to an end, and this faithful race Ia left TO
mourn the ing. attitude Of its once powerful and
fostering patron. The Times, however, with affect
ing gravity. asks, "Who are these Mosquitosf What

knowledge from book OF imaginary travels, pub
shed last year by Mr.. Squiers, the agent Of q rail-

The present emblem Of the American nation Ia
the eagle. The Time suggests the snake a.
more appropriate TO the progress OF that people.
We venture to think that this suggestion has arisen
from Observing what Is now taking place In Nicara-
qua. some few years ago company was got up in
New York called the Accessory Transit Company"
for the conveyance passengers 70 and gold n Jm San
frsneisco. 1his company ssked @ and ostaned from
privileges. They scoa afterwards picked up quar-
rel with the authorities OF Greytown, and thcreupon
the government st Washington sent Captain HoLos
to lombard and bum down The town. The Eica-
iuina The Transit Company, however, having
removed Gfeytown, now turned their attention TO
the Nicsraeusns themselves Everybody knows
thst the dominant race Of Central America are
sranisrds-spapisrds by descent-spanisrds In
feeling. They speak their native language, and
cberish their native pride. They abhor the Yankees

inaly, We find that about two years agJ there was
prsctisine In San Francisco young attorney, the
legal adviser Of the fibusters, the vanguard, the
snake Of the American nation. Amer the destruc-
iion Of Greytown this young lawyer was re'ained
by The Accessory Company, and shortly after the
destruction Of Greytown he appeared In Nicsragus
as General Walker. He quickly gathered about
him band Of his former clients. He upset the
government. seized on the capital Of the country,
shot and hanged all his opponents, and the process
of l,lrication commenced. Walker Is now recoguz-
cd at Washington ~ the President OF the republic,
snd has already declared Nicaragua TO he q slave
State. According TO the Times, "the annexation
