THE gigantic vessel, herself still one of the wonders of the world, which is bearing across the Atlantic the cord which is to make thought simul taneous in the two hemispheres, has now so far advanced on her voyage that we may indulge in not unreasonable hopes of its successful issue. The adventure is indeed so hazardous that not till absolute certainty has been attained can we dismiss the fear of a total failure. There is no middle course in Atlantic telegraphy between triumph and defeat. In almost all other works of human skill there are degrees and shades of success or of mis fortune possible. A railway bridge may be swept away, while the rest of the line is intact ; a vessel may be wrecked, and yet not wholly lost ; a build ing may be burned, and yet not utterly destroyed. But if the Atlantic Telegraph fails in any one part, it is absolutely and irremediably ruined, and all the patience, and science, and labour which have been spent over its construction sink with the shareholders' money into the caverns of the unfathomable ocean. Forthe next few days, indeed, while soma of the cable is not payed out, the dis covery of • flaw would allow the remaining portion to be saved. But this day of grace will quickly pass, and then we shall either have unalloyed con gratulation or unmixed condolence. Meantime we can only prognosticate from data which any moment may falsify, and hope, with the knowledge that at any moment our hopes may be blighted by causes equally beyond prevision or control. There certainly never was enterprise more carefully prepared. The loss of • former cable pointed out the dangers to be feared, while it indicated the possibility of triumphing over them. In the six years which have since passed scientific and practical men have combined their incessant labours to increase the facility of transmission of signals, and to diminish the dangers of rupture in herent in so long and comparatively so delicate • medium. New methods and preparations have been devised for increasing the insulation of the copper wires, which are the real conductors. Greater strength has been given to the iron wires which encase and support them. Pre caution has been taken alike against the abrasion of the cord upon the sharp edge of submarine precipices, and against the at tacks of the tiny insects which we now know inhabit even the greatest depths which ever plum met sounded. These improvements have been made possible by that which is, perhaps, the greatest advantage of all enjoyed by this cable over its predecessors. The Great Eastern has been made available for the service of containing and laying it down. Thus a far heavier rope than could before be employed has been made practicable, and, what is equally important, it is now all stowed in one veasel, instead of being coiled in two, to be joined in mid-ocean. Lastly, thelhuge bulk of the vessel and her steadiness of motion greatly diminish the risks of straining from any sudden jerk, while they have allowed every mechanical contrivance to be employed to make the subsidence of the cable regular and even. These are enor mous advantages over the circumstances in which our then knowledge and means compelled us to work on the last occasion. They may not give us even yet success, but at least the careful and anxious desire to press all known methods and facilities into our service will prove that the men of science who are the advisers in this great work have done what is possibleto deserve it, It is almost premature, while from hour to hour we may receive a message from the sea that will again make our hope deferred, to speculate upon what the effects and results of success in this wonderful enterprise will be. Yet, standing as we do on the brink of assurance, it is impossible to prevent the mind from, in some degree, antici pating consequences which we all feel certain must some time or other come to pass. How will it be with us, with our governments, and with our peoples, when the two worlds] are linked by • cord that makes every event known at once in both ? No doubt it is safe to answer th►t there will be some benefits and some inconveniences, for such is the sequence of all human works. But at least we may dismiss easily from our minds, aided by the teaching of experience, some of the gravest apprehensions that have been suggested. The telegraph between France and England, between Britain and Prussia or Russia, has in no degree embittered diplomacy, and there is, therefore, no reason to expect that it should have such an effect when established be tween Washington and St. James's. Those who argue that it will encourage hasty and wrathful complaints and answers forget that such thoughts arise as certainly when news of an offence COMM by letter as by telegram, and that • hasty answer may be penned on the instant as readily as it may be committed to the wire. Nay, we may profit ably remember that • letter is at present irrevo cable, but that the telegraph will admit its being recalled on second thoughts, and that such, in fact, was the operation of correspondence in • not very remote series of communications which passed between our Foreign-office and the CZAR. But in truth, assuming that there is ordinary fairness of thought and wish to avoid offence, there is ground to hope that a form of correspondence which brings the two nations face to face, which removes a mis understanding ere it has time to rankle, which gives an explanation the moment it is asked, must be more favourable to friendly feeling than • system which makes • month to pass between the giving of an unintended cause of offence and the discovery on the one side that offence has been taken, and on the other that it was not designed. Leas certain, perhaps, is the beneficial effect of this THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY rt . , 1865. method of the transmission of mere news. Tele- i graphic news is at best very inoomplete, and it is often inaccurate. But those who have thus got hold of the leading facts seldom care to 'correct first impressions by • study of public source, of intelligence that only arrive fortnight after. It cannot be gainsaid that in this way telegraphy contributes to make our knowledge of foreign events and ideas imperfect and super ficial, and this evil we can only hope to see cor rected by its promoting acquaintance, in some degree, between larger classes of each people, and giving rise to a community of interest which will ultimately help to the better knowledge of each by the other. It is, however, after all, as • means of commer cial communication that we may expect that the wire will be most fully used. And in this service it can only be • few speculators who will suffer ; the mass of the public must greatly gain. Money will no longer need to be locked up waiting a ten days' distant advice, goods will no longer need to be shipped on the chance of markets being the same as they were • fortnight back, and a demand will on either side be supplied the moment it is known on the spot where it arises. A development of commerce on • sounder and safer basis must inevitably be the result, and industry will on both sides reap the main profit. Like all our recent inventions for saving time, it will enormously multiply in profit the first economy which it permits. And such profit, in its nature, descends to enrich every class of sociecy, for it is not the profit of gambling, but of honest work directed more usefully, because on ,under information. THERE must be at least one man in the United Kingdom who regards the defeat of Mr. Pure HENNESSY in King's County as an event of un surpassed importance in the history of the general election of 1865, and that one man is Mr. Pore HEYNciev. It was not only the fate of the inge nious alliance between pure Toryism and the Tem poral Power that was sealed by the return of that tried and trusted liberal Catholic, Sir PATRIcK O'BRIEN ; it was the cause of Poland, that shrieked as when Koecivexo fell ; it was wailing at War saw, and at the Vatican, exultation at St. Peters burg, when the modest, unassuming, but inde fatigable champion of oppressed nationalities, and irresistible henchman of the Court of Rome, went down before Sir PATRICK'S honest worth, as a member of that party which never claimed for the people of Rome or of Naples rights and liberties which it had denied to the people of Ireland ; but which had emancipated Irish Catholics from Pro testant ascendancy before it sympathised with the subjects of priestly tyranny beyond the Alps. But it was not only as the Polish or the Papal champion that Mr. POPE HENNINSY must be sensible of the loss which the House of Commons has suffered by his unexpected and uncalculated eclipse. To Mr. POPE HENNESSY himself the result is probably more serious and perplexing than even to the Court of Rome, or the people of Poland. What is to become of Mr. POPE HENNESSY when his voice is no longer heard, nor his presence felt, in the Parliament of England ? There can be no doubt that he was one of the most conspicuous figures in that Assembly—perhaps the most con spicuous—to distant observers. His annual ore- Aeries' performances on the Polish question —were they not masterpieces of suppressed emotion and diplomatic curiosity f His judi cious reticence on the Roman question—was it not an earnest of statesmanship I His inces sant, daily, nightly, almost hourly, motions, and resolutions, and questions, and speeches on all sorts of subjects, were they not prodigies of brisk ness, and crispness, and smartness, and friskiness, and of every other quality that is most charac teristic of an ingenuous public virtue and a patriotic self-devotion? Besides, he was so brilliant • model for shy young members in a new House No doubt he had a "terrible gift of familiarity," • charming assurance that absolutely paralysed simple country gentlemen with astonishment, took the sympathies of the most hardened lawyers by storm, and compelled the homage of the Treasury bench. One must go to • poultry-yard for any thing comparable to such an exhibition of native force of character. _ So extraordinary and exceptional a Parlia mentary sue,cess wu creditable to the Assembly that created and cherished it. And there was no miserable self-seeking in all that tranquil superiority. True to his faith, Mr. 117ANDiSY was still truer to his party, as when he voted and spoke against the relaxation of tests of nonconformity at Oxford. And he was truer to his European reputation than even to the convenience of his party, as when he almost per suaded his leaders to divide against the govern ment on behalf of Poland. Surely this great mem ber of Parliament will be missed next February ; though perhaps it may occur to others besides Mr. NewnEosrE that it is one thing to be missed and another to be wanted. Even in his sudden extinction, however, Mr. Ilmvsssv perhaps does greater service to his party than if at this moment be had risen to be a Lord of the Treasury. He will in bis own proper person have destroyed Mr. DISRAELI'S fond illusion of a Catholic Ireland in a DERBY muzzle, but represented by young ultra montane Tories, with an unlimited capacity for barking, and teeth well sharpened for a bone. Tun commutation of the extreme sentence, in the cue of CONSTANCE KENT, to penal servitude for life, will at once approve itself to the public ' mind as a decision conformable to justice and humanity, underall the circumstances of the crime and its confession. There is no reason to suppose that the prisoner pleaded guilty in the hope of extenuating her guilt, or of eluding the conse quences of its discovery. Her confession was declared by her counsel to be an act of contrition, remorse, expiation, whatever ex ternal influences may have stirred her heart or her conscience to make it. Considering the failure of detection in the first instance, and the improbability of discovering, after the lapse of years, except by the confession of the one sus pected person, a mystery which had defied the first investigations ; considering the inevitably unsatisfactory nature of any such confession, and the difficulty at least of excluding some merciful doubts of the responsible state of a young girl's mind that could have harboured such a horror out of mere spite and jealousy, and prompted to so foul and unnatural a revenge upon a harmless child ; considering all these circumstances, it may well have been felt that this was an instance of all others in which justice and humanity would alike be satisfied by • punishment not indeed iwoommensnrate with the guilt confessed, but commensurate also with the conditions .lot ita discovery and the chances of a trial . tf the trial had taken its course. The HOME SECRETARY has lost no time in coming to a decision, I and in recommending to her Madrsi v to commute the sentence of death to penal servitude for life. i We believe the public mind will be relieved by this decision of the Home•ofBce, and Sir Gismos GKBY deserves credit for hexing made it known without a day's unnecessary delay. be Court.

Early yesterday morning the Prince of Wales, - _ accompanied by the Duke of Sutherland and io small party, paid his promised visit to the Scilly Isles. The Prince and his party leaded from the Osborne in Hughtown, St. Mary, where the Prince was received by the iubobitents with great enthusiasm. His royal highness visited the schoolroom and the church, and then, ao oonipanied by Mr. Augustus Smith, late M.P. for Truro, whose rtaidence is on Treece, drove round the island. The Prince next proceeded to Treece Abbey, the reaideeoe of Mr. Smith on Treace Isle, where he lunched. Dinner was served on board the Osborne in the evening, and Mr. Smith received the honour of an invitation. This morn ing, at half-past 4 o'clock, the Osborne steamed away for Penzance Bay, which was reached at about 8 o'clock. Here the Princess of Wales come on board the royal yacht, and the Osborne directly sailed for Falmouth, which place the touched at 2 o'clock. On the vessel anchoring neer the Prince of Wales's Breakwater the mayor and cor poration of the town, and the chairman and directors of the Falmouth Docks Company, wens received on board, and ad dresses of congratulation were delivered to the Prince from each body. Soon afterwards the Prince and Princess, sc. companted by General Knotty& and the Duke of Sutherland, landed at the dock-stairs, and, entering carriages prepared for the occasion, drove round the Castle of Pendennis over the new road which has been lately opened, accompanied by the mayor arid corporation, the directors of the docks, the commanding officer of the garrison, and other official anthocities. On returning to the docks they re-embarked , and proceeded on board the Duke of Sutherland's yacht, the Coffins, and at half-prat 3 p.m. the latter steered up the river, intending to go as high as Malpea, within two miles of Truro, the Osborne awaiting the return of the royal party. The day was remarkably line. All the ship ping, foreign and English, were dressed in colours, and the eneemblage was immense from every part of the country, The yacht received a royal salute from the garrison on eatering the port, and the welcome which greeted the royal party was of the moat enthusiastic character. A large fleet of stompers and pleasure boats accompanied the yacht from the bay to the anchorage.

Lord Milton returned from Wakefield to Went worth oe Tuesday, and the workmen and tenants of Kiri Finwißiala resolved to give bun unmistakable proofs of their joy at his triumphant election as member for the South West Riding. His lordship, who has been the guest of his colleague, Mr. Beaumont, was expected to reach Wentworth about 2 p.m. A numerous body of tecautry, officiale, sad some neighbouring gentry, forming a long and imposing cavalcade , preceded by the Went. worth brass band, went forth to meet his lordship on his route from Barnsley. They met Lord Milton on Holylend.common. and soon the air nag with deafen ing cheers from the vast crowd assembled. The horses having ben taken from the carriage, hie lordship was drawn by a large number of workmen, and the whole • went forward, while cheer after cheer rang forth along the whole route. It seemed astonishing that such numbers could have been gathered so quickly together, on such a short notice. Yet here they were, tieing the whole route, and mingling their shouts and welcome with than of the hippy children who seemed to vie with their elders in giving the loudest and heartiest hums. When the whole procession came near Went worth House the sight was most imposing and impressive as it wound round the specious lawn ; banners waved, music pealed forth, belle were ringing merry peals, and the shouts of the vest crowd—inch as not to be easily forgotten—made a fine and imposing scene ; while in front of Wentworth House were assembled the member, of Lord Fitzwilliam's family and their servants, and many others. The cheers were deafening as his lordship dismounted and began to ascend the majestic terreemateps in front of the noble mansion. After Lord Milton had received tits congratulations of the other members of his family and domestic servants, he mime forward to the front and addressed the crowd, which had continued to cheer, and seemed bent on having a short address from his lordship. His LORDSHIP said—Gentlemen, I heartily thank you for the enthusiastic reception which you have given me this day. I do not accept it as a tribute to me as an in- dividual only, but rather to that great cause and those great principles which we all love and wish to see prosper. Since I have been at Wakefield and on the road, the reception has been overpowering. I always like to think before I rive an 'Unto, but I am taken aback at the warmth of your kindness to me. I trust you will allow me then to say to you what I have said in another plans. I know you will prefer • few sound propositions to lengthened and wordyspeechee. It ieose of thetharacteristice of the liberals that they treat you to sound arguments, while the tories give you long and fair speeches (Loud cheers and laughter.) Gentlemen, you have done yourselves great honour in the noble victory you have gained. The orange fin has 01100 more triumphed. The tories thought that by dividing the orange they might gain a blue kernel. (Cheers and laughter.) They did not seem to remember that the orange was often inside as well as outside. (Cheers.) Now. you are sending four to parliamest, for you have divided the West Riding, and have thereby gained. On the first election two liberals have been sent for the South- Wait Riding. You have fought well. You have won gallantly, and I meet thank you for it. I trust that I shall be found ready to do all I have promised. I wish my colleague, Mr. Beaumont, had been here to give you • good speech, for he has greater fluency than T possess. (Cheers.) However, you must take the will for the deed. (Here a banner wee handed to his lordship, who resumerl)—Gentlemeo, you see hers a banner which waved in 1807, and when this great Riding made a glorious triumph. (Cheers.) On this banner you see the principles which were advocated then, and which we shall advocate still. (Cheers.) It is the " Kiog and Coestitation, civil end religions liberty, and Milton for ever." (Cheers.) Such, I trust, we shall always main tain—our glorious constitution, our civil end religions freedom. Again I thank you for your reception, trusting you will exeunt me saying more, as my voice has been musk tried by my rapid canna". Him lordship's speech was followed by several rounds of cheers. Three sheen were given for Mr. Beaumont. Mr. MABBZY proposed • vote of thanks to the ladies of Wentworth Woodhouse, to which the crowd assented in hearty buzzes. The park presented • very gay appearance, and after his lordship had withdrawn there was a general anxiety to partake of the hospitalities for which this noble house hie long been famous, and it seemed that these lionitalities wen being dispensed with no sparing hand.—Leeds Mercury.

The proceedings were therefore twofold, the information of the Attorney-General being brought in the interests of the public to prevent the company's building on the 'treat in Dowgate-hill ; and on the part of the Skin sere' Company sought to prevent the alleged injury to their premises. In December hot an injunction was obtained to restrain the alleged enereadanseat on the street in Donate hill.

The Lord Chancellor, without hearing the reply, said that he was of opinion that the distinction attempted to be drawn between the Hotel Company and the Railway Com pany wan fanciful, and ma it was admitted that the injunc- tion could not apply to buildings connected with the railway proper, there was no ground for continuing the injunction, and it would be dissolved, and the appeal dismissed ; but he should not touch that part of the decree which ordered the defendants to pay the beta.

IN NZ SIR LOS= NICHOLSON.—APPLICATION FOR HELLAS.. The bankrupt was described as formerly of Hare wood-square, Marylthons, dime of Notting-hill, Brighton, Dorking, and Herne Bay, and now of Clapham, of so occupation. formerly a director of the Patent Carriage Company.

Mr. Sargood, who oppoesd the application, took objection to the sufficieoery of the notices, which had been given in the name of "F.

Mr. Surma said be should claim to go into the case, be cause he was there to show that the three days statement was absolutely false. The bankrupt, being sworn, deposedthat he had been a baronet about two years. He became so about August, 1863, on the death of Sir Arthur Nicholson, a distant cousin. He claimed the title, and no had had disproved it. Mr. Newell, the parliamentary agent, the whole affair in hand. The Commissioner—What relationship do you claim to Sir Arthur Nicholson ? Bankrupt could not state the precise degree of relation ship. When hie title was established, he should come into pommies of some property in the Orkneys. Before taking the title of Sir Robert, he was known as Colonel Nicholson. He had been • colonel in Garibaldi's army, ap pointed by Garibaldi himself in 1860. Before that he was • lieutenant in the 21st Sooss Fusiliers. Prior to that time he had so property exoept 2001. • year which • gentle man allowed him until his affairs should come in order. Subsequently he was appointed chairman of a company at 1601. a year, but had received nothing from them. He had received nothing from the Italian goverment. When he returned from Italy he settled in BeLisermed ; he was only there • short time, and did not pay the rent. He contracted one or two small debts there, but had not thought it neoeseary to include them in his statement. His next residence was in Larigham-place or Langham-street, No. 20. He was there about el: weeks — did not pay all the rent, nor his debta to two or three tradesmen. From thence he went to Hare wood-square and left rent and creditors unpaid there. Next be went to Twickenham on • visit to his sister, and contracted debts there. Next to Fast Cliff-house, Herne Bay, where he paid everything. He was afterwards at No. 7, Royal-crews; Notting-bill.

At his next residence, Locadaledodge, Dorking, the rent was forgiven on his githen u p posseedon. One or two small creditors there were un He came to town. The Deputy Commissioner—ls it necessary to wry this further? Mr. Elargood—lf you are prepared to dismiss the peti tion I shall not do so. The Deputy Commissioner directed the bankrupt's atten tion to the feet that he was bound to render a lull state ment of all his debt+ and places where they had been contrasted. Mr. R.

His Honour—The petition is dismissed, on the ground of the statement of accounts being entree. Mr. Sargood—l think it in a mercy to himeelf to dismiss it. In reference to the use of Mr. Hill's name, referred to above, Mr. Bagley stated that there were many grow imago laritim connected with the practice in this court, and laid before the court a letter which bad been addressed to the bankrupt in prison, by a person named Darrant who had first offered to rioaduct the bankrupt's case, and bad then threatened to expose him.

(nom 001 OW PARIS, WZDNIZDAY EVZNING!. The results of the municipal elections are still but incompletely known. When M. P. Limayrac yesterday sang his song of triumph in the Comtitutionnel, he had no positive information from more than 800 out of the 30,000 communes of France. As I have before stated, it was always certain that the highly centralised ma chinery, acting upon such malleable stuff as universal suffrage, which has heretofore procured almost unanimous votes for the government, would give it an immense majority on this occasion. The only interesting thing in the history of the contest is to know how much larger the minority is than at the last election, how many more votes for defeated candidates were polled, and in what proportion the abstentions were diminished. These returns it will take some time to get at, more especially as the government will do its beet to retard their publication. But it is quite plain already that the more the authorities contemplate the elections the less they like them, and that the revival of public spirit in the country is making rapid strides. Among the large towns in which the opposition has obtained complete or partial victories are cited Marseilles, Toulouse, Avignon, Roaune, Draguignan, Auch, Saint Lo, Limoges, Saint Ynex, Vienne, Guincamp, Cette Nerac, Roubaix, Eperial, Rochefort, Thiou ville, and Dijon. Many names long in the background stand prominently forth. M. Paul de Remusat, a prominent member of the "old parties," is at the head of the poll at Toulouse. Colonel Guinard, an exile only lately returned, is elected for a commune near Versailles. M. Magnin, the rising opposition deputy, is triumphant at Dijon. Although in many places the opposition purposely voted for the mayor in order not to tempt the government to force upon them a mayor not chosen by the people several mayors have been thrown out. Among these are the notorious Dr. Paimard, of Avignon, and the mayors of Toulouse, Cherbourg, Mans, Poictiers, and Vichy. M. Glais Bizoin, the oppo sition deputy, is high in the poll for St. Brieuc. Flute players, who, upwards of half a century ago, practised by the hour the exercises of Tulon, will probably be astonished to learn that their fa vourite composer was in this sublunary world so lately as July 23, on which day he died at Nantes, where he bad been living in retirement for many years, and was very much respected. Jean Louis Tulon was born so long ago as September 12, 1776, and was the son of a chorus singer at the opera. He was entered at a very early age as a pupil of the Conservatoire, and took lessons on the flute from Wunderlich. His talent was wonderfully precocious. In 1799 he obtained the second prize for flute playing, and carried off the first in 1801. From 1804 to 1813 he was first flute player at the Italian Opera, which he only left to succeed his old master Wunderlich at the Grand Opera. He was elected a professor of the Conservatoire in 1820. So far from the rapid success of the City of Paris Loan having produced a rise at the Bourse, the market was extremely heavy to-day. Bente fell 10c. for cash and 70. for account, closing at 67fr. 65c. and 67fr. 594 c. Mobilier fell 7fr. 50c. The City in the midst of its triumph at the loan being covered by public subscription in one day, forgets that it showed bad judgment in the estima tion of its own credit, and threw away money iu a shocking way by giving a commission of 2,500,000 fr. to the Credit Mobilier, which was wholly unneces sary. There is a frightful job behind this trans action. WEATHER REPORT.-(TRIS DAY.) TEIVIISDAT. JULY V. • A.Y. , it. ge r i W. F. ,111 c D. L IL & --- - —...-- Noire Se• 01 W. 4 W 0.11 2 Aberdeen 129.
