EDY CABLE TO THE HERALD.
LONDON, June 27 1871
The crowning social event Of General GRANTS
visit to England was his reception by Queen
Victoria, yesterday, at Windsor. The etiquette
of the court forbids any information Of what
passed at the royal dinner table to be made
public, and so the world must wait for the de-
tails OF what must have been an interesting
interview until the event itself will have
faded from the public mind and lost its significance.
This courty etiquette is relic OF the barbarous
ages when kings ana queens were religiously be-
leved to be made OF different class OF clay from
the other inhabitants OF the globe and like other
monuments of superstitious belief it has survived
the faith which called it into existence.

coSsoII DATING THE CABLE COMPANIES.

States Cable Company was held yesterday, MI.
Pender presiding. In submitting . special report
to the meeting the Chairman said 1t had peen found
impossible, with the restrictions which existed In
the memorandum OF association, to conclude
definitely any terms with she Anglo-Amcrican Com.
pany, and it was therefore necessary to propose to
the shareholders reconstruction OF the company.
This II earned out, would enable the new company
to adopt the terms arranged with the Ango-Amen-
can Company.

1t was proposed to carry out reconstruction by
voluntarily winding up the company with q view TO
reorganization and union with the Anglo-Amer-
can Company. The Board OF Directors were OF
opinion that the plan proposed would be more
profitable than policy Of isolation, and would be
advantageous to both companies Mr.. Pender con-
cluded by moving the adoption Of the report, whieh
was carried after long discussion
