the Derby Day. Aristocratic England becomes
for once thoroughly democratic, and out Of the
quarter of a million spectators who make their
way from London toward EPSON, not one is ex-
empt from the chances of war in an encounter of
words with the most loud-voiced and coarse
tongued Briton ''on the road" who NAV feel that
true equality exists for one day in the year at
least, and determines to avail himself of the
privilege after his own fashion
we do not suppose that anything of the kind
Will ever be naturalized in this country. New
York to begin with, is the only city in America
capable OF furnishing the vast crowds essential
TO a scene like the great London Saturnalia.
ana although the turf bids fair to become more
ana more popular in New York every year there
are no signs as yet that any of our race meetings
III the neighborhood will degenerate into wild
popular orgie; and SUCH after ALL is the Derby
we trust that while our various charming turf
gatherings near New York will continually in
crease In popularity, and yearly afford opportu-
mtles Tor amusement and recreation to a large
number of all classes, they will never lapse into
occasions of stupid eXcesses and general rowdi-
ness, such as we generally read of in connection
with the great London sporting holiday.

WHERE THE PERT LANDED HER CARGO
From the n. y. san.

from Ue " J. . sun.
Some doubts have been expressed as to the
possibility of effecting the landing of arms and
ammunition destined for the use of the Cuban
PATRIOTS in view of the coasts of the island being
guarded by some thirty-eight to forty Spanish
war steamers.
The Perit accomplished the Decentralization of
her cargO-a most useful one for the Cubans-in
the bay of Nipe. The entrance to this bay, capa-
BILE of holding the navies of the world, is nearly
due south of Point Lucreta, on the north coast
and distant some one hundred miles from Cape
Maisi, the eastern point of the island The en-
frances to the bays of Nipe and Levisa, two of
the most land locked and safe harbors on the
whole island, are distant only some four to five
leagues. The shores of these bays are covered
with dense virgin forests of mahogany, cedar,
and other still more valuable timber
But the entire coasts of Cuba, north and south,
present such an immense number of perfectly
well-cOncealed harbors, that it would require a
navy far more numerous and more efficient than
that of Spain to make blockade running hazar-
dous.
Again the very many starting points which
the geographical position of Cuba offers is au
essential consideration. Good, safe harbors are
within n twenty-four hours sail by fast steamer
from any port in Florida, from Yucatan, from
Jamaica, from Santo Domingo, from Porto Rico
and from any of the keys in the old Bahama
channel.
When once enterprising men are convinced
that cargo of arms and ammunition success
fully landed will be paid for in cash. even the
thirty gunboats which Spain is reported to be
building in the various ship yards of this country
will be Intellectual to stop the supply of war ma
terial to the Cubans.

JAMAICA REVIyING
From the ". y. Tribune.

from the n. y. Tribune.
According to all accounts, affairs at Jamaica
are beginning to exhibit pleasing signs of re-
turning prosperity. For the first time in great
many years, revenue has recently got ahead of
expenditure; and the Governor has inst an
nounced that the colony, which has been for
long time past unable to meet its liabilities is
now completely solvent. The revenue of the
last financial year was sufficient not only to
meet all the expenditures for that period. but
to cover deficit of nearly half a million of
dollars on the previous two years; and as the
revenue for the current year promises, so far. to
be at least equal to that of the last there is
every probability of there being a considerable
surplus at the end of the last quarter. Mean
time agriculture and trade are reported to be
reviving all over the island, and hopeful
spirit, it would seem, now pervades all classes
OF the population. Such a change from the
distressed and almost desperate condition in
which Sir John Grant found the island when he
assumed the government two years and half
ago, speaks volumes for his administration. As
to the Improvement in financial affairs this is
not owing to any actual increase of the revenue
which is not larger now than the eayerage annual
receipts of the decade preceding the deplOrable
events of 1868; but it has been brought about
principally by the rigid economy with which the
public money is expended under the present re-
gime-all offices not absolutely necessary for the
requirements of the public service, and all sine
cures-of which Jamaica had her full share
having been abolished. Taxation too, is more
equitably assessed than ever before, the result
being that the great bulk of the people pay their
taxes with a readiness and cheerfulness utterly
unknown under the old state of things. We now
have proof that it was planter rule, and not the
alleged Incidence of the blacks, that made
Jamaica a proverb of poverty and wretchedness
for the last quarter of a century.

1t is not easy for any foreigner who has not

that the Derby is the most important OF an Eng

OUR NEW MINISTER TO ENGLAND-PRE
PARTITIONS FOR HIS ARRIVAL.

PARATIONS FOR HIS ARRIVAL.
From the NJ Y. Herald.
A cable despatch from Liverpool informs us
that the Chamber of Commerce of that city have
held meeting and voted an address of well
come to Mr.. Motley, the new American Minis
ter. The tone of the meeting does not appear to
have been unfrendly to the United States. A
Mr.. Patterson delivered speech of a very diff
ferent character from that which was wont to
be more familiar to us in connection with the
name of Liverpool. 1t is quite manifest that the
merchants of Liverpool have higher respect
for the United States than they had some five or
six years ago. 1t is something to hear the Liver
pool Chamber of Commerce talking of n mode
rate compensation for the depredations of the
Alabama.
1t is fair we think to infer that it is the deter
mination of Englshmen to make convert of
Minister Motley as they formerly made con-
vert of Minister johnson. Motley, however, is
not Johnson. He is not only less diner-Out,
but less talIer than his predecessor. Mr.. Mot
| ley, however, is in danger. His literary reputa-
tion and tastes will bring him into relationship
with a powerful and seductive class. He is the
| only great American writer who has written
| about England and England's doings during n
| great crisis as if he were himself an Engishman.
! Mr.. Motley is already immensely popular on the
| other side If it had been President Grants in
| tention to pay Great Britain n compliment he
! could not have made more admirable selection.
1t remains to be seen what effect the attention
of lords and dukes the smiles of titled ladies
! the praises of learned men and the honOrs OF
learned societies will have on this new represen.
tative of republican America at the aristocratiC
