MONEY MA K T A3,D COMBMIICTIUs IIaLLLICEIIOII. CITY, Two o'CLooK. The advices received this morning from the manufacturing districts represent that considerable improvement has taken place in the demand for most descriptions of goods suitable for the autumn. At Manchester there has been a good inquiry for goods for the Indian, German, and Levant mar kets, as well as for the home trade. The de mand for yarns has improved, and prices have ad vanced id. per lb. At Leeds a consider able improvement has taken place in the woollen trade, and the manufacturers are fully en gaged on tolerably large orders for the fall trade. In the various cloth halls a large business has been done, and prices are exceedingly firm. At Brad ford the worsted trade is firm, and improved rates are current for all qualities. In piece goods a fair amount of business has bean done, and foreign orders have been issued to some extent. Prices of all descriptions of goods continue steady. The woollen trade of. Huddersfield has been steady, and the manufacturers generally are fully employed, a moderate amount of e rd , is hav ing been received both for home use end for exportation. The lace and hosiery trades at Not tingham and Leicester have coetinued gradually to improve, both American and home buyers having been in the market. Yarns are at full rates, with an upward tendency. The lion trade of South Staf fordshire continues inactive, and prices have ex hibited a downward tendency ; a great number of furnaces are out of blast and others only in partial operation. At Birmingham the manufacturing trades of the district are flat. At Sheffield and Wolverhampton the hardware trade of the districts have exhibited little alteration. Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market on Se - tura:iv itLci prices of ad descriptions were fully maintained. The sales were estimated at 12,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters. The Railway Share Market pre sented a steady appearance, and quotations were without any material alteration. A slight diminution has taken place in the de mand for discount, the supply of paper offered for negotiation is smaller, and the market altogether shows that the effect of the payments of the 4th of the month has abated. There is reason to believe that a further movement in this respect Would have occurred had it not been for the ac commodation required to arrange the Consol account on the Bth inst. and the Indian Loan instalment on the 9th. As it is, however, the demand is steady and not pressing, while the terms, viz., about 3 per cent., must be regarded as exceedingly reasonable and moderate. While that quotation is maintained in Lombard -street, the Bank will be enabled to se cure a large proportion of discount business, and it is understood that the applications there are still very numerous. The engagements of the 4th are alleged to have been well met, and no serious cases of failur e are reported. On Saturday about 70,000/. in gold was taken from the Bank for transmission to France. _ The a rr i va l s announce d to -d ay i nc l u d e t h e T agus, from Gib ra lt ar , w i t h 5,7331., an d th e A s i a , item A merica, with 12,4701. in specie. latest According to the advices received to-day, the quotation of exchange at New York for 60 days' bills drawn upon London, is 1091, a point that is not likely to lead to any large shipments of gold. The tendency, however, was favourable, in the event of a further slight advance, the Movement may become important. very small amount of business has been recorded Up to this hour in the market for public securi ties, which still appear dull and heavy. Beyond a few operations presumed to be in connexion with the approaching settlement there is nothing to en liven the market, which will probably remain in the same unsettled condition until the liquidation is Completed.

The country markets hold on Saturday were scantily supplied, which sold steadily, at is to 2s per quarter more money. Barley and oats were the turn dearer, and the value of other articles had an upward tendency. On the Continent the corn trade has assumed more firm ness, and wheat has improved in value is to fully 2s per quarter. Spring corn, too, has sold on higher terms. The arrivals of English produce into the port of London last week were very limited, but the imports from abroad wore lib3ral, viz., 13,576 gra wheat, 11,734 barley, 31,319 oats, 20 rye, 1,177 beans, 1,570 peas, 4,705 linseed, 2,690 rapeseed, 20 sundry seeds, and 203 sacics of flour. Fresh up to-day, from Kent, about an average-time-of year supply of wheat came to hand ; but the receipts from Essex were very limited. The attendance of buyers was on the increase, and therelwas a steady, though not to say brisk demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2s per quarter. At that amount of improvement there were buyers from the country. We were well supported with all kinds of foreign wheat. Good and fine samples sold steadily, at an improvement in value of 2s, and inferior parcels were is per quarter dearer than on this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of grain wera in improved request, at very fall picas. Most kinds of barley sold to a fair extent, and the quo tations were; well stipporttd. Malt was, likewise, firm, but not dearer. Owing to an export demand, the oat trade was brisk, and prices were ls. to 2s. per quarter higher than on Mon day last. The few beans in the market sold readily, at ls. to 2s. per quarter more money. Peas were in good request at ls. to 2e. per quarter ad- vance. There was an impro►ed inquiry for flour, and country marks were is. per 2801bs. dearer. Town made flour ad vanced 35., or to 435. per 2801bs. cuRREN - cy rm: IS Whtigt•—roi,, Rua .... new 401 to 461 Ditto •• • .... old --s —s Ditto, White new 44s Me Ditto old —a —s Norfolk and Lin coln, lied, o'd--s —a Ditto new ...• • • 403 475 1 &ye—Old ............ —8 —s New 32s 34s Barley—Grinding... .. 26s 308 Malting ......... 351 383 Ohovalier.... . . 38a 41s Malt—flaffolk and No rfolk •• .• 583 68s Brown 548 56s Kingston end Ware 58s 66s ItIA L DIEAS ÜBE.

Prices, consequently, ruled low. For the time of year the receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were moderately good. The condition of the stock, however, was very middling. With the exception of the primest Scots and short-horns being in moderate request at full prices, the beef trade ruled heavy at barely last week's currencies. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,350 Scots and short-horns; from Lincolnshire, 780 short-horns ; from other parts of England, 200 of va rious kinds ; and, from Scotland, 27 Scots. Owing to the scarcity of grass in the pastures, there was a considerable increase of sheep in but middling condition. The demand for all kinds was in a depressed state, at a decline in the quotations of from 2d to 4d per Blbs. The top figure for the best Downs was 4s 6,1 per 81bs. There was a large number of lambs in the market, and the lamb trade was, consequently, heavy, at from 6d to 10J per Sibs beneath last Monday's quotations. The show of English calves was linaited, of foreign very extensive, and the veal trade was very inactive, at 2d per Sibs less money. Pigs—the supply of which was.good, sold slowly at former terms.

PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE—THIS DAY. The Parliamentary inquiry into the state of the ri%er Thames re-assembled this morning in No. 11 ct-nurnitree room, for the purpose of reporting on Mr. G. Gurney's plan ani hearing witncsseq. The members present were—Mr. Kendall (chairman), Lord J. Russell, Lord John Manners (First Commissioner of Public Works), Lord Palmerston, Alderman Cubitt, Sir J. Yarce Buller, Sir J. Shelley, Mr. Tite, Sir B. Hall, Mr. Ackroyd, Hon. Jocelyn Percy, &c. The room was crowded to excess. The first witness called was— Mr. Bateman, who said—l am a civil engineer. I have been employed on the water works at Blanchester and Glasgow. lam still engaged in improving the Clyde— it is in a very offensive state. Where there is a great quantity of mud on the banks cf a river it is important, where such is exposed to the action of the sun, that it should be immediately removect to prevent decomposi tion and etßuvia. There are no mnd banks on the river Irwell, yet it smells most offensively. There is a sewer in Glasgow which receives the discharge from certain chemical works, which renders the sewage from this par ticular place inodorous, and the sewage coming from thence, on being mixed with other fool sewage, renders it inodorous. I don't know ho,v this is occasioned, but such is the fact. I am, therefore, strongly of opinion, and Dr. Anderion agrees with me, trlat it i possible to disinfect sewage by ,oi vents on its progress by precipi tation. By Mr. Acroyd—There are no mud banks in the Irwell in csnsequence of its being all deep water. The river has been artificially dredged, and the sides walled. Some of the sewage, of course, COM. 4 back after it has been discharged into it, but more goes out than comes back, or the estuary would be filled up. I hope tha. will be possible to deal o ltil the sewers by solvent chemi cal agents in so perfect a manner that the whole of the sewage would be deodorised in its passage through them without leaving any precipitation. The room was here ordered to be cleared, and after a short absence the public were admitted. LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day. ) HOUSE OF LORDS.—APPEALS. THELLUBSON, APPELLANT, V. ROBARTS, RESPONDENT. This cause was postponed till next segSion. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. The July session of the Central Criminal Court took place this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Re corder, Alderman Finnis, Alderman and Sheriff Allen, Alderman and Sheriff Lawrence, and the Uader-Sheriffs, Messrs. Millard and Parker. The calendar contains only the names of 56 prisoners for trial, and the busi ness of the session is expected to terminate on Wednes day evening. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, was very brief. The calendar, he congratulated them, was very light, both in number and the nature of the offences, and was not likely to detain them long from their usual occu pations. There was only one offence of any magnitude, and that was a charge of manslaughter, but the particu lars were not of an aggravated character, and would not cause them much difficulty. lip grand jury then .retired, and commenced their dutffl by returning a few true bills into court. None of the cases that came before the Court this morning was of sufficient general public interest to jus tify a report. POLICE INTELLIGENC.E.—(This Day.) .__._-- ~ MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WORRYING THE DUCKS IN THE SERPENTINE. Alfred Ramsay Taylor and Joseph Elliot Lawley, both gentlemanly-looking persons, were charged under the foil, wing circumstances. John Browning, Hyde Park constable, No. 21, said, that on Saturday evening his attention was called to Taylor, who was on the footpath of the Serpentine near Kensiegton-gardens bridge. The dog produced was swimming in the water and worrying a brood of duck lings. He asked Taylor three times to call the dog in, but he refused, saying he was doing no harm. He tcld him he would take him into custody if he did nut, when he turned round and said "You are a -- fi e f, my dog has a right there and the ducks have not." Lawley then came up, having been drinking, and thrust himself between him (Browning) and Taylor. They were both very noisy. A young duckling was brought to him, which, though dead, was still warm, and it belonged to the brood. A gentleman on the bridge said it was disgraceful, and gave him his card. They were throwing in a stick to inducs the dog to go in. The aecused put several questions to Browning, with the view of showing that they did not intend to worry the ducks, that there was no proof the dog had killed the duck, and Lawley said he was not drunk. Mr. Beadon—Then theta is less excueu for you. Taylor fined 20s. for worrying the ducks, and Lawley fined 20s. for attempting a rescue. ROBBERY AT WILD'S READING-Roollll.—John Stevens, a respectable looking young man, of fair complexion, was charged with stealing an umbrella and bat on two different occasions of Lis visiting Wyld'e British and Foreign Reading-rooms, Leicester-square. . The prisoner, watched by Mr. Wyld, entered the room and took up a paper, but instead of reading it he was noticed to be watching all the persons in the room, and immediately after leaving the property was missed. On corning again be was given into custody. The prisoner, who said be did not take the things in tentionally, was remanded for a week. THAMES. THE REY. MR. SMITH AGAIL—The Rev. J. C. Smith, the itinerant preacher, better known as Boatswain Smith, who has but very recently recovered from the effects of a severe accident, appeared at court this morning to answer a charge of causing an obstruction in Well•street, Wellclose-square, where he was holding forth yesterday morning, to a congregation of 100 persons of the description called " roughs," and com pletely blocked up the street, which is a very narrow one. Several persons had their pockets picked directly the old gentleman commenced preaching. Be was arrested by the police soon after he had given out his text, and he continued his discourse with his book in his haud, and with a police-constable on each side of him, all the way to the station-house. It is well known that the rev. gentleman, who has frequently been in custody on a similar charge, and will, in defiance of the police, select nano", streets for his sermons, has almost invariably infl:cted a sermon on the magistrates of this court when he has been brought before them. The last time tbe rev. gentleman was before Mr. Yardley the magistrate discharged him without hearing any evidence, and disappointed the rev. gentleman, who, however, would have a few words to say before he left tbe court. Mr. Yardley . , on taking his seat in a small room of the establishment, the court being under repair, said the name of the Rev. Mr. Smith, charged with causing an obstruction, was on one of the police-sheets, and asked if he was in custody, Inspector Lund replied in the negative, and said the reverand gentleman was bailed out. At twelve o'clock the reverend gentleman was ushered into the temporary court, in which there were only seven persors besides the magistra'e and clerk, and Mr. Yardley said, " You are discharged, Mr. Smith. You can go, sir." The Rev. Mr. Smith—l wish to say a few words, sir. The dreadful state of Ratelift highway, and the iniquity of— Mr. Yardley—No, no, Mr. Smith ; this i no place r preaching. Tnere is a very malt congregation. Call the next case. The reverend gentleman was politely led out of c 'art and seemed greatly disappoiDted. Ha distributed some tracts to the mob in front of the court, addressed a few words to tbo people and retired. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—erhis Dii,:i.

ROBBERY OF ONE THOUSAND POUNDS.-0 a Saturday information was received at the Chief Metropolitan Police-office that a tin cash-box, containing 7001. in Bank of England notes, and 3001. in Sovereigns and half sovereigns, was stolen from the pr em i ses of M r. L . Zucker, N o. 322, Oxford-street. The thief is a French man, about forty years of age, 5 feet 9 inches in height, rather stout, black moustache, hair and whiskers — speaks English imperfectly. The numbers of the notes are known, and payment stopped at the Bank, and notices have been forwarded to private and provincial banking-houses. Information has also been forwarded to the police at the outports, and Mr. Zucker has offered aw reward of 100/, for his apprebensiou. SPORTING NOTES. NEWMARKET. The rain. which foil yesterday, although it was not of sufficient duration to effect much good, has induced trainers to hope that the protracted drought is at an end, and that their horses will be able to fulfil engage ments without hazarding a break down. The hardness of the ground last week militated considerably against the succeris of meetings, diminishing the fickle, and imparting quite an insignificant character to events which at one time promised to be marked by incidents of much importance. Hence the Shrewsbury and Lud low gatberiegs were failures ; at Carlisle the weather was more deetruct:ve of sport than "the Dean ;" at Ipswich the proceedings were mtra leather-flapping; and the Pontefract programme wa© sway shorn of its fair peoportioes. Indeed, amidst the crowd of meet ings which were celebrated last week, only one—the quiet "little go" at Oaihain—was a decided success. "Newmarket July" and the Worcester Summer are the only two fixtures for the current week, and at nei then meeting is the sport likely to be over-abundant. The stewards of the Jockey Club have issued a more attractive list than usual for the gathering at head quarters; and they deserve ail credit for the attempts which they have made to pi , event the utter dec.ine of the meeting. lam nut amongst the go-a•heed tutfites who would like to see the July folow he Secoed Spiieg, and I therefore trust that tile off .rte 4 the au'horities mey be attendee' by BUCC-13s, T:ie matel - making spirit seems to be revived with good effec, fur half a dozen matches are comprised in the present list, and numbers have been made for the Octob,r Meetings. A most interesting racy will be witnessed for Vie Ju'y Stakes, amoi.gst the public pe-fe:r titre ter .eincie will le, the Thaclt Loa. colt, Sir Hercules, Mareke, and Stockham. A dark animal named Crafton, too, will make his debut, and report states that it is as good, if not better, than North Lincoln. My partiality, however, for public runners, compels me to withhold confidence from him and to look to the Black Bess colt and Stockham to occupy the foremost places. For their respective matches I shall select Killi grew, Melibieus, and Pandora. . Haymaker ought to win the Summer Handicap. The result of the Chesterfield Stakes will, of course materially depend upon the July performance. At pre sent I may direct favourable attention to S r Herculte and Marske. j Advices from Worcester state that " Pitchcroft would be materially benefited by rain, and by this time perhaps the hing-desired pluvial visitation may have freshened the new mown grass, and rendered the course good going. That a pleasant meeting will take place at Worcester, under any circumstances, may be confidently anticipated, for the race committee work with exem plary seal and cordiality to promote sport. Their liberality in carrying out any arrangement tending to increme the popularity of the meeting has been unanimously acknowledged by the entire sporting press. Toe Trial Handicap will, perhaps, be carried off by either Kestrel or Little Cob. Underhand seems likely to sport the Worcestershire Handicap, but, as at N ewcastle, Messrs'. Barber and Saxon may furnish him with his most troublesome opponent. They can at any rate, through Hamlet, measure pretty accurately the cuance of Prin, cess Royal or Commotion. The Two-year•Qld Stakes may be placed to Mr. T. Parr's account. by Indiffer ence, and for the Flying Handicap I shall select New Brighton and Kuockburn. Barbarity seems likely to win the Bentinck Handicap, and Schismatic may carry off the Gip. A FRESH MAN. Newmarket, Monday Morning. FATHER THAMES ON TRIAL. ( Front the Money Bag.) Last week a very old and foul offender was brought before the police court of Westminster. He was charged with being a public nuisance. He was by trade a nightwan and general scavenger. But it was urged against him, that he exercised his functions solely as a pretext, carrying to t , nd fro beneAh the noes of his neighbours all -ors of foetid, noxious ordures, without ever practically removing them, or even seriously atl;empting to do so. That he made a show of spreading the filth on flats by way of drying it up ; and then, with the most flagrant inconsistency, would dilute it again with water—That when the police questioned him, he said "he mean: •to wash it away." Bat when they asked him " Where to ?" he could give no satisfactory reply ; and mumbled something about " Mucking flats." To this the police had very pro perly replied that " they - were not such flats as to allow any more of his mucking," and had accord ingly taken him into custody. His worship ordered the prisoner to be brought in. His appearance excited the most unbounded disgust; while the effluvia ho exhaled was revolting in the extreme. His worship called loudly for aromatic salts, and several persons in court fainted. During the confusion we had full leisure to note the culprit's bearing and exterior. He appeared to be of great age ; his countenance wore a smooth, treacherous, hypocritical expression, which he attempted to disguise under the affecta tion of helpless imbecility. His long hair and beard, 'matted with filth, hung about him in ouzy tags and clots, some of which proved on nearer in spection to be the corpses of drowned kittens. What clothes he wore, if any, must remain in mys tery ; he was so thickly smeared with the blackest slime, wet and reeking, as if he had been recently dragged out of the mud. In his hands he bore a large cracked crockery-ware bowl, half filled with semi-liquid fmcal matter, which slowly subsided through a round aperture iu the bottom of the bowl, and streamed down his thighs. Under his arm he carried the carcass of a drowned dog, seem ingly much distended with decomposing gases. Inspector Y, 4, said the prisoner had first given his name as Mr. Lambeth Reach, but he had seve ral aliases. In the City, and especially about the docks, he had gone by the name of « Pool ;" some of the journals had mentioned him as "Coss Pool," but Cess did not appear to be a Christian name. He was best known by the nickname of "Father Thames," but it did not seem he had any children —though many wished him farther. He was strongly suspected to be a wholesale poisooer. A lighterman of his acquaintance had recently died under the most suspicious 6: cuwstances, laying his death at the prisoner's door. The prisoner had long beau in very bad odour, and whether guilty of crimes or not, was at any rate a public nuisane. He was moreover full of turns and windings, had nothing straightfor tvaid about him, and was to be considered a dangerous character. His worship said this was a very serious case, and ordered the prisoner to give an account of himself, and name Ins parish. Father Thames•said he came originally from the Cotswold hills, in Wiltshire ; that he was a scion of the noble family of Rivers. _ _ His worship observed that the family name of Lord Rivers was Pitt, and if he had such a dist-c -olt:title conot-etion h s It,d,hip was very touch to be pitio i (nobo.ly iu cour however, pe ceived the joke). The prisoner said his 1.1.1110 was Lo Pitt, but that Le himself was more to be pat& d than con demned. He had seen better days, and never thought he should crane to thi?. He had pisF.ed through Oxford with credi and an unsullied name. He had on leaviug the University allied himself with a young lady of good family (her Chris!lian name was Isis), who did not long survive their union. He had been presented to her Majesty at Windsor. Indeed there h ad never bee n a word most y unwillingly. against him till he came to town, when lie had j f o al b l s en th i r n o t w o n lowco ' and had all s orts o f di rty upon him He replied, he had from Ills youth upward His worship as ked what was the u se o f t h e p i erce d an urn, and this was g at present. i e ft h f a o b r i o t n o e f h ca e r h ry a i d n bowl Did he eaen his living with it ? H e sa id it was a been the necess ary part of his acc outrement. H e h a d no hest s t h h original aptitude for his present trade as a night man, which had been t thrus upon him by the Sewage Commissioners. His tastes were all natu rally pure and innocent. His conduct was or derly. He appealed to the Metropolitan Police to bear him out when he asserted that he had never been drunk for • ears. He had done his best to carry his nightsoil to the sea. His worship asked him what sea, whether be al luded to the Bishop of London's see. No, the sea at the Nore, which threw up all he could carry down. It was a TTV'St IJII3I - an i hr.: believed that the Sewage Commis sioners, the Metropolitan Board, and the Board of Works were the real culprits, while he, with the best intentions, got all the abuse. The Court should appeal to the Privy Council to enforce the necessary steps. There should be pipes and cul verts to take the sewage under ground to at least twenty miles from Loudon. He himself could force it along the culverts by flushing. His worship said no one could flush these pipes unless he was very flush of money, and that it was a question who would pay the piper. The court hav ing become most oppressive, the prisoner was dis charged with an injunction to behave better for the future. The prisoner sail he would do his best, but unless he had a weir or dam below London, the sewage must come back. His worship, as he left his seat, made some scarce audible observation, which seemed to have reference to the scheme of seeing the Thames dammed at the most convenier.is locality, but no fatfinite arrangement was come to. SUBMARINE TELEORAPITS TO .7_Vbl.4 A ND ELSEWHERE. Whatever may be the fate of the Atlantic cable, with which the greatest experiment of the age is now being performed, all doubt is dispelled respect ing two facts : first, that for intercommunication between this sea-girt island and its colonies sub marine are far preferable to overland cables ; and, secondly, that for submarine cables of great length light ropes only should be employed. The first of these facts needs no remark, arising as it does from principles of economy, and from the manifest ad vaetsge of a kingdom like ours having no portion of its means of communication unnecessarily sub ject to the control of foreign powers. On the second point we desire to add a word or two. During the last few months a great change has taken place in the opinions of professional men and of the public generally in reference to the desir ability of using weighty and cumbrous cables for submarine telegraphic purposes. For short dis tances such cables are all that could be desired, as experience has shown ; and, deciding with too little discrimination, our telegraphic engineers proceeded to apply similar cables for deep-sea purposes. It is true that the Atlantic Company, before under taking their gigantic operations, so far suspected their applicability to these purposes as to devise and adopt a much lighter rope than was usual ; but they still retained some of the worst features of the old ropes, although in a modified form. Now for years past Mr. Allan has urged the s.doption of the direct contrary of the heavy cables ; and it is only due to ourselves to say, that we have uniformly supported blue iu his efforts. It is to his feresight that the public are indebted even for the first extensions of s ;r, ri u hh g aphy. When re ,t d setisfied with 25 miles of cable between Dover and Calais, and thought a 50-mile cable impopible, Le showed the feasibility of a 70-mile cable to Belgium, and subsequently of a 120-mile length to Holland, for which, so far ba c k as 1852, he procured the concession. In the very early stages of the system he clearly set forte the self-destructive character of the heavy cables, should attempts be made to submerge them in waters of great depth ' • and, to obviate the evil, in the sp r i ng o f 1853 ha took out a patent for a rope, the mechanical con struction of which was the reverse of those in use, having as its main feature an inextensible core. Later in th 3 same year he pateßted another, Main taining the same principle of construction, but of such an arrangement of parts as to produce a rope, not only light per mile, but of such low specifici gravity that it might be laid with facility across the Atlantic, without risk of injuring itself by the tension resulting from its own weight. With' these improvements, and others comprising the production of electricity in a manner suit able for the purpose, Mr. Allan enunciated, as was stated in the Times, Oct., 1853, the project of an Atlantic telegraph. He was suffered, however, to stand alone, and even from the scientific press re ceived no other support than that afforded by our selves. In March, 1856, undaunted by previous discou ragemeuts, Mr. Allan addressed a letter to the Rt. Hon. H. Labouchere, Secretary of S t ate for the Colo nies, iu which not on!y was the Atlantic telegraph pi opositiou revived, but the idea of the Great In dian Submarine Telegraph Company, now about, we trust, to be carried out, was put forth in these words :—" It is feasible to lay lines from this country (say Plymouth) to Gibraltar and Malta, and so on up the Mediterranean, en route to India. Such a line would be conducive to British governmental and mercantile interests, and mare independent under many circum stances than transmitting through the pre sent foreign systems across Europe ; and which, besides, would c eats a large tax or tollage on the cost .:f a message to India and Australia." The present Atlantic Company was shortly afterwards started, and for a time monopolises that particular field. In carrying out their plans, how ever, they have so far approximated towards Mr. Allan's electrical sysLenes as to induce him to apply for an iojuuction to restrain them from infringing upon his patent rights, the application being now pending. Before the telegiaph squadron sailed last year with the Atlautic cable, Mr. Allan stood almost alone in predicting the failure which occurred, and the scientific grounds for his prediction were made public. These grounds were indeed clearly set forth by him in a letter addressed to ourselves so long ago as the 24th of Dec.:mber, 1855. After last year's failure, men grew suddenly enlightened ; and, after the able papers of Captain Blakely at Dublin, and Messrs. Longridge and Brooks at the Institution of Civil Engineers, the merits of light ropes and the utter unfitness of heavy ropes for deep-sea purposes became universally acknowledged. Our readers will not be surprised to find that we are indisposed to allow the man who has fought the battle and won this victory to have his name suppressed by the many advocates of light cables who are now springing up into publicprominence, and adroitly seeking to carry off the spoils of war. Mr. Allan, and Mr. Allan alone, has the great merit of introducing the light-rope system, which will now become universal ; and they who have helped, either early, as in our own case, or later, as in the case of some others, to aid him in the undertaking, are indebted to him for the first correct knowledge possessed upon the subject. No man ever gained a more complete or certain triumph iu the field of practical science than he has achieved in this matter. For the future, heavy cables will be used in shal low waters only. For all deep waters the light cable will be adopted ; and we very much doubt whether any company whatever will be able to construct these properly without license from Mr. Allan, under his patents of 1853, which virtually give him the monopoly of what, up to the present time, are the only practical meats known of mas tering the difficulties attaudant upon the construc tion, submergence, and working of ocean tele graphs. • We shall not enter into the rival schemes for tele graphs to India. The objections to . the Red Sea Telegraph Company's plan and to the Euphrates Valley line have been amply discussed in the news papers, and are now pretty well understood by the public. It only remains for us to say that, while these are fragmentary and uncertain, the new com pany's plan—the Great Indian Submarine Tele graph Company's—is complete and reliable, both in construction and working. It is also essentially national, giving us a direct communication with India, independently of all foreign aid ; and, as the number of its stations will be necessarily few, its working cost, and therefore the cost of transmit ting messages by it, will be 50 per cent. less than that of the competing lines. —Mechanics Magazine.

THE INDIAN MIITINIES. — Perbaps the most singular his p slt ba a nnounced : r nn feature in the rebellion of 1857 (and there are many) is, that while the whole of this side of India has been fiir ten or twelve months past one vast scene of anarchy and confusion, with the country overrun and planderd by bands of men a thousand times more brutal and rapacious than our Sepoys (bad enough in all co con science), with town fighting againgst town, tribe against tribe, property a mire matter of might, and with human life counting as next to nought ;—notwith standing all this, the poor rent of vu scratching sTi sowieg airs just as he did, good man, in 1855 56.
