SPORTING DITELLIGENCL A SPECIAL EDITION of the “ EXPREINV esataiaiag the result' of the day's Races, h pub limbed every evening daring the Sportiai Seasea, at el: o'clock. Tux exciting accounts at first circulated rupee!. log the see which the Russian Government is to be allowed to make of the Harbour of %Inerrant* are fast shrinking to more reasonable dimensions. Of tomes it is found that the territorial and military constitu tion of Europe has not been revolutionised by the operation of a commercial agreement ; of coarse Rusin is not thinking of risking munitions and man, sod ships, with • maritime arsenal far from rap port, exposed to the guns of both France and Eng land, and which she could not relieve until she had obtained the command of the Mediterranean. Busks, if stealthy, is still cautious, and Count Csvocra has not forgotten all his international law. Russia," exclaims a fervent contemporary, " hie "established herself within three miles of the French *. territory." Then we may be sure that she moans to be well behaved. The facts, as they reach us from various indepen dent sources, are found to be very much what might have been expected from the well-known exigencies of both Russia and Sardinia. Some of our readers may remember, but most will probably have forgot ten, that very shortly after the signature of the Treaty of Paris which forbade the Black Sea to the belligerent navy of the CZ A 4 we published from the Russian the elaborate scheme of a Steam Shipping Company, a sort of Muscovite Lloyd's, which was to have its seat at Odom, and the Mediterranean and the Equine for the scene of its operations. Rush•, we were thou told, was entering on a new era. Henceforth her Government would foster her peaceful develop ment, and put its trust in railroads and commerce. ' Russian patriotism was otherwise addressed. It woe shown that the extension of commercial relations must have a favourable political effect; that it was im portant that the flag of Russia should be seen often in the South of Europe, and that a large mercantile navy should nourish and train s hardy race of sea men in readiness for better times. These conside rations obtained for the Company the patronage of the CZAR, if indeed the project did not originate with the Court. For a long while nothing has been heard of the scheme; at length, however, the opportunity is thought favourable to bring it forward. Villafranca wee unoccupied and to be obtained. Its harbour is small, too small even to serve as a naval port for Sardinia, bat large enough fora port of repair and outfit for vessels of any kind. The Russian Company obtains the use of the port, with its basins and warehouses, for commercial purpcess, just as a French or English Company might do—by paying for it. It is of course easy to see that the Government of the Wm will draw advantage from the possession of Villafranca by a Russian Company. Its ships of war, remote alike from Cronstadt and Nieolaieg will resort thither fee the conveniences they have hitherto sought in other friendly ports. Russian mem of-war may already victual or repair at Spada, by the customary courtesy of friendly powers. It may be remembered that just before the last war we repaired at Portsmouth a Russian frigate, which a few mouths afterwards we had to chase half round the world. No doubt, then, Animism war ships will visit Villafraaoa, but only while Sardinia gives permission. It is idle to talk of fortifications which Russia might easily make. Bar dials does not want to fortify the place, and the Russian Company is merely a tenant, with such rights as subjects may exercise. If Villa/um ever becomes • Malta or Corfu, as a oontemparary suggests, Sardinia must make it so, and we It with the responsibilities of a Power relying on form as a means of external influence. On this heal the evidence of our correspondent at Tessin, whose aocarsoy of information in all that relates to the policy of the Sardinian Government has so often been proved, is direct. He tells as that for military purposes the " Sardinian Government " has Teri: wed to sell VilLafranca, refused to let, " refoaed any kind of engagement that might 6 seem to involve the least semblance of a claim upon " it, either temporary or in perpetuity. As a matter " of friendship alone, Sardinia permits Ramie to have " a depot of coal, rigging, and equipment stores, in " the magazines and dockyard of Villatranca, for the " repair of any damage to her vessels of war. Sat " ditda did not wish to refuse Russia what she did not " refers ten years ago to the navy of the United States " of Asperity. In consequence of some differences he " tweets Bpaia and the United States, the latter power "was deprived of Port Mahon, that is, of those very " advantages which Russia is now asking for, and "when the Americans applied to Piedmont, they "were granted the nee of the Varignano establish " asset in the Gulf of Spezia. Now, when Sardinia " resolved on removing her own naval establishment "from Genoa to Spezia, the Americans were told s' that they could no longer occupy Varignano. Jest :a the same way Sardinia may to-morrow forbid 4. 'Curia the privilege of tiring Villatrance which she "all. we to-day." Th e public is told that the cooomaion now made would ►lot bare taken place if a particular Bridals atatemnal had been in efilec We wishwe mild believe that there is at this moment any English Minister is Cr oat of ogee, wbo would have pursued towards • Sardinia e sincere and frar kpolicy, evils' would have THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1858. withheld her from this closer intimacy with a despotic and semi-barbarous power. Bat we cannot forget . . that it was the Minister whose name is now invoked as the steadfast and vigilant antagonist of Russia, who disappointed the just hopes of Sardinia on a question of vital importance to her. We remember the gallant part the Piedmonteee acted in the Crimea, and how their reasonable expectations ware dashed at the Paris Conferences. We and others have pointed out repeatedly that the ocaine taken by our Government was driving Sardinia towards alliances that would be distasteful to her statesmen, and which we could not regard without regret. Not to repeat ourselves, we will borrow the true words of our contemporary, the Spectator, on this subject: We aD remember how the mistaely, fir, and wasteatiel assassilime of IY Amer wee tressed when Cavour brought k bekee the 000/1111ffial ; how art day wea given to that pest ripet, sad to few Main, including the paltry grievers el the Plana Govenuret raises the Belgian jemensie. The enbeessent reseesstrancee al the Sardinian Gemersmest at this perfesokwy Milliner of en obligation wen Iroslid with coldness. Sardinia bad ems his support is as Crimes, and when she presented the persiseary note tsr payment, she wee told then were "so sire." It is Is be believed that even dale that pried the statesmen of Wag VW= Emmanuel have Inked to the Western Powers, end espidelly to coostitutiosal Wirt, !or support against that power whose unisterrapted preperatisse ea the frontier of Piedmast rem to point to no other desks than the waling of Serdirs. The support has not been gives. Ilsrdtnia sided se is obtaining the objects of the Busks yr. We bar forgotten our obligation to Sardinia; and she mod relsolantly, it is to be presumed, his been the M amma el ear enemy he the attainment of his oblset ; and It Is pessilde that the reran he that breach of sairlateacy on the pre el Sardinia may be found in a promise et support spier Austria from despotic Ruda, when carlitational Begird has failed. It would have been well if we had retained the confidence of the Piedmontese, and so prevented the approximation to Rivals which the concession of privileges at Villafranca involves : but we should have occupied a singularly unworthy position if, after disappointing her of the fruits of our alliance, we quarrelled with her because within the boundary of her sovereign rights she grant, favours to powers able and willing to render her effectual service. Our Turin correspondent has, in a few words, given the key of Sardinian policy. Sardinia is small, but she nevertheless feels called by Providence to foster the Italian cause. For this she is hated by Austria, who is still keeping under arms from four to five hundred thousand men. It is, therefore, a paramount necessity for her to seek friends where she can find them, and she thinks she is most sure of those who, like herself, are enemies of Austria. EXPREsb F KUM rAitlb. (7110 Y ova OWN PARIS, SUNDAT EPINING• The Turin correspondent of the Prune gives the following versiou of the manner in which England has been, to use a popular phrase, thrown over by Sardinia in the Villafranca affair. According to the writer, Count Canoes owes Lord Malmtabury " an ancient grudge" which he ha. taken the present opportunity to " feed fat." The grudge goes back to the days of the Cagliari crew. In point of fact, it is pretty notoricus that Lord Mtlmeebury, who took such high ground (under the pressure of public opinion at home) with the Neapolitan government in the matter of the two English engineers, showed Count Cavour the cold shoulder when he demanded English support in behalf of the Sardinian crew. The slighted Sar dinian Minister, 'acceding to this account, has given Lord Malmesbury a Roland for his Oliver, by taking counsel with the Emperor of the French, but none with the cabinet of St. James's, before he agreed to the Villafranca lease with the Russian Company. The decree of the dissolution of the Spanish Cortes is published. The new chambers will meet on the Ist of December. Arrests had ;been made at Naples on the 7th of September, the eve of the fête of the Madonna; but the persons arrested were speedily released. The police of these absolute princes must do some thing to keep their hand in. The Council-General of the Miranit passed a motion at the conclusion of its last session, in which the departmental assembly expressed a hope that Prince Napoleon would visit the port of Cette, oc the occasion of his approaching voyage to Algeria. The substance of the motion was forwarded to the Prince' by MM. Michel Chevalier and B. Cazelles, deputy for the Menult. The Prince replied as follows : Paris, &pt. 14„ 1868. Osatkmim,—l have received your letter Of the 29th ult., enclosing a ropy of the report of the deliberations of the Comma-General of the Hammalt.

An appeal is to be lodged in the Cour Imperials against the judgment of the:tribunal of Correctional Police at Poitiers, by which a sentenoe of two months' imprisonment was passed upon M. de Curzon, and one month's upon M. de Maine, for getting up an illegal address to the :Count de Chambord. The government has resolved on the establish ment of a coaling depot at Macao :for the accommo dation of French vessels of war in the China, seas, and the two sailing frigates Africaine and :Nereid' are to be freighted with coal for that smrposs.

EXPLOSION ON BOARD THE HAMBURG AND NEW YORK STEAMER HAMMONIA. (ram 001 OWN HAMBURG, Barr. N. Great excitement was created in this city on Thursday, by the announcement of an accident of a mysterious nature having happened on board]the iron screw steamer Hammonia, Captain Schwensen, of and from this port to New York, which left Cux haven the day before yesterday with the usual 'American bi-monthly mails, a large and valuable i cargo of manufactured goods, and 293 passengers. It appears that the steamer—which belongs to the ' German line of packets that touch at Southamp ton, and have hitherto been distinguished by their splendid runs across the Atlantic and the total absence of all accidents or misfor tunes—left the Elbe on Thursday afternoon, and had not been many hours at sea, when from looms hitherto unexplained cause an explosion took place in the after part of the ship, and it wu found that the powder-magazine, containing the vessel's stock of blue lights, signal rockets, and powder for @eluting, had blown up. This magazine being situated under the chief saloon, the passengers of the first-clam cabins were the principal rofferers, as the poop decks were forced up by the violence of the explosion. The ship was immediately turned round to retrace her steps to the Elbe, whilst medi cal assistance was speedily offered by the surgeon of the Hammonia, and Dr. Neander, one of the cabin poultry. To allay the fears of the passengers' friends in England, I here subjoin the list of wounded as given by the company ;-1, Madame Andre, from Offenbach, residing at Philadelphia, slight non tusion of the right hip ; 2, Herr Barth, from Costa Rica, dislocation of the left knee cap; 3, Miss Fanny Siermann, from Fiirth, a slight wound on the left cheek; 4. Herr Fnedrieh Muller, from Oldenburg, lower part of left thigh bone broken, and fracture of right leg below the knee. Owing to the praiseworty minions made by the directors of the company, the repairs of the injury will be completed this evening, and the manager has publicly announced to-day that the vowel will sail to-morrow morning (Sunday) for New York. Al though the police authorities have made the most searching investigation, and examined the officers, passengers, and crew, nothing has been elicited to throw the slightest light on the cause of the explo sion, which is consequently Irrupt in the same shroud of mystery as before, but generally attributed to spontaneous combustion. The powder =wine contained forty blank cartridges for the saluting lour-pounders, live dozen blue lights, and about an equal quantity of signal rockets. There was also soma gunpowder in it belonging to the French govern ment Some of the slightly wounded proceed to New York by the Ifammonia ; but Mr. Muller, who was sitting in the smoking saloon Immo (Warty over the powder magazine when the explo sion took place, lies in the General Hospital of this city in a most critical state, and Dr. RIWITO, the head surgeon of the establishment, is going to amputate both his legs to-dal, and entertains but very feeble hopes of his surviving the operation. Madame Andre is also not able to proceed to her destination by this steamer, and remains for the pre sent at the Hotel de l'Earope under the surgical care of Dr. Roorre. No damage was done to the screw or any other part of the machinery of the Ham monis, which is an iron-built vessel of 2,500 tons. ITALY. FRENCH AND ROMAN CONFLICTS. (MOW 091 OWN ROM, Sirr. 14. Hostilities have broken out afresh between the French and Roman soldiery in this city, in spite of the peace-making exertions of Cardinal Antonelli and the French ambsseador a couple of months ago, when, after several previous frays, order was res tored under the auspices of the French and Roman generals, dinners on an extensive scale were given to consolidate the somewhat fragile friendship of the rival forces, and copious libations prepared to wuh down the not always palatable toast of " Buon Franoese!" " Boon Italiano !" On Sunday morning four French sediers of the 40th Regiment of the line were discussing with the puzzled master of a café, near Sant' Andrea della Valle, the propriety of their receiving change for a napoleon which they had not as yet produced, when a Roman dragoon came in to ask for a wafer to seal a letter he was about to send to his mother, at Velletri. Whether the dragoon showed his disapprobation of the unreasonableness of the French soldiers by some gesture or not, certain it is that they turned wrathfully upon him and struck him, following him out of the café into the street, where, in self defence, he was obliged to draw his sword upon them, and a combat ensued in which, in spite of the odds against him, the dragoon with his long weapon might have had the beet of the encounter, bad he not got entangled with his own spurs whilst turning short round to defend himself from the assaults of one of his foes who bad attacked him in the rear, and fallen to the ground a helpless prey to the sabres of his cowardly assailants. The dragoon's head was split open before he could be rescued, and he would probably have been hacked to pieces if a patrol of French soldiers had not opportunely arrived, having been previously sent for by the muter of the café to settle the difficulty about the napoleon. The four soldiers, who had evidently been drinking immoderately, left their victim on the ground, an d tied, pursued by the patrol, towards the Via del Sudan, where they were captured and brought back, amidst the hooting and hissing of the mob, one or two of them bearing marks of the dragoon's handiwork. The wounded man was taken immediately to the hospital, where he is still in imminent danger, although not yet dead. So much irritation was produced amongst his fellow-eoldiers on hearing of the affair that the colonel of the dragoons gave orders for the barracks to be closed and every man to remain within ; but, being Sunday morning, and after mass, many dragoons were already out on leave, and three repaired in menacing attitude to the French barracks near the Canoelleria Palace, where, however, the officers succeeded in preventing any further conflict. It is expected that one or two of the French soldiers who commenced the quarrel, will be shot, in accord ance with the severe measures ordered by General de Goyon on a similar occasion, shortly before his departure for France. He will find all his reconci liatory work to be done over again on his return here, which is expected in a few days. The only effective mode of putting a stop to these periodical demonstrations of antipathy will be adopted ere long, if we may believe such an often resumed report, by the withdrawing of the French garrison from the capital. Civita Vecchia is to be occupied some time longer by French troops, and their reduction to that seaport town is stated to be fixed for the beginning of 1859, when the railway thence to Rome will be in activity, and afford every facility for a rapid re turn of any number of French regiments, should the safety of the Papal government again require such aid from the Emperor Napoleon. The Austrians are to withdraw simultaneously from Bologna, and leave a garrison only in Ancona, as a oounterpoise to the French in Civita Vecchia, and a basis for the renewal of military operations in ease of the legations once more giving signs of political uneasiness. To supply the place of the imperial forces, and to strengthen its own military position, the Papal government is engaged in enrolling. an other regiment of Swiss soldiers, another regiment of indigenous infantry of the line, and another bat talion of riflemen. Enlisting agents have already been sent abroad to collect the heterogeneous materials for the new Swiss, or, as it is more properly denominated, foreign regiment ; but the two already in the Pope's service are meanwhile dwindling away, in consequence of illness, mal du pays, and reluctance of the moldier, to renew their engagements under the Papal banner. The bounty to recruits in the state has likewise been raised, to induce young men to come forward volun tarily (there being no conscription in the Pope's dominions), and officers' commissions are given to persons presenting themselves with the requisite number of followers as common soldiers. It will be seen that all these military depend in part upon the French railway k e it a gN s . Mires, and his timely completion of the Civita Veochia lice. In his report upon the subject to the general assembly of shareholders on the 26th ult. he stated that the council of administration reckoned upon opening the line to the public in the beginning of December, a very opportune circumstance for the crowds of foreigners who flock towards Rome in that season. Meanwhile M. Mir& has adopted some modifications in the number and value of the shares representing the Roman railway company which do not appear to have met with the approbation of the Roman government, although decided upon by the meeting of shareholders, in order to facilitate the negotiation of the shares in the French Bourse. It remains to be seen whether the Roman Minister of Commerce and Public Works will exercise any influ ence over the determinations of the council of admi nistration and the general assembly of shareholders, of whom the great majority are French. Negotiations are pending between M. Mires and the Austrian government for the connexion of the Lombardo-Venetian and Pio-Central railways, by means of a line from Ferrara to Rovigo and Padua. This would greatly increase the Lombardo-Venetian traffic oa the hue from Padua to Milan on one side, and thence to the Piedmontese and French railways, and to Cesare& on the other side, which will soon be brought into direct communication with Vienna and the whole of Ger many. This connecting link would also greatly im prove the agricultural and mercantile prospects of Ferrara and Bologna—districts richly productive of maize and hemp, which are largely consumed at Trieste and Pole, the maritime emporiums of Aus tria. The fertile province of Polesine, through which the line would pass, would also gain more facile amen for its products to the Adriatic. The execution of the line would, of course, be of the easiest kind in so level a country, intersected by no large rivers except the Po. IP -whinge on London, 472 g. Roman Consols, 94.

The steam ship City of Baltimore, which left New York on the 9th of this month, arrived this evening, after an extraordinary ran of ten days, bringing 251 passengers, and 97,340 dollars specie. Her news is generally anticipated by telegraph via Halifax. The New York Herald publishes the following letter concerning the cable : "I have received from Newfoundland a despatch, informing me that although the insulation of the ocean cable remains perfect, no message has come over it for several days. The last telegraphic de spatch that I received from England was dated Sept. I. What may be the cause of cessation Ido not know, but I conjecture that it is the change of shore end at Valentia, which I was informed was about to be made. " CYRUS W. FIELD. "New York, Sept. 8." On the Bth, affairs at Quarantine were remark ably quiet; the military had not made their appear ance, and the people at Staten Island thought that Governor King's proclamation was issued merely for effect, and was connected with political motives. QUARANTINE RIOT AT STATEN ISLAND. (riox oog owx NEW YORK. SIFT. 4. There has been a prodigious sensation created by a piece of Lynch law, or rather mob violence, perpe trated on Staten Island, three or four miles down the bay, within the last two days. The quarantine buildings, including the hospital, the doctors' and callous houses, stores, &c., were attacked by a mob, containing large numbers of the wealthiest and most respectable residents on the island, and burnt to the ground, the furniture and the patients having previously been removed, the latter laid on the grass outside and exposed to wind and weather in the night. This is the second attempt of the kind which has been made, and the place was garrisoned for two months last winter by a forte of armed police, who were unluckily withdrawn. The causes of this extraordinary ebullition of po paler feeling are well known. Staten Island is one of the pleasant suburbs of the city. It is within half an hour of New York, and contains every variety of the most charming scenery. Large numbers of persons have accordingly taken up their abode on it, either for the sake of pare air, or from motives of economy. The quarantine station has been on it for fifty years, but when it was fleet placed there the island was almost a wilderness, and the foreign trade of New York was oomparatively insignificant, and the inconvenience of quarantine accordingly comparo tively trifling. Since then the island has become thickly peopled, and the arrivals of yellow fever ' patients from the South every summer very nume ous. In spite of the remonstrances of the inhabitants, the health establishment was last year extended farther along the shore, so that property on all ' points of the island has depreciated enormously in value, and many people have been obliged to fly from their homes to save their families from sea breezes tainted with yellow fever. There are several other points in the bay on which a quarantine may be established without danger or inconvenience to any one, but they are all same distance from the city, and whenever the subject has been brought before the city legislature, all attempts to remove it have been defeated by the exertions of the wealthy New York shipowners, who want to have their vessels quarantined in a place that suits their own convenience. Finding it impossible to get redress by legal means, or to have their grievances discussed on their merits, the residents on the island have taken the law into their own hands, and in obedience to a vote of their own board of health de claring the quarantine a nuisance, have demolished it. One hundred police and a piece of artillery were sent down last night, and if this should prove insuf ficient, there is talk of calling out the militia. A later account says: " The Staten Island rebel lion begins to assume a very important aspect. The rebel, have taken a bold stand, and declare they will not permit any one to leave the quarantine grounds to mingle with the residents of the island. The Police Commissioners and Quarantine autho rities are actively preparing for war, and from pre sent appearances there is every probability of an immediate collision between the belligerent forces. Police-superintendent Talhnadge has been suspended from duty in consequence of his action in the pre mien. Several of the rebels appeared before Justice Welsh at the City Hall yesterday (ths 6th), and en tered into recognisance., for their appearance at the Court of Sessions. One of the number was com mitted to the Tombs, but was subsequently released upon a writ of babes corpus." On the 7th instant, the Hon. John A. King. Go vernor of the State of New York, issued the follow ing proclamation : The deliberate and 'Penton destruction on the nights of the Ist end 2nd of September, by a large mob of armed men, of the buildings, dwellings, houses, and hoepttan at the qua rantine station in the county of Richmond, the property of the people of this State; the cruel and inhuman dragging forth of the sick and disabled patients from the hospitals, respected always even In war—their berbarotts exposure without shelter throughout an Inclement night ; the concurrence in and approval of these violent sots re. people of the county of Richmond, end especially by those who reside in the neighbourhood of the quareatine grounds— the undisguised and determined manner in which all these outrages were committed, evincing a total disregard and con tempt of the laws and of all of their obligations and duties as citizens and men—all combined, present, to mytudgment, a case which, standing alone in its enormity and violence., appeals directly to the chief magistrate of the State, whose duty it le to see that the laws are faithfully executed, to assert and maintain the dignity of the state, and of the authority of those laws so contemptuously and barbarously deSed and trodden under foot —Now, therefore. sating upon the responsibility of my office, and desirous to vindicate the supremacy of the laws, I desonnoe these eats of arms and outrage as crimes of the highest infamy ; and for the purpose of bringtag the people of the county of Richmond to a tun some of the enormity of these crimes which they have per mitted to be perpetrated without any attempt at interference with, or to punish the well-known actors to all these terrible scenes of violence, burning.. and bloodshed, and to and wand the threat. which are yet made, that the chips lying at quarantine shell be fired, and the buildings for the accom modation of the sick who are now bouaelees, as well as for those who may arrive from infected southern ports, would he destroyed se some as erected, and, for the security of the dries of New York and Brooklyn from contagion ash psitilenoe. issue this proclamation, and call on the civil method** of the county of Richmond, and upon seek sad all of its inhabitants, Instantly and zealously to - apwaße restoring the outraged pesos and order of the and in bringing to pttniahnient the well-known bold and principal actors and abettors In these acts of arson and murder.

Prefacer Whitehouse, the electrician, pea pub. lished • detailed account of the origin and history of tho Atlantic Telegraph project, with a statement of his own claims and eerricem in that work. He concludes with the following remarks upon the aceldrat by which the telegrapli is now interrupted: The arrival of the Agamemnon and Niagara at Valenti& and Trinity Bays respectively look place within a few hods of each other. Within a few miles the same length of cable had been expended by each ; communication had bees mak mined, with one or two temporary interruptions, by ream of he pre-arranged ship-signals until the time of WA*, Them interruptions had given rise at the time of their comb ranee to the greatest anxiety ; but, whatever had been m i k origin, they bad been remedied or passed away, and by reseed to produce any serious inconvenience. The ands d the cable were now landed, the distant one in en almost wil derness at the head of Trinity Bay, our own on Wade Island. Communication, at first maintained by the Alp. signals only, was shortly attempted by use of our special in struments far speaking. Newfoundland answered our coil currents by giving us the pre-arranged landing eignel as need on ship-board, and this was repeated frequently daring the day. We therefore waited patiently till time should ad. mit of their making the necaisary arrangements, rotundas , meanwhile, to exchange signals with them, their epode' la ointments for speaking of course not yet being prepared or adjusted. By midnight on the fourth day after the landing of the and, the speaking instruments at Newfoundland were suffi ciently adjusted for them to work. We received from them words at good speed and with perfect accuracy, which wee recorded at times by the use of my own instruments alona, at other times received also upon Thomson's galvanometer and recorded in the manner already described at /intim, and sweelimes by both systems simultaneously. Sentences and menages followed, and the facility with which these were received, led me to believe at first theta diffiesky which they experienced in reading our signals was to be attributed to the injury, or still imperfect adjustment of the delicate ye. airing instruments carried out in the Niagara and Gorgoa. The gradually decreasing strength of oar current as re ceived at Newfoundland, and reported by them, soon made it evident, however, that alight, but gradually increasing injury to our cable at this end was the caws of this embarraaamsnt. This continued to increase till they were reduced to reading our signal/ by barely visible movement of their most seaside detector—half a degree—while we rewired wore than a hundred times this amount of force from them. Oar mode of working was then modified to suit the altered condition of the conductor—voltaic currents of low intensity being OW played, and the signals being sent, at their ragmen, muck more slowly than before. goon they ceased to receive even this feeble tram of oommtunoation from us, while yet their signals as received by us were of ample strength. After a time these elm began to diminish very considerably in force, and it berme evident that the injury was gradually increasing, and would shortly interrupt all communication either way. The;peculiar mode in which this difficulty manifested Welt, pointed unmistakely to the Valentin end as the seat c injury. Our troperintendents at Newfoundland themselves detected it, and twice telegraphed to us to test for it. I had satisfied myself, by most oonclusive tests, that It was close at hand. The shore end, intended for protection of our cable, wee lying at Bighorn, and our slight and fragile cable, pretend only for the tranquil ocean depths, was exposed to the fall swell of the Atlantic on the Irish coast, and to the swaying to and fro with every tide. I believed, from my testing, and from the gradual mode which the injury had manifested itself, that the fault would be found slight in degree, but extended probably over that portion of our fragile cable between high water mark and the deep and tranquil sea, for which it we. alone intended, what ft wee exposed—end allowed to remain exposed, I cannot bed may negligently—almost wantonly—to an amount of strain and attrition for which it was known to be matted. I will not here offer an opinion as to whether It wag the duty of the board or their engineer to have guarded spirt the occurrence of injury from such well-known cause wide the mesas were at band provided by themselves: sake k that up to the fourteenth day, I was left, surrounded by these Madan in responsible charge of the station without sop- Port. I therefore took "upon myself the onus of directing the cable to be raised and examined by Mr. Canning. The weather prevented the completion of this till the day M whiclKl left for town by order of the directors. Otitis* MM. ing of that day I was informed by telegraph at one of as staking en my journey that our superintendent had dies. mired end out out a faulty part, which by testing had given 46 degrees of toes. And the following morning, en my ar rival at the telegraph station at Dablia, I found Mat the President's menage, which had been waiting a king then was at Wet coming through the cable. The submersion of the shore end—always await is =—and which ought to have been mall em Oho the ships, has b n, een, in my splehm, delaed.
