Yet more direcly and palpably will the establishment of telegraphic communication throughout Ireland tell upon its economical relations, and on the development of its industrial and commercial resources and capabilities. The wild south and wilder west will eventually feel the subtle and constraining force of this new agency of union, industry, and civilization, which brings Ireland into direct proximiy to the seat of Government and trade. It has long been a problem with the friends of the sister country how to render productive her magni ficent sea-board. Nature has pointed out her coves end harbours as the fature seats of com merc?; and the great Shannon navigation will now, it may be hoped, receive a natural impetus which all our Commissions have failed to afford. The Irish coast is, in point of time, if not of space, almost half way between England and America; and we may look forward, by the completion 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 amptons, Bristols, and Liverpoola stud the Irish coasts, the anticipation of one of Ireland's greatest prelates—a prophet in this matter, as well as a poet—Later 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." TILE SOCIETY OF ARTS. Last evening, at the rooms of the Society of Arts, Mr. L. Arnoux, of Stoke-upon-Trent, delivered a lecture upon the ceramic manufacture. o m f i .Ili whiteness, pieces har The lecturer commenced by an interesting historical were annually sketch of the ceramic manufacture, both in the classic and modern times, paying a well-merited tribute to the genius of Mr. 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 our potteries was esti mated at two millions sterling. 185 factories, employing 60,000 persons, were engaged in the manufacture, 133 of these being congregated in North Staffordshire. 84 a nd brilliancyexported the world. There was no manufacture which employed A- many and such varied rocesses as 'this , as great ea:red in almost all the articles ' demand. The now in Exhibition afforded no rocesses• England was new p , . rather behind some of f t oalm surface ost were all r parts r e . the continental nations in this re spect, particularly with reference ' atmospheric pressure.the application of Henext to proceeded to review the manufactured products shown at the Great Exhibition. He noticed with approbation some of the bricks exhi bited, recommended the use of t e enamelled brick to a much greater extent than at had present, and no ti ce d the great improvements which been mad manu facture of terracotta, an d which rendered e in the pecu liarly adapted for purpo ses of architectural ornament at te it now n very cheap rate. The mo sa i c and encaustic ex hibited by M. Minton were a new manufacture,tiles which had made great progress, was rewarded by a medal, and had been further improved since the council Exhibi tion. The most important English manufacture of tii description was that commonly called earth enware, and it was one in which we had nothing to fear from foreign competition. In this our manufacturers had little to do but to follow Wedgewood, and the manufacture seemed now perfection. All that could be recommended was, the avoidance of the exoessive use of flint, which rendered the articles more liable to chip. The countries on the Continent which were principally distinguished in this manufacture were France, Prussia, and Austria. The manufacture of our Parian 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 of soft porcelain, the greatest part cf the produce being 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 hard porcelain, and their exports of this article has doubled in the short space of five years, enforcing upon us the necessity 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 manufacture 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 successfully to maintain a competition with other nations in its higher branches. A vote of thanks was very cordially given to the lec turer. N • vl 4 N°.lB LND T ,627.] OON THURSDAY k i tfl A 751 , . JUN E 3, 18 52. N'a f. 4 7 PUBLICATIONS. NOTICE.

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 there documents would certainly appear to be in favour of the correctness of the story. The only point raised in opptejeion to this inference will be found in a suggestive letter Irons 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 most 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 tien 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, pee:sell 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 some peculiar action of the at mosphered" The question remains, Is it, on the whole, more 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 I , escaped the notice of so many vessels? We aro of opinion that, when the whole of the correspondence is carefully w eighed, any impartial reader must be con vinced thet the story brought home by the crew of the Renovation must prevail. There is no conceivable motive why half a dozen men should unite to palm such a story upon the public. The love of notoriety could sca rcely supply an adequate reason, because the master and crew of the Renovation by no means distinguished c oem selves 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 iy underhanded, i l a l n e dd the the safetyl loss ofa anx i e ty to prosecute his voyage in the then state of the w eather, a s his might sh i h p av w e as seriu os when we have said this we have said all. hh j s r a . ts'h' L ic e pr n e c w h ßut and the mate tell us that they were anxious to send out a boat, or at any rate to approach nearer to the ice. But nothing was done. The opportunity was given to a ship's crew of solving a mystery which for man y 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 d o 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 grow,.o 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—hut 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 Kecklenburgh brig—the Doctor Kneip—who, on his arrival at New York, on the 4th of May, 1821, stated that he had met with a great deal of ice on the Banks ; be had also seen two vessels " abandoned and water logged." The evict date is not yet made out with suf ficient accuracy. I; 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 w ere seen by the crew of the Reno vation. Navigators inform u s that the drift would have o t tor K, the them into the coarse set exactly in such a direction he as Doc would have brought arrival of this ship in New York on the 4th of May would appear to indicate that she must, about the !T -ent cessary time, have been cro ssin g the track of the drift ingmom that the story sent ships. Assuming for a home by the people of the R enovation and the Doctor Kneip is co rr e c t —and assuming furt her that the ships h dra were really Sir John Franklin's, we mig t as an inference from the position in which they were seen from the deck of the Dieter lineip, that all the stores Franklin's and contents of the ships had be en removed by human agency, and presumptively so by the hands of pony. It is certain that they would become water la for they das soon as they were liberat ed from the ice, _ they had been so long exposed to severe weather and to drying winds. It is also clear that had they been heavily laden they would, under these conditions, have gone to the bottom at once. Upon the assumption that everything had been cleared out of them that could be taken away, they would not sink until the timber ma had become thoroughly sa t u rated and had lost its buoyancy. It iselncholy enou gh to reflect tha t during the four years that have elapsed si nce the dis patch of the Enterprise and Investigator under the command of Sir James Ross, and o 2 the land expedi tion under Sir John Richardson, all the labour employed in the search seems to have been wasted on a wrong direction. The opinion of competent persons now ap pears to be that after wintering near Cape Riley and on Beechey Island—at the entrance of tho 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 Bey. Of course, the chief objection to this theory is that in all probability Sir John Franklin would have left some record of his intention, either at Navy Board Inlet, or at 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. s even 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. Yesterday an inquest was held before P. Finch Curry, E“] . .. upon the bodies of Edmund Colehourn, lebonrer, and John Steven:, joiner, who were killed on the pre ceding day by the falling in of the arches of the Corn Exchange. The court was densely crowded, and the deepest interest was manifested in the proceedings, in c,mt , equencq of a statement that the mortar and work manship were both of an inferior quality, to which the origin of the fatal occurrence was said to be mainly attributable. Mr. Lace, solicitor, appeared for the committee of the Corn Exchange; and Mr. Blenkinsop on behalf of Mr. Picton, the architect. The CORONER called in the assistance of Mr. Edwin Woods, civil engineer, and Mr. Weightmaa, the borough surveyor, to report upon the rob cause of the aeci the bodies and t o i ns p ec t th e building, ied might u be e tra pr u e n acci dent.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. COMMANDER FREDERICK EDWYN FORBES.—NVe re gret to announce the death of thi s meritorious officer, on the 25th of March, on board h er M a j es ty' s s hip Tor toise, whilst on his passage to St. H e l ena f o r the re covery of his health. Com man d er F or b es w as well known as our envoy to the Court o f D a h ome y, in 1849, of the manners and cuitoms of w hi c h na ti on 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 arrival at Sierra Leone, he was at once sent up to Abbeo kutah, 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 ling of the slave 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 afterward s on t h e coast.o f Africa, in the Bonetta, where he captured severa l s l avers . Dar 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. The following gentlemen passed in gunnery on board her Majesty's ship Excellent on W e d nes d a y last:— Messrs. Parry, Fox, Bruce, Curti?, C roz i er , Tucker, Jenkins, Capel, Sterling, Everet, Staples, Ryder, Weld, Collingwood. There are 36 mates going up to the col lege the next passing day. A very good ord e r has just been issued by the Admiraltyfto the effect thataittzfgn,q, after passing gunnery, are not to be allo we d an y leave from their respective ships until they have passed the college examination. We have known instances where mates have beep a year or more before passing college. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The Dragon, steam frigate, Captain H. W. Giffard, that arrived yesterday from Lisbon, was inspected to-day at Spithead by the commander-in-chief, Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, and Captain Chads. Her crew went through a course of gunnery exercise, firing blank, shot, and shells. She will come lute harbour, and her officers and crew will turn over to the Tiger, steam-frigate. The commander-in-chief, Admiral Briggs, and Captain Chads, al.o inspected and exercised the crew of the Gladiator at gunnery. The Gladiator will proceed to the eastward. The Sprightly took out the commander•in-chief and Captain ChAds to Spithead this morning, and after the inspection of the Gladiator and Dragon returned with those officers again into harbour. The Porcupine steam-vessel, Lieutenant -Commander Jackson, went to Spithead this morning, and will pro ceed to her destination when the weather moderates. The Conflict, 8, screw steam•frigatc, Commander Jen ner (acting), win be paid off at this port on Friday. Tie Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord A.

SHEERNESS, JUNE 2.—Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-vessel Adder, Mr. James Watt in charge, passed down the Medway yesterday, with two dockyard lumps in tow, and, the tide ebbing, anchored at the entrance of the Thames. The arrival in the Downs of the Superb, Captain E. tion on Mond a y, th e C uc k oo a nd African steam ers were dispatch e d forthwith, for the purpose of towing her to Purcell, havin g be en not ifi e d by telegraphic communica the Nore, wh ere s h e arr i ve d yester day, at e l even A.M., and saluted th e fl ag o f Vi ce-A d m i ra l the Hon.

Immediately after the Superb dropped anchor, Captain Purcell embarked in the Cuckoo, and landed at the dockyard to report his ar rival. The Superb will be inspected to-day (Wednes day), and having had her powder taken out will be towed to Chatham, to be dismantled and paid off. Her Majesty's ship Waterloo, 120, port-admiral's flag ship, Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford, has sent down her jurymasts and yards, and is being fully rigged with her proper spars and sear, as a seagoing ship. She has pointed her topmasts, and crossed her topsail yards, and is setting up her topmast rigging.

WOOLWICH, JUNE The Agamemnon, 90, was taken into the , inner basin y e aterday, and is now along side the factory to have her engine s of 600-horse power, by John Penn and Son, put on board. A fatal accident occurred in the river to-day near the Fisgard flag-ship, stationed opposite the dockyard, by the upsetting of a boat, in which were t h re e persons belonging to it brig, and one of them was drowned; for tunately for the other two, ono of the Woolwich steam boats was passing at the time and saved their liven. The boat was run down by a schooner. ported from the Committee that the Bill proposed to create a debenture stock, for which the mortgagees and bond creditors of the company ate at liberty to commute their debts, and to grant to that stock a preference of dividend or interest not exceeding five per cent. per an num, that priority taking precedence of the existing pre ference shares and stock of the company; and as this arrangement will, according to the evidence, tend to lower the rate of interest on the debts of the company, the Committee were of opinion that this is not a case in which the protection of the 128;h and 129 h standing orders for existing preference shares or stock ought to be required. The Committee had amended the pre amble of the Bill by striking out those parts thereof which related to the extension to Birkenhead, and bad found the same, as amended, to be true. BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHESHIRE JUNC TION (POWER TO LEASE. &C.)—Mr. Christopher re ported from the Committee that the allegations con tained in the preamble of this Bill had not been proved to their satisfaction. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN OF IRELAND.—Sir J. Duckworth reported from the Committee that the de viation and branch authorized by this Bill are to be exe cuted out of capital which the company aro already authorized to raise. The length of the deviation is 18 miles, and the length of the branch is 24i miles. both of which are to be constructed on a gauge of 5 feet 3 inches. It is intended to cross fifteen roads on the level. The quantity of land required for the deviation is 184} acres, and for the branch 244 acres. The estimate of the cost and other expenses to be incurred up to the time of completion of the deviation and branch for a single line of railway is 300,0001., and the committee have authorised the application of an additional sum of 100,000/., with a view to the future completion of the line as a double line of way. Mr. G. W. Ileums was the engineer examined in support of the Bill. The Committee were satisfied of the fitness in an engineering peintepf :view of the proposed_dpviatiop eta branch railway. SHROPSHIRE UNION (BRANCH RAILWAYS). Mr. Floyer reported from the Committee that the promoters of the Bill had stated to them that it was not their in tention to proceed further with the measure. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. Mr. Christopher reported from the Committee that the parties promoting the Bill had stated to them that it was not their inten tion to proceed further with it. DERBYSHIRE, STAFFORDSHIRE, AND WORCESTER• SHIRE.—Mr. Corry reported from the Committee that they had examined the allegations contained in the pre amble of the Bill, but that the same had not been proved to their satisfaction.

The second report of the Select Committee appointed ho 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 air by mechanical power combined with the extracting powers of a shaft with a furnace or steam jet, and ascending and descending cur rents fur 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 o f C omm ons, at the commencement of the session, can not fairly be imputed to any radical defect in Dr. Reid's system, because the House 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 scatter it is, perhaps, only fair to that gentleman to bear in mind that his original plan was a comprehensive scheme for the ven 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, is 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 Board of Works, it is vain to expect good service or economy; and all attempts at inquiry will be baffled by the all-gation of divided responsibility. Under these circumstances, your Committee are of opinion that, as regards future management, the entire re,p oa .. 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 may hereafter arise, a Committee should be named at the commencement f each session to confer with the Board :of Works upon any measures 'hat may appear necessary to remove such complaints. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPII COMPANIES. Yesterday, on the meeting of the committee, Mr. Ricardo M.P., was cross-examined. The Electric Tele graph Ricardo, had paid large dividends, larger than they would bo able probably to pay again; but for many years they had paid no dividends at all. The company had forty miles of underground telegraph Mr. Hatcher had been engineer-in-chief h to the Elec tric Telegraph Company from its formation, and was now its consulting engineer. At the commencement of operations sending five words a minute was 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, of one telegraph, by placing their wires in connexion with the other, stealing the intelligence that went over them, but it was not necessary that the two companies should have the same. signals. Mr. Edwin Clark , C.E., en lacer-in-chief to the g 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 syt and stem of telegraphs was perfectly practicable, most perfect insulation fur the wires underground was gotta percha, with which they were supplied by the Gotta 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 Port patrick and Donaghadee, described the operations ilea in connex i on with that undertaking. About sixty m of the eighty-five of trench for the underground telegraph on the Scottish coast was finished. The wire to be sunk in the Ch annel would bo about twenty miles. Operations were going on for carrying it underground from Do naghadeo to Dublin and Belfast. The cable was ready totesunk on the first favourable tide. The total length of this telegraph would he 250 miles. There would be four wires, cased with grata perchs, and placed in tubes unde r ground. The Gotta Per eha Company having supplied the cas i n g, and no ono else could, that company a patent right for the purpose. The trenches were r feet d e ep. As they di d not ex p ect to get a great beof ines t.ages from Ireland, they intend( d, 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.

Yesterday morning, at f our o ' c l ock, the Britannia steamer started from H o lyh ea d w i th 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 steamer s 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 receded 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 these who had assembled to witness their approach. The Freeman's Journal of this morning contains the following particulars of t'ais gratifying and imvor tent event : " We have the satisfaction to communicate the grati fying intelligence that the first message from Howth to Holyhead was transmitted at half-past eight o'clock last evening, and an answer instantaneously received.

" But wo must not to-day indulge in anticipations as to results. Our present duty is to 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 ax., 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, tree 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 mod out. This, in a course of sixty-five miles was really extraordinary. " A few minutes after three o'clock, P.M., the vessels were sighted by our look-out, and at eight o'clock, P.m., the Prospero entered Heath 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 snore 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 half-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 Britannia's guns fired from 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, lam 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 percha, 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 works, in Wharf-road, City-road, and then shipped to Gateshead, where the task of placing on the iron galvanised wires was performed by Messrs. H. 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.) Sawaerow's celebrated ep i g rammatic dis p atch w as not morn brief end painted than the first announcement which another wonder of the age has just made of itself. 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 Eng land and Ireland, are now not only on speaking terms, but are within au hour and a half of what Dr. Johnson would have called" conversational reciprocity." Dublin and London can hold direct colloquy, with only ninety minutes between question and answer; and, as telegra phic communication 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 " forty minutes" will shortly be the utmost that will be required to waft a sigh or a command be tween Downing-street and the Pricenix- park. Are we premature in regarding this event as auguring a better future for Ireland? May we not hope that the mythic device iof dependency to which proposed to link a to the parent state by the practi cal allegiance of a chain, is about to be exemplified under happier auspices? Ireland has long been united to us by an iron cable, stern as the adamantine fetters of necessity or destiny herself. We trust, however, that the reality will supersede the symbol. The telegraphic wire is a better bond than physical force; the Union of 1800 may yet be merged in that of 1852; and the " United Kingdom of Greet Britain and Ireland" may, perhaps, take its real date from the electric band rather than from an Act of Parliament. What if closer, truer, more generous ties, larger sympathies, and a more cor dial recognition of common interests and mutual duties, should one day be traced back to the first of June, 1852? What if the silent rope of wir e do that which neither Henrys nor Cromwells, Elizsbeths nor Georges, Strong. bows nor Straffords, Ormonds nor Pitts, have yet achieved by links of iron o , rd t e h ar e n, s da e nfd a e r eli e lnodw t ru i s nast b tr e e,y towards cementing England and Ireland?

The ultimate cause of English and Irish misunderstand ingi is, probably, the fundamental difference of race.
