The Lohdon Times laughs at them, like a vulgar thunderer as it is. till its roars of ridicule are hoard on this side of the great waters. The advance of popular sentiment has been too much for the soft send bilities of the aristocracy of the feudal branch of the English legislature. They have protest ed bitterly and for years; but, as one lsy onc of the decaying props of the old- . edilice -are kicked •away, the Lords are compelled tt, yield, until at last they will bo left aspharm less as the pageantry on the mimic 'stage, in which kings are represented by badly:paid _ actors, and nobility hiredlt fift cents a night, The last Surrender of .the English Lords was on, the bill securing the, right of persons of the Jewish persuasion to sit in the Commons. It was made, however, with so bad a grace, that the LondOn Tinies'c'ould not contain its'mirth. We copy: • No doubt we ought to be glad to haver tinisbed thin tiresome contest at any pries. But why could it not have been gracefully done ? Concession always contains opportunities for graceful eats. A man may surrender his sword with so much gentle breeding that the conqueror may be more embar- rassed than the captive. If the Lords were re. 'solved to give way, it was surely better to follow the sure consols of the veteran Lyndhurst than the suggestions of the dragoodotiloer who ordered the Balaclava charge. Bad the Lords held out for five years longer they would not have done their order so much harm es they. have:by-the mOuner st this 'surrender. We English have a great admiration for dignity, but we have a very critical eye for the artiste, We have, moreover, a strong sense of. the ridiculous; and surely nn thing clan be more ridiculous than presenting year sword-hilt and at the same moment shouting out "Bo ,surrender!" :between the.

Unfortunately; they hAve sated undeithe counsels of some who seem to. think that it is not inoonsistenbtak the , true dignity of English gentlemen to say ono thing. and to do another. We have a House Of L'ords in thiS country of ours—a Ronne, Of -Lords few; in numbers, but most powerful. - it-is composed of only eight methhers--Leight mortal men"; men like other men— r men who haire lived like other men, and will die, be burled, and be forgotten, like other . men.

This Rouse of ,Lords, like their elder but not more aristocratie English prototypes, are now also called upon to surrender to a great principle; and wo hope they will do . so with grace and propriety. -They - aro not asked to give up the right-to individuals to sit in Congress, but to say whether they will longer resist- thii eternal principle of self-goiernment—whether they will: Continue to deny the right of the people to ',manage their own affairs in their own This is easily granted.

But come it will, and after it will follow an immense number of other messages from all sorts and conditions of men and women. The sagacious people who can not see beyond the length of their noses, dis believed Mr. Crays Fama's report from Tri nityßay, but will probably become satisfied, in the fullness of time, that his announcement was ooriept. We now assert, on the authority . of Mr. FIELD, that, on, Friday morning the cable was landed at Trinity Bay, in perfect or der—that the ./Tgalattnnon has landed her end of the cable at Valenti& Harbor, and the tele graphic corszahnication has been made from the terrains in Valentia to that at Trinity The fact of the complete success of the great project is ifoxy'aff far established as it possibly can be. The triumph of Science is perfected. Of the part which American talent and enter prise have borne in such a great consumma tion we feel very proud. Within the half century which has peeled since FULTON'S first steamboat smoked up the Hudson, how much has been accomplished, and by tho ingenuity and skill of Americans. Only twenty-eight years have rolled into the eternity of the past since GEORGE STEPHENSON first ran a rapid engine upon the Liverpool and Manchester railroad, which be constructed across Chat Moss, that huge morass. Then followed the application of electricity to telegraphic pur poses, on the'auggestion of Professor Neoax. - Lastly, the enterprising spirit of Crate W. FIELD, and the scientific skill of .Professer Huorms, have carried the telegraph across the• ocean, and connected the Old World with the New. sfif When-the Telegraph sailed on its last, and fortunate, mission, the £l,OOO shares in the undertaking were offered for sale, in the Lon don share-market, at .£360, without buyers. Nobody desired to risk capital on what was considered a forlorn hope, We should be glad to learn what price these shares would now realize In the same market. It would by no means astonish us to hear that, on the ar rival of the .4gamemnon at Valentia, each share sprang up to £2OO premium. The log-book of Mr. Crays W.

The offence of DOtOLAS con sists in his reined to give up a principle to an expedient. For this the South and its allies denounce him as having gone over to the Re publicans, and as out of the pale of the Demo cratic party. Curious enough, this same ultra newspaper, while denouncing DOUDIJAI9 as a Republican, cordially accepts and endorsesthe claims of ono .Toutr Lima= to the Democra tic nomination of Governor of Virginia, notwithstanding this same Joux LET OURR encouraged and applauded a certain Dr. IttiPPNER, first to deliver and then to print a lecture'as full of rank anti-slavery sentiments as could be written—the lecture to be the plat form of a plan for the emancipation of tho slaves of Western Virginia. This was eleven years ago, it is true, but Joas lirrorcan was rather a middle-aged man then, as he is rather an old man now; and when Rum patted Rum= on the back, DouGLas was fighting for the South like a hero in the .National Congress. Doua r.e.s stands • exactly where ho always stood, and tie is proscribed and classed as an Abolitionist; while honest Jons LETMER,who only recanted Ids Abolitionism when ho became a candidate for Governor in this year of 1858, is Die es pecial candidate of The South for Governor of Virginia! Would not this dilemma make a ;ood scene in the farce called "An Awkward Situation?" A Disappointed Editor. There is excellent sense in the following, from a late number of the Pittsburgh Morning Post, the editor of which was a candidate for the post office of that city. It is fall of the right spirit. BARB, you bad better be inde pendent in the Post than dependent in the pobt office. It will teach your children the healthy . lesson that It is a great deal better to sot np and distribute their own letters than to be made slaves by distributing the letters of others. We copy: We shall endeavor to be comfortable under the circumstances, and take this public manner of re. terming oar sincere thanks to those of our friends who bate from the start labored with disinterest ed zeal for onr advancement. Wo have shared the fate of two of our predecessors in the Morn tar Post, who were applicants for the same posi tion; and submit gracefully. If we should be induced to publish• the unwritten history of this case, we can and will show, bow the counsel of one or two men proved more powerful than the expressed wiehee of thousands of Domoorate, rank and file, demanding an opposite course. We can further promise that we will not at tempt that which in impossible, break up the De. morello party, or that which is within our reaoh, leave it. Our Democracy has deeper root and healthier ground. We have some sins to answer for in the newspaper line, which it will be our concern to atone for hereafter, the greatest of which Is being seduced into the belief that we should help to make great men out of very small potatoes. We can hereafter guard against the temptation and the act. We 'limn speak of men and measures in the Democratic faith with becom ing boldness, neither terrified by power, nor tongue-tied by patronage. We deeply sympathize with the large number of very good men to whom we promised free boxes, letter-stamps, and money letters—their loss is irre parable, but It is their misfortune, not our fault. ft will not be considered inopportune to suggest that, inasmuch as we can't be found in the post office, we will be visible to the nakod eye at the office of the Post—a better place and more of it: General Ordets from Washington. Among the many correspondents from the Federal City, for the newspapers, we notice in the Bedford (Pa.) Gazelle a series of well. written letters over those familiar initials G. W. B.—meaning, as lie himself informs the reader, General G. W. BOWMAN, at present the excellent superintendent of the public printing of Congress and the Departments. General BOWMAN was himself the editor of the Bedford Gazette for many years, and an excellent paper he made of it. He is now at Washington, but does not forget his old county, nor his old journal. Associated as he 'ls in. terms of exceeding intimacy with Judge BLACK', the Attorney General, whose home is the neighboring county of Somerset, General Bowman is enabled to speak by tho card, and cathedra, which facts render his productions alike interesting and authori tative. His last letter, dated Washington, August 2, and published in the Bedford Ga zette of the oth, contains a passage of much significance, which we copy as follows, as an item of important news "Things seem to look well in the State, not withstanding the amalgamated opposition claim to be able to carry it by thirty thousand As the office of Canal Commissioner will be abolished at the next session of the Legislature, the only matter of State interest is your Supreme Judge question. In the person of William A. Porter, you have a candidate every way worthy the exalted trust for which ho has been nominated ; and if he fails at the polls, it will be beenuse be has not boldly met and endorsed the policy of the Convention which nominated him on the Kan .ras question. In fact, it is a matter of contro versy as to which side of this question he holds to, and he is not disposed to give expression to hix views!, as we are told in his late 9th of July letter. In other words, he thinks it improper in judicial candidates to interfere in polities. This is. conceived by many to be a great mis take on his part. Judges of courts should not be petty politicians, bat they should always be wit ' ling to give a reason for the faith that is in them, especially when candidates for political favor. ' Mr. Porter eau expect no support except from the Democratic, party, and the: WAY to get that is to show himself willing to endorse, em_photirany. views ennuelated by a Democratic President, a Democratic Congress , Demooratio Stale Conven tion, a Democratic,- State Legislature, and almost the entire Democratic press throughout the Union. A neutral candidate.- at a oriole like this, will not be -tolerated by the Democracy of the old Key: stone State,' and the sooner and plainer the fact is :announced the better. squarely Defeat, at the present 'time is ten-fold more esirable with reandidates who do ro tfairly and stand upon the National Democratic platform:, The number of the Gazette in which this "general order" is published contains also the announcement of President lIVOIIANANfriI itr rliakat Bedford Springs ; and there is a ape cial paragraph, stating that the father of tho Democratic candidate for Supreme Judge s ex- Pov,eruor Ponyun, is on the ground.

A Dilemma. wrote, first, under the sage and sagacious counsels of . the Attorney General of the llnitißd States ; and; seconds that what he wrote wail published under the solemn sanction of the triple anspices heroin set forth. The Adininistration of the General Govern ment aro resolved, it will be seen, upon making their Kansas policy such a test in our State election; in October, as will leave no room for cavil. They insist upon having everybody speak out; they demand the renomination of all the Lecomptonites ; and, they say, ((a neu tral candidate will not be tolerated at a crisis like this." Our verdant BIGLER and our Tit-, tlebat Jot.= say there is no test, and that the question is settled; but other and higher au thorities say No! (( Neutrals will not be tole rated." A Prolonged Trial. ' The Jury empanelled to try what is called t' The Kirkpatrick Poisoning Case," retired to their room, on Thursday afternoon, to de liberate upon their verdict. On Saturday, after having been out for nearly forty.eight hOurs without coming to any agreement, they were sent back, and are to reappear in Court at ten o'clock this forenoon. The impression was that they would not give any verdict, and must be discharged. Ono month and a day have been occu plod by this single case—the trial of which commenced so far back as July 7th. The pa tience of Judge AV1.19011, who presided, is only equalled by that of the unfortunate jury. We call them unfortunate, because most, if not all, of them" are In business, which cannot have been forwarded by losing the advantage of the principal's eye for a period of thirty four days. It seems to us, and wo know that this opinion generally prevails, that time has been sadly wasted during this trial. We aro persuaded,, from the newspaper reports of the evtdence and of the speeches of counsel, that the case might have been compactly condensed into a few days. Numerous witnesses, proving pre cisely tho same things, are wficeqsary snd delay the case very mue s li. Then the trial, when in full progress, wan, adjourned for se veral days, because a juryman's near relative had died. Independent of this delay, the pro longed suspense of the accused should have been considered. The speeches of Counsel wore not exces sively long, considerlrg the importance of tir case. The Judge's charge to the 'Jury was clear and concentrated, avoiding wordiness and repetitions. The prolongation of the trial was caused, so far as we can fudge, from the excess of evidence. We can well under stand how, in a case of life and death, the hu manity of a judge may make him admit much evidence which realty does not forward the object of the trial-_—namely, to ascertain the innocence or guilt of the accused. Long trials, which used tobe the exception, now seem to bo becoming the yple. A month and three days over one case does appear a great trial of patience for judge, jury, pri soners, witnesses, and reporters. The gsArago" off Cape Race. The cc Arago," from Southampton, on the 28th ult., was intercepted, off Cape Race, by the steam-yacht of the Associated Press. The news by this arrival has been mostly an ticipated by the Prince Albert, from Galway. Great preparations were In progress for the opening of the now works at . Cherbourg bor and the reception of Queen ph: T roup and other royal and illustrious visiters. Fur ther liabcimedim demonstrations against the Christians bad been made in various places belonging to Turkey. The Sardinian fleet, while on its way to Cherbourg, had been countermanded and ordered to proceed to the coast of Gaudio!' IV" The Democrats of Schuylkill county have nominated JosErn W. CAKE for Congress, and Molten. COCHRANE for the State Senate. Col. CAKE is a gentleman of energy, boldness, and ability, and stands square with DOUGLAS, WISH, and WALKER on the principle of popu lar sovereignty. His election is certain. Mr. 0004IRANE, who was nominated by acclama tion, is the same who was removed by the general adthinistratien after he had been ap pointed postmaster of Pottsville, because ho dared to preside at a Democratic meeting which endorsed the doctrine that the people should govern themselves. This is a fair set off. One side makes the test; the other the protest. One takes the office from the man ; the other proposes to take the man from the office. CO' Da. Wxra.um YOUNG, of Delaware coun ty, will be a candidate for the Legislature at the coming election, from that county. Dr. Y. is a gentleman of high character and much energy, and, from what we know, would make a most efficient Representative.' He is sound on aU the great questions of the day. BY MIDNIGHT MAIL. LETTER FROM II OLCASIONAL.” fOorreepondence of The Press 7 -."' WASHINGTON, August 8, 1858 If the opposition party bad been guilty of a mistake, and subsequently a persistent and pro seriptive policy, like that of Lecompton, the De mocrats would have driven them to the wall, spiked their guns, captured their Sag, and • taken their whole army captive. And yet, for dot ap plauding this policy, Colonel Forney, your bead is to some off! Let ue look at this bad business in the full light of the broad sunshine furnished by the late vote in Kansas. The Democratic party has not done this thing : and yet we aro told it has. Who is the Democratic party? The President and hie Cabinet? No The Senate? No. The House ? No. The Demooratio MONS constitute the party. Did they originate thi s miserable Lecompton ? No. Are they responsi ble for It? No. Will they approve it? Never. Then, it was started not by the people, but by their servants; not by the creators, but by the crew. tures. And dare these latter make of their blunders a test upon those who made them? That remains to be tried. The Democratic party is not responsible for a policy which, if persevered in, will crush all that approve it; and if that party would not tolerate such a policy in its enemies, it certainly will not do so in those who attempt to perpetrate it in the name of Demo cracy. At this writing it looks as if the English bribe had been rejected by about fifteen thousand. The public feeling was wrought up to the highest pitch. What is most significant is the fact that al number of Southern Democrats voted against it a number from the extreme South. Stanton made the Territory ring with his appeals against it. There is a very disgusting warfare going on about Col. Benton, over his grave, by W. Carey Jones, his not very distinguished son-in-law, and the F. P. Blaine, old and young—ho of Silver Spring, Md , (near this city,) and young Prank, of St. Louis. Duff Green has rung himself into the quarrel; and you may expect other participants no the dispute widens. It is absurd to say that Col. Benton over approved the Kansas policy of Mr. Buohanan since it was changed. Col. Benton sup ported Mr. Buchanan for President, and opposed Col. Fremont; but he did this avowedly to avoid the very result which Mr. Buchanan's change of front has brought about. Benton never was the personal friend of President Buchanan, but he supported him from high public reasons in 1856; nor has he been friendly to Douglas for many years, but ho applauded him for his pro test against Leoompton. These are patent facts, and any attempt to gainsay them will only react on the heads of their authors. On the first of August, 1817, the Washington Union Bald: "The real issues between Governor Walker and his assailants aro, fleet, as to whether the State Constitution about to be framed shell or shall not be submitted to the people of Kansas, and, second, who are the people of Kansas. Governor Walker takes the ground that the Constitution should be submitted to a direct vote of the people. The Union has sustaineet,and trill continua to sus tain, the Governor in this position." This is rather a reminiscence. In the great speech of Judge Douglas, at Paris, Illinois, on the 31st July, he Is said to have ter ribly chinned Wendell 4 Co. A gentleman now here, who was present, says there were at least five thousand persons present, and that Douglas was never so eloquent. Look out for the report of this speech. Among the rumors In town from Pennsylvania are the following: That notwithstanding the dispoeition of Mr. Broom (American) to run, Hon. Menry M. Phillips has no (Manna. That Owen Jones may get the nomination, but will be awfully beaten. That Florenoe is hotly pursued by Lehman, Ahern, Nebinger, Day, and others. That Landy Will be defeated anyhow. This bas been a very political letter; but what else could I write about? I eould tall you that General Case is very unwell; that Secretary Ton (ley has gone, or is about to go, to New England; that Mr. Cobb is figuring to d e feat Douglas and to de crease the national debt; that Mr. Secretary Jacob Thompson, of the Interior Department, is mourning, in sackcloth and•ashes, his folly in ever allowing that willing instrument, Martin, to armlet in forcing tho /11roomptouR000tItutlea urea the people; but THE PRESS,-PHILADELPMA, MONDAY, AUGUST 9, ISSB. this would be no news—it is playing on the old String. Nothing about the post office yet. But you may rely upon it, Mr. Buchanan . has got tired of job: hers on this question, and tired of running counter to public opinion. News by the last steamer from California states that Jo. hillibbin will carry his State for reelec tion, and that Scott is nowhere. Dr. Gwin, by the way, ie back here, taking care of his friends., There is a good deal of alarm here about the appointment of Dunn as postmaster of Pittsburgh; but as Barr is so good a friend of Judge Black, it is hoped it may all blow over. Barr hns dia. covered that to be independent of power into he true to himself ; but the fear that he may speak out frightens the trinity. The news is not good from Ohio. The politicians hold the organisation, but the people hold the votes. Mr. Buohanan's message to Queen Victoria, on the completion of the submarine telegraph, is prepared. He is now at Bedford, and she with her new married daughter at or near Berlin. Her message is ready, as announced. There is no use of either returning to their respective courts to send off' these love-letters. Talking of the Douglas demonstration in the Baltimore Democratic Convention, I translate from the German Daily Correspondent, of that oily, of Saturday, as follows : " The Democratic Convention held a meeting In Iteohabite Hall, the day before yesterday, to nom inate a committee, one from each ward, to pass resolutions for nominating a candidate for the next election for the Mayoralty. I.ecompton and anti- Lecompton resolutions were presented and laid on the table by a large majority of votes We must not omit noticing that among those who were pre sent, the greater many voices were in favor of the "Little Giant."

Murex, August 7—Midnight.—To-day the greatest enthuslasm prevailed here in regard to the successful laying of the Atlantic Telegraph cable. Every piece of bunting in the city was displayed, and every bell was ringing. Shortly after four o'cloedt this afternoon Royal salutes were fired from the citadel, and also by the First Halifax Volunteer company, who are on grand parade to-night. All the public buildings and principal buelness establishments and private residences have been brilliantly Illuminated during the entire evening, many of them also being magnificently and gaily decorated with flags. The telegraph office here shone forth with trans. pervades, in which - the names of all celebrated in telegraphic annals were presented, that of Cy• rue W. Field occupying the most conspicuous place. An immense torehlight procession, headed by the mayor, and participated in by the artillery and the engine companies, paraded the streets until a very late hour. Large numbers of citizens are promenading the thoroughfares, cheering enthusiastically when passing the telegraph office. Many parsons came in by railroad from the surrounding country to witness the demonstration. Double Royal salutes of forty-two guns enoh, will be Arad from the citadel and liaipship, and by the Halifax Artillery as Queen Viotoria's mes sage to President Buchanan is passing through Nova Scotia.

AMUSEMENTE THIS EVENING WILCH'S NATIONAL TEICATRS.—"Oapt. sJs"—"Who Speaks First " BANToRD , EI OPER • } lol3sll.—Ethloplau Entertain ment'', &O. No PHILADELPHIA REPRESENTATION.—It has now been clearly determined that no Phila delphia companies will be present at Camp Sus quehanna, at Williamsport, in ° September. The impression which at first existed that those attend ing the encampment would receive sufficient com pensation to defray all expenses has bean dis pelled by recent discussions of the subject, and by the explanatory letter of Adjutant General Wil son. If anything liko the number of military anticipated should be in attendance, it has been (dearly demonstrated by facts and figures there would not be funds in the treasury sufficient to pay a tithe of the sum which the provisions of the law authorise. Nor would the amount realized from the military taxes in the state for the entire year defray the expenses; besides whieb, according to the law, as plainly provided and interpreted by the Adjutant General, the military fund of the district in which a camp of instruction is bold can alone be drawn ' upon for the purpose. Nor can any expenditures of the State military be defrayed out of any other fund—not excepting even the salary of the Adju taut General himself. The development of these feels will have a tendency to make Camp Susque hanna a much leee imposing affair than was anti cipated. A number of our general ofacere, however, will bu in attendance, and share in the military glories to be won upon the ooeasion. NEW CrrY MAREET.—The new and Dean, tiful briar market building, at Broad and Baca streets, we are gratified to see, is having its stalls rapidly occupied by butchers and hucksters. On Saturday morning the market was thronged by purchasers, who prefer to have clean steaks and chops to those which are already peppered with the dust of that busy thoroughfare, Market street. There appears to be a pretty general movement towards the scouring of stalls in the new market, in view of the contemplated removal of the un sightly old sheds on the old market ground ; and we may confidently look for an early vamosing of those miserable old rancheaby both seller and pur chaser of odiblps. It was understood,. some time since, that an arrangement had been completed by whioh these shade were to be speedily removed; but recent appearances seem to indicate a postpone =ant of their removal to some indefinite period. If time has beenany arrangement by which this event has been postponed, theA will be great dis appointment felt—a feeling which it will not re quire long to grow into loud and persistent mut terings. As our City Councils meet again on Thursday, their attention will doubtless be dl rooted to the subject, - F4LaaAux.—The alarm of fire between I eight and nine o'clock, last evening, was caused by the blazing of a bonfire, at Broad and Little Washington streets. The State House bell was not rung, but quite a number of fire companies had a run for nothing. A. slight fire warred yesterday morning be tween ten and eleven o'clock, on the premises of Thomas Fatly, on Frankford road and Vienna street. The fire was occasioned by the burning of a hen-coop adjoining a stable on the promisee, which was filled with shavings for the purpose et bedding horses. Borne youngsters were playing about the shavings, one of whom had some matches, which be ignited, and set fire to the shavings, which soon created quite a blaze. Some one in the neighborhood seeing the blaze, struck the alarm box, upon which the greater part of the fire department was brought out. The alarm was entirely unnecessary, as a huoket of water ex tinguished the flames. At about half-post three o'clock, yesterday, on Tenth street and Ridge avenue, a fire broke oat in the third awry of a building, occupied as a ail• ver•plating establishment. The sash was oom• pletely burned, and the building greatly endan gered. The Brat floor is occupied as a hardware store, the second as a daguerreotype gallery, the third as a silver-plating, ant the fourth as a oar ver's establishment. The damage is estimated at some $2OO to $3OO. Hox Nox TIM ADJECTIVE.—We have no adjective which will aid us in properly describing the warmth, at mid-day, of the last few days Before justice can be done the subject, some mono forcible word to express the.hoat will .havo to be coined.
