It has also granted rewards amounting to £515 10s. for saving 373 shipwrecked persons, by shore-boats and other means, mak ing a total of 871 persons saved from a watery grave during the last two years. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, and other means, since its formation, is upwards of 12,2 0 : for which services 82 Gold Medals, 704 Silver Medals, and £15,250 in cash have been granted as rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £57,200 on Life-boat Establishments. The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorous efforts now being made by the Society to save the lives of Ship wrecked Crews. Their help was never more needed than at the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions the Society has made within the past few years, it has now One Hundred and Twenty-one Life-boats under its man agement, for the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.

Much of the recent difficulty in getting more cotton from India has arisen from the time occupied in communicating with Calcutta from England. Before mercantile transactions in cotton could be effected at Calcutta, fears were entertained that American news might render such transactions unprofitable. It is a maxim that the quicker the communication between the different marts of com merce throughout the world the safer can all kinds of business be carried on. This is proved by the large and continually increasing revenues derived by telegraph companies even when they only par tially connect distant markets. A merchant living ten or twelve thousand miles distant may give an order for thousands of pounds' worth of goods, and before the order arrives the markets may have communication r fe order. ua pit slaidcaptain up passage, And in a in The withh n the changed, and a serious loss ensue, but no merchant would ever complain of being enabled to delay giv ing an o r d er f or goo d s until within a few hours when it would b e necessary for the seller to execute the twelve month ago an Indian liner left London. After a f whichalmost new Calcutta s hospital pt hwiteaa reachedls ow tffihi nearly teehei England. But letters announcing their recovery and departure were given to some one to post, who .5r d c s hf wrecked,friends and l e e n r a sra crew were d oet sr a the w in it is believed destroyed the letters for the sake of keeping the postage money. For three months the na te ab s e luxuryn t friends in England of those poor fellows were kept in an agony of suspense until their arrival home a few weeks since. A telegram from England, and one from Calcutta, would have prevented this suspense. No one has failed to notice the tone of anxiety of foreign correspon dence between friends and relatives, so unlike the confidence of personal intercourse. The children whom you inquire playfully after may be dead and buried, and their parents may be mourning the loss when they receive your letter three weeks or two months after it has been written. The dominion which was given us over the inferior animals has been surpassed by our power over the secret forces of nature. We have tamed steam and trained light for the purpose of rapid locomotion and obtaining transcripts of all material forms, but the adaptation of electricity to the concentration of instantaneous intelligence of what is going on in different parts of the globe is, perhaps, the most marvellous in stance of human power, and a comparatively cheap telegraphic communication to the most distant places will be one of the completest blessings which Science ever conferred upon mankind. —Daily News, PRICE. .... ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. OCEAN TELEGRAPHY. The failure of the Atlantic telegraph was dis heartening. A feeling then prevailed that to con nect Europe and America telegraphically ,was an object which science and wealth, skill a nd enter prise, must fail to accomplish. The successful lay ing down of ocean telegraph cables is a result of immense importance to the whole civilised world; but to the greatest of all commercial and colonial Powers such a conquest of time and space is a vital question. How often are vast interests alarmed and imperilled for want of the means of instant and secret communication ? This is an experience which events repeatedly confirm. In a short time there will be about 200,000 miles of electric tele graph wire in all parts of the world, estimated to yield an income of about five millions sterling annu ally. The United Kingdom, Europe, and North eastern America are at present covered with a net work of telegraphic wires. In other parts of the world also vastly extended lines of telegraphic wires exist, such as thoSe between San Francisco Ift/TeNLG: York, Kurrachee and Rangooein India, - and l~ bane and Adelaide in Australia. The electric tele graph in the United Kingdom alone yields an annual revenue of about £lO for every mile of wire. The Malta and Egypt submarine cable, about 1,000 miles in iength,isyielding nearly £l,OOO per week. As this cable has been successfully laid, the project of connecting telegraphically the west coast of Ire land and Newfoundland, a distance of 1,700 miles, is now revived: If this can be done it would be all that is desired for the interests of Great Britain in communicating with America, because the termini will be in British territory. If, however, such a cable cannot be successfully submerged with our present mechanical appliances, other schemes for connecting the Old and New World are in a forward state, and for the accomplishment of which there will be no difficulty as far as length of sea cable is concerned. Such, for instance, are the schemes for connecting Europe and America by way of Iceland, Greenland, and Labrador, by way of Cadiz, the Cape de Verds, St. Paul, and Brazil, and by way of Russia, Siberia, and the Aleutian isles. If India cannot be reached by ocean cables, telegraphic com munication will certainly be made by way of Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, and the Euphrates. As no mode of communicating with India can completely satisfy this country unless our Government can have uncontrolled power over the telegraph, and which cannot be the case if the intervening wires pass through a foreign country, we are seeing to the reconstruction or repairing of our sea cables towards the East. It has been already mentioned that a fresh cable has been successfully laid down between Alexan dria and Malta, therefore nothing can prevent us now from connecting telegraphically by sea lines Malta and Gibraltar, and Gibraltar and Falmouth, whenever we please, because each cable will not be of greater length than the Malta and Alexandrian one. In a month's time a cable will be submerged between Suez and Jubal, in the Red Sea. This will be only 300 miles long, and therefore easily effected ; and immediate steps are to be made to repair the cable between Aden and Kurrachee. Before Easter, probably, we shall be able to com municate with all parts of India in five days, with Hong Kong in 20 days, and with Australia in 26 days, and when the Australian land line is ex tended from Adelaide to Perth, in Western Aus tralia, in 22 days. Russia is now strenuously exerting herself to reach China, Japan, and_even_the United States by telegraph beforl Englarid,can do so, except by the use of Russiar. wires. Estafettes regularly run between Pekin and the telegraph stations in Asiatic Russia. Disputes have arisen between the United States and Russian telegraphic engineers as to the best route for passing the telegraph wires from Asia to America. The former, knowingthe cheapness, safety, and permanence of land wires from experience, are:for Behring Straits route—the latter for the route by Kamschatka and the Aleu tian Isles. Some English writers appear to think that the sparseness of population in Eastern Siberia and Russian America will prove an insurmountable objection to the Behring Straits route. But this very sparseness will secure the wires from injury. Besides the complete control which Russia knows how to exercise over the remotest parts of her dominions will enable her to protect the wires. Russia will find no greater difficulty in doing this than the United States Government has found in protecting the wires from San Francisco to the Western Atlantic through a country of wild In dians. As to the weather, so far north as Behring Straits it will not be more formidable than in Labrador or Greenland, where it has been pro nounced by competent navigators and electral engi neers to be no insuperable bar to telegraphic wires and cables. The struggle between England and Russia to reach the far East by telegraph will be a fierce one. England will manage by-and-bye to creep up the Red Sea from Jubal, and by repairing the cable in the Arabian sea we shall have an un broken telegraph line from Malta to Rangoon, over which we shall have complete control, for the short telegraphic communication between Alexandria and Suez is completely in our hands. To extend the line from Rangoon to Singapore will not be difficult: The French and Spanish possessions in Cochin China will assist us up to Hong Kong, and from thence the route to Pekin by way of Amoy, Shanghai, and Gulf of Pecheli will be easy. From Shanghai a telegraph cable, only 500 miles long, would reach Nagasaki, in Japan. In the spring of the present year it is not impos sible that the steam packet communication between Galway and St. John's, Newfoundland, may be re established, and intelligence from all parts of the United States and British North America would then reach us in six days. The New York, Boston, Halifax, and Portland packets must then make a point of regularly getting news by telegraph from Cape Race, in order to keep pace with the Irish packets. At the present time the former steamers pass Cape Race upwards of 400 times in the course of a year, and five times out of six they fail to get or convey intelligence from that point. Some effective plan ought to be organised to communicate with every Transatlantic packet passing the south-eastern point of Newfound land, or the Galway boats will beat the Queens town and Londonderry steamers in priority of in telligence by 3 or 4 days. When the Canadian telegraph is extended to the mouth of the St. Law rence, which is shortly to be done, even the summer Canadian mail packets, which travel the B e lle Isle r oute, will beat the Cunard steamers in priority of latter news from the United States, if th e latt ships do n ot get late intelligence from Ca p e Race. One great defect of the electric telegraph at:pre. sent is the difficulty of transmitting simultaneous messages, either in the sa me or in op p osite direc tions on the same wire. hence, where there is m uc h traffic numerous wires have to be ere c t e d, w hi c h appear on our railway lines like musical s t aves, an d which add immensely to the cost of t e l egraph i c messages . It is not improbable that this difficulty will one day b e o vercome, and the tra nsm i ss i on o f separate telegrams, in the same or in opposite direc tions, at the same time and en the same wire, be effected. Nature exhibits phenomena something similar to this when the vibrations of the air or the d n light, though crossed or overtaken by h or undulations, convey sounds un other undulations os vibrations of Or images to the ear or eye without distortion or confusion. The transmission of simultaneous tele wire would be a consummate gra ms along On e triumph of electric telegraphy. Politically, commercially, and socially, the electric telegraph is destined to confer vast benefits. If Earl Russell's despatch to Lord Lyons on the Trent affair had been transmitted to Washington in 19 minutes, instead of in 19 days, we should have had news of the liberation of Messrs.

FORTIFICATIONS FOR THE BRISTOL CHANNEL. - The unprotected state of the Bri3tol Channel has for some time been under the attentive considera tion of the Government. It is manifest that an arm of the sea, extending into the heart of the em pire, and hitherto presenting no difficulties what ever to an invading force, except such as arise from the intricacies of the navigation, would afford abundant opportunites for privateering and for in flicting serious injury upon our commerce. Between Glocester and the Land's end there is not a single fort of any description, nor any harbour accessible at all times of the tide, into which a vessel pursued by an enemy or drivenbystress of weather may run for shelter. The site selected by the Government for the con struction of a line of fortifications for the protection of the ports existing in the upper part of the Bristol Channel is the range of hills extending from east to west, at the southern extremity of Uphill-bay, near Weston-super-Mare, and connected with the opposite coast near Penarth, South Cardiff, by means of two islands lying nearly equi-distant from other, and called the Steep and Flat Holmes. Brean down the name of the promontory on the Somerset shire coast, rises precipitously from flat marshy lands at its base, and extends at a considerable ele vation for about a mile and a half into the Bristol Channel, immediately opposite the Steep Holmes, from which it is separated by an interval of 4,000 yards. At its extreme western point the down farms a broad platform of land after a somewhat gradual descent, its sides on the north and south throughout their whole extent being of a steep and rugged character with a breadth of table-land along the summit. Upon the platform at the extreme western point, which is at an elevation excellently adapted for a large battery, the guns will be placed. The forti fications will be continued by double batteries on each side of the Steep and Flat Holmes, presenting a cross fire of the most formidable character, being nowhere more than a range of 2,000 yards, and they will thence be carried on to Lavernock Point, below Penarth Roads, thus placing the rapidly rising commercial port of Cardiff within the protection of their guns, and virtually closing the gates of the Severn. It is not possible to over estimate the importance of these fortifications in a national point of view, as they are calculated to protect our principal steam coalfields, a great part of the produce of which now finds its way into colliers and small coasting craft, to be convoyed by them to various ports in the Bri tish Channel. In time of war many of these would fall into the hands of an enemy, and furnish him with fuel for his war steamers. But, in order to.secure a safe and constant sup ply of steam coal for our arsenals in the British Channel, within the range of the projected fortifi cations it is proposed to profit by the vast natural advantages of Bread-dowe, on the Somersetshire side, and to construct simultaneously with the for tifications a large d eep- water harbour onthe northern side of the down, where, under cover of the bat teries, vessels laden with coals and other mine rals from South Wales may at all times, with out risk or danger, securely discharge their car goes. It is proposed to connect the harbour, which will he accessible at all periods of the tide, and at the lowest spring tides, with the Bris tol and Exeter and Central Somerset Railways, by means of which direct and regular access will be afforded to it from the ports in the south and west of England, and from the metropolis, through the medium of both gauges. It is not too much to ex pect that the Government will cordially promote the formation of the harbour at Brean-down ' as, independently of considerations connected with the proposed fortifications, there is at the present mo moat no other than a tidal harbour throughout the whole of the Bristol Channel, the consequence of which is the constant damage to shipping in the violent storms which prevail in this district. A most commodious and excellent harbour may, in the opinion of the most eminent engineers, be con structed at Brean-down at a trifling expense, com pared with the immense advantages to be derived from it; their testimony being unanimous to the effect that no situation in the whole of England presents greater facilities for direct communication with America, or for the debelopment of an exten sive and lucrative home trade, THE LATE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT ALDERSHOT. At the Aldershot Police-court, yesterday, Sergt.- Major Henry Leslie Kennedy, of the 3d battalion Military Train, attended to give evidence against John Nicholas, a private in the same battalion (by whom, it will be remembered, he was shot with a rifle in November last), for the purpose of being subpoenaed to prosecute the prisoner at the ensuing assizes at Winchester. Sergeant-Major Kennedy left the army hospital on the Ist inst., and has so far recovered from the effects of the wound in his chest as to be able to walk for some distance; and there is now nothing in his general appearance in dicative of the intense physical suffering he has undergone subsequently to the cowardly attempt upon his life. The evidence of the witnesses in the case having been read over, Sergeant-Major Ken nedy, who was accommodated with a seat during the examination, deposed as follows :—On the night of the 6th of November last I returned home to my hut from the camp theatre, about half-past twelve o'clock, in company with Sergeant Salter, Sergeant Ward, and Corporal Pearce. I lit a candle, and was in the act of pulling off my boots, when a knock cams to the door. I said, " Come in." and the pri soner, John Nicholas, entered. He immediately said, "What accusation have you got against me ?" and before I could make a reply I felt a blow on the chest, and heard the report of a rifle. After that I know nothing of what took place. On the same evening, between eight o'clock and half-past, I was at the eamp theatre, and told off the prisoner to see. that the gallery seats were properly filled, and that nobody went from the gallery into the pit. I also told Corporal Downey to see to the pit seats. The pit front seats were full, and Downey had to go down by the gallery, where the prisoner was sta tioned. This led to the disturbance which took place between the prisoner and Corporal Downey. I heard the prisoner call out, upon which I explained the reason why Corporal Downey had to go over the gallery rails, but he would not be satisfied with the explanation, and he then used some im proper language to the corporal, which I do not remember. I thereupon told him that if he could not behave himself like another man he had better go home. I then left him and went into the theatre. The prisoner followed me to the pit door, and said, " I will go home; Sergeant-Major, I will go home." Upon this the prisoner went away, and I saw no thing more of him until he came into my hut, The prisoner Nicholas is still in Winchester Gaol, awaiting his trial for the above offence.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY. Looking at the return of the betting at he,ad-quarterS given below it would appear that the season of 1862 had commenced with some spirit, but such is not the case. The attendance certainly presented a marked improvement, many of the oldest members putting in an appearance for the first time, which gave an air of business and character to the room that was hoped to prove productive of some extensive speculation; but with the exception of the strong demonstration that set in, just prior to the closing of the room, in favour of Sir H. Bulkeley's colt for both of his engagements, no feature of particular interest presented itself during the afternoon. For the Liverpool Steepleehaße The Dane was not in such demand, 10 to 1 being freely offered at the commencement of business, but at the close 9 to 1 was the highest offer we heard against him. Huntsman appeared to have a host of friends, and was repeatedly backed in well-informed quar ters at all sorts of prices, but, as near as we could make out at thc finish, 13 to 1 would be his quotation. Thomastown, the representative of the Irish division, was much fancied and backed for money, and left off evidently with a host of friends behind him, and who will no doubt see a much better day. Jealousy, as last year, appears to be the " Marionette," first up, then down ; but this afternoon, after` a deal of fencing between the knowing division, we believe her closing price was 100 to 6. Tippler was backed for a small amount at 20 to 1, and 25 to 1 was accepted about Mr. Rowan's Bucophalus. THE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE STAKES.—For this event the only animals that came under our notice were Panique and Wildman. About the former 20 to 1 was laid, and five points more were accepted about the latter to small amounts. THE Two THOUSAND GUINEAS.—OId Calabar appeared all the rage, and towards post time an unmistakable anxiety was manifested to get on. His opening price was readily accepted, and at the finish 900 to 300 was accepted in ono bet. The Marquis, notwithstanding the report indus triously circulated of his having betrayed evidence of tem per, &c., appeared in much better odour than last week, 9 to 1 being the highest offer we could gather the boldest of his opponents professed to lay. THE CHESTER Cur.—Little or nothing appears to be doing upon this once important race. The afternoon was principally consumed in asking after certain animals, and it was not until a late hour we were enabled to compile any thing like a satisfactory return. Zodiac, evidently for money, must bo looked upon as the better favourite; any thing over 20 to 1 would have been readily accepted, but layers were extremely shy, and remained to wait another day. No other movement of interest connected with " The Coop" was made manifest, if we except a disposition to get on the Vest colt, Hadji, Stavros, and Chere Arnie, the others enumerated in our return being backed for no minal amounts. TILE DERBY.—A strong reaction in favour of Old Calabar set in during the afternoon. After his opening price had been secured his friends mustered in some force, and at last 8 to 1 in hundreds was taken, with a disposition to go on ; but we imagine the bookmakers, having had but little but Old Calabar to write in their ledgers, were sur feited with him, and declined to go on. This movement made the Newmarket champion unquestionably the first favourite, Buckstone's opening price being freely offered without a reply. Ensign was supported for money at 21 to 1, and Lord Wilton's colt at 26 to 1, the latter having a host of admirers.

From the evidence adduced at the inquest, held before Mr. W. Trotter, coroner, it appeared that the deceased had only left home to commence work about a quartcr of an hour, when being engaged in coupling additional waggons to the pick-up goods train from Auck land to Redcar, he was unfortunately caught between the buffers, and literally squeezed to death. He was carried a distance of about 20 yards in that horrible position before assistance could be rendered him. After being extricated he breathed twice, and died. A wife and five children are left unprovided for. The coroner observed that it would be well if a little of the Hartley sympa thy was appropriated to such eases as these, not that h e wished to say anything against the magnificent contributions that had been raised for the Hartley sufferers, but this was a case which pro portionately deserved public attention and sympathy, The ‘. gentler m s ag eic: t verdict of accidental death was returned.

Cranford, steamed into Portsmouth Harbour yesterday, and berthed alongside the dockyard, unbending sails, preparatory to dismantling and paying off. With reference to the order alluded to in The Sun of yesterday for reducing the number of guns a n d men th on war,instructions are given for armament, the character of e reduction ed board uction ships of which may be illustrated by a few examples :—The Tribune, screw frigate, now fitting for commission in lieu of 32 2 gatunPs,oratssmhoeurtehtofiosroer,doerneldy3, a s f o ll ows :-3lain to C a rry , deck, 16 65 cwt. 8-inch; upperdeck, 4 40-pounders, , Armstrong (pivot) ; 2 A r 3 m 2 s . p t r o o u ng nd s 1 p o 32-pounder. . 100-pounder, Shannonunder and Euryalus are each to land 16 guns, and, like the Tribune, will carry only 8-inch guns on their main d ec k s . Th e Duncan, he s u ti 99, lands bsti l t O u of on her guns, reducing her to an 8 of on e calibre of gun on the main deck of our frigates and on the main and lower deck of our line-of-battle ships will tend to considerably simplify the " projectile" question. The reduction of the number of guns on board ship in peaceable times must be for the ship's benefit in rendering her easy in a seaway, and, besides, the guns can be easily replaced on board whenever they be required. The reduction of the number t—ord. however, does not admit of such .f the Warrior, for instance, vecent stay at Ports ',tilers by one of * --4- of the .nt ..ieve tau: 1 her crew was in,, , ard of Admiralty, of e crow allowed het rrcqates now exceed the s . : thrt,. det— --ars back, and this reduc tion of their crL 'ooked upon by the pro fession generally 'w. it ,_ nCeiOD. The completion of the C •nw frigate, at Portsmouth, at the hands of t, 1 . depart ments, has been deferred from qinal time fixed—the Ist of March, to the gist ; and the Glasgow, screw frigate, frcra the 2bth of Feb ruary to the 30th of April. The work on the Dun can has been suspended, and the hands taken from her placed upon the Tribune. The Megzcra is re ported for completion at the hands of the engineer ing department on the 7th April. The work on the Prince Regent has also been suspended for the pre sent. The Jasper, screw gunboat, 80 horse power, has been masted in the steam basin at Portsmouth, pre paratory to commission. The Balaklava,Ordnance screw transport, Master- Commander Pellatt, is discharging 12 100-pounder Armstrong guns and a large cargo of fittings at the gun wharf stores, Portsmouth. A large number of Armstrongs of lighter calibre was received on Sa turday. The wooden model of Captain C. P. Coles's cupola or shield was completed on the deck of the Hazard in the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday, and the experimental firing will at once take place to enable him to prepare the specifications, &c., for the new shield ship which the Admiralty have deter mined upon constructing. Information is sought from the intended experimental firing as to the minimum area of a shield capable of working two 100-pounder Armstrong guns; the amount of con cussion produced by the guns' discharge ; the re moval of smoke ; and any other points which may occur to Captains Hewlett and Coles during the time the firing is being carried out. Directions have been received at Chatham pock yard from the Admiralty for every exertion to be made to complete the Resistance, 18, 600 horse power, by the second week in March, in order that she may be undocked and tried as speedily as pos sible after. The Scourge, Commander the Hon. W. J. Ward, was put out of commission on Saturday and paid off in Woolwich Dockyard. The report circulated by some of the daily papers, to the effect that Com mander Ward would commission the Rapid, after paying off the Scourge, is without the slightest foundation. The Rapid is perfectly ready for commission. Her speed will be tested shortly, for the first time, at the measured mile. She carries an armament of 11 guns and engines of 150 horse power only. TIY:E' AI?M Y. The squadron of the sth Royal Lancers, in com mand of Capt. Boyd, stationed at *Woolwich since last summer, yesterday marched out of garrison, and proceeded to Hounslow headquarters, to relieve the crowded barracks at Woolwich, preparatory to the summer arrangement. To meet the i ncreas i ng demands of Woolwich Garrison, a most eligible site adjacent to the Royal Artillery barracks has been cleared for the erection of a new church, the accom modation in the old chapel having been found inadequate. The next examination of assistant-surgeons for the Army will commence at Chelsea Hospital on the 10th of March next. There will be 20 vacancies.
