I spttr cf frequent attempts at conciliation aad afew instances of actual agreement between English

farm laborers and their employers the lock-o- ut stillcontinues over the larger part of the area first cot-er- ed

by it. The apparent hopelessness cf an earlyagreement has impelled the unions to make the firstorganized effort to promote emigration on a largescale. Mr. Arch ia to tejuVed to take oat sv largeparty to Canada, and ona anion heads an appealfor public subscriptions in aid of the emigration pro-

ject by a donation of $3,000.' Jlinj friendsof thelaborer foresaw early in the straggle that the onlyway to bring the farmers to reason was to lessen theamount of Liber seeking employment, and this effortto send English farm laborers across the Atlanticmay prove the precursor of a great and eon'iiiaoud

tide of emigration. The Trince of Wales was Intitedto attend the recent Agricultural Laborers Conven-

tion in England. In Tepty to the invitation, thefollowing letter from the Prince's Secretary was re-

ceived. There is no one who admires or appreci-ates the excellent and valuable qualities possessed bjthe members tf the working population of thiscountry more than the Prince of Vales ; and betrusted that, with their well-kno- good sense, theywould comprehend that It hardly came within hisprovince to take so decided a step as that whch badbeen proposed to him in firor cf one of the contend-

Something was recently said here about the depre-

ciation of paper money in Cuba, and our Legislature

and oar people were warned by the example of thateouatry not to venture upon the Lwue of non-inter- est

bearing Treasury Notes. Cut a glmce at the facts in

an advance of some 00,000,000 to the government

rity, and is unable to obtain a return. Its nominal

resources consist of SlOl.djO.OOO of discountedmortgages and about 0,000,000 of securities; batprobably the real value of these assets is far less thantheir figures, and they are not immediately available

, THE TEAKS-PACIFI- C TELEGRAPH.

The action of the Hawaiian Legislature a few

dajt before its fnal adjournment, in paseing the

Bill " For th encouragement and aid of any com-

pany now incorporated or that may be hereafterincorporated, for the transmission of intelligence

by electricity,' (see our iseue of the let inst.,)while it eTinccl a epirit or intelligence and lib--,

erality, will proTe in the end to have been very

timely. It ia iinpoawible to estimate the benefitswhich will accrua to these Islands by the layingof a Telegraph Cable from San Francisco to Ja-

pan, with an intermediate station at Honolulu,

thus completing the Telegraph circle of the globe

and placing us as a link in the electric chain. Iti9 bclieTcd that no one undertaking since the dis-

covery by Columbus Idks contributed more exten-ei?e- ly

towards the material adrancement andproeperity of both Europe and America, than thelaying of the-- Atlantic Cables. Their success as

paying enterprises has been signal and trium-

phant, while the cause of humanity and interna-.tiwn- al

amity has been vastly strengthened..' , Pima W - Fir-lr-l . mnre than anyj other man. is

honor of baviog achieved the great undertakingof connecting Europe and America, and he isnow at work in forwarding the Pacific Oceanline, with the same persi tent determination tbatovercame all obstacles on the Atlantic. TheGovernment of the United States, seeing In theprojected enterprise a sure means of promotingthe best interests of the American people, baa forn long time past employed a national ship theTuncarorg, Commander Tk-lkna- in making thenecessary soundings and surveys over two routes,which have been selected as ofTering the mostfavorable cbancea for a successful laying of theTrans" Pacific Telegraph Cable ; and the reports,so far as they have been received and made pub-

lic, show that no obstacles of moment exist,especially on the Southern route by way of theseIslands. '--

"

The Northern route, iroin San Francisco toCupe Flattery, and from thence to Atcha in theAleutian Ielands, and thence to Japan, is open tomany objections, and will, it is thought, berejected. The climate is cold,' rigorous andstormy j the line includes no inhabited countriesin its course, and the cable would bo subject tomany risks, with few facilities for repairing incase of accident. Fogs and etonny weather,which would prevent observations and delaygTappling for the cable for several days whenrej.air8-rwer-e necessary, would be most seriousobstacle to its usefulness and greatly affect its

cuniary value." The southern route by these Islands, which

would include Honolulu, prcenis many advant-

ages, and is on many accounts to be preferred.Already there is a large and lucrative trade be-

tween us and San Francisco, from which we arc2,030 miles distant, and a station here would bemore than a third of the way to Yokohama.And it would not bo difficult to stretch n branch'cable hence to Australia, with stations at NewCaledonia, and the Fiji and Navigator Islands.The difference in distance between the northernand sopthcrn route, something le8 than 1,000miles in favor of the former will necessarilyimposo a greater expense should the southernroute bo chosen, but this fact will be far morethan counterbalanced by tho very many advant-

ages it would posacbtf by reason of more extensiveand constant use of the cable. Mr. Field ie re-

ported to have said that a cable by the way ofHonolulu would cool at least 2,500,000 morethan by the way of Atcha; but storms are rare,and it might bo taken up at any season of the year.

The Tuscarora, on eouuding duty, left SanDiego on the 6th of January last, and arrivedhere, it will be remembered, onbe 2d of Febru-

ary, having met with generally pleasant weatheron tho passage. We subjoin herewith, a diagramof the ocean bed between Honolulu and SanDiego, as indicated by the soundings.

SAN DIKGO.

The j.lateau is remarkably regular, the onenotable exception being an elevation of about2,00 feet in mid-ocea- n, in latitude 2G30 long-

itude 12733', but which is not indicated on thediagram. Sixty-tw- o casts were taken, or one inan average of thirty-eig- ht miles. The generalcharacter of the-- bottom material was a yellowishbrown mud or ooze, which as it was brought upby the cylinder was divided and placed in twovials, one for the ship and the other for tlie NavyDepartment. The serial temperature of the waterwas taken at all dejthe, and it was deduced fr-n-i

many tlcrmouietrical observations considering

also tboe on the northern route that the ljttomtemjraturc of the Pacific ia cr..t.mt at depthsranging from I 00 to 3,051 fathoms. The greatdepth within lesa than a hundred miles of Honolulu 3.023 fathoms would indicate the correct- - I

nexi of the geubgical theory previously enter-

tained, that these Llands are only the top ofsubmersed mountains.

The Tuscaro-- a left this port on the 17th ofMarch last, to continue her soundings westward.The following is a summary of Commander Belk-

nap's report to the Navy Department :

The passage was by way of the Bonin Islands, andmade in 34 days, Yokohama having been reactedApril 23. Seventy-thre- e casts were made, and inBach a satisfactory manner that a person standing on

the top-galla- nt forecastle and watching tte ranningout of the wire could tell the moment the bottom was

reached. Some variations in the sounding apparatuswere made, which need not be described here. Bytwo unfortunate accidents a little more tba a sevenmiles of the piano wire were lost, although np to thistime it had shown extraordinary tenacity, and thatwith which the soundings began was still in use. Thegreatest depth fuund was 3,287 fathoms, or aboutthree and three-quart- er statute miles, which was inthe neighborhood cf the Bonin group. '

A range cf submarine mountains was found withsoil of varied character, the vallevs sending up light,yellow-bro- w n ooze or mud in the specimen-cup- s, andthe sides and tops cf the mountains, coral, limestoneand sand, with fragments of lava. In three or fourinstances, too, solid rock was struck, the cups comingup empty, and the points freshly battered; ia othersthe ooze from the plateaus was found to contain parti-

cles and fragments ol lava, and in one specimen,brought up sixty miles from the base of one of thenjimarin paka. quite a lump of the satne material

was found. Coral, sand and lava were also found allthe way from the Bonin group to the coast of Japan,and the entire region west of the Hawaiian Islandswould seem to have been subjected at some, remoteperiod to volcanic disturbances. Six of these sub-

marine mountains were found, varying from 7,000 to12,000 feet in bight lying in range with Marcus Isl-

and, which last Commander Belknap supposed toform the apex of a volcanic cone. Time did not per-

mit to sound in the vicinity of the mountains, so asto determine their conformation and discover whetherthey were detached or connected in riJges, but he in-

ferred that he bad discovered what Professor Danathought would be most curious, a " range of deep seacones or sunken volcanic islands." The ocean-be-d

between the Bonin Islands and the entrance to YedoBay was found to be very irregular. The deepestwater found here was 2,435 and the next deepest1 ,C9C fathoms. . .

v The last advices from the Tuscarora were datedYokohama. New wire had been received, necessaryrepairs had been made, and it was expected to renewthe soundings towards the Aleutian Islands as soonas the season was far enough advanced to permit,which will probably be about July loth- - - -

This sketch of the surveys of the vessel should notbe close I without paying a high compliment to .theofficers, who are all, from the Captain down,thoroughly skilled in their own craft, and otherwiseadmirably qualified for so great an undertaking.They have pursued the work with a zeal and earnestness hardly expected of men detailed to an arduousand xct altogether agreeable duty.. As we said at the outset, a cable from SanFrancicco to Yokohama is all that is now neededto complete the electric girdle of the world.London is the world's great iclegrnj.h center.No lees than eleven cables are found necessary totho electric intercojsc of the I'ritish isles withthe rest of the globa. These extend to Christia-ni-a,

Copenhagen, Ilreincn, 'Belgium, Calais,Havre, Brest, Lisbon, Belfast and Dublin. Theline to Copenhagen is continued to St. Peters-

burg, Moscow, and thence eastward to China andJapan. Two lines, one through Warsaw andSouthern Russia, and another through Vienna,Constantinople and Asia Minor, connect Londonwith the Persian Ciulf. Tho line from Londonto Sues is a continuous cable, via Lisbon, theStraits of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea,tapped by a cable at MalUi. A continuous cabledown the Bed Sea and across the portion of theIndian ocean called the Sea of Arabia connectsSuez with Bombay. Hindustan is connectedwith Farther India and Malacca by a cablo fromCeylon, and by a land line and cable that followthe const of the Bay of Bengal. Cables thatdiverge at Singapore connect Malacca with Hong-

kong and Shanghai, and with Java, Australiaand New Zealand. The Russian telegraph linetouches the coast at Pinghwang, north of theIsthmus of Corca, whence a cablo is laid toShanghai, connected by a shorter one with Japan.

.South America is now io telegraphic communi-cations with Europe and the rest of the world. Acable extends from Lisbon to the Cape de VerdeIslands, and a new one from those islands to Per-nambu-

in Brazil, has been succe6fully laid,and is now in operation. From Pernambuco ofcourse there are wires to Rio and the otherimportant cities of tho Brazilian empire. . It isto be expected that lines will be ran across thecontinent to the Western States of South America,which will also thus be brought into communica-tion with the rest of the world.''.'Mr. Field, the father of Ocean Telegraphy,was recently in San Francisco, where he made

r known some of bis plans for carrying forward thegreat work of connecting by cable the continentsof America and Asia. When ho is satisfied thatsufficiently accurate soundings have been taken torender possible a tolerably exact computation ofthe cost of the cable, he will proceed to form hiscompany, and the work of manufacturing thecable will be speedily commenced. The GreatEastern, drawing forty feet of water when loaded,will be engaged to lay the cable. The followingare Mr. Field's calculations as to the cost of thecable and tho tariff of charges :

" The cost of an ocean cable will be $1,500 permile. From San Francisco to Yokohama is aboutO.i W miles ; from the Sandwich Islands to Australiaabout 8,800. The cost of the main cable may beestimated then, including the laying, at 10,000,-00- 0,

and of the Australian line at $5,000,0"X). It isexpected that the business immediately accruingwould be $10,000 a month, to be thereafter indefi-nitely increased, without calculating on the businessfrom London, much. of which would naturally takethis route. The present tariff of Asiatic and Austra-lian twenty-wor- d messages from London by existinglines is, to Port Darwin, $46 C2; New South Wales,$40 88: Victoria, $47 12; to the great Chineseports, $30 ; Yokohama, $ 16 62 ; Batavia, $29 60 ;Penang. $28 60 ; Singapore, $27 50. By adding$10 to each of these rates the reader will have thetariff to each point mentioned from New York, andly adding $12 to each, the rates from San Francisco.

The prospective rates by the Pacific cable are onedollar per word from San Francisco to Hongkongand two dollars per word to all points in Japan,China and Australia, the number of words to be atthe option of the sender. A message cf ten wordswill then cost ten dollars from San Francisco to Ho-

nolulu and twenty dollars to each cf the points men-

tioned above. Add two dollars to these sums, and itwill give the tariff to New York; add twelve dollarsand it will give the rate to Londun. It is plain fromthis calculation that the projected cable will hive allthe Asiatic business of all our Eastern cities, and

: much of the business of Londco. If existing linesj reduce their tariff, there will fctill be an advantage ioI fimP. fifth? imrv,rtrrfttfV-- t n r fit srkmniiT.Mk1 n aO " ,w su vvui mv vimi t a auc

actions. Owing to delajs, by reason of accumulatedbuine?s, at Hongkong, Singapore (the Australianjunction), Bombay, Suez, Malta and Lisbon, mes-sages from China and Japan to LnJun are oftentwelve hours iu transit, whereas it is expected that

by the Pacific cable the time consumed between thetwo points need never exceed half an hour. TheSiberian telegraph line, passing through a cold, desolate, thinly-people- d region, need hardly be takeninto account, its operations are so much of the yearinterrupted by snow, sleet and continued storms."

It is hardly necessary here to dilate upon theimmense advantages, political as well as commer-

cial, tbat will accrue to our now isolated King-

dom if the Pacific cable shall be laid to oar shores.And it is for this reason that we have regardedthe Act passed by the Legislature aa peculiarlytimely and of the highest importance. It onlyremains for the administration of the Governmentto Bgnify its earnest desire to forward this greatenterprise and to carry oat the enlightened viewsof the Legislature, by promptly patting itself incommunication with the principal promoter ofthe undertakiEg. r .

... . PLANT TREES,f

J Oae-of-L-he wisest measures, looking to the

welfare of Honolulu and its immediate neighbor-hood, that was passed by the Legislature, is the" Act to amend Section 1 of an Act entitled anAct to authorize the Minister of the Interior totake possession of whatever land and water maybe required for the ase of the Honolulu Water

ortbe Minister of tie Interior to the ridge ofmountains lying between the district of Honoluluand the district of Kaneohe, and anywhere be-

tween the ridges that bound Nuuanu Valley; andthe object, as we understand it, is to put a stop tothe destruction ol tb woods by cattle. This is asubject to which we bare earnestly directed thefnattention of the ' authorities in years past,' andnow tbat the requisite legislation has been bad,we hope ere long to see active measures taken toward: banishing the cattle and rehabilitating thealmost bare hill-side- s of the Talley. We know ofno person in the country better qualified or whowould more heartily enter into the work of tree--A

planting,, thai Mr, II. Uoleteio. Pertinent to-- 'tho Bubject, we append several extracts from alecture delivered by Mr. Holstein in this city last

! "''year., ." ; .

" That trees and groves and forests attract rain, isan undisputed and well known fact, and verified inHonolulu even, ir people only will remember thetimes of twenty years ago, when scarcely a tree wasto be seen in and near the city. Trees not only pre-serve by their shade the moisture that has been ab-

sorbed by the soil, but they cool the surrounding at-

mosphere. Humboldt asserts that a tree whose crownmeasures thirty feet in diameter influences the at-

mosphere to a distance of 300 yards. Trees also addgreatly tr. the moisture of the atmosphere by theirwonderful force pump power, by which they are en-

abled to send the moisture absorbed by their tinyroots into the smallest branch and twig that may befrom 20 to 200 feet above the ground, and as by thisprocess more water is pumped up than required, itis again evaporated by the leaves and falls in dropsof rain to the ground, which . is the cause that wesometimes meet with a shower of rain in a forest,while beyond it is dry and clear. Humboldt in hissojourn in Venezuela resided at a village, where onaccount of the destruction of forests upon a neigh-boring mountain a lake had dried up and the coun-try became so sterile that the people had been com-pelled to emigrate; but after having restored theforests by replanting and leaving to nature its undis-turbed action,' the lake gradually filled np again, thesoil became productive and the people returned totheir abandoned homes.' " Mountains all over the world contain the reser-voirs of water. Be . they Alp or Andes, Kocky orUral mountains, Alegbanies or Adirondack, all arethe cradles of the thousands of streams and riversthat run towards the sea and bring back the watersthat were evaporated, and those hoary sires of con-tinents look down with pride upon the countriesspread out beneath their base, that owe their beauty,fruitfulness and prosperous peoples to those springsthat like mothers' milk flowed from their bosoms. Ihave heard the more than puerile remark, thatthere are nc reservoirs of water in our island moun-tains, when the many streams of the past and thestreams of to-da- y, the springs that empty aboveground and below the surf beaten shore, contradictsuch ideas, unworthy of farther notice.

"In Denmark and North Germany forests arecontinually planted by the government to preservethe equilibrium between supply and demand, and tothis foresight and wisdom is due the freedom fromdrought and cheapness of firewood. I judge that Ihave raised in this country not short of a million oftrees, but the Khedive of Egypt has done better andplanted twenty million of trees in the desert in muchless time, and where rain was never known before, 7inches fell last year. When every preparation isperfected for planting, the work can be done withmuch speed. . I have myself planted with a fewhands over three thousand trees in a single day atUlupalakua. Forest planting should be divided inthree classes, of trees, to wit : such as tell most tocool the atmosphere, such as will serve the purposeof undergrowth, shading the ground and in timerealise as firewood, and lastly such as produce valuable wood for ship building and all other purposeswhen strong wood is desirable. The common kukuitree is the most useful for: cooling the atmosphere.while besides mulberry, etc., and wood as used asgrowth and fire-woo- d, and various species of Euca-lyptus are valuable either for their bark as Tannin,or Quinine, or as ship timbers, some kinds being impregnable by the Toredo."

Bankrupt Law in America.The fallowing are the most important provisions of

the new bankrupt Act in the United States, whichhas been approved by the President :

First No proceedings can be taken in involun-tary or compulsory bankruptcy excepting by theaction of one-four- th in number of creditors and one-thi- rd

in value of the claims against the debtor.Second. The provision of the present law re

quiring that the assets of an involuntary bankruptshall be equal to fifty per cent of the indebtedness(proved or provable) is repealed without limitation

Third. In voluntary bankruptcy the bankruptmay. be discharged on the payment of thirty percent, upon his liability, provided that one-four- th ofhis creditors in number, and they representing onethird of tbe amount of prove! or provable indebtedness agree to his disoharge.

of the creditors, representing a certain pro-

portion (three-fourt- hs are believed to be the propor-tion) of the indebtedness, which, if had, suchcomposition may be enforced upon the non-agreei- ng

creditors.Fifth. The two periods of four months and six

months prescribed as the limits of certain reclaimingand voiding processes, are reduced to sixty days andfour months respectively, but this not to take effectfor two months after the passage of tbe act.

Sixth. The expenses of all officers, agents, etc.,to be reduced to one-ha- lf the present rates ; the oldrules to remain in force until the Supreme Courtshall arrange the new tariff of charges.

In estimating the number of creditors in certaincases no debt under $50 is counted in tbe number,though it may be computed in value. '

All the young women in the country would dowell td heed the words of Bishop Foster, addressed,to the graduating class of the Wesleyan FemalojCollege in Cincinnati. He said: "Learn your;obligations to the past ; be careful of the presentand prepare yourself for the great future tbat M

before yon. The reign of brain bas come. Thoughyou may not be found on the battle-fiel- d or at thjballot bus. you can build up tbe future by build?Ing up the men. You live in a particularly excit-ing time, when you have placed in opposition tJyou one of the greatest of vices, and you womenwill conquer if all of those "of your sex who arereal women will combine. Beware of coxcombsand libertines. v Tbey are fools, whether they knowit or not. By your conduct toward them, sendthem front your presence. .Reserve your heartsand love for men. Be not what is known as a' fa.sliion-.ibl- " woman. There in nothing so foolinbas such a woman, and none but fools admire her."

TiE San Francisco mint has cled for theyearly settlement, and the following startles showthe coinage for the year: Gold Double eagles.$21,960,009; eagles, $120,000; half-eagle- s. $ 155,-000- ;

Speaking of the new law provid-ing for the coinage of twenty-cen- t piece, a SanFrancisco paper says : This U a reform whichbas long been demanded by the citizen of ttePacific Coast, as tending to abolish the bit'nuisance. Public opinion bas long voted the

'bit' an abomination, but there being nocoin between the ten and twenty-fiv- e cent piec7 ithas been - tolerated from necessity. Supposingthat the bill has passed through all the formsnecessary to make it a law," it is' safe to aert thatthe twenty-cen- t piece will become a favorite."

A New England newspaper announces uponauthority that II. W. Longfellow, the pot. is aboutto write the life of Sumner. Mr. Longfellow ia atthe bead of American literature ; no American,certainly, holds so high and honorable a place.His rotations with Sumner were those of peculiarintimacy, and be would bring to his work not onlythe highest culture, but a loving tenderness ofcriticism which would make the work a master-piece ia biography.
