LATE CABLE NEWS. [Per Arawata.]

London, June 7. The news of the death of the illustrious -patriot, Garibaldi, has been received with profound regret throughout Europe. A national monument is to be erected to his memory in Italy, and subscriptions towards the object are flowing in from all quarters. Statues of the deceased general are to be erected in his honor in .various towns of Italy and the Continent. The death of General Garibaldi was 1 announced in the French-, Chamber of Deputies on Saturday. Immediately on receipt of the intelligence, the sittings of the Chamber were suspended, and an adjournment unanimously agreed to as a mark of respect to Garibaldi's memory. The traffic through the Suez Canal is increasing. During the past year the number of ships of all nations passing through the Canal is shown by the returns to have been 34 per cent, greater than was the case during the previous 12 months. The tonnage shows a proportionate increase during the same period. The Orient steamship, Potosi, which left London for London for Australia on the Ist instant, and put into Plymouth on account of heriefugerating machinery collapsing, left for Melbourne on Saturday. She, is taking a shipment of valuable live stock for Australian consignees. The stiike in the iron trade in the United States still continues, the men being firm in enforcing their demands, whilst the masters seem determined to decline all concessions. Great inconvenience is being caused by the closing of the manufactories, and the consequent stoppage of production, a large number of pvesbing orders remaining unexecuted. The harvest in Irelaud this year promises to be an unusually favourable one. The harvest prospects in America are very unfavourable. Edward Hanlan is suffering from a fever in Toronto, and consequently his match with Wallace Ross for the aquatic championship of the world has been indefinitely postponed. The French harvest prospects are excellent. The Rev. John Curwen, a well-known Independent minister, who developed and promoted the Tonic Sol-fa method of teaching, and who founded the Tonic Sol-fa Association, is dead.
