LoSDos, July g, 1865.
To-day brings us in London the news that
through the completion Of the Cable the du- |
ties OF correspondents arc over, so far, at auF |
rnte, as refers to the early transmission OF |
facts TO transatlantic readers. Hereafter, |
the duties Of ill.,. '"ttcr writer will be either
much simpler, or much more difficult than !
they have hitherto been. He will be COM
PEELED either to confine himself to those gen.
ernl descriptions Of life aud manners which |
always have certain degree Of interest, |
whether recorded in the book, magazine or
newspaper, or else he will have to assume nm !
editorial dignity, and gather up in the form
Of an epistoInry essay, the Lessons rather than
the mere occurrences Of the hour. The events
will come to you ten or twelve days earlier
than the letter, aud all that readers will care
for will be the philosophy Of the events.
And here Is splendid field, one worthy OF
ene powers. No man can dlsdain such a
post, for surely 1t is no light matter to draw
from the occurrences Of the hour their best
lessons
LESSONS OF THE HTDa PARE RIOTS.

your viyacious London correspondent but as
he Is intimate with many Of the men Hhose
names have been most conspicuous in direct
Ing the recent Reform movement, have
feared that he might not see another side
quite distinctly enough, and hence fail to
present Tito your readers. It is thought by
many here that great victory has been
gained. and that Toryism has been overpow-
cred. This seems to me to be partly true and
partly false. There is no doubt tina. the

the authorities have not carried their point,
and have really been beaten in their strong
hold. They failed for almost the first time
in English history, In doing what they hare
determined to DO: The ultza men are for
ward in proclaiming. that they have won q
great victory, and that the day when uni
versal suffrage shall be the rule Of England
is lnucl. nearer than It was week ago But
the loss which they have experimental il great
CT than their gain. Had they made their de-
ties would willingly have granted them. they
would have called together, not 200 ,000 peo-
pie JUDGED, but enough to shaw that

party, md worse yet, that spirit Of distrust

the display Of the machinery by which the
movements are made, indicates that mcn
