GREAT BRITAIN.
The London Times, in an editorial article com
planning of the trouble entiiled upon neutrnls
by the occurrence of such episodes as that of the
TuscarorA mud Nashville at Southampton, rejoicei
that government has stepped in with measure
calculated to stop such annoyances. 1t thinks
government has acted very wisely, and has me-
ted out equal measures TO both parties.
The Morning Post speaks in similar strain,
and thinks Earl Russel's letter will give uniyer-
sal satisfaction. It says the immediate effect Of
the publication of the circular will be the depar
ture Of both the Nashville and Tusoarora from
Southampton, and it charges the captain Of the
latter with all sorts Of irregularities during the
presence of his vessel Mt Southampton.
The London Observer, in an article relative to
n telegraph between Europe and America, says!
"Thero is reason to believe that attempts will
shortly be made to connect England and America
once more by the electric telegraph and this
time with greatly increased prospects Of perma-
nent success. Recent occurrences have i'm
pressed the governments of England and of the
United States with the enormous Importance Of
such means of communication, and the Presi-
dent and government OF the United States have
decided on giving every support in their power
10 any well considered project Of that kind. The
government of the United Stntes have in liberal
manner, offered to subscribe one half of the sum
which would be required for making the cable,
md give the use of vessels of their navy in as
sisting to lay it, provided the British government
will grant the remaining portion of the sum.

Of the Federas, and two hundred aud something

that they had better give up, for that Of fghtn
