it is not without its grave exceptions. ssNo norr,

the public mind, the fears that have been already
aroused with respect to an enterprise, remarkable
alike for boldness of conception and for the doubts
that have been thrown upon its practicability.-
The experimental trip into the Baltic was by no
means satisfactory one. Notwithstanding the
general perfection of the machinery for paying out
the wire, the cable parted four times-twice on
board the Niagara, and twice on board the Aga
memnon. As these accidents occurred without
the dynanometer indicating any abnormal strain
upon the wire reasons for the rupture were sought
and found in the gradually increased circumfer-
ence of the grooves of the cylinders over which the
wire passed. If this was the only difficulty re-
qured to be overcome the recurrence of fractures,
from this particular cause has been guarded against
by reducing the circumference of the grooves to an

SINGULAR INSTANCE OF SPONTANEOUS
COMRITSTION AT SEA


The London Times publishes an account of fire
on shipboard, caused by the spontaneous combus-
ton of oil skins:
con Sunday, the oath of January, when in lat.
ID 30 North, long. "a Al West, some of the second
class passengers of this good ship perceived slight
smell as OF something burning, but this was passed
over by one of the stewards remarking that
from the oil cloth on the table having become
heated, from having the suns rays directly upon it,
However, about A. NJ, the following morning
the passengers all aroused from their slumbers
by an alarm of fire. No time lost in removing
the after matches, when, to the horror of all, the
smoke came forth in such volumes as left no doubt
to the sad reality. The captain, officers and crew
were soon at their duty, and worked with that cool
ness and gallantry characteristic of Englishmen
the passengers assisting as best they could now
giving relays at the pumps fore and aft, giving
hand at the ropes; or were endeavoring to
quiet the children and comfort the women, or such
as could be of no service quietly stood off, as not
to impede or interfere with the work going on.
The fire was extinguished by about A. NJ, and
without accident beyond the removal of the first
officer from the hold in state of utter nsensbty
from the effects of the smoke; but on exposing him
to the air. and using the usual restoraves he soon
recovered and resumed his post. The origin of the
fire is soon explained, and that beyond doubt. 1t
arose from the spontaneous combustion of some
cases of oilskins, or waterproof macintoshes.
At first there some doubt as to these being
the cause, but shifting the cargo after throwing
overheard such things were rendered worthless,
another case of these waterproof goods was dis
covered perfect in appearance from the outside but
inwardly the contents were in far advanced stage
of spontaneous combustion, and it was only the
heat of the case, when handled from the outside
that led to its discovery.

CONFESSION OF PORTER, THE DEFAULTlNG
AGENT OF THE AMERICAN SUNDAY


''Mr Frederick w. Porter, the defauting agent of
the American Sunday School Union, whose fall
made such a sensation short time SINCE has at
length made full and complete confession of the
great wrong he has done. He stood very high in
the Society and in the Church, and he was almost
the last man who would have been suspected to be
guilty of so foul deed. In letter recently laid
before the Board of the Sunday School Union he
has made complete confession. He began his
wrong doing nineteen years ago. The plan was the
same that he pursued to the last His temptation
began with the mulberry and silkworm speculation
nineteen years ago, and, under the garb Of religion,
he has for that long time carried on his dishonest
plans. He allows that at the start he knew it was
wrong; but he hoped to be able to meet the notes
as they matured. But as he was unable to do so,
he was compelled to renew his notes and pay
heavy bonus. Thus, for nineteen years. he has been
treadng the thorny path of SIM praised for virtues
that he knew he did not possess and taking of the
sacrament, which, according to his own protested
falth was adding damnation to himself at each
worthy reception. He derauded the society out of
over $4,000 but the Philadelphia broker who
aided him to the dishonest gain, promptly paid all
the notes that his name was on, and the loss
lessened nearly $4,000. Mr.. Porter confesses that
in the nineteen years of fraud, he has used the
name of the society to the large amount of S600000
by renewals and reissues. No wonder he is sick
man-one whom, if the law does not reach, the
grave will soon cover up. Nineteen years of fraud
and crime, and perpetrated in the of eligion-
with despair looking him in the face-exposure
waiting for him at the corners of each street-wth
d G;norse gnawing at his heart-and the worm that
' hot hastening to his repast."

Government, utterly disheartened the band which
were ready to strike blow. For a considerable
time we were warned that the issue of the conspra-
cy, was to depend on the assassination of General
Castro and his Ministers.
The Government having had knowledge of these
secret plots, did not permit itself to wait until they
should have been ripened and carried into effect in
order to annihilate them at once with firm hand
Already it had endangered public order by its hest
talon and to assure it, it determined to act. There
fore during last night, several houses were entered
and searched; the result of which the arrest of
Seniors Ramon Anzola Tower, Luis Level, Pablo
Guerro and his brother, Antonio l.. Guzman, Silva
and several others; besides it is asserted that in one
OF the houses a quantity of arms and ammunition
had been found.
Sr. Guzman was arrested in the street, Seniors
Juan CrisOstomo Hartado and DR.. Jose Manuel
Garcia were also sought for without being found.
In the morning of to-day Srs. DR.. Joaquin Herrera
and Ramon Suarez were arrested. 1t is fact
which no body doubts that Generals Falcon and
Ezechiel Iamora, and Commander Rafael Urban
eta, have hidden themselves or left the country at
least eight days ago. The prisoners are deprived
of all external communication.

NEWS FROM VENEZUELA.
,nNSPIR ACY TO nNERTHRnW TILE COVER NNIENr-RAN
MENT OF THE CONSPIRATORS.


From La Regeneration Of Caracas, June 81
We have already informed our readers that the
Government was ON the track of conspiracy which
had been planned for the purpose of disturbing
public tranquility, of overturning the actual Adj
ministration, and of involving the country in civil
war. The vigilance and energetic conduct of the
Government, strengthened by the immense favor
which it enjoys with the people, thwarted this first
project.
The great day on which the Venezuelan people
ercised their sovereignty passed off in serenity and
quietly, disappointing the hopes and prophecies of
those who expected that, from the shock of opin-
ions and the conflict of the opposing eectioneer
ing parties, would spring the electrical spark which
might set on fire domestic factions. The vio-
lent character which marked the intimations of the
English and French consuls must have been the
principal instigation to these plans But the hour
has arrived, and nothing has been able to disturb
the firm and steady march of the Government in
trusted with' the reorganization of the republic.
No disquietude manifested itself which indicated
the least vacillation want of frmness in public
opinion. This circumstance, together with the con-
viction of their impotence and the attitude of the

THE ENGLISH THEORY OF TRopIcALLARoR


The true policy, if you would compete with Cuba
Slavery, is not to seek for grievances and make COM

people the islands of the torid zone with Asiatics
and Africans laboring in freedom. Instead of cry
ing-''Stop the transport of laborers'' the cry of
the philanthropist should be-Stran every nerve
to increase that transport and to render it effective
Do not create impediments and call them regula
tons; do not regard with hostility the efforts Of the
colored races to compete in freedom with their com
patriots in Slavery; do notnvent opprobrious nick

than those proposed to your soldiers, and less en-
during than those imposed upon your own middle
class countrymen proceeding to India

cree your own white countrymen; and acknowledge
that the lot, even of an African, cannot be too

THE AMERICAN DIVERS AT SEBASTOPOT.
Letters have been received in this city, dated Sc
bastopol May oath, by which we learn that the
work of raising the sunken Russian fleet progresses
rapidly and with remarkable success. Wemake the
following extract from the letters
We have raised achole the l6 gun vessel-of-war
''Smeya," and brought her down to the Admiralty
slung between the caissons, last night. She had
over 300 tons of mud in her hold and on her decks
beside all her rigging, iron tanks, pig iron bal
last, &c.
She laid up the South Bay, and as the rains wash
the steep banks that comprise the sides of the bay
the soil being quite alluvia it constantly keeps the
water in a riled state depOsitng the sediment or
the decks and in the matches; this, however, is not
the case in the main harbor, and only tried this
vessel to test the machinery before going to work
at raising the heavier vessels The caissOns operat
ed as well as we expected, and at no time did VIC
use over one-ffth of their power. This, of course
demonstrates the entire feasibility of raising any
and every ship in the harbor of Sebastopol.o We
shall, undoubtedly, raise the whole feet this sum
mer. Next week we shall raise a steamer whole
and shall follow with raising all that are worth the
labor, whole, and blast with submarine charges the
balance.
The newspapers in America have done us great
injustice by circulating the reports that the
leans" had abandoned the work here thinking it
an impossibility. Now, the only "Ameriean" who
had contract with the Russian Government for
this work was John Z. Gowen, of Boston, the well
known and skillful submarine engineer, and this
contract is now owned by the Marine Exploring
Company of Philadelphia, of which Company Col.
Gowen is president. This company have expended
in cash about 100000 in outfit, &c, and have no
intention of abandoning the contract.
On the contrary, they have met with well de-
served success, and will, undoubtedly, reap a rich
harvest for their enterprise. Among other I'M
founded reports, that respecting the vessels being
rendered unfit for repairs and future USE by reason
OF the worms having eaten them badly. is untrue.
The "Smelya" is not badly worm-eaten; she had
two shot-hoes below the watcr-line, which were
fired by the allies and sunk her. We have repaired
them, and she now floats like duck upon the wa
ter. The Russians were much pleased at our sue
cess, DC.
