MR. MOTLEY IN ENGLAND.
JYom tht A. 1'. IForM.
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

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.
