Tams are • good many people, and rea sonably patriotic, who will bear with little or no emotion that the navigation of the Thames above Staines is seriously threatened with extinction. Indeed, they may be inclined to think that to speak of navigation at all in connection with those distant waters is only to misuse the term. The crowded reaches of the river between Greenwich and the Tower are known, at least by repu tation, to all the world, and every Lon doner has at one time or another made the voyage from London-bridge to Chelsea. From thence again to Hampton Court most of us have more or less acquaintance with those barges which are perennially getting in the way of a race about Mortlake, complicating the delicate operation of shooting Richmond-bridge, or lying in grimy quiescence at the entrance of Teddington Lock. But who save an Etonian, • rowing man about the time of the Henley Regatta, or a young lady with pleasant recollections of moonlight saunters on some river-side lawn, knows anything of the upper Thames, or conceives of its waters as bearing any thing more oommercial than aferry-boatf And yet, to judge by the evidence lately given before a committee of the Hours of Commons, the question is of more importance than may at first sight appear. For it is not the navigation which is deserting the Themes, but the Thames which is becoming unequal to the navigation. Between Lechlade and Oxford, where some years ago the water was deep enough to bring down vessels of 100 tons burdefi, the traffic is now practically at an end, and in some places the bed of the river ban so silted up that in summer a common flat bottomed pleasure boat cannot pass over it. Below Oxford things have not yet come to this pass ; they are only on the high road to it. Bat even as far down as Maidenhead the river is sometimes so low that a man may cross it without doing more than wetting his feet ; and throughout this part of its creme the locks and weirs are in so leaky a state that they will not properly store the water, and the lock-gates so crazy that many of them will hardly bear being opened. Besides this, the banks and towing-paths are constantly washed away by the winter floods, and the earth thus dislodged is carried down the stream until it helps to form an additional shoal. Unfortunately the chain of cause and effect runs in a complete circle. Without some improvement in the works which regulate the supply of water the barge owners will not use the river; and unless the navigation, which is their sole source of income, increases, the Commissioners have no funds wherewith to repair the works. But, it may be asked, supposing all this to be true, is there any reason why the disappearance of this local traffic should be regretted t and to this, we think, an affirmative answer may be safely given. In the first place, it is not expedient to dispense with any agency which can enter into competition with the railways. The latter inte rest is quite powerful enough already, without our suffering its monopoly to be increased by the needless extinction of any other means of locomo tion. That water carriage may successfully com pete with land carriage is shown by the statistics of the canal traffic between Oxford and Ashby de-la-Zouch. In the latter neighbourhood lie the collieries which chiefly supply Oxford with coal, and in 1864 upwards of 4,600 barges laden with, in round numbers, 117,000 tons of coal, passed into the Oxford Canal. Of this quantity the larger proportion was consumed at Oxford and iu the towns along the line of the canal ; but about 17,000 tons were conveyed along the Thames, notwithstanding the unsatisfac tory state of the navigation, into the district between Oxford and Reading. The reason why this canal traffic still holds its own is not so much its superior cheapness, since it is found that " directly the water " has got hold of any particular trade the railways " cut down their tolls," bat rather the greater convenience which it oilers under certain circum stances and to certain descriptions of goods. In the case of this particular class of coal, for example, it is necessary for the purposes of the traders that it should be stacked, and on this account it has to be forwarded in large lumps. Consequently, a quiet mode of transit becomes of great importance, and, as a matter of fact, in the per centage of waste there is a difference of 30 per cent. between the railway truck and the canal boat. Wherever there is any danger of breakage, as in the case of crockery from the Staffordshire Potteries, slates, tiles, and vitriol, or other chemicals, the same rule holds good. In addition to this, there are usually greater facilities for stacking coal and timber in the neighbourhood of the river•side wharves than in that of the railway stations ; and, even after making the necessary allowance for long frosts, there is lees delay in the carriage of good shy water, owing to the frequency with which the goods trains are detained on the line in consequence of a sudden moms of passenger traffic. In some places, too, the eosapstition of the railway is hardly more than indirect. Thus, between Oxford and Reading there are five considerable towns on the Thames, now of which Hitherto we *waver& which only prevented of the arrangements which are an improvement in this respect, coupled with a prudent revision of the present exorbitant tolls, would probably have the offset of meeting a traffic upwards from London. A Windsor timber and coal merchant states that it wets him as much to bring goods from the vowel to the railway as to bring Mew from Leaden to Wineletw, all which outlay Won* be saved if his barges were filled at the &mks ;. and he makes the same remark of owls, ben, Dement, sugar. groceries, and generally of everything which lies at the water-side. There are other interests, too, besides those of traffic, in volved in the question. If thenavigationof theriver trere suspended, and the locks no longer kept in repair, the violence of the current after rain would be much greater, and the floods more fre quent and more disastrous. Bet a still more important consequence would be the effect which the same change might have on the water supply of London. The more water is exposed to the action of the atmosphere the better for its purity, and the keeping up of the navigation works tends very greatly to do this. So, too, the navigation itself keeps down the growth of the weeds, which, especially in autumn, affect very prejudicially the fie, of the water. And one witness, well acquainted With the subject, predicts that, instead of its being amaSS of indifference M the London companies what besosses of the *owes of the stream, a tams b seeming when, in order to counteract the waste of water from land drainage, it will be absolutely ashessery to construct reservoirs for the storage at water all along the upper course of the Thames. 'lt is well to bear in mind that in this respect, at as: rate, the interests of the people who navigate the river are strictly identical with those of the pails who drink from it. The owners of barges went just what every Londoner who pays a water-rate wants—that the supply of water should be abundant and equable ; and when an improvement in the navigation would contribute largely to this object, besides securing others, it would be eminently unwise to allow it to remain unmade for want of a little legislation and a trifling -nenditure. viz pgpitESS, THURSDAY 17X11W .41- 131 4 4hm a station --- f i gi • • , Itiallin I h,.. .pet oil the canes_ jot / - % * .

The morning papers did not appear in oonse queues of the popular festival yesterday. The evening Moni ker comments as follows on the visit of the English fleet to Cherbourg : The British sqesdron has arrived In Cherbourg to join ' , with oar MUMS in celebrating the nuns day of the Em perm. Is moue, the Free& squadron will visit Entail. &snow ksowe bow ►he two muskies were lid to lids szehang• of visits. It had been remaers3 that some vase* of the imperial easy would this year make as en:anima t• the Channel sod the German Oceae, on which sevseel towns as the English coast solicited the favour of a visit from our flag, but this step having led to diplomatic emr meniostione, the two cabinets made srtaegemeete for mi oipromi visits el their fleets is the course of the ocemni. Esgisad desired that her 'goodies Weld be meal es the llith of August in Cherbourg, sod niece meat cm graiulate herself on the sentiments of frieadship and courtesy which dictated this wish on the part of the &MY goverennat. Most of the other papers comment on the visit of the Bnglisb fleet in very similar terms. The Side flatters itself that the officers and men will learn some tilsefnl lessons in France, and throw off the aristocratic yoke which weighs upon them and all other Englishmen. The doenir Nationals says : The French salon will give a media and joyous mem tioo to the lapbelt Beet. We shalt emenredly pia some thing by the Intimacy of this peat pops which has known how to remain free. Liberty Is onstagions, sad dersauses have balm suppressed. The Opinion Nationale, quoting the Daily News, adds : The.. ace good words and loyal, asd we accept them with all our heart. Yee! the intimate alliance of England mid Fromm is more than ever necessary in presence of the avast:log Roods* Imusioo is Europe sad Asia. More this ever it is medial that the Wad have but ace heart and am soul, for the danger approaches, sod Mitigation has need of all Ism childras. The Patric also reproduces a paragraph of the article, and the Daily News only requires now the sanction of quotation in the bfonittur, which will hardly be wanting, to give its readers here a claim to enjoy the same immunity from confiscation of which the Times has so long had a monopoly. The petit Moniker oontains nothing else bnt a flaming account of yesterday's fete, in which the courtly writer is silent on the uncourtly interference of the rain with the comfort of the subjects and the brilliancy of the fireworks. To-day the weather is all that it ought to have been yesterday. The flags are still bung out from all windows, and the crowds of strangers who fill the boulevards would lead one to suppose that there was another fête in prospect. But they are evidently only taking advantage of their visit to the capital to purchase the elegancies which have not yet reached the country towns, for almost all have parcels in their hands. We have not yet set- tied down from the excitement of yesterday, which, if it makes my letter of the shortest, seems to have had an exhilarating effect on the Bourse. Judging by the rise in all securities, with the single excep tion of Roman railways, it would seem there is a decided revival of speculative spirit. The Itente has risen 25c., and Credit Mobilier 10fr. The Credit Espagnol, which has gained lsfr. at term, has advanced 78fr. 25c. for money. M. Periere may therefore flatter himself that his party has triumphed. Everything presages the continuance the rise. WEATHER REPORT. .-(THIS DAY.) THIIIISDAT, AUOlle 17. S A.Y. 1 L T. W. Ile /k D. i I.

(arum's TZLNAAIL ) OROOKRAViaI, Amon 17. The Great Eastern arrived off here this morning, and furnishes the following particulars of the operations for laying the Atlantic telegraph cable, which, it will be seen, have failed : The Great Eastern sailed from Valentia, after making the splice with the shore end on the 23rd July, and continued on her voyage to lat. 5L25, long. 39.6, being 1,063 miles from Valentin and 600 miles from Heart's Content, Trinity Bay, New foundland. She had then paid out 1,212 miles of cable, when it parted, on the 2nd August, at 12.35 p.m., in soundings of 3,900 yards, under the following circumstances :—A partial loss of in sulation having been discovered, the Greet Eastern was stopped to recover that portion of the cable in ♦hich the fault lay, electrical tests placing it pro bably within six miles. The cable was passed from the stern to the bow of the ship for this purpose, and, after getting in two miles of cable, the fault being still overboard, the cable I broke about 10 yards in board of the wheel at the beer, having been injured by chafing on the stern of the ship. Two previous faults had been discovered, the first in soundings of about 4,000 yards and the second in about 4,100 yards, and had been successfully recovered and made good ; in the first case ten I miles, and in the second two miles and' a half, of cable were hauled in. After the able parted a grapnel with two and a half nautical miles of rope was lowered I down, the ship being placed so as to drift I over the line of cable. The cable was hooked on the 3rd, and when 2,200 yards of the rope had been I hauled in, a swivel in the latter gave way, and 1 2,800 yards of rope were lost, the cable having been lifted 1,200 yards from the bottom. On the 4th a buoy, with a slag and ball, was moored with 500 yards of rope, to mark the place. It is in lat. 51.35, long. 38.42.30. From the 4th fogs and adverse winds prevented a further attempt until the 7th, which was then made nearer the sad of the cable, and was sinsucoesaful from the same cause when the cable had been lifted about 1,000 yards. Another buoy was here placed in let. 51.28.30, long. 38.56.9. A third attempt was made on the 10th, which failed on account of the grapnel chain having fouled the flukes of the grapnel. The grapnel said last 800 yards of rope came up covered with ooze. A fourth attempt was made on the 11th, at 3 p.m., which also failed through the breaking of the grapnel rope, when the cable had been raised 600 yards from the bottom. The stock of rope having now become exhausted, it became absolutely necessary to proceed to Eng land for more and stronger tackle. The practical conclusions unanimously arrived at by those engaged in various capacities in the expe dition are as follow : 1. That the steam ship Great Eastern, from her size and consequent steadinww, together with the better control obtained over her by having both puddles and screw, render it possible and safe to lay an - Atlantic telegraph cable in any weather. 2. That the paying-out machinery, constructed for the purpose by Messrs. B. Canning and Clif ford, worked perfectly and can be confidently relied on. 3. That the insulation of the gutta percha covered conductor improved when submerged to more than double what it had been before starting, and has proved itself to be the beet insulated cable ever manufactured, and many times higher than the standard required by the contract. The cause of the two faults which were recovered was in each case a perforation of the gutta percha through to the proper conductor by a piece of iron wire found sticking in the cable. Elec trically the third fault was analogous to the first. The difficulty may be provided against in future. 4. That nothing has clammed to create the least doubt in the minds of those engaged in the expedition of the practicability of a sue ceseful laying and working of an Atlantic cable, but, on the contrary, their confidence has been largely increased by the experience obtained on this voyage. 5. That were the Great Eastern steamship sup plied with sufficiently strong tackle and hauling fn machinery for depths of 4,000 to 5,000 yards, there is little or no doabt of the pos lsibility of recovering the lost end of the cable, and llcompleting the line, already about two-thirds laid. The Great Eastern proceeds direct to Sheerness. All well on board. She reports having parted company with H.IL S. Sphyux a few days after starting. The weather was for the most part very calm, but often foggy and rainy. A stiff breeze blew on two days, but although the sea washed over the Terrible, scarcely any motion was observable on board the Great Eastern, her greatest roll being 7} degrees and her greatest pitching 1 to 1/ de- L grees. The cable paid out beautifully, and owing to its diameter and lightness the strain required to prevent the too rapid egress never exceeded 14 cwt. lts angle with the horizon duringthe paying out rarely exceeded 91 degrees. No difficulty whatever was experienced in mooring the buoys in the deepest water, two having been left behind moored with pieces of cable that had been picked up from a depth of two miles. One of them rode out a stiff summer gale its position after nine days being unchanged. Cap tain Moriarty's chrouoineters found the true posi tion of the ship to within a fraction of a mile. The Terrible has sailed for Newfoundland to coal. OFFICIAL TBLIGRAM FROM MB,. VARLET.

A preemies wag formed, imethd lug the Lord Chance:lor. the Marquis of 8 anbury, the lord Mayor, and the members of the committee, sad a complete circuit and careful examinttioa made of the exhibition.

The next proem/log wee the sluing by the choir of the chorale composed by tho late Prim Casson— " Awake my Glmy "—and at its conclusion the Lord Chancellor wishedabsfore parting, to address a few wends to the oompeey. He bad. be arid, whoa tint asked to preside oa that melon, expressed, is all enmity, his doubts of his fitness for the task ; bat subsequently, wimmlbe remem bered how few of ear leadiag personages were in town at this moon of the year, be determined. however reluctantly, to secede to the request of Mr. Kin. Most of them who heard him were old then& to remember the Kthibitioo of 1851, wh'cli owed its existenoe to the practical wisdom and judgeseot el the We Prim Osman. He (Lord Craaworth) mu%t confess that at Mt be was not very minas as to the SNOWS of that exhibitioe, but the result showed bow much England and the world were in debted to the illustrious individual with whom it origi nated. At launch of four and eines years that mid. bition was imitated by our neighbours &MIS the channel. and then the illastaona origiestow of the 1851 exhibithin conceived the plan of that of 1882. Providence in its b urnable wisdom prevented kis send Weans from wit nessing the triumph of thin work, but cm result was the establishment on a more extended basis of the Kensington Museum—in his Pediment • mad valuable inetitutiss, as enabling the working ma to study the best models in the doer menacing arta. However, Sum idle to suppose that the 3410,000 working men living in the moth* east of Loudon could go to Kensington ' • Lidera, a ealesla tion had be m handed to him showng that four visits to Kensington would cut the work* ma equivalent to two and-a-half days of his war king time. Inch being the ease it had ben suggested that greater facilities for art @iodise might be given by the retablishmeet of loyal samarms, sod it was the proud distinction of the district in which he then stood that it hat taken the initiative in this most important monmeet. Amongst its population wen the makers of borological, philosophical, sad photographic instranteets„ and it ems most desirable that they should have within reach lurch a museum as it was hoped now to telatilmit. In fact it was an Sadist seeable spumes to free trade. for if we permitted foreign workmen to sass in anal empola la the English market, it anus only fair that the &Wish work- Mall should have the rams of staying. and of ourgraming if possible, the points in which his foreign competitor beat him. This could arty be done by °diaries in a mans= specimens of all the artistic workmanship of the sod tires efore he trusted the time was not far distant when they would have to open such a 'alludes os the spot where be stood. Another advantage el such • serum, se well as of similar institutions. would be to lemon /mbile el temperance amongst workingmen. He was old um& to remember when habits of intempersace were considered to be no disgrace in the very highest ranks of society, whereas now they were completely exploded. He hoped to see similar results set working MINI ; but what would load to them would be, not repressive laws, but the issiitution of setae bliehmeets like the present, which would amuse whilst they instructed, and would have the effect of rendering tame , mot attractive. After one or two further therm Lions, his lordship concluded his impressive sad judicious address with • Scriptural quotation illustrative of the dig. pity of labour. The Marquis of Salisbury followed with • brief expression of thaaks to his lordship for penidiarg. and the proosediop tenainalted with the National Anthem, sung in full chores by the entire company. We have been requested to mention a very ingenious and beautiful metal pictorw frame, the work of • lody, which are it present In a position not si conspicuous as their merits 'retitle times to, but which will be" in the right line" in • few days.
