Cannon-street, EC.. London, Oct. 20. Cyrus W. Field, Esq., Atlantic Telegraph Company.— Dear reply to your inquiries we beg to state—that we are perfectly confident that • good and durable subma rine cable can be laid direct from Ireland to Newfoundland, and are willing to undertake the contract upon the follow ing conditions :—First, That weshall be paid each week our actual disbursements for labour and material. Second, That when the cable is laid and in working order we shall receive keen, time, servkas, and profit, 20 per not. on the actual cost of the line, in shores of the company, deliverable to us in twelve equal monthly nistalments, at the end of each successive month whereat the cable shall be found in working order. We are so confident that this enterprise can be success fully carried out, that we will make a cash subscription for • sum of L 5,000/. sterling, in the ordinary capital of the company, and pay the calls on the saute when made by the Annexed we beg to hand you, for your guidance, a list of all the submarine telegraph cables manufactured and laid by our firm since we commenced this branch of our business, the whole mileage of which, with the exception of the short one between Liverpool and Holyhead, which has been taken up, is at this time in perfect and successful working order. The cable that we bad the honour to contract for and is down for the French government, connecting France with Algeria. is submerged in water of nearly equal depths to any we should have to encounter between Ireland and New foundland. You will permit us to suggest that the shore ends of the Atlantic should be composed of very heavy wires, as from our experience the only accidents that have arisen to any of the cables that we have laid have been caused by ships' anchors, and none of those Laid out of anchorage ground have ever coat one shilling for repairs. The cable that we should ■unuet for the Atlantic will be an improvement ou all those yet manufactured, and we firmly believe will be imperishable when once laid. I am, &c., GLASS, ELLIOT, AND CO.

A clerk at the lank proved the payment of the money, and produced a letter, purporting to be from the secretary of the company, requesting the bank to honour the cheque. The signatures to the cheque and the letter to the Lank were pros. d to be forgeries, and a piece of blotting-paper found in the priaouer's drawer wee produced, which bad been used, and on which were the forged names on the cheque, and eurrespouiling with the signatures.

(moues Tissawis.) (Per Europa Isi Telegraph to Halifax and ea Queenstown.) NEW YORK, Ocr. 16. A letter has keen received in Washington frdm the C-'overnor of "Pennsylvania, stating that the Federal Generals at Hagerstown knew that the Confederal" had crossed the Pennsylvania border at 10 o'clock on Friday morning, 20 miles by rail froth Chausberskug, and a like distance by good roads. The latter were iu poestsesion of the Fade rale, and as the Confederates did not leave Chatn bersburg until nine o'clock on Saturday morning, their whole force might have been captured, and Pennsylvania saved from the disgrace cart upon her. The Governor demands, in oonclusion, a tho rough investigation into the matter. General Pleasanton lays the blame of the escape of the Confederates on General Stoneman. Washington despatches of the 15th inst. say it is now evident that a considerable Confederate force has moved in the direction of Centreville. This movement is thought to be only a feint to occupy the Federals iu advance, and cover the re treat of the main body of the Confederate army down the Shenandoah Valley towards Gordonsville. It is not believed that General Lee will turn out of his course to attack Sigel, but that he will send a sufficient force to occupy Sigel's advance while the Confederates move southwards. There is no reason to believe that the Confede rate General J. Johnson is advancing on Manassas. Nashville papers assert that the Federals are concentrating a large force at Fort Donnelson, with the intention of clearing that portion of Tennessee of rebels. A large Federal force has left Helena, Arkansas. and ascended the Mississippi, landing at Cape Girardeau : its destination is unknown. Another vowel is reported to have arrived at a Southern port laden with army supplies. Liverpool salt is worth at Atlanta (OL) idol. 25c. per sack, and flour 30 dole. per barrel. The Richmond Enquirer of Oct. 11 says there are prospecta of an early peace, founded on the results of the battles in Virginia and Maryland and the campaign now progressing. The battle of Antietam was, it states, to the Federal forces the most terrible defeat of the war. The same journal affirms that President Lincoln issued his emancipation proclamation in anticipa tion that foreign nations would interfere and thus afford him au apology for terminating the war, and calls for the removal of all slaves from the border by military force as a measure of precaution. It also advocates the employment of slaves by govern ment in the interior of the country, with fair wages to the owners. The Hon. T. A. R. Nelson, up to the present time a strong Union man, has issued an address to the people of East Tennessee, announcing President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, and saying that of all the despotic acts which the civil war has produced none are equal in atrocity and barbarism to that proclamation. Mr. Nelson urges the people of East Tennessee, if they would save themselves from a species of car nage unexampled in the history of North America, but unequivocally invited by the President's pro clamation, to at once, without waiting for the con scription, buckle their armour and volunteer in the struggle against Lincoln's government. "No despot in Europe," he says, "would dare to exercise the powers which Mr. Lincoln in two years has usurped. He now claims the prerogative of abolish ing slavery without the consent of the people of East Tennessee. If he thus takes negroes why may he not take lands, and reduce the people to a state of vassalage of which no parallel can be found except in the history of the middle ages." The Governor of Virginia has forbidden the ex portation of salt beyond the limits of that state. The draft in the State of New York will com mence on November 10. Drafting iu Boston com menced yesterday. The quota required was 2,000. In Baltimore drafting took place yesterday. Only 46 men were required. Secretary Chase is better. The New York Herald states that Mr. Chase gave permission to parties in Boston to send two vessels laden with provisions to Norfolk to be exchanged for slaves or other merchandise. One of the vessels arrived at Norfolk discharged her cargo, and left on the return voyage, but was sent back by the Federal vessels in Hampton Roads, on the ground that Norfolk was blockaded, and trade could not be carried on. The matter has been referred to the Government. The inhabitants of Norfolk are abort of provisions. . - The British steamer Racer arrived at Fortress Monroe ou the 13th and hilt on the 14th inst. The British steamer Petrel is now anchored in Hampton Road& The French steamer Massena arrived at New York on the 15th inst. from Vera Cruz. (Per Jura, vii Quebec and Londonderry.) NEW YORK, Orr. 18. Another division of M'Clellan's army has crossed the Potomac at Sheperdatowu Ford and advanced towards Smithfield, discovering the enemy in heavy force, but meeting with no resistance. The cavalry of this division afterwards formed a junction with M'Clellan at Charleston. Skirmishing continues between Buell's army and the rear of the Confederate army in Kentucky. Buell ii pressing forward, but no serious fighting has occurred since the Perrysville battle. The Confederates were iu large force near Nash ville on the 11th, and demanded the surrender of the city. This demand was refused. It was stated that the Federal force was amply sufficient to defend the city. Au engagement has occurred at Blackwaterßiver, beyond Suffolk, iu Virginia. The result is un known. The Nets York Herald says the fact that the Confederate screw-steamer Alabama has never been in American waters, but only in British waters, or on the high seas, may lead to a declaration against England for acts committed by a vessel having no other stamp of nationality than British. The result of the Pennsylvanian election is not decidedly known. The Confederate steamer Blander has been chased ashore by Federal steamers six miles westward of Havanna!). The crew of the Bauder fired her cargo, which consisted of cotton. Rumours were current at Havannalt that fourteen Confederate steamers were at Mobile. Fears were entertained for the steamer Matanzas, which left Havannah for New York at the beginning of October with a large amount of specie, and has not since been heard of. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

SECBETAILY stated that be had been informed by the Bishop of Manchester that he was about to address his clergy asking them to make collections in their churches in aid of the central distress fund, and he should do ea, not because such a course was necessary, but because he so thoroughly approved of the course of action pursued by the Central Executive Committee. A letter was read from Messrs. Charles Darbishire end H. A. Wigan Smith, of Buenos Ayres, enclosing a cheque for 4W. 6e. 7d. ; being the amount there subscribed by the English residents.

Mr. H. B.

CROPS OF corro, IN ma SOUTHERN STATES IN 1810-1862. The following correspondence has been addressed to the Manchester Cotton Supply Association by order of Earl Russell : Foreign-offiee, Oct. 25. Sir,—l am directed by Earl Russell to transmit to you herewith, to be laid before the Cotton Supply Association, • copy of • despatch from her Majesty's Coesnl at Charleston, oo•twiag observations on the cotton crops in the Southern States of America daring the years 1860, 1861, and 1862, together with information as to the stock of cotton now on hand.-1 am, air, your most obedient humble servant, _ E. HAMMOND G. R. Haywood, Esq., Cotton Supply Association. British Coneyhuts, Charleston, August 13. My Lord,—The near approach of the close of the " cotton year," which is compiled from September 1, seems to render appropriate a few remarks upon the condition and amount of the crop which has been planted during the last spring and summer, as well as some general information oo the subject of the cotton supply from the Southern States of America. I begin by expre•siog my regret that the disturbed state of the country, and the irregularity of communication, render it more difficult than usual to procure trustworthy details. But I have taken some pains to collect the information, and venture to think that it may be depended upon. There can be but little doubt that the crop of 1862 would, under ordinary circumstances, have reached 4,500,000 bales ; but in consequence of the civil war, not more than 1,500,000 have been planted. It is thought by some that the present crop will not exceed one million bales, but I have reason to believe that the supply from Texas has been underestim►ted. That state has been, as yet, very little disturbed by military operations, so that agriculture has been less interfered with than elsewhere. On the banks of the Mississippi very little cotton has been planted, as the danger is too great. It is only in the in terior of the various states, at a distance from the great rivers, that the crop of this year is to be found. The crop of 1860 was disposed of, and, in a considerable measure, exported before the blockade of the Southern ports was established ; but it is calculated that 750,000 bales still remain on baud. The crop of 1861 amounted to about 2,750,000 bales. Of these about one million bales have been destroyed, at various places, to prevent their falling into the bands of the Federal' ; the rest is stored in the interior of the different states. Much of it has been bought by foreigners, who hope to preserve it as neutral property through all the dangers of the war. About 50,000 bales have inn the blockade successfully, chiefly to Nassau. One cargo has gone to Barcelona, and one to France; I do not take into account the product of the sea islands of South Carolina and Georgia. They are in the possession of the Federala, and 1 have no mane of Year taining whether any cotton at all has been grown there during the present season. The amount, therefore, of cotton remaining in the South ern State■ at this date, which might be available to foreign commerce as soon as the blockade is removed, may be said to stand thus : Bake.

BUNCH. CHANCERY Rwroaw.—On Saturday, the Ist November, • new act of pediment respecting the practice of the Court of Chancery will take effect. It gives the court power to postpone or refuse the application of reme dies within its jurisdiction until questions of law and fact on which the tale to such remedies depended had been ascertained ia one of the courts of common law. It is now enacted that the Court of Chancery may itself determine every question of law and fact incident to the relief sought. That court may, however, when such matters can more conveniently be beard at the &Wee. or in Londe' or Mid dlesex, direct an issue on the subject. Nothing in the act is to alter or affect the power of the judges of the Court of Chancery to sit with the assistance of a judge of one of the common law courts. The proordure of the Court of Chan cery of the County Palatine of Lancaster is now assimilated to that of the flesh Court of Chancery. THE EIRBREW OATH.—At a coroner's court held yesterday at the London Hospital, before Mr. John Huniphieya, the question as to the proper method of taking the Hebrew oath, which, since its previous ventila tion et the same institution, has excited. it is understood, no little attention amongst members of the Jewish persua sion, was again the occasion of an animated diacu-siou. Mr. !.avid Hyman byte, the house surgeon of the London Hospital, having taken the oath, uncovered, upon the English translation of the Bible, and merely substituting the words "So help him Jehovah" for the ordinary form of "So hely bim God, was proceeding togive his evidence, when a juror, who was a member of the Hebrew persuasion, said, with great earnestness, I protest against the mangler which Mr. byte has taken the oath. It has not been taken according to the proper form, and is in point of feet uo smith. The Chief Rabbi has decided that tins manner in which Mr. byte has taken the oath is not correct. Mr. byte said that he had already given his reasons fully for believing that the sacred obligation of an oath was not diminished by his not having a hat on when be took it. His convictions with respect to the subject were unchanged, and lie need only say that the oath gnu perfectly binding on Lim. The juror, however, continuing to protest, the coroner said that the law upon the point was clear. if a %diorama ! den were to come before him and say that a certain mode of taking au earth was binding on his conscience, he would be bound to believe Lim, and to administer the oath to him in that manner, and not to prescribe soother. Mr. Byte had distiocily stated his conscientious belief that the oath as taken was binding, and there was not the slightest reason to doubt that it was so. The juror said that he could not agree with the learned coroner. Since the discutaioo of the subject on the previous 00Cell011 the Chief Rabbi bad given biz decision totally adverse to the views expressed by Mr. byte. After some further remarks Mr. Byte proceeded with his evidence, and the subject was allowed to drop. SOUTH LCICKSTERISHIRE RAILWAY.—The ordinary half.yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the Euston Statical ; Colonel Biggs in the chair. Mr. Pear son, the secretary, read the report, which congratulated the propnetors upon the uninterrupted working of the traffic upou the portion of the railway opened (from Nuneaton to Hinckley), sod it was expected that the remaining portion of the lice would be ready for traffic by the :Midsummer of next year. The station buildings at Hinckley are com pleted, awl armogementa are in progress for erecting eta troth at suitable localities between Hinckley and Leicester. The traffic over the first section of the railway (Ntmeaton to }Beckley) had been uninterruptedly worked by the London and North Western Railway Company for the past six months, and the read satisfactonly maintained by the contractor. The report was, on the motion of the Chair man, secended by Major Vereker, unanimously agreed to. A dividend of 4 per cent, less income tax, ou the first sec tieu of the share capital, foe the six mouths ending June, 1862, was then declared. The meeting was then made *penal, and a resolntion was agreed to empowering the directors to borrow 50,000 f. on mortgage. The meshing was then adjourned until the 24th of Nosember, for the purpose of ceusidering, and confirming if approved, • workiug agree ment with the Londe' and North Western Gontputz. Tule CITY BANK OF MANekIEsTER. —Jonah Andrew, of the City Bank of Manchester, was brought be fore the magistrates at Manchester yesterday. Mr. Kiebiud boo, solicitor, was proceeding to open the case, which Wee for spplsiug funds entrusted to him to meet a bill to his owe use, for which he was liable to from three to semi tears' penal servitude, when Mr. Cobbett, solicitor. said lie appeared for the prisoner, and as there would have to lie a remand he should prefer hat an rep ine. statement was not made now to the prisoner's prejudice. He would consent to the ren and cad aOy for thermion to bail. The police sail there were other charges, but the magistrates admitted the prisoner to bail la two sureties of 200 f. each.
