NEW YORK, August II The comments
and speculations of the English papers
concerning the Atlantic cable, received
by the China, are, in the absence of more
definite intelligence from the Great East.
ern, interesting On all hands it is agreed
that the injury to the cable must have
occurred after it left the ship. Rough
weather sufficient to have caused break
age of the cable is ont of the question,
as the instruments employed at Valentia
were so delicate as to record every lurch
of the bigship When the loss of insnla-
ton became known on board the Great
Eastern, it is supposed that those in
charge of the operations would order the
ship to be put back in order to nnderrun
the wire and discover the flaw. While
this operation was in progress, according
TO the writer in the London Times, a
brisk wind OF any roughness Of the sea
would compel the telegraph people to
cnt the cable at once and buoy it. The
report brought by the First Frnit" is
not absolutely inconsistent with the sup
position that this was done That sup
position is supported by fact that
while it was in latitude 81 deg, longi
tude 80 deg, that the insulation first be-
gan to give ont aud the Great Eastern
probably went some distance after this.
/! was in latitude - deg 40 min, aud
longitude 3S deg, one degree nearer Va
lentia than the First Fruit found the
buoy.
As to the possibility of recovering the
cable, should it have been buoyed as sug
geated, opinions differ The London Dali
" News mentions rs al encouraging
omen the fact that a cable now working
was fshed out of 600 fathomS Of water,
under less favorable circumstances
Should the worst anticipations be real
lied, and the cable be found to have part
ed, only about 500 miles of wire will be
lost as from 400 to 500 miles can be re-
covered from the Valentia end.

one end making its appearance from the coat pocket. We are told
however, that the love for gaudy colours is disappearing; and that
modesty and sensibiity are becoming increasingly apparent in the female
sex. In their names, the march Of intellect has extnguished the SamboSI
Pompcvs, and Darkeys of former days, and now the shining pickaninnies
rejoice in the appeiahons of tAdeine Floretta,' Rosaline Monemia,'
aFectations; but all this shows a progress towards refinement and civil
lsation, though some of its ofshoots are laughable. The same may be
said Of heir manners, in which a surprising Improvement has taken place.
tThe uncouth address and sulen aspect and carriage OF the slaves, has
been replaced by a great deal of graceful kindlness and ease towards
strangers, and a pohteness and respect to each other which may often
approach extravaganza, but is much better than the rough address go
common in many parts of England, among the working classes. No
negro peasant meets another without exchanging safutations and in
quiries. Age is particularly venerated, and the noisy little negroes at
their sport will stop while one of their old people are passing, with, 'How
d'e ma m and, How dye me picnee,' is the courteous reply. Every
one praises their generosity and kindness. To the miserable pauper
whites, who abound in some of the West Indies land whose squaor and
febeness show the wisdom of Canyles expectation that the West Indies
will some day be saved by a population of true spinters of the old
Harz rock, heroic white men, worthy to be called old Saxon,p they are
often known to act the part of guardian angels. They will work for
them, feed them, cothe them, without the slightest wish or prospect of
receiving remuneration. -
They are rising too with rapdHy in the social scale, and would
seem to be ft for any kind Of employment. Mr.. Baird mentions, chat
in the legislatures of many Of the islands, they are already sundry negro
members, a. we'll as many gentlemen of colour. When MI. Bigeow
visited Jamaica, there were ten or dozen coloured men IN the LegHa-
tive Assembly, which consists altogether of about fifty members; and the
police force, the Offices of the pentenhary, the Offices OF the courts Of
Justice, as we'll as some of the barriHers, were coloured men; and we
believe they have since been freely admitted to the magNtracy and to
though under slavery it was intensely strong; so much 60, that the
coloufed people were generally not allowed to be buried in the same
churchyard with the whites. Nay, at ST. Johns in Antigua, the church
bell was not allowed to be profaned by toling for the demise Of these5de-
graded people, and q smaller one was aotually. provided for that pur-
pose! LII .esa

In appearance very many of the negroes have by no means a dis
agreeable exterior. In fact The clever autboress of Antigua and the
Aniguans' declares that many of the creole negroes may be termed
very goodlooking. High and welEformed foreheads, black and sparkling
eyes, 'aquiine noses, and lips with only a slight pout, are not uncommon
though others of the same race are more like apes than human beings
Both lei and women. she tells rs, are seldom to be seen except in the
most becoming attire; the dress of the women generally consisting OF a
printed Or cotton gown, with a white handkerchief tied around their
heads like a turban and a neat straw hat trimmed with white rlbband.
But on high days and festivals, it must be owned that the spendour OF
the negro array is not in the purest taste. One of the writer's on the
West Indies was shocked by seeing a negress who actually was adorned
with pink stockings, yellow shoes, and a bonnet Of green trimmed with
pink, and displaying a blue rose with silver leaves! Silks, sanns, mus
Inns, and grapes are plenifuly used. and even the gentlemen will come
out on occasion in a truly glorious costume; With velvet collars. radiant
waistcoats, and boots expressly made to stamp and creak' well. They
all carry umbrellas, silk if possible and pocket-handkerchiefs, with
