DERRY V. DFART AND LAWRENCE. Nether of the respondents appeared, and the jury was merely sworn to assess damages, which were laid at 2001. The marriage took place in March, 1859, the petitioner being a baker in Judd-street, St. Pancras. The co.reepoo dent, who was a milliner and draper in Chapel-street, Somers-town, soon afterwards became intimate with the family, and the respondent's sister subsequently taking • situation as hie housekeeper, Mrs. Derry had many opportunities of visiting him under pretence of goirg to see her sister. In March last the respondent eloped from her husband's house altogether; and the 00-respondent furnished lodgings io which he cohabited with her. As fo wled the terms on which she had lived with the peti tioner, • charwoman said she had complained to her that she was very unhappy ; that her husbaod bad deceived her as to two children which he bad had by • former marriage ; that he was mean, and that she did not see life enough with him. She also stated that she loved Lawrence's little finger better than the whole of her husband's body. The jury found • verdict for 2501. This being more than the amount claimed it was reduced to the 2001. The court made a decree nisi, with oats. doubts whether any message was really sent. Four hundred might be seen at the office, and among them were the mes sages exchanged between her Majesty and the President of the United States, and the announcement of the new treaty with China. I o another case a message from India saved the country upwards of 50,0001. The cable was laid in haste ; it was ill-constructed, without any blame being attributable to the manufacturers; it was abused, it was injured ; and the wonder was, not that it stopped speaking, but that it ever spoke at aIL (Hear, hear.) The company was not well served by persons in whom it placed confidence. As regarded the future all scientific men were agreed as to the feasibility of the scheme—among them was Mr. Fairbairo, the late President of the British Association. He then cited a letter from Mr. Fairbeirn which stated that he had every confidence in the result of laying a new cable provided the insulation were complete before the cable was submerged. The insulation with the improved cable of Messrs. Glasse and Elliott was such that under a pressure of 20,000 tons the pressure did not amount to more than .40. Professor Wheatstone and Professor Thompson, and every other scientific man of eminence who had attended to the subject, agreed with Mr. Fairbairn on this point. Last year the directors applied to the government to send out two surveying expeditions, one off the coast, the other in the vicinity of Newfoundland. The Duke of Somerset readily assented, and the result was meet favourable. About 400 miles from the coast of Ireland there was a descent of front about 350 fathoms to about 1,750 fathoms. The no tion had prevailed that there was there • sudden pre cipice, but it had now proved totally unfounded. He then reed a letter from Captain Hoskins, who com manded the government expedition near the Irish coast, to the effect that the descent was very gradual, the least dip being 6in 100, and the greatest 19 in 100. Captaim Hoskins said that below 60 or 70 fathoms the sea was per. feetly tranquil ; and that he believed the cable would lie at the bottom of the ocean as calmly an it would lie on the floor of • room. It had also been as certained that there was a channel four or five miles broad from Trinity Bay to New Perlicso. The lines of Europe and America were vastly extending ; and such was the speed now attained that • message was recently sent from New York to San Francisco, and the anewerreceived in New York within two hours and • half. The capital required would be about 600,0C3/. The directors proposed to issue preferential shares of 51. each. It was proposed that after 8 per cent. the next 4 per cent earned should be appropriated to the old shareholders, and that all above 12 per cent, should be divided between the old and the new shares. The following gentlemen had .xmaented to act as directors, viz. : Mr. William Brown, of Liverpool ; Mr. Cropper, formerly of the firm of Cropper and Benson, Liverpool; Mr. Bidder ; and the Hon. Robert GAM stone chairman of the International Telegraph Company. The Old shareholders should now endeavour to save their property from destruction. Within three days 75,000/. had, 30 response to cinclart, been subscribed for. He con cluded by proposing a resolution for the raising of shares of .1/. each, U. being parable on allotment, for the laying down of • new cable.

We are informed that the next French steamer for the East, to leave Marseilles on the 19th inst., is not likely to take any specie on English account, and only a very small amount on French account, although it has been stated in print that about 1,000,0001. sterling will be despatched by that opportunity. The next Peninsular and Oriental steamer from Marseilles for Bombay will take, it is believed, about 200,0001. The Secretary of State for India in Council has announced that until farther notice tenders will be received on the Ist and 3rd Wednesdays in each month, commencing with the 7th of January, for government bills on India to the increased amount of Re. 1,00,00,000 (or say 1,000,0001. sterling) in each month. _ _ _ _ .

Vice-Chancellor Wood gave his decision yesterday in the case of Messrs. Gladstone, Russell Ellice, and Rodocanachi v. the Turkish Ambassador. The plaintiffs are the claimants of the lapsed concession for a Bank of Turkey. The Vioe-Chancellor held that the Turkish Ambassador is nut amenable to the jurisdiction of the court, and dismissed the motion for an injunction as against him with costs, but as the Turkish bonds, which represented the caution money of 20,005/., were deposited in the Bank of England, the plaintiffs, upon an exparte statement (to which no reply could be given, on account of the ruling of the court already referred to), moved for an injunction to prevent the Bank from parting with the custody of the bonds until further order, and this the Vice-Chancellor granted. It will thus be seen that the decision now given does not really decide any question as to the right of the Turkish Government to confiscate the caution money, or in fact any question whatever between the claimants and the Ottoman Porte in reference to the validity of the concession for the defunct Bank of Turkey. Still less do to-day's proceedings affect in any way the influential combination which has undertaken, and which can alone carry out, a National Bank of Turkey. The Atlantic Telegraph Company have held an important meeting to-day, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of explaining to the shareholders the means that are being adopted to raise the new capital, the directors expressing themselves as now determined to carry out the work without delay. The new capital proposed to be raised is 600,0001. in 120,000 shares of Ed. each, with a deposit of 11. per share. The reoeut surveys of the termini of the cable at Valentin and Newfoundland made for the company by government during this season have resulted in removing all doubt or difficulty as to the route to be taken, and as regards the Newfoundland survey, the situation of the now intended terminus in Trinity Bay will be such as, besides other and primary advantages, will save upwards of 40 miles of cable as compared with the previous one. We understand that the present effort is already backed by sub scriptions from some of the most eminent bankers and capitalist' in the City, and that a sanguine ex pectation is entertained that the entire capital will be speedily subscribed.
