A!,ktif 4r. 01764 it, . 44444 is one of degree, is, how far they shall be taed ? We trust that before long a Chancellor of the hchequer will be found bold enough to renew the aiempt to perform that which is only an act of barejustice— the depriving the minority of a privilege w.ich they enjoy at the expense of the majority. THE Peace Society has just celebrated its fifty third anniversary by lamenting the enormus size of the standing armies of Europe, and by dprecating with anxious earnestness a war between tro nations of the same race. The Peace Society as estab lished in the year after Waterloo, and ;his is the state of things after entering the secon4 half-cen tury of existence. The result is certainly not encouraging, and the only atisfactory feature is that two members of this ssociation have succeeded in obtaining admission into Par liament. And yet there has been soin progress since Waterloo. That enormous butchers bill has not been forgotten, and there is at but a keen appreciation of the horrors of war which mist have frequently helped to prevent war. In fat, the very embroilment against which the speaker so vehe mently protested is all but impossible b: reason of the strong repugnance that there is on b)th sides of the Atlantic to this kind of appeal. It cat hardly be doubted but that fifty years ago such a iontroversy as that in which the - United States and ourselves are now engaged would have led tc hostilities. That it has not done so now—hat nations generally are more reluctant to ugh than they were formerly, is, we believe, due chiefly to two causes. The most powerful is the increase of commerce. The repeal of the corn lays was the severest blow ever dealt against the walke spirit. The relations between Great Britain aid America became thereby immensely strengthen3d and in creased. The loss that would arise to both sides through a rupture is so enormous that bolt sides hesi tate to incur it. Similarly it is to the Frerch Commer cial Treaty, not to our fortifications, that we owe that peace between England and France whbh has been continued in spite of panics and misrepresentations, and which seems impossible to be broken. The second cause of the greater rarity of wars is the increase of democracy. It was said many years ago that war Was a game wmcn, if their subjects we.., wise, kings would not be suffered _to play at. But the subjects at that time had no power to prevent. They were without political privileges ; they could do nothing. All is changed. The people are now vir tually self-governed ; it is they who decide if there shall be peace or war ; and as it is they who have to bear all the burden of the latter alternative, their voices are generally for the former. Of old, " the kings played the madman, and the people were punished." The people now keep their kings under restraint if necessary. And thus it comes to pass that just as in proportion as a country becomes democratic does it become peaceful. The Working Men's International Congress at Geneva, was so democratic that NAPOLEON was alarmed by it. Europe, at all events, had no reason to be alarmed, for while NAPOLEON was forcing his Conscription Bill through the French Legislature, the Congress were raising the cry of "War against War." There is no reason, then, why the Peace Society should be cast down. They may not have much influence as teachers, but, at least, the education of the race is going on. It may be of small use to tell the nations that war is horrible and sinful, but, at least, the nations are determined that they will not lightly have war. Let us then promote commerce, increase political freedom among all people, and they will at last, even though the Peace Society should be dissolved, come to see that war is not only shocking, but illogical ; that, in fact, it proves nothing. -137 r k\ , tr .1) 'llll2lli-r ;.

The election riots have not, it appears, bees confined to Paris. Disturbances have taken place at several places in the departments, though it does not appear that any of them have been of great moment, or that they have assumed the proportions of the Paris riots. As might have been expected, Nimes is one of the offending places. On Sunday evening, on the termination of a public meeting, some two or three hundred individuals promenaded the town, singing the obnoxious " Marseillaise." They betook themselves to the place of the Prefecture, but they did not remain there more than a few minutes. The Patrie states that the authorities did not at first intervene. But about mid night, reinforced by libations, the mob returned, and then the guard was called out. No collision, however, took place, and the mob shortly after dispened, promisipg a fresh ffiani festation next day. This promise was not fulfilled, at least the last account avers tha t " tranquillity had been restored." Disturbances have also taken place in the _dude depart ment, and at Thurges, and a sanguinary conflict is reported from the dude; but we are as yet without details of these occurrences. As I Lave before said, the capital returned none but Opposition deputies at the late election, and therefore the Left can gain only in the sense of electing more. extreme antagonists to Imperial rule. The great question of what the departments will do must be left to the decision of next Sunday and Monday. I hear conflicting reports as to the doings and prospects of the several par,- ties. One account, which comes from a very good source, is particularly remarkable. The designation of "official candidate "—the proud title which was so sure a pass to the Corps Le , gislatif in 1863—is now, I am told, rejected everywhere. M. Calley Saint-Paul came for ward, it was both expected and represented, as a Govern ment candidate. But he has been found too Liberal, and the Prefect has put up M. Bardinet against him. The latter is receiving the most strenuous Imperial support. In the Haute-Vienne M. Nolalhier offered himself, and was received with open arms by the Administration. The authorities were so enthusiastic about this candidate that they induced M. Marc de Laguerronnih•e to withdraw in his favour. But how ungratefully the perfidious Noualhier has repaid this affectionate zeal! He has repu diated the patronage of the Administration. Being called upon to explain why he voted against the Press Law in 1867, he replied that it was not liberal enough ! The Opposition cannot do better than vote for Government candidates of this 5t ,,,„„ T,. .}},pr departments the Independents are prospering. In the Basses-Pyrenees Al.. Gustave Fould, a strong Independent, is making headway against M. Lavielle, the deputy who represented this circumscrip tion in the defunct Chamber. Still too much reliance ought not to he placed on these reports. As Captain Bunsby would say, the meaning- of them "lies in the application." Too much significance may readily be attached to a few isolated facts. The pigheaded country voters may, in spite of all the efforts to enlighten them, send a rigidly Imperialist majority to the Corps L6gislatif ; or, without imitating the "sanguinary radicalism" of Paris, they may elect a powerful force of Moderate Indepen dents, whose hostility to personal government could hardly fail to be productive of the greatest results. Above one hundred unfortunate prisoners have good cause to remember the Paris riots of last Wednesday and Thursday. The total number of arrests was 149, Of whom only 17 have been set at liberty. Of the 132 culprits yet in custody, 23 have previously made their appearance in a court of justice, and 62 are under 20 years of age ; 93 exercise mechanical occupations. The remainder are clerks, students, &c. The period of public meetings has terminated, but the Opposition is not the less active. The oratorical cam paign is at an end; but the journalists are having their turn, and they are making the most of it. 'They are as iiligent in filling their columns as the public is in reading them. The sale of newspapers is immense: Although the evening journals print an additional num ber, copies are scarcely to be procured in certain quarters, and are snatched up from the kiosks the moment they appear. Nearly every man you meet is reading a news paper, .and the omnibuses are transferred into reading rooms of two storeys. Besides the journals, the war is sustained by means of an unlimited supply of placards. Your dead walls, and walls which could not be accounted •‘ dead," were pretty well ornamented in London and other places last year ; but the placarding here far outdoes you. 'great ingenuity of device is strewn. Provision is made for all tastes, both literary and political. And it is 'appre ciated. All the walls containing these placards, addresses, invocations, and professions of faith, arc surrounded by ?ager crowds of readers. There can be no doubt of the interest taken in this election ; equally little doubt that . t causes more excitement than any previous contest of the kind. • Many of the leading statesmen of Europe—Napoleon [II., Lord Derby, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Disraeli, and King Tohn of Saxony—have become citizens of the Republic of Letters.

We may congratulate our elves on having escaped a serious difficultyby the prudence nd decision of Sir Rutherford Alcock, who, acting on the principles now adopted by our authorities, refused to countenance any reckless employment of force. Sir R. Alcock, in opening the correspondence with Lord Stanley •especting the affairs at Hankow, expresses some uneasi ess as to the consequences of these frequent outbreaks, and doubts whether the missionaries. are justified in provoking. the dangers resulting from their attempts to establish missions in the interior ; away from the treaty porti. •It - becomes (says Sir R. Alcock) matter for serious consideration how far the Government will be disposed to protect the missionaries should they persevere in their present curse. The affair at Hankow may be - briefly told. The port itself is situated about GOO 'lanes up the Yang-tze, and is one of our consular • ations. The missionaries extended their labours beyond be treaty limits to Wuchang, where the people became 'rritated against them, and made angry demonstrations. The missionaries appealed to the Hankow Consul, Mr. Caine, who forthwith invoked the aid of a war vessel from Nanking. As this request was not at once responded to, Mr. Caine wrote in some indignation to Sir Rutherford Alcock, urging that " a vessel of war of some sort " should be always kept on the station. Sir Rutherford 'ery sensibly answered that it was neither necessary nor possible to station a gunboat at every port, and that if the consuls could not conduct the business if their consulates without .their aid, there was little advantage in having a treaty of amity an d commerce. Sir R. Alcock ev id en tly th oug ht the disturbances at For - . mesa and Yang-Chow-Foo far more serious than the Han kow dispute was likely to prove, but he suggested that one or two vessels might be stationed in the Yang-tzc to protect the three ports in that river. To this proposal, however, the home Government are unwilling to accede, and as the latest intelligence announces that " peace and order bad been restored " at all the ports, and that " there was no more cause for anx iet y at any point,', we may hope the demand for war vessels will for the present diminish. The answer of Lord C larendon to the telegram conveying this welcome news intention and desire of this country that the intercourse with China should be maintained by friendly means, and should riot - be subject to interruption by injudicious and rash proceedings on the part o f British subjects." The account of the Formosa difficulty, now happily at an end, is given very fully in No. 3 of the papers. The dis .turbance arose from a report which was current among the Chinese that the missionaries were administering a poisonous drug to the people. A native Protestant preacher • was seized and imprisoned, and the missionaries applied to • Mr. Jamieson for assistauce. He endeavoured to allay the. excitement, and advist d them to remain quiet. Further disturbances occurred in connection with the missions, upOn which Lieutenant Gurdon, of - the Algerine, acting on the requisition of Mr. • Gibson, Acting-Consul at Formosa, seized and held Fort Zelandia, and the town of Amping. This conduct was strongly censured by the Foreign oaice. Lord Clarendon at first threatened to remove Mr. Gibson from his post, but finally left him in charge till further orders. Ten thousand dollars, exacted by Lieutenant Gurdon from the people for his expenses. were refunded by the Admiral. The English Government appear to be fully sensible that by the con stant employment of force in these dispu' es they weaken their ground of appeal to the Chinese authorities to fulfil their treaty obligations. The account of the Yang-Chow. Foo difficulty is somewhat different in its character. in this case the local authorities at Yang-Chow-Foo are held responsible for the damages, and after a correspondence with Prince Kong, this payment is insisted on by Sir P. Alcock. At the close of th e l eng th y correspondence . arising from an attack made by some Chinese villagers on „the boats of Cockchafer, Lord Clarendon desires the consuls generally to discourage imprudent excursions into the interior on the part of British subjects, who must not expect redress for injuries so wantonly incurred.

It must have been an enviable moment in the life of Lord SHAFTESBURY, well earned by years of un wearying labour and self-devotion, when on Saturday last he inaugurated the Bradford Memorial to his fellow-labourer, RICHARD OASTLER, and received the hearty and heart-felt acknowledgments of grateful thousands of that factory population with whom his own name NI ill be for ever associated. It is not given to every labourer in a good cause to wit ness the triumphant issue of his ambition. That a c lase, being good, must ultimately prosper is a matter of faith which upholds the supporters of many an apparently forlorn hope ; but the cause may prosper when its advocates have passed away. Hap pily, it has not been so in this instance ; and we are confident that one unanimous sentiment of congratu latory sympathy will be felt by all who read the ac count of the proceedings at Bradford on Saturday, the 15th of May, 1869, commemorative of the triumph of that Tea Hours' Bill, which some five and twenty years before had been peremptorily rejected by a large majority of the House, obedient to the autocratic dictates of the Minister. That defeat in no wise abated the confi dence of the Operatives' Friends, and a few years afterwards the short-time measure became law. It has now been in operation for more than 20 years, and experience has more than justified the expectations of its supporters, as the improved physical condition of the factory operatives can testify. Representatives from all the factory districts of Yorkshire and Lan cashire crowded the streets of Bradford on Saturday. A procession of 30,000 persons marched to Peel Park, where the statue of RICHARD OASTLER was uncovered by Lord SHAFTESBUR' amid earnest and heart-felt acclamations. In his speech at the Public Meeting new Iu ale evening, t 1.4 Ou. ova 6G - it! ""U, the noble lord paid a.fitting tribute to the memory of RICHARD OASTLER :—" They could remember that man, and his rough, his masterly, and his racy elo quence, and knew how he brought it to bear upon the woes, the wants, and the miseries of the human race, and with what self-denial, with what total disregard of his own interest, and animate& cnly by principles of humanity, and thinking he was performing the work assigned to him by his LORD and MASTER, he man fully achieved the work." Lord SHAFTESBURY alsotook occasion to pass in review " the names of the excel lent and distinguished men who bore the brunt and heat of the day, who were the first to commence tha great operation, and without whom, he did not hesi tate to say, it wou'd have been impossible for him not only to achieve what had been achieved, but even to sustain the conflict against the mighty mass of opposition that was raised against them." On concluding the very nb!e address, in which he exhorted his hearers to be true and worthy sup' porters of the cause which they bad gained' the noble lord, amid cries of " GOD bless you" and " Long may you live," said that " that might be, and probably was, the last time he should ever be able to address them from a platform such as that. Time was creeping on, and years were accumulating on his head, and if his life were spared his powers migh have fallen into decay. His ambition was very simple he had already in his ancestral mansion a magnified] bu.st, the gift from the operatives of the counties o Lancaster and York to his wife, as a memorial o, their esteem and approbation. This was his desire he prayed, and be should labour, that he might be able by GOD'S blessing to retain so long as he lived the affection and gratitude which they bad shown him. He trusted that he should be able to retain that, and that his name might be associated not only in history with the gratitude of the operatics for the small work he had been able to achieve, but also that it might be associated with the honour and happiness of the industrial classes of th e British empire"— a prayer and a desire that must inevitably be realised. For ourselves, as having at the time been foremost among the few to sympathise with and support Lord AULEY in his clays of anxiety and exertion, we can .-cc.any and the more heartily unite with the rejoicing multitude to congratnlata Load SHAFTESBURY in this his hour of triumph. THERE are signs that before long the question of the taxation of charitable funds will become pro minent. It is six years since Mr. GLADSTONE pro posed, as a part of his financial scheme for the year, to extend the income tax to those funds. One of the ablest speeches which be ever made was spoken in defence of that proposal. But so great was the pressure brought to bear upon him, so influential as well as numerous was the deputation which waited upon him at the Treasury, that he abandoned the proposal with reluctance. Mr. Lown has said that he would be willing to tax the charities if the House would give him the necessary power. There is reason to think that if he were to ask for the power he would no longer find the same reluc tance to grant it which Mr. GLADSTONE experienced. This alteration in the tone of public sentiment is due in no small measure to the exposures which have been made of the mode in which charitable funds are administered. There is no doubt that a large num ber of them are shamefully abused, and diverted from their original purpose. But this is not the sole, nor the chief, accusation against them. Far more important is the objection that the funds, even when rightly applied, are most mischievous. An instance has been lately mentioned in which £3O a year was spent in education, and £BOO a year was given away in doles, the year 4 distribution being accompanied by the debauchery and demoralisation of the greater part of the village. It is clear that in such a case the people would be benefited by the absolute suppression of the dole, or its appro priation to the relief of the national debt. Certainly there was no good claim for immunity from taxation. In fact it was a downright injustice that the indus trious, hard working man who got no portion of this dole should be taxed, while those who spent it in rioting and wantonness should go untaxed. Un happily such cases are not exceptional. Mr. GLADSTONE mentioned many nearly as bad. Of course there are some charities well administered and doing a vast amount of good, such as the hospitals and infirmaries in all parts of the country. Yet, even taking these into consideration, we can see no good reason why charities should not be taxed. When a man bequeaths a legacy to a charitable institution he is withdrawing from the total of tax able property. lie hands over to the poor—to that portion of the community which already, pays no income tax —say, £20,000, and thereby imposes upon the hard-working clerk, who has a salary of £l5O, the duty of paying so much more income tax. Doubtless the additional burden is not felt directly, and being borne by so large a number of persons is not felt sensibly. But it is not the less real, and _not the less does the multiplication of such bequests involve a diminution of the tax paying fund, and a heavier charge upon the residue. Thus the persons who benefit by the charity not only enjoy the amount actually given to them, but im pose a fine upon the rest of the community. If the fund from which they receive were liable to taxation they would still benefit, but not at the cost of any one save the donor. In fact, this is so obvious that such funds are already taxed to a certain amount. The bequests to charitable institutions are liable to legacy duty ; it is only the yearly income arising ,out of those bequests which are not liable.teauconle-tax. The principle of taxa , ton is already admitted ; the sole question at , issue ,THE ,AORPOLK ELECTION PETITION. In the matter of the Norfolk petition, the court pro. • ceedecl, yesterday, to hear further evidence as to treating. The case of the petitioner, as regards the Wells district, was completed, and witnesses were then called to prove similar treating in Stalham district. It was proved that adinner was given, 'after the election, at the Crown Inn, at Catfield, to about twenty persons. Some of those present were, however, not voters. The dinner was given by Mr. Lubbock, of Catfield Hall,who canvassed the landlord of the Crown on behalf of La,con and Walpole. The landlord said his Principles were Conservative, and Mr. Lubbock afterwards ordered the dinner. It was ordered about three weeks after the election. Mr. Lubbock stated that the dinner was given for the parishioners of Catfield, but he only invited such of them as had voted for Lacon and Walpole. He had paid about eight pounds for the dinner, and had not been repaid. Mr. Hammond, the landlord of the Crown, said this house had always been " Red," and he had accordingly at once promised his vote to the Conser vatives. An unwilling witness, named Clarke, was called to prove that a similar dinner had taken place at Happis burgh. This witness spewed such hesitation that Mr. Justice Blackburn threatened to commit him. THE INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE, The international boat race is being prepared for both at Oxford and Harvard. The Oxford University Boat Club have already made a selection, and practice has com menced. Mr. VT. C. Crofts, of Brasenose College, the champion Oxford University sculler, steered the following crew:—Bow—R. D. Benson, Balliol College; No. 2—A. C. Yarborough, Lincoln College ; No. 3-J. C. Tinn6; University College ; .Stroke—S. D. Darbishire, Balliol College. The crew is made up from the victorious Oxford eight of this year, Mr. Darbishire still occupying the im portant position of stroke oar ; while Messrs. Tinne, Yar borough, and Benson were respectively 5,6, and 7, in the recent victory of the Dark Blue. The " hour" rowed steadily down to Iffley and back, but their uniformity at this early stage created a very favourable impression. and there is every reason to think the Dark Blue will have four excellent representatives in the above-named - gentlemen. The selection of coxswain has not yet been made, but it is probable Mr. Neilson, of St. John's, who steered Oxford against Cambridge this year, will again be entrusted with the rudder lines. The preliminaries of the race have not yet been Settled, but it is understood it will take place in August, when the Cantabs, and probably the London Rowing Club, will encounter the Americans. The London Rowing Club, although not challenged Ly .A.. 1.10., have thrown down the gauntlet to our American cousins, on the ground that Oxford and Cambridge do not represent the amateur talent of England, and have instanced their success at Ilenley-on-ThameS against the two universities, but this is hardly fair to the Light and Dark Blues, as their strength has hardly ever been put forth at that pleasant annual gathering. The New York Times thus describes the American meet :—" William Hammond Simmons, of Concord, Mass., is a member of the Senior Class. He has rowed almost daily during good weather ever since he entered college, pulling number three in the Freshinen Crew, which beat all the other class boats in 1863 that were willing to try them ; number two in the University six in 1867, winning both - . the Boston City Regatta, on July 4th of that year, and the college race at Worcester; and number three in the University six in 1868, which was defeated twice by the champion profes sionals of the country, the Ward brothers, but easily beat a strong St. John party, all the best New England crews, and the Yale men of that year. This year he was appointed stroke and captain of the club, but he freely resigned the former position in favour of Mr. Loring, when he consented to row in the four to go to Eng land. Alden Porter Loring, of Boston, has a name familiar to rowing men. Of finer mould than . Mr. Simmons, he stands exactly as tall, weighs, trained, about 155 pounds, and is nearly 25 years old. He is the only man who ever rowed in a Harvard University crew while a freshman or a first-year man, and he is now a senior, and has rowed stroke in every race mentioned above where Mr. Simmons took part. He can at once with his practised eye detect the slightest irregularity in the rowing of any man, and all may feel, when they learn that this post has been entrusted to him, that the chances of turning out a team whose action shall be most polished and harmonious could not have been better than now. The English captain, in order to ' coach ' his crew, deemed it necessary to leave the boat and view and correct their motions while on horseback on the bank. The advantages of Mr. Loring's plan are sufficiently obvious to anyone experienced in rowing. Though the men for the two waist oars are not yet fully settled upon, of the fur or five standing a good chance for the places, it is safe to say that Messrs. Rice and Bass are as likely as any to prove themselves worthy of them. George Bass, of Chicago, 111., is a member of the Sophomore Class, '7l, is 23 years old, stands nearly five feet ten, and will weigh, trained at the time of the race, about 163 pounds. He rowed starboard waist in his class six last year, his crew winning with ease. Mr. Bass is freely acknowledged to be a man of unusual staying power. Sylvester Warren Rice, of Oregon Territory, will likely have the honour of a place in this important tour. He, like Mr. Bass, is a Sophomore, and with him has rowed four races. He is next to the heaviest man in the boat, weighing nearly 180, and will not train below 165, pounds. He stands the tallest of the four, bcinz six feet and half an inch in height, and is now 26 years of age, He is a lithe, quick fellow at his work for one of his weight, and skewed himself a man for a tight place when the stroke oarsman of his crew last year having been sunstruck in the middle of a race, he did the work of almost two men for quite a distance, and suc ceeded in plaeng his crew a good second. A man con siderably acquainted with steering has already been found for the post of coxswain, and he will underweigh with Mr. Wilson, of Oxford, or Mr. Gordon, of Cambridge, England." On Saturday morning the wife of a chemist at Leicester gave birth to twin children (girls) which partook of the nature of the " Siamese twins," having four arms and four legs, and being joined together from the breast to the umbilical cord. They did not survive above a quarter of an hour, and their death was quickly followed by that of their mother. JMFORTANT TO COAIMERCIAL TRAVELLERS. Having received several communications from correspon dents who wished to know if it was necessary for. a traveller who supplied a shopkeeper from his stock to take out a hawker's liceme in England, the editor of the Goldsmith communicated with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and received the following reply:—" Inland Revenue, Somerset House, London, W.C.—Sir,—The Chancellor of the Exchequer having transmitted to this board your letter to him of the 4th inst., I am instructed to refer you to the Oth sec. of the . 24th and 25th Vic. cap. 21, under which you will perceive that commercial travellers selling to persons who are dealers in the goods, or buying to sell again, are not liable to the hawker's license.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, War. CORBETT, Secretary." SHAMMING! A Tumouit.—The Indian Medical Ga:ette reports an extraordinary case of "shamming." 'The Indian pretender was a girl of 15 years of age, who was brought by her parents to Dr. Cameron, the civil assistant-surgeon of Monghyr. A tumour of the size of a teacup disfigured her left cheek, and gave her great pain, she said. It had begun a year ago in the shape of a small growth at the angle of the jaw, and was now so painful and irksome that the parents were most desirous to have an operation per- formed on it. The doctor looked into the girl's mouth, separating her teeth a little way, with difficulty, as she was continually starting back, and com plaining of pain. lie saw something like ends of pieces of cloth, and eventually managed to pull out one piece of cloth after another until the tumour had wholly disap- peared. The girl then, says the narrator, looked foolish and sulky, and• her . parents - on whom she had imposed were stupefied with astonishment. Next day they brought her again, and there was no difficulty now in examining. her mouth, which was sound every way, and without a trace of swelling. The left cheek, which had for so long a time been strained over the ball of cloth; was flacid and thin, the - centre of it being like the skin of a withered apple. The ball of cloth weighed four ounces when the pieces of which it was composed were washed and dried. THE EMPEROR.

This—the third cable—between Europ e and America will, if all goes well, be open to the publ ic about the middle of July. The Anglo-French Company stands just now in a position similar to that occupied by the new Atlantic Company in 1E65, and the Anglo. American Company in 1866. It has ordered the best pea' Bible cable from the best makers ; but it will not take por session of it until after it has been laid, and when th e electricians certify the communication between the Or° continents to be perfect. The French cable ho e been made, and will be laid from English ships, 191 Englishmen, the Telegraph Construction and Blainte• nance Company having undertaken the contract, Si e Samuel Canning being the engineer-in-chief of the We' 3ition, and the Great Eastern having been chartered Or the work. The present cable is some twelve hundred mil es .onger than either of its predecessors ; it is divided int ° , several sections, and has been manufactured at the rate e 1 150 miles a week ever since the contract was accepted. 0 is within 100 miles of completion, and has nearly all been shipped on board the vessels appointed to carry it out. M ee the Great Eastern carries 2,752 miles, or about 400 more than when it left with the Anglo-American Cable, its vas t receptacles being made still vaster, and its main tank considerably enlarged. With this cargo the great 8 1 4 will leave her present rest'ng-place in the Medway about the 10th of June, and will proceed to Portland. Here ° few days will be spent in taking in coal, after which sh e will go to an appointed spot some five and a half geil ee from Brest. One of the vessels of the expedition (th e Chiltern) will in the meantime have laid the heavy shore end, and this will be buoyed out at sea at the distance named. The Great Eastern will, somewhere about the 20th June, pick it up, and after splicing and testing will set about her regular work of cable-laying' under Sir Samuel Canning and his staff. She will be accompanied by the Scanderia, a fine vessel of 1,800 tong and 370 feet long, now lying alongside her in the Medway' and by the Chiltern, both ships being fitted up wi th grappling irons, buoys, and picking-up machinery. Some eighteen days will be occupied by the Great Eastern in the voyage from Brest to St. Pierre ; and the line being laid between these two places, the other cable-laying vessels will carry on the remainder. The Scanderia, th e Chiltern, and the William Cory will each bee r portions of the cable across the Atlantic. The latter proceeds to St.- Pierre early in June, and having laid a shore-end there, will buoy the course and wait the arrival of the Great Eastern. This over, Sir Samu el Canning will leave the latter ship, which will return t ° England, and will take his place on board the WWII° Cory. Another shore-end, of course in direct comeouni• cation with the line to Brest, and onehundred and sevellti . four miles of cable will be laid. Then Sir Samuel Canning changes ships again, and splicing this portion with that on board the Scanderia proceeds on board the latter vessel to lay 450 miles more on the way to Boston. The Chiltern an d her cargo are called into requisition next, and another snli ce made, The 152 miles added now carry the cable direc t into Boston, and the line will be thus made oar plete between the latter place and the French port. All who know anything of the last cable-laying exned i. tions will rejoice to learn that the then chief officer of the Great Eastern has been appointed her captain since the resignation of Sir James Anderson. Captain Halpin is known and honoured among our mercantile marine as brave officer and an accomplished seaman. S ir Daniel Gooch, Bart., M.P., will go out in the Great Eastern as chairman o f th e company which makes and lays the cable ; and several of the French directors, and a selection of English electrician s including Sir William Thompson, will be also on board' There will be no ladies, however, and, so far as is known' no one without a distinct task to perform. Mr. Wil loughby Smith will, as formerly, act as the electrician ‘ 34 the company. It should be mentioned that the electric tests of the cable have been and are continuous, and that not a single fault has been discovered in it from the COra' mencement of its manufacture until now. In addition to the task before her, the Great Eastern leaves for Bombay with the British Indian cable, together with Sir Samue l Canning and his staff, early in November next. The statement that her Royal Highness th e Princess Christian has been suffering from milk fever l e contradicted. Her Royal Hi g h ness h as no t, it is said , had any kind o f f ever , b u t on l y a nervous a tt ac k, which has not given rise to serious apprehensions.
