MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocx. Accounts from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yest.rday presented a very heavy appearance, and prices of all descriptioi,s were un altered. The sales were estimated at 4,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the speculators. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and the quo tations slightly declined. The official returns relating to trade and naviga tion for the four months, ending the 30th April, have been published. From these it appears that the total declared value of the exports from the 'United Kingdom for the above period was 3461,7231. against 38,813,337/. in the like period of 18 57, being a decrease of 5,851,6141. The de crease is perceptible in coals and culm, cotton in anufacture4, earthenware, haberdashery and hardwares and cutlery, linen manu factures, linen yarn, silk manufactures, thrown Bil k, British spirits, sugar, sheep and lambs' wool, Woollen manufactures, and woollen and worsted Yarn. The importation of the principal articles wore larger in respect to coffee, corn, flour, guano, rice, Clo ves, pepper, and unrefined sugar ; but there is a decrease in live animals, cocoa, raw cotton, dyeing Stu ffs, flax, fruit, provisions, raw silk, tallow, tea, tobacco, wine, and sheep and lambs' wool. The shipping accounts exhibit a slight increase in th e amount -of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the four months 58 regards the entries inwards, but there is a de crease in the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade for the same period, com pared with that of the previous year, there is a de crease in the tonnage both in entries inwards and olearairces outwards. Small amounts of gold continue to flow into the I € l, alc of England, which together with the sluggish aelaand for money, and increasing resources of the national establishment have revived the discussion With respect to the possibility of a reduction in the official terms of discount. The expectation of such Inesure, however, is far from being general, not- Withstanding the accumulation of notes and gold. he current terms for accommodation range as low 21 par cent., but the average quotation is 21 per cent. From the report issued by the Trust and Loan C ompany of Upper Canada, it appears that the directors will be prepared to declare a dividend at t he rate of 7 per cent. per annum, and to increase the reserve fund to 16,5531. 21. e The annual General meeting of the Oriental Gas Ban any took pl ace t o -d ay ; C apta i n James barber presiding. The report stated that gas and hidhting was at l as t introiuced in Calcutta, a w h ere lanips were est a bli s h e d i n th e pr i nc i pal streets, a co excited the w on d er o f th e na ti ve?, who ntinually resorted there. It was most painful b to th e di rectors to report that their engineers had 'ell all carried off by cholera, but subs quent ar rangements had been made fur extending the ad 'antages of gas, which had progressed in spite of the mutiny. The sum spent hitherto had been stout 71,0001., and the remainder had been judi e:°llslyinvested at a high interest; so that the bene fit Could be (riven to the shareholders in the shape ndividend on tl.e registered shares. Tuis was 'lei at 4 per cent. per annum, and was agreed to, W hen the report was adopted, and a vote of thanks Wa s passed to the directors. In the market for Public Securities to-day there 41 8 not been much variation, the speculators bring 40 W deterred from active dealing through the l' l nXimity of settling day. Th e other departments °f the "House" are eqUally quiet, and the brokers c omplain of the general indisposition now evinced to enter into operetions. At the same time, it must bz remarked that the Funds, if they appear dull, are nevertheless very firai, the daily fluctuation r arely exceeding per cent.

ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir Joim Romilly.) .TIIILLON V. EVANS, &c. His Honour the Master of the R )11s, in delivering judgment, said the object of this suit was to make the defendants account to the plaintiff for the profits obtained by them in their character of agents for the plaiatiff in forming a c - anpany, and in carrying on the busines3 of the plaintiff as patentee of the Rritish and Foreign Candle Company, and also in granting license of the patent, and in negotiating and effecting a sale of the patent right of the plaintiff. . - His Honour, after considering the correspondence, that passed between the parties, the evidence in the cause, and contract of copartnery, came to the conch &on that the plaintiff had not supported his case by sufficient evidence ; and, therefore, the bill must be dismissed. The bill was dismiss©d without cost., as against Mr. Rogers, but with costs as against all the other parties. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco before Lord Campbell, Justices Cole ridge, Erie, and Crompton.) THE LATE FRAUDS ON THE CITY OF LONDON UNION.- WADDINOTON V. THE GUARDIANS OF THE CITY OF LONDON UNION. Lord Campbell this morning delivered judgment in this case. The pla'ntiff was an officer of one of the city parishes comprised in the above union, and bad in his official capacity declined to pay up certain calla made by the guardians towards liquidating overdue trades men's bills, to the extent of 23,0001., and also for the payment of 4,2001. overdrawn on the treasuries. The plaintiff refused payment principally on the ground that the arrears had arisen through the frauds and defal cations cf Maurice, collector for - nine of the parishes in the union, and also to Paul's clerk to the board of direc tors, 1856. It was contended by the plaintiff that Maurice was not the collector for the parish in question, and, consequently, that the parish ought not to be called upon to pay any portion of the defalcations of the collec tors of other parishes. The Court held that these offi cers were the officers of the union generally, and as such the parishes forming the union were bound to make up any deficiencies that might arise. Judgment for the defendant°. THE POPLAR BOARD OF HEALTH V. KNIGHT AND ANOTHER In this case the respondents had cut away certain portions of the marsh wall and built houses thereon, which the appellants had demolished and claimed two sums of 51. 5 61. and 21/ 14.. 21, expenses incurred in so doing. The question was whether the wall in question was to be considered as a sewer under the act. The court held that as the wall answered the purpose of preventing the Thames from overflowirg the Isle of Dogs, it was to be taken as answering the purpose of draining the Isle of D , gs on the surface as much as the sewers underneath at low water, and that, conse quently, it was to be considered as a sewer for the pur pose of the Local Act, and the Board of Health had full power to deal with it as if it were a sewer, and they were justified in doing what tbey did. The Court gave judg ment for the appellants, directing the respondents to pay the sums claimed and certain costs. Mr. Justice Crompton was not satisfied that the wall was;to be consi lered aq a sewer under this act. Judgment f it the appellants. BRITISH EMPIRE SHIPPING 003IPANY V. JONES- (This Day).

Tbis was a special case for the judgment of the Court. The defendant had repaired the plaintiffs' ship, and de tained her in his dock as a lien for the repairs, charging at the rate of 11. a day compensation for the use of his dock. The question was the defendant's right to detain the ship against the phint:ffs' will and charge them for the use of the dock. . The Court said there was no custom or usage for such a course of proceeding, and the defendant had faded to make out his claim at common law. Judgment fez th© plairtiff. COURT OF EXCIIEQUER. Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chit-f Baron Pollock, Mr. Baron Martin, Mr. Baron Branavveli, and Mr, Baron Watßon ) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SHIELD -1NC)513-TAX RETURNS This was an information file i by the Attorney-Gen eral against the defendant, a widow lady, to recover penalties far non-deductions from her annuity of 1001. per aanutn for ircome-tax, und'r the statute. The trial took place at the last alter-'_ertn sittings, before Mr. Baron Martin, at Westminster, when it was shown that the defendant was entitled, on the thatii of her husband, to an annuity of 1001. a year, free of all deductions. Under the advice of her attorney, when the income tax was charged on incomes of 1001. a year, she refused to allow the deductions to the tenants of the property from which her income was dzrived, and in one instance the attorney diArAined on the tenants hr the deduction. The defendant pleaded that, under her marriage settle ment, she was not liable to the tax ; bat Vie jury found a verdict for the Crown in two penalties of 50/. each, and leave was given the defendant to move to enter the verdict f r her, if the Court should be of opinion that the income was not chargeable under the terms of the marriage settlement.

IMPORTANT TO PERSONS BECOMING AGENTS.-TIIORLET V. BURGE. This was an action to recover the sum of 61. 153, for goods sold and delivered. Mr. Charnock was for the plaintiff, and stated that the plaintiff was a manufacturer of some improved cattle food, and that the defendant, who carried on business at Taunton, in Somerset, Lad applied for and been supplied with goods to the full amount ; and on being waited on by the plaintiff's traveller, defendant admitted that he -bad sold a portion, and promised to remit the money, which, however, he had not done. Plaint,ff's traveler was called, and gave evidence to that tffect ; but on the part of the defendant, it was urged that he had only been acting as plaintiff's agent, and that the goods bad been sent to him in that capacity, and not as a customer. Mr. Raymond, for the defendant, put in several letters, with a view of showing that defendant, on seeing some advertisement in the papers that the plaintiff was de sir•ms of appointing agelats, wrote and offered his ser vices, and on the next day he received an answer accept ing of them, and s ubsequently samples, testimonials, aid show card , , $3., were sent to him, and of er wards goods in bulk to the amount charged. An invoice was made out to the defendant, but be considered it merely formal after the letters which had passed. Defendant %Nail called in support of this, and denied that ho ever promised t o sen d the money, but he had written to say he was willing to pay for what he Lad sal I, less c although he hag not received the money from his customers, and whom he coon trust, and offered t.) return the remainder of the stock if the plaintiff was dissatisfied with his agency ; but no arrangement had been made, and since then he had sold about two-thirds of the stock, which he was prepared to pay, but objected to meet the demand as a sale, and incur all the costs cf the action. The learned Secondary left it to the jury to say whether it was a sale to defendant as a customer, or sent to him as an agent , who was to accou n t f or sa l es only. If they were of the latte r op i n i on, defendant would not be liable in this actio n . The jury gave a verdict for defendant.

A DRUNKEN AND DISHONEST SERVANT.—EIIen Clark was placed at the bar, charged under the following cir cumstances : Mr. Colombine, solicitor, of 21, Margaret-street, Cavfndish.squ are , sa id t h e pr i soner had b een in his service for about five weeks, and that on the previous day, on rtturning home in the afternoon, he found her lying before the kitchen fire perfectly drunk. On the previous day he had had some wine and brandy sent home, and on looking he found two bottles of sherry and one of brandy were gone. He sent far a constable, who found in the prisoner's pocket part of a bottle which bad evidently contained brandy or wine, The prisoner was in such a beastly state of intoxication that she could not walk, so that she was compelled to be taken away in a cab, He had lost several things while the prisoner had been with him, but all he wanted was to get rid of the woman, as she was a nuisance. Police-constable Horne said the prisoner told him she had taken a little of her master's wine to drink. Prisoner said when the wine came home she put it on a dresser, and broke some of the bottles by accident.. Mr. Bingham asked how she accounted for being found on the floor drunk? Prisoner said she had met a young man who bad given her some brandy to drink, and that afterwards she had saved a little from one of the bottles, and had drunk that also, Remanded. THAMES. A VERY COOL PROCEEDING.—WiIIiam Fry, a tAll, dirty-looking fellow, aged 28, was brought b-fore Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a pair of wooden steps, the property of Mr. James George Poole, pawnbroker, 184, High-street, Sbadwell, Mr. Poole said he suddenly missed a pair cf Lfty steps from his shop. He ran into the street and saw the prisoner with them on his shoulders. The prisoner was staggering under the weight of them. He told him to put them down, which he did, and then laid hold of witness by the loins and tried to throw him on the ground. He struggled with th 9 prisoner, and a police man came up and secured him. He was severely injured by the prisoner, who gave utterance to the most foul abuse. A policeman here produced the steps. Mr. Yardley thought the constable ought not to have burthened himself with them, but left them in the pawn broker's shop, where they were no doubt wanting to enable the assistants to reach the upper shelves. He supposed the steps were for that purpose. Mr. Poole—Yes, sir. I had used the steps only a minute before they were stolen. The prisoner here said, "I did not steal tlie steps at all." Mr. Yardley—What explanation have you to offer :o this The, pri:=oner—A man came up to me and said, " Will you earn a shilling I" "To be sure I will said I. "Then go and fetch those steps out of the pawnbroker's shop," said he, and I did so—that's all. Mr Yardley—The most cool proceeding I ever heard of. You are remanded. Some inquiries must be made about you. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER. May 25.—The market has been quiet, but the inactivity is not greater than m'ght be expected in a holiday week. Prices are slightly affected by the easier state of the Liverpool cotton m-trket, and an impression, right or wrong, that the raw material will ba still cheaper induces the buyer to press for lower terms in goods. So far as long cloths, T cloth., and most fabric., except India shirtings, are concerned, sellers exhibit much firmness. For India shirt ings the decline annourced. by last advices has had some eff,:ct on seller., and we may quote them lid. to 3d. per piece under the value of 10 days age. A little more business has been doing in light printers for the Levant, but other kinds of these fabrics are sill dull of sale. In yarns the demand is quite as languid as for cloths. The principal business has been in low numbers of mule and water for the Mediterran ean , and it, water twist for China, at steady ra t es . The home trade has been quiet, and the offers for India have been few, and generally too low for spinners to accept. Where any pressure to sell has been felt pr . ces have given way id. to Id. per lb. ; but generally this has not been the case, many orders having still to run, which will keep mills going fk r some time forward. Messrs. Slagg, and Co. report : Ther? is little or no chango in t'te market to day. If anything ihe demand for goods of all kinds, owing to the holidays, and the downward tendency of the cotton-market is on a still more limited scale than even during the last fortnight, btit with the exception of India shi-tiugs, which have slightly declined in value, the ptio.is of last wt ek are firmly maintained." LEEDS, May 25.—Being Whitsureide holidays there hai been a thin attendance both of mannfae Curers and merchants. in the cloth-halls this morn ing. Ti:,e tone of tin mArket was firm and cheer ful, lytt only a very Bala!' amount of cloth changed hands. HUDDERSFIELD, Alay 25 —The market has been of much the same character on this d►y se'nnight. A few choice lots of goods have b, , eu but there has been little done in the market generally, the purchase of goods for the firll trade not having commenced. CRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAY, Tuesday, May 25.—Admissions on payment, 11,367 ; ditto by season tickets, 622 ; visitors', 11,939. A despatch from Mllaq of the 20th states that Man z,ni, the poet, is danger:,usly ill, He has been bled FCVVII times. The Eoneu, with the outward Australian mail (.1 the 12th tilt:, arrived a'; Aden two days b• fore her time. It I probable that she will make the quickest passage to Australia on record. THE MEDITERRANEAN.—Tbe eatterly 'wind which set in at an early hour this morning has enabled the nume rous windbound vessels in the bay to set sail fit the westward. A large number from the Algesiras roadsted, and from behind the rock likewise, took advantage of this opportunity.—G ibraltar Chronicle, May 17. At the Russian chapel at Paris the marriage of Prince Orloff and of the Princess Troubetskoi was celebrated the day before yesterday. Count de Kisseleff gave away the bride in the name of the Empsror Alexander. Prince Orloff, who was plenipotentiary of Russia in the first Conference of Paris, was present at the marriage of his son. The latter distinguished himself at Silistria, tit the siege of which he received several wsunds. INTENDED RESIGNATION 07 THE BISHOP OF ROCHES TER.—It was stated in Rochester, on Saturday, that the Lord Bishop of the eiecese bad announced his intention of resigning the see, provided such a course met with the approval of the Government. Dr. Murray, Bishop of Rochester, is the oldest bishop of the English episcopal church, having been consecrated in the year 1813, and translated to the see of Rochester in 1827. The episco pal revenue of R chaster is 5,0001. per annum, and, should the rumoured resignation be carried into effect, Lord Derby will have placed at his disposal the first vacant bishopric.—South Eastern Gazeite of yesterday. REMOVAL 07 IRISH PAUPERS.—At the Liverpool Select Vestry yesterday (Tuesday) a conversation took place relative to the proposed re-enactment of the Irish Pauper Removal Bili, one clause of which requires that a pauper shall only be removed by a warrant granted by a magistrate in petty sessions, and that he shall be "delivered" by a pereon who must accompany him from the place of his removal. As upwards of 2,000 paupers are annually removed from Liverpool, this clause will cause an irnmero e expenditure of the parish funds. It was resolved to send a deputation to London to co-ope rate with other parishes in opposing the bill. FIRE IN GEORGE -STREET, BLACKFRIARS-ROAD,—Yer terday morning at half past six, a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Jackson and Co., hatters, No. 28, George street, Blackfriars-road. Toe inmates, smelling the smoke, jumped out of bed, and made for the stairs, but a large body of flames amid be seen rolling upward., indicating that all egre , s by the asual means was cut off. They, therefore, ran to the frint windows, and screamed pitiably far help. The neighbours procured ladders, and rescued Mr. Jackson, Mre. Jackson, and six children. Had it not; have been for the perseverance f the neighbours the whole eight persons must have been suffocsted. Engines and a powerful body of fire men were shortly on the spot, and with a good Flipp!) , of water the fire was subdued, but not until consider abl3 damage was done to the workshops and stock. The cause is unknown. Contents insured in the Unity. BURNING or THE SHIP MAZESTIC.—Mr. Wolfenden, of the late firm of Stansfield and Wolfenden, engravers to calico printers, Manchester, and his family, were elite sengers on board the ship Majestic, from Liverpool to Prince Edward's Island. The ship left Liverpool on the Sth April. On the 27th of . that month it was discovered that the ship was on fire, some oakum in the hold having been ignited. Mr. Wolfenden, in relating the progress of the lire, states that, in order to have clear room for the crew to arrest the flames, the passengers went into the boats, and were towed by the ship till about mid night. As the fire did not increase they were all taken on board again, in order that more sail might b 3 made, and to avoid the hardship of exposure as long as po , sible. The crew and - passengers were divided into gangs, in order to have some one constantly at work drawing up water, while others dashed it down the sky light. With the exception of Clegg ann Curran, the two chief officer., who were a'most helplessly intoseiceted all the time, the crew worked well to save the ship. The female passengers geresally bore up with remaikabie fortitude. A young lady, Miss Warburton, a native of the island, daughter of the Colonial Secretary, and a Mrs. Tent, of the steers,[4e passengers, sat an admirables example, doing all in their power to add a little to the comfort of the men by sup plying them with hot tea, food, and moderate allowances of grog. and cheering them with kind words as they came into the forecastle, wet, c ild, exhausted, and frequently dispirited. On the Thursday, when I the crew w ere ex h aus t e d, w h en prov i s i ons were low, and the destruction of the ship seemed inevit able, a steamer hove in sight, bore down in answer to I the signal of distress, and all hands were taken on hoard and kindly treated, and the burning s hip was left in ab int let. 46 N., and long. 50.50 W. Toe spirits in the hold had taken fire as the captain in the last boat left her. She could nut last many hours longer.— Liverpool Albion. 1858. 7 rimr Mlifttion suN OFFICE, Seven o'Oock.

The remarks which we made en the preli minary proceedings on Monday were fully justified by the promptitude with which all persons put in an appearance at the corner. No grumbling was heard, and, indeed, certain persons who were in dtfault last year will, it is expected, be enabled by the result of the recent Derby and Oaks to meet the claims of their creditors. It is anticipated that a Mr. K—, an Irish gentleman, will be among-t the first to make arrangements for the set!lement of his old accounts. Until late in the evening very little betting took place on coming events. Speculation on the D:rby of 1859 was'pursued with much briskness. Merry man was supported at 18 to-1, and Riiubow was in much force at 25 to 1. Actaeon was advanced from 40 to 1 to 35 to 1. and 2,000 to 60, and siOse quently 40 "ponies" were booked about Vault, a stable companion of Merryman. 1,000 to 40 was laid twice against The Lark, and Brother to Sydney was booked at 1,000 to 30 and 1,000 to 4► ; some investments were made on Viking at 33 and 40 to 1. The transactions on the handicap events were unimportant. CLOSING PRICES.

Galignani's Messenger has a full account of the running of the French "Derby" at Chantilly on Sunday. The stands were thronged, chiefly by ladies. The reserved space in front of them was crowded; there was en extraordinarily numerous assemblage of members of the Jockey Club and of sporting men—probably the largest ever st. en on any similar occasion ; even the tops of the stands were occupied to incenrenienc, while outside the ropys a great crowd of the humbler class of Parisians, of the people of Chantilly, and of the peas miry of the adjacent villages were collected. Many ladies of high r trikgraced that stands wi. h theirpresence, andarnoeg them was the Countess de Morny. The Count de Morny was also present, as was likewise the Pre fect of the Oise, the latter in grand uniform. Teis yeir the: e was no:regular favourite for the Derby, some sporting men thinking that Gouvioux had the best chance, others pronouncing for Brocoli, others for Tonnnerre des hides, otl.ers for Mattel en Tete, or Cagliostro, while others placed faith in Count de Lagrange's lot. It is one of the latter, Ventre- Saint Gris by name, colt by GLdiator a'id Belle de Nuit,- who has had the- glory of being the winner. The horse occupied no very distingnished place in the betting.. In truth he was, so to speak, totally unknown, for he never before ran any race. It was besides reported that he was not in good condition, or had. broken down. ,It was, hAvever, no secret that his owner and some other gentleman thought well of him, and that some knowing people "guessed" that he was destined to astonish the betting fraternity. When he was saddled the greatest curiosity was manifested to s•ee him, and he was pronounced a fine animal, tilt without some resemblance to the famous Monad que. At the moment of starting, accordingly, hhisposi tion in the batting remained unchanged, while that of Gonvieux improved; in fact, he became first ' favourite. The field consisted of no fewer than 24 horte9t, and was, if we mistake not, the largest ever seen in France. To start this large number of horses was extremely difficult, not fewer than 10 unsuccessful attempts having be wade ; and the 11th, which succeeded, was by no means a good one. The race was run at a very good pace in deed, and Ventre Stint this won Not only was no one of the horses who stood first in the betting the winner, but no one had even the honour of being " placed." The precise amount in stakes, entries, and forfeits which C unt de Lagrange receives by the success of his horse is, after deducting the entry paid on it and the 2,000 f. which go to the second horse, 63,200 f. In addition he wins largely by bets. Several gen tlemen who backed oth er h orses , especially those who " fancied" Tennerre des Indes and Gouvieux, have suffered sev e r e ly. Th e t r i umph of Ventre Saint Gris was hailed with acclamations, and Count d e Lagrange wa s warm l y congratu l ated. Th ree jockeys—Ashmall, Mundy, and Plumb—were fined, and interdicted from riding again this year, for wilfully being the cause of some of the false starts.

There happen to b 3 two routes, each offering &whine . advantages; but in one case there is an apparent determination not merely to contest each move ment of the other, but to forego its own chances of success rather than that Loth should be carried out. Hence the public are distracted, and led to believe each alike to be impracticable, and the Government are f urn i shed _ with that ' which officialsfor doing nothing. The Persian Gulf line has the recornmemiations of cheapness, of being capable , of speedy construction, and of offering us means of information from intermediate regions, whence, judging from the present policy of Russia, su c h means are likely Ilene:1)1th to be most important. While it is alleged to be liable to interruption from wilful or accidental damage, it is at the same time most open to immediate repair, and enjoys also the advantage that, as these risks are wily in the land part, each break that might happe n would cause merely a slight delay instead of a ottl susp,ns ion of news, since the defective spaces could be traversed by horsemen or ordinary runners. Our part in this route would consist Of a simple cable through the shallow waters of the Persian Gulf ; the capital has been subscribed for two years past, and nothing is wanting but the decision of the Government and the India House. The Red Sea line, on the other hand, has the recommendation of t eing almost wholly oceanic, and, consequently, perhaps less liable - to casual in terruptions; but it wt uld in volvegreater outlay and time, and any break that might occur would for the moment he much more seriout in its conse quences. It has not a subscribed capital, and has had the drawbacks of having originally based its claims to support partly upon statements from ob-' jectionaUle authority, and of subsequently com mitting the mistake of enrolling an influential name among its directors without Laving first obtained the requisite sanction. Still the üblic have • bceu disposed to regr.rd bolt with favttur, and at any time during the past year the most popular act the Government could have perf.rimq would have been to order the two to bo sitoul aneously carried out. The total expellee wou'd have bean about equal to the sum 1 aid dur ing one month of last autumn for the hire of trans ports to repair the disa,ters consequent upon the existing tardy methods of communication. But upon every attempt to bring public opinion to bear, so as to enforce a vig...ruus recognition of this ne t °say, the partisans of the Red Sea r.A.lte have in st.ntly come forth to denounce that by the Persian Gulf. Tois, of course, provokes a rejoinder, which is usually quite as damaging to the other side. writer demonstrates the "wildness" of the 'other's views, appeals to personal experience, and prrays authority against authority. At last the whole affair La assumed all the incoherent bitter ness of a doctrin 1 controversy, in which the grand pleasure is not to prove yourself in the right, but roniebody else in the wrong. The -Government shou!d cut it short by deciding upon their own course. It is strongly reported that they intend to do so, and in that case they will deservedly gain a large amount of favour, which their predecessors had the opportunity of securing and were infatu ated enough to disregard. According to some statements •hey have resolved that the Persian Gulf cab'e shall at all events be laid fortlrelith, and the energy with which certain continental influ ences have long been exercised to prevent the ac complishment of that project, while there has been nothing like the same. effort to of , struct the plan by the Red Sea, shoul I of itself tu a sufficient hint of the value supposed to attach to it. It must be repeated, however, that both should be as once set afoot. The' Red Sea projectors have lately assumed the ground that such an idea is not to be ent..rtained—that the Government are, for tile pie ent, compelled to make a cheict—that this whoice must be in their favour—a n d thus that the sister project should be indefinitely ret aside.
