| Our Foreign Correspondence-Eiect ricify
and steam-rhe Gables and &he Mails.
BY free and costly use of the Atlantic
cables we are enabled to present to the read
| ers of the HERALD daily what may be termed
an electrical synopsis of foreign news reporting
the points of the chief events which may have
transpired in Europe, Asia and Africa to q
late hour of the previous evening. Our tele-
grams from the Old World have just announced
all the facts connected with the rise and present
termination of the radical "Reds'" anti Bona
partist agitation in Paris the surging towards
an almost instant upheaving of the democratic
and intra-constitutional revolutionary principle
in England and Ireland; the financial difficulties
and heavy tax imposts of the government Of
the North German Confederation, with the
approaches which are being made by the King
of Prussia towards more complete reconcilia-
ton with Austria; the progress Of the Empress
OF France in her iotHney to the East, and her
reception by the Sultan of Turkey; the pro-
vincial difficulties of Austria; the govern
mental, political and military disorganizatons
of SPAIN the neutral, silent and almost grim
personal solitude Of the Russian Executive I;
the preparations for the Ecumenical Council
in Rome; the Social Science Congress in Swift
zerland; the movements of hardy and adven-
turous explorers in Southern India and away
off in Western China; the work and naval
movements connected with the Suez Canal and
its coming Inauguration; the renewal of the
=
other matter of general, universalist, world
wide interest, such as the intelligence of the
death of Earl Derby of the death of M.
Sainte Beuve, Of the death of Professor Con-
ington, of the University of Oxford, England
and, yesterday, ofthe serious illness, approach
ing, it is said, almost to death, of the philan-
thropist, George Peabody, in London The
price rates prevailing in the foreign markets
for cotton, corn, provisions and American pro-
duce generally, with the quotations ruling on
the money changes and bourses of Great
Britain and the Continent of Europe at six
o'clock each evening, are placed before the
readers of the HERALD in every street in New
York, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Newark and the
other great suburban city centres within the
space of twelve hours subsequently, or about
six o'clock the next morning
Such are the results of our journalistic mis-
sion, as aided by electricity in making the
''wide world one, and introducing its inhabi-
tants to each other for the purposes of friendly
communion, the extension and interlacing of
commercial interests, and condition of CO.'S
mopolitan enlightenment. In the general
advance forward we must not, however, forget
or overlook our special pen-and-ink cores
pondents who are stationed at every point Of
the world indicated above, and who, after
despatching the news essential in all its cleo
trio vitality to the HERALD Building, sit down
Immediately to illustrate its contents and elab-
crate its substance, its local bearings and gen.
eral tendency in exhaustive letters, such as
those which appeared in our columns yester-
day from Rome, Vienna and Berlin, and of
which we print some almost daily, the rapid
trips which are now being made by the fast
steamships of the many different lines trading
to this city from Great Britain, France and
Germany, leaving the date of the written de-
tails only some eight days behind that of the
original submarine message. Such are the
main features, conduct course, uses and ad-
vantages of our system of foreign correspon-
dence-not the gossipping crudities and
Bohemian scrapings of the decks of steamers
still more extended amplfcation of which
in our columns each morning is impeded only
by the immense pressure of our advertising
patronage, which is not relaxed even when
the HERALD appears in quadruple sheet form
and extent.
