DEPARTMENT from AIatanzas, May 9th,
that he Is surprised TO find that the feel

had been led to expect in Havana. In
fact, from appearances, stranger in

There are TumOr5 that Trinidad is
cnvirOned by Il large force of the insur-
gents, and also q report that that place
Is in their possession. At Guatimas
on the south side Of the Island, the
:nsUrrectiOn i said TO be exceedingly
strong. in consequence of the success
ful landing Of an expedition in that
district and in a recent engagement
with the Spaniards, the latter were
defeated. One thing that Is positive, ]
however, Is that the actual or sup
posed successful landing Of these eXpe-
ditiOns has infused new life in the in
surgents, which, TO all appearances,
was dying out some two weeks ago.
AttOrney-General fIOar has submit /
ted alengthy opinion to the Secretary /
of War, in which he says he finds no /
reason in law for the President with |
holding his approval from the finding |
ofthe Military Commission in the case I
of John L. Bearer, a citizen of
Texas, who was convicted of murder /
and sentenced 70 be hung. The ques- .
ton involved was whether a Military |
Commission in Texas, in September,
1865, had jurisdiction over q citizen I
not il the naval or military service.
Authority Is therefore found by the
Acknowledgement in the statute of
March 3, 1867, placing certain rebel
States, including Texas, under mill
tary control, which act was operative
in Texas because she had not adopted .
a constitution in conformity with the
other provisions Of the act, and all the
acts OF Congress are to be presumed
constitutional unless the contrary
plainly appears.

t-Ati-e's
eI f."
The Pm HdU G,lzefie says: Few
probably beyond those connected with
India know that there. Is an India
Museum in HORTON, Il was some
time ago transferred from Fife House
to the yet greater Obscurity of an at
tic in the New India Office, which the
visitors on Fridays might very thor
Oughly explore without suspCcGng
the existence Of the Museum. It IS
second only in national Importance to
the British Museum. Its chief value
lies of course in its speciality. Ibis
not snlatteTing Of everything, and
thorough in nothing, but is restricted
to the illustration OF the natural his
tory and raw products and manufac-
lures and arts Of India, and this it
does, in most of rs sections, very
completely. The collection of raw
products, mineral, vegetable and anti
NAL, is exhaustive.
The collection of architectural orna-
ments and NEUROLOGICAL objects is alb
soluteIy unique, although much yet
remains to be done by means of paint
ings and photographs to illustrate the
varied architecture of India. There
is a case Of cut Jade and crystal bowls,
sword handles and other objects, en-
crulsted with gold and, gems; and Of
the white marble mOSaic5 of RajpOO-
tanO and Can1bay agates; and cases
innumerable of jeWelry and enamels
of the exquisite filagre silver of Cut
tack, of ivory carvings from Bengal
and sandal wood, carvings and inlaid
work from Bombay, of Sindh and
Cashmere lacquered ware, and of
Kottkari," "Bederi," and other
show. The Bombay inlaid work is
evidently derived from the similar
work of Sorrento and Girgenti, The
designs are indeed all geOmctrical,
but each .geometFical figure can at
once be identified with the particular
flower in the italian work which it
represents. In the similar works
made in Persia the designs are inter-
mediate in character, and it is always
vanished, as if, it would seenlf to
| initiate wood,
The cases Of Delhi embroidery,
Dacca muslins, Cashmere shawls, and
Ahmedabad " "Kinkoba" can be lik-
ened to nothing else than a rainbow
taken down from the sky and hung
round the room. In all. these eNquis-
ite textures two influences would
seem to be combined-one of color
coming up from the bright dye-lands
of Southern India and Geylon, and
the other of forms from the north,
from Persia, and probably Greece and
Italy. There is one Ahmedabad
"Kinkob" distinctly Byzantine in
character, and yet distinctly of All
medabah. In fact, one distinctly real
ICES here that from France to India
the same general influences have per-
vaded in art manufactures. And yet
! between India and China and Japan
a deep gulf is fixed.
The natural history collection is
very complete so far as it goes. The
birds of India are fully represented,
but the entire absence of an Indian
herbarium is most deplorable. The
old company always especially en-
couraged botany, and so got possessed
of two or three splendid collections of
dried Indian plants; but under the
new regime these have been distrib-
uted.

Ina french stIsatie easle.

The following additional particulars
Of theFrench cable enterprise are Civ
en- by the London Daily Ne1rS:
"The French cable, as it is famil-
iarly called, has been made, and will
be laid from English ships, by En-
glishmen, the Telegraph Construction
and Maintenance Company, having
undertaken the contract, Sir Sanuef
Canning being the engineer in chief of
the expedition, and the Great Eastern
having been chartered for the work.
Indeed, substituting Rrest for Valen-
tir, and st. Pierre for Hearts Content,
the entire process recalls the laying of
the lines now worked by the Anglo
American Company. The present ca
bic is some twelve hundred miles
longer than either of its professors. 1t
is divided into several sections, and
has been manufactured at the Kate Of
$50 miles q week ever since the con-
tract was accepted. Up to yesterday
it was within a hundred miles of COM
pletion, and was nearly all shipped
on board the vessels appointed to carry
it out. Thus the Great Eastern carries
1852 miles, or about 100 more than
when it left with the Anglo-American
its vast receptacles being made still
vaster, and its main tapk c0nsidera-
bly, enlarged, ... r..
!" With this cargo the great ship viii
leave her present resting place in the
Medway about the 10th of June, and
viii proceed to Portland. Here a few
days viii be spent in taking in coal,
after which she will go to an appoint
ed spot some FIVE and a halfmiles from
Brest. One of the vessels of the expe-
dition (the Chiltern) viii in the mean
time have laid the heavy shore end,
and this viii be buOyed out to sea at
the distance named. The Great Eas-
tern viii, somewhere about the 10th of
June, pick it up, and after splicing and
testing, viii set about her regular
work Of cable-laying, under Sir Sam
uel Canning and his staff. She will
be accompanied by the Scanderia, a
fine vessel of 1900 tons and $40 feet
long, now lying alongside her in the
Midway, and by the Chiltern, both
ships being fitted up with graphing
irons, buoys, and picking-up machine
ry, which are identical in every re-
spect with those on board the Great
Eastern herself.

A Huge Swindle.

SOME facts have come to light within
few days which go to show that an enormous
swindle has for some time been in opera
ton, the victims being wellto-do country
men, generally, SO far as we are enabled to
ascertain The extent of the Swindle, or
the names of the operators, has not yet
transpired, but from what we have been
al lie to gather, we are led to believe that a
number of men, some of them residents OF
this city, have been engaged in the enter
prise. The swinde is a new one, and the
swindlers have exhibited considerable in
genuity in carrying out their plans. The
mode of operating scenes to have been as
follows: A misunderstanding parsonage
would present himself in country town,
and, having procured the name of some
substantial man, he would at once pro-
coed to pay his respects to said man of sub
stance informing him that he represented
an important patent right interest in a
gang plow and potato digger, agricul-
tural implements which must in time COM
mand large sale, The patent right man
did not wish to dispose of the patent, he
only wished to intrust his business, in
particular locality in which he might be,
to a responsible person, in whose energy
and integrity he could rely. The man he
addressed was Just the person who had all
the lofty qualifications he required, No
capital was required, and no great loss of
time was demanded by the business Our
patent man simpyiproposed to send to our
country friend a number ofmachincs, from
the sale OF each Of which he was to retain
for his services as agent the sum Of S25.
These machines were to be distributed as
the agent saw iit that they might be prop.
vrly tested by farmers, the patent operator
being satisfied that every machine would
hc an irresistible argument in ivor of its
purchase. The cOuntryman 81 eng no pos
sible chance for losing by the enterprise,
but ON the contrary regarding the thing
with favor inaSmuch as ii promised q
very handsome return for an ordinary
show Of enterprise accepted the agency,
\ contract was of course necessary; it
was produced by the manipulation OF gang
plowS and potato dEggrs; IL was printed

The Greatness Of London.

WE have seen thus far nothing more
marvellous than the yastness OF London.
At first sight it seems much like other
large cities, but a visit to its busy thor
oughlares, and its places Unpopular resort
soon makes one realize that he is III the
metropolis Of the world. There is no one
principal avenue which alone shows the
travel and traffic of London to the extent
that Broadway represents New YORK IN
fact that would seem impossible IN CITY
ten or twelve miles long by eight or nine
broad On London bridge, however, and
along such streets rs the Strand ana
Cheapside, may be seen every pleasant at
ternoOn mass of vehicles and moving
humanity such as it is tirtsome to gaze at
a long time. To appreciate the size oil
London, one must also make excursions
toward the outskirts in different dlrec.
tons, where will be found streets and
sections which, in their general appear
ance, show that they have recently grown
up from common roads and country
villages to hold now their part IN the
denscly populated city. A visit to
Hyde Park any pleasant afternoon
affords a rare sight as to the I'M
mense number of private carriages
and eQucstrians which London can
concentrate with no apparent reductionol
vehicles elsewhere None of the public
carriages are admitted, still the collection
is so great as to crowd the broad and beau
tiful driyeways for miles as closely as IS
practicable with driving at fair speed; and
policemen are frequently needed to keep
the ways from becoming blocked. Lon
don proper, or the city, as it is called,
which was originally inside the walls, and
over which only the Lord Mayors jurisdic-
ton extends, is now but kernel in the
thckly surrounding mass, and contains
only about 100000 inhabitants, while all
outside of this consists of towns and vii
liages which have gradually been absorbed
into the metropolis; and this growth is go
ing on at the present time AZ Il marvellous
rate. The stranger in London is at first
confused by finding what is really one con-
tinuous thoroughtare frequently divided
into various streets, places, squares or
roads, and called by as many different
names. There also various streets OF the
same name, such as King street, of which
there are no less than fifteen, besides half
a dozen others resembling it as closely as
Kings square, or Kings road. To identi-
fly different points, London is divided into
nine postal districts, marked N. (north)
N. f. (northeast, W. G. western centraD
and so on; and in naming any street or
place it is usually necessary to give some
wellknown square or street near by and
generally the postal district also; for
example, Southampton row, Russell square,
W. G.; or King street, Cheapside.-Letter
