want of water, but because the channel is too
crooked for vessel OF her immense length.
Captain Comstock thinks that as a passenger
ship, the Great Eastern might be run between
New York and some European port with profit,
because she would not necessarily draw toe
much water to enter the harbor, If she carried
little or no freight, or depot might be formed
for her the other side of Hellgate, which after
all would bo as near New York as many ships
approach to the head of London. ...-...,

chants, and desire, if she shall prove CONNER :

her one of the regular line ofpackots to India.
"Thsy talk of building five more steamers
of similar monster proportions, for the India
trade; but of course that will depend upon the

will be run regularly to this port"

The International Cricket Match.

MONTREAL, September 2G.
The international Cricket Match has been
resumed to-day. The game was stopped at
twilight, the sun shining in the faces of tho
batsmen, with four wickets to fall on the side
of the Canadians. England's first innings
were III; Canada's second innings, 43. The
Englishmen are to play in tho morning to
make IL on their second innings. ..
The % are laughed at by their friends, who
betntwo to one on the 22 of the St. Georges
Club. Tho English II play splendidly, and it
is a perfect picture to see them; it is believed,
however, that they will find their equals in the
90 at HobOken. There were 5000 persons on
the ground, and the military band played some
fine selections during the day. There were
many ladies, military officers and heads Of de-
partments present as witnesses to the match.
The. play was resumed at nna o'clock to-day,
Ellis joining Smith, who was in last night.
Smith was bOwled by Parr for II runs, which
were got by very pretty play. The remainder
Of the score stood Smith b. Parr II runs; Ellis
b. Parr runs Prior and Coffin b. Parr run;
Tilstone, not out, none; making tho total Of

1t is intimated that the allied forces had

Additional from China.

NEW YORK, September u.
A letter from China to the EUeni,i5 Pest
asserts that tho English fleet attempted to as
cend the wrong mouth Of the river, while the
Chinese deputies were waiting for them at the
right place. n".
The writer also say that the commercial
men in Shanghai all deprecate the hasty and
ill-advised proceedings of the English. -
The Heralds correspondent on board the u.
S. steamer Po,rkatan, in letter dated July .,
gives the following account Of the relations ex-
listing between the Chinese and the present
American Minister 7're r .--.s'
"Last Wednesday June 3O) the Torq,lan
went in search Of another entrance to tho river
Pehio, and returned during the day with tho
report that they had landed with an interpreter
at small town near q stream, and just had
time to give the Minister'S letter to Chinese
official, when troop of mounted cavalry was
discovered galloping toward them, some thou
sands strong. All hands very naturally took
to 'Shank's mares as fast as they could carry
themselves to the boat, returned and made o
report of their failure, which created some mer-
riment. II was given up for certainty that
John Chinaman was not going to receive Mr.
Ward. Yesterday, however, at eight A. NJ,
two large junks loaded with produce came
within short distance of us and anchored.
A small boat, lowered from one Of the junks
and having on board Chinese official bearing
an answer to our Minister'S letter, immediately
came alongside. The answer was in the high
est degree favorable. 1t seems the party who
landed from the Iorquan had been mistaken
for the English, and the cavalry which chased
them to their boat was part of guard four
thousand strong, which was to have escorted
Mr.. Ward to Pekn, and had been waiting sew
cral days in expectation Of his daily arrival.
The produce, a present for our Minister, con-
sisted af nineteen hogs, nineteen sheep, thirty
three sacks of flour, nineteen sacks Of rice, be.
sides ducks, chickens, geese, eggs and vegeta-
bles in great quantities.
"Tho answer to his letter stated that this
commissioner would send pilot to bring his
ship up the river eight miles.
IA great deal Of correspondence has since
passed between the officials, the British men
of-war in close proximity"

The Revolution in Venezuela.

DOSrON, oeptemoeT ~.
file of the ST. Thomas Tidende to Septem-
ber ], received at this port, contains an i'm
portant document, showing the terrible con-
dition of affairs in Venezuela, whero q war Of
races, famed by political and military aspi-
rants, is rapidly depopuating that country.
The document in question is an appeal for pro-
lection from the foreign Consuls at Ciudad, Bo-
livia, to the Governors of the French, English
and Danish West India Islands.
In the appeal the Coz suls say that the con-
test now going on is not one of ordinary revo-
luton, having for its object political end;
but on the contrary, the motto now is, VIC.
lence, death and pillagc. The acts of atrocity
committed by these vandals are, they say, 50
numerous that it would he difficult to emu
merate them. In the provinces of the inte-
ror, whole communities with their inhabi-
tants have disappeared. Nothing but foreign
Intervention will save the country from en-
tire destruction. ......

Washington correspondence.

NEW YORK, September G7.
The Times's Washington correspondent
says: The report that President Mora de-
signed returning to Costa Rica and appealing
10 the people is without foundation. He re-
mains in New York to await news from home.
Instructions will be sent to Mr.. Dimetry
on the 9TH of October, directing him to recog-
nize at once the new government and open
negotiations for the settlement of American
claims.
lntimations received in diplomatic circles
here would justify the belief that England
and France will again be allied in terrible
war, and that China will be made to suffer
severely for her late attack upon the English
troops. The rumor that Russia had a finger
in it is fully credited.
1t is believed that Major Cross's case viii

fhe Great Eastern.

New YORK, September u.
The Heratd'sreporter had az interview, yes
terday, with Captain Gomstock, lately of the
Collins steamer Baltic, who came home as a
passenger in the Vanderbilt.
Captain Comstoek commanded the Russian
frigate General admiral on her voyage from
New York to Cronstadt. He has taken great
interest in the steamship Great Eastern from
the commencement, and has visited her every
few months while in course of construction,
and on the invitation Of Captain Harrison, her
commander, and the Board Of Directors, he
accompanied her on her recent trip, and hap
pened to be on deck at the time of the fatal
steam explosion, off Hay Tongs, on the eyen-
ing of the 9Th inst. Captain Comstock is
highly pleased with the steamer, and pro-
nounces her perfect success so far as naviga-
tOn is concerned, and is oven enthusiastic on
the subject Of her performance. Many have
the impression that the late trip was trial trip
for speed, but this is an entire mistake. The
trip was made simply for tho purpose of re-
moving the ship from the Thames to spot
where she could be coaled and put in proper
trim for trial trip.
The Great Eastern is to be prepared for hel
trial trip as soon as the repairs necesstated by
the explosion can be completed. Her trial
1
trip will be from Portland to Holyhead, ant
| according to the present arrangements, sh,
will sail from Holyhead for Portland, Maine
on the 2eth October.
1t has been fully decided by the Board o
Directors that from Portland, Maine, tn
Great Ea0tsrn shall come on an excursion tri,
to Now York, by way of Sandy Hook. Thi
is positively settled, and was determined upol
shortly before the ship left the Thames. Cap
tains Comstock and Harrison were questione
on the subject before the Board of Directors
and both Concurred in the opinion that tho shi
can enter the harhor over the bar at Sand
Hook, drawing 24I4 feet Of water, with perfet
safety. The famous clipper-ship Great RepuI
lie crossed the bar safely, drawing some inchs
over twenty-five feet. 1t was then arrange
that at Portland, Maine, the Grcat Easter
shall be lishtened to the required draught, an
then proceed on her excursion to this city, vi
Sandy Hook. .......
Captain Comstock is of the opinion that Ii
Great Eastern can not cross the bar safely OF
cept at the spring tides, which occur once
