Of all the enterprises of a commercial characW, none has ever excited so much attention and interest as that of the Atlantic TelegranhOstua The reason o this I. perfectly obviate, the immense political Importance of the Company, as well as the enormous progt to be anticipated by its shareholders, together with the scientific In terest attached to it, combining to a degree not found to any en terprise hq . commercial profit for its legitimate end. An en so important, and now become so ounpars- Healy easy accomplish. appeals not only great commer cial brevets of Europe and America, but to the sympathies of all classes in both countries; its benefits to pess and civilization it la imposirible to estimate. The near approach cf theetiod when the cable la to be laid is already the canoe of mu excitement amongst all who are aware of the fact. The date for the Great Eastern steam ship's departure with the cable is actually fixed for the Bth July, about a fethWt from the present date, and it is not too muck to wry that from the hour of her besting the whole continent of Europe and America will be intent upon watching her program His Royal Highness the Prince of it ales has testified his warm Interest in the under taking by personally inspecting the cable on board the Great Eastern about three weeks ago. The exceptional character of the undertaking is further shown by her Majesty's government granting the service of two of her Majesty's men of war steamers, the Terrible and the Sphynx, to accompany the Great Learn, and assist in the °poen= of lay trig the cable. In calculating the rate of profit of this undertaking. of course everything depends upon the scale of charges adopted for the trananisnou of messages ; the first tariff agreed to with ber Majesty's government was fixed at Si ed. per weed. subsequently increased to in. per word, but as the time arrived when the cable would be ready for actual use, it was seenthat the rues of bud. nee this Company would immediately find offered to it would so ter sentralise the benefit of it by completely choking the line, thus representation to the Lords of the Treasury within the last few days on the subject has led their lordships to consent to the Company. until Ist September next, esperimentally " charg ing, without restriclon, such rates for messages as the Company may,on fell consideration, deem reasonable and proper:" and It , Ia fully expected that by this arrangement the net profits will reach one million Meeting per annum. The capital of the Company is compared as follows, viz.. £lOO,OOO five per cent. debentures. £OOO.OOO eight per cent. preference shares (of which the pre , met Mine forms the balancC. £BOO,OOO ordinary shares. The amount required to pay S pee out. bite rest on 100,000 debentures is £5,000 per annum I The amount required to pay the preference dividend of 8 per cen ZeOO,OOO tot which the present issue forma the balance) £48,000 „ The amount required to pay 4 per cent on LOOO,OOO ordinary capital is Making a total of L e aving £ 923.000 per annum supine income. Half th e amount of any revenue above the said £77,000 Is available for yearly boons to the holders of the said 8 per cent. preference shares. Therefore, on the above-mentioned calculation the total avail able dividend and bonus would amount to above 76 per cent. per annum, la addition to the 8 per cent. preference as above, making an estimated total dividend of 84 per cent per annum on these preference shares, leaving, after deduction of even leper cent. for the formation of a reuwal bind for laying down anew cable, 64 di vidend, cent. dividend, of which S par cent. would be pre ferential secured by act of parliament. What the price of these shares will be a month hence, with such prospects, it is difficult to say, especially as the l above given do not in the opinion of persons competent to judge at all represent the maximum probable receipts ; but taking them as the basis for calculation, and considering the continued de mand there must be for messages, consequent upon the ever increasing Dulness between the Continent of Europe, England, and America, and bearing le mind that this cable will complete the line of telegraph between San Francisco and India, it is not improbable that, by the time that telegraphic communication bets een Rimier:id and America Is an accomplished fact, these shares may be worth eXe, or All premium per share. From the phalanx of talent existing in the scientific advisers of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and from the tact that the laying of the cable has been entrusted exclusively to the eminent contracting company who have bad charge of the manufacture et it, and whose staff of engineers and electricians have success full, laid most of the existing elflike, whether laid in deep or shallow NIL it may well be believed that every precaution has been taken to ensure the successful laying of this cable. This achieved, the only her to the shares attaining the high value which every one acquainted with the undertaking places them at is removed. This risk, however, may easily be assessed when I is mentioned that leading Disarmed Companies and Lloyd's have underwritten policies embracing every risk of laying, in sulation, de, at 25 guineas per cent., showing their confidence in the result anticheited. Finally, the Directors of p ate several Companies interested in the enterprise fully anticip being able to report each day during the laying the favour able progress all believe in, and of the events& of an undertaking which all look upon as • national Its who are work. It will be seen front the proposed allotment of the shares that the distribution of them is intended to be made upon as wide a beets as possible, so as to p.m the whole of tbe applicanta the assurance of receiving an allotment, and being permitted to loin an unexampled commercially profitable as well as politi cally important uncle P r ospectuses and forms Dodd can be obtained of the Credit Fonder and Mobilier of England (Limited) (Alfred Lowe, Eaq.,Secretart), at their oilices.ll7 and IS, Cortihi ( g i O.

THE CHOLERA IN ALEXANDRIA. VIENNA, Jou 26. Advisee received here from Alexandria state that 184 deaths had occurred in the hospital of that city yesterday. The deaths from cholera up to the present time number 1,084. 22,000 inhabitants are said to have left the city, but this number is doubtless exaggerated. 152 passengers have arrived at Trieste in good health by the mail from Alexandria. THE HANDEL FESTIVAL All rehearsals, both public and private, having been duly gone through, the first public performance of the Handel Festival for 1865 cams off yesterday with a fair average amount of gnomes, one which, however, it is to be hoped, will be surpassed in the two performances which are yet to come. The attendance, although very considerable was not so great as on the first day of the last festival, a cir cumstance which those who are experienced in such matters attribute mainly to two causes. In the first place, it is thought that the great public rehears al of Friday last, including, as it did, so many of the gems of the entire programme, to some extent excited the public curiosity ; but much more mischief was probablydone by the intervention of the great roes show of Saturday, which brought together one of the most brilliant and fashionable companies that ever assembled within the crystal walls. Still there was a great attendanoe yesterday, and the two railways were kept busy bringing down visitors from a comparatively early hour. The West-end line begins now to be a formidable competitor to the older established one from the City, and as a general rule seems to be honoured with the more fashionable passengers. A third line (the Chatham I and Dover) will be opened almost immediately,' and as this completely avoids the interminable I flights of steps . there is no doubt that it will, bring a large accession to the Crystal Palace audiences I in the persons of all the lame, the aged, and weak of limb, who up to this time have been so chary of I their visits. It has been more than once remarked I by habituts of the Palace that, however numerous the company, a lame person is seldom seen amongst them, and it will be one of the strongest recommen dations of the new line that it will enable hundreds to enjoy the amusements and the natural beauties of the Crystal Palace and gardens who now are either excluded altogether, or who are obliged to make their visits "few and far between." The weather looked dark and threatening in the morning, and those who had taken a note of the predictions of the late Mathieu De La Drome had fully made up their minds to a day's rain and a thunderstorm inclusive. The sky however, held up wonderfully, and the absence of sun only made the glass-covered transept more pleasant and com fortable. The reserved seats were all filled, densely in the front, but rather sparsely in the rear, where distance, however it may lend enchantment to the view, does not much facilitate the hearing of the solos. All she galleries, up to the roof, were filled with company, one, we believe, being devoted exclusively to the provinc ial press, no less than SOO representatives of which, we were informed, were present. Two or three state boxes have been arranged in the first gallery, including one royal one, but the richness of their decorations will not, we apprehend, dimi nish very seriously the next annual dividend. The box next to the royal one was yesterday occued pi by three young Indian Rajahs, in the most splen did Oriental costume, and who seemed to take as much interest in scanning the vast company that covered the transept beneath them as the company did in scanning themselves. There was not much forbearance in the use of the lorgnette on either side ; but the youngest prince, who wielded a formidable binocle, some thing like a maple of Armstrong guns lashed together, succeeded at last by patience and perseverance in staring down all too curious observers. There was considerable novelty in the aspect of the general company. That they were principally from the country might be readily inferred from the broad shoulders of the men and the ruddy complexions of the ladies. But they had another distinctive peculiarity, which drew a perceptible line between them and the ordinary Crystal Palace loungers, who prefer to enter sen sationally, in the middle of one of Adel ina Patti's most bri lliant cadenzas, talk incessant) y whilst their neighbours wish to listen , and rise to leave at the very moment when good aste and politeness would suggest to them to " wait a little longer." The worthy people who filled the reserved seats yester day observed a totally differentline of conduct. They came in on tiptoe, with full souses of the Ilemiah in one hand, and small baskets of creature comforts in the other. They opened their books simultaneously with Mr. Costa, and did not, we feel convinced, miss a single word or a single note from the begin ning to the end of the oratorio. The railway ex cursion arrangements had obviously begun to tell, and new blood was being infused into the metro politan audience. The palace is a very large interior, but in a year or two when approach to it is made easy from all parts of ' the kingdom it will probably be on occasions of great attraction as densely crowded as the ordinary places of amuse ment in town. Before promieduig to notice the music we must say a word or two respecting the extxaordivary appearance which the great orchestra presented when the whole army of choristers rose to sing the National Anthem. Th formed an a udience of themselves four thousan d strong, the ladies strongly looked in the centre as gay and many-coloured as a flower bed, and the men in dense columns on the flanks, stretching up . to the corners of the vaulted ceiling. Centrally in the front were massed the instrumentalists, bows all moving in unison, cornets and ophicleides glittering in gold and silver, and the great drums looking like so many pontoons ready for active service. In the front, calm and unmoved, stood the experienced leader who with a simple roll of paper was to direct this mighty host, to make them "roar you as sweetly as any nightingale," or be still as &lab, according to his will and pleasure. The orchestra had a good view of the audience, and the audience of the orchestra, and it would be hard to say which was afforded the contemplation of the most im po spectacle. sing The performance of the Messiah differed little from previous performances of the same work which the public have heard at the Crystal Palace, especially that which took place at the Handel Fes tival of 18€2. The chief difference lay in the greater numerical strength of the chorus, which consisted of about three thousand six hundred voices ; the [TWOPENC total number of performers, including the instru mental band, exceeding four thonetad. In regard to the principal vocalists, the novelty was the sub stitution of Mdlle. Adelina Patti for Md lle. Mena ; the others, Mr. Sims Reeves, Madams Lemmens-Sherrington, Madams Sainton-Dolby, Mr. Cummings, Mr. W and Mr. Santley, being the same as before. Mr. es sang the o recitative and air, "Comfort ye my people" and "Every valley shall be exalted ;" the recitative and air, "Thy rebuke" and "Behold and see If any sorrow and the recitative and air, "He that dwelleth " and " Thou shalt break them in pieces." Madame Sherrington sang the series of pastoral recitatives in the first part beginning "There were shepherds feeding their flocks by night r the airs, " Come unto Him " and " How beautiful are the feet." Madame Sainton-Dolby sang "Behold, a vitgin," and the airs, " 0 thou that tallest good tidings," "He shall feed his flock," and "He was despised and rejected of men." Mr. Weiss bad the recitative and air, " For behold, darkness," and " The people that walked ;" Mr. Bentley ' Why do the heathen," and "The trumpet shall sound and Mdlle. Patti, "Rejoice greatly," and "I know that my Redeemer liveth." The fair prima donna, whose appearance as a Handelian singer excited much interest, was extremely successful, each of her airs being loudly applauded. In the one she executed the florid peewee very brilliantly, while she sang the other with the pure simplicity belonging to its Chamfer. The manner in which the other singers are accustomed to sustain their parts in thin oratorio is well known to the public. In regard to the choruses, we sever beard them so grandly, eo sublimely sung. The efforts made by the managers of the Festival to raise choral singing to a pitch of excellence never realised before have certainly been successful in a wonder ful degree. The care and judgment with which this vast vocal army has been chosen, the ad mirable system of training so steadily and perse veringly adopted, and the spirit of ardour and emulation with which they are animated, have borne abundant fruit, and results have been ob tained which might well have been despaired of. The choral effects obtained during the performanoes of the last festival, three yowl ago, were not comparable to those produced yesterday. The great choruses, " For unto us a child is born," and the incomparable " Hallelujah," were not more remarkable, as illustrations of the impression of power produced by the full swell of human voices, than " Behold the Lamb cf God " was the deep and pathetic solemnity of their subdued breathing. While we are ooavinced, however, that this per formance of these almost superhuman choruses came nearer than had ever been done before to the conceptions of their immortal author, we must add that it still fell far short of perfection, and that its very imperfections arose from the magnitude of the attempt. The endeavour to perform the music of Handel in the vast area of the Crystal Palace, with an army of four thousand voice., has created difficulties from which smaller performances are free ; and though these difficul ties have been partly surmounted, yet others remain, and are, we fear, unenrmountable. One is a physical obstacle, which must exist in the nature of things. Owing to the extent of the orchestra, sounds proceeding from various parts of it must travel different distances to the ear of the auditor ; and, though emitted at the same instant , must be heard by him at different times. It is almost needless to illustrate so familiar a fact. Sound travels comparatively slowly ; a clap of thunder is heard after the flash has been men. For the musical inconvenience arising from this cause there is no remedy. So long as there is a great Hiutdel orchestra, and a great central Man/kept, so long must the evil remain. It may be borne with front custom, but cannot be cured. Let the performance be ever so perfect, a disturbance is created which is quite preoeptible to the ear, and must ever be so. This applies to choruses. With respect to solos, the evil arising from extent of space, though it has been much lessened, still exists. We all know bow Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Bentley, Madame Dolby, and Mdlle. Patti, are able to sing ; and therefore we can say, without finding any fault with them, that the singing of all of them yesterday was un satisfactory. Very often it was •ma• even to those in good places ; and it was always weak and ineffective, because it was deprived of distinct articulation, emphasis, and the delicacies of grace and expression. When The Messiah began, the fine introductory symphony was unheard, nor was a note uttered by Mr. Reeves audible till he came to " the voice of Him that crieth in the wilderness." If he and others were applauded (as they often were), we have no hesitation in saying that it was because the audience knew how they could sing, and how they sang on other occasions. We do not know whether this fault of the locality is capable of further remedy. We rather fear that nothing less than enclosing the whole area of the central transept would 'answer the purpose ; but, considering the inventive energy hitherto shown by the manage ment of the Festival, we have no doubt that all that can be done will be done. When the oratorio bad terminated, which was not until past five o'clock, both audience and artists became mixed into one common crowd, who besieged all the welifurnisbed refreshment tables with that hearty appetite which always ac companiee the true rehab for high art. When they had satisfied themselves with all the good things which Messrs. Bertram and Roberts had abundantly provided for their entertainment they sallied out like giants refreshed into the gardens, and broke up into a complete series of musical unions. Some took posses sion of the Rosary, others ranged themselves along the edge of the great fountain ; and a third troop hied them off to the greenwood at the lower end of the gardens. In a very few moments the evening air was filled with glees and choruses of various kinds, all more or leas charming, and so attractive did those improvised concerts prove, that the long streams of people who were hurrying off to catch the train forgot all about 6.50 or 7.40 as the case might be, and scampered back in the di rection of the music, forming large black crowds all over the gardens. We missed a couple of trains ourselves with much satisfaction, and when at last obliged to leave, the clear evening air was still . I ringing with the rich harmony of the choristers. it DRAMA.
