C. klertslet, Esq. :•; • ;ifl . . . .. , _16.,,, f: "' WI August, 1851, the p . tonicaps v of ,'fie sigqiimatievetegraph formed themselveg into a Frencli Company (SOC he enCOmman dite), and established telegraphic communication between Dover and Calais. - On the 13th November last the telegraph was opened to the public, since which time it has worked without the slightest irregularity or interruption. _ _ • A Submarine Telegraphic communication having been thus suc cessfully proved, the promoters consider that the time has now ar rived to invite the public to cc-operate with them in developing the resources, and extending the advantages of this important under taking. The following brief statement will show the actual position and prospects of the Submarine Telegraph:— A royal charter of incorporation was obtained in 1851, but it has been determined to surrender the same for one of more extended powers, enabling the Company to establish a Submarine Telegraphic Communication with all parts of the Continent of Europe. The draft of this charter is now before the Board of Trade, and it is believed that it will be finally granted at the next Privy Council. The capital of the Fiench Company consists of 75,000 sliares of 1/.. each,_ It is proposed to surrenaer these shares for shares of a corres ponding value in the Company now forming under the aforesaid extended Royal Charter. An exclusive concession has also, been obtained from the Belgian Government, and important privileges from other foreign Govern ments. _ _ The Charter of Incorporation will unite these different coaces• dons and privileges, thus bemiring to this Company the exclusive right of telegraphic communication between Great Britain aad the Continent. _ _ _ _ _ _ The receipts of the Submarine Telegraph have never been less than 5 per cent., although it has been severely cramped in its operations in consequence of its present position, forming, as it does, only one link in the chain of continental communication ; but, after allowing an outside margin for works and expenses, - and for laying down a distinct and most complete line from .Dever to London, the returns during the past month have been at the rate of 71. 189.33. per cent. In order to provide for the daily increase of business, and to secure the telegraphic communication with the Continent against any risk of interruption, it is proposed to lay down a second cable between France and England, and also one between Dover and Ostend, which will give 16 Telegraphic lines of communication between Great Britain and the Continent, and amply supply the various lines of France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany. Responsible parties have undertaken to lay down these lines with a sufficient numbei of wires for any amount of traffic that can be anticipated, for the sum of 70,0001., to include all patent rights, and all preliminary and other expenses incidental to the Belgian and other concessions, which will become vested in this Company. The Charter will authorise the raising of a capital of 300,0001. ; but under the arrangements above referred to, not more than 75,0001. of new capital will be required to carry out the objects in eon tem plati on. The-EuroPean and American Electric Telegraph Company being formed under the powers of the Act of Parliament in connection with this company, the arrangements for completing the extension of the Submarine Telegraph to London, Manchester, and Liverpool, will be immediately concluded, when the French Government have undertaken to provide independent wires for the exclusive use of the Submarine Telegraph from Calais to the centre of Paris. In the course of a few months, therefore, the Exchanges of London, Liver pool, and Manchester, will and be broughame pr into i nsta ciplentaneous communi cation with that of Paris ; the s may be carried into effect with al! the other cities of commercial importance through out the Continent of Europe. An estimate of the vast extension of business which must follow such a development of Telegraphic Communication, under a system of molerate charges, may be arrived at by a consideration of the marvellous results which attended the introduction-of the-Penny. Postage. The day of experiment with the Submarine Telegraph has passed, and all, therefore, which now remains is to afford every facility to the public to avail themselves of an invention which is evidently destined materially to affect the interests of the Commer cial and Political World.

This Company is formed for the purpose of supplying what has now become an object of first-rate commercial importance—viz, a cheap communication,' by Electric Telegraph, between . London, Li verpool, and Manchester, and an uninterrupted connexion, by means of the Submarine Telegiaph, between those places and the Continent of Europe. It is proposed to - construct one 'main line of Electric Telegraphs from Dover to London and Liverpool, connecting Manchester and Birmingham, which will unite with the existing Submarine Tele graph to France,, and with that which is about to be laid down to Belgium, under concessions from the French, Belgian, and other foreign Governments, Which secure an exclusive and direct corre spondence with the telegraphic systems of the Continent, extending at the present year over 10,000 miles. These lines will be laid underground, tinder the powers of the Act of Parliament, according to the most approved modern system. by which the Telegraph will be secured from interruption by atmos pheric or other , causes. and the Company guaranteed against all cost_ of maintenance for tea years. A sufficient number of wires will be provided to enable the Company to carry on a large business at low rates, which affords the surest source of profit in an undertaking where increase of traffic is not attended by any corresponding in crease of working expense. Responsible contractors have guaranteed to lay 'down the entire lines in question, extending over about 300 miles, complete in every respect, and including all preliminary and Parliamentary ex penses, purchase of patent rights, &c., and also to ensure the main tenance and satisfactory working of the lines for ten years after their completion, for the sum of 112,000/. The whole expense of the undertaking being thus defined, no liability can be incurred beyond the amount called on the Shares, as the Directors will undertake no new lines, and enter into no further engagements, without the consent of the Proprietors. The deposit of 31. per Share will be sufficient to raise the requisite capital under the proposed contract: and the remaining 21. per Share will be kept in reserve to provide any additional accommo dation that may be wanted for a large expansion of traffic—no por- Um of it being called up without a distinct resolution to that effect from a General Meeting of the Proprietors. Arrangements are now making by which, in the course of a few months, London, Liverpool, and Manchester may be placed in direct and instantaneous communication with Paris, Havre, Marseilles, Brussels, Amsterdam, Hamburgh, Frankfurt, Berlin, Vienna, Trieste, and almost every town of importance in Europe. Express News Agents in New York and Boston have undertaken to collect Telegraphic Messages throughout the vastly extended Lines in America ; these being forwarded by the packets, will, on their arrival at Liverpool, be instantly transmitted through this Line to all parts of the Continent of Europe, so that answers may bereceived in a few minutes in readiness tor the departure of a returning packet. It is believed, moreover, that the introduction of more economical and b e_ e m a, : m ie e nt means of transmission must lead to an extensive development of business, as has been the case in the United States of America, where upwards of 22,000 miles of watPeP,llsetftetei k °-n brtk ral e Sre r h s ar , ad 6 e B ys , Telegraph are in profitable operation, and where it has Post-emce, as much a matter of necessary and habitual use as the l i fe.

" When this report was Made, the Directors merely contemplated a gradual reduction of pr;ces guring the currency of the patents, so as eventually, bat grasittally; to derive the Company's revenue from the mere manufacturing propts due to a combination of strong posi tion, large capital, and greatiexperieuce in a highly-skilled trade, in dependently of patent rights altogether. " Circumstances have, ho,we'ver, occurred since the meeting which have led the Directors'to the, conclusion that the interests of the Proprietors will bo advaneed'and secured by placing the Company in such a position as will enable it at any moment to bring down its prices to the minimum. ,each, to be in- • " Large importations of French ,Candles have been made into this market. TheY have been manufactured at a comparatively high cost, yet being in many cases sold avowedly without profit, for the mere object of lightening, by this increase of make, the manu facturing charges of the French factories upon that part of their produce which is sold in France, they have interfered to some ex tent with the export sale of the Company's Candles at their present prices, carrying as these prices still do a considerable patent profit upon: Mum: preeesses, In some respects resembllngA444, 11 1 @ o . 9 l nPanS r t were patented some years ago in France, bahaye not yet been car ried put there on &large scale. The French patents aro now pass ing, into other hands. They were offered to the Company, ant the Directors entertained the proposal, with a view merely to the pro tection of the English interests of the Company; but ultimately de cided upon declining it, at any rate for the present, partly on the grounds of general prudence, too obvious to require explanation, and partly on account of the short period which the French patents have still to run, while any prolongation of their original term is at present doubtful. " The proprietors are, of course, aware that candles manufac tured according to the Company's patent processes in France, can not be legally imported into this country, but the expense and diffi culty of litigation would be so much increased by the necessity of obtaining evidence in a foreign country, that the Directors would be glad to remove the temptation to import by a reduction of prices, if the reduction can be effected, as they believe it may, with advan tage rather than injury to the Company's income. " Besides the annoyance from Francs, the Directors have had within the last few weeks notice front various quarters of much likely to arise at home. 'More than one company has been, or is being at tempted to be formed, avowedly upon the profits divided by this Company. Any new company would, of course, have considerable 'capital, and would be prepared to siend it in litigation, involving (however satisfactory the result) a large expenditure by our Com pany: " The Directors, while ready to maintain by law the rights of the proprietors, are yet very anxious to avoid so unpleasant a necessity, by removing the inducement ,to infringe their patents. The pro prietors will feel with them, that the many thousand pounds which a really determined encroachment upon the Company's patents would soon run away with, will be far better expended as part of the ca pital peaceably employed in fully developing the processes, so as to bring the products down to a point of cheapne s s, such as to make the fact of their being patent cease to be an y element in their price. " Under these circumstances the Directors, after a careful review of all their past experience of the effects upon their trade produced by reduction of prices, have unanimously resolved that it is expedient to anticipate and remove the risk of interference and consequent li tigation In the following manner. . " The great value of the Company's patent processes consists, as m ost of the Proprietors are aware, in their transforming almost any fatty material, however soft, dark-coloured, and strong-smelling, into a bard, white, and pure candle material, produced at a much cheaper rate than that at which any other equally good material can be pro duced. - - "Of a the inferior fatty materials to which the processes have been applied, that of which there is the largest and most constant supply, at a low price,is palm oil, of which about 25,060 tons are now being annually imported into this country from the coast of Africa. The value of this material Is so very greatly increased by its passing through the Company's processes, that these cannot be considered adequately developed while any , considerable part of the impor tation is otherwise treated. But the whole power of the Company's present factories is sufficient for. only about a fourth part of the importation. "The Battersea and Belmont Factories are now nearly perfect, with all their parts duly proportiened to each other, and in excel lent working order. There is scarcely room for considerable addi tion without , more or less disarrangement. Moreover, they are already more than sufficiently large for the whole London importa tion of palm oil. All additional supplies required mast be brought, as in fact much of the present supply is, from Liverpool, the head quarters of the palm oil trade. " The Directors are therefore of opinion, that any further consi derable extension ought to be at Liverpool, and they recommend the erection there of works on a. large scale, equalling, perhaps or exceeding, that of the London works. Such works in the cheapest market for the raw material, and constructed with the full benefit of past experience, and with abundant capital, will enable the Com pany to manufacture more cheaply than any possible competitor. " The candle trade of LiverpOol itself and its neighbourhood, and of much of the North and of Ireland, would be supplied from these new works, while the London factories would continue to work up the London importation of palm. oil, and to supply the candles used in London and the South. " The saving effected in the caxrlage of the raw material first, and of the manufactured produce aft erwards, by the erection of works of the contemplated magnitude at Liverpool, would, as compared with a similar extension near Londoi t, exceed 10,0001. a-year. "The Directors do not confine , their plans fer extension to the erection of this one set of Liverlpool works, bat they think that this macb at.lamtamstlit2ftbahlaue.biCikA—wlAlßF.-0i 1853. DR.

For the best selected lots is per quarter advance was obtained, but the largeness of the supply checked busi ness, and a considerable quantity remains unsold, farmers being "reluctant to accept the rates of last week.

The first quartett chosen was No. 1. of Cberubini in E flat, dedicated to Beillot, and it was the first public per formance in this country, although the quartett along with two others has been published some years, and is not unknown amongst certain amateurs. It was led most effi ciently by M. Sainton, and much applauded. The scherzo and its trio presented a beautiful contrast of quaintness and vivacity in the minor and major, and was unani mously encored. The quartett altogether was well reoeived. The second piece in the programme was a new sonata for pianoforte and violoncello by Mr. W. S. Bennett, and executed to perfection by the author and Signor Piatti, the greatest living violoncellist. The minuetto characteristique is remarkably beautiful and very ori -4^9410-elWigitreePaTelpeas-e-gfillestialkT tUt, . I'oo9_ oiler, the t`'" aps a igerabundance of rapid pea -1 sages for the pianoforte, which seemed to require some relief. The next quartett was No. sof Mendelssohn in E flat, which was led in a masterly style by Mr. Cooper, who maintained his acknowledged reputation as the greatest English violinist. It was throughout played to perfection. The peculiarly piquant scherzo produced its accustomed telling effect upon the audience, and the majestic and passionate adagio was magnificently ren dered. The matinee terminated with Beethoven's quar tett No. 8, in E minor, the second of the Rasu mowsky set, and which was capitally played by M. Sainton, who has usually been accustomed to lead this quartett at the Beethoven Society. The concert was throughout warmly applauded by a very numerous and appreciating audience, amongst whom were many dis tinguished amateurs and professors of high reputation. The programme is enriched by a valuable analysis of every movement from the skilful pen of Mr. G. A. Mac farren, and is worthy of being preserved as a musical treasure, and should be hereafter published in a complete form. Those performances, by such consummate artistes, will greatly advance the cultivation of a pure taste for classical instrumental chamber music, and every one present at the opening concert must have felt that music was in the ascendant in this country. be effected: " The capital of the present Company consists of 25,000 shares of 201. each, on which 171. 10s. per share has been paid up. " This capital being already fully employed, the Directors propose to form a new company, with a further capital of 260,0001. (to be doubled if required), divided into shares of 201. each. " The two Companies will be funalgamated by Ant of Parliament next year, on which the 201. shares of the now Company will be treated as equivalent to the 201. shares of the original Company, which at present bear a premium, of 6/. each. " Such virtual premium of 61. per share paid by the new Share holders, will not be taken out of the concern into the pockets of the old Shareholders, but will be written off' from the patent and plant acconnts. As the writing down. of these accounts will Joe-for the benefit of the new as much as of the old Proprietors, this will be a virtual return tb the new ones of a large share, of the premium paid by them. " The two Companies will enter into an immediate contract for the proposed amalgamation, and. the Directors do not entertain the slightest doubt of obtaining, witlhout difficulty, th wille requisite p arna. mentary sanction to the contract ,• but provisions be made for an equitable arrangement bettveon the two Companies, in the barely possible event of the Act being ri tfused, and the exact terms of such arrangement will be communicated to the Proprietors before they bind themselves to take their shvires. " A deposit of Si. will be paid oat every new share, and two months' notice will be given of any further. call. " Power would be given to the Directors, subject to the control of theTroprietors, to carry out at Laverpool educational arrangements similar to those which have be en 'recently sanctioned by the Pro.. prietors, for the London factories.

The sums recently demanded from the money market are estimated at 660 millions, the calls for which aro divided over a term of two years. The sums already paid, or to be paid in the present year, amount to about 253 millions."

From the report read - b it appears that a donation of 5,700 Bibles had been received from the Bible Society of New York. The number of Bibles distributed during the year was 8,217, the expense of which amounted to 27,921 f. Seventy-two Bibles and sixty New Testa ments had also been distributed by the Ladies' So ciety. The financial state of the society was afte wards made known to the members present, and the president, in pointing out that it showed a deficit, be sought the friends of religion, and all zealous Pro testants, to come forward in its support, and use all their endeavours to increase the number of its sub scribers, which now amounted to only 200. GERMANY. A letter from Berlin, in the Emancipation of Brussels, states that the Prussian Cabinet has resolved not on any condition to negotiate with Austria on commercial questions bef o r e th e f orma l recons t i t u t ion of the Zollverein. According to an official return, the debt due by the Austrian Government to the Bank of Vienna, at the end of March last, was 143,000,000 florins, being 76,000,000 florins less than at the end of June, 1851. A recent statistical return states the population of Austria and her different possessions to be 36,514,466. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette of this day.) JAMAICA COMMAND.—It is understood that Major- General l3unbury, K.H., Commanding the Forces in Jatnsica, is coming horns on account of ill health, and will probably not return to the West Indies. Major-General Cochrane is on a short visit to Eng land and Scotland, but is about to return and assume the command of tho Dublin district. Colonel Brown, Ist battalion, Ist Royal Regiment, is about to retir e from the service, and he will be sue ceedel ley Major Monto• b omery. DUBLIN S TAFF.—Colonel J. L. Pennefather, C. 8,, half-pay 28 t h Regiment, Deputy Q iartermaster-General, has arrived in Dublin from Cork, and assumed the duties of the department. THE GUARDS' BARRACKS.—Additional accommodation is to be atrorded to the troops stationed in Wellington Barracks, St. James's-park, by the occupation of the Government Stationery-office and premises, situated at the end of the Drill Ground. The buildings are large and capacious, and will add much to the general corn fort and arrangements of the barracks. The new barracks at Sheffield, Overton Barracks, will be occupied by cavalry until the whole of the moves of the season are completed. PHILIPSTOWN BARRACKS.—The cavalry barracks at Philipotown have been given over for a convict depo', on the understanding that they are to bit surrendered when required for troops. The officers of the Royal Marines, stationed at Forton Barracks, Gosport, yesterday entertained the flag officer and staff, and Major-General Simpson at,,d staff, in their f 'new tineelegenn Inisse;Tootts: - Sir Burnett, M.D., K.C.B , Director=General of the Medical Department of the Navy, is now on a visit of inspection to the principal Naval Hospitals in the kingdom, THE RESERVE SQUADRON.—It would appear that there is the greatest difficulty in filling up the appoint ments cf Masters to the steam vessels forming the Re serve Steam squadron at the ports. To one vessel two Masters have been successively appointed, and both have been excused. ORDNANCE.—The disease of glanders and farcy having appeared among the troop horses of the 7th Hussars, at Island-bridge Barracks, Dublin, the barracks, on being vacated by this corps, on the 3d and 4th of May, are or dered to be cleansed and purified, under the direction of the Royal Engineer Department, previous to any other cavalry regiment occupying them. ANOTHER FRACAS AT WOOLWICH.—We hear that Captain Hawkey, of the Royal Marines, who shot Lieut. Seaton, in a duel at Portsmouth, some few years since, is now under arrest; also Lieut. Swaine, of the same corps. From what we learn, it appears that Captain and Mrs. Hawkey were walking near Charlton, on Mon day last, when they met Lieutenant Swaine, and in consequence of some observations Lieutenant Swaine made to the lady, Captain Hawkey struck him a severe blow across the lace with a stick. A scuffle ensued, when Captain and Adjutant Campbell, of the Royal Ar tillery, came up, and, after separating the combatants, placed them both under arrest, and a report of the affair has been forwarded to the Admiralty, who have or dered a court of inquiry to take place immediately. THE LOSS oe THE BIRKENHEAD. We have been favoured with the following interesting communication from one of the Officers of the Cape Screw Steam Navigation Company's ship Propontis. It will be remembered that the unfortunate Birkenhead was lost on the same night that the strange cir cumstance took place in reference to the compasses on board the Propontis:—" Some days before making the Cape land, on board the Propontis in February, 1852,we found there was nearly six points difference between our standard and binnacle compasses, the standard having nearly three points west variation and the binnacle ucarly three points e as t er ly va riation.
