The Hon. FRANCIS SCOTT, 31. P., Chairman. CHARLES BERWICK CURTIS, Esq., Deputy-Chairman. INVALID LivEs.—Persons not in sound health may have their lives insured at equitable rates. ACCOMMODATION IN LOAN TRANSACTION:I.—OnIy one-half of the Annual Premium, when the insurance is for life, requires to be paid for the first five years, simple interest being charged on the balance. Such arrangement is equivalent to an immediate advance of 50 per cent. upon the Annual Premium, without the borrower having recourse to the unpleasant necessity of procuring sureties, or assigning and thereby parting with his Policy, during the cur rency of the loan, irrespective of the great attendant expenses in much arrangements. The above mode of insurance has been found most advantageous when policies have been required to cover monetary transactions, or when incomes applicable for insurance are at present limited, as It only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other cons- Panics before the present system was instituted by this office. Loans are wanted likewise on real and personal securities.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious artic'e of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is worldwide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder willcease. A. few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that lie had a horse which was it " perfect baz of bones." lle tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in rain. lie then bought some of Thorley's food: and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, aad in the course of a few weeks hail gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, Ac., the animals which carried ot the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are fo r ced to the conclusion that i ts celebrity arises solely from its own in trinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the gond opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties i n terested in horses and cattle do well to apply to 77, a.t-street, London, for a pamp h l e t which is sent post-free. T o THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED.

As your readers have already been informed by telegraph, the submarine communication between the Old and New Worlds is now an accomplished fact. In the face of difficulties and dangers, the magnitude of which cannot be properly appreciated by those not engaged in the work, the engineers had, with almost untiring energy, adhered to their all but hopeless task with that perseverance which is sure, sooner or later, to lead to success. There were but few some 20 days ago who, after the return of the squadron to Queenstown from their late unsuccessful attempt,would have dared to pre dict such a speedy and glorious to ruination to all the trials and difficulties that the promoters of the nndertakiug have undergone. The final accomplishment of the scheme seemed indeed, up to the last moment,to hang upon a hair. Many se rion's difficulties bad to be encountered during the` six days and a half that the operations lasted, any one of which, had not chance favoured us, might have ruined the expedition, and delayed the advance of ocean telegraphs perhaps more than half a century. But the arduous task has now been accomplished, and it but remains for us to accept the bene fits which it will undoubtedly confer. Wonderful as the conception of conveying sensations from continent to con tinent.across the almost unknown depths of the ocean may seem to us now, yet in a very little time we shall forget the marvel while profiting by the fact, and without remember ing the years of anxious toil and discouragement which those who have secured this boon to the community have undergone. The wonder will be, not that the undertaking was carried out at all, but that it had not been accomplished long before. It has been the cus tom of mankind to honour the lives and celebrate the deeds of great statesmen, successful warriors, and eminent divines —indeed, of such materials are the links in the chain of his tory chiefly compe'cd. But those men who, by patient thought and persevering action, have achieved victories over matters which secure to the community permanent advan tages very often have their trouble for their reward. It is to be hoped that this , may not be the case with those who have been mainly instrumental in bringing this great scheme to a successful termination. It must be confessed that the prospects of success were very remote when the squadron left Queenstown on the 17th of last month. The amount of cable in the two ships had been reduced by nearly 400 miles, the recollection of three separate and most unaccountable breakages was still fresh in the minds of all who accompanied the first expedition, and there was no reason whatever for sup posing that the very same thing might not occur again. The cable might, and eventually did, as far as the contractors are concerned, fulfil all the guaranteed requirements, and the numerous accidents which occurred might be due to the cable having become injured during the gale. This suppo sition, though it may be gratifying to Messrs. Glass and Co., was no consolation to either the engineers or the share holders. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that many regarded the prosecution of the scheme as a waste of the shareholders' money. However, in spite of the most vehement opposition, the majority of the direc tors determined to dispatch the expedition to try their fortune again in mid ocean before they abandoned the scheme altogether as impracticable. Accordingly, on the morning of Saturday, the 17th of June, the Valorous, the Gorgon, and the Niagara, having completed coaling, steamed away from Queenstown for the rendezvous. The Agamemnon, having to wait for Professor W. Thomson, one of the directors, who took charge of the electrical depart ment on hoard, did not weigh anchor until two o'clock on the following morning. As the ships left the harbour there was apparently no notice taken of their departure by those on shore or in the vessels anchored around them. Every one seemed impressed with the conviction. that we were en gaged in a hopeless enterprise, and the squadron seemed rather to have slunk away on some discreditable mission than to have sailed for the accomplishment of a grand national scheme. It was just dawn when the Agamemnon got clear of Queenstown harbour; but as the wind blew stiffly from the south-west it was nearly 10 o'clock before she rounded the Old Head of Kinsale, a distance of only a few miles. The weather remained fine during the day, and as the Agamemnon skirted along the wild and rocky shore of the south-west coast of Ireland, those en board had an excellent opportunity of seeing the stupendous rocks, which rise from the water in the most grotesque and fantastic shapes. About five o'clock in the afternoon Cape Clear was passed, and though the coast gradually edged away to the northward of our course, yet it was nearly dark before we lost sight of the high and rocky mountains which surround Bantry Bay and the shore of the Kenmare River. By Monday morning, the 19th, we bad left the land far behind us, and from thence fell into . the a=nal dull monotony of a sea life. Of the voyage out there is little to be said. It was not chequered by the excitement of continual storms or the tedium of perpetual calm, but we had a sufficient admixture of both to render our passage to the rendezvous a rely ordinary and uninteresting one; indeed for the past week the barometer remained unusually low, and the numbers of those natural barometers. Mother Carey's chickens, that swarmed in our wake, kept us in continual expectation of heavy weather. With every little breeze of wind the screw was got up and sail made so as to husband our coals as much as possible, but it generally soon fell calm, and obliged Captain Preedy reluctantly to get up the steam again. In consequence of these continued delays and changes from steam to sail, and from sail to steam again, much fuel was expended, and not more than 80 miles of distance made good each day. On Sunday, the 23;h, however, the weather changed, and for several days in suc cession there was an uninterrupted calm. The moon was just at the full, and for several nights it shone with a brilliancy which turned the smooth sea into one silvery sheet, and brought out the dark hull and white sails of the ship in strong contrast to the sea and sky, as the vessel lay all but motion lees on the water, the very impersonation of solitude and repose; indeed, until the rendezvous was gained we had such a succession of beautiful sunrises,gorgeous sunsets, and tranquil moonlight nights as would have excited the most enthusiastic admiration of anyone but persons situated as we were. By us such scenes were regarded onlyas the annoying indication of the calm which delayed our progress and wasted our coals. In spite of the unusual calmness of the weather in general, there were days on which our former unpleaiant experiences of the Atlantic were brought forcibly to our re collection, when it blew hard and the sea ran sufficiently high to reproduce on a minor scale many of the discomforts of which the former cruise had been so fruitful. These days however, were the exception and not tile rule, and served to show how much more pleasant was the inconvenient calm than the weather which previouslyprevailed. By dint, how ever, of a judicious expenditure of fuel, and the liberal use of the cheaper motive power of sail, the rendezvous was reached cn the evening of Wednesday, the 28th of July, just 11 days after our departure from Queenstown. The rest of the squadron were in sight at nightfall, but at such a considerable distance that it was past 10 o'clock on the morning of Thursday, the 29th, before the Agamemnon joined them. We were as usual greeted by a perfect storm of questions as to what kept us so much behind our time, and learned that all had come to the conclusion that the ship must have got onshore in leaving Queenstown harbour. The Niagara, it appeared, bad arrived on the rendezvous on Friday, the 23d, the Valorous on Sunday, the 25th, and the Gorgon on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 27i1x. The day was beautifully calm, and no time was to be lost before making the splice. Boats were soon lowered from the attendant ships, the two vessels made fast by hawser, and the Niagara's end of the cable conveyed on board the Agamemnon. About bplf-past twtive o'clock the splice was effectually made, but nab materials very different from the carefully rounded semi-circular boards which bad been used to enclose the junction on previous occasions. It consisted merely of two straight boards nailed over the joining with the iron rod and leaden plummet attached to the centre. In hoisting it out from the side of the ship, however, the leaden sinkfr broke short off 81111 fell (iv( (I, nod there 1).1i g no m re convenient weight at hand, a 32 pound shot was fastened to the splice instead, and the whole apparatus was quickly dropped into the sea without any formality, and, indeed, almost without a spectator, for those on board had wit nessed so many b eg i n nings to the telegraphic cable that it was evident they dispaired of their ever being an end to P. The stipulated 200 fathoms of cable having been paid out to allow the splice to sink well below the surface the signal to start was hoisted, the hawser cast loose, and the Niagara and the Agamemnon started, for the last time, fur their opposite des tinations. For the first three hours the ships prtweeded very slowly, payingout it greAt quantity of slack; but After the expiration of this time the speed of the Agamemnon was increased to about 5 knots per hour, the cable going at about 6, without indicating more than a few hundred peunds of strain upon the dynamometer. Shortly after six o'clock a very large whale was seen approaching the starboard bow at a great speed, rolling and tossing the sea into foam all around, and for the first time we felt the possibility of the supposiiton that our second mysterious breakage of the cable might have been caused after all by one of these animals getting foul of it under water. It appeared as if it was making direct for the cable, and great was the relief of all when the ponderous, living mass was seen slowly to pass astern, just gra2ing the cable ►here it entered the water, but fortunately without doing any mischief. All seemed to go well up to about eight o'clock—the cable paid out from the hold with an evenness and regularity which showed how carefully and perfectly it had been coiled away ; and, to guard against accidents which might arise in consequence of the cable having suffered injury during the storm, the indicated strain upon the dynamometer was never allowed to get beyond 1,7001 b., or less than one quarter what the cable is cstima'ed to bear, anti thus far everything looked promising of success. But in such a hazardous task no one knows what a few minutes may bring forth, and soon after eight o'clock an injured portion of the cable was discovered shout a mile or two from the portion paying out. Not a moment was lost by Mr. Canning, the engineer on duty, in setting men to work to cobble up the injury as well as time would permit, for the cable was going out at such a rate that the damaged portion would be paid overboard in less than 20 minutes, and former experience Ind shown us that to check either the speed of the ship or the cable wou:d, in all probability, be attended by the mo,t fatal results. Just before the lapping was finished, Pro- fessor Thomson reported that the elec rival continuity of the wire had ceased, but that the insulation was still perfect. Attention was naturally directed to the injured piece as the probable source of the stoppage, and not. a moment was lost in cutting the cable at that point with the intention of making a perfect splice. To the consternation of all, the electrical tests applied showed the fault to be overboard, and in all probability some .*)0 miles from the ship. Not a second was to be lost, for it was evident that the cut portion must be paid overboard in a few minutes, and in the meantime the tedious and difficult operation of making a splice had to be performed. The ship was immediately stopped, and no more cable paid out than was absolutely necessary to pre vent it breaking as the stern of the ship was lifted by the waves. A scene of the moat intense excitement fol- lowed. It seemed impossible that, even by using the greatest possible speed and paying out the least possible amount of cable, the junction could be finished be fore the part was taken out of the hands of the work men. The mainhold presented an extraordinary scene, nearly all the officers of the ship and those connected with the expedition stood in groups about the coil, watching, with that intense anxiety which is seldom seen but round the foreign gaming tables, the cable as it slowly unwound itself, nearer and nearer the joint, while the work men, directed by Mr. Canning, under whose superintendence the cable was originally manufactured, worked at the splice as only men could work who felt that the life and death of 3n their rapidi ty . B ut a ll the i r the expedition depended up speed was to no purpose, as the cable was unwinding within a hundred fathoms; and, as a last and desperate resource, the cable was stopped altogether, and for a few minutes the ship hung on by the end. Fortunately, however, it was only for a few minutes, as the strain was continually rising above two tons, and it would not hold on much longer, when the splice was finished, the signal made to loose the stopper, and it passed overboard safely enough. When the excitement consequent upon having so narrowly saved the cable had passed away, we awoke to the consciousness that the case was still as hopeless as ever, for the electrical continuity was still entirely 'wanting. Preparations were consequently made to pay out as little cable as possible, and to hold on for six hours, in the hope that the fault, whatever it might have been, might mend itself before cutting the cable, and return ing to the rendezvous to make another splice. The magnetic needles on the receiving instruments were watched closely for the returning signal., when in a few minutes the last hope was extinguished by their suddenly indicating " dead earth," which tended to show that the cable had broken from the Niagara, or that the insulation had been com pletely destroyed. In three minutes, however, every one was agreeably surprised by the intelligence that the stop page had disappeared, and that the signals had again appeared at their regular intervals from the Niagara. It is needless to say what a load of anxiety that news re moved from the minds of every one ; but the general cenfi dence in the ultimate success of the operation was much shaken by the occurrence, for all felt that at nay minute a similar accident might occure e Feer some time the paying out ...../rutrea as usual, but towards the morning another damaged place was discovered in the cable. There wts, fortunately, however, time to repair it in the hold, without in any way interfering with the operations, beyond for a time slightly reducing the speed of the ship. During the morning of Friday, the 30th, everything went well ; the ship had been kept at the speed of about 5 knots, the cable going out at about the average angle with the horizon at which it left the ship being about 15 degrees, while the indicated strain upon the dynamometer seldom showed more than 1,6001 b. or 1,70.1 b. Observations made at noon showed that we bad made good 98 miles from the starting point since the previous day, with an expenditure, including the loss in lowering the splice and during the subsequent stoppages of 135 miles of cable. During the latter portion of the day the barometer fell considerably and towards the evening it blew almost a gale of wind from the eastward dead ahead of our course. As the breeze freshened the speed of the engines was gradually increased ; but the wind more than increased in proportion, so that before the sun went down the Agamemnon was going full speed against the wind, and only making a speed of about faur knots an hour. Durieg the evening topmasts were lowered, and spars, yards, sails, and, indeed, every thing aloft that could offer resistance to the wind, was sent down en deck; but still the ship made but little way, chiefly in con& quence of the heavy sea. The eaormous quantity of fuel consumed showed us that if the wind lasted we should be reduced to burning masts, spars, and even the decks, to bring the ship into Valentia. It seemed to be our ill-fortune to meet with bead winds whichever way the ship's head was turned. On our journey out we had been delayed and obliged to consume an undue proportion of coal for want of an easterly wind, and now all our fuel was wanted hrcouse of one. However, during next day, the wind gradually went round to the S.W., which, though it raised a very heavy sea, it allowed us to husband our small remaining store of fuel. At noon on Saturday, .; tily 31, observations showed us to be in lat. 52 deg. 23 min. N., and long. 26 deg. 41 min. W., having made good 120 miles of distance since noon of the previous ::ay, with a loss of about 27 per cent. of cable. The Niagara, as far as could be judged from the amount of cable she paid out, which, by a previous arrangement, was signalled at every ten miles, kept pace with us within one or two miles the whole dis tance aeress. During the afternoon of Saturday the wind again freshened up, and before nightfall it again blew near ly a gale and a tremendous sea ran before it from the south-west, which made the Agamemnon pitch to such an extent that it was thought impossible the cable cl od hold on through the night. Indeed, had it not been for the constant care and watchfulness exercised by Mr. Bright, and the two energetic engineers, Mr. Canning and Mr. Clifford, who acted with him, it could not have been done at all. Men were kept at the 'wheels of the machine to prevent them stopping, as the stern of the ship rose and fell with the sea. glad they done so, the cable must un doubtedly have parted. During Sunday the sea and wind increased, and before the evening it blew a smart gale. Now, indeed, was the energy and activity of all engaged in the operation taxed to the utmost. Mr. Hoar and Mr. Mcore, the two engineers who had the charge: of the re lieving wheel of the dynamometer, had to keep watch and watch alternately every four hours, and while on duty not dating to let their attention be removed from their occupa tion for one moment, for on their releasing the breaks every time the stern of the ship fell into the trough of the sea, entirely depended the safety of the cable, and the result shows how ably they discharged their duty. Throughout the night there were few who had the least expectation of the cable holding on till morning, and many remained awake listening for the sound that all most dreaded to hear, viz., the gun which would announce the failure of ill our hopes, but still the cable, which in comparison with the ship from which it was p'id out, and the gigantic waves among which it was delivered, was but a mere thread, continued to hold on, only leaving a silvery phesphorescent line upon the stupendous seas es they rolled on towards the ship. With Sunday morning camo no improvement in the wc at her ; still the sky remained black and stormy t o wind ward, an-t oho ceaetent sic'_:,,t• F';',:atl; of ;sirs! arc] ra'r pies - ailed dining the a Lole day served to keep up, if not to augment, the height of the waves. Eat the cable had gene through so much during the alight that our confi dence in its continuing to hold was much restored. At noon observations showed us to be in lat. 52 deg. 26 nun. N., and long. 23 deg. 16 min. W., having made good 130 m il es f ro m noon of previous day, and abut 350 from our starting point in mid-ocean. We bad passed by the deepest smnding of 2,400 fathoms, and over more t h an h a l ht • the deep wa t e r generally, while the amount of cable still remaining in the ship was more than sufficient to carry us to the Irish coast, even supposing the continuance of the bad weather should oblige us to pay out the same amouut of looked very promising for our ultimate success. But former experience showed us only too plainly that we could never be sure that come accident might not arise until the ends Lad been fairly landed on the opposite shores. During Sunday night and Monday morning the weather continued as boisterous as ever, and it was only by the most indefatigable exertions of the engineer upon duty that the wheels could be prevented from stopping altogether as the vessel rose and fell with the sea, and once or twice they did come completely to a standstill, in spite of all that could be done to keep them moving ; but fortunately they were again set in motion before the:stern of the ship was thrown up by the succeeding wave. No strain could be placed upon the cable of course, and though the dynamo meter occasionally registered 1,7001 b. as the ship lifted, it was oftener below 1,0001 b., and was frequently no thing at all, the cable running oat as fast as its own weight and the speed of the ship could draw it. But even with all these forces acting unresistedly upon it, the cable never paid itself out at a greater speed than eight knots an hour, and at the time the ship was going at the rate of six and a half knots. Subsequently, however, when the speed of the ship even exceeded six and a half knots, the cable never ran out so quick. The average speed maintained by the ship up to this time, and indeed for the whole voyage, was about five and a-half knots, the cable, with occasional exceptions, running about 30 per cent. faster. At neon on Monday (August 2) observations showed as to be in lat. 52 deg. 35 min. N., long. 19 deg. -18 min. W., having made good 127! I miles since noon of the previous flay, and completing snore than half-way to our ultimate destination. Dating the of e , :to •n in Americus there tnasted schooner, which afterwards proved to be the Chieftain, was seen standing from the eastward towards us. No notice was taken of her at first, but when she was with in about half a mile of the Agamemnon, she altered her course, and bore right down upon our haws. A collision, which might prove fatal to the cable, now seemed inevitable, or ceuld only be avoided by the equally hazardous expedient of altering the Agamemnon's course. The Valorous steamed ahead and fired a gun for her to heave to, which, as she did not appear to take much notice of, was quickly followed by another from the bows of the Agamemnon, and a second and third from the Valorous, but still the vessel held on her course, and, as the only resource left to avoid a collision, the course of the Agamemnon was altered, just in time to pass within a few yards of her. It was evident that our proceed ings were a source of the greatest possible astonishment to them, for all her crew crowded upon her deck and rigging. At length they eventually discovered who we were, and what we were doing, for the crew manned the rigging, and dipping the ensign several times, they gave us three hearty cheers. Though the Agamemnon was obliged to acknowledge these congratulations in due form, the feelings of annoyance with which we regarded the vessel which, either by the stupidity or carelessness of those on board, was so near adding a fatal and unexpected mishap to the long chapter of accidents which had already been encountered, may easily be imagined. To those below who, of course did not see the ship ap proaching, the sound of the first gun came like a thunder bolt, for all took it as the signal of the breaking of the cable. The dinner tables were deserted in a moment, and a general rush made up the hatches to the deck, but before reaching it these fears were quickly banished by the report of the succeeding guns, which all knew well could only be caused by a ship in sea-way or a man overboard. Throughout the greater portion of Monday morning the electrical signals from the Niagara bad been getting gradually weaker until they ceased altogether for nearly three-quarters of an hour. Our uneasiness, how ever, was in some degree lessened by the fact that the stop page appeared to be a want of continuity and not any defect in insulation, and there was consequently every reason to suppose that it might arise from faulty connection on board the Niagara. Accordingly, Professor Thomson sent a mes sage to the effect that the signals were too weak to be read, and, as if they had been awaiting such a signal to increase their battery power, the deflections immediately returned even stronger than they bad ever been before. Towards the evening, however, they again declined in force for a short time. With the exception of these little stoppages the elec trical condition of the submerged wire seemed to be much improved. It was evident that the low temperature of the water at the immense depth improved considerably the insu lating properties of the gutta percha, while the enormous pressure to which it must have been subjected probably tended to consolidate its texture, and to fill up any bubbles or slight faults in manufacture which may have existed. The weather during Monday night moderated a little, but still there was a very heavy sea, which endangered the wire every second minute. About three o'clock on Tuesday morning all .on board were startled from their beds by the loud lymnning of a gun ; every one, without waiting for the performance of the most particular toilet, rushed on deck to ascertain the cause of the disturbance. Contrary to all expectation the cable was safe; but just in the grey light could be seen the Valorous rounded-to in the most warlike attitude, firing gun after gun in quick succession towards a large American barque, which was, quite unconscious of our proceedings, stand ing right across our stern. Such loud and re peated remonstrances from a large steam frigate were not to be despised, and, evidently without knowing the why or the wherefore, she quickly threw her sails aback and remained hove to. Whether those on board her considered that we were engaged in some filibustering expedition, or regarded our proceedings as another Instance of British in terference with the American flag, it is impossible to say ; but certain it is that, apparently in great trepidation, she remained hove to until we had lost sight of her in the dis tance. Tuesday was a much finer day than any we bad experienced for nearly a week, but still there was a cen derable sea running, and our dangers were far from passed ; yet the hopes of our ultimate success ran high. We had accomplished nearly the whole of the deep sea por tion of the route in safety, and that, too, under the most unfavourable circumstances possible ; therefore, there was every reason to believe that, unless some unforeseen accident should occur, we should accomplis't the remainder. Observa tions at noon placed us in lat. 52 deg. 20 min. N., long. 16 deg. 7 uuin. 40 sec. W., having run 134 miles since the previous day. About five o'clock in the evening the steep submarine mountain which divides the telegraphic plateau from the Irish coast was reached, and the effect of the sudden shallow ness of the water had a very marked effect upon the cable, causing the straits on, and the spied of it, to lessen every minute. A great deal of slack was paid out to allow for any greater inequalities which may exist than those discovered by the sounding line. About 10 o'clock the shoal water of 2,50 fathoms was reached. One only remaining anxiety now was the changing from the lower main exit to that upon the upper deck, and this most difficult and dangerous operation was successfully perf,rmed between three and four o'clock on Wednesday morning. Wednesday was a beautifully calm day ; indeed, it was the first on which any one would have thought of inking a splice since the day we started from the rendezvous ; we therefore congratulated ourselves on having saved a week by commencing operations on the Thursday previous. At noon we were in lat. 52 deg. 11 min. N., lobg. 12 deg. 40 min. 2 sec. W.,89 miles distant from the telegraph station at Valentia. The water was shallow, so that there was no difficulty in paying out. We were almost without any loss by slack, and all locked upon the undertaking as virtually accomplished. At about nine o'clock in the even, inn, the second change from the upper deck coil to that on the orlop deck was easily effected, and shortly after the vessels exchanged signa's that they were in 200 fathoms of water. As the night advanced the speed of the ship was reduced, as it was known that we were only a short distance from the land, and there would be no advantage in making it before daylight in the morning. About 12, however, the Skelley's Light was seen in the distance, and the Valorous steamed on ahead to lead us to the coast, firing rockets at inter vals to direct. us, which were answered from the Agamemnon, though, according to Mr. Moriarty's (the master's) wish, the ship, disregarding the Valorous, kept her own course, which proved to be the right one in the end. By daylight on the morning of Thursday the bold and rocky mountains which entirely surround the wild and picturesque neigh bourhood of Valentia rose right before as at a few miles' distance. Never, probably, was the sight of land more welcome to us, as it brought to a successful termination one of the great st, but, at the sametime, most difficult schemes which was ever undertaken. Had it been the dullest and most uninteresting desert on the face of the earth that lay before us, we should have found it a pleasant prospect. But as the sun rose from the estuary of Dingle Bay, tinging with a deep soft purple the lefty summits of the steep mountains which surround its shores, and illuminating the nasses of vapour which hung upon them, it was a scene which might vie in beauty with anything that could be produced by th e most florid imagination of an artist. onc on store was apparently conscious of nor approneh, so the Valufmts steamed ahead t..; ill LL !.. and fired a gun. Both ships made direct for Doulus Bay, and about six o'clock came to an anchor at the side of Be ginnes I s land, opposite to Valentia. As soon as the inhabi tants became aware of our approach there was a general desertion of the place, and hundreds of boats crowded round us, their passengers in the greatest state of excitement to hear all about cur voyage. The Knight of Kerry was absent i n Dingle, but a messenger was immediately despatched for him, and be soon arrived in her Majesty's gunboat Sham rock. Soon after our arrival a signal was received from the Niagara that they- were preparing to land, having paid out 1,000 nautical miles of cable, while the Agamemnon had accomplished her portion of the distance with an ex• penditure of 1,020 miles, making the total length of the wire submerged 2,0-50 geographical miles. Immediately after the ships cast anchor the paddle-box boa's of the Valorous were got ready, and two miles ofcable coiled away in them, for the purpose of landing the end, but it was late in the afternoon before the precession of boats left the ship under a salute of three rounds of small arms from the de tachment of marines on board the Agamemnon, under the command of Lieut. Morris. The progress of the end to the shore was very slow, in consequence of the very stiff wind which blew at the time; but at three o'clock the end was safely brought on shore at Knightstown, Valentin, by Mr. Bright and Mr. Canning, the chief and second engineers, to whose exertions the success of the undertaking is attri butable, and the Knight of Kerry. The end was imme diately laid on the trench which had been dug to receive it, while a royal salute, making the neighbouring rocks and mountains reverberate, announced that the communi cation between the Old an d N ew W or ld s h a d been com pleted. The end was i mme di a t e l y t a k en i n t o th e e l e etricvl room by Mr. Whitehouse, and attached to a galvanometer, and the first message was received through the entire length. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the officers and men of the Agamemnon for the hearty way in which they have assisted in the arduous and difficult service they have been engaged iu, and the admirable manner in which the ship was navigated by Mr. Moriarty and Mr. Lebbey, the first and second mates, reduced the difficulties of the com pany's operations. It will in all probability be nearly a fortnight before the instruments are completed up to the two termini for the transmission of regular signals. It unrre , s-,ry e7. - pa'ir.te upon the magnitude of the undei taking which has been just completed, or upon the great pelitical and social results which are likely to arise from it, but there cannot be but one feeling of universal admiration for the courage and perscl entice which has been displayed by Mr. Bright, and these who acted under his orders, in encountering the multiplied difficulties arrested their path at every step.—fleredd.

HEALTH OFLONDONDURING THE WEEK (From the Registrar-General's Report.) Twelve hundred deaths were registered in London in the meek ending Saturday, Aug. 7. - the ten years 1848-57 the average number o f deaths in corresponding weeks - was 1,172; but as the deaths now returned becurred in a popu lation which has annually increased, they can only be corn pared with the average after the latter is raised in proportion to the increase, a correction which will make it 1,289. It is necessary, however, to remark that the series of weeks from which the average is drawn, comprises two weeks, viz., one in 1849, another in 184, when cholera was epidemic and caused excessive mortality ; and if the comparison is made only with seasons not so distinguished, it will appear that the mot tality of last week was not low, but rattier exceeded the average. The "healthy rate" of mortality as it is derived from those districts of Eugland where the mortality is lowest, though not so low as when sanitary principles are better understo;ol and applied it will become, would have produced 799 deaths in the week in a population equal to that which exists in London. The present return, therefore, shows an excess of about 4C03 constituting what may be called the unnatural part of the mortality. It is satisfactory to observe that the deaths from diarrheca, which had risen from 1:27 to 168 in the last week of J uly, declined again last week to 130. The corrected average for ten corresponding weeks is 17:2; and in the first week of August last year the number from this complaint rose to 258. Fifteen deaths were reported in the previous return from cholera ; the number now returned is only 5, two of which are those of adult=, a brewer who died from "English cholera" in Bermondsey, and a labalirer in Woolwich Ar senal, who died of cholera affer a few hours' illness. Scar latina appears to be increasing; tie deaths from it in the last three weeks were 58, 78, and 86. Mr. Simpson, the Reeistrar of St. Giles, North, regi-tered 5 deaths from scar latina last week ; he states that it is much on the increase in his sub-district, and mentions a house, 25, High-street, where three fatal cases of tine disease have occurred within a week. Six nonagenarians died in the week ; the tno eldest were a woman, aged 95 years, who died in the workhouse, Lam beth, and a widow, aged 99, who had lived in Charlotte street, Tottenham- eon! t- road. Last week the births of 795 boys and 753 girls, in all 1,553 children, were regis•ered in London. In the ten corre sponding. weeks of the years 1813-57 the average nutukr was 1,505. ANALYSIS OP METROPOLITAN WATERS. Tile waters supplied by the metropolitan companies have been examined during the month of July by Dr. Robert Dundasj Thomson, F.R.S., of St. Thomas's Hospital. For the sake of comparison the composition of some other waters supplied to provincial towns is added. The water of Loch Katrine is iu process of being introduced to the city of Glasgow ; the water from the river Dee supplies the in habitants of Aberdeen; the source of the water empl►yed at Stirling is the adjoiniug hills, the supply being brought in by the town on the security of the water rates. The im purity is indicated in degrees or grains per gallon. FATAL GUN ACCIDENT.-011 Wednesday morning, William Robinson Bower, the yoot , gest sou of Mr. Samuel Bower, manufnc:urer, of " The Hey," near Marsden, was accidentally shot by his own gun. About haif-past nine o'clock in the morning, the deceased, accompanied by a ser vant named Flank Bunforth, went upon some hilly pa-tore pound, the property of his father, and situate behind Mr. Bower's residence, fur the purpose of shouting sparrows. The man had been sent forward to start tEe birds, and thc deceased, with his bladed gun, prepared to cross a fence. To accomplish this he ptsscd his gun over tie fence, hotl ine it by the muzzle, the butt end testing upon the ground. lie leaned forward 'A itti Lis breast upon the gun barrel, and was in the act of springing over, when, owing to sonic cir cumstance, the gun went oil; 8114 the entire charge was lodged iu the youth's breast. Ile placed his band upon the place, exclaimed " Oh, Frank !" took three or four paces forward, then fell upon his face, awl all was over. The de ceased was 18 years of age, and a flue vigorous youth.— Huddcr.v/ield Chronicle. SAD ACCIDENT.--A mother and her son, agcd four years, came to Liverpool from Manchester by an eatly train an Saturday morning; the father followed at nine o'clock, to learn on his arrival that his son had been killed, having been run over in the street by a cart, through the carelessness of the driver, The deceased was John Henry Riddell, son of Mr. William Riddell, bookkeeper, of 2, As worth-terrace, Regent-road, Salford. On arriving at Liver pool, Mrs. Riddell and Mr. Samsel Occlestone, overlooker at Mr. Harter's factory, Irwell-street, Salford, who accom panied her, partook of breakfast at Elston's sprit vaults, in Roe-street. The account for breakfast was bring :afire' when alum was given that a child had been run over in the street. Mrs. Riddell, missing her little bay, Exclaimed, "Go and see if it is our Johnny ;" and her misgiving was in stantly realised. The little fellow had wandered out of the door upon the flags, at the edge of which he stumbled and fell, at the corner of Roe-street and Murray-street. Just at that moment there came along Murray-sere t a one-eorre cart, dtiven tepidly and carelessly, and (low to the curb stone, by William Jones, who sat in front of the cart, with the reins in his hands, and unconsciously drove over the child, breaking some of his limbs and jamming his head be tween the rim of the wheel and the curbstone. The child died almost immediately front the injuries received nod general slicck to the nervous system. The inquest was held in the afternoon. The jury coupled with their verdict a presentment of severe censure upon the driver for his reck lessness. — Liverpool Mercury.
