By JOHN Ruston, M.A., with Illus trations drawn by the Author. Smith, Elder, and Co. The public estimation of Mr. Ruskin as a teacher and prophet in art—certainly when we look at his comparatively recent appearance as an author—has changed with a frequency unusual in the case of welters of such undoubted and original genius. The first volumes of " Modern Landscape Painters" at once placed the "Oxford Graduate"—even in the es timation of many who denied his premises, derided his standard of excellence, and indignantly repo.' dieted his denunciations--very high among the arta critics of recent times. The sweeping censures of nun ' looked up to for centuries with reverence, the ' withering criticisms on Gaspar, &hater, Claude— ' the setting up (how humiliating the idea) in place of innumerable deities of one sines deity, still living among men the promul gation of strange canons, all were insufficient, except in the most prejudiced minds, to weigh against the earns* devout, life-long study, the ii.s.ig.. th•=nemilWaViiLhe, thorough adt s T i t n iViraNe f li s elt b ; .1 uxhlbited in Mr. Ruskin's earliest work. But while artists—veterans as well as noviees— collecting after a while their scattered senses—bent reluctantly, but sincerely, to the inquiry whether these things could really be—while earnest amateurs noted formsof cloud, depths of shadows, rules of re flections, and the sway of boughs—the a of the " Seven Lamps of Architecture," ollowed by that of the "Stones of Venice," showed that Mr. Raskin had by no means confined his studies, nor was disposed to restrict his reforms, to landscape art only. In enthusiastic love of subject, in vigour and independence of thought, in ease and purity of lan guage, and in passages of astonishing eloquence, the two last-named works certainly equalled, even it they did not sursur pass " Modern Painters," yet, that they did not increase, nay, that they greatly weakened, the faith of many of the authors con verts in his infallibility as • guide, cannot well bet doubted. The pamphlet on the recent schism in art and on the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood—even admitting, as admit we must, that the author has in some points modified, in others altogether changed, his earlier opinions—cannot but be regarded as an eloquent defence and an able exposition of the some what hastily condemned views of the nonconformist painters. But whether this be granted or not, to this pamphlet must certainly be traced the present widely-extending interest in the new school of art. On the other hand, the annual brochure whicleMr. Ruskin puts forth on the opening of the Exhibition of the Royal Academy must unquestionably be' ranked as an unpopular one. Lastly, the power, originality, and fervour of the " Oxford Graduate," reappear in the 3rd and 4th volumes of his first work. Mr. Ruskin has now gratified a desire which has for some time been felt by all who take the least ' interest in his writings. In his former works (we are speaking now of those which treat of painting) 1 he has laboured to show what is wrong in the pre sent modes of studying nature and judi;ing of art— to point out how things should not be done. A very I natural curiosity has long existed to hear how things I should be done, to know how Mr. Ruskin proposes to teach and to train. Ile has replied to the call in, as we think, no uneatisfactory manner, and in the little volume before us has laid down some very sound rules and some very practical instructions—the latter, it should be observed, being confined for the present to studies in light and shade, and in the use of the water-colour brush. In an admirable Preface Mr. Ruskin touches on a point of no little interest to the parents of children displaying precocious talent for art ; and his remarks are well deserving a perusal : In the Hen place the book ii not calculated for the sae of children under the age of twelve rIC fourteen. Ido not think it advisable to engage a child in any but the moat voluntary pectic* of art. If it km talent for drawing, it will be con- Ily scrawling on what paper it can get; and should be Rowed to scrawl at ice own free will, due praise being given brit every appareling , e of care, or truth, in its efforts. It ilwald be allowed to amine itself with cheep colours almost la soon as it has tense enough to wish for them. If it lamb daub, the paper with shop:lces Mains, the colour-box mb a s taken away till it knows. better . but as soon as it painting red coats on twitcher*, rosined lege to ahipe, Ate, It should have colours at conimand ; and, without re straining its choice of subject in that ininginative and his torical art, of a military tendency, which children delight in, (generally quite as valuable,' by the way, as any hieterica) art delighted in by their elders), it should be gently led by the parents to try to draw, in such childish fashion as may be, the things it can see end likes—birds, or butterflies, or flower*, or fruit. In later years, the indulgence of using the colour should only be granted as a meant, after 4the shown care and progress in its drawings with pencil. Annexed to such advice the following directions are not out of place : It it, • general truth that the enjoyment derived from art cannot be increased in quantity, beyond a certain palat e by quantity of possession ; it in only moved, in it were, wear a larger inrface, and verry often dulled by finding ideas i n diff e rent words. Now, far a beginner, it is alway l aV i rT that his attention should be concentrated on one or ten god things, and all hie enjoyment founded on theni, then that be should look at ninny, with divided thoughts. He hart sash to discover; and his best way of discovering it in to thlnk long over few thing., and watch then, earnestly. It isms at the went errors of this age to try to know and to see Ise moth: the seen who seem to know everything never la reality know anything rightly. Beware of hand-bookknow ledge. Following the usual practice of such writers, our author does not omit to encourage the timid and the diffident. Here are full and ample instructions: As eon as you find that your liandobeys you thoroughly, and that you ran render any furni with a firmness and truth approaching that of Turner's or Humes work, you met add a simple but equally careful light and elude to your pen drawing, so as to make each study a. complete as possible; fer which you mum prepare yourself then. OM, if you have the memo, a good impreerion of one plate of Turner's Libor &winnow If you cannot obtain, or even borrow for • little while, any of the engraving., you Ilion use a photo- graph instead (bow, I will tell you prudently) ; but, if yea can get the Turner , It will be bent. You will see that it is 4...nit:coned of a firm etching in line, with messotint shadow kid over it. You must first espy the etched put of it awns rately ; to which cud put the print against the window, sad Owe newly with the greatest tore every black line; retrace thin on suioathdrewing-paecr ; and, finally, go over the whole with your pen, looking at the original plate always, so that if you err at all, it meet be on the nght aide, nut making • line which la too curved or too straight already in the tracing, more curved or noire Mraight, as you gee over it. And in doing this, never work after you are tired, nor to " get the thing done," for if it is badly done, it will be of no use to you. The true seal and patience of a quarter of an hour are better than the sulky end inattentive labour of a whole day. If you have not made the touchen right at the first going over with the pan, retouch them delicately, with little ink in your pen, thickening or reinforcing them as they need, you can not give too much care to the facsimile. Then keep this etched outline by you, In order to study at your ease the way in which Turner uses hie line as preparatory to the subse quent shadow; it is only in getting the two separate that you will be able to reason on this. Next, copy once more, though for the fourth thee, any part of this etching which you like, and put on the light and slide with the brush, and thy brown colour that pinches that of the plate; working it with the point of the brush as delieately as If you were drawing it with pencil, and dotting and creeoleat_o_hizut Nightly se you ma touch the paper, nil you get the of Turner s engraving. In ibis exercise, as Is & for . 7" e er one, a quarter of an Inch winked to close renoublanee of the copy is worth more than the whole subject carelessly done.

Walk tow toocutotood to our reader. a careful wood of Mr. Ruskin's " Elements of Drawing," amanot refrain from pointing out that in a slight Ismisocy to paradox. and in occasional inconsis it does not differ from those which have pre ostkdit. Can Mr. Ruskin be serious in the follow ing advice, given in the Letter on " Sketching from Nature ?" Do not draw things that you love, on account of their associations; or at leant do not draw them because you love them , but tartly when you cannot get anything else to draw, If you try to draw places that you love, you are sure to be always entangled amongst seat brick walls, iron rail ravel walks, greenhouses, and •,quickeet hedges ; be sidesthat you will be conUanally led into some endeavour to make your drawing pretty, or complete, which will be fatal to your progress. You need wee hops to get on If you are Ands* makes *at the &mime you are actually at work upon should look eke when ft is die. Mt yea ban to I*W about is to make It right, and to leers as much In doing it as powible. Bo then, though when you an sitting in your friend's parlour, or in your own, and have nothing else to do, you may draw anything that is there, for practice; even the fire-irons or the pattern on the carpet Ito sure that it Is for practice, end net because It is a beloved carpet, nor a friendly Om and tongs, nor because you wish to please your friend by drawing her room. And does the note at p. 208, where he speaks of the colours which may at once be safely entrusted to the student, quite accord with the financial proposal which he makes at p. 224? To those who look into the book simply for amusement, without the slightest knowledge of art or desire for instruction (and Mr. Ruskin has many much readers), the Appendix, devoted to "Things to be studied," will be perhaps the most interesting portion of the volume. Mere is to be found Rua kiniam in its entirety—most eloquent, moot clever, often most wrong-headed, and always most dog matic. The exposition of art doctrine is admirable, almost Carlyleian, in the quaintness and terseness of its style, and the sharp antitheses with which it abounds; but when Mr. Ruskin touches on litera ture, proclaims Mrs. Browning's "Aurora Leigh" the greatest poem which the century has produced in any language, begs us, amongst others, to "keep to Coventry I'atmore," tells us to " cast Coleridge at once aside as sickly and useless, and Shelley as shal low and verbose," and, treating of works of fiction, recommends us to make " Sir Charles Orandison" our constant companion, we feel inclined to remind this " OxfordOrselnate" of a certain cobbler who pub lished his "Notes" upon a certain picture, and to advise 'Mears. Smith and Elder to whisper " Kr sailor," tt:c. gently into the great art-critic's ear. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNEsoAT,JuLT 16. (Continued from yesterday's Exprese.)

Mr. Slade then proceeded to up the evidence on the part of the sitting member, contending that tho petitioners had entirely foiled in making out any case against the sitting member, and that the committee ought to declare Mr. iteup4 duly elected.

THE DRAMA. HAYNIARKET. IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE LATE MR. DOUGLAS JERROLD. Last night two of the late Mr. Jerrold's most suc cessful plays, The Housekeeper and The Prisoner of War, were acted at the Haymarket Theatre, in aid of the provision about to he made for hie family. The Housekeeper was first performed at this same theatre on July 17, 1833; conse quently to-morrow will be the twenty-fourth anniversary of its production; and though it cannot be looked upon as a Rock piece, it is often revived with stream—the last occa sion being during the engagement of Mr. and Mm. C. Kean, by whom the two principal characters were personated. Last night the only two of the original cad were Mr. Webster and Mr. Ducketone , the former of whom played the Jesuit, Father Oliver, with that placidity of countenance and sabre hypocritical expression which have since stood him In each stead in Tartufe, &c., while the latter endowed the cam try boy with that simpering stolidity which never fails of Its attraction over the risible muscles of the audience. They were ably aided by Miss Reynolds, Miss Wilton, Mr. Howe, and Mr. Ferran. The Prisoner of War, first performed at Drury-lane la Feb., 11142, is necessarily much fresher in the recollection of play pen, and the veriest dramatic tyro has heard of Mr. Phelps'. tine manly delineation of Captain Channel), of Mn. Keeley's Adding of her love-letter, and of her husband's hatred of the French, and determination, as a fine act of patriotism, to trump every statement of a foreigner. It will suffice there fore to say, that each of the three characters was net night filled by its original representative, that the whole evening passed of without the slightest hitch, and that each favourite was received and constantly encouraged with the hairnet applause from a crowded house. After Thu Housekeeper the following " Occasional Ad dream," written by Mr. S. Lucas, was spoken by Mr. Phelps: Welcome in Jerrold's name! From Jerreld'e tomb This greeting chases half the gathering gloom, And turns our sorrow for his mortal part To joy and pride in hie immortal art. If of this art, enduring at its prime, We gather salvage from the wrecks of time, You, mindful of the storms and etruggles pad, Receive and welcome it to shore at het. True to yourselves, end to each other truo— In honouring one who greatly honoured you, Behind this curtain you can greet at will Hie genius living and triumphant still. There waits the actor—there the scene is set, And there the author's thought is pregnant yet ; There the light offspring, of his fancy sprung, Betray their parent by their English tongue, Reflect hi, nerve humour in their part, Or draw their pathos from Lin manly heart. As 'teas of old, iu Englend's classic age, His own creations amply till our stage. Their's in the savour and the zest we crave, Surging and sparkling like a Channel wave, With salt that had b(*11 Attic, but the Nine Svep'd them in English and a stronger brine. Forgetful of their elate here kings may oil, Subjects themeelves to hie imperial sat— Wit that flows on regardless—free as air, Like the rough waters around Canute's chair. You huiebler men, who come to see the play, And cheer the playwright, carry this away— The man wir still more worthy of regard, And—though he smote the Philistines so herd, He fought a fide, a brave and generous fight, And struck in honour's name for ruth and right : —llopelem of cries or riliand—taking hoed Leas for his fortunes than the common need — So—for his genden and the common mum, 110 you now crown Lis with your just applause. AIR. WIGAN'S FAREWELL BENEFIT. The following noblemen and gentlemen anxious to teetify their edema for Mr. Wigan an a wen, their admi ration of him as an artist, and their sympathy with Lim under bin prevent painful illus., have formed themselves into • committee for the purpose of relieving him from the trouble of organising his farewell benefit, by taking that work upon themeolves. Thinking the Olympic Theatre too small to ac comutolate the numbers which they feel assured will be anx ious to do honour to Mr. Wigan on this occasion. the com mittee attempted, but in vain, to obtain the use of a larger theatre. Compelled toabandon the arrangements which the commend of such • theatre would have enabled them to make, they have no alternative but to announce that Mr. NVigun's farewell benefit will take place on Friday, the 24th instant. Programmes of the evenings arrangements will shortly be issued. The committee conelets of the following gentlemen:—The Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Clanric•rde, the Marquis of Stafford, the Earl of Airlie, the Earl of Durham, Vieeount Elcbo, Viscount Goderieh, Lord Ward, Lord Duthrin, Baron Marochetti, Sir A.

The celebrated prima donna of the Open Comique, new on a visit to this country, had a concert yesterday mom ing, at the Dudley Gallery, in the Egyptian-hall, with the permiasion of Lord Ward, and under the patronage of the French Ambassador and the Countess de I'ereigay. Thiel gallery . is certainly the pleasantest concert-nem in London, for it gives pleasure at once to the eye and the ear. You can enjoy the lamina of music while you gore on the fine works of art which cover the walls. Madame I:galde in well known to all who have any acquaintance with the French musical stage. She has been fur many years the idol of the Parisian public, and been called "le romignol de l'Opt , ra Comiire," a pet name very deserv• edly bestowed. The Opim Comique be* always been her greet field of triumph, and it is not easy to form an idea of her unless in connexion with it. She is very pretty, very lively, very piquante, and very French ;—French as a singer not leas than no an actress. Even the French singing vui* Ilea a quality or timsre of its own, as different from that of the Italian video as the tone of the Mite from that of the oboe. Madame Ugeilde'e voice in recognised as French the moment she opens her lips. Its tones are clear, light, end flexible, delightfully culled to the gay, airy music of the French comic opera ; while her rich agcy and unbounded power. of execution enable her to in dulge in every variety of brilliant embellishment. But all three vocal accomplishment. are subsidiary to her gifts as an entices, and enhance tenfold the effect of her livelineas, nnivive, and plajful archness on the stage. The English public, hearing her only in the concert room, can toms but an imperfect estimate of her powers; and we have often re gretted that she never appeared among us as a bright parti cular star, while Mr. Mitchell was giving his delightful French comic operas at the St. James a Theatre. At the concert yesterday, Madame Vgalde sang leveret piece., both of the French and Italian schools; all very charmingly; but she was of course moat successful on her own ground. Her two romanoce from Ambridge Thomas's operas, Psyche and I.e Cud. were delightful reminiscence* of the Opera Comique. Nothing could exceed the animation, refinement, and finiah of style and execution with which they were sung. She was moat warmly applauded, and her whole reception wan such as was due to her merits and reputation. The in other reelects, was very agreeable. Fa vourite airs and duets were sung by Signor Subse Herr Reichardt, and M. Julie Lefort. Signor Batmen played a brilliant role, d la raganini, on the violin; and Mdlle. Coulon displayed considerable execution in a fantasia on the pianoforte. It is scarcely necessary to add that the gallery ma tilled by a most fashionable weemblage. SOUTRAVARK LITE:BART INSTITUTION.—A public dinner in aid of the funds of this institution took place at the Bridge•house Hotel, London.bridge, lag evening. Sir Charles Napier, M.P., presided, and was supported by Mr. John Locke, M.P., Meters. Cumbe, Vickers, G. It. Darling, T. Martin, J. Chitllicott, J. Adderley, and many other friends of the gallant admiral. The usual loyal toasts having been given, Sir Charles Napier proposed " Prosperity to the Institution," and in doing so expressed his opinion that these institution], had done great service to the work ing classes. Mr. Vickers proposed, " The Health of the Members foe the County and Ear ugh and the Houses of Parliament," to which Mr. Locks responded. Mr. Edward Evans addressed the meeting on the general prospects of the society, and made an appeal for a more liberal support than had hitherto been given to it. The eubeeriptions in the amnia of the evening amounted to 1001. The company re tired with a determination very generally expressed to infuse greater energy in the management of the institution. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. We understand that the soundings obtained by her Majesty's steamer Cyclops, which has been engaged in checking for the Atlantic Telegraph Company the Bounding, taken by the United States steamier Arctic, are very satis factory, bottom having been found all the way across the Atlantic, and for the greater part of the distance composed of gun sand and small shells near this coast email pebbles were found mixed with the sand. The greatest depth sounded was about 21 miles. Captain Daymen has some inten tion of looking into Trinity Say, but wu undero and ho is expected in Queenstown by a certain date, and is fearful of losing too much time by making the trip thither. In the Express of the 7th instant, we gave an account of the manufacture and the shippieg on board the Agamemnon at Greenwich, of a portion of the submarine etwhich is to unite this country with America in tele graphic communication. The other half of the cable, 1,2.50 miles in length, which Means. Newel and Co. contracted to supply, has already been completed, and is in coarse of delivery on board the Nugent, at Birkenhead. The Niagara is a screw steamer of 5,200 tons, pierced for twelve 11-mch gene, belonging to the United States navy, and is under the command of Captain Hudson, an officer of considerable ex perience, basing been attached to the service an far back as 1812, and having taken part in the Pacific Exploring Expe dition. The Niagara is 345 feet in length, by 56 feet with engines of 1,000 horse power, ands the largest b y= afloat in the world. tier Acres. is a Grifeth's propeller. flha is sthelseed in the Meracy, to take on board the ebb. snit breath having prevented her from baigVsled bar Illebunined. The inner gates of the dock at Iffirkeelesed would Ism been quite large enough ; but, un istunately, the outer gates, which are 20 feet less than the Inner, are only 50 feet wide. The Niagara hes now bees re ceiving the cable for upwards of a fortnight, and it is being celled on board at the rate of sixty miles per day. Up to Tuesday evening about 800 mile. Dad been ahipped, so that the whole of it will have been stowed on board in the coarse of a few days front the present date. In order to make rem In, the immense coils in which the cable is deposited in the vessel, the forehold of the Niagara hes been cleared of the chain lockers, coal bunkers, and tanks, and fitted with • level floor over the kelson, the beans having each been trussed with double stays, to compentste fur the removal of Ile stanchions. Part of the cable is also being stowed in • space which has been cleared out on the main deck, abaft the engine -room, by displacing some of the officers' berths and enctoaching on the ward room. Three smaller revels, of 500 tons each, the Wallace, the Ellen, and the Perthshire, convey the culla from the works of Messrs. Newell and Cu., at Birkenhead, to the frigate in the Sloyne, and two of these craft went lying along side the Niagara, one on either side, on Tuesday, and seen at a little distance, from the river, served to bring out the Teatime of her dimensions moat completely. The cable, of the manufacture of which a very minute description was given in the article above referred to. has • thick coating of pitch and tar upon it, and the docks on which the cable rests, have been covered with sheet lead to prevent the tar, which accumulates at the bottom of the roil, from soaking through and saturating the timbers. The weight of the portion on board the Niagara will be about 1,200 tons. The process , of coiling is one which seems to pose= great interest in the neighbourhood, and steamers from Liverpool are constantly conveying visitors to the Niagara, whom Captain Hudson courteously allows to ta mped the work. Among the vnitors on Tuesday were Ste William Cubitt, and Mr. Wm. Fairbairn, of Manchester. The coiling on board in under the superintendence of Mr. Wondhome, C.E., who took part in laying down the Varna and Hilaire& telegraph, and this gentleman will accompany Mr. C. Bright (who is the engineertin-chief to the company, and was one of the original projectors of the submarine line IC7o6llthe Atlentir) in the Niagara. to assist in laying down the half of the cable stretching from the middle of the Atlantic to the American shore. Three two gentlemen will have to take alternate watch in the Niagara of the paying out of the cable during the progress of the work ; and Mr. Canning, who laid the line lICTOeB the Gulf of the St. Law rence, last year, with Mr. Webb, who has been engaged for some years in laying down and raising the cables between Orfordnees and the Hague, will take the some charge on board the Agamemnon. The machinery for paying out the cable has been made with greet prompt tulle, by Mesas. C. De Bergue and Co., of Manchester. The operations at Greenwich, at we have before stated in the Express, have been assisted by two of the ablest electricians of the. day, Dr. Whitehouse and Professor Morse. The two vessele, the Agamemnon and the Niagara, rail about the 26th inst., and are to le joined by her tlejesty's frigate Leopard and the United States frigate Susquehanna. Thee, are paddle-wheel atenntera of considerable power, and are intended to pilot and mare the ether vesele when neces sary. The four meaniers are to rendezvous in Cork harbour, and will probably rail together f thence about the let August. Their first destination will be let. 52 deg. 4 min. N., and long. 32 deg. 32 Mill., or the central point of the are of the great circle between Valenti& Harbour end Trinity Bay. Having welted here for favourable weather, aboula the &meets not be peopitious to the design on their arrival, • " silica" will be effected between the half of the tele graphic cable on board the Agamemnon and the half on thud the Niagara, and they will part company--the Niagara and Suaquehanna sailing weatwsrd, for frinity Bay, New foundland, distant 900 to 1,000 milts ; and the Agamemnon and Leopard returnine eastward, paying out their portion of the cable until they make Valentie Harbour, on the coast of Ireland. The arc of the circle thee indicated is 1,834 miles in length, so that could each vccoel steer an exact course to it. destination, not subject to the errors of the magnetic needle or the disturbing influence of oceanic currents, each would have to pay out 917 miles of cable, but as that is impoeeible, each vessel has been sup plied with • surplus length of about 300 mites, to meet all emergencies. Supposing that each vend' should be able to pay out the cable at the rate of about five knots per hour, or 120 per day, it will thus be seen that the operation of dropping the great international link be tween this country and the United States will have been completed in eight Jaye from the time the "splice" is effected in mid-ocean and the vowels part company. The outer coating of the greater part of the elide contests of • mil of 18 strands of seven•thre td iron wire, as a protec tion to the gutta perch& cla, containing the telegraphic wine, from friction or other injury until it has been safely deposited on the bed of the deep Atlantic. But those portions of the cable which will have to be joined when the vessels part company may possibly be subjected to an extra strain as the firm unbroken link of it wink., between the sterns of the two vessels to find its ultimate resting place, and to meet this potable contingency ten mike length of this central portion of the cattle has been protected with • sheath of 18 steel, instead of iron, wires, and is suppneed to be capable of eustaising a strain of 12 tons. The machinery made by Messrs. Do Bergen and Co. include, paying-out sheaves or drums of five feet in diameter, having grooves corresponding to the thickness of the cable, with a friction drum attached to them revolving three times as felt se they do, and with brenkage power to check or retard the motion of the sheaves at pleasure. From the hold of each ship the cable, pawing over four of these sheaves to • few feet above the poop deck, will be dropped into the sea over a fifth eheave, placed above the stern. The exact amount of strain will be constantly in dicated by an instrument for the purpose under the eye of the brakeman. At the aides of the vowel will Meng down into the water new electrical logs, principally due to the in genuity of Mr. Charles Bright, the Atlantic Company's chief engineer. These immersed loge have vanes and wheels revolving at a rate proportioned to the pot t age of the ship through the water, and making an electric circuit which is broken at each revolution. An electric wire, from the lug to the deck, records there every revolution of the log, and consequently the exact speed of the ship. It tenet not be supased when the ships part company that com munication will hist between thole on board the eased.. The electricians hare hold of either extremity of the culla of the cable, and will interchange eignals constantly, so that each yeast will be mutter of the other', fate, and of every incident that may help or retard the propene of eubmersion, unless some unfortunate emergency should ramp the link. When the termed. of the chips here suck beneath the horizon, and they are lost to view by the look-out •men, the inter-oceanic current of electricity will give instant record of all that theme until the lengthening line of cable hoe been spun out from shore to shore. A bell on board each vessel will sound every second as each portion of the cable is payed out, and its silence will probably be the first indication of any ruiehap arieing frosn friction or over tension of the cable, and the verde will have apparatus on board, so that in any such emergencies they can be backed, the cable recoiled until the faulty place is found, when a piece will be cut out and the perfect portions reunited with as little delay as peeible. In case of a storm, apparatus has been provided to allow for any extraordinary strain that may occur, and, if necessary, for cutting the collo without let ting the outer end of it clip to the bottom of the meth, whence it might neverbe recovered. In such en emergency there are large reels of auxiliary cable of great strength, which could be attached to the end ; and these auxiliary cables can be suspended from Inge tloatethaped buoys on the martens of the water, capable of resisting a very considerable 'nein till all danger he. passed. The month of August has been chosen for the submersion of the cable as likely to afford the beet conditions for the en terprise in regard to weather. The three great obstacles most tope feared in such awork were fogs, floating kw, end storms. There. the greatest freedom from fogs in winter, from storms in June, and from lee in August, and upon consulting Limit. Maury, from the 20th of July to the 12th of August has been fixed upon an the most favourable period for the undertaking. It may therefore be confidently anti cipated that the result of this great enterprise, to which every one must heartily wish complete success, will be known to the world by about the 10th of next month, or . possibly at an earlierdate. The spirit with which Lancaelurc entered into the project which is being so rapidly put into exeetttion is indicated in the fact that 150,0001, of the cap ital has been subscribed in that county.
