A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS," 'containing the results of the day's Races, is rib fished every evening daring the Sporting Season, at sin o'clock. TUE first Minister to break the silence of the re.' cre, and open the series of speeches one expects from prom;oent public men about this time of the year, is the PRagrozwr of the BOARD of TEA ADZ. Mr. H LIM CY hes not many secrets to tell. His colleagues may poseibly hart been soothing a rival sr bombartvng en ally, or making a itches' BM, or fortifying themselves against a fancied cabal 1 bat of these things be hsa nothing to say.

Reetseed Dace more to his country, Mr. Hrtrtur ends it is a state of general prosperity. Some Pre sidents of the Board of Trade would have sought the evidence this fact in Downing-street, would have quoted statistics and compared imports and exports. Mr. HENLEY gets at the result by another and more familiar procesa. He went straight to the county gaol, and found that the number of prisoner, there was much lower than it bad been for many years, a fact which, altlxr..gla it concerns but one out of our fifty-two sionaties, all will be glad to hear. In the eminently agricultural shire, then, which Mr. HENLEY repre sents, in the county from which the direst predictions of rain name when we were untaeng the people's bread, the labouring classes are well off. The gaol Twister shows it, and the exemplary Squire whom wailing note wee heard leaden a few years age to their behalf cashews the fact by his pmeemsl testimaey. As to their employers, the hewn, they win them to speak for themselves, and when they so far dewed their reputed habit and Maw es to cheer the sesertica that the country is Meg well, the thew of demeestrition could go se %ether.

It is to others capable of dealing with national affairs in a wider spirit than that of a Visiting Justice, men of whom Mr. HENLEY has shown himself at the critical moment eta unques tioning follower, that we mast look for an authorita tive exposition of the principles of the new Messare. The right hon. gentleman nevertheless represents a large section of his party. In their eyes the last Reform Bill is nothing but a nest which the Whigs made, and—if we must follow his unsavoury similitude—have since befouled. This notion of a political nest, unhappily, is not peculiar to any party. To build and occupy nests is the great work of too many politicians, on whichever side we look. It is not, however, the work which the people of England are expecting of Parliament next spring. It is the homing of hundreds of thousands of English men who are as yet politically homelees. Shelter and _ . entertainment must first be found for them. The old house of the Constitution has long since trued to be capacious enough to hold the rightful members of the trolly. It must be enlarged until there is room in it for the worth, the intelligence, the power of the nation. No lower work than this will be ac cepted of any Administration. "The try of Reform " has gone on for some years," sap Mr. HEXLITI not without a suspicion of secret hope. It haw but it will not go on much longer. Mr. Haat= and hie friends must shorty make up their minds. Either Reform is necessary, and would therefore be safe, or it is not needed, and would be mischievous. There is no middle place for the gentlemen of the quorum. THE LATE WILLIAM WEIR.. (Faun the Deily sews.) In them columns, not lightly to be turned from public noes, we claim today a space for private sorrow. There are griefs that will not be suppressed. The kindly man, the statesmanlike and well furnished journalist who, for the last four years, has goaded the polities' °owes et this newspaper, ie taken from our midst. William Weir died at twenty minutes past three yesterday afternoon, at his town residence, after an illness which lasted only a few days. Our late Colleague was pecaliarly fitted to engage the affectionate reverence of those with w►om he acted. Ihe credit of the newspaper pre!, of the present day ;v upheld by the exertiori of mea of broad and deep learning, high literary ability, wide knowledge of mankind, quickness of observation, and untiring energy. The combination of these qua lities in one character, however, iv rare in any pro fession. They were united in our late Editor. Mr. Weir was born in 1802, in North Britain, and having made the best use of the schoo's of his native country, completed his academic studies at the Uni versity of Gottingen. In 1826, having returned to these islands, he was called to the Soott;sh be-. Before a long time had elapsed he exchanged a legal for a political and literary career, end for several years conducted one of the most able and "liken tial newspapets of Scotland. Removing to London he at once took a high position in 13;t1 profession, and joined the Spectator. On the establish ment of the Daly News his vast knowledge end Milt ability attracted the notice of its conductors, wbe asnosiated kis to their editorial staff.

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. (non ors, grim'. coznairoximir.) VALINTL&, SUNDAT, SIPT. 12. lbs sounds of rejoicing for the completion of the telegraply;o communication between England and America had herdly ceased on either side of the ocean which has been so wonderfully intersected by the wire, and the ovation.; and festivities in honour of those who were instrumental in achieving the great work were still at their height on thisside of the Irish Channel, when gloom was out upon all by the sudden and unexpected announcement that intel ligible signals had ceased to come through the cable. The public and those interested in the success of the undectaking have doubtless been much surprised that so many days should have been allowed to elapse since the announcement of the failure of signals . . without their being made acquainted, either throng h the company or newspaper correepondeace, with the progress of sirs at this terminus of the Atlantic wire. But the fact is, that beyond the love fact that signals were not received, there was nothing to communicate until the results of the investigation of Professor Thomson, Mr. Ed. Bright, Mr. Varley, and other scientific gentlemen, who have been experimenting up= the Gable for the past few days, transpired. Throe experiments have not yet been completed, but sufficient has been done towards pointing out the exact position and probable nature of the fault to justify the public being made acquainted with the hots. In order to make the present condition of the cable perfectly understood, it will be necessary to trace its history from previously to the landing of the end at Valenti& down to the present time. In a former communication contlining the particulars of the last and successful crake of the Agamemnon, it will be remembered that refereuce was made to a very aericios electrical fault having occurred in the cable am bunday, Aug. 1, after about one-half of the dis eases from mid-ocean to the shores of Ireland had 'been traversed. Though that fault (which was ap giatently a breach in the continuity of the seaductor) gradually recovered itself, after hay * canoed great trouble and anxiety for some thirteen hours, yet the electrical condition of the fable had evidently received a shock, from which it never completely recovered. This was, however, regarded as a matter of very little conseqeence, as the currents, wbich were both received and trans bitted, were sufficiently gc d for ell the prrpooes of telegraphing. During the remaining three or bar days which were rumpled in submerging the remainder of the w're, itt elect :cal condition was very variable, being at times very good and occa sionally indifferent. These variat'ons were at the time referred to the effects of magnetic atm ms end earth currents, bat at no time was its condition so defective as in any degree to impaii• the tele graphic communication. From the time of landing the end, on the 3th of August, to Monday, the 9th, the cable continued in 80. condition, though a slight defect of no consequence in working was observed in the insulation. Up to that evening nothing but ultimate positive end negative currents had been re ceived from Newfoundland, though words and ad justment messages had, from soon efts the landing, been continently rent from Valentia. That even ing, however, coil currents erase with the words "send slower" and "repeat" from New feendlend, being sent by Mr. Whitehorse's instru ments and received upon his beautifully-oonstx acted recording relay. It tires sc se found, however, that Mr.Whitehouse's n cording relay, though admirably adapted for node 'g menages tbrough the cable, had been adjusted and constructed under the very natural belief that the cable if landed at all would have suffered little in its electrical condition, and was found not to work with certainty with the comparatively feeble signals which arrived from the American continent. Pro faner Theenson's delicate reflecting galvanometer was accordingly substituted for it, though menages were transmitted from both ends as usual by Mr. Whitehouse's patent. It is neeese-ry to mention thine apparently tilling circumstances in order to correct an erroneous impression wh'oh has doubtless unintentionally been cleated by a letter recently publ'shed by Mr. Whitehouse; for no one can deny the inest , ntable services rendered to the cause of Atlantic telegraphy by Mr. Whitehouse in hie capacity of electrician, or the energy mad perseverance with which he laboured at his eleetrical experiments through a long period, when it wee more than doubtful whether the cable would ever be laid to render practical hie discoveries and inveatines. Whatever may be the merits of the dispute between Mr. Whitehouse and the Atketio Telegraph Company, whether he has or has not been harshly treated, is a question between him eel the directors, with which the public have no emerre. It is necessary here to enter thus far into the gem tioa to correct the impression which Mr. White house's letter no doubt unintentionally conveyed, that his instruments alone were mad in the receipt and transmionee of all the massages which paned through the Atlantic cable. During the whole of the week, from Monday the 9th to Saturday the 14th, various adjustment manages were received and sent through the t=ree, though, in consequence of their mestantly requlring message from Valentin to be repeated several times, it sums evident that in New foundland the signals were not read with the some facility as those in the contrary direction to Valentia. This circumstance tends to prove that the fault that was observable was somewhere near the Irish Niue, for say defect more than 300 mike from either coast would affect the transmission and reception deigns!' equally at both ends. Accordingly, the cable WWI modetrun for the distance of about those miles from Yaks:tie Island by Mr. Cumming, cut, and tested armpit by Mr. Bartholomew, the electri not weirerintendent, who stated that what• wee fault reined was far out at sea. The shim were accordingly joined up again w:thout raw plea el sable being laid between Dow's' Meal Owl detain*. From that time to Saturday, the Meer Awe* the fault wee very variable both in Ite Mere sled its apparent distance from the Irish 'emit, at first appearing something like 400 mike die , tent, and gradually diminishing until it became eta, tkeary at a point calculated with great amivracy to be nearly 270 statute urine teem the Valentin end of the cable. All this period the elec trical condition became daily worse and wires, and it was only with the greatest cam and by constant repetitions that the various official and congratulatory messages between the English and America" authorities were transmitted to Newfoundland ; the messages back to Valenti' being, in almost every case, deer and dietinot. The condition of the wire became daily more faulty until the Slat of August, when a government mes sage wits despatched through the cable for the North American colonies, and on the morning of the Ist of September, a mooed government manage wee safely transmitted, bat after it had been duly acknowledged, the ineuktise of the wire became suddenly wave, sad it wet fbund impossible to make them understand at Newfoundland. Wordeand mes sages wet emtinvally tree= itted,bat it was soon evi dent that on the American shore they could only just distisge'sh that signals were being sent, for the only answer received at Valenti& was " Repeat," and " Don't understand," and some of these small phrases were only distinguishable at intervals, and since half-past one o'clock on the morning of Friday, the 4th of September, no intelligible signal whatever has been received. Occasionelly, how ever, very distinct reversals (es regularly alternating positive and negative currents are termed) have been received, sometimes so strong and good, that had they been sending words from Newfoundland they could have been distinctly read on the repeating galvanometer of Professor Thomson. When the line is not in use, for the purposes of test ing, words and short messages are continually dis patched through the wire for an hour at a time, end then for the next hour the galvanometer is watched for the answers which, excepting the reversals already alluded to, never come. From the time of the first cessation of the signals up to the present time Professor Thomson, Mr. Varlsy, and Mr. Edward Bright have been engaged day and night in testing, and all have come to the conclusion that the defect is a loss of insulation about 270 miles (along the cable) from Valentia. This, calculating the amount of slack cable paid out during the later days of the submerging operations, would place the fault about 220 statute miles from shore, or somewhere upon the mountain rouge which divides the depths of the Atlantic from the comparatively shallow water leading from the Irish coast. Reference to logs and diaries, kept by those on board the Agamemnon daring the submerging operations, show that this bank was crossed between 4 and 6 o'clock on the afternoon of August 3, more than en hour before the expected time. It bad been intended by 1 Sir Charles Bright to allow a great quantity of slack cable to remain while crossing this point, in order that it might reach the bottom of all the inequalities which might exist there undiscovered by the sound ing line. But from some unexplained cause the Agamemnon throughout the whole cruise steamed at a greater speed than was registered by the log line. Owing to this cireurnst-mee the bank was reached at lerst an hour before the expected time, the first intimation receivel by those on board being a sodden decrease in the registered strain upon the dynamometer, and an equally sudden falling off in speed of the cable, the ship maintaining the same rate as regis"red by the log line. Sir Charles Bright's attention was called to the circumstance, and he seeing at once that the shallow water was approaching, or had actually been reached, ordered the weights to be taken off the brakes, which allowed a large quantity of slack to go overboard. It must always remain a matter of doubt, however, whether the falling off in the attain on and speed of the cable was observable at all until the top of the bank had been reached, and had this been the ease, it is quite possible that the cable may have remained suspended upon nine projecting points on the steep, end its insulation soon become gradually injured by its own weight. This is of coon* but a probable oonjecture, bead upon the facts above stated. But at the same time it is impossible to account in any other way for the able having become damaged since its submersion. Should the fault have originated in this way, not the least blame is attributable either to Si- Chas. Bright, his assistants, or the officers of the Ags memnon, the occurrence being solely referable to the defective and uncertain method of ascertaining the speed of a ship at present in vogue in the Royal Navy. The steep range above eluded to is often mentioned as a hollow, though upon what ground it is difficult to say, for soundings were taken upon it, one at the bottom and ;mother at the top; and these two soundings, though only eight miles apart, show a difference in elevation of 1 7,200 feet. Of the astute of the intervening specs no one can of course fos.n sny coojectoro ; whether the sides of this submarine mountain—for it can be called nothing else—are broken by ravines or pre cipitous el.ffs, in the same way es the sides of the mountsins on land are, nothing but a cle:e end care ful eerie. of soundings can ever &tarn:mt. That such a series of soundings were not made by Com mander Daymen at the point in question, when he sounded across the Atlantic from the Cyclops, wasps believe, due to the prevalence of bad weather at the time. It is perfectly conclusive according to theex perinusits of Profaner Thomson and Mr. Verity that the water has reached the conducting wi-e in at least one place not less than 220 miles from the shore, and as the currents received from Newfoundland vary from one two-hundredth, t ) or ly one nine-hundredth part of the strength they sherild be, it world be deceiving the public to state that the fault is other than of the most serious nature. But still it is believed possible by some, with more deli cate instruments and with proper oonoert at both ends of the li nil to work through during some part of each day provided the condition of the wire becomes no worse. Negative currents of electricity are now used ss much as possible in the trananisaion of signals, for were positive ow rents used, the exposed portion of the wire, by de composing the salt water in contact with it, would be oxidated through in • very short time. gr. Henley, who has been for some days experimenting upon the cable, is sanguine of making the line again serviceable by the use of his powerful magnetos electrical machines, which are now on their way from Loudon. It is as well that every expedient for working the line in its present defective condition be tried, as the chanties of successfully anderrnuning the cable es far se the point of inje-y are unfortunately very small indeed. The extraor dinary phenomena of the natural currents of oleo• tricity, which are continually traversing the swine of the earth in various directions, arc by their in ductive effects upon the great length of cable sub. merged and disturb the needles and galvanometers at both ands of the line to • considerable degree, Their nature and action, if properly observed and studied by means of the Atlantic cable, would ao doubt throw considerable light upon the phenomena of diurnal magnetic variations, tom:cant for which no satisfactory law has been proposed. On the night of Monday, the 6th of September, one of those extraordinary phenomena called magnetic stones, most have passed over the track of the cable, for from half-past eleven to half-past twelve, the re flecting galvanometer in connexion with the lbse was most violently distu-bed. The reflection was so rapid and violist, that it wee wily one sionally that the reflected ray of light could be distinguished upon the reading Boole. These magnetic storms are by no means of rare oorcumnos, and, is well as the earth currents already nese tioned, sometime cease great delay and annoyance on long lines of telegraphic communication. There is still a very generally prevalent ides that one of the principal faults in the cable is comparatively near shore, and though this supposition is opposed to the very conclusive experiments of Professor Thomson and Mr. Variety, yet it is a question whether, for the fall satisfaction of the share holders, it would not be worth while Viking up the cable for a few miles from either shore and than tasting through the middle portion. These operations would undoubtedly Ise attended with con siderable expense, and it is, therefore, probably not thought advisable to engage in them until it has been ascertained how matters stand at the American termini of the cable. Mr. Lundy, one of the else trical aseldtants, proceeds to Newfoundland on Tues day, vii the Prince Albert, from Galway, for the purpose of ascerbining the condition of the wire at the other terminus, and ohm for the purpose of erainging a day on which a certain knowa order of signals are to be sent, at concerted times, from b)th ends, rind to endeavour thus to re- estnblish intelligible communication. Even look ing at matters in the worst light—end supposing the cable, as far as practical working goes, to be a failure—not only has the practicability of sub merging it been demonstrated, but also the practi cability of working and signalling through it. Therefore it is not to be supposed for one moment that the public both on this end the other side of the Atlantic will ever allow the grand scheme for connecting together the Old and the New World to fall to the ground even if ten cables, instead of mte, be sacrificed in its accomplishment. At the erne time private entorprise, unless argue - 11y enoon-aged by the two goverrments,cannot be expected to come forward and expend rut sums of money in the te^.- nufacture and submerging of another cable with a fair chance against them of losing both capit^.l and interest. The Atlantic Telegraph Company have expended nearly half a million in the mennfactu'•o and laying of the present cable, for which the English and American govesnmenh gnarant • 28,0001. a year for a certain period, contingent upon success. But should the present cable prove a failure, both the capital and the government subsi dies are lo3t, and the shareholders aft expected to 'subscribe another half million for another wire, on the self-same basis as before, and with the same chance of losing all before them. Under these circumstances, it is not sur prising that the difficulties of raising the capital for • new cable ass looked upon as almost insurmountable. If the English and Ames can governments are rarity anxious for an effective telegraphic oommurication between the two countries, they have but to guaran tee a certain though small per centage on the total capital expended in the completion of the line, and money will be forthooming for new wires, should five ' or six be lost before one is successfully completed.

Freed from the oightmare presence of the terrible De Redcliffe, end flush of English money, Turkey is supposed to offer a gcod field for French exploitation. Two or three high Orientsl tionaries are named in connexion with the scheme, which is also said to find favour with an exalted personage. The prevailing principle appears to be that of regenerating and strengthening Turkey, white admitting "no brother sear the throne." Various details are mentioned as to the measures in contemplation ; for instvsce, the suppression of the privileges now extended to Christian foreign sub jean, and the substitution of a bettor general law, the introduction of a Mont-de-Pietk, and of various commercial novelties (probably a Credit Mobilier and ditto Fancier), and though last, sot lost, some financial scheme for keeping op Turkish credit, which probably means a wholesale dealing in Turkish Bonds on the Paris Bon. se. I give all this as I received it—cum grawo. The Press* falls foul of the liforosioepOiroiticle, apropos of the remark of that journal that had Lest Palmerston been is power Russia would never have obtained from Sardioia the lease of 1 /Matrixes. The Presse observes that without knowing what Lord Palmerston might have done it may venture to 'mart that England most not hope to prevent the maritime expansion of all other nations. It in- Mamas the Russian, the American, and the French maritime progress ; admitting that though France has put her navy on a " respectable footing" she has too much neglected her merchant saris/. Other countries, says the Presse, w;1l follow in the same warm; and England most " make the best of it," for it would be a &Moult task even for Lord Palmerston, to oppose the oriverml tendency to maritime increase under the specious pretext that it is prejudicial to the rights of England as the first maritime power in the world. It is stated that the Austrian government is about to increase the subvention of the Austria% Lloyd's Company, in order to strengthen its heads against the new Russian oompetitiou. A telegram from Marseilles announces that the hustled Mossolman party is intimidated by the firm ness of Said Pasha ; that several begs had been ar resbd and publicly exiled; and that several pachrs sad beys, seemed of illegal exaction, had been con demned to the galleys. M. de Bellecour, secretary to Baron Gros, will not be free from his quarantine at Marseilles till four o'clock this day. Meantime, the particulars of the Chinese treaty have been received by private tele gram. The terms are generally the ease as those of the English treaty. We have permission to send ambassadors (resident). The Chinese may, or may not, at pleasure. They are henceforth to discontinue the use of the word barbarians. Indemnity is to be given as for destruction of property, bat not for ex penses of war. The Nord, returning to its &fawn of the lease of the port of Villafrases to Russia, says that power, tar from wishing to make a Gibraltar or a Toulon, desires nothing more than to mks part in the great commercial movement which is partly greeted by her produce. It is to be expected that England, whose merchants, together with those of Northern Germany, have hitherto monopolised the foreign trade of Russia, should regard with dissatisfaction the determination of that country to ribs it into her own hands. Austria, on her Part, will narnrally dread any interference with the interests of Trieste. L the psiseest dearth, not only of news bat of canards, the Parisian ha:lauds have an opportunity of taking a lesson in natural history in the heert of their airy, which it comes net within the lassos of the Jardin des Planes to give them. The Place Vendome is the head-quarter not only of the garrison, bar of the flying squadron, the swallows of Paris. Here they congregate from all parts of the city, and hold councils as to their general policy. I At prtsent the sabjeet under discussion is evidently their migration to winter quarters. If any mete will betake him to this grand square at emit= he will see the air darkened as by a cloud. The birds separate themselves into three bodies—an advanced guard, the main column, and the rear guard. k this military order they wing their airy way to th e open country, remain there some hours, retu rn , "a having received the orders for the following day, fgis off to their quarters. The object of these flights is the teaching their young to use their wings on a long march; and they are repeated daily till the day of their migration arrives. This grand day is said to have occurred last year on the feast of St. MichaeL ROM ISH PROSELYTISM. The unscrupulous character of Roniish proselytism has rarely been more forcibly illustrated than by i recent occurrence in Italy, the particulars of which hare been communicated from Berne: A young prot.stant girl of 18, a native of the Pays ds Vaud, livol an English family at Leghorn. Haling become surrounded by catholic influences, she was Wawa to abjure protestsutam. Hearing this, her father, in the just exercise of his parallel rights over a minor, demanded the interferenco of the Swiss Consul at Leghoto, for the pur pose of obtaining the removal of his daughter either to her t N ow erpkim ahme The , or C t at o b the olies holm arc e in d ud a her nea m r a re n l cu ati°c ovrci wiw that illid. th e Ce d e:! ant should only ace her in the presence of tomb= of has new faith; end the utinoet he could effect was to obteht her exigent to place herself under the care of her relation at Novice.

VIENNA, SEPT. 10. For some months past the Austrian manufacturers have been endeavouring to move heaven and earth —that is, the Emperor and Boron von Bruck—to upset the liberal commercial policy introduced with such brilliant success by the present enlightened Minister of Commerce, and revert to the system of protective duties, and are not ashamed to publish their tertimosiumpaupertatis. The number of these clamorous croaker* who predict the total ruiner all industrial undertakings in the Austrian dominions has now been increased by the ironmasters, *hi are now collected in this city from all the different pro vinces of the empire and holding • sort of congress, the object of which is to prevsu on the goverateent to rescind the orders lately given for the isipprti don of iron rails duty free. ` During the litsttwo years and a half," said the president of the meeting, "the different railway companies in Avitria have imported from abroad no less then two millions of centners (cwts.) of iron rail', besides other iron, for their own use to the value of twenty millass of florins (two million pounds sterling). These two millions centners of rails, and these other artieles worth twenty millions of florins, are stolen from the Austrian producers of iron." This categorical ver dict found a hearty response from the sasemblrd ironmasters, but has created a profound feeling of =etamongst the more liberal-minded free , disclosing as it does such a him idea of the rights of property. The members of this eciegress of ironmasters seem to think that high protective duties will create a spirit of eaterprise, the employ ment of fresh capital, cheap labour, and iturter • menu in their manufactures, whilst the eremitism of other countries goes to prove that these tfesfoble advantages can only be obtained by wholesonse'un aided competition. The Austrian government deserve praise for ilia sacrifices they have made, and the almost insuperable difficulties they have suomestally overcome, by the new numismatic arrangements lately introdyerliby which the eoinage throughout the whole of the Am trian dominioos has been made uniform, and is assimilated to the currency of the rest of Oermsay. The former crown-thalers of Maria Theresa .retell called in, and have been melted down, whilst** smaller coins, such as rwanzigers, kreutzere, gradually put out of circulation to the aced 400,000 florins annually.
