I.—Last night a sta , ement was made, that two men had arrive! from Gipos' Land with 10,0001. worth of gold, and intelligence that there was a :old supply for the whole world. It is impossible to get a pair of Boots made or mended in Melbourne : nothing is thought of or talked about but gold." " Another correspondent states that the price of a pair of Boots is 505.; a pair of strong Shoes, 205."

It has long been a problem with the' friends of the sister country how to rendtiz productive her magni ficent sea-board. Nature has pointed ont her coves and harbours as the future seats of com merce; and the great Shannon navigation will now, it may be hoped, receive a natural impetus which all our Commissions have failed tb afford. The Irish coast is, in point of time, if not of sric, , ,.almost hag way between England and America; and we may look "onward, by the nmpletion of our telegraphic, communications, to being brought some days nearer to the New World. This, at all events, would be a physical change of which we can hardly estimate the results. When new South araptons, Bristols, and Liverpools stud the Irish coasts, the anticipation of one of Ireland's greatest prelates—a prophet in this matter, as well as a poet— vates in either sense of the word —may be realised, and that, too, nearer home than he contemplated when he wrote— " Westward the tide of empire seems to flow."

TIMES. —We have received from 'the Admiralty the copy of a - correspondence, which contains the fullest in formation with regard to the two ships seen -by the Re novation off Newfoundland, in April, 1851. The result of these documents would certainly appear to be in favour of the correctness of the story. The only point raised in opposi.ion to this inference will be found in a suggestive letter from the President of the Chamber of Commerce at St. John, Newfoundland. From the nature of the question it follows that mere presumptions cannot avail to set aside positive testimony. When the whalers of the Pacific bring us home some wonderful tale of sea ser pents or other monsters of the deep, there is so much antecedent improbability about the whole case that even the roost positive testimony cannot but be regarded with a certain degree of suspicion. On the whole it is more likely that . even a. number of individuals who were present at the same time, and who agree in their story, should be Mistaken, than that the ex perience of navigators for twenty centuries should have made default. But in the present instance of the two ships which- were seen by the crew of the Renova tion upon the iceberg off Newfoundland, there is no such violent antecedent improbability as should induce us to discard the concurrent' testimony of many competent witnesses. Mr.'Thomas, the President of the St. John's Chamber of Commerce, contends that it is " almost im possible that an iceberg of the magnitude and descrip tion spoken of by the crew of the Renovation could have passed along the coast from the north, and have reached' the latitude of Cape Race, without having been seen by some of the numerons sailing vessels which constantly intersect . the field ice in the months of March and April." This gentleman, , furthermore, makes mention of the many vessels which, at the time .spoken of, passed over the water in question on their way to or from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, and of the weekly steamers which run between Halifax and Liverpool. Because the ice berg in which the two ships were embedded escaped the notice of all these vessels, therefore he concludes that the crew of the Renovation have been the victims of an ocular deception, " occasioned by the appearance that icebergs assume under soils, peculiar action of the at mosphere." The question remains, Is it, on the whole, mere probable that a ship's company, accustomed to the sights and wonders of the frozen regions, should have been so deceived; or that the iceberg should have escaped -the notice of so many vessels? We are of , opinion that, when the whole of the correspondence is carefully weighed, any impartial reader must-be con vinced that the story brought home by the crew of the Renovation must prevail. There is no conceivable mo ti ve why half a dozen men should unite to palm such a.'etoriupon the public. The love of notoriety could scarcely supply an adequate reason, because the master and crew of the Renovation by no means distinguished themselves throughout the whole transactions. We may find a certain excuse for Captain Coward, drawn from .his weak state of health at the time, from his anxiety -to prosecute his voyage in the then state of the weather, as his ship was underhanded, and the loss of a boat's crew might have seriously imperilled the safety of his ship. But when we have said this we have said all. Mr. Lynch and the mate tell us that they were anxious to send out a boat, or at any rate to approach nearer to t h e i c e. But nothing was done. The opportunity was given to a ship's crew of solving a mystery which for m any years past occupied the attention of the civilized world. They neglected that opportunity. No matter from what cause their neglect arose, they certainly do not come before their country in any very chivalric light. Therefore the story comes with such presumptions in its favour` as may be drawn from the want of interest on the part of the relators. Captain Coward, Mr. Lynch, and Mr. Simpson the mate, have comported themselves since the termination of the voyage exactly as might have been anticipated from persons who had really seen the sight which they professed to have seen. There can be no great difficulty in ascertaining whether or no, imme diately on his arrival at Quebec, Mr. Lynch mentioned the discovery of the ships as stated in his letter. It was made a matter of notoriety. The strongest point, per haps, against the reality of the story—as derived from intrinsic evidence—may be found in the absence of all mention of the occurrence in the log of the Renovation on the 17th of April, 1851. We find it recorded on the day and about the hour in question " that there was a very strong current setting to the S.E."—nothing more. This was the direction in which the iceberg was drifting —according to the testimony of the witnesses. A few hours before mention was made of several large ice bergs; but not a word of the two ships. Then, again, 'there are various slight discrepancies in the accounts of the three chief witnesses—but not greater than might have been expected from three persons—not being in col lusion—each of whom wished to place himself before the public in as favourable a light as possible with regard to a given transaction. If, however, testimony can support a story at all, the account given by the three chief wit nesses on board the Renovation would appear entitled to belief. More than this, we have recently obtained additional confirmatory evidence from the master of a Mecklenburgh brig—the Doctor Kneip—who, on his arrival at New York, on the 4th of May, 1821, stated that he bad met with a great deal of ice on the Banks ; he had also seen two vessels " abandoned and water logged.". The exact date is not yet made out with suf ficient accuracy. Is remains to be seen whether or no the Doctor Kneip was at the time—which should be exactly ascertained —in the position to which the two vessels would have drifted when released from the ice berg upon which they we re seen b y the crew of the Reno vation. Navigators inform us that the drift would have set exactly in such a dir ection as would have brought them into the course of the Doctor Kneip. The arrival of this ship in New York on the 4th of May would appear to indicate th at she must, about the ne cessary time, have been cros sin g the t r ack of the drift mg ships. Assuming for a moment that andthet story sent home by the people of the Renovation that the ships the Doctor Kneip is correct—and assuming further were really Sir John we might draw as an inference from the position in all the stores Franklin's, we they were seen from the deck of the D F ,:c ra to u r ki K •in ceip , and contents of the ships had been removed by human that agency, and presumptively so by the hands of Franklin's party. It is ce rt a in that they would become water- ice, for legged as soon as they were liberat ed from the they had been so l o ng exposed to se vere weather and b to drying winds. I t is also clear tha t had they have n heavily laden th e y wo uld, under these conditions, gone to the bott om at o nce. Upon the assumption that sverything h a d b een c l ear ed out of them t hat could be e taken away, they wiruld not sink until the tuee') er had become th oroug hly s aturated and h ad lost itshat buoyancy.

The opinion of competent persons now ap pears to be that e.fler wintering near Cape Riley tied on Beecboy Island—at the entrance of the Wel lington Channel- , -Sir John Franklin • found that it would be useless either to advance in a northerly direction by Wellington Channel, or south erly and westerly by Cape Walker. It is now pre sumed that he turned his ship's head homewards some time after breaking up from his winter quarters, but that previously to giving up the objects of his voyage he determined to make another attempt by way either of Alderman Jones' Sound, or Smith's Sound, at the head of . Baffin Bsy. Of, course, the chief objection to this theory is that in all probability Sir Johu Franklin would have left some record of his intention, either at Naili Board Inlet, or some prominent point in Lan. caster Sound, where the notice could not but have fallen into the hands of one or other of the numerous searching parties. If this be so, - well-nigh all the pains we have taken have been thrown away, and we are left with no greater advantage than results from the knowledge of where Sir John Franklin is not. Sir Edward Belcher and his companions may possibly benefit by the errors of their predecessors—and that is all that can be said. Seven years have now elapsed since Sir John Franklin quitted England—it is difficult to admit the possibility of his return in safety. LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT LIVER POOL CORN EXCHANGE.

COMMANDER FREDERICK EDWYN FoRBES.--We re gret to announce the death of this meritorious officer, on the 25th of March, on board her Majesty's ship Tor toise, whilst on his passage to St. Helena for the re covery of his health. Commander Forbes was well known as our envoy to the Court of Dahomey, in 1849, of the manners and customs of which nation his pub lished journals gave a most curious account. On his re turn to England from his mission he was promoted, and in consequence of his intimate acquaintance with the natives and their languages, sent out in the autumn •of last year as extra to the Penelope flag-ship, on special service under the orders of the Foreign-office. On his l arrival at Sierra Leone, he was at once sent up to Abbeo kutab, to drill the native Christians, and organize them in resisting the apprehended attack of the King of Daho mey, who had declared his determination to avenge the defeat he suffered from them last year. The arduous du ties in which he was engaged were crowned with success, and a powerful army raised to meet the king of the slaie hunters. His exertions, however, brought on an attack of dysentery and fever, and though moved •at once to the coast and sent to sea, he died within two days of leaving the land. Commander Forbes was only in his 34th year. He entered the navy in 1833, served through the war in China, and afteiwards on the coast of Africa, in the Bonetta, where he captured several slavers. Dur ing his service in the Bonetta he discovered the written negro language now known as the Vahie or Vye. He was the third son of Captain J. Forbes, R.N., of Wink field-place, Berks.

WARMING AND VENTILATION OF THE 110 U SE OF The second report of the Select Committee appointed to consider the best means of improving the ventilation and lighting of the House and its appendages has been printed. After describing the plan upon which the ven tilation of the House is,at present conducted, by means of fresh air conveyed from the clock tower (until the completion of the Victoria Tower), through iron pipes with other apparatus, the Committee are of opinion that the condition of the ventilation of the House of Com mons and its appendages is still unsatisfactory, notwith standing the improvement which has been effected in the House itself since the period when the Com mittee were appointed. The report then proceeds to detail the improvements which have been in troduced since the commencement of the ses sion. The Committee are not prepared to approve of the complicated plan of forcing sir by mechanical power combined with the extracting powers of a shaft with a furnace or steam jet, and ascending and descending cur rents for supplying fresh and abstracting vitiated air. In conclusion, the Committee desire to give it as their opinion that the failure of the ventilation of the House of Commons, at the commencement of the session, can not fairly be imputed to any radical defect in Dr. Reid's system, because the Li m as© was hastily occupied with an infinity of arrangements incomplete; and the lighting, from which the greatest amount of mischief arose, was neither contrived by Dr. Reid nor under his control ; and in surveying the whole of this matter it is, perhaps, only fair to that gentleman to bear in mind that his original plan was a comprehensive scheme for the von tilation of the entire building, of the superintendence of the greater portion of which he was de prived when the works were more than half completed. These difficulties and complications were further increased by the fact that, in that portion of the New Palace termed the finished portion, which has been delivered up formally by the architect to the Board of Works, there were still not less than three different and • sometimes conflicting authorities, namely, the architect, the venti lator, and the Board of Works; and until the whole is placed under the absolute control and vigilant supervi sion of the 13..,ard of Works, it is vain to expect good service or economy; and all attempts at inquiry will be baffled by the allegation of divided responsibility. Under these circumstances, your Committee are of opinion that, as regards future management, the entire respon sibility of ventilating and lighting the House and its ap pendages should be confided to one competent person, under the direction and supervision of the Board of Works; and with a view to secure proper attention to any complaints that msy hereafter arise, a Committee. should be named at the commencement of each session to confer with the Board of Works upon any measures that may appear necessary to remove such complaints.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANIES. Yesterday, on the meeting of thehceo Electric ittee, Mr. Ricardo, M I'., was cross-ex trained. rr Tele graph C mapeny had paid large dividends, larger than they would be able probably t, pay again; but for teeny years they had paid no divide ) ndstetall. The company had forty miles of underground telegraph. Mr. Hatcher had been engineer-in-chief to the Elec tric Telegraph Company from its formation, now its consulting e engineer. At the commencement w ent a o s f five operations sendingwords a minute was considered good, but now they could send from thirty to thirty-seven words in a minute. There was a possibility, if duplicate lines were established on a railway, oosi y'e f s onetelegraph, rai st. by placing their wires in connexion with theothe the intelligence that went over t hem, but it was not necessary that the two companies should have the same signals. air. Edwin Clark, C.E., engineer-in-chief to the Electric Telegraph Company, stated that he had within the last twelve months put up 1,500 miles of telegraph, and gave it as his opinion that the underground system of telegraphs was perfectly practicable, The best and most perfect insulation for the wires underground was gaits percha, with which they were supplied by the Gutta percha Company, whose patent had also been successfully applied for the submarine telegraphs. Mr. GILPIN, contractor for the Irish Channel subma rine telegraph, now being carried out between Fort patrick and Donaghadee, described the operations in connexion with that undertaking. About sixty miles of the eighty- fivo of trench for the underground telegraph on the Scottish coast was finished. The wire to be sunk in the Channel would be about twent y miles. Operations were going on for carrying it underground from Do• naghadee to Dublin and Belfast. The cable was ready to be sunk on the first favourable tide. The total length of this telegraph would be 250 miles. There would be four wires, cased with gutta perchs, and placed in tubes un d e rground. The Gutta Percha, Company supplied the casing, and no one else could, that corepauy having a patent right for the purpose. The trenches were reef deep. As they did not expect to get a great number of messages from Ireland, they intended, if possible, so as to do it cheaply, to make their stations at the various post-offices in the towns, and pay the post people to work the wires.

The Irish Channel Su b m arine Company only startea last February, and ex p e cted that in another fortnight their entire line would be completed. Admitted that Mr. Ricardo was a trustee o f the cempany. The telegraph was being laid down by Mr. Gliffia, the superintendent of the undertaking, and the Government placed steamers at the companya dispo sal to assist in sinking the cable.

COMPLETION OF THE SUBMARINE Dus TELEGRAPH, urt, WEDNESDAY.—A submarine telegraph between the coasts of England and Ireland is now an accomplished fact, and an event pregnant with inte rest as regards the future welfare of this country. Yesterday morning, at four o'clock, the Britannia steamer started from Holyhead with the telegraph cable on board, preceded by her Majesty's steamer Prospero, a vessel furnished by the Admiralty, as a pilot to the expedition. The steamers proceeded at a low rate of speed, varying from four to six miles an hour, paying out the wire with the greatest care and precision as they recgded from the English coast ; and at length, after a passage of little more than sixteen hours, and without the occurrence of any contretemps, arrived at Howth Harbour amid the cheers of those who had assembled to witness their approach. The Freeman's Journal of this morning contains the following particulars of this gratifying and Manor tant event : " We have the satisfaction to comnaunicate the grafi fyirigintelligence that the first message from Howth to Holyhead was transmittlt at - half-past eight o'clock last evening, and an answer instantaneously received. The Irish public will at once anticipate that the message was an Hurrah for the Irish and American packet station!' " The telegraphic communication being now, we may_ say, completed between London and Galway, the esta blibhment of an American packet station on the west coast of Ireland cannot be long delayed. The mercan tile necessities of the empire will now force on what every Government has hitherto denied for the advance ment of Irish interests. " But we must not to•day indulge in anticipations as to results. Our present duty is t 3 detail the latest facts connected with the completion of the stupendous un dertaking. " The Britannia and Prospero made their second start from Holyhead shortly after two o'clock, A sr., yester day morning, the Britannia paying out' the cable steadily and constantly testing, by the indicators on board and ashore; the perfection of the communication. " The voyage was unmarked by any incident of• im portance,.and was, happily, free from any accident. The cable fell so straight, and sank so evenly; that only three miles more than the straight line across the Channel were payed out. This, in a course of sixty-five miles was really extraordinary. " A few minutes alter three o'clo c k, P.M„ the vessels were sighted by our look-out, and at eight o'clock, the Prospero entered Hou'h Harbour. the Britannia lying outside, near the itland of Ireland's Eye, through the channel near which the cable was subsequently brought to shore by boat. " The moment the Britannia had arrived at her desti nation, and communicated the fact to Holyhead that the Irish shore was reached, the final grand test was applied to the telegraphic cable by connecting the wire with one of the ship's loaded guns, and passing the word fire' to Holyhead. The answer was the immediate discharge of the gun on board the Britannia. The hour was then just hall-past eight o'clock, The works had been per formed in little more than 18 hours. " Messages were now rapidly interchanged, and a salute of the Brieannia's guns fired froin Holyhead. A letter had arrived in Dublin, directed to a gentleman who had left for Holyhead by the mid-day steamer, and whose presence was immediately required in London. A mes sage was sent to seek him out. Within half an hour, he was discovered, and he responded, 'I am here.' You are wanted in London." I shall start by the next train.' " Another hour and the cable was ashore, the con nexion completed with the land wires, and the indica tors at the Dublin terminus of the Drogheda Railway, in Amiens-street, were conversing with those at the ter minus of the Chester and Holyhead Railway in Holy head. By this time all the parties connected with the now happily successful enterprise were quite worn out with fatigue, and further experiments were abandoned for the night." The cable which now forms the means of commu nication between Holyhead and Howth is not com posed of four wires, like the one from Dover to Calais, but consists of a single copper wire, perfectly insu lated with gutta perche, and protected by an outer covering of iron galvanised wires. In order to secure the cable from injury by the tides and the sharp rocks, it has a double covering of iron wires from each shore for some considerable distance into the sea. The double covering of the seventy miles of wire with gutta percha was done by the Gutta Percha Company, at their work, in Wharf-road, City-road, and then shipped to Gateshead, where the task of placing on the iron galvanised wires was performed by Messrs. R. S. Newell and Co., the proprietors of the cable. The laying down of the cable took place on Tuesday, the Ist June, under the superintendence of Mr. Newell and Mr. Statham, of the Gutta Percha Company. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Suwarrow's celebrated epigrammatic dispatch was not more brief and pointed than the first announcement which another wonder of the age has just made of itselt. Our yesterday's impression contained our first telegra phic dispatch from the sister country—" The Irish Sub marine Telegraph is completed. This fact—the fact and the record of it being identical—was launched from Dublin at nine o'clock on Tuesday evening, and at 10.33 we welcomed it in the Strand. To announce its own existence was a worthy inauguration of the telegraph. The capitals of two islands, divided by a sea fierce and wild as the hatreds which have too often separated Eeg land and Ireland, are now not only on speaking term', but are within an hour and a half of what Dr. Johnson would have calnd " conversational reciprocity." Dublin and London can bold direc% colloquy, with only ninety minutes between question and answer; and, as telegra phic cemaninication cannot be expected to form an ex ception to the law of progress which governs all material and scientific inventions, we may anticipate that Puck's period of " fury minutes" will shortly be the utmost that will be required to waft a sigh or a command be tween Dawning-street and the Plecesix park. Are we premature in regarding this event as auguring a better future for Ireland? May we not hope that the mythic device of classical times, which proposed to link a wavering dependency to the parent state by the practi cal allegiance of a chain, is about to be exemplified under happier auspices? Ireland bas long been united to es by au iron cable, stern as the adamantine fetters of necessity or destiny herself. We trust, however, that the reality will supersede the symbol.

It cannot but be of good omen that, if the two countries are to be con nected by links of iron, these are to be employed in spreading intelligence, knowledge, the arts of pea ce and the lessons of law, order, and industry, rather that; in shackling the minds and consciences of our fellow subjects, fellow-Christians, and fellow-men. The grim centuries of our iron rule have, we trust, passed away ; the only material fett er wh ich is likely to be perpetual is the electric chain; and we may hope that Ireland henceforth need no other buttery than a galvanic will Th e ultimate cause of English and Irish misunderstand.one. ings i s , probably, the fu n d amenta l difference o race.

Last evening, at the rooms of the Society of Arts, Mr. L. Arnoux, of Steke.npon Trent, delivered a lecture upon the ceramic manufacture. The lecturer commere ed by an interesting historical sketch of the ceramic manufacture, both in the classic and modern times, paying a well merited tribute to the genius of Me. Wedgewood, the founder of the ceramic manufacture in England. Nature had provided England with all the materials necessary for the potter's art, and at present the annual produce of °tar potteries was esti mated at two millions sterling. 185 factories, employing 60,000 persons, were eugeged in the manufacture, 133 of these being congregated in North Staffordshire. 84 m illion pieces were annually exported to almost all-parts of the world. There was no manufacture which employed in almostall, whiteness, and such varied processes as . this, as great hardness, and brilliancy of surface were re quiredrather - beli ti some Exhibitio spect, particularly with the smelts now in itlet n atteml 4 4 demand.

In this our mauufact urers had litt le to do but to follow Wedgewood, and the manufactu re now perfection. All that could be rec ommended was, the avoidance of the excessive use of flint, which rendered the articles more liable to chip. The countries on the Continent which were principally distinguished in this manufacture wire France, Prussia, and Austria. The manufacture of our Perian ware was noticed copiously, the lecturer awarding to us the superiority in this respect. over our Continental rivals in the ceramic art. The history and processes both of our own and of the foreign porcelain manufacture were next dwelt upon, but it would be impossible to do any justice to the sub ject without entering into details which would far exceed the space we can devote to them. Of the 185 factories engaged in the manufacture of earthenware, 24 were engaged in that re soft porcelain, the greatest part of the produce bring sold in this country, for the exports did not exceed 60,0001. sterling, nor were they likely to exceed it materially. The French had no fewer than 70 manufactories of nerd porcelain, and their exports of this article has doubled in the short apace of five years, enforcing upon us the neci ssity of paying particular attention to the improvement of this manufacture, which had been introduced into England by M. Minton. There were about 40 manufactories of porcelain in the Zollve rein, Saxony, and Austria. Summing up the results of his remarks upon the various branches of this art, the lecturer expressed his opinion that England had nothing to fear in the ceramic raanufacture, from foreign compe tition. While, however, he bore witness to the improve ment which has taken place in consequence of the Great Exhibition, he emphatically dwelt upon the necessity of devoting increased attention to the application of sound principles of art and design to the manufacture, in order suceessfully to maintain a competition with other nations in its higher branches. A vote of thanks was very cordially given to the lec turer. COURT CIRCULAR. The given end his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by the Machioness of Ely, the Hon. Amelia Murray, the Hon.
