LATEST FROM THE GREAT EASTERN Dis
eouraging Prospects of the Sea- -Monster.-The
Board of Directors of the Great Eastern
Company have Just published a report, in
which they justify the course they have
taken in recommending the postponement
of Atlantic trips by the monster ship. They
state that the latter, during her stay in the
various American ports, was visited by l9O,-
coo persons, her receipts amounting to $75,-.
600. This sum has betrayed the expenses of
the ship; but an additional outlay of $4,000
must be made before the ship can be got
ready for steady work. A further sum OF
500 900 being still due on the cost of con-
struction of the mammoth of the sea, the
Directors regard the prospects Of the under
taking as being extremely discouraging,

following explanatory resolutions:
FirSf, Tlat the government OF u Territory organ
iZed by act OF Congress is provisional and tempo
rary, and during It's existence all citizens Of the Uni
ted States have equal right to settle with their
property IN the Territory without their rights, either
of person property, being destroyed or impaired
hy Congressional or territorial legislation.
.I'Ond, That ii is the duty Of the Federal Govern
men', in all its departments, to protect, when no.
crssary. the rights Of persons and property in the
Territories, and wherever else Its constitutional
thorty extends.
Third. That when the settlers IN q Territory hav-
ing an adequate population, form State constitu-
ton, the tight Of sovereignty commences, and being
cnIsunma'rd by admission into the Union they stand
nh equal footing with the people Of other States,
aud the State thus organized ought to be admitted
into the Federal Union, whether its Constitution pro-
hibits or recognizes the institution Of slavery.
Res0ired, That the Democratic party are In favor
Of the acquisition Of the Island Of CCba such terms
as will be honorable to ourselves and Just to Spain
At the earliest practical moment
RtSOLred, That the enactments OF State legisla-
lures 10 defeat the faithful execution Of the fugitive
slave Law, hostile In character subversive Of the
Constitution, and revolutionary In their effect.
Res0ired, That the Democracy Of the United States
recognize It as the imperative duty Of this Govern
ment to protect the natnralized citizen in all his
rights, whether at home In foreign lands to the
same extent as its native-born citizens.
Whereas, One Of the greatest necessities Of the
are IN political, commercial, postal and military
point Of view, 10 = speedy communication between
the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. Therefore, be 1t

Quick IN THE AprIIcATIoN.--"It amazes
me that ministers don't write better ser
mons; am sick Of their dull, prosy dis
courses" said lady in the presence of
parson.
"But it is no easy matter, my good wo-
man, to write good sermons" suggested
the minister.
"Yes," rejoined the lady, "but you are
SO long about it. l could write one in
half the time if only had the text"
"Oh, if text is all you want" said
the parson, ~ will furnish that. Take
this from Solomon: 1t is better to dwell

response, "you will never make a good
