LAST September we °Wed the attention of our readers to the failure of the first attempt to lay down an electric to egraph cable for the purpose of uniting Europe and America in almost instanta neous communication with each other. The under taking had been so far suocemful, its practicability had been so far indicated, that we expressed a hope that there would be no delay, consistent with the safety of the enterprise, in renewing the difEcult undertaking. We are glad to find the Atlantic Telegraph Com pany have not been idle. The preparations for a renewed, and we hope a successful, endeavour to unite the Old and New World in immediate intellec tual communication are rapidly approaching com pletion. Four hundred and seven miles of new sable, lately manufactured at Greenwich, ham been added to the 2,186 miles of the old cable which ham been stared at I)evooport during the winter. In addition to the external coating of tar which the old cable had previous to its being stored, it has been covered with a mating of tar, linseed oil, pitch, and beeswax. This varnish has most completely pre served the cable from rust and all other accidents. In spite of all sinister forebodings we believe that the cable has been satisfactorily proved to be intact throughout its whole extent. No injury has been sustained from over-heating, spontaneous combus tion, or any other canoe. It will be a matter of great interest for our readers to learn that so lea a quantity of the submerged portion of the ea►le than 63 miles has been recovered from the depths of the ocean in an uninjured state. This is a very satishotory result. It shows the great strength of the cable, and its fitness for the purpose lbe which it has been manufactured. Four miles of the large or shore-end cable still lie submerged in comparatively shallow water on the Ballycarbcrry strand, Valentia Bay, ready to be joined to the new cable when once it reaches the shore. of Ireland. It is the intentioo, we believe, to depart from the method pursued last year, and to recur to the plan at first proposed. The two portions of the sable contained in the English and American ships are to be joined in mid-ocean, at a point aa nearly as pos sible equi-diatant from both shores. The two ships will then make for their respective destinations, each paying out its own portion of its important burden. There are many advantages which suggest themselves in favour of this arrangement. The cable will be deposited in half the time that would have been occupied by the former method, of laying it down from one shore to the other. The splicing midway between the two extremes can be made it, favourable weather, and if even more than once " unsuccessfully performed" can be re peated with little inconvenience. Last year, had the Agamemnon deposited the whole of her share of the cable, the splice between her por tion and that of the Niagara must have been made at once, irrespective of the state of the weather, and any flaw would have canoed imminent danger to the whole undertaking. There is this apparent disadvantage, however, that a fair wind for one ship will be unfavourable for the other. But this may not be so important, when we reflect that neither ship will be required to sail with greater speed than about five miles per hour. An erroneous impression seems to have been formed, that there wen • danger of one-half the cable untwisting the other, because the strands of the one were twisted in one direction and the strands of the oth er i n an o pp os it e direction., This could only have arisen from a misconception of the structure of the cable : the core of seven copper wires is not twisted like the strands of an ordinary rope. By an ingenious method, called the sun and planetary motion, the six wires are laid round • central wire in such a manner as not to twist one of the wires, the motion of the revolving bobbins being such that their length is always parallel to itself, imitating, in fact, the motion of the earth's axis in its revolution round the sun, or the moon's motion round the earth, as it would be, if it did not—as Itr..ILLLINGEI SYMONS Samurai us it does not—rotate on its axis once a month. The gutta perch& covering is without twist, and the iron wire sheath is also laid round it by the same sun and planet motion without twist. The conditions of the cable are utterly different from those of an ordinary repe, the twisting of the metallic portion being avoided, as it necessarily im pairs the strength of the wires, and all apprehen sions, therefore, of untwisting may be laid aside as groundless. The splice which will unite the two portions of the rope will be strengthened by being firmly lashed over with strong wire. The lashing will be continued a long distance on both sides the point. This alone would be sulßcient to prevent any untwisting, were that danger apprehensible, even 'apposing the cable to be subjected to much greater strain in lowering the splice than need be antici pated. The paying -out apparatus has been considerably improved, experience haring taught the dangers which should be avoided. TM checking principle will he made self-acting and dependent on the strain to which the cable is subjected. It is anticipated that both portions of the cable wriU be on board their respective ships by about the 15th of May. The now paying-out machinery, it is hoped, will be fitted up in both vessels by the first week in June, Thep will then proceed to sea, not for the purpose of finally laying down the cable, but for making expe rimental trials. The matter has excited so malt Interest among men of mechanical genius, that the Atlantic Telegraph Company have been dotard with plane tor facilitating the laying down el the THE EXPRESS SATURDAY EV,F,NINU, APRIL 10. NW cable aad avoiding accidents. Many hundred sug gestions have beets evoked by the temporary tailored the enterprise. The experimental knowledge derived from actual practice in laying down submarine cables is so limited, that it is not surprising to find that many of theme suggestions, though ingenious, are im practicable. The engineers, aided by the scientific Committee, appear to have devoted considerable time to the examination of the most promising proposals. These will be subjected to the teat of careful expel meat, and we hope that the plan ultimately adopted, together with the improved machinery on board the ships, will lead to a successful result. When the whole cable is laid down, there will still remain the most gigantic electrical experiment over made. Will it be possible to send the electrical signals through more than two thousand miles of wire, submerged in the depths of the Atlantic ocean, and through the earth itself for a similar distance? Theoretically, before the experiment of submarine cables was tried, the progress of electricity wee supposed to be almost instantaneous. Experience has shown that when a current of electricity is passed through a wire covered with a non-conducting body, and that body is surrounded by a conducting mate rial, a retardation is produced. This is caused by an electrical condition, to which the name of induc tion is given ; the cable, with its coverings, becoming something like an extended Leyden jar. It matters little in practice whether the conducting covering outside the pate perches he an iron wire sheath, the sea, or the earth by which it may be surrounded. In each case the phenomenon of in duction is found to retard the passage of the electric signal. The retardation takes place whether the cable be coiled iiss mass*, or laid straight and covered by earth or water. In spite of these retarding diMealties, we have seen a strip of paper which was printed by electricity with the electric alphabet in six minutes, through the entire length of the cable, one signal being the smallest and four signals the greatest num ber required for the indication of a letter. At present no one can predicate whether the retard ing influences in the depths of the ocean will be greater or less than those created in the coils of the electric cable. What experience has shown hitherto is in favour, perhaps, of a diminution of the inten sity of the retarding currents. Eighty-five miles of submarine cable have been laid down between the continent of America and Newfoundland. The Mediterranean cable now reaches from Sardinia to Malta, and from Malta to Corfu. In each of theme eases, the straight cable lying in the depths of the ocean is found to trans mit signals urged by the same battery power with greater speed, than the same cable, when coiled on board ship. This is a hopeful cir cumstance. In addition, the most skilful electri cians of both the Old and New World are devoting their energise to the study of the subject, and we doubt not that before long the speed of transmission of signals will even be greatly increased. - . Whether we regard the commercial enterprise, the mechanical skill, or the profound scientific know ledge which are embarked in this gigantic under taking, we cannot but wish it most heartily a suc cessful issue. To connect the civilisation and intel ligence of the New and Old Worlds in instantaneous communication cannot but conduce to tho welfare of both ; and we believe that all that human skill and foresight can suggest to bring about this desirable consummation is being most energetically carried out.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. triton ova owx PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. It has been taken for granted that what may be oalled the four points suggested by some of the great financiers consulted by the Emperor as means for stimulating businees—viz., the suppression of the entrance fee at the Bourse ; the abolition of the tax on the transfer of securities ; the relief of railway companies from certain onerous clauses of treaties; and the temporary suspension of works—were all rejected by the Emperor. Such was the impression at the opening of the Bourse to-day ; but after wards a rumour obtained credit that the two first points had been conceded, and thereupon the Rente, which opened for account at 69fr. 40c., rose to 69fr. 65fr., closing with an improvement of 20c. For cash there was a rise of 15c. Mobilier rose 25fr. The railways rose considerably. Orleans, 15fr. ; Northern, 7fr. 500.; Eastern, 12fr. 50e. ; Lyons, Bfr. 75c.; and Western, 12fr. 500. The Bank returns are quite as unsatisfactory as they were last month. An augmentation of the bullion to the extent of 45 millions brings up the sum total lying idle in the Bank cellars to the enor mous amount of 382 millions. The farther decline in the discount accommodation, 134 millions in Paris and 4k millions in the provinces, peaks volumes as to the state of stagnation of trade, and sufficiently accounts for the fall in Bank of France shares, which has taken place within the last few days. Unless there should be some speedy and considerable improvement in the general state of affairs, it is clear that the Bank will not be able to pay its shareholders a dividend at all commensurate with the prices at which their shares have ranged for a long time past. There is an increase of 18 millions in the advances on railway securities, making the sum total 84 millions. This sum includes the advances made upon obligations, but it has been remarked as a regrettable omission that the returns do not chew what proportion of these obligations the Bank has succeeded in selling on account of the companies, pursuant to the powers with which it is invested by a treaty of December last. It is to these advances, which are understood to amount to not less than 50 millions, that the in crease in the issue of notes (22* millions) is attri butable. A telegram from Berne, dated this day, states that Dr. tern has left for Paris, and, contrary to the ge neral impression that the French demands had been acceded to, it is stated that he is instructed to lay before the cabinet of the Tuileries the objections of the federal government to the proposed new con sulates. The Duke of Malakoff was entertained yesterday at a farewell banquet by Marshal Vaillant, the Minister at War. A conflict has arisen between the Minister at War and the Council-General of the Meuse, touch- ing the expenses of the installation of Marshal Can robert as commander of the great military division whose bead-quarters are in Nancy. The old palace of the Dukes of Lorraine, the best residence in that moat charming of French provincial towns, has been assigned to Marshal Canrobert, and the Mi nister at War has allotted 230,000 fr. for the purpose of fitting it up. The Council-General, who are responsible that the funds shall be forthcoming, say the thing cannot be done for the money, and ask for 300,000 fr. Marshal Canrobert bay just arrived in Paris. Some of the provincial journals say he has come to take instructions about the camp at Chalons, which he is to command; but on the other hand there is a report that the camp will not be formed this year, on account of the expense. Certainly it is high time that economical considerations should begin to be thought of. There is a report to-day that the Corps Legislatif is to be called upon to vote a credit of seventy three millions a year, for ten years, to strengthen the French ports and arsenal and augment the navy. If this be true the rumours of war will probably cease to terrify—ten years is a very long date.

(Taos oust owe coaxasrowmore.) TURIN, Aram 6. I em sure you cannot have failed to appreciate the great significance which attaches to the writings of published in our Official Gazette here, not only with the consent but by favour of the French government. They have not been reprinted by any journals of the other States of Italy, except in Parma. The Official Gazette of Milan evinces its upon this occasion, though it endeavours to conceal as well as it can the serious dissatisfaction which is felt. It may be observed that the Sardinian diplomacy has now replied with advantage to the insolent article published in that journal oa the 18th of March, the anniversary of the Milan insurrection against the Austrians in 1848. With regard to the special demonstrations of alienation from the Archduke which have been lately made at Venice, and which were described in the Daily News, I can give you some curious addi tional particulars. You are already aware that the Racing Club of Milan have announced the prohibi tion of the races, by order of the police, who wrote to the club on the 9th of March that this measure was imposed "for the sake of the interests of public order." Now, I can tell you that the true motive was their refusal, last year, to accept the sum of money which the Archduke Maximilian bad offered for prizes. The club excused themselves by saying that it was one of their rules that every prize should be derived solely front the funds of the society. The Archduke feigned not to understand this, and added, " In that case it will suffice, in order that you may accept the money, for you to inscribe my name as a member." Here there was a second refusal on the part of the club, alleging as an excuse that the number of members was already filled up, and could not, according to the rules of the club, be exceeded. He wrote to Vienna to ask instructiors, and the answer was that he should prohibit the races the following year, and this has been done. The schools of the University of Pavia, and those of the University of Padua, have been closed for the Easter holidays, according to custom, but some days earlier than usual, and it is said in letters thence written that strong doubts are entertained whether the period daring which they are closed will not be a protracted one. After all that I have written to you upon several occasions about the state of Lombardy and Venice, such news as this should not excite any surprise. I have always repeated that Austria holds her Italian provisoes by force of arms alone, and that all the artifices of the Archduke, however numerous and subtle they may be, will not succeed in quenching their inextinguishable hatred against the foreign yoke ; and we here, when we read the contrary in the correspondence of the Times, cannot refrain from a smile. The facts now speak clearly for themselves, and need no comment. It is said that the Archduke is really discouraged, and that his young and beautiful consort can find no peace of heart, remembering as she does the sincere affection and the respectful attentions which surrounded her at Brussels. The government mean while obeys three different impulses, which produce the greatest inconsistency in its measures. °inlay, commander-in-chief of the troops, would subdue everything by brute force. The Ministers Bah Bruck would recommend great mildness and bounty, representing the liberalism of the rich bourgeo44. But the court and the old Austrian party hate led despise those Ministers as parvenus and revolu tionists ; and along with this party side also the bigots, at whose head is the Archduchess 8 0 pbi a, the Emperor's mother. Hence everything in Milan is in perpetual change and contradiction. Rosale s opera of William Tell is allowed to be performed there, with frantic applause of all the expression. i t contains in favour of liberty, whilst, at the same time, many honourable citizens are sent to prism who yet were not so crafty or so mad as to be drew': ing of revolt and conspiracies.

Doomed pri soners are emitioning to reach Marseilles eve night from all the cl;partemetts. They are conveyed, like the rept-is de justice, in cellular vans. The ar rests were all predetermined. They took place sintultaueonsly in all localities a few days before the promulgation of the Law of Public Safety, from old and recent lista of names, merely marked with the word " republican." They are very numerous. The Governor of Algeria writes, urging for other places of confinement being chosen. Algiers alone has already 700 prisoners. It is, in the midst of, at least apparent, tranquillity, a second and enlarged edition of the coup deka. The ferocity in the execution of the orders is rivalling the Sillan despotism of the measure. Allow me to quote a few instances. M. Lebrun, a notary at Charot, arrondissement of Bourges, department of the Cher, was arrested at the end of his dinner. Struck by the suddenness of the measure he was taken ill. He was refused all help, and was brutally dragged into the van. On the way, at St. Florent, he implored for a medical man, and was equally refused. On reaching the maison d'arret, at Bourget., his state was such that the gaoler de clined to receive him. He was taken to the hospital, where, soon after, he died. Jean Bartheix, innkeeper at Mazannet, depart ment of the Tarn, 70 years old, had been transported to Cayenne in 1869, from whence, three years after, he was removed to Algiers. He remained there until February, 1868. Being then seized with a severe complaint (swelling of the liver), he obtained a ticket of leave for six months, and hastened home. Eight days after he was 'treated, manacled, dragged from prison to prison to Marseilles, where he is now in a dying state and without any medical help. Federico Castaldi, an Italian exile, residing at Marseilles, and there earning his bread by trading, was ordered on the 16th of November last to Poitiers. He submitted ; but all his prospects and hopes resting on his sojourning at Marseilles, he urged some friends to act for him in Paris. His conduct having been always peaceful and absolutely inoffen sive, he was listened to ; and the Chef de tillrete Publique promised to M. Sallee, chief librarian at the Ministry of the Interior, that his request would be granted, should some respectable person come forward as security for him. M. Taxile Delort volunteered, and was accepted. On M. Sallee com municating the information to M. Beeson, Prefect at Marseilles, Castaldi went back and took up his abode at l'Estagne, a villa near the town. On the 29th of January he was however arrested, thrown in prison ; then, without a single interrogatory, sent, on the 2nd of April, to Lambesea.—l am, &c., April 8. JOSEPH MAZZINI. DR. SIMON BERNARD. The impending trial of Dr. Bernard has excited a natural curiosity respecting his antecedent*, which commis ' ideation' from redacts quarters have enabled us in some manure to gratify. Simon Bernard was born, of respectable parents, at Car canonise, in the year 1817. His family were attached to the liberal side of politics, and his mind was early imbued with their views. When arrived at the age when it was neces sary to millet a profession, be resolved to pursue that of m acaw ; instigated to this choice, it Is believed by those who then knew him, by the conviction that he could thus render himself useful in alleviating human suffering. The auxiliary studies of the medial profession were ill calculated to de velop any tendency to hero-worship in a youth of a re- Beating turn of mind, whose first political lesson, had been learned in the school of French liberals, at a time when iJfss Rapokoninsaes were rather in discredit, and when the Bourbons could inspire no admiration for royalty. Bernard's first entry into active life was as assistant sur geon on board a man of war. He was present at the attack on the fortress of San Juan d'Ulloa, and afterwards in the roads of Vera Crux. He is represented as having dis played groat tenderness for the wounded, and sin gular coolness while discharging his; prohesiond duties under heavy fire. Ho afterwards took part in the expedition to the Rio de la Plata, where the French en countered severe loss; and there his services, although he had no patrons, procured for him the appointment of chief surgeon in the Uruguay fleet. He remained in Uruguay till peace wu concluded with Room The opportunities be had of witnessing that chief's abuse of power contributed materially to increase the hatred of derpotiam instilled into him In his youth. On his return to France he finally abandoned the sea, and from that time began to take an active interest in political discussions. He attached him/relit° what wu known as the school of the Phalanitirs : that section of the Socialists who sought to work out the ideas of Fourier. The main difference between the St. Simonians and the Fortrinists seems to consist in the former directing their attention chiefly to the phenomena of the natural distribution of property ; the latter, to those of its production. The most distinguished members of the former school were the Pareires and others who have gene rally ended by becoming speculators on the Bourse; among the latter were many of the ablest erre* of the Polytechnic SchooL The St. Sinionian school early received the impres sion of a fantastic character from the hierarchical tendencies of Pere Enfantin. The Fourieriet ha, maintained a more rational character, but has branched out into an infinite multiplicity of sects. In fact, Socialism in France does not mean • definite political or amid creed, but simply • habit of regarding social phenomena from • particular point of view. There are Christian Socialists and free-thinking Socialists, republican Socialists and monarchical Socialists, peace-at-any-price Socialists and fighting So cialists. Bernard does not appear to have adopted implicitly the views of any of these subsections. He endeavoured to disseminate those opinion, of all of than which wars most in accordance with his own. For this Usk he was qualified by a rare faculty of quick apprehension and clear exposition. In 1842, Bernard, then of the age of 26, became editor of the democratic newspaper oT the town of Tarn. He soon, however, resigned the appointment and travelled through the mat of France, lecturing on Political Economy and the various social theories which at thattimedivided public opinion. His ardour, the boldness of his speculations, and a certain winning kindliness and sincerity which spoke through all hie words and actions, won for him crowds of followers. Hit took up his residence fur some time at Perpignan, and than established Le Names, a democratic journal, as an antidote to the Jesuitism of the Spanish monks. At the outbreak of the Revolution of 1848 Bernard found himself irresistibly attracted to Puri,. As an erertor of democratic principles he was remarkable throughout, but it wee after the tide of reaction had set in that he became especially conspicuous. On the very day that the law against clubs was passed he opened one. His agitation was by public addressee—for which his pleasing and sonorous voice, his v;vacious yet dignified action, his facility of diction, and • certain elevation of Ptetiollll2t, peculiarly qualified him. Some who have heard him speak in public do not hesitate to compare his oratory with what is recorded of of Yirabeau. As fast hi the police shut up one of the places of resort when be used to speak, be found mean. to open another; end be was in the habit of addressing audiences at various please to the course of the same day. Prosecution followed apes prosecution, till In May, 1819, ha was forced to seek refuge in Belgium. In Belgium he practised es a surgeon with great sweets for about • year. He subseitiently travelled in Ger many. Wherever be went his modes of treatment attracted &Retake end excited discussion. On his snivel in Harland he hand his limited means pre cluded his following out a proles siotal career, and Oa had therefore moons so the teaching of languages as the means of awning a livelihood. He has been an inhabitant of Bayswater for somewhat mom than six years. It is simple justice to say that during that time be has earned the esteem and &Section of all who have ease in contact with him. He wee remarkable far assiduity in the diacharge of his duties as • beacber; tar gasses' readiness to amist every one who aced to need easy services he could render; for • high erase boawsr, sad serepaloes punctuality in meeting his pecuniary eisligatiosa As a private individual he was loved and respootal La • he Li always, we have steady remitted, amid slows, enrolling himself under the harmers of no mot. It was to London that be first became acquainted with Orsini, sad similarity of sentiments cemented • friendship between them. Situated as Dr. Bernard now is, it would be indecorous, le enter at proposal epee the discussion of the charges made against him ; hat than am be so bans in stating the boa which we have mow recorded, and they are the pure sad simple troth.
