I cop- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY r EVENING, JULY 14, 1858. kiddau. After an interval of about fin hour the strain, and rate of progress of the cable again increased, while the increase of the ver tical angle seemed to indicate that the wire was sinking down the side of a declivity. Beyond this there was no variation throughout Monday night, or, indeed, through Tuesday. The upper deck coil, which had weighed so heavily upon the ship, and still more heavily upon the minds of all during the past storms, was fast disappearing, and by 12 mid day on Tuesday, the 29th, 76 miles had been paid out to something like 60 miles' progress of the ship. All seemed to promise most hopefully, and the only cause that warranted anxiety was, that it was evi dent the upper deck coil would be finished by 11 o'clock at night, when the men would have to pass in darkness along the great loop, which formed the communication between that and the coil in the main eold. This was most unfortunate, but the ope ratidn bad been successfully performed in daylight during the experimental trip in the Bay of Biscay, and every precaUtion was now taken that no acci dent should occur. At 9 o'clock by ship's time. when 146 miles had bees payed out, and about 112 miles' distance from the rendezvous accomplished, when the last flake but one of the upper deck coil came in turn to be used. In order to make it easier passing to the main coil, the revolutions of the screw were reduced gradually by two revolutions at a time from 30 to 20, while the paying out machine went slowly from 36 to 22. At this rate, the vessel going three knots and the cable three and a half, the operation was con tinued with perfect regularity, the dynamometer indi cating a strain of 2,1001 b. Suddenly, without an in stant's warning, or the occurrence of any single inci dent that could account fort it, the cable parted. The gun that again told the Valorous of this fatal mishap brought all on board the Agamemnon, rin hiog to the deck, for none eould believe the rumour that had spread like wildfire about. the ship. But there wood the machinery, silent and motionless, while the fractured end of the wire hung over the stern wheel swinging loosely to and fro. It seemed almost impos sible to realise the fact that an accident so instantaneous and irremediable should have occurred, and of course a variety of ingenious suggestions were instantly afloat, showing moet satisfactorily how the cable must and ought to tare broken. Immediately after the mishap a brief consultation was held by those .n charge on board the Agamemnon, and es it was shown that they had only exceeded the distar c. from the rendezvous by 14 miles, and that theme way stilt' more cable on board • he two vessels 'can the amount with 7hich the original expedition las' year was commenced, it was therefore dtt rmined to try ter another chance and return the rendezvous, sailing there, of course ; for Mr. Brown, the chief engineer, as ultra zealous in the cause as a board of directors, guarded the coal bunkers like a very dragon, lest, if we came to paying out cable again we should be short of steam, and so endanger thwouccess of the whole undertaking. For the fifth time, therefore, the Agamemnon's head went about, and after 20 days at sea sue again began beating up against the wind Tor the rendezvous, to try, if possible, and recommence her labours. The following d 4 the wind was blowing strongly from the sou'-west, with mist and rain, and Thursday, the lst of July, gave every one tbel most unfavourable opinion of July wea ther in the Atlantic. However, the upper deck coil. of 250 tons being gone, the Agamemnon was as buoyant as a lifeboat, and no one cared how much she took to kicking about, though the cold wet fog was a miserable nuisance, penetrating everywhere, and making the ship as wet inside as out. Friday was the ditto of Thursday —and Saturday worse than both together, for it almost blew a gale, and there was a very heavy sea on. On Sunday,"the 4th, the Agamemnon reached the actual rendezvous, and fell in with the Valorous. per, which went cruising about, turning all it touched to a light pea green. By and by she be gan to ship seas. Water came clown the ventila tors near the funnel into the engine-room. Then a tremendous sea struch her forward, drenching those on deck, and leaving them up to their knees in water, and the least learned on seeboardcoul l ( e i ssa that thi ngs were f as t going to the lesd n change took place either in the weather or the u con dition of the ship. Of the first there seemed little chance. A little after 10 o'clock on Monday, the 21st, the aspect of affairs was so rks to try 'g wear ing that tbe ship Ca ptainpreedy n resol n v d :.t all risks alarming the other tack. It was bard p to d e enough m r a u k u e the words of command audible, but to execute them seemed almost impossible. The ship's head went round enought to leave heabroad -B:de onto the seas, and then for a time it seemed as if nothing could be done. All the rolls which she had ever given on the previous day seemed mere trifles as compared to her performances then. Once round on the starboard tack, and it was seen in bya the an instant that the ship wa s i n no degreer r. ve d forward, ch ange. A not h er heavy sea struck her I-weeping clean over the fore part of the vessel, vessel,and e.ie rying away the woodwork and platform which f had been pl ace d, th ere roun d the machinery or under running. This and a few more plunges were quite suffirient to. settle the matter, and at last, reluctantly, Captain Preedy succumbed to the !toe could neither conquer nor contend against. Full steam was got on, and, with a . foresail and fore -top-sail to lift her head, the Agamemnon ran before the storm, rolling and tumbling over the ; hin ge waves at a tremendous pace. Throne,hout the whole of Monday the Agamem ton ran before the wind, which moderated so much that at 4 a.m. on Tuesday her head was again put d ab out,, and for the second time tb she co 2 m o i o nen miles beatingr up for the rendezous, bh lei th b e t r from s d u: . t rao a r n ni w ng. en the n ;are was at Its So little was gained i gatist eu the u w il inc Y l, that Friday, the 25th, 16 days lifter leaving Plyinouth, still found us some 50 iles away from the rendezvous. So it was deter s fined to get up steam and run down on it at once. die we approached the place of meeting the Valorous hove in . sight at noon ; in the afternoon the Niaseara came in from the north, and in the tv eeing the Gorgon f rom th e ,outh se and then, thnost for the first time since starting, the squa irons was re -united near the spot where the great rork was to commence. On the eveuiu4 0.1 . Vriday, the 25th of June, the bur vessels lay together side by side, and there was e h a stillness in the sea and air as would have eeoed rem ar k a b le in an inland lake ; -on the tianeie, and after what we had all so lately witnessed, it seemed almost unnatural. We have belaid h bees ° lv/ during the awful rolls which the Aga non trade made on the 20th and 21st, the upper Par t —1 1 s of the main coil shifted and became a mere 1 apeleas tangled mass, with which it seemed im apeiisfitsbihelr Mr. deal tole to any in conceivable way.

For th e first 24 hours the labour teamed hopel ess, f or so dense was the tangle riet an hour' s h ard 'work would sometimes c artel y clear half a half a mile. By and by, how yer, it began to mend, the efforts were redoubled, d late on Friday night- 140 miles had been got f , and the -remainder was found to be clear ° e ugh to com mence work with.

It was evident then that the Niagara had rigidly, but most unf. rtn nately, adhered to the mere letter of the agreement re garding the 100 miles, and after the last fracture had at once turned hack f;r Queenstown. Oa Tuesday. the 6th, therefore, al the dense fop and wicds set in it was agreed tetween the Valorous and Agamemnon to retain .only once more over the rendezvous. But as usual the fog was so thick that the whole American navy might bare been crnizing. there unobserved, so the search was given up, and at 8 o'clock that night the ship's bead was turned for Cork, and under all sail the Agamemnon at last stood homewards. The voyage home was made with ease and swiftness, considering that the wind was light, the trim of the ship, and that she only steamed three days, and this morning, at 12.30, the Agamemnon cast anchor in Queenstown Harbour, having met with more dan gerous weather, and encountered more mishaps, than often falls fo the lot of anyship in a cruise of 33 days. Of conrse it is yet too soon to nay what course of action has been positively decided cn by the company, but as there is still more cable left than is actually necessary for the undertaking, there seethe no doubt but that the Aga memhon and Valorous will 'immediately fill up again with coal, and leave here with the other vessels on Sa turday nt3c, for the final attempt. Of these arrange mentet, however, and the rules which may be decicb d on to guard against future. accident, it is almost prema ture to speak, but in the course of another day or SO cur readers may depend on being full informed. CASTING HEAVY GUNS. A paragraph in our journal_ of yesterday is calcu lated to give the pub!ic an erroneous impression. We refer to the following : " The 98-pounder guns recently cast at the Royal Standard Iron Gun Foundry, Woolwich Arsenal, were yesterday subjected to a series of proofs, in the presence of numerous Royal Artillery officers and other members of the select committee for con ducting - experiments. As previously stated, these experiments were regarded with more than ordi nary interest, in consequence . of the whole of the guns heretofore cast at this establishment having been condemned on proof." For some time a series of misstatement s have been in circulation, and it appears that our corre spondent was misled by some of these. So far from " the guns heretofore cast having been condemned on proof," none had been proved, owing to some defect in the proof-butt. In the House of Com mons, on Thursday last, Mr. H. Vivian asked the Secretary of State for War " whether it was a fact that the new gun foundry at Woolwich for casting iron ordnance bad, up to this time, proved a failure, and frOna what cause ; and whether any service able guns had as yet been produced there ; and if so, how many ?'' Gen. Peel, in reply, said " it was not a fact that the new gun foundry in Woolwich had, up to that moment, been a failure. On the con trary, he had reason to hope and believe that un der its present able superintendence, it would be successful. It was true it was found impossible, though from no fault of the foundry, to complete the number of guns ordered last year. Several of the heaviest guns and six-pounde's were to be proved on Monday next." In this statement the various anonymous attacks made upon the royalgu o n t factories were flatly con tradicted. reaecnli effectedct er i n these establishments, ManyivaP la t improvements,and oveti operations have de ra b b l e e carriede n n um be r o f o h n e greatw av i y th guns have stl been ccess" A consi eo ca st and delayed were ready for proof, but t hi s had been solely on account of necessary rep a i rs i n the proof butt. As General Peel stated on Thursday last, this defect has now been remedied, and some of the guns ready for proof were on Monday last put to the test- The manner in which the different operations have been conduced leaves nothing whatever to be desired.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday pre• eentsd less animation, and prices of all descriptions were without alteration. The sales were estimated at 4,000 bilts, 500 of which wore taken by the speculators. In the Railway Share Market only a small business was transacted, but values tended upward. The half-yearly meeting of the Union Bank of London . was held to-day. The report was very short, and stated that the net profits for the half year ending 30th June last were 67,4951. Bs. '7d. From this the directors recommended a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and a bonus of 21. 10s. per cent. on the paid-up capital, amount ing together to the sum of 45,0001., and that 15,0001. should be appropriated to the reserve fund, leaving a balance of 7,495 1 . Bs. 7d. to be carried forward. This dividend and bonus, with that paid in January, amounted to 15 per cent. per annum. After a abort discussion the report was adopted. No news has yet been received of the Royal Charter from Melbourne to Liverpool, which has now been out 94 days, and insurances have been effected at 110 s. to 130 s. premium. The market for the English Funds to-day has not been very active, speculators and dealers being occupied with the arrangements for the settlement of the half-monthly account. In the Foreign Stock and Railway Share Market prices have exhibited little alteration, as there is little support given to the market by the general public, the transfer books being shut until the 16th inst., except by special transfer. Consols have been at 952 4 for money, and 95 for the account; they are now rather flatter, being 95 to 951 for ae.n,ey, and 958 for :account. respectively.

A very limited amount of business has been re ported to-day in the Railway Share Market. The arrangements for the settlement of the half monthly accounts being now yin progress, most of the transactions entered into have been in reference to that event. Prices, however, in consequence of the more favourable traffic returns, have slightly improved. Eastern Counties, North Western and North British, have improved ss. , and Great Western, 10s. ; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, declined 55., and Caledonian, 103.

The difficulty m forming a house extended to the dis posal of the business on the paper. The first order, the second reading of the Medical Profession and Medical Corporation Bill, had to be postponed till Wednesday next, in consequence of the member in charge of the bill being absent. The two following orders had to be postponed from the same cause. This indifference of hon. members is indicative of the speedy termination of the session. There were not more than 20 members present at any period of the sitting (except on divisions) after the formation of the house. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET, ASSAULTING THE POLIOL—Three gentlemanly-looking men, who gave the names of Henry Hayes, John Matthews, and George Arene, were charged with an assault under the following circumstances : Police-constable Macaray said that that morning about two o'clock he heard the prisoners creating a great disturbance in Oxford-street, and on requesting the prisoners to go away, Aiello struck him on the head with his fist. Another constable, 115 C, came to his assistance, and Arens then puildd him down again. Whilst going to the station Hayes tried to get Areno from the custody of the officers, and they all resisted very much, it requiring five or six constables to take them to the station-house. P Winters, 115 C, proved going to the assistance of the previous witness and finding him on his back. Hayes cdled out to the bystanders " Shame ! Will yon let them go to the station ?" They had all been drinking and were very violent. Haye3 said all be did was to put his friend's hat on, if that was considered violence. Arstie and Matthews were fined 20a. each or ten dam and Hayes 103 or seven days. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETrING AT MANCHESTER.-TURSDAY.

Ia the week ending Saturday, July 10, the deaths re. gig ered in London were 1,191. In the 10 years 1848 —57 the average num'oer ot deaths in the weeks corre sponding, with last week was 977 ; but as the present r..turu is for a population which has annually increased, it can only be comp,treci with the average when the lat ter has been raised in proportion to the increase, a cor rection which will make it 1,074. The comparison shows that the mortality ot last week was much higher than the average mortality in the beginning of July, for the actual result exceeded the estimated number by 117 deaths, If the rite of mortality in London, with its population of 2,721,000 persons, were the tame as that which is ascertained to rule in .the healthiest districts of England, the deaths in the week would have been 799. The ex cites, which is the result of what may be termed the unhealthy rate, is equal to 392 ; and to reduce, if it be impossible to extinguish, this excess, is the problem of sanitary t , cieuce. The deaths from measles last week were numerous ; they rose from 54 to 71. Diarrhoea continues to make progrois, the weekly deaths from it, since it began to increase, having been 31, 54, 94, and 129. Of these 129 deaths, all except .10 ()centred among children, most of whom were infants. It may be added that nine deaths from this complaint ociairred in the sub-district c f St. John, Westminkt-r. Thirteen deaths were also caused by the cholera, which is usual ip summer. Three of these cases ()centred to adn't and are returned as follows : A widow, aged 45 yeera, on the 6th of July, at 25, New-street, St. Martin's-lane, cholera (after 32 hours' illness). A widow, aged 85 years, on the 2d of July, at 5, 13,rkfley-street, Cierkenwell , senectus, cholera (5 days). A widow, aged 61 years, on the 6rh of July, at the workhou e, ile-end New-town, English cholera (10 boure). L•ist week the births of 721 boys and 749 girls, in all 1,470 children, were registered in London. In the 10 ca.repunding weeks of the years 1848.57 the average nutnter wa.t 1,414. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height cl the barometer in the week was 29'653 in. The highest reading was 30'07 in. at the beginning of the week. The mean temperature of the week was 55 9 deg., which is less by 5 7 deg. than the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Gliti,her). The mean temperature was below the average on every day. The highest point attained by the thermometer in the shade was 73 deg. on Sunday, the 4th inst. ; the lowest was 47 3 deg. on Wednesday ; the range of the week was therefore 25'7 deg. Tno mean daily range was 20'4 deg. The difference between the mean dew -1 point temperature and air temperature was 7.2 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 79. The mean temperature c f the water of the Thames was t;3 . 3 deg. which is 7 . 4 deg. above the mean temperature of the air. The vied, which had been previously in the south-west, blew generally from a northerly point on the last three days. Rain fell on every day, and the total amount measured was 137 in. There was thunder on Wednez.- F day and Thursday. In the 13 weeks ending July 3d the deaths in London were 14,541. of which more than half were tho.e of per sons under 20 years of age. A rise of nearly - 17 deg., from 33 which was the mean temperature of the first or winter quarter of the year, to 541 deg.. that of last quarter, was accompanied by a decrease of deaths, equal to 2,767, or an average of '213 weekly. The heat of la-t quarter was unusual ; the mean temperature was higher by 2.7 deg. than the average of nine previous ,spring quarters, and in none of there was it so high as that which has been bow attained. The meteorological conditions of the seasons have not hitherto been allUati• ai:y Unfavourable to health, and the mortality has been below the London average, notwi , hstending the preva lence of measles and whooping -cough, which were very , fatal, and also of scarlatina and diartho3a, the latter of which has been excited to premature activity. If the deaths in the quarter had been at the rate derived from the least unhealthy di►tricts in England they would have I been 10,387, or less by 4,154 than the number actually registLree. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, July 13.—There is less buoyancy in this market to-day. Spinners have not been able to obtain the advance they were asking during last weak ; buyers have an advantage of id. to id. per lb. on last Tuesday's rates. ' This applies more particularly to counts above 24's ; lower numbers are in greater demand, consequently there is little or no change in the prices of 4's to 24's. The de mand for cloths is not quite so good—domestics and T cloths are about the best goods to sell, and there is not much giving way in these. LEEDS, July 15.—There has been a steady mar ket, in the cloth halls this morning. Gods adapted for the fall trade have been sold to a fair extent, and the general aspect of the trade continues cheer ful. Prices ate without alteration. MARKET NEWS.—(Ttus Day ) CORN EXCHANGE.
