ON Thursday evening last a dinner wu given by a number of gentlemen connected with the various telegraphic comeauice, in honour of Professor MORSE the r:ientific hero for 'Allow is reserved the glory of bringing Englund and America within speaking distance of each other. The fact is as honourable to those who gave the entertainment as to him in whose honour it was giro). Tne two thousand miles of cable will have the practical effect of diminishing the distance between Acre end America by more than one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine miles, as far as the mere delivery of messages is concerned. And bow much depends upon &message! A message from Paris to Toulcuse, at the time of the end of the Peninsular War, would have prevented the occur• rence of one of the bloodiest battles fought during the contest with NAPOLEON. A message sent at the right time may perform functions of the most important nature, from the prevention of a war to the saving of a mercantile firms. Professor Mona, who will have the glory of making the transmission of such measeges possible across the Atlantic, deserves that hie merits should be recognised. Although the first actual realisation of the idea of the electric telegraph took place in England, it is to Professor MORSE that America is indebted for lays. tem of telegraphs which covers the States with lines 40,000 miles long. He has conferred upon the United States benefits greeter than any which they have received from any other living citizen. The distances between correspondents in that hugs country, whether Government officials, merchants, relations, or (times, are so enormous that the difficul ties of communication are greater than could be imagined in the old country. It is no uncommon thing for a New Yorker to depart from the whole of his relations and settle • thousand miles away in the far wee, without any hope of ever visiting them agaio. Without the electric telegraph the commu nication between the severed relations would droop, and, perhaps, in time be stopped. Families would be sundered morally u well as materially, were it not for a cheap and rapid mode of correspondence. The mu who effects this is cue of the greatest besefactou to his country. If he does it in spite of material obstacles which require for long periods of time the utmost tension of ell his bodily and intellectual can cities—in spite of morel obstacles from the opposition of interested partite, or the indifference of lukewarm) friends, his merit is the greater. Such merit is doe to Professor Mona; and, if he only came amongst us with this title to our respect, he would deserve to be received with triumphal honours. Simply because he has applied *duos to the purposes of increasing the comfoes of millions of our brethren in Amerios, it is a right thing that he should be welcomed. But to there claims on our admiration he brings others on our gratitude. Re is going to bring us into the claret connexion with the other great division of the Anglo-Saxon race, from which some thousand miles of ocean yet sever us. He is going to multiply the facilities of commerce,—to ineriase • tboneandfold the possibilities of conference between the two countries. The more we know of each other, the leas chases will there be of our quarrelling. Misun derstanding is another word for quarrelling, end be who opens the way to a more complete understanding between nations is • peace-maker of the highest ceder. We treat more to the effects of Mr. Moan's cable than to the inns of all the peace societies 011 both aides of the Atlantic. There is 'nether reason which induoss us to feel pleasure in the tact of the celebration of Thursday lest. It was a peace festival of the beet kind. It is all very well to exclaim with MILTON, " How charm ing is divine Philosophy ;" but we ought to dos little more for Philosophy then cautious calling her divinity, and then leap lug her as destitute of eloth log as the most scantily dressed goddess in the Pantheon. We all sly we love Philosophy, but we are apt "to love sod to ride away." Not so with other objects of our adoration —war, for example. We are m tired of celebrating the glories of martial harem When they visit our shores, the air is rent with the thunders of our cannon; it is heavy with the incense we burn on their altars, rich with the perfume of the viands we offer up to them. We overwhelm them with honours, and make them blush—when they can blush—with oar fulsome praise. We do not say that this excessive laudation is always unmerited. Heroism, whether displayed in war or in any other manner, is worthy of reward, but too many are apt to think that martial heroism is the only heroism. We do not often AO the per formers of any glorious deeds, except those dose on the battle field. The dinner to Professor Monet is a peat exception to our usual practice, and we are only too glad to reeved our approbation of it. It was, as we have said, a peace festival of the best kind. llRFREatinatioN OF LINC.:LN.—Loird Glaissioh having bees applie 1 to to allow Mandl to bent la neadea• now 100 no reovontati..• of the city of Lianiu (is us battles with ZAPF 8 hthoffp•), at the entgenovsleisMisa f Us teleran the following reply 8, Nevins Pork, Tea bridge-welts, Ott. 2 Dear Sir,—Owing to my MUM Am Zealand, I did sot wean your letter of the 21•4 of Sep. huhu vain lett night; fled I greatly mint the delay which hes thus nosirrtd Is my replyieg to it. lan meth flattered by Isarrina that any porton el the eiseletie of you city world be willin g to support is. if I wen hatene a ceadidno• at the ant eleviln, aad I an .e pa l N s you for having thought of •esa It penes ta = Ms. Seely is that nowity ; but I morel Mhe ORlffan 8110 1 1 bna you that it would sot be rank kg inir grgell a =t your fru, ea sty °Winnow to my Wallin to would sot allow ow to arms* a saadlisio hp smaboo borough, so lore as they are williag M sualins M M Men support.

EXPRFSS FROM PARIS. PARIS, SUNDAY Ilyarniro. M. Ember, the Minister of Public Works, whose arrival at Marseilles has been announced by tele graph, is about to examine personally the works going on for the amelioration of the mouths of the Rhona and intends to study the projects for a second line of railway between Marseilles and Avignon, and for the making of the Saint Louis Canal. The following is the autograph letter sent by the Emperor of Russia to Count de Moray, together with the insignia of the order of St. Andrew : In testimony of my particular sateen fee yourself, and In cous;deratiow of the friendly relations so happily re established between Ruda and France, I have, on the day of my solemn coronation, umaisated you a Haight of the Order of St. Andrew, the Insignia of which I herewith thud you. ALILNDII. In the course of a recent speech at an agricultural meeting, M. Troplong, the President of the Senate, alluding to the Emperor's visits to the inundated districts, said: History tells us that our ancient kMge were wont to touch patients for the scrofula, the meaning of whisk ceremony was that the monarch should be to hie afflicted sahjeet s the most zealous of all physician. There fs, however, a better manner of fulfilliag this pious duty, and t►e Emperor hmehown us how, in this age of enmity to superstition, the sorts of a people are to be touched and healed. A snb.lientenant of the Artillery School at Metz, M. Thuillier, who was killed a few days since in a I duel, was buried on the 10th, without the rites of the church. The general commanding the dis trict, the Mayor of Metz, and a large con course of officers and private individuals, fol- lowed the corpee to the grave, and a very painful sensation was created in the town by the strict enforcement, on this occasion, of a rule which the church is often content to forget. The Madrid lettere and papers have not arrived in Paris to-day. PARIS, SATURDAY Eviumnro. I am enabled to give a positive contradiction to the report of the Austrian Gautta that the King of Naples had written autograph letters to Queen Vico toria and the Emperor Napoleon offering to submit the Neapolitan question to the Paris Congress. According to the most recent news from Naples, de rived from the very best source, the King is firmly resolved not to make the slightest concession. I have very little doubt that the naval demonstration in the Bay of Naples will, after all, be made, and that France will join in it, although reluctantly and with an arritire penafe. Prince Napoleon is about to publish a book, illus trated with numerous engravings, giving an account of his recent tour in the north ot Europe. The Emperor, in order to give a proof of his soli citude for the working climes at Lyons, has just given an order for silk stuffs, of Lyons manufacture, to the value of 100,000 [ranee. The Bourse has been firm to-day. The Rents opened at a considerable advance, with a moderate ' business doing. The rise brought forward sellers, and a slight reaction took place about half-pest two o'clock, but there was afterwards a brisk recovery, and the closing prices were 67.16 for cash and 67.30 for account, being a rise of 40 and 55. Bank ot France shares roes 150. Credit Mobilise rose 20f. Railways were firm, but in less demand than the Rent.. They improved from sf. to 10f. I am just informed that Grellet, one of the cashiers of the Northern Railway, who, as you are aware, is accused of having robbed the company to an enor mous amount, has been arrested at New York. Ocie of the detective officers sent in pursuit of him was struck with the appearance of a man in the streets wearing white tromps's, which, it seems, are not common in New York. He followed him into the house of a M. Belmont, an agent of Messrs. Roths child, where Orellet, little thinking that he had been tracked, was in the act of changing some paper. The capture was then and there effected. °tenet's bro ther, and a M. Perot, two of the parties suspected to be accomplices in the robbery, have also been arrested at New York. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. TO NAPLES. Oar Paris correspondent writes, Gnaw date of yes. terday evening : . _ "The news which I gave yon yesterday, with en tin confident», that the press of Europe has been altogether misled in announcing that the Neapolitan difficulty was virtually at an end, is confirmed in many quarters today. The Assembles states posi tively that the King of Naples did not write the autograph letters imputed to him, proposing to send 'representative to the Paris Ccagress, and the P (kris reproduces the same news from the Nord of Brussels. Bat more than this, &correspondent)e in the Correspon dent do Nuremberg, which tallies in many respects with my private information, leads to the belief that the French fleet will speedily sail for the Bay of Naples. This journal says According to a despatch from Paris, received here (at Vienna) two days since, it seems to be certain that the departure of the French fleet for Naples is only adjourned for a very short period, and that the noel of the French ambassador, M. Breeder, with all the personnel of the legation, will very shortly take place. Austria, up to the last moment, succeeded in staying the hand of France by all sorts of pretexts. But it appears that the court of Parisi/at last out of patience, and the rather because they seem to be better informed in Paris than we are in our own diplomatic circles, of the ill-success which has attended the last efforts made by Austria, through General Martini. The cabinet of the Toile , ries has, moreover, invited Austria to send some ' shire to join the expedition. As to whether Austria will comply with this suggestion no decision has yet been taken. It appears, however, that with other views, and without having the least intention to figure in the projected demonstration sea member of the alliance of December, Austria will nevertheless send one or two steamers to the Bay of Naples, to be at the disposal of the Austrian ambassador.'"

The Fortitude, which left Melbourne on the 17th of July, had arrived at Ceylon, but she had brought no mails. At the date above mentioned, wet, ungenial weather had produced temporary dullness in trade and lessened the prodnotion of gold. Vessels with imported !goods continued to increase stocks, which could not be conveyed to the diggings owing to the roads being broken up. Speedy improvement was hoped for, however, and had indeed partially taken place. The price of gold remained steady at 768. per ounce ; standard was selling at 738.9 d. Quarts crushing operations were being rapidly developed and perfected—an office for assaying the amalgamated gold bad been established—and it was thought that ere long gold would be exported only in the form of ingots. Large nuggets must of course always form an exception. Ooe is reported as having been dis covered near Muy borough, weighing upwards of 260 °anon, and being one solid mass of gold. In that ease it will be worth at learnt 1,0001. Wool was readily sold, out tallow was so much in demand for soap and candle making in the colony, that there was little margin for shippers. A good business was doing in spirits, and Martell's brandy at 14e. 6d., and Old Tom at e. 6d., were in demand, though there was little market for other imports. Dry goods and slops realised only 20 per cent. on invoice, and salmon was selling at 26 per oentionder home price. The metal market was lower. Bar iron bad been sold at 151. It is stated that Welsh bars will not sell at any price, and that no bars_shorter than sixteen feet should be sent. We quote the report of the money market: MONZT MAIL/laT —For want of approved letUritied very little beldam. is doieg, nor do we expect any until a low rate of intend is established. Capitalists still hold out for 10 per sent., although unable to invest at that rate. At 8 per cent. a moderate besieges might be done. The share market has 'seen very inactive. Geelong and Melbourne Railway shares are offering at 10 per cunt. diteount. A large number of Colonial Bank shares have been taken up at 10 per cont./premium, and several transactions made outside have been registered at the same rates. Melbourne Gan shares are in demand at par. The Mindoro, R.M. ship, had arrived on 11th July, but her news had been forestalled by the Lan cashire Witoh with troops, and the Mary Anne,which bad arrived at Tasmania. The Ellen Bates had arrived at Melbourne, July 6. The Champion of the Bess had sailed for Liverpool on July 10; the Tree Briton was to sail for London on Ist August; and the James Baines for Liverpool on the 6th. Six miles of the Melbourne and Geelong Railway had been opened, and it was expected that the whole would be ready for traffic by New-Year's day. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have reoeived files of papers from Cape Town to the sth of August inclusive. The following communication had been received from the Free State: Mooi River Dorp, Jane 23. On Friday morning, the 13th June, sever•l waggons, forming pert of the second division of the Commando, left Moot Bayer Dcrp for the lager at Mariko. They rode the first evening as far u Mat Sprott, a noted place for lions. Mr. Philip van Coller and his brother wishing to proceed, lupin ed their we gg .ris about midniglitalthough they were strongly advised by their companions not to rid* before morn ing. They bad scarcely ridden an hour, when the oxen were suddenly frightened. Philip van Collet jumped off his wag gon and endeavoured to tura them, but Rot succeeding in doing •o, sprang upon the waggon-trap, from which he mut have been immediately dragged by a lug* lion, with such farce as to break one of the trap riems. He was heard to cry out twice for help, but in the confusion cf the aro seat was not missed, his brother Adolph being busy at the time on bonsai ack, endeavouring to stop the oxen, which were going at • fearful rate through the veld. With much difficulty be succeeded in doing so, and then returned to look for his miraiog brother, whose body he found about daybre eh, and the lion coaching about 12 yards from it. With a keling of desperation he levelled his gun and fired at the animal : the aim was good, and as the ball passed riot through ita brad, it fell down on the spat. Oa coming n to his brother's body, the poor men was sadly shocked at its mutilated condition, the lion having carried it • long distance, and then devoured the greater pc rtlon. The remains were hastily conveyed to town, and upwards of eighty pi no: s attended the funeral. Poor Philip van Colley leavu a widow and several children to deplore their loss and his melaccholy end. P.S.-1 have sines learnt that, previous to the oxen be coming frightened, the lista font attacked, without eny pro woe ition, Adolph van Coller and three other men, who were riding on horseback same distance in front of the waggon. Having unfortunately no guns with them, they jumped off their horses, and stood between them and the lion. The lion, however, arpeared to be more anxious to attack them than their hors, a, on which they shouted, and threw their hats at him, and afterwards fired the grass, when he left them and went to the waggon. The surrounding country being all occupied, the lions appear to have concentrated themselves at this spa', where they are extremely bold. NATAL We have advicea from Port Natal to July 18.

We have received oar advice: in anticipation of the Overland Mail. The date. 're--Calcutta, Sep tember 8 ; Bombay, September 12. In the summary of the Bombay Times we read : _ " Two days after the despatch of last mail, a noti fication was published in the Gazette, that a four and-a.half per oent. loan was to be opened, of hide. finite amount, and guaranteed for a period of ten years at least. The Sc. per cents., which ought to have gone up to ten premium to be at par with the four-and-a-half, have scarceiy at all advanced, and none of the new stook has, so far as iwe can learn, as yet been taken up. If in India, govern. meat cannot raise money at present under five per cent., any amount that might be required could be raised at home at three; and the London authorities, were the common principle of Snanciership recog aimed in Cannon-row and Leadenhall street, could raise in the Stock Exchange the three millions re linked to be sent home annually, instead of draw ing on India at the most capricious rates of exchange, compelling us to borrow at extravagant terms of in terest, to the utter confusion of the money market. "The loan had scarcely been gazetted when we were stunned by • call for transports to acccompany ' an expedition to the Persian Gulf, to chastise the Shah for capturing Herat in violation of the treaty of 1853. Eleven transports of an aggregate burden of ten thousand tone, engaged at the rate of 11. per ton a month, are being prepared to receive ten or fitteeu thousand men and a thousand horses on board. As if to begin with bungling, a circular re. quiriog freight was sent round at the outset to four houses out of twenty-five that had ships to be die peed ot, and the result war that 11. was paid for freight, when the market price was 18s. at the highest, thus imposing • lose on Govern ment of 2,0001. a month. At present we are paying 10,0001. monthly for ships, which we sin cerely trust will be employed ; and the prepa rations now being made will within the next six weeks probably oat half a million sterling if not a man should ever quit oar shores for the Gulf. In these topics are comprised all the tidings of material importance the past fortnight has supplied. Our rainy season has very nearly closed, and, though rain has been plentiful all over Central and Upper India, in Bombay we are still somewhat short of our customary supplies. We have just received accounts of an inundation at Cabal, in which great damage bad been done to lands and property.

Now, awarding to the retest rote of the Public Works Five per Cent. Leas, say 31 per cent. premium, the new loss, to give the same rate of lamest, would only be wento 931; it Is not, therefore, likely that the pebble will sebscribe to it at par, sad therefore we would not be at all earprieed if a sew Ave per cent. loan was opened.

A Malta correspondent writes, under date of the 9th:—" A few days ago, a black Amctican sailor, is a state of druakenness, drew a knife on a priest, a most heinous crime at Malta. He was instantly secured by the pollee, sad all who knew anything of Malta considered his cue a desperate one, fir to limit a priest is an unpardonable crime. Ilia shipmates consulted the best lawyer in the town, whore advice was, Stick to it through thick and thin that you are a devout catholic ; look horrified if you are asked to kits the bible; but show great devotion to the crop ; and the only pleading is to call upon the blessed virgin for protec tion ; make no other defence.' When the sailor was called before the magistrate, his lawyer was heard to urge him not to • forget his religion.' Jack followed these directions, and was acquitted; after which he and his shipmates de clared that whenever they were in for • row they should hoist Roman Catholic colours." A HERO IN HUMBLE LIFE. (By Ilugb ll'llocald.) Our friend, Mr. 3l'Donald, furnished as with the following biatory of a min" two or three days ago, but we wets unable to crash it in. The object of Mr. M'Donald's sketch is worthy of the warmest assistance philanthropy can render. Heroism is not contioed to the army and navy. It is to be met with in every rank and condition of life. The phy sician who risks his existence in tending the victims of a deadly epidemic is as brave, and possibly more so, than the soldier who shares a charge, or who leads a forlorn hope. Erma in the ordinaty walks of society—in tho beaten paths of trade and commerce—we meet occasionally with mini . . (citations of courage and of eneurance uncle; trial which ere worthy of the bigheet honour, end are really entitled to the appellation of heroism. But to our tile. About 25 or 30 years ago, when the writer of this was a boy, there lived in the mitten part of the city a young man named James Lambert. He was a cotton spinner by trade ; but what rendered him remarkable then, and what calls for oar special tso•ice at present, was his excellence es • swimmer and diver. Among the thousands who frequented the Sprierboerds, the " Dominie's Hole," or the Peat Bog, "whet summer days were fine," there was none who could rival Jamie Lambert. In the water he was as much at home es a duck. Over the surface he glided with a f•otley which was really ettonishisg, while be could fathom the deepest pool, or mom the ' larder water, from side to side with ease. Again and again we have seen bim go down and remain so long under the surface that we really held our breath in fear lest he should never emerge. Far away, however, the in domitable Lambert was sure to mike his appearance. With us boys he was naturally a great favourite. In south we love the daring sad the heroic; end on Lambert, the peerless swimmer, we looked with mingled awe and admiration. Nor was it only for his superiority in swimming and diving that James Lambert claimed oar respect ; moray a life be saved from the Clyde. Whenever the cry got up that some one wee drowning, there was Lambert ready to plunge into the rescue. Many a sore struggle bas he bad with death in the channel of our native river, whet the grip of the dying wee upon him, yet eeleom did he fail in his efforts. Often end often have we seen him go down to grope in the deep brown water for the corpses of thine who had perished, end many • cold and pallid body has he beouget to the surface. One day a poor old wernen, while washing on the Green, had occasion to go to the Clyde for water, end while dipping her stoop lost her balence, end was precipitated into the . For a short time she floated, but at length she went down. At this moment Lambert appeared on the spot. He was shown about toe place where the old woman had sunk, and, without a moment's hesitation, plunged in, clothes end all, and at once auceeedi d in brieging her saber,. The poor eld creature was quite insensible, but after a short time she was restored to consciousness. Oa coming again, as it were, icto eziatence, she exclaimed, " Where', the man that saved my life ? Let me see the man that took me not." Lambert, who was standing at hand, said, " Here I am, auld wife, end I as glad to see you coming round." The roor old creature was profilse in her exclamations of gratitude, and called down soy amount of ble.siage open her preserver. At length she cried, "Oh, man, I'm a pule Auld body ; I've I:teething in the world, amidst, but my 'ramble' boyne, bat I'll cell it before ye'fl glow unrewarded." Lambert, who was then a working cot ton spinner, de clieed, of come, to de; live the cld women of bet es boyne,"aed, slipping a small sum into her hand, told her to purchase a little comfort far her exhausted body. Wo give this simply as en instance of our hero's actioas. To enumerate all his doings in that way, however, would occupy too much of our specs and of the reader's patience. Seifice it to say, thst spring, summer, and autumn, James Lambert was ever ready to lend his servlCti to those who were perishing; and we know that on more then one occasion he even west under the ice, with a rope tied rotted his body, to dreg out a drowning fellow creature. The great event of his life, however, occurred on the evening of the 14th December, 1931. On that evening, about half rest sever, the ferry host which then conveyed the mill-workers c f Messrs. Somerville and Co. from the null to the north side of the river, opposite the Humane S.cle ty H ruse, was overcrowded. No few than 20 per ons, most :y females, were crammed into the boat, when another party stepped on the guawh•le. The consequence was that the boat was overturned, and its un fortunate mutants were plunged screaming into the cold and turbid water. Lambert fortunately happened to be in the boat at the time. At once be dregged two or three of the females ashore. Awaits he plunged in end rescued ma. other couple of the poor girls, sad landed them in safety; and still again and again he pine ged into the icy water on his mission cf mercy, until at lergth be was fairly eahausted, and fell almost fainting on the bank. Oily three of the 01s, namely, Jean and Martha Hart (two sisters) and Anne Whitelaw, were drowned. Twenty-five individuals were sutmerged on that dreary winter night, and pricci pally owing to the efforts of Lambert rnly three were loet. Said we not truly that hr was a hero—ay, roe it the noblest stamp ? And stan iy well is Le entitled to the respect and gratitude of his tellue•ciuoene. Some twenty-five vets have elapsed since that night, and the memory cf ill he re hoe—unless, perhaps, in same few minds—passed away. James Lambert is, however, still alive. Hie residence is in Main-street, Bridgeton. In the course of the intervening period he has unfortunately been deprived of his sight, and what a mielortuDe that is to • poor working man say one may conceive. lie ir, of course, nable to do anything ter his own supper•, or for that of his wife and children. He is, indeed, in a great measures dependent on their effort* for a scanty livelihood. Under these circumstance., we evilly think that James Lambert has a decided claim upon the geeerosity of his fellow-townsmen. He is now waxing old, and we think it will ►e a disgrace to the city if mach a man is parenitted to go down the bill amidst the evils of extreme poverty and want. There is no lade of charity in felsegow, no detidlency in the appreciation of genuine heroism, and we feel persuaded that hie cue only requires to he km own to bring forth • hane some re cognition of his past service,. In conclusion, we may mention a little aDecdo'e of Mr. Lambert, which tends to show that the ancient spirit is not dead in the swimmer of other day,. During one day last summer, as is his wont, he was taking • walk toussd the Green, under the guidance of a little daughter. eVnen he was passing t►e "Dominie's Hole," a cry was raised that a boy wasorowutng. Lambert heard the cry, and, blind as he was, he became excited, commenced throwing off his clothes, and, to the consternation of his guide, was preparing to kap into the water with the iatention of eelpieg the drovrniug boy. " Tel pie where he ill !" be exclaimed ; " tell me where he iv, and I'll do my lust !" The screams of the little girl attracted the attention of the passers-by, and by main force they restrained him trout the rash purpose which he contemplated. The boy wee drowned ; but if it had pleased Providence to spare the sight of James Lam bert it would assuredly have been otherwise. Let us give honour, titer, to whim Limiter is due, and extend a helping hand to the poor man in his darkness, who, if be had Doan blessed w th sight, would have cheerfully assisted any one of us, if the water hat been gathering over us. M • have recently been giving hocoar to those who have dared a bloody death on the lieu] of war; let us cot forget those who hey. shown equal h .7,cm a less conepicuoue, but not Ins honoturable field.—Glasereer Bubetirs. r 7 / 1 1 i'
