LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4. SPORTING ♦ BPIICIAL EDITION of ths " RXPILESS,* eintsialag the results of the day's RYAS, is pub lished every evesing daring ths Sporting Beason, at six o'skiek. TIM necessity of at once establishing a telegraphie communication with India was so strongly felt by the public, and the claims of the rival lines were so actively urged by their several partl.ana, that it was seriously proposed ia some quarters to cut what maned to be a Gordian knot by making both limo— that by the Euphrates Valley to Hurrachee, and that by the lied Sea to the same point. The Government seemed bewildered, and between the two stools there wee evident danger that the Indian Telegraph would fall to the ground. For ourselves, we looked upon the Euphrates line ea practically lapomible —in the present state of affairs at any rate ; and were convinced that it WY highly imyrubable, eves were it laid down, that communications could be maintained by it with any degree of certainty. We were inclined to the opinion of a shrewd Damsacene, who was asked what would be the effect of the establishment of the line. When the machinery of telegraphic comma elation was explained to him, he replied " Ma " shallah it is very wonderful. Bat iron wire would soon be cheap in the vicinity of your posts and " wires, and the camels would bring fewer French " nails from Scs.ndercon." With great satisfaction, therefore, we learned that at length Oovernment had decided on giving such practical support to the Red Sea line as would ensure the raising of the necessary capital for carrying it into execution. By the con tract with the Company the State guarantees to the shareholders four-and-a-half per cent. on so much of the capital of 800,0001. as may be called up ; or, in the event of the Company being unable to complete or maintain the lies, undertakes to take it off their hands, reimbursing them the stun expended, with four-antle-lialf per cent. interest. These terms are in soma quarters considered too favourable ; some people maintain that a smaller guarantee would have sufficed ; but, looking at the enormous importance of the undertaking to the nation at large, we are not disposed to cavil about 4,0001. per annum, more or lees, being has irded for its schierement. _ . The line to Alexandria will be completed during the present autumn, and the Rid Sea and India Telegraph Company propene to online this line through the Straits of liab-el-Wandel to Kurrachee, making, however, for the present, the first section only as far as Aden. It will be remembered that one of the great objections urged against this route was the impossibility of laying a cable in the Red Sea, or of keeping it in a serviceable condition. It was, therefore, with great eatanishment that we read the report of Captaia PULLIC4, of the Cyclops, that, in his opinion, "no place can be " better adapted for laying a telegraphic cable " than the Red Sta." If experience prove this opinion to be well founded, we hardly know in what terms to describe those who, in maintaining that the cable would be eat to pieces, either per verted the facts from interested motives, or indulged in the wretched vanity of maintaining an opinion without accurate data whereon to base it. We can not forget that it is the discussion of such points as these that has left us, in one of the most critical periods of our history, without the means of availing ourselves of the aid of science to procure more rapid information as to what was going on in India, at a time when its attainment was of vital importance, and might save or lose thousands of valuable lives. It is another feather in the cap of Lord Delay that he has come to a decision on a subject which seemed to have paralysed the faculties of his predecessors in office, and that at length we are in a fair way oi see ing a great national want supplied. In selecting the Red Sea Line, we believe that many important advantages are secured which in the rival project are totally wanting. The Euphrates line, until completed to Hurrachee, would have been comparatively medals; for lee doubt if the half savage people through whose district it would run would have made much use of it at the intermediate points between Aleppo and its eastern terminus, except in the mode pointed out by our Damascene ; at any rate no use could be made of it until the railway was completed and opened for traffic, which we apprehend will take place about the next Greek Atka& Nor do we see in what way the safety of the wires and of the staff outplayed se the line was to be provided for. The Sumas would doubtless do his best to protect them, but the value of that protection can be 'Gaily measured. In the spring of the present year the caravan with the gifts sent by the SCLTAN to the shrine of the Prophet at Mecca was plundered by the Arabs on the road to Damascus, and the SCLTAN bad nothing better to do than to send fresh pre sents by another route, and compensate the pilgrims who had been pillaged. By the Red Bea nate, at any rate, the cable is under oar own surnilleace, ..nd if the SULT to be unable to protect it we can pro- tect it ourselves. The Arabs may perhaps attempt to Injure it at some of the stains, but they are not likely to flak it op from the deep; and the damage is consequently easy to repair, fee it lies on the great high road of the Indian traffic. The distances be tween the various station' an also convenient, mu tinies the laying and repairing or replacing the sable a work of little difficulty, besides supplying at nom, es the works proceed, a mean. of rendering it of practical utility before the w►ole line is laid down. The stations and their dinners from each ether are as follows : Prom /km to Omsk VA new „ Coma to Jedhe. IMO „ JeSdalt to Mama 430 „ „ Cesar_ .... u. complotisi the Ant adios of Ur Mao.

As a profitable oewiturcial specs lation, its gamma would have been too uncertain to attract capital ; but as a Goverainsat Guaranteed Four-and-a-Half per Cent Stock it is cortain to be high in popular favour; and when the Sues Canal is earriad oat, we eaanot doubt that it will rapidly prove renienerstire. That this project will also be pat in execution is a rnattar on which wo fully cal gelato. The beam' Goverement, it is troo—probably bit the sake of maintaining the traditional character Of the party it reprommta for clinging to' obsolete ideas and for being in arrear elf thasmonhes quietly adopted the platitudes uttered by Led PAutaanwr on this question. But we cannot appals that as blind a policy can be long persisted in, and that, for the sake of nursing an old woman's dream of exclu sion, the Government can be allowed not only to eked out all Europe from the most convenient road to the Indian Sea, but also to deprive ourselves of the maw of speedy communication with India, on which tilaea•intenanoe of our power in that country will in all probability depend. Were any illustration required Ile the folly of reducing the traffic on the Red Sea to its lowest possible amount, the recent outbreak at Jeddah naturally presents itself; and the latest sews from Alexandria describes Cairo as being in the greatest excitement, in consequence of rumours that a fleet of boats, manned by Arab fanatics, was advancing on Suez, and that they were to be joined by others on land is making an attack on the Chris tians. Could such a rumour have even existence were the Isthmus of Sues and the Rod Sea the high road of the commerce of the East? and would not the coast of Arabia become as safe for commercial pur poses as that of Syria ? It is to be hoped that the completion of the telegraphic line to Aden may do something towards rendering commerce more active. At any rate it will keep us well informed as to what is passing of • threatening nature in the stronghold of Mahometan fanaticism. gbt Qrourt. OSBORNE, Acorn 3.

(FRAN Ora OWN 001111111.031DIXT.) PARIS, TCLIDAT ETININII. The Emperor, the Empress, and their suite left St. Cloud this morning at half-past 9, for Caen, on their way to Cherbourg. The imperial train left the station of the Rue d'Amsterdam at 9 o'clock, convey ing Count de Chasseloup•Lanbat, Baron Benoit d'Azy, Viscount Duchate), M. Emile Pereira, M. Lalfitte, M. Deleesert, M. Daily, and M. Simons, directors of the Western Railway; M. Lamperiare, manager of the working ; and M. Coindart, the secre tary. A few privileged persons had also obtained the favour of travelling in some of the carriages. Oa the arrival of the train at St. Cloud, a short pause ensiled, after which their Majesties took their places in one of the imperial carriages, accompanied by Marshal Valliant and M. Rouher, Ministers of War and Public Works (Count Walewski, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Admiral Hamelin, Minister of Marine, had gone the day before); the Princess d'Easling, Countess de Labedoyere, and Countess de Lonrmel, ladies of honour to the Empress; Generals Fleury and Niel, first equerry and aide•de-camp to his Majesty; and the other personages appointed to form part of the imperial suite. The train then took its departure, a short stay having to be made at Mantes, Evreux, and Lisieux, at each of which places there is to be a reception of the authorities and principal inhabitants. The calculation made was that their Majesties would arrive at Caen about live in the evening, but the probability is that, owing to the incidents of the journey, the hour will be later. Immediately before leaving Bt. Cloud their Majesties attended mass in the private chapel, the Archbiahop of Paris officiating. A bronze table, upon which is engraved an inscrip tion commemorating the visit which their Majesties will pay to the Bretagne, was sent to Cherbourg this morning, to be placed on board that vessel. . . Several packages have been sent to Auray, con taining rich gifts to be presented by the Empress to the chapel of St. Anne. M. l)elangle, Minister of the Interior, has ad dressed a circular to the prefects of departments on the subject of the late law on the false assumption of titles of nobility. He particularly recommends them to pay strict attention that the funotionaries whose business it is to deliver passports do not insert in those documents titles to which the persons ap plying are not legally entitled. In order to verify their allegation the persons using those titles are to be accompanied by two witnesses to identify them, and they may be also called on to pro duce an extract from the register of their birth. The minister concludes by recommending prudence and discernment to the agents of authority, so that the precautions prescribed may not have the ap pearance of vexations or inquisitorial proceedings. The Petrie, being "of those who do not fear to pronounce certain names," and feeling altogether above that " false disdain which is often a cloak for false (qy.) terror," feels not the " lout embarrass ment" in announcing the fact that the Count de Chambord is (at Cologne, and that several French legitimists have gone there to see him. It regards these legitimist pilgrimages as an affair of sentiment, and nothing else, and congratulates itself that the imperial government is strong enough to regard with indifference a demonstration similar to that of Belgrave-square, which caused great anxiety to the " family usurpation " of July. As a " party," it considers the legitimists to represent nothing bat revolutionary pretension', bu' it desires to pay homage to the social influence of the old legitimate families, who are a very impor tant support to " one of the most necessary elements in the government of a people, the prin ciple of authority." It sets off against the legitimists who have gone to the Rhine, those who remain at home labouring in the councils general and municipal councils, and whoso sons serve their country in the army. Under another signature the Patrie alludes to a rumour that M. Guizot is going to Cologne, and expresses a belief that he is too serious and too honourable a man to take such a step." The Bourse, now that the settlement is over, has relapsed into its chronic state of dullness. The Rents fell sc. for cash, and rose 15c. for account, closing at 68fr. 20c. and 68fr. 40c. Mobilier fell 7fr. 50c. The Eastern railway fell sfr. ; Southern, 3fr. 75c. ; and Western, 2fr. 500. Northern and Lyons remain without change. The Presets says, in its weekly commercial review: A great sassy commission-agents have visited Paris this week to make purchase ; our masufscturers have, however, been obliged to submit to reductions In order to elbot sales. The Americans seem disposed to do business, but they gene. rally ask for longer credit than is readily granted, and attempt to beat down prime to a point which would entail a positive km upon the seller. The Russians are now more liberal customers ; since the last treaty of commerce our trade with Russia has visibly improved. At Roubaix, Terming, and Lille, business Is rather duller than it was, purchasersnot being any longer looking after goods for the summer season. and the period for laying in winter stock not having yet mired. In most other manufacturing towns, however, there is quite as much doing as can be expected at this time of the year. Raw materials of all kinds and colonial produce are rising in price. Stocks are low everywhere. The groat question of the mo ment Is the result of the hermit, as to which the reports are, as usual, conflicting. We think, however, it may safely be Inferred from all the sooonnie taken together that the crop, although not equal to that of 1857, will turn out to be above an average. The annual election of the council of the order of advocates took pl►ce to-day. MM. Marie, Berryer, Bethmont, Plooque, Lionville, Lacan, Leblond, Jules Fevre, Leon Duval, Allow, Deemarets, Geary, Cremieux, Templler, Desboudets, Lachand, Landrin, Coignes, Rivolet, Paillard de Villeneuve, and Thu rgau were elected. M. Mane, who is at the head of the poll, is the eminent jurist who was a member of the provisional government of 1848, and it is a curious fact that almost all the others Sr. also re publicans. M. Berryer, the legitimist, is an excep tion. The council will proceed next week to the election of a luttonnier for the year. The Princess Csartoryska, daughter of Queen Christina, was confined yesterday. The child (it is not stated whether it is a girl or a boy) is the only grandchild of the former President of the Govern ment of Poland. The three Murillo' lately purchased by the State, of the executors of Marshal Soult, for the sum of 300,000 fr., were taken to the Louvre to-day, and will be hung by the side of the celebrated Madonna, by the same master. PAWS, WIDNESDLY. The Emperor and Empress arrived at Mantes, and were received by the Perfect of the Seine and Oise and the other authorities. They wen raptur ously applauded by the people. At Evrenz, their Majesties proceeded to the Pre fecture in the midst of cries of " Vive PE:ape/war!" Vivr l'lmperatrice !" " Vire le Prince Imperial!" Their entry into Caen was a veritable ovation. The coreige traversed the town, which was wholly illuminated and with splendid decorations. At nine o'clock at night their Majesties were entering the Hotel de Ville, to assist at the public ball given there,—Port (Second Edition). EMBARKATION OF THE PJ 38 DAT.) (MOO 001 OWN 0011ISPONDINT.)

Her Majesty's ship was at Rio, the Syren wu at Port Frio, the Mada gescartsP was at Monte Video, the Harrier was en route from Bahia to Rio. The United States 60 1 = frigate St. Lawrence was at Rio. The Royal steamer Tyne left St. Vincent for the Brazils on the 21st ult. The Peninsular mail steamer Tagus reached Lisbon on the 31st ult. From Rio we learn that the news of the new loan having been effected gave great satisfaction and had a favourable effect upon exchange. The stock of coffee is reduced. Supplies have entirely ceased. Prices are ruling high. The share market is inert. Exchange, 26 and 261. Discounts unaltered, From Buenos Ayres we learn that Fazes, the Foreign Secretary, has resigned in consequence of ill health, and Mitre has been appointed to succeed him. The deficiency in the national revenue this year is about 9,000,000 dollars, and the government has resolved upon creating public funds to meet the deficiency. The Legislative Chambers have ahewn indepen dence. The foreign relations look warlike, and the mediation of England, France, United States, Sar dinia, and Prussia, is talked of. THE UNITED STATES. (71011 ora owx NEW YORK, JaLT 21. The gold discoveries in the British possessions are creating a good deal of excitement amongst persons interested in California, as they ire likely to draw off a large portion of her population, and cause con siderable depreciation of property in San Francisco and other large towns. In a moral point of view they will undoubtedly be a benefit, however, as they will attract large numbers of that class of the popu lation which in new states so often rouse the ven geance of Judge Lynch. As far as British territory is concerned I think there can be no question that the movement will prove a great misfortune. It will certainly people the remote and somewhat inac cessible territory which the Hudson's Bay Com pany Jias so long kept locked up, much more rapidly than the ordinary course of emigration, but it will people it in a manner which no friend of order and good government can desire. There is a general feeling, even in this country, that progress in Canada under British auspices is a much healthier one than ours ; that Canadian prosperity is much healthier and more solid, and that it is accompanied by less license, and more general respect for law. If the North-Western territory, however, be filled, as gold discoveries are very likely to fill it, with a horde of adventurers from all parts of the Union, of the worst habits and worst antecedents, averse to ordinary labour, greedy of sudden gains, and impatient to the last degree of legal restraint, the colony will certainly he no gainer by the change. No one who has watched the course of events in California can help feeling that the gold discoveries there, much as they have added to the material resources of the country, have had a decidedly deleterious influence upon the national character. They have made quiet industry at home, and above all agricultural industry, abso lutely intolerable to the great mass of young men, and have given terrible activity to habits of reckless speculation. The national temperament is restless and excitable at all times, but the sudden successes of gold diggers made steady and moderate gains in any walk of life seem paltry and contemptible, and cer tainly did much to; develop the fever which brought on the collapse of last autumn. If left to the opera tion of ordinary in fl uences, the immense unexplored region west of Canada would at no very distant day have teemed with a wealthy and valuable popula tion ; but with " digging " to begin with it is impos sible not to apprehend its conversion into a theatre of great disorder, partly owing to the cha racter of the miners, and partly to the fact that while the majority of them will be American citizens of the worst kind, with all the high notions of their prerogative which that class of persons is sure to hold, the laws will have to be enforced, order maintained, by the ever obnoxious British govern ment. Difficulties too, it is feared, may thus arise which may bring the two governments into collision. The tide of emigration has already begun to set in with considerable violence. Lams numbers of per. sons leave this port by every Californian steamer bound for Fraser River. DESTSUCTION OF 1811 BOOMS AT ANTWERP BY 7121. The Indepesdaiste Beige of yesterday evening contains the following letter from Antwerp, dated Monday morning, 2.30 a.m. : " At the moment I write an immense disaster is occurring is our city.

The ordinary meeting of the board was held yes terday, in the Council Chamber Guildhall; Mr. J. TH WAITE/ in the chair. The board met for the purpose of considering the question of the main drainage of the metropolis. The Caxton/at opmad the proceedings by informing the members of the hoard that this was the first meeting under the powers of the mot which received the royal assent on the previous day. A motion wee made to Moles the board into a committee, which it was Intimated would, if carried, exclude the prase. Several members expressed their opinion in opposition to the motion, and it was ultimately negatived. Mr. Doovrots, who had given notice of a set of rem. lotions, intimated that he should withdraw them, which wee agreed to. Mr. Lomas then moved :—" That under the powers given to the Metropolitan Board of Works by the lot for the Amendment of the Metropolis Load Management Act for the =of the main it is not desirable, either in a or economical view, to rovide for the removal of the macadamised road grit and 111th, or the mad and filth from the paved streets, or the mud and filth from the gra velled roads ef the metropolis ; as those matters can, mine beneficially for the public health and at a less cost to the rate-payers, be removed by the local authorities of the parishes and districts by the scavenger.' carts. That it is not desir able to provide for the removal of the rain-water, which falls on the surface of the metropolis, through the sewers, u it be absolutely neoemary for the navigation of the Thames is pour the whole rain-fall into the river in every district along its banks, at the Dearest points to where it falls, by surface drains, having no oonnexim with the sewers, by gully, or ventilating gratings. That it is exredient to remove through the sowers Only the personal excreta and house drainage, calculating the same at 6 cubic feet per head; daily, for 31 millions of Peeie."

" Sir,—Having read your publioatioes respecting the purification of the River Thames foam the sewage of the inettopolie---and they are to a certain point coinciding with my views—l am induced to submit my plans for which I have taken out a provisional patent, to you. I purpose re caking the home sewage, as you have proposed, separate from the rain and surface waters, dro., and to take the whole off geologically through the various strata of the London Basin, so that it shall ultimately run out through such strata to and under the eta, and the power thus obtained by the sewage water running or passing down a shaft to such stratum, I propose to employ in raising pure water for the use of the metropolis, to be applied to any useful unitary purpose. " If you will do me the favour to bring the subject before the Metropolitan Board of Works, and they should think proper to adopt it, I propose to grant the said Metropre limo Board of Works • general licence under my patent to me the same wherever and whenever they may deem neces sary, or like to use it for the general purposes connected with the drainage of the metropolis in consideration of my having secured to me a life annuity of 2001. per annum.—l am, sir, yem most obedient rerun H. CRICKMEE." "John Leslie, Esq." In reply to the CHAIRMAN, Mr. LESLIE said Mr. Crickmer proposed to deodorise the sewage. He suggested that nothing should pass down the shaft but pare water. In other words, water after deodorise tion, and that water was to raise pure water as be believed sufficient to 'apply all the public porpoise of London. Alter some discussion, and one divines', the whole subjeot was ordered to be discus sed: on a future occasion. _ _ _ _ Mr. WRIGHT then proposed, " That the plans for the main drainage of the metropolis, as delivered to her Ma jesty's Chief Commissioner of Works, be referred for coned daration to ► committee s with power to confer with the en ginser's appointed by this board, and the government referee engineers, and to report to the board." Mr. BRISTOW Seool2aod the motion. _ . Mr. H. L. TAYLOR then moved an an amendment, " That the plans for the main drainage of the metropolis ' as deli vered to her Majesty's Child Coaunissioner of Works, be re ferred for consideration to a committee of the whole board, with powers to confer with the engineers appointed by this board, and to report to the board." The amendment was carried ; end on being put as an original motion another amendment was proposed by Mr. Howe, in the a bsence of Alderman Cubltt, in the following terms:—" That a committee of the whole board be appointed to consider the beat means of carrying out the objects of the recent acts, with instructions to take evidence, hear opinions, and report u to whether it is desirable to operate cc the principle of intercepting sewage, or on any other system." Mr. LESLIE seconded the amendment. _ _ _ _ A loos discamion matted, in the mums of which all the schema proposed at various times fur the drainage of the metropolis were (thecae/me, and ultimately the motion was on a division declared to be canted • majority of 19 against 4. it was then arranged that the committee should meet on Thursday at 12. Atter transacting someother business. the board adjourned. 04LWAY AND _4134104. =. -DEPUTATION ro THE LORD LIEL'TERANT. -- On Saturday a deputation waited on his Excel limy the Lord- tenant with a view to obtain a grant of 162.0001. from government for the construction of a pier and breakwater for Galway harbour, which is necessary for the accommodation of the contemplated American traffic. The deputation was cotnposed of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Sir Thome' Burke, M.P. • Sir Thomas ftedington, W. H. Gregory, Bal., M.P. ; J. Lynch, Esq., High Sheriff of the town of Galway ; P. Joyce, Esq., High Sheriff of Galway county; Rev. Peter Daly, Mr. J. G. Lever ; Mr. Thomas Perms, Mr. Murray, and Mr. Blakeney. The Rev. P. DALT Si chairman of the town commis skews, presented • written memorial to his excellency and stated that the deputation intended to proceed to wait on Lord Derby. Re entered into some details of the large ex that had been sanctioned in the oases of the her. ex penditure Dover and Alderney, and forcibly urged the expe diency of this great on public grounds. The Loan LIZUTIWANT replied in terms most favour able to the object of the deputation. He mid his posi tion as Viceroy compelled him to neutrality, and had the claims of Galway, - Payne*, sad Cork, rested on the mere assertions of their respective advocates, ft would have been impossible for him to have become the champion of one line over another ; bat as Galway, by the enterprise of its citizens, and by the favourable opinion entertained of it by English capitalists, had occupied the ground, and= proved the decision of the mercantile world, be c Galway was entitled to the rapport and liberality of the government. At the same time, in his opinion, the deputa tion was somewhat premature—a line of pukes ought not merely to be started, but they should have made such out ward and homeward passages as really should convince the world of the superiority of Galway over the English porta, as far as regards quickness of transit. Until that was done there wu really no streog casein the expenditure of so much public money.—Presermee Armee. THE COLLISION AT THE WILLESDEN JUNCTION. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON THE ENGINE DRIVER.
