New YORK, July 31.-The steamship Gren-
ada, from Greytown on the goth instant, ar
rived here yesterday. Among her passengers,
is Maxine Serez, who relieves Yrisarri as Nj
caraguan Minister at Washington.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5.-President Buch-
anan, who is now at the Bedford Springs, re-
ceived the first intimation of the successful
laying of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable,
through the agency of the associated Press.
He has been notified by Cyrus w. Field,
Esq, that as soon as both ends have been
landed, and connected with the land lines,
Queen Victoria's message will be sent, and
the line kept free until after his reply has
been transmitted.
At New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Washington and Petersburg, the great
est enthusiasm prevailed upon the reception
of the joyful news.
1t was at first believed to be a hoax, and
some still withhold their belief, from the
shortness of the time that has elapsed since
the junction in mid-ocean was effected.
Great anxiety prevailed to know if the
AgGmemn0n has arrived safely at Valencia.
Tn success of the experiment is received
everywhere with unbounded qualification.
THROUGH TIcKET-We are authorized to
state that n fbrofIOb tioEaf fropo AFIapfa
Georgia, and Charleston, South Carolina, has
been formed by the different Railroads by
way of Wilmington and Washington City,
BY this arrangement, passengers going North,
starting from either Atlanta or Charleston,
can buy their tickets at these places to Wash
ington City, thereby saving considerable
trouble in procuring tickets at each terminus.
A HAPPY CHANGE.-While three men were
crossingthe Fox river, near the Croche dam,
in Wisconsin, a week ago last Sunday, says
the Appleton Crescent, the oar broke, and
they were swept over the dam. A young
man at the peril of his life, and without know
ing who they were, hurried to their relief, and
rescued one of them, who proved to be his
father. The other two were drowned.
IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-The Supreme Court
of New York has decided that a creditor has
no right to take a transfer Of a life insurance
policy, and by paying the premium thereon
to uphold the same for himself. This is a
very important decision, and defeats what has
been heretofore regarded as one of the most
important aims of life insurance.
EDITORIAL INDIsCRETloN.-A Western edi-
tor published a long leader on "Hogs." A
rival paper in the same village upbraids him
for obtruding his family matters upon the
public.
THoUGHT He KNEW BETTER.-A little boy,
on waking in the morning, was introduced
to a new conner in the shape of a baby sister
After glancing first at the baby, and then a
his sick mother, the little fellow suddenly
turned to his father and said-"Pa, [ shoulC
have thought you would have known bette,
than to bring this baby here when mothe
was sick and unable to take care of it"
Extract from a private letter to a gentle
man Of st. Louis, dated
CHEAT SALT LAKE CRY, June %, 1853.
You will have heard how our corpulen
Governor has been "Steptoed' by the Nor
mons. He seems to me to be almost insane
He takes pains to quarrel with every Gentil
within his reach, from Gen. Johnston, tn
Commissioners, and Judge Eckels, down t
your humble servant and to affiliate wit
the worst cut Threats in the whole Mormon
community, He is alternating the only tru
friends he has-the only persons on whoT
he can expect to lean when he finds that b
has been fooled by Brother Brigham.
The very table on which [ am writing ha
on it evidence of the r~ascality of the Mormon
in respect to the mail. q am scrawling tn
to you in the Post office.) Directly in froI
of me is a pile of letters, all of which hay
been opened by steaming them until the gu
on the envelope ceased to stick, or by cuttir
open the ends of the envelopes and stickir
them carefully together again.
They call the present condition Of affai
harmony ;" or at least the Governmel
calls it so, but there is not a Gentle in Il
city who does not sleep with a revolver und
his pillow.
E The vanguard of the army is expected
arrive tomorrow, and then we shall breatl
freer. If Gen. johnson had the Supreme ci'
power of the Territory in his hands, as
! has the military, we might have a durat
+ peace. AS it is, this patched up mess of &C
o C~omming's will cease to stick as soon as it
I steamed.-St. Louis Democrat.
