LONDON. August IL, 1872.
The London Times, in its issue &his morn
ing, comments editoriaiy on that portion
of the royal speech-which was delivered for
Queen Victoria by commission on the occa-
sion Of the propagation of Parliament last Sat
urday-in which reference is made to the East
Coast of Africa slave trade.
The London Times republishes the words Of
Her Majesty the Queen, in which she an
nounced my government has taken steps
intended to prepare the way for dealing more
effectually with the slave trade on the East
Coast of Africa" The press writer then goes
ON to say This paragraph is the most sig
nifcant part Of the throne speech, and we sup
pose It is not an error to connect the an
nouncement which has just been made by Her
Majesty with the recent discovery of DR.. Liv-
ingstone and the dispatches to the Foreign
Office brought by MIR. Stanley, Of the New

Mr. Conen, the English barrister, who drew up
the report for the Crown on the subject Of the
American claims for losses sustained by the mer-
camille marine OF the United States, has been sum-
moned here from London. This fact gives rise to
the conjecture that decision has been rendered
by the Board upon the general question Of Engand's
responsibility for the direct losses claimed by
America, and that Mr.. Cohen Is called in to assist
the British counsel In arguing upon the amount OF
damages to he assessed by the Board.
{ One OF the many reports which are still current
here concerning the proceedings Of the Board and
the present position OF the arbitration Ia that after
the cases OF the two governments were presented
counsel on either side went into lengthy discus
sion-as has been stated already specially In the
Misunderstanding Engand's responsibility. the
argument turning mainly upon the questions
whether the British authorities had exercised due
diligence to prevent the Confederate cruisers from
escaping out Of ports and whether any such re-
sponshility as America claims followed upon the
permission to said cruisers to take coal at British
stations.
Sir ROUNDED Palmer opened the discussion on
these points, and spoke at great length In support
OF the position taken in the British case. Messrs.
Waite, Evarts and Cushing replied, the latter clos
ing the argument on behalf OF the United States
In his summing up Mr.. Cushing strongly urged
the point that the same diligence upon the part OF
the British authorities which afterwards served to
detain the Confederate rams would have been
equally enectual in preventing the escape OF the
cruisers had it been exercised with reference TO
them.

tegrity OF General Oakes, the P0st COMMANDER, VINO
had joined IN approving the claim.
General Meigs, who knew approximately the
quantity OF timber used In the post and the value
OF standing timber In that part Of Texas, was OBJ
stnate in resisting the efforts made to the
payment Of the award, and at his suggestion the
war Department sent Inspector General Absalom
Baird to make y personal investigation into the
whole AFFAIR. That officer has reported that the
number Of trees actually cut from the claimants
land was not over three hundred, instead of over
three thousand, and that their value was not more
than one thousand dollars, instead OF twenty thou
sand dollars This report, which il conclusive upon
the subject. placed the officers composing the Board
Quartermaster-in very questionable position,
from which they have attempted to escape by plead
ing cupable but not criminal reliance upon Captain
Potter, the former quartermaster Of the post,
who now happens to be dead and un-
able to explain or controvert anything. But
as Captain Potter was, during the many
years he was In the service, OF the most trust
worthy officers OF his Department, the War De-
partment is not satisfied, and has put the matter In
train for thorough judicial investigation; and it
is not improbable that the general inquiry INTO the
military administration OF public affairs In Texas,
which has been for some time In contemplation by
the Department here, may be FASTENED by the reve
lation just made
1t was but lately that General Anger was trans
ferred nom the command OF the Department Of the

A PrOdigious Wedding Cake.

The art of manufacturing wedding
cakes has been reduced to a science.
Perhaps we should rather say, the man
ufacture of wedding cakes has become
a fine art. A niece of Mayor elect
Hayemeyer, of New York city, took
INTO herself young man the other
dav. The affair was one of some mag
nitude. The wedding cake used upon
this occasion eclipsed anything of the
kind ever seen in this progressive coun-
trv Tt is thus described Having
for ifs foundation the cake proper,
which was of huge dimensions and
weighed over sixty pounds, it rose a
fairy vision of frosted work to the
height of four feet. Immediately above
the cake was a miniature marriage tenn
pie, in which a miniature bride and
groom were undergoing the ceremony,
the roof of which was supported by
merpaids, from whose tiny mouths
Jets of fine spun glass poured. Above
was an alcove of cupids, with more
fountains, the whole being crowned
with filagree work and frosted flowers,
with which the entire structure was
decorated"
