HARPERs' WEEKLY-A Journal Of Ciriliza-
t0n.-lt would be difficult for any weekly pa
per in these United States, to compete with
iiarper's Weekly. Like their monthly, it is
exactly adapted to the literary capacities and
the needs of the masses at the present time
and 1t will find its way to, and shed light
around, many homes which else would have
hardly received CLEAN of intelligence. Its
vast profLsion of illustrations, fresh and orig-
nal, catch the cursory eye, while the condensa-
ton and lucid arrangement of the immense va
rety OF current local and foreign news, enable |
the reader to follow the course with ease, and /
instruct himself readily on all topics worth .
talking about. The size and general appear
lnce of the paper is like most of the London

cable will be recovered. All that is within 400

TOREIGY News. The mails of the America
brings most important news.
The insurrcction in India has spread like fire
in the prairies. The natives fight like their
own wild beasts and rain aud sickness comes
to their aid in retarding the operations and
thinning the ranks Of their unaccimated ru-
lers. There are vast preparations in England
to crush the head of the rebellion. The militia
are called Ou'; thirty thousand fresh levies are
on their way to the seat of war; and the du-
ties on tea and sugar are TO remain as at present
for two years. This looks like another Crimea !:
and Russia, who is said to be secretey at work
in the war, is resolved that there shall be no
English Balaklava, and no Malakof' or Rednn :
or if the latter, that the Indian troops shall
carry off the honors. All this lsoks like wide
spread and bloody complication.
The crops are heavy, south, east, and west,
in England. From Ireland and Scotland the
harvest news is also good.
Oi the war in India, one writer saws:
The news is bad. There is not one cheering
aspect to the story, 50 far as the telegraph
states it. In nine more stations the mutiny has
spread. An army of eighty thousand soldiers
has disappeared. The smoking ruins of camps
the mutilated corpses of officers, with their
wives and children, cities sacked and planta-
tiOns devasted families fleeing for their lives
trembling for fear Of the very servants without
whom they cannot live, wealth melted away
like dew, and the opuent in May beggars in
July, are what is left Of English rule over l6I,.
100000 of Eastern population. The Time,
SAYS: " We have seen the worst" Undoubt.
edly. 'ut that worst is the loss of any En-
pire. Unless native army can be kept OF
foot, the Indian Empire cannot be maintained
The mutiny may be suppressed but the countr,
cadnot be held by English troops. Whether
native army can ever again be employed,
needs no prophet to tell.

! BREAEITG OF THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH
GABLE BY the arrival OF the steamer America
at Halifax on "Wednesday, we have the unwel.
come Intelligence of serious disaster to the
telegraph cabc. On the Ilth inst, when $50
miles from the Irish Coast, the cable parted and
the portion already laid was lost. The fleet
was returning to England. A conference ofthe
Directors was in progress at London to deter
mine whether TO renew the effort this season
or postpone another to next season.
An extraordinary article appears in the Com
merclai 1dpertiSer in relation to the brea king
OF the Atlantic submarine cable, which is like.
iy to create much remark 1t is directly init
mated, that the itlrgraphlc dispatches from
Nalen'la, stating that the ware was broken in
consequence OF the application of the brakes
oy The engineer were prepared by persons in
me interest oi The company, and not to be re-
lied upon.
We are then told that, on inquiry, it will be
found that the cable was broken on purpose, il
having become apparent that the rapidly with
which the lateral currents were running off
with the wire, would use up the line before the
vessels were ue-thlrd the way across, and that
thus alternative was adopted, under the convic-
tlEn that it was better TO lose 300 miles of the
wire, than to proceed in the face of the GER
lainty that the whole OF 1t would be losl in mid
ocean.
Ii is broadly asserted that the directors have
not told the truth, and some very pertinent
questions are put to them, VIII ch 1t will be diff
cult to pass over without an1werDg. If all
this be true then. that is to say, ii the lateral
currents offer Serious an obstacle IN the sue
cess 0! the plan. what becomes of those " deep
sea-soundng" reports winch aver that no OBJ
slacles would be met with on this score, and
that the wire would sink to its bed IN still wa
ter, Hndsturbed by any Influence whatever!
The significance Of this article consists not
IN the fact that 1t appears as newspaper edi-
Iorlal, but in the well grounded suspicion that
1t Is the product Of some person on the other
side, whose position qualified him to write un.
derstandngly upon the subject
