THE QUEENS AND PRESIDENTS MESSAGES.
From the London Times, August %
We publish to-day the first fruits of the electric
communication which has been established between
the New and the Old World. The first message
sent from the Queen of EnglGnd to the Presi-
dent of the United States; the second the reply
from the other side. There is here far than
a formal interchange of compliments between the
heads of two powerful communities. We fully be-
eve that the effect Infringing the three Kingdoms
and the United States into instantaneous communi-
cation with each other will be to render hostili-
ties between the two nations almost impossible for
the future. Take example, the three last in
nf md nur
Transatlantic cousins.
These have becn-frst, as to the right of visiting
vessels with the view of aScertaining their nation
alitv secondly, the question of the fisheries: and
thirdly, that of the enstmGnts during the Russian
| War. Now it is not too much to say that the
most fiery politician in the States, who might have
been desirous of making little political capital ont
of these notable heads of quarrel. would have been
fairly checkmated if the English Government had
possessed the power of mdeceiving the American
public before the sparks had been famed into flame.
There ought not between two nations whose inter
csts are clearly identical to be anv points of differ
ence which honest Ministers ON either side could
not adjust in few hours by the help of the tan-
tic Telegraph. 1t is also certain that of the
! first results of this electric post will be
nous growth of the commercial relations between
the two countries.
Tradesmen arc not generally anxious to blow the
warehouses and stores of their best customers off
the face of the earth 1t is scarcely too much to
suppose that if the two great Anglo-SaXon States
remain trml united-fused together as they now
are, by this electric agcncy-he would be a bold
continental statesman who should venture to try
conclusions with them in warlikc way. United,
we are masters wherever there is salt water enough
to float ships boat. There can be stronger
guaranty for the peace of the world. We fear, how
ever, that the President of the United States is
somewhat sangune when he expects that other ma
tiOns will respect submarine lines of cOmmuni-
cation in case of war. The conclusion is a most de
srabe one, no doubt, and heartily shall rejoice
ift be attained but it is to be feared that the
nh mi nf oth will
scarcely extend so far. For the moment it must be
remembered that the cable oxlv extended between
two points of the British dominions, although the
first line is course but the fruitful parent of ma
ny others. minor, but still an important result,
of this new method ofinstantaneous communication
will be that the escape of malefactors from side
to the other will become an impossibility

Element. would be safe as he put himself on
board ship under the new system. Once there, he
would be fairly trapped, and find the officers of
justice waiting for him in the piot-boat on the
other side. 1t is with great satisfaction that
lay before our readers this day the messages of
the Queen Of England and Of the President of the
United States which have been thus exchanged in
simultaneously under the waters of the Atlantic.
| Well may Mr.. Buchanan write, 'This is triumph
more glorious, because far more useful to mankind,
than won by conqueror on the field of bat
tie" May the triumph be as lasting it is glo-
rious and bring forth fruit in the form of perpetual
amity and good will between the two great Anglo
Saxon communities?
THE LONDON TINES ON THE LANDOR CASE.
From the London Times, Aug. %.
What a strange and scandalOus story it is that
we published yesterday about the old age of Walter
Savage Landor He must be so old that one is
almost afraid to talk about his age lie has been
so famous writer in his time that it would have
been pleasant to think of him, if still alive,
rounded by troops of friends who soothing the
last furlong of his long pilgrimage. He should have

US of saving few words about the trial which took
| place at Bristol on Monday last, in which Mr.. Lam
| dor was defendant. The result was that the old
man to pay 81 900 as damages, besides his liza
bility for costs. Who read the report of the
proceedings without saying that it served him
right? The old poet 2an scarcely lay claim to i'm
punity on the ground offailing intellect.
1t must be admitted that in their own nasty way
and it is very nasty way-the verses of Landor's
old age are quite equal in point and vgor to the
golden produce of his prime. But it is such filthy
pont-such dirty vigor! Take Jonathan Swift's
impurest productions when he sat down for n reg
ular innings at drt-take the obscenest offscour
| ings of Martial, when the Roman poet was wallow-
ing in the very cesspool of the MUSES., and you will
have idea of the nature of Landor's recent itera
ry diversions. so far we have spoken of the old
mans offence Of one against decency and moral-
| ty. To describe it technically, according to the
form in which it was brought the other day before
| the Court we must, however, speak of it as the
publication of libel; and fouler libel than the
one brought home to him never written by
man What made the worse that he had
selected as the object of his attack lady whose
only fault seems 10 have been that she had been for
many years on intimate terms with her unmanly
traducer.
Mr.. Landor, as is sufficiently notorious, returned
to England many years ago weary of his Tuscan
expatriation. He fixed himself ultimately at Bath
| In that city he made the acquaintance of Mr.. and
| Mrs. Yescombe. The lady was the plaintiff in the
recent action. Acquaintance ripened by degrees
into friendship, or at least into intimacy, and for
many years Landor and the Yescombes were in con-
slant, almost daily, intercourse indeed, it appeared
that Landor was in the habit of dining with them
about three times week In their family there re
sided for some time young lady to whose name,
although it was mentioned at the trial, have no
wish to give any additional publicity. For some
cause unexplained it judged right that she
should leave the Yescombes and be removed to
