A SPKCtAL SIPHON d the "EXPRESS," eontaining the ranks of dm, clay's Races, is pub lished every evening daring the Sporting Season, at six o'clock. Moron we have been called upon to record the failure of soother attempt to join the Old and New World is immediate electrical communication, we are still sanguine of the ultimate success of the great undertaking. Last year 33.5 miles of cable were submerged, and a distance of nearly 300 miles from Ireland was attained. The cable then broke, owing to some derangement of the paying-out apparatus. This year the paying-out apparatus was improved, and rendered, as far se porible, safe from repetition of last year's accident. The plan of laying down the cable from one shore to another was abandoned. It was determined to make the attempt by two camels starting from mid-ocean, the portion of cable carried by each being spliced together; allowed to sink to the bottom, and then each ship starting to her destination, ace to each shore- This arrangement was adopted in order to diminish the risk and avoid delay. It was calculated that the cable would be laid in half the time, and if a start said be obtained in fair weather the chance of avoiding storms would be increased. This has been fatal, so far as present soccer is concerned. The risk of breakage has been doubled. The Niagara might have laid her portion in safety, had it not been for the unfortunate fracture of the cable near the Aga memnon. Of the cause of the fracture we are, at present, in a state of ignorance. Bat, as it took place some six fathoms below the stern of the Agamemnon, and when the dynamometer showed • pressure of only 22 cwt., it seems to have been inde pendent of any fault of the payieg-out apparatus, and to have arisen from some defect in the cable. The Agamemnon had payed oat 146 miles, and the Niagara 186, at the time of the fracture. Thus, taken together, 332 miles of cable were delivered from the two vessels; just three miles lean than when the attempt failed last year. It must be borne in mind, however, that the greater portion was then laid down in comparatively shallow water, and only about a third of it in the average depth of the ocean. On this occasion the whole has been laid in mid-ocean, in the greatest depth., and it has been conclusively shown that the two portions of the cable can be suoceeefally spliced and lowered to the bottom through a depth of nearly two miles. Much, therefore, has been doze. Enough to en courage hopefulness for the ultimate accomplish ment of a feat, the prediction of the possibility of which would a few years since have consigned its utterer to Bedlam. It is greatly to be regretted that the Niagara did nit pursue the rune course that the Agamemnon did, in returning to the rendezvous. Had she done so, yet another attempt might at once hare been made. It will now, however, be • matter for serious consideration whether the method adopted last year may not on the whole be eider, or, if • return be made to mid-ocean, whether it would not be advisable to buoy the cable at dis tances of every hundred miles or so. Thus, for in stance, the Niagara might have payed oat some four or ice hundred miles, and the Agamemnon a similar quantity, before the accident might have occurred. According to the present method the Niagara would then have had to cut away her portion, and the whole would be lost. If, however, a system of buoy ing were adopted, the Agamemnon might have re covered her end while the Niagara was proceeding with the work, and the electrical communication might have been restored. It is not improbable that the portion of cable which parted might have received some injury on board the Agamemnon in the fearful gale she encountered before she first made the rendezvous, and of which our correspondent gives so animated and graphic an account. The cable on board both ships is liable to such accidents. This seems to show the urgency of adopting some buoying system if possible. We can conceive nothing more provoking than a failure when both ships had nearly sighted their respective destinations. We do not wish to say anything in discouragement of another attempt. With both ships laden, and a suffi cient amount of cable still on board to accomplish the distance, self-interest alone would impel the Directors to make another trial. We ere not, however, very sanguine of success. The first splice, we are told, was made on the 26th of Jane, and was broken an hour afterwards, on board the Niagara, after throe miles had been payed out from each vessel. The splice, therefore, must have reached the bottom, and been freed from all strain. The second splice, made the same day, shared a similar fate. The third was more successful, and the 332 miles was payed out before the next fracture took place. This experience unfortunately accords but too well with the failures made by the two vessels on their late experimental trip to deep water. The excess then was that the failures were made with the old rope which had been recovered from the depths of the ocean, and injured by being hauled up from such a distance. We cannot but call to mind that these failures have been predicted. Messrs. LONORIDOE and BROOKS read a very valuable paper before the Institution of Civil Engineers, "On Submerging Telegraphic Cables," to which the Telford Abdul has lost been awarded. These gentlemen combine • thorough practical knowledge of mechanics with* profound acquaintance with the mathematical analysis of that science : a combination seldom met with in this country in the same individuals. Their mathematical conclusions seem entitled to great con- sideration. It is but due to them to state that they predicted the failures we have unfortunately had to record. Mr. LotiupjvOE stated hie want of SIIIIIIIIIN THE EXPRESS, TRI7RSD, confidence in the present cable, and the reasons on which he treed that want of eanfidence, in our loans}... is have led him to the conclusion the t cable is fu too heavy to be w . When the greater portion o • t as made it was lighter that any previmsllrnott. Its deceased weight was nut, however, carried out far enough. Mr. LONOP.IDOE prefers the cable of Mr. ALLEN, which is but little heavier in the sea than the volume of water it displaces. The conducting material in the centre of the coil is the strength of the cable ; it has no 'steml metallic coating. It is strong enough for every purpose (as is asserted), and so light that one ship could carry the whole length of cubic required to unite the two worlds, sod thus all danger of a mid-ocean splice might be avoided. We have mentioned these mathematical deduci flop., and the existence of a cable which fulfils them, in no spirit of hostility to the inventors of the present cable. We wish the renewed attempt most heartily a ottoman' termination. Should it be un successful, however, there are still resources left, and the solution of the great problem of the age will not be rendered improbable by the failure of the pre sent scheme. Should it be successful, it can hardly be supposed that the exigencies of commerce can be met by a single line of communication. lo either case we may lice to see the mathematical theory of Mr. LONG RIDGE and the cable of Mr. ALLEY tested by experience. If these, too, should fail, remembering the story of Barcr and the spider, we doubt not the enter prising spirits of both the Old and New World will not rest till the teak is accomplished. Indeed, we should not be surprised if we have to take a lesson from the spider in the construction of its cable as Well as from its perseverance. The spider is the best rope maker known. Its cable is both the lightest and the strongest made in nature. It twists not its strands, but lays them parallel. Thin though its cable may be, it contains some five thousand threads laid side by side. If we take a hint from its skill it may even be more valuable than the lesson derived from its perseverance. iN 0, 1)14..

OORUCKPORE. At the end of May the rebel Mahound Hosein, with 4,000 men, suddenly moved against the loyal Rajah of Bansee, who was obliged to fly to a stronghold in the neighbouring jungle, while his palace, with the town and Mined of Batiste, was plundered by the rebels. Mr. Wingfield, the com missioner, immediately advanced with 250 Europeans and guns to the relief of the Rajah, who was be sieged in his stronghold, and the enemy fled preci pitately on hearing of the approach of our troops. Mr. Wingfield has now proceeded along with the Rajah to attack some rebel villages, while a simultaneous advance is being made on Amood by Colonel Rowcroft. Those demonstrations will, it is hoped, keep the rebels in check till the rains set In, and the river Gogra rises. It is said that the rebel force at Bullish, which consists chiefly of mutineer Sepoys from Numerabad (?), has recrossed the Gogra, and united itself with some regiments sent by the Begnm in order to attack Rajah Mann Sing, who is in his fort at Shahgunge. ALLAHABAD DIVISION. The rebel garrison of Ranieerpore have escaped across the Doab into Oade, passing through the western portion of the Futtehpore distriet. They numbered some 5,000 men, with four gunr, and were pursued animocessfally by Colonel Middleton's column, and a force under Brigadier Carthew. In the town and fort of Calpee, after their capture, four gun foundries were discovered ; and in the fort a sabterraneous magazine was found, containing 10,000 lb. of powder, 9,000 shot and empty shell, besides shrapnel, case-shot, and all sorts of ordnance stores ; 13 guns were also captured in the fort, On the 3rd of lane a small band of rebels, with two guns, attacked Raat, in the Humeerpore district, but were defeated, with the loss of their two guns, by a force sent by the Chirkaree Rajah. Their leader, Merton Rao Tuttle, was also killed, with 25 of his men. BANDA. General Whitelock, having been joined by Briga dier Maoduff, marched against Tirohan, the strong hold of Narain Row, who bad a force of some 10,000 men. On the approach of General Whitelock the rebel troops melted away, and Narain Row surren dered himself. Thirty-eight new brats guns, 800 stand of muskets, a crore of rupees in cash, and much valuable property, were found in his fort. His Excellency the Commander-in• Chief arrived at Allahabad yesterday. A body of the fugi tives frorn Calpee, some 4,000 strong, crossed the Janina, by the Bteulpore Ghent, into the Etowah district. On the 26th of May they proceeded through the Mynpooree district, towards Allygunge, in the Futtehghnr district, plundering several towns en route.

Lagard attacked the Jugdespoor rebels on the 4th of June successfully, driving them out of the jungle, killing 100 men and capturing two ele phants. These rebels have since gone towards Ghazepore. CENTRAL INDIA. GIVALIOR.—The Maharajah of Gwalior is now a fugitive at Agra. Tho main body of the Calpee fugi tives, with Tenth Toppe, the Ranee of Jhansi, ►nd the Nawab of Banda, fled first to Indoorkee. where they were joined by Kooer Dowlut Singh and Rahim Ali, with about 1,600 men and a few light guns ; they then decided to march on Gwalior, which they did rapidly, so as to allow Scindia but little time for preparation. They reached Gwalior on the let of June; their numbers are believed to have been about 6,000 infantry and 800 cavalry, with a few small guns. Scindia went out to the cantonments to oppose them with 1,000 cavalry, 2,000 infantry, and 30 guns. No sooner, however, had the action commenced than one of Scindia's cavalry regiments went over en moue to the enemy ; a large proportion of the rest of his army followed the example, and the remainder fled precipitately, with the exception of the Maharajah's body guard, who fought most gal lantly, and brought off Scindia safely from the field, losing, however, 200 of their own num ber. The Maharajah, with his Dewan, Dinker Row, and some 30 of his girders, fled, vii Dholpore, to Agra, which he reached on the 2nd of June. The family of the Maharajah escaped to Namur, bat his pekoe is plundered, and the fort is said to be in the hands of the rebels. The bulk of the Calpee force has marched on Gwalior. Sir Hugh Rose will direct operations. Brigadier Smith's brigade will co-operate from Seepree, and a demonstration is to be made from Agra in the direction of Dholpore. The rebels are said to have proclaimed the Nana as Peiahwa, and Tantia Topee as chief under him. The prisoners at Gwalior had bass released. THE PUNJAB. Thirteen commissioned end non-commissionedeative officers of the 4th Native Infantry were blown away from guns at Inßandar on the lit of June by sen tence of a military court. On the 2d of June some mutineers crossed the Ravee, and, being joined by the Poorbeea labourers on the canal, plundered the bazaar at Madhspore, burnt a European clerk, killed his wife and child, and wounded two other children. They were beaten off, and while recross ing the river a few were killed and a number drowned ; 250 of these men have since been arrested by the Maharajah of Cashmere. • G. F. EDMONSTONS, Secretary to the Government of India with the Governor-General. LINENS TO MR. EDMONSTONE'S TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGE, DATED THE 10TH OF JUNE. BENGAL The rehab from Jugdespore, under Umer Singh, have fled southwards, and are primed by Brigadier Douglas. Tel Stn . gh, the Rajah of Majanpore, surrendered himself on the 11th of June, and is now in custody. CENTRAL INDIA. GWALIOR. The foroe ander Brigadier Showers, from Agra, accompanied by his Highness Scindia, had arrived at Dholepore on the 12th of June, and would join the column from Calpee on the following day at Sa 'owlet. The Brigadier from Jhansi would also concentrate at that point by the 17th of June, and a combined movement would then be made against Owalior. Her Highness Baelrabaee, with the family of Scindia, arrived in safety at Oojein from G walior• About 500 of her troops have since mutinied at Oojeio, and seized the magasine and 10 guns. MUND)3BORE. Apprehensions are entertained for the safety of Mundeeore. Baba Aptia Scindia now has with him 2,000 armed men at that place: his brother has already joined the rebel standard at Owalior. IL L.

With the view of securing the north-eastern frontier of this Presidency from the inroad of rebels on their expulsion from Gwalior, the :important positions of Mhow, Poonah, and Nusseerabad have been strengthened. A wing of Her Majesty's 92nd Highlanders has been despatched from Bombay, by rail and bullock train, to Mhow, and two more companies of High landers and some Artillery will follow. A company of European Infantry is posted at Indore, and rein forcements will be thrown forward from Mhow for the protection of that capital. MAiIRLTTA COUNTRY. The decisive blow struck at Nurgoond Kopal has overawed the disaffected in the Southern Melt ratta country, and no further disturbances are an tieipated in that quarter. The chief of Nurgoond was, on conviction of rebellion, and the murder of Mr. Manson, executed at Belgaum on the 12th of June. NIZAM'S DOMINIONS.

An colllca of Cyclops, arrived last night from Suez, Mingo ollowing news : " On the night of the 7th June some Christians swam on board, bringing the intelligence that of the town, in the absence of Namic Pacha (who had gone to Mecca with nearly all his troops), had begun massacring the Christian population. At daylight the Cyclops sent in her armed boats. As they approached the beach some Turkish soldiers warned them off, saying that the town was in a state of revolt, and that the forces were too small to give them any protection. The boats, however, still approached, and when they reached the shore were surrounded by a mob of some 200 to 300 men, unarmed, who attempted to drag them out of the boats ; our sailors, however, were armed,and managed to keep off the mob, killing two and wounding several, when in the meanwhile they received a message from the Lieutenant- Governor that the English oonsul and all his family had been murdered the previous evening at 8 o'clock. The French consul and his family were attacked at 9 o'clock, the consul and hie wife killed, and his dsughter severely wounded by a sabre cut down her face whilst defending her father, whose murderer she succeeded in killing. The Lieutenant.Oovernor begged the English would not land or fire on the town, as he had the unfortunate young lady and upwards of twenty other Christians at his house, and only eight soldiers to defend them, but requested them to wait until the Paella's return. This course they adopted. " On the Pacha's return the remaining Christians were sent on board the Cyclops, 24 in number, in cluding the French lady. " Twenty-two Christians weresaid to be massacred. The Pacha says he has arrested 300 of the towns ' people on suspicion. An Indian sheik, from Delhi, is said to have instigated the massacre. " As soon as the Christians were safe on board the Cyclops, I landed a party of men, marched through the towl, and hoisted the English and French flags under a salute of 21 guns. "The English oonsul is said to have been hewn in pieces and strewed about the streets.' lIAROMEDAN OUTRAGE'S. Accounts from Athens, published is the French papers, state that a terrible reaction of the Mussnl mans against the Christiana has taken place in Candi*. A young Greek of the Canea killed a Turk in self-defence. The body of the Museulman was conveyed to the mosque, and a general rising soon after took place. The European consulates, as well as the catholic churches, were insulted. The French flag was fired on, and the hotel of the Turkish admiral was threatened, unless the Greek WWI put to death. The Greek was strangled by order of the admiral, and his body wu given up to the populace, and was dragged by them before the houses of the consuls. Tho Christians are leaving the Cann in crowds. The Turks at Rettmo have devastated the churches in that town, wounding several of the:clergy, and taken possession of the citadel, the artillerymen stationed in it taking part with the mob. Disturbances have broken out in the province of Bagdad in consequence of the recruitment (for the army. In several villages the authorities have been driven out. Omer Pacha had sent troops to restore order. Sir H. Suliver has arrived at Constantinople. A telegram from Marseilles states that when the news of the massacre at Jeddah reached Mecca, the Mum'mans held a fête in sign of rejoicing. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (raox ova OWN PARIS, WEDNISDLY Evaxnre. A report of Prince Napoleon's speech on the occasion of distributing the prizes at Limoges has just been received. It is interesting, though not perhaps political in the sense expected. He appears to be actuated by a manly sense of personal independence, and to speak rather in his own name than in that of the Emperor. I subjoin the greater part of his speech : The town of Limoges and the department of the Haute Vienne have set an example in ot ening this exhibition which I trust will be followed. Here we have seen men invested solely with local functions, and having at their head • Prefect acting rather as the first citizen of the department than the agent of the central power. We have seen, I say, these representatives of local authority conceive and successfully carry out a difficult en terprise without any other support than public opinion, without other financial resources than those of • single de partment. Such an effort cannot be too highly applauded. Our national unity, prepared during a long course of ages, and established by the revolution, has now nothing to fear from any esaggaratioa of individualism or local feeling. The danger does not he that way, bat rather in en opposite dime thin. What we have to fear is the absorption of Individual by collective power, the substitution of government for the citizen in every act of social life, the abasement of all per sonal initiative under the tutelage of en administrative centralisation, carried to extremes. I should wish to see citizens ceasing to reckon upon the intervention and Lemu r of the state, suffice to themselves, and rely for the success of their enterpriate upon their own energy and the power of public opinion. I will venture to ray that if to our political unity—the main source of our power—the object of the admiration and often of the fan of our neighbours—we could add the force which results from the spontaneous co-operation of individuals and free 1610Ciar lions, our country would realise the grand destinies con , ctived by the illustrious citizens of 1789. The initiative which you, gentlemen, have taken towards the realisation of this idea has been crowned with mecca The neighbouring departments have so well responded to your appeal that the public has justly named your exhibition "The Exhibition of Central France." Old recollections, bead upon geographical and industrial affinities, have con- Waited to this union. When we see the representatives of the central plateau of France flock to Limoges, we cannot but remembet that these favoured districts were the cradle of Celtic nationality, and that the old Gallic blood is yet preserved there almost free from mixture ; and that, faithful to this origin, the tendency of your citizens has always been to constitute en equipoise between the Frank tradition of the north and the Roman tradition of the south. This central ootutery au called upon, both by its geographical position, the temperament of its population, and the mixed character of its soil , ooceiating of plains and mountains, to offer to this exhibition products of varlosa character.. The culture of cereals and breeding in all ice brinichss—ehose two arts which Sully called the " two dugs of France "—aro brilliantly represented by the splendid agricultural implements of Clermont end D'Abilly, and the magnificent specimens of equine and bovine rams of the Limousin. After alluding to the Aubusson carpets, the cut lery of Tulle, Thiem, and Ch&tellerault, the iron of Berry and Perigord, the steel of Saint &aria, the looking-glasses of Niontlocon, and the other pro ducts exhibited, and speaking of the decline of the art of enamelling, for which Limoges was so famous in the middle ages, the prince concluded in the fol lowing terms : I cannot forgot that this is the first occasion on which I have had the honour to address my fellow citizens since the Emperor confided to me the administration of Algeria and the Colonies. The Emperor, who knows how heavy le the burden of political reeponsibility, has deigned, with a land :mu altogether paternal, to Delos& for me a mimics removed from party struggles. He has charged me to complete the work commenced by our glorious army in a land which it made French by fertilising with its blood. This is a task exclusively national, and one which admits of the con currence of all those who believe in universal suffrage. Ac cordingly I shall be permitted to ask men, not where they come from, but where they are going. Being perfectly free from any other care, I shall be able to devote myself unre servedly to the accomplialimemt of the Emperor's dedene in Algeria, to assure liberty end. wiencity to labour. and to guarantee every interest undeethe'protection, but not under W tutelage, of the public wren. H►ppy shall-PM% after our revolutions and civil struggles, I can contribute to the work of general pacification, which should unite in a common sentiment of devotion to our country the hearts of all her children. At the review, yesterday, the prince, in the name of the Emperor, conferred the insignia of the Legion of Honour on several high functionaries. Count A. de la Guerroniere, member of the Legis lative Body and President of the Council General of the department, and M. lixier-Lachassagne, first president of the Imperial Court of Limoges, have been promoted to the rank of commander; Count de Coetlogon has been named grand officer. The prince also distributed several other decorations. The Emperor is expected this day at the Chalons camp. He will return to Plombieres almost imme diately. The Bourse has been heavy. The Rente closed for cash at yesterday's price, 68fr. 35c., but fell 16e. for account, closing at 68fr. 30c. Mobilier fell 18fr. 75c. Railways were from 2fr. to sfr. lower. It is officially announced that in consequence of the hay crop having greatly suffered from dry weather, the military authorities have suppressed almost all the hay rations to the cavalry, substi tuting other food for the horses. CHERBOURG. Rear-Admiral Count de Gourdoo, Maritime Pre fect of Cherbourg, bee arrived in Paris. It is sup posed that Admiral Hamelin, the Minister of Marine, will return with him to that port to see that the preparations for the imperial visit are advancing satisfactorily. The Flare de la Manche of Cherbourg says : " The Emperor, in his approaching visit to this town, is to be accompanied by Marshal Vaillant, Admiral Hamelin, and Count Walewski—Ministers of War, Marine, and Foreign Affairs. All the preparations of the fAte have, in consequence of the visit of the Queen of England, been completely modified ; and orders have been given that the inscription on a plate destined to record the first filling of the dock with water shall be so altered as to comprise a mention of the presence of her Majesty.

GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE.—If we might pre sume to tender a recommendation to =sisters engaged in conducting the business of parliamentary government fa this country, end anxious to maintain its just anthority, ws would entreat them to deal, on broader and. higher principles ( with this duty of patronage in the election of public sews vants. No action is more welcome to the people of England than the recognition of merit for advancement; no Lake Iv more fatal to a minister than the suspicion that offices in the state have been filled for personal or mere party motives. To raise the standard of purity and honour among public met, in the discharge of this national trust, is a far more laudable policy than to make the traffic in places the maistapring of parliamentary power; and we hope to see the day whew it will be thought as shameful to confer an office unworthily, I as it Is to speculate with the balances in a public account.
