LAUNCH OF THE GREAT EAsrERS.-The
Canadian (London) News, Of the I'd inst,
says il is authorized TO state that the Great
Eastern steamship twill be launched in the
first spring tides Of next month (October)
The day is not as yet absolutely fixed, but
this important event will absolutely take
place on Monday, the 5th of that month
The tides will be highest on that day"
The same journal describes with minute
ness route Of pleasure travel through the
United States TO Chicago and St Louis, and
which is extended on the European Cont
nent to Germany and Switzerland, for which
"Great Eastern tourist tickets" are to be
provided.
This tour can be accomplished, say from
New York and back, in about eight weeks,
including the two passages across the Allan
tic; but to those less pressed for time, il can
be advantageously extended TO from eleven
to thirteen weeks. The cost of first class
Touriss Ticket for the whole excursion, Of
little under 5000 miles, will be about ass
sterling or say $3.50.
Arrangements are also in addition TO
the foregoing, and at an increased cost Of
about 100 dollars, will probably comprise
Naples, Rome, Florence, Genoa, Turin, and
Milan, together with the passag 60 across the
Alps and Simplon."

chief Dictator's plan, to have the Treasurer
pay out moneys on the adrice of the board
Of Dictators, instead Of on warrants accor-
ding to law, leads us to suppose that he

A LECTURER COMING.

love to be entertained by such maniac,
once in while:
IL is my purpose to spend the coming
winter in the principal cities of the South,
lecturing upon the subject of Slavery, the
morality OF the North-contrasting the con-
dition Of free persons Of color in the Free
States with that Of the slaves in the South.
In the spring purpose visiting the New
England States, and repeating the same lee
lures. In other words, ! propose to 90

tighten your benighted Free Soil population

the cities and towns of the New England
States and Of the northwestern States, as
opening wider and more inviting field, at
this time, for faithful missionary labors
than Hindoostan. Siam, Ceylon, China, or
Western Africa In addition to your wick
cd and rebellious course upon the Slavery
question, you have forsaken the true God
and the Christian religion, and gone of AZ
ter Spiritualism, Fanny Wrightism, Fourier
ism, Mormonsm, Abolitionism, Devilism,
and the hundred.and-one isms so spontane-
ously produced by New England soil
Hope, gentlemen, you will do me the. ia

r6- Attorney General Mcdonald, one Of
the Dictators whohave assumed the govern
ment, says that Judge Gookinss resignation
is no resignation at all-it isn't in due form.
We suggest the propriety of getting up
blank forms Of resignation so that Judges
and others who have not sense enough or
'larnin' enough, can resign for certain, when
they want to- A common man, like Judge
Gookins, might at least be able 10 fill up the
blanks, so as to express his meaning If
this be not thought best, let "the officers Of

THAT NOBLE INTUITION The
New Albany Ledger, abiding to the
refusal of the Committee on Publica-
ton of the American Tract Society
to publish the tract on Slavery, which
was ordered by the Society, says;
"This action Of the Committee will,
we have no doubt, be sustained by
the Society itself, and one of the
noblest and most benefcent Of our
religious societies rescued from the
clutches Of Abolitionism."
But suppose the Society don't sus.

Won't it become a nasty Abolition

UHHAPY SPAIN.

The last letters from Madrid give a sor--
rowful picture OF the State OF Spain. The
capital, in so far as the court and govern
ment are concerned is n prey to personal
intrigues and petty consideration. The peo-
pie have lost all respect for their rulers, and
tho rulers all respect for their own clarac-
ter. The press is manacled as severity as in
Russia; and even artistic journals are SUBJ
mitted 10 the most rigid censorship In
Catalonia, disorder il rife in all directions.
II appears that multitudes Of operatives
have been induced TO quit their employers,
and are Mt this time wandering, in parties
Of lesser or greater number, through the
province, begging plundering, and spread.
ing alarm in all directions. The Carlisi
Standard has not, however, been raised
save here and there by bands Of rogues, as
pretext for maraudng aud levying contri
buttons Such is the state in which Spain
continues, and is likely to continue, until il
is FRUSTRATED by utter exhaustion, or whip
ped into renewed CONFUSION. The Queen
it is officially announced will be confined
before the expiration Of this month.
