GREAT BRITAIN.
whe MsUsut Cable Ba.qust ProAOuAOsd
Humbug and y Failure.
From the London Army and Macy Gazette.
The international fraternity humbug is going
q lNtle too far 1t is all very we'll tor MIR. Bright
to praise the great nation which occupies North
America and these isles as one and the same.
Bat to make a British Secretary OF War aud a
British Admir- al supremeiy ridiculous and uneasy
by puaing them forward to return thanks Tor
the United States army and the British army,
and the United htaies Lazy aud the British navy,
as the two services OF both countries L. to say the
least infel cltously imprudent: Admiral Milne
must have remembered on Wednesday night that
he was at one time in hourly expectatlon OF
conflict with the U. s. navy and SIR John Pakine-
ton must know that at this very moment no
small eXpense and anxiety are caused III Brit
ish province by menace OF Invasion from the
United States territory, IN which vast number,
as we are told, of West Point graduates" have
offered their services. We can att Ird to be on
very good terms with the United States
army aud the Uni'ed States navy
without making our statesmen aud officers ap.
pear absurd and unnationa. When an American
Admiral lately wanted to tickle the ears OF the
Great Nation with little oiled feather, he
boosted that one of his ships could cross the
Atlantic and lombard any of our towns With
impupity, and il any Britisher desires 10 under
stand how wide is The chasm between the Eng
lfsh people on this side OF the Atlantic and Mr..
Brghps baud on the other, he will attend
a good Independence Days speechmaking.
Sir John Pakington swallo we'd his
pill like man. He spoke of the great Union
army, and he was wise enough not to
speak OF the great Confederate army. Admiral
Mime whose swallow is not so capacious, rolled
his glooule over and over in his mouth, aud did
not get 1t down clear at all, but he had some
hol est laudatiou tor q great sailor, Farragut,
whom we can all admire as an American q I'm raj,
without returning thanks tor him. Mr.. Fields
bar ouet was not success. There were many
anG some great people, but the pompous irigldity
OF the Highland" chairman was enough to kill
picnic, and all the speakers seemeo emulous
Of the cbarman's dulness. and were mostly his
not easily triumphant rivals. The "UnIted
Services toast was climax in bad taste. 1t is
not a reason for us TO forget our proprletV that
an Atlantic cable has been laid for commercial
purposes and for the interchange OF messages,
and we DEFY Mr. Bright or any philosopher to
chow how such work Conduces 10 the peace of
the two countries ALWAYS except in so far as it
adds body of shareholders to the peace p Irty.
Ar other Irish Church DemSnstratiOn.
1t has been decided. in accordance with the
wish of q great NUMBER of Protestant electors
near London, TO hold great demonstration in
support of the Established Church in Ireland.
Within the past few days 1T has been arranged
to hold this demonstration in the Crystal Palace,
and the 18th OF August has been named as the
day. The committee having charge of the
arrangement promise to issue programme of
the proceedings as soon as possible, an invite
the assistance OF clergymen of local committees.
