It is recorded of a certain captain eminent In the JcwIhIi history that ha took asido his formld ble rival under tome friendly pretext into the shadow of a wall, and that, huvlnR got him there and asking him, ''Art thou in liculth, my brother?" ho at the name time "Hinotehim under the fifth rib." Wo do not know and we Bhall nt, therefore, even so much as surest that the example of Joab was In tho minds of the Liverpool Chamber of Cotumcrco when they voted on Wednesday an address of weleotuo to Mr. Motley, tho new American Minlntcr. Hut we do very stronirly suspect that, If Mr. Motluv accepts their address, and responds to It. lie will fare almost as badly as did Abner in his Inter view with his treacherous rival. Liverpool has been sometimes said to be a half American city. It is so in the sense that its interests are so extensively interwoven with those of this country ns to make its Inhabitants, mid particularly its leading merchants and ship pers, anxious above most other Englishmen for the preservation of quiet and friendly relations between the United Kingdom and tho United States. During the lato civil war, Liverpool naturally found herself somewhat in the condi tion of the fabled ass between the two bundles of hay. Her tmdc with tho North drew her in one direction: her connections with tho South." ns the first cotton mart of the Old World, drew her In the other. This exceptional situation relatively to American affairs mado then and now makes It quite unsafe to accept her public action upon American questions as a trustworthy indication of tho general drift and curreut of British focliug. It is altogether probable, we fear, that the address which her Chamber of Commerce is now reported to have prepared against the coming of Mr. Motley will be couched in a tone very different from the tone which Mr. Motley will bo called upon to meet, to appre ciate, and to pitch his own utterances upon when he reaches tho British capital and comes into relations with tho general public feeling and the authoritative policy of the kingdom. This in ordinary times, or with another representative of the United States than Mr. Motley, might be a matter of little moment. It is true, happily, of most addresses and of the replies to most ad dresses of this kind, as Mr. Layard8 Eastern Cadi said it was of correspondence in general, that ''the speaker is one, and the hearer another, and there is no harm done." But Mr. Motley will arrive in England at a moment when the really serious and influential public opinion of England the opinion which finds only a partial expression in the public press, but which always exerts a decisive authority over the attitude and the policy of a British Administration is profoundly and unusually exasperated on the subject of British relations with America. The better classes of English men who busy themselves with political affairs, whether as actors or as critics merely, are no doubt ere this well satisfied that Sir. Sum ner's foolish and rhodomontading speech no more really represents the deliberate policy of the American Senate than Mr. Chandler s incoherent ravings. But Mr. Motley is known by them, also, to be the personal and poli tical friend of Mr. Sumner. His appoint ment has been as carefully canvassed in ircat Britain as in this country, Tho posi tion in which he stands, relatively, to Presi dent Grant, to Mr. Secretary Fish, to Mr. Sumner, and to the Radical party, is quite as well understood by the few people in England by whom It is most important that such matters should be understood, as it is by the best in formed persons at home. It is certain, therefore, that any expressions of opinion which Mr. Mot ley may be seduced into allowing himself to make on his arrival in England will be sharply and closely scrutinized, aiid that any color of reason which ho may give, or seem to give, to the notion that Mr. Sumner's speech substan tially uttered tho secret views and wishes of President Grant will act most forcibly and most unfavorably upon the Britisli mind. If Mr. Motley were an accomplished publicist, or a politician familiar with tho springs of pub lic feeling, or merely a trained aud 6kilful diplo matist, there would be little reason to anticipate his stumbling into any trap set for him by friendly or by hostile hands. But he is none of these things. Going out as ho goes, without specific instructions from his Government, he is exposed to tho temptation which a person of his temperament and habits, both of life and mind, will find it very hard to resist of giving himself at least tho air of intending to do something. His personal opinions in regard to England's liability to this country for her conduct during the war are believed, and upon no Inadequate authority, to be little le6s moulded upon any recognized principles of international law and political morality than those of Mr. Sum ner himself. Those who remember a very hasty, inaccurate, ill-advised, and passion ate letter which he 6ent to the London Times early in 1801, and at a time when he was proceeding to Vienna on his first diplo matic mission, will not be quite ut case in their minds as to the work which he may see fit to set mmscu to do in a mission whicn lie enters upon with no definite plan or authentic purpose. And it is much to be feared that a Liverpool address, intimating the wish of Liverpool to 6ee the ex isting dimculties adjusted by concessions and a compensations on the part of England, may strike just the one particular chord m Mr. Mot ley's nature which it is most desirable for the .l !,..... i 1.1 1 l success oi nis iiiissiuu siiuuiu ue ten uusiirreu. To have the American people assured by the Atlantic cable that their new envoy has begun at once to undo the mischief done by his too placable and amiable predecessor, that ho has entered England as a prophet calling her to repentance and to restitution, would assuredly afford the most agreeable sensations to a person uf Mr. Motley's peculiar constitution. Such a debut would be sadly likely to check the movement which is already on foot among a certain section of English politicians towards a calm and practical reconsideration of the real limits and requirements of England's duty to America on this question. This would be a niisfortune almost grave enough to be called a calamity. We can only trust that by some benign influence of the Angel of Silence, whether transmitted through the Atlantic cable from WoKiiliwtnn or Impressed upon him in the u'litr-hpu r.f niirht and of the sea on his out u-,irrt wnv. nnr new Envoy may be preserved frr.m im nnril which has been prepared for him, and for the grave Interests confided to him, by the 'r od people oi Liverpool. THE ENGLISH DERBY DAY. Vi-rnn. tht A". 11 Time. It is not easy for anv foreigner, who has not !itH i rmrinn nt. this time of year to fully com- urMionri tlm ntrn.no-n and universal excitement throughout England caused by the great popular r.ceohheyear-theEpsoIn';DeiM1y-whicIiwas .... Wo.lnoarlnv hint. 1 1. U trilO tllllt thO H.llg- lish are emphatically a sport-loving peop e, and that tho Derbv is the most important of till Eng lish races, while it is run within an easy distance by road or rail from London. But this scarce!) accounts for the extraordinary excitement among all classes which is annually produced bv each return of the " Derby Day," when Lords and Commons adjourn, no matter how pressing the work before them, and when commercial business is virtually suspended throughout the largest aud tho most important commercial city in the world, just because some score or so ot horses run for a heavy stake on Epsom Downs. Newmarket is a name dear to the heart of every horsey man throughout England the Doncaster St. Leger is the event of Kar to all good Yorkshireinen, Ascot is a tsant outing for the "V1",''. nduleree Goodwood is a fashionable Picuie, and there are V cntyo suburban races o vur ou. degrees iSiveness to the "roughs" of London But the Derby Is something unique in Ei g ih lire. Al the conventional restraints which o hr c liiindrcd and sixty-four in the year tend l SSw thWodulluud monotonous vaulU ou the Derby Pay. Aristocratic England becomes for once thoroughly democratic, and out of the quarter of a million spectators who make their way from London toward Epsom, not one is ex empt from thechanees of war in an encounter of words with the most loud-voiced and coarse tongued Briton "on tho road" who may feel that truo equality exists for ono day in tho veur at least, and determine to avail himself 'of the privilege after his own fashion. We do not suppose that anything of the kind will ever be naturalized in this country. New York to begin with, is the only city in America capable of lurnishlng the vast crowds essential to a prcne like the great London Saturnalia. And although the turf bids fair to become more and more popular in New York every year, there are no signs as vet. th.it nnv nf - rn In the neighborhood will degenerate into a wild i'iiui.ii oigie; ami sucii. alter all, is tho Derbv. We trust that while our various charming turf gatherings near New York will continually in crease in popularity, and yearly afford opportu nities for amusement and rei-rootlim tn u lnnm number of all classes, thev will never lnnse hito occasions of stupid excesses and general rowdi- iics. Mien us we generally read oi in connection with the great London sporting holiday. JAMAICA REVIVING. From the S. Y. Tribune. According to all accounts, affairs at Jamaica uiu ucgmning 10 exniiiii pleasing signs ot re turning prosperity. For the first time in a great manyveiirs, revenue has recently got ahead of e.xpeuuiiuru; anu me uovcrnor lias just au- nuuiiceu mai me colony, wnicu lias been lor a long time past unable to meet its liabilities, is now completely solvent. The revenue of the last financial year was sufficient not only to meet all the expenditures for that period, but to cover a deficit of nearly half a million of dollars on the previous two years: and ai the revenue for the current year promises, so far. to ue ut icasi equal to mat ol tne last, mere is every probability of there being a considerable surplus at me euu ot tlio last quarter. .Mean time, agriculture and trade are reported to lie reviving all over the island, and a hopeful spirit, it would seem, now pervades all classes of the population. Such a chaugc from the distressed and almost desperate condition in which Sir John Grant found the island, when he assumed the government two years and a half ago, ppeaks volumes for his administration. As to the Improvement in financial affairs, this is not owing to any actual increase of the revenue. which is not larger now than the average annual receipts of the decade preceding the deplorable events of 181m; but it has been brought about principally by the rigid economy with which the public money is expended under the present re gimeall offices not absolutely necessary for the requirements or tuc public service, and all sine cures of which Jamaica had her full share having been abolished. Taxation, too, is more equitably assessed than ever before, the result being that the great bulk of the people pay their taxes witn a readiness and eheeriiilness utterly unknown under the old state of things. We uow have proof that It was planter rule, and not the alleged indolence of the blacks, that made Jamaica a proverb of poverty aud wretchedness lor the last quarter ot a century. WHERE THE FERIT LANDED HER CARGO. From the A". )'. .Sun. Some doubts have been expressed as to the possibility of effecting the lauding of arms and i ammunition destined for the use of tho Cuban patriots, in view of the coasts of the island being guarded by some thirty-eight to forty Spanish war steamers. The Perit accomplished the disembarkation of her cargo a most useful one for the Cubans in the bay of Nipe. The entrance to this bay, capa- uie oi iioiuiiig me navies oi ine worm, is nearly due south of Paint Lucretia. on the north coast. and distant some one hundred miles from Cape .waisi, tne eastern point ot the island. The en trances to the bays of Nipe and Levis.a, two of the most land-locked ami safe harbors on the whole Island, are distant only some four to five leagues. The shores of these bays are covered with dense virgin forests of mahogany, cedar, anil otner sun more vaiuaoic umber. But tho entire coasts of Cuba, north and south. present such an immense number of perfectly well-concealed harbors, that it would require a navy far more numerous and more efficient than that ot Spain to make blockade running hazar dous. Atr.iin. tho very many starfm!r points which the ueographical position of Cuba offers is an essential consideration, uood, sale Harbors are within a twenty-four hours' sail by a fast steamer from any port in Florida, from Yucatan, from Jamaica, lrom Santo Domingo, from Porto Kico, and from an' of the keys iu the old Bahama channel. When once enterprising men are convinced that a cargo of arms and ammunition success fully landed will he paid tor in cash, even the thirty gunboats which Spain is reported to be building in tne various snip varus ot this country will be ineitectiiai to stop tiie supply ol war ma terial to the Cubans. OUR NEW MINISTER TO ENGLAND PRE PARATIONS FOR HIS ARRIVAL. From the Ar. Y. lleraXd. A cable despatch lrom .Liverpool m tortus us that the Chamber of Commerce of that city have held a meeting and voted an address of wel come to Mr. Motley, the new American Minis ter. The tone of the meeting docs not appear to have been unfriendly to the United States. A Mr. Patterson delivered a speech of a very dif ferent character from that which was wont to be more familiar to us in connection with tho name of Liverpool. It is quite manifest that the merchants ot Liverpool nave a higher respect for the United Suites than they had some five or six years ago. Jt is something to hear the .Liver pool Chamber of Commerce talkiug of u mode rate compensation for the depredations of tho Alabama. It is fair, we think, to Infer that It is the deter mination of Englishmen to make a convert of Minister Motley as they formerly made a con vert of Minister Johnson. Motley, however, is not a Johnson, lie is not only less a diner-out, but less a talker than his predecessor. .Mr. Mot ley, however, is in danger. His literary reputa tion and tastes will bring him into relationship with a powerful and seductive class. He is the only great American writer who has written about England and England's doings during a great crisis as if lie were himself an Englishman. Mr. Motlev Is already Immensely popular on the other side. If it had been President Iiruut s in tention to pay Great Britain a compliment, lie could not have made a more admirable selection. It remains to be seen what effect tho attention of lords and dukes, the smiles of titled ladles, the praises of learned men and the honors of learned societies will have on this new represen tative of republican America at the aristocratic Court of St. James.
