The non-arrival of the Great Eastern al
Hearts Content, and the fact that the
Sphynx. q eonsort of thst vessel, which had
been left behind by it in stress of weather,
had arrived there Without seeing her,
practicAlly y settle the question IS TO the fail
ure of the Atlantic Gable. We cannot say
that we greatly regret ihe result Owned
by British capital, lain between two British
islands, and run especially for Brit
ish interests, its success or fsiiure
will have but little effect upon
the American nation, Whils the exorbitAnt
rates which were TO be charged for trans
mittlng messages would have confined its
benefits to the few, to the exclusion and
sometimes the detIiment of the many. In
case OF war with Great Britain it would
have been potent instrument against US.
The true line for telegraph connecting
America and Europe is that now being
laid by Colonel Buckley, via. Russian
America, Siberia and Petersburg, Of this
we shall have more to say in future.
The fact that the Sphynx, although it
followed the prescribed route saw nothing
of the Great Eastern, is inexplcsble. 1t
seems hardly possible that that vessel has
either sunk or devisted greatly from hel
intended course, and the fact can hardly
be accounted for in any other way. A few
days, however will solve the mystery.

The Family Affairs Of Queen Victoria
The domestic life of Queen Victoria hiss
been much disturbed of late in consequence
Of the proposed marriage of her third
daughter, the Princess Hslena, an accom-
plished young lady, who resembles her
mother in appearance and character more
than any other of her children. It is geIs
orally believed in London that the Prin-
cess Helena was much pleased with the a.
tentiOns Of young English nobleman, and
this fact was sufficient to make htr
speedy alliance with q member of some
Of the royal families of Europe q ne
cessity, in order to prevent the deepening
of her affection for 8 person whom she
would not be permitted to marry, the men,
bers of the royal family in England not
being st liberty to marry outside Of
other royal families. Now, there seems to
be the two candidates in the feld-the
crown prince Of Denmark, who is support
ed by his sisier, the Princess of Wales, and
who is deemed unot jeeiionable by the
Queen and the crown Prince of Holland,
tine Prince of OrsDge), who is quite 3
fashionable and handsome young fell
low, more acceptable to the young lady
than the Danish Prince, but less agreeable
70 the Queen, on account of his gre.t
fondness Tor life in Paris, and his gene
raj rsPidity. But the Princes mother,
the Queen of Holland, being one Of
the most learned as well as one Of the
most msneuvering sovereign ladies Ct
Europe, has just paid visit TO London
In order to effect the desired alliance,
which must be very popular in Holland.
She telegrsphed for her SON TO join her
there and sll was believed TO be settled
But Queen Victoris's scruples in regard to
the young mans frivolous disposition hsVe
once more revived, and it will require All
the Diplomatic genius Of the Dutch queen,
great as it is to over come these objections.
At the same time the King of HOllandi
who, being the mental inferior Of his
wife, tries to revenge himself by thWarting
her schemes in every possible way, wants
his son TO become the husband Of the
daughter of the blind King Of Hanover.
1t is probable, however, that the Prince Of
Orange will eventually carry of his Hell
ena, and in England the alliance would no
doubt be looked upon more fsvorsbly than
the addition Of another German prince tC

A Physician Shot for kissing His Pa
tient.
rFrom tho Grand Rapids, Mich EasIe.1

From tho Grand Rapids, Mich Eagle
A terrible tragedy took place in Leigh
ton, Allegan county, recently, resulting in
the death of q citizen of that township. 1t
appears fom the information we have
been able 10 gather OF the melancholy oc-
currence, that the rash act was caused with
out any real foundation, by the promptings
of that green eyed monster called jealousy.
John Bright, Union soldier, returned
from the service on Monday last with the
determination, IS evinced, TO kill DR.. Col
burn, of that place, whose moral reputs-
ton was not good, for insulting his wife,
which insult is said TO be no more or less
than that the Doctor was seen, when upon
q professional call upon Mrs Bright, some
time since, TO kiss her, which liberty was
resented by his wife, and the physicisn dis
charged. Hearing of this affair from some
communicative friend, before and after his
return, Mr.. Bright resolved on shooting
the offender. Meeting the Doctor in the
road on the afternoon Of the fatal day, the
affair was talked over, and an amicsble
settlement agreed upon, by which the Doc
tor was to call at BrighVs house the next
morning, talk the mstter over, and make
the GneTde homo able as far as possible be-
fore and to Mrs. Bright.
Here the parties turned from each other
70 their respective homes, and they had
gone but 9 lew steps when Bright, stopping
turned suddenly around, and in 8 violent
manner said to the Doctor: 1--WE will set
tie the matter right here, this evening"
Accompanying the words TO the action, he
drew g revolver from his pocket and shot
the Doctor when not oYsr six PAGES from
him, the Ball striking him in the side and
passing entirely through his body. The
Doctor then started on a run towards q
msrsh close by, and the assassin, thinking
he hsd not hit him, fred at him without
effect twice more, and snapped his pistol
3 third time. His weapon falling TO fire on
the fourth attempt TO discharge it, he threw
it away IS being worthless.
Bright seeing the Doctor still alive and
cared for by the citizens, who had gathered
on the alarm, said that he was sorry he
had not killed him. The Doctor lived un'
til the next morning, when death put an
end to his suffsrings, Bright stayed at hii
home until the next day, stating that he
would stand all trials, when, doubtless, be
coming frightened in view Of the result o
the case, he left, and has not been hesrC
from by the authorities or the people Il
that locality.

FINANCIAL.


NEW YORK, August IL.
Stock market dull. TIE decline in gold
has checked the speculation for rise, and
there is rather more disposition to put out
shorts on weaker stocks. At the first
board prices were lower throughout the
list, with a prevailing disposition to sell.
Toward the close of the day the market
became stronger and the downward move:
ment was arrested. Governments steady.
For old 5 2O's there is 3 steady export de-
msnd. The decline in gold produced an
equalization in prices at New York and
London, which may temporarily check
shipments. State bonds quiet, and market
without any material change Miscella-
neous shares lower. -
The only topic Of importance on Wall
street is the fall ia gold, which is attributed
partially to Treasury sales and partly to
the failing ability of some of the heavy
holders to carry their burdens, especially
as several large gold loans have been ab-
ruptly called in. The downward move
ment in gold, together with the strength Of
government securities, has given frmer
tone to foreign exchange. There is more
demsnd for money. The rate is firm ct
per cent. on call loans.

Ever sincs the Napoleonic frmness

Peaca Conference" Mr.. GreeIey's pet
project, and thus made personal enemy
of Mr.. Greeley, the New York Tribune
has Joined with the cOppsrheads in endeav-
Oring to bring the Secretary of War into
disrepute. For that purpose il pub
lished some time since card from
Mr.. Browne, one of the prisoners who e.
capped from Salisbury with A. D. Richard
son, snd now reporter for the Tribune,
charging that Secretary Stanton was re-
sponsible for preventing the exchange of
prisoners between the United States and
the rebels, and that therefore ne was the
digger of the unnamed graves that crowd
the vicinity of every Southern priton with
historic and never-to be-foTgotten horrors.1
Granting Mr.. Brownies premises, We 60
not appreciate the logic by which he
arrives at his conclusion but even
his premises have been proven false. 1t
has been conclusively shown that the re.
sponsibiIity of preventing an exchange of
prisoners rested with the rebels and not
with Secretary Stanton. Mr.. Browne has,
however, returned TO the charge, and the
Tribune publishes another card from him,
of which the telegraph gives Us 3 synopsis.
Mr.. Brown is the author of the extremely
sensational and highly fictitious descrip-
tion of the burning of Bssnum's Museum,
which appeared in the New York Tri-
6lne, and which has excited the smuse-
meat of half the newspaper readers in
the country. The public are at liberty to
decide the comparative weight of his tes-
timony and that which contradicts il.
