Knglish comments on the condition of things in

The London Jonrnntnon the Completion of the
Pm-Hic KallroHil.
Speaking of the completion of Huh great American
enterprise, the Iindon Sew of the lHh lust. Buys:
Of the political, commercial, uml sociul results of
this new communication between the two great
cccans which eucircle the world, it 1h, perhaps, as
yet, premature to nay much. Tin; Americans expect
frrcal things front tlicir great undertaking, and
Home enthusiastic New Yorkers have already
marked out tlicir rity an the centra of the world s
commerce and Its future metropolis. Their
reckoning is that a good part of the traffic, to the
Kast will now go westward, mid that the way
from Europe to Australia, China and .Tapun. wiil
lie across the continent of America. What.
ih far more certain is, however, that the Pacific, will
now he opened to commerce as it has never been
opened yet, and that the development of the won
derful resources of the whole western side of the
American continent must he wonderfully accele
rated. Nor will tho effect be less upon tho central
piainH of the United States. The great American
wilderness lien open now to be occupied and subdued.
In that lmnietiHu region lie vast mineral treasures,
which will alone he enough to at tract population,
arid it has been found that under the arid and
tiarren surface are abundant supplies or water.
An artesian well, sunk to a considerable depth
on tiie most arid part of the route, is said to
ttave struck an underground river, the water of
which rushed tip to the surface in a torrent as
Hoon a tho tube had reached it. There is, there
fore, very little doubt that tills vast area is not
only practically added to cultivation, but
opened to agriculture and commerce. The poli
tical consequences will simply be the greater con
solidation of the Federal Union and the increasing
influence of the West in Unlou politics. The Mor
mons, who have made the valley of the Salt iAke a
cultivated garden, and held it as an outpost of civili
sation, will now be brought into contact with the
outer world, and must either give up polygamy or
make another exodus to Mexico. They will pro
bably decide in favor of removal, but they will leave
the groundwork of a great State behind them. Thus
the whole of this formless wilderness will be sub
dued to man's occupancy and use. Instead of
dying like a dead mass in the bosom of the republic,
Jt will become instinct with life, the iron nerves of
civilization will grow all through it from the great
ventral backbone now formed, and the vast re
sources of the Republic will not only be made
more available by concentration and communication,
hut will undergo lndclinite increase.
The London Time of the day previous has the fol
lowing comments:
If we inquire into the probable results of this
achievement, we shall be led into many curious
speculations. The effects, indeed, will be felt through
out the whole Union. California, as our reader
know, is a State of exceptional character and im
portance. It is the gold-learing State the coun
try which supplies the Americans with the precions
metal. General drant, in his Inaugural speech,
referred to it as the national "strong box'' the safe
in which those treasures were hoarded which would
one day enable the Union to pay oil its public debt
and he spoke of the opening of this Pacific Hallway
as an event tending to accelerate the consummation
in view. Then, it cannot be doubted that the I'acltic,
states will receive an impulse from the new
line and be rapidly developed in politi
cal as well as commercial importance.
All tho territory, too. now traversed, will be
brought more within the reach and nu'lcr the do
minion of man; new settlements will be facilitated
and nw States more quickly formed. At the same
time the Indians will be more severely punished, and
theMormous will be brought into a coutactwith
their fellow-citizens which may not impossibly end
in a collison. Probably nothing but the remoteness
and isolation of their settlements have hitherto pre
served them and their institutions from interfe
rence, and now that isolation is lost. In whatever
light, however, we choose to regard the work, we
must recognize it not only as a monument of na
tional enterprise, but as a proor of public
wisdom. All that the Government has spent in
subventions was well bestowed. It was worth ninny
a vote of money ami many a grant of land to con
nect by an easy internal communication the two
great sections of the republic, and to bring territories
as large as those of all the settled states together
within reach of the Government and the people. If
the present year should also witness the completion
of the Suez. Canal, it will indeed lie a singular coiuei
danee, but even the cutting of the Isthmus is a less
wonderful exploit than this Pacific hailroad. M. de
Lesseps will deserve Infinite credit for his persever
ance aud success, but the American engineers who
bridged with iron rails a desert as broad as the
Atlantic at the rate of six miles a day may certainly
advance their own claims to the surprise and ad
miration of mankind.
The London fitaiulnrd speaks in these terms on the
success of the Pacllic Hailroad:
The telegraph announces that the last rail con
necting the Union Paei tic with tin-Central Pacific
Hallway, and thus completing thu line between
Sacramento, the capital of California, and New
York, is about to belaid, probably with some cere
monies in appropriate glorification of the event.
It is not many years since Colonel Fremont earned
perpetual renown In America as a traveller aud
explorer by accomplishing that tremendous Journey
from shore to shore of the niiglity continent ; Jand
now the longest line of unbroken railway in the
world will show the way through passes of the
Hocky ilouutalns aud across the "boundless
perarer'' to locomotives ami 'Pullman's palace
sleeping cars." Ladies and children by thousands in
every year will pertorm a journey which but twelve
months back was a trvlng adventure for stroia men,
aud the grim solitude of the far Western "plain''
will grow as familiar to the nomadic raeo which
inhabits the United States as the green hills on the
banks of the Hudson, or the billows or foam which
rush down tho rapids past the windows of huge
hotels at Niagara. ' Let us give a
cheer, therefore, for the PaciHe Hailroad. Perhaps
it is not quite the greatest achievement the world
lias ever seen, which Its promoters consider it. cer
tain it is that along Its course, us yet, the rough
forward triumphantly in advance of the railway as t
grew, and all we can hope is, that now the two ends
have been united, the larger name of a working
railway will establish something like nubile order it;
t he permanent settlements which u ill be established
along its course.

From the foiulon HrraUl, May 10.
There was no tendency to spread unfavorable
rumors to-day. A more settled feeling fortunately
prevailed out of doors; but the fluctuations in all
classes of securities were narrowly watched, strong
opinions were expressed with regard to the Ameri
can qnestion, and it appeared to be thu general in
clination to abstain from supporting United States
securities, as It is thought it will be one sure mode of
bringing the authorities on the other side of the
Atlantic to their senwsi. If bankers and others who
have mode advances upon them will discontinue this
kind of accommodation, with the view of limiting
the business in live-twenty bonds, the effect will be
most satisfactory, and save hereafter large sacrifices
that otherwise must lie Incurred.

The Amujo del I'uebio Of May 1 has published a
letter addressed by General Garibaldi to Senor Fer
nando Gorrldo, of which the following is a fuii trans
lation: Cai'hkka, April W, 1M19 My IVar Garrido: The
resolution of the Coburg is a praiseworthy one; I
hope It will be a lesson to people who are ha f in love
with the revolution. I, and all others who. like me,
love sincerely the Spanish nation, would wish t see
It at once invested of this iiiibecomiiig disguise lior
rowed from the frogs of the fable.
To ask for a king when the nations of the earth are
tired of having one is a thing but little suited to the
haughty character of your people, in which the lost,
and enslaved populations of Kurope have so much
confidence. rcccc bewails the blindness of her
monarchists, who asked for a scion of any royal
family in Kurope, and received one as alms; and
Greece, which has not a numerous population, has
found Itself compelled to comply with the desires of
its great protectors.
lint Spain does not want protectors; Spain lifts up
her head and looks in the face of every power, how
ever great. Is Spain so poor in men that you must
make use of the lantern of Illogcnes to si-ck for a
man over the whole surface of the earth? Have you
not Kspartero, Grense, 'astelar, Pierrad, ami all
your republican fellow-citizens, who are the admira
tion of honorable men? Name one of these dicta
tor or king (If this title Inspires yon with so much
affection), but ua'ne him immediately, and not at the
end of two years. If the assemblies of the large
provinces had adopted such a resolution from the
beginning, we should not now have to deplore the
slaughters of Cadiz, Malaga, and Xeres.
The Cortes ought to do that which the Juntas left
undone. A revolution thus directed, although it is
now late, would lie worthyof that illustrious Areopa
gus which sways the destinies of the country. I am
a republican myself, but I am not at the present
moment for the government of the five hundred; it
is a rational arrange ncnt, but it does not snit the
urgency of the circumstances under which we live.
The walls of Constantinople were assailed by Ma
homet 11 while the WK) doctors, seated in the temple
of St. Sophia, were debating whether it was proper
to communicate with leavened or unleavened bread.
And now you have outsl le your 'walls two Maho
niets worse than that Sultan clericalism and the
lid of December.
We have our hands on our hats to salute the great
triumph of a republic in the traditional land of into
lerance, and, face to face with tyranny, give you this
satisfaction to those who aspire to the vindication of
the rights of man. In all the affairs of the past your
conduct has been that of an honorable man, such as
you are. 1 am, for life, yours entirely,

Serious ('lllslon at Sea.
The steamship General Ahbatucfi, from Marseilles
to Civil a Vecchia, came into collision with a Norwe
gian brig at 2 o'clock on the morning of the Tth, and
shortly afterwards foundered. The captain and flf ty
fonr passengers were saved, and have arrived at
Leghorn, almost without covering. The remainder
of the passengers and crew, to the number of forty
nine, perished, among whom are the; 1 men' hint-General
Caucholg and wife, and the Consul-General of the
Pope at Marseilles.
DlMcmlownient In Turkey.
A curious sign, says thu AnuUic. of the times is
afforded by the attitude of the Sultan towards the
Mohamedan Established church in Turkey. He pro
poses to disendow it, or, in other words, to apply to
State purposes tho vast lands, estimated atone mil
lion sterling a year. Nothing but the stern necessity
of satisfying the national creditor could have
steeled the Sultan to such bold step. The measure
will be of immense benefit to the State indirectly, by
placing in the hands of industrious ami enterprising
cultivators an immense area of most valuable land
which has for generations remained almost alto
gether unproductive. We believe there Is every
prospect of the reform being carried out. The Sul
tan has gained something in his Western tour.

Court or Quarter ScskIoiin.
This morning .lodge Ludlow began a session for t at
trial of bail cases, a list of twelve cases being before
the Court to be positively disposed of unless post
poned upon a strictly legal ground.
.lames Stephenson and Andrew Field, colored,
were convicted of the larceny of clothing. They
were arrested early one morning recently with a lot.
of shirts In their possession, one of which was
identified bv a gentleman as his.
William Kchard was convicted or entering a resi
dence with intent to steal, having been found be
hind the door or one or the rooms in tiie house at
ntghu
Thomas Ryan, a boy, was charged with robbery.
Thomas Welsh testiiled that about, s o'clock last
Monday night, as he was passing the corner of
Secoud and Lombard streets, he was attacked by a
crowd of young men, of whom Ryan was one, und
his wiitcli was snatched from his pocket, and the
parties ran away. He had seen the defendant tiofore,
and readily recognized him. The defendant pro
duced two of his companions, who testified that from
1 o'clock until 9,V of this night he was sitting at
South street wharf. The Jury fonnd him guilty.
Silas Fuller was put. on trial charged with a viola
tion of the act or February 14, lsfls, relating to the
sale or proper petroleum or kerosene in the city of
Philadelphia.
Robert M. Kvans, Inspector tinder this act, testi
fied that he visited the defendant's place of business,
No. lovu .Market street, aad feund tliero a can con
taining what was called combination burning fluid.
He took It to his olllce, applied the tests to it, and
found that it was benzine, a product of petroleum;
in fact, it was the Imtlammablc portion of petroleum.
Mr. Fuller told him that it was benzine, having drugs
In it, was used as a burning fluid, and lie had orders
for it from various groceries in the city.
The experiment to find Its quality resulted In
proving that it went off cold, merely by placing a
match several inches above it. The experiment
caused his office to be nearly burned, and his hands
also. An illustration of this was given to tho jury,
in which the gentleman burned himself for their
satisfaction. It would even go oil' without lire in a
close room. The act requires the oil lo be of 110
degrees Fahrenheit, and this of course was far below
that.
The point of the defense was this was not an oil,
being merely an impurity which had lieen extracted,
from oil, and therefore' did not come within the
meaning of the statute. On trial.

There is some anxiety at tho 8t:itc Depart

Minister C. A. Washburn, who knows Lopez
thoroughly, is inclined to share in this opinion.
Lopez at one time threatened that ho would

who came there.

Correspondence from Mayafruei!, May 2, apprises
us or a coming revolution on this island. It says:
Hy this time you are doubtless fully informed of
the terrible condition of atrairs in this land. The
uprlsinst of the people against the tyrannical despot
ism of Spanish rule, which for years has been ma
turing, has at last culminated and partly hrokca out.
Net in the Kenenil way of meeting the too face to
face upon the held of battle, but in a more sure and
effective manner, one that has never yet failed the
irresistible attack of the Incendiary shielded by the
durkuess of night, und the dagger of an invisible)
nund performing its bloody work in some lonely road
ur deserted Btreet.
MYKTKHIOrS DISAPPEAR A NCR OF SPANISH SOLDIER.
A few soldiers who have wandered too lar from
their garrisons have mysteriously disappeared for
days; when next seen their bodies have been found
lying in some ditch or by the ruins of an old church,
weltering in their blood. The poor Ignorant HpanisU
conscript has atoned with his life for the crimes of
ills rulers.
PONCK IN A STATE OK DESPAIR.
In Ponce especially the situation Is really appaliiur.
The conflagrations of last month, the terrible havoc,
which the yellow fever and vomito wiro Is producing
among the garrison. and the precipitate dcpaituro of
the principal families from the towns, tave been
communicated to joii, and need no further comment
or repetition,
UL'TTKKIKO OK THE COMINO BTOHM.
It will not be long lieforo the revolution, a'ready
inaugurated in the maimer above inuutioned, will
have assumed more formidable dimensions. We
have mining us many Cuban emissaries, wno are
busily arranging the necessary preliminaries for the
grand coup d'etat which Is inouicntari.y expected.
Our young men, the jeuiu-nne dore,; are no longer
seen, as before, frequenting nightly the cafes und
billiard rooms; if imiuircd for, you ure answered that
they have gone to tlicir -own or the plantations of
their friends. Their movement ure less likely to be
observed In the secret recesses ol the mountains
than in a thickly peopled city. The authorities have
their hands full in watching the lurgc towns, a id
cannot spare troops for the interior. The wealthy
families ure all leaving the Island.
TI1K PATRIOTS WKl.I. OKOANIZKn ARMS KXCKCTKn.
In all the principal towns, namely, the capital,
Ponce, Maviiguer., Arrovo. Aguudellu, and Nt. ier
malll, the "organization" Is complete, and all thai is
wuiillug for the outbreak to commence is tho arrival
of a vessel from the l ulled Slates, laden witli arms
aiiduiiiiiniiiiti.nl. She is expected to laud ou the
coast of (luanl. u. The pla"' of l"" revolutionists
are so well designed, and their precautions so com
plete, that when the words, "Forward, march !' are
uttered, at that hour and in Unite the uprising will bo
universal throughout the Island, aud there can lie no
doubt that tho battle will be "sharp, short, and de
cisl vc. "
HKAVKHY OK TI1K P0KT0 ItlCANS.
The Porto If ii.-ans are no less brave nor hiss pat ri
ot In than their Cuban brethren. They are desirous
of liberty und of throwing off tho Spanish yoke.
They have waited for an opportune oeeashin to pre
sent Itself to strike the blow for freedom. The time
lias now arrived. The mother country is too ui
sorbed with her own domestic troubles to pay uuu-n
attention to the colonies, and besides, all the lores
she can spurn arts now concentrated in Cuba. Cer
tainly a more favorable opportunity will never ure.
scut Itself. I would here mention the names of the
prominent leaders of this movement, but I mil alraa!
that it might work injury to them. All that, can bo
said is that the most iniliieiitia aud wctlihy cit..eii
