THIRD EDITION. FAILURE OF ONE OF THE Al LANTIC CABLES. The following h•tter has this day boon aidretted 11 the chairmen of the Anglo-Lowrie-in Tele graph Company. Sir Richard A. Maw to the , ce retary of the Stock Exchange, London : _ _ " Anglo-American TelegraphC.:Mammy, on " 26, Old Brmd-street, Lond, E.C., " Auguet 3, 1868, 1.34 p.m. 8/OltrfAllY Of TUK STOCK EXCHLNOR, LONDON. • s. !,—The following telegram has this moment I eta I•ceived from Valentia, dated Valentin, : 1866 cable failed.'

TUE ANGLO-AMLRITAN TEL}OIAPU COT/CANT (iimertm). Mr. Drum, and Mr. Lawson appeared for the plaintiff in this butt, which wlti ilOtitUted to prevent the infringement of an alleged patent far " improvements in the mode of genctuting electric currents, manufacturing submarine telegraph cables, and the mode of transmitting signals - which was granted to the plaintiff, Willi am l'eter Pigott, and dated the 3rd of December, 1830, and ailed the court for bare to inspect the mode in which the defendants' cable wit. worked, and signals transmitted along the same, and also the pro.mas by which certain di®_ r 'Mice in transmitting the electric current through the cable were civet-cunt. The plaintiff's cmie was that he had invented a process of making cables which consisted in charging them with electricity, and keeping them in what he called a condi tion of " static charge ; " the signals being produced by drawing off the electric fluid at various points—the system thus being one—as the learned counsel remarked— similar to that which prevails in the Court of Chancery—in Icing a process of "charge and discharge." The provision:4.l specification did not say anything about the "static clutrge ; " and was confined wholly to a cable composed of two or more copper wires as a centre or core, covered with a coating of iron wire. The complete specification, how ever, stated as follows :—" My mode of remedying this defect consists in the novelty of so constructing the cable that it shall at all times retain a static electric charge ; or, in other words, so that a cable, or the wire or wires of a telegraph cable may co-operate as agents with the genernt:ng surface, by which means such cable or wire or wires, will be kept in a constant static condition, and consequently will require but very small power fur the production of the required force." The plaintiff's contention in argument was that his invention lay not in the "construction," but in the particular use of the cable. The defendants denied in fringement, and said that an inspection would reveal to the plaintiff certain trade secrets. Sir B. Palmer, Q.C., Mr. Wickens, and Mr. Theodore Aston, for the defendants, were not heard. The Vice-Chancellor, after observing that inspection, thoml granted more fiequently in equity than at common law. was nevertheless a mutter of discretion, said the plain. firs prorisiinal speci fi cation was for a cable, and nothing n.. , re. Portions of the plaintiff's and of the defendant? Ale had been exhibited, and the difference between them sic. complete. No one could pretend to say that the e. tetruction of the defendants' cable was an infringement of the plaintiff's cable. At the same time his honour did mean to say that the plaintiff's was not a very good Facet. Very possibly it was • but as to the construction acre had been no infringem ent. That being so, and it ing sworn that them were trade secrets which w ould be divulged by the inspection, his honour thought he should committing a grow injustice if he were to accede to the plaintiff's request. The motion must, therefore, be re lobed ; the costs to be costs in the cause. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN HZ EDWARD WINTON. The bankrupt, who was formerly the proprietor of 'Weston's Music Hall, in Holborn, has since carried on Lusinais as a licensed victualler at the Bedford Arms, Croce-street, Camden-town. His preliminary list of creditors returns unsecured debts of 6,0331., and security for the further sum of about 6,00 W. is held in the shape of mortgages upon the Bedford Arms. The failure was ascribed by the bankrupt to pressure by creditors and falling off of business. This was a sitting for examination and discharge, but the statutory accounts had not been filed. Yr. Peverley appeared for the bankrupt. Mr. Bromley, on behalf of the assignees, said that it was proposed to take the case out of court. under the 166th section of the act. A meeting for that purpose would be held on the ith instant, and in the absence of accounts the present sitting must necessarily stand ad journed. Adjourned to the 9th of November. POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.; MARI.I3OItOUGH-STREKT. Mersacenwarty CASE OP ALLEGED CHILD STEALIWG. Chark4 Millar (a German) and Bert ha Mahe, husband and wife, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with unlaw fully detaining a child under 14 years of age, namely, Elisabeth Chard aged 5 years, with intent to deprive the niends of such child, in July, 1884. Frederick Chard, of No. 2, Cross-street, Golden-square, said — l missed my child Elizabeth on the 4th July, 1864, ,• she being then just over Ave years of age. Yesterday terming I went to a place in Bethnal-greon, No. 7, Ban ' doi-row, and saw my child in bed, and directly the child taw me she clung to me. Mr. Tyrwhitt--Wbere did you min the child from P Protecutor—My wife was . with it in a public house, and I have heard that the prisoners were there at the same Ina.

Mr. Tyrwhitt— Old she say nothing when she came home about tle child being lost ? Prosecutor—When she came home she abused me, and said "The child's lust you —; yon don't care anything about it." Frederick Kromloch, a shoemaker, said—l was at Miller's house, in Roy s ton- s t r eet, Bethnal-green, when the child was brought borne by the Millers. I saw the hole girl in bed, and on asking him where he got the th. 1.1 from, he said it was given to him. Mr. Tvrwhitt—Have they any family of their own ?

I asked him if it was his own little girl P 31.- h.', wife brought it home, and that he knew nothing about it. The wife then said, " I brought the lath- gill home, and I was sorry for it three days alter wards." Afterwards she said it was given to her by the to'de r. The prisoners were afterwards given into my custody. The father asked for the beads the child was rwitlg when she was lost, and the child went and got the roods. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was it a tolerably comfortable house ? Coustaide—lt was, and there was no other child there. ,hall appeared to have been well fed and attended Ths' wide prisoner —I went:into the public-hone, and the vote= came in with the child, and the child's mother said my vote could have it, and I went out, and on going Leek to the ulic-house, found my wife Waling to Ms with the c hild, and on my . asking what it was, she wad the child's mother had given it to her. Afterwards looked for the moth. r. but could not find her, and took OA child home: the told said its name was Lizzie. Mr. Tyrwhitt-- It is a case within the act of parliament, and I mint remand the prisoner, but at the same time She mother of the child appears to have been a very "" le' woman , and likely to have given it to anyone.

(sr yr.isolupz.) SHREWSBURY, MOSII/Ir MORNIIII. The trial of Harris for the murder of a ooni mereial traveller named Zueman was resumed this morn ing. Dr. Konenly has remmenced his address to the jury for the prisoner, and indicated that the &donde would rest primarily upon the plea of en alibi. The trial will probably last throughout the day. MURDER OP A MOTHER BY HER RON AND AirIiMPTAD BUIOIDS OF TIM MURDERER. On =Lao:urn.) (mon OWN OWN 00IIREOPONDIOIT.) CORK, MONDAY. Yesterday a young farmer of unsound mind named McCarthy killed his mother by repeated blows with a hatchet. He attempted to murdsr his sister alio, but Elle escaped. Ile then threw himself into tho sea, but was escucd. - - - ----- A PLEASURE VAN UPSET. SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED. Shortly before 11 o'clock on Sunday night an accident occurred in the Clapham-road, between Stock well and the Rise, by which nine persons sustained serious injuries. It appears that a number of persons, in the employment of Mr. Rimmel, perfumer, of the Strand, engaged a van of Mr. Cooper, of Leader-street, Chelsea, for the purpose of a day's excursion. The party, number ing about twenty-five persona, started in the morning from the Black Prince tavern, Chandos-street, Strand, and proceeded to Walton-heath, near Banstead. The re turn journey was performed safely until arriving in the Clapham-road, when, without the slightest warning, one of the fore wheels gave way. This caused the under carriage to sway, and then the van turned over. The screams and cries of the occu pants brought assistance, and eight persons were at once removed to St. Thomas's Hospital. Others less injured were attended by the neighbouring surgeons. The following is the list of those attended at the hospital by Mr. Ridge, the house-surgeon : Martha Buckle, 34, 6, Charlotte-mews, Portland place, severe bruised shoulder; Charles Birkett, aged 15, 3, Brownlow-street, Long Acre, injured legs; Robert Russell, 39, of 34, Upper Marlborough-street, severe wound of face ; Eliza Russell, an infant nine weeks, his daughter, wound of face; Richard Foulkes, 14, of Drury lane, injury to aide; Charlotte Ward, 48, of 2, Hill-street, Wellington-street, Blackfriars-road, severe injury to spine and back ; Charlotte Reales, 59, Charlotte-mews, Portland place, severe injury to head; John Harris, 39, 19, Nelson squ are, Bermondsey, fractured thigh. The last three persons are in a serious condition. A young woman named Lizzie Adams was removed to her home suffer ing from a fractured leg. The majority of those severely injured were on the outside of the van, and the man Russell fell with his child under him. Those inside were greatly braised and shaken, and were with difficulty got out. On examination of the van it seemed that the fore wheel was completely broken up, and it is believed the cause was over dryness of the nave of the wheel. 'THIS 141.4710N4L AIITIELMBY 48SOCLArrox. OPENING OF THE VOLUNTEER ARTILLERY OAIIP AT RHORBURYNESB.-(THIS DAY.) Following closely the meeting of the National Bale Association at Wimbledon comes that of the National Artillery Association at Shoehuryneso This year the meeting opens under exceptionally &rentable circumstances. The prize -list is larger and more valuable, the entries of volunteers from various parts of the country show a marked increase, and the weather promices to be favourable. The chief event of the meeting is the competition for the prizes which her Majesty again offers for competition this year. They consist of ten silver naps, value WO& and they will be contested on Thursday next with 40- pounder Armstrong guns by all detachments passed in Armstrong gun drill by the commandant. The National Rifle Association presents 10 silver cups, value 604 ; besides which there are his Royal Highness the Hines of Wales's prize, value 211. ; his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge's prize of 101. ; the Lords add Commons prize (ten silver cups), value 401. ; Sir 1. Pakington's prize, 201. ; the Earl of Longford's prize, 201. ; the Ramage& prize, 201. ; Major Home's prase, 101. ; the 2nd Middlesex Volunteer Artillery prize, 101. ; and many others of lesser value. A large number of volunteers have already arrived; some of them from Scotland. The force in camp will be under the command of Lieutenant Curtis, of the }loyal Artillery, and will be divided into two brigades, each under a field officer, with one adjutant and one quarter mat-ter. A hospital for sick has alsebeen erected in the grounds. To-morrow the meeting opens with the contest for the silver cups given by the National Rifle Association ; on Wednesday the Lords and Commons, the Earl of Long ford's, the Ramsgate, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge's Prizes will be shot for; on Thursday, her Majesty's Prizes, and the 2nd Middlesex Artillery Prizes; and on Friday the Consolation Prizes. The camp will be broken up on Saturday next. THE ODD FELLOWS PETE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.-(THIS DAY.) For several years past two days in tho month of August have been set apart for fgtes on a large scale at the Crystal Palace in aid of the Widow and Orphan Fund belonging to the London district of the two large friendly societies of England, viz., the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows and the Ancient Order of Foresters. The former now num bers over 400,000 members, and the other follows close in its wake. Owing to the fact, however, that the Foresters number about 00,000 members in London, while the Odd Fellows in this particular district are not much above half that number, the Foresters' Day at the Crystal Palace has always carried off the palm in regard to numbers. The average atten dance has been about 60,000, and on the Odd Fellows' days about 26,000. To-day being Odd Fellows' day great ex ertions have been used to insure a large attendance, and those exertions, combined with the thienessof the weather, promise a large increase to the numbers on the present oc casion. From an early hour this morning the stations of the railways running to the Palace have been crowded with Odd Fellows and their families and Mends, and up to 12 o'clock more than 10,000 persons had been taken down to the Palace. The roads leading to the palace have also been crowded with pleasure vans and other vehicles. The proceedings at the palace open at 1 o'clock with a grand procession on the terraces; after which the varied amusements of the day com mence, including an entertainment by the leading comic singers of the music halls, a balloon ascent by Mr. Coxwell, a display of the fountains, military sports by members of the order belonging to the household regiments, 6cc. Dancing in the grounds and kiss-in-the-ring wore also en tered upon with great vigour, and everything betokens a most successful and agreeable day. THE CAA TERBURY CRICKET WEEK. The Canterbury cricket week commenced to-day under the meet favourable auspices. The weather was clear and beautiful, and the turn-out of spectators and vehicles of all description much larger than has been seen on a first day for many years past. The cricket-ground belonging to the ftt. Lawrence Club has been very effec tively decorated, and flags are floating everywhere. The bands of the cavalry depot and the East Kent Militia lent much animation to the scene —in fact, many go for little else but to hear the strains of these splendid bands. Wickets were pitched about noon for the first match, the return contest between the North and South of the Thames. When our parcel was despatched the teams were warming to their work, and ample promise WM given of splendid play on both aides. The match goes over to-morrow; on Wednesday and Thursday the County of Kent play the Marylebone Club, and on Friday and Saturday I Zingari contend against the Gentlemen of Kent. The whole arrange ments of the committee give promise of a week's real en joyment to all who may be present. We find the following in the Independance Beige of yesterday :—" An old unmarried lady lately died in Brussels. SU played an important part in the De Buck affair. She was a great admirer of the Jesuits. A relative came to the house of the deceased, in the expecta tion of inheriting a large sum of money, as the lady had only inherited it herself a abort time before. Us found nothing. Upon threatening the servant woman, however, he found 16.000 fr. concealed in the mattress. The servant moreover confessed that Father Franqueville, the pro vincial of the order and a friend of William de Boey (another ease), retained a portion of the inheritance. A law suit was instituted. The jugs or/osarsictiers of Brussels sent for Father Franqueville, who, after much hesitation, confessed that he received from the servant 12,000 fr. to say masses for the soul of the deceased. The magistrate ordered the 12,000 fr. to be given up, and they remain at present in his hands." Tni AwrwnitP FLTES.—The statue of the late King Leopold of Belgium was uncovered yesterday at Antwerp, in the midst of great rejoicings and a vast crowd. A speech was delivered by Baron Nottebolm. A cantata expressly composed for the occasion by M. Alphas's Lemaire was ow. The filing past of the Civic Guards occupied an hour and a half. The statue, which is the work of Gees, was covered with flowers, and was exposed to public view amidst loud cries of " /live le roil" STREET TRAMWAYS FOR LIVERPOOL.—The first act of parliament authorising the construction of street tramways on a scale sufficient to test their adaptability for the omnibus traffic of large cities and towns received the Royal assent on Friday last. The act empowers the company to lay down and work a line of tramway running from north to south of the borough of Liverpool, passing through crowded, and in many instances narrow streets, with a loop line in the centre of the town, enabling car riages using the tramway to reach the exchange. The act now pored was the third introduced for the purpose in three successive sessions. The two previous bills were thrown out through the opposition of the omnibus pro- prietors, aided by the London and North Western Rail way. This session the bill passed standing orders, and after a three days fight, before the select committee of the Commons, the preamble was declared proved, subject to the introduction of clauses required by the corporation. The opponents made no attempt to oppose the bill in the Lords beyond a few standing order objections. The cor poration supported the project, many of the leading inha bitants gave evidence in favour of it. Durant:Priori OF CROPS. The protracted drought and the great dryness of the cereal crops has led to some destruction of produce during the past week in the neighbourhood of the Great Eastern and the Great Northern Railways, sparks from passing engines, the fall of which cannot be avoided, causing frequent fires. An nexed are a few instances of damage done in this manner : Rivenhall, Essex, 71 scree of barley burnt ; estimated loss 1361. • Mr. Potter, the owner, insured in the Sun Office, Ar'dleigh, Esse x , farm buildings of Mr. T. Bromley destroyed, estimated lose 2,00 W.; Mr. Bromley insured in the Essex end Suffolk Equitable office. Great Bentley, Essex, four scree of barley burnt ; estimated lota SW. Eadleigh, Suffolk, nine acres of barley burnt on the farm of Mrs. Isaac Strutt. Weldon, Essex, field of barley belonging to Messrs. Clump, destroyed to the extent of acre. Cantley, Norfolk, 40 acres of barley destroyed on the farm of Messrs. E. and T. Gilbert; insured in the London and Liverpool and Globe. Middleettonnn, Norfolkk,, about one acre of wheat entirely destroyed in a field belonging to Mr. Bennington. Weston, Notts, two acres of barley and some stubble consumed on the farm of Mr. Hunt, at Weston. Many other fires have occurred between Weston and Newark, but they have been extin guished without much damage. On Friday afternoon a fire broke out in the rick-yard of Mr. Bray, at Nether avon, and it spread so rapidly that the whole of the ricks were soon in flames, and the fire reached the barn and other outbuildings, from which it extended to some neigh bouring cottages. A fire-engine was obtained, and it was not until half-past 7 o'clock on Saturday morning that the fire was completely subdued. A field of barley ignited and the fire spread rapidly, but the precaution was taken to cut some of the standing barley, and so prevent its ex tension. All the ricks—twoof wheat, three of hey, and one of straw—were entirely destroyed, as were also the outbuildings and four cottages. A few days ago a fire also broke out in • field adjoining the rickyard of Mr. C. Pothecary, at Shipton, by which • rick of straw and two wheat ricks were totally destroyed. The damage done was estimated at from 6001 to 600 f. SIXTEEN FIRM IN LONDON. During the last forty-eight hours no fewer than sixteen fires were attended by the officers and firemen of the Metropolitan Brigade. The moat ,erious were the following :—One fire happened in the premises of Mr. F. Stray, tailor, carrying on ss busine at Noe. 39 and 40, Haymarket. The flames were discovered whilst the inmates were in bed asleep. Fortunately they were all alarmed in time, and were able to effect their escapee; but the fire could not be subdued until one building (No. 39), with the contents, was nearly destroyed, and the adjoining one damaged. A far more extensive fire happened in Burdett-road, Limebouse. It commenced in an unoccupied building of three floors, 61 feet wide and 31 feet deep, belonging to Mr. Dunk, but standing in Dod-street. The flames ex tended with such fury, that in a few minuteethat building presented a large mass of flame, and another one two floors high, 20 feet by 60, shared the same fate, and they were nearly destroyed before the engines arrived. The Burdett Lecture Hall, a building 80 feet long and nearly 60 feet deep, next became ignited. The fire continued to spread, and at one time it was feared that the extensive India robber manufactory of Messrs. An-I dersou and Abbott would have been destroyed, but through the perseverance of the brigade these works were not much damaged. There was, however, a great destruction of property. Another building, No. la, is also extensively burned, and • warehouse of three floors, belonging to Mr. W. V. Green, is damaged by fire and water.

The evidenoe was to the effect that the prisoner had been discharged by Paulton, who is the landlord of the Star Lin in that town, and that after his dismissal he had sent for the female servant in Mr. Paulton's employ, and given to her a quantity of spirits of salts, in a ginger beer bottle, with instructions for her to pour the contents of the bottle into one of the tube of ale in Mr. Paulton's cellar, preparatory to the ale being put into the barrels for consumption. Happily, the girl suspected that something was wrong, although she was not told what was in the bottle. She took it and its contents to her sister, by whom it was submitted to a chemist, who declared it to be the deadly poison we have named. The fact was communicated to Mr. Paulton, and Lewis was arrested. No defence was set up; but an ad journment was asked for, that the man might be taken before the stipendiary of South Staffordshire, by whose warrant Lewis was arrested. The application war con ceded. THE NEW DIVORCE ACT.—On Saturday the new Divorce Act was printed. Appeals to the House of Lords must be within one month, and there is to b 3 no appeal to the Lords in undefended cases for dissolution of marriage without leave of the court. Where there is no appeal the parties may marry again after the pronouncing of the decree absolute. The act has a qualified retrospec tive operation.

GREAT FIRE AT HIIDDERBYLELD.—Last night, shortly before 6 o'clock. a fire broke out in the goods depot of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Ilallwayeampany, at Huddersfield station. The fire made extremely rapid progress, and in about half an hour the roof of the ware. house fell in, and the merchandise in lb interior was completely destroyed, in spite of the efforts of the town firemen, the London and Liverpool and Globe Br ~ gaalde, and other engines which came to the place. The front wall of the warehouse fell outward after the roof had gone, and the air had free access to the burning material, which blazed furiously. The damage done must amount to some thousands of pounds. This is the second time the warehouse has been destroyed, the former time being about April. 1867. The cause of the fire is uuknown.— Afar/cheater Examiner.

There was only moderate supply of new Snag* wheat on sale here to-day, the cooditiou of which was good, the weights averaging from 621bs. to 64105. per bushel. Owing to the appearance of a few north neatly'buyers, there wax rather more firmness in the anrlosf than itn Monday last: nevertheles s , th e d ema nd was very inactive sad the tendency of prices was towards a further reduc tion. Old English wheat was albigether aegleoted, and the quotations are quite nominal. There was a rood show of foreign wheat, die quality rof which we. for the most part good. /Eiders operated very cautiously, however, and last Monday's quotations were with great difficulty radioed. No kkigliah barley wee on sale; but foreign was steady in value for both grinding and distilling qualities. The malt trade was quiet, at unaltered currencies. There was a fair supply on sale. Fine samples of oats were in good demand, at advanced quotations, and inferior parcels were steady in value. Beans wore in request at improving rates. Pesachanged hands at rather more money. Linseed was firmly held for late rates. Rapeseed wits steady. There was rather more doing in English nude, and trefoils and trifolium were again rather dearer. Red clover commanded extreme rates. The flour trade was extremely quiet, and both fOreffill and country marks tended downwards in value. Town made qualities were unaltered. The floating grain cargo trade has ruled extremely intui tive, owing to the depressed state of the home market. 4 few sales of wheat arrived have been reported, but at prices considerably under those lately current.

Holders of the securities of the Indian railway companies are to be congratulated upon the highly satisfactory character of the statements contained in the annual report just issued by Mr. Juland Danvers, the government director of the Indian railways. The facts herein set forth are too in teresting to be passed over without some brief re capitulation. Close upo 4,000 miles of railway have now been opened in T.ndia, at an actual expen diture of 76,071,6661. It is worthy of remark that, of this sum, debentures—of canna, guaranteed--re- present the safe proportion of 16,630,1461. During the past year the expenditure was 7,000,0001., and a proof of the very limited nature of the strain which these works impose upon our home resources is afforded in the fact that of that suns upwards of 4,000,0001. was expended in England for permanent way, materials, locomo tives, stores, sic. sent out from this country. The future expenditu re—and consequently the creation of new guaranteed securities—us to be kept within reasonable bounds, the outlay for the current year being estimated at 5,177,0001. But the government co-operation on behalf of the railways is not limited to the guarantee, the land granted free to the railway companies from the outset being esti mated as worth 2,500,0001. The net receipts in 1867 were rather more than 30,0001. above those of 1866, the past year, owing to the check to trade, not having been a peculiarly favourable one. Mr. Danvers, however, cites the interesting J J lhat;4igia . tlle Indian U liaabiareasedi 4 _ ob n the list ten years from twenty to seventy-fire million s , an d the for interest In proportion, the repayments by the railway weapons, hive become so large that the *lemma by the 'Orerlimeid on this amount anaosnit new to only about the seine sum annually;--qhs, abott7oo,ooo/.--that they did ten years ha se..

ELLIOTOON.—A memoir of the- late Dr. Elliotran appears in the Phet. In the course of it we read :—" During the pester part of his life he wee an unbeliever, and while investigating mernerina messed at the accounts which he heard of spititusliet phenomena. and denounced all mediums as impostors. He also wrote an elaborate treatise denying the existence of an innn word ortal nel ll i and arguing that the Hebrew " translated soul hd no other meaning life.' In the year 1863 he was at Dieppe, and was introduced to Kr. D. D. Home, who told him he had acted wrongly in calling him an impostor when he really knew n ot hing of him. He then= some time in investigating the phenomena of spirit aided by the sons al his friend Dr. Symms. The remit was that he expressed his conviction of the truth of the phenomena, and became a sincere Christian, whose handbook henceforth was his Bible. Some time after this he said he had been living all his life in darkness, and had thought there was nothing in existence but the material ; but he now had a firm hope which he trusted he would hold while cn earth. Though he had amassed a large fortune he was Ai unfortunate as to lose it all in bad speculations, and was latterly indebted for the comforts and even necessaries of life to hie friend Dr. Byrnes, in whose house he livid, or may, as re the last few months, be said simply to hive existerr i be mind and body were reduc t d W elate of second child hood."
