Yea more directly and palpably will the establishment of telegraphic communication throughout Ireland tell upo n its economical relations, and on the development of its industrial and commercial resources and capabilities. The wild southiggi wilder _west_ will eventually feelihe subtle and constraining force of this new agency of union, industry, and civilization, which brings Ireland into direct proximity to the seat of Government and trade. It has long been a problem with the friends of tho sister country how to render productive her magni ficent sea , board. Nature has pointed out 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 to afford. The Irish coast is, iu 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 ev e nt s , wou ld b e a phy s i ca l change of which we can hardly estimate the results. When new South amptons, Bristols, and Liverpools stud the Irish coasts, Coe anticirtion of one of Ireland's greatest prelates—a prophet in this matter, us well as a poet— votes in either censc, of thm word— may be reallied - , and that, too, nearer home than he contemplated when he wrote - " Westward the tide of empire seems to flow." - By order of the Court, GEORGE CLL Ea st and West India Deck House, Billiter.squ O are, LN, Secretary, May 28, 1852.

DUBLIN, WEDNESP &L-A submarine telegraph between the coasts of-Eaglemd and Ireland is now an accompli s h e d face, and an event prtgnant with kte 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, a s 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 receded from the English coast ; e n s 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.

'!'DlES.—biro have'received from. the Admiralty the copy of a correspondence, which contains the fullest in fermatiou with regard to the two ships- seen by the Re novation off Newfouedlend, in. April ; 1851. The result of these documents would certainly appear to be in favour 'of the correctness of thp story. The only point raised in opposition to this inference will be found in a suggeitive letter from the President of the Chamber: of Commerce at Sr. John, Newfoundland. 'From - the , nature' of the qu e stion it follows that mere prerumptions cannot avail to set aside positive tostithony. When the whalers of the Pacific bring us home some wonderful tale of sea ser peen) 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 iedividuals tvhei were present at tho Same 'tithe, and who' agree in their story, should be m i s t a k en , t ha n t h at the ex perience of navigators for twenty centuries should have made Meeks But in the present instance of the two ships which were Seen by the crew 'of the Renova tion upon the feeberg off Newfoundland, there is no such violent antecedent improbability as should induce us to discard the concurrent testimony of many competent witnesses. Mr. Thames, the President of the Sr. John's Chamber of Commerce, contends - that it is " almost int poseible that an iceberg of the Magnittide and descrip tion spoken of by the crew of the Itenovation could have passed along the coast froin the north, and have reached the latitude of Capri Race, without baying been seen by some of the numerous sailing vessels which constantly intersect the field ice in the months of March and April." This gentleman, furthereaore, makes mention of the many vessels which, at the dine 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 ho concludes that the 'crew of the Renheation have_ been the victims of an ocular deception, " occasioned by the appearance that icebergs assume under some peculiar action of the at mosphere." The question remains, Is it, on tho 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 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 motive why half a dozen men should unite to palm such a story upon the public. The love of notoriety could scarcely supply inadequate 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 seriouely imperilled the safety of his s hip. But when wo have said this we have said all. Mr. Lynch and the mate tell us that they were anxious to send out a beat, 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 rs mystery which for many years past eceupied 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. f T a h v o e r u e r f o n r s e ' ra t h ay estory he comes drawn wi th h e itic h want nt o presumptions interest the part of the relatori. Captain Coward, Mr. Lynch, and Mr. nimPson the mate, have comported themselves since the termination of the voyage exactly as might have beeri anticipated from persons who had really seen the, e i g ht 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 chips as stated in his letter. It was made a matter of notoriety. The strongest . p6int, per, hap, ugainst 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 1 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 witnecses—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 ail, the account given by the three cbief 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 aYlrreicvkallenabturzigelawbryigo—rkt,hoenDthoce t 4 o t r h li oi ne iv i i p— a77l h B o, 21, onhis stated that ho had 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. It 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 were seen by the crew of the Reno vation. Navigators inform us that the drift would have sot exactly in such a direction 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 that s he must, about the ne cessary time, have been crossing the track of the drift ing ships. Assuming for a moment that the story sent home by the people of the Renovation and the Doctor Kneip is correct—and assuming further that the ships were really Sir John Franklin's, we might draw as an inference from the position in which they were seen that all from the deck of the D o ctor Kneip, the stores and contents of th e ships' had been removed Franklin's human agency, and presumptively so by the hands of p,s,grged ty. It soon is as eertathey inth w a e t re they they had been so long ex p ose d to severe weather a o drying winds. It is a l so c l ea r that had they been liberated frombec t o h m e e ice, water o ltr heavily laden they would, under these conditions, have gone to the bottom at once. Upon the assumption that everything had been cleared oat of them that could be taken hlb c a c w o a m y e , they thoroughly would s notatsaturated r sinkated th e timber and h a d lost its buoyancy. It is melancholy enough to reheat th at during the four y ears t h at h ave elapsed since the dis patch ,of the Ent er p r i se and Invest i gator under the command of Sir James Ross, and of the land expedi tion under Sir John Richardson, all the labour employed in the search seems to have been wasted on a wrot)g direction. The opinion ot competent persons now p - pears to be that after wintering near Cape Riley and on Beechey Island—at th e . entran ceof the. Wel lington Channel—Si r J o h n Franklin f oun d that it would be us e l ess either to advance in "a northerly direction by Wellington Channel, or south. erly and westerly by. Cape Walker. It is.now. pre sumed that ho turned his ship% head homewards some time after breaking up from his winter quarters, bat that previously to giving up theeobjects 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 Bay. 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 Lane caster Sound, whore the notice could not but have fallen into the bands 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. Yesterday an inquest Wil9 held before P. Finch Curry, Esq., upon the bodies of Edmund Colebourn, labourer, and John Stevens, joiner, who were 'killed on the pre ceding day by the tailing in of the arches of the Corn Exchange.

WARMING AND VENTILATION OF THE :ROUSE OF COMMONS. • 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 oonveyed 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 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 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 matter 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, °Nile 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 Board 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 may hereafter arise, a Committee should be named at tbe commencement of each session to confer with the Board :of Works upon any measures that mcty appear necessary to remove such complaints. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANIES. Testeeday, on the meeting of the committee, Mr. Ricardo, M.P,, was cross-examined. Electric The Tele graph Company had paid large dividends, larger than they would be able probably to pay a t ll again; but for many years they had paid no dividends The company had forty miles of underground telegraph. a Mr. 'tetchy'. had been engineer-in-claief to the Elec tric Telegraph Company from its formation, and was now its consulting engineer.

There was a possibility, if duplicate lines were established on a railway, placing their wires in connexion le of one telegraph, the other,srealin b g y the intelligence that went over them, but it was not necessary that the two companies should have the same signals. 1 Mr. 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 gutta percha, with which they were supplied by the Gutta Percha Company, whose patent had also been successfully applied for the submarine telegraphs. Mr. Glum . , contractor for the Irish Channel suhma rine telegraph, now being carried out between Port patrick and Donaghadee, described the operations in connexion with that undertaking. About sixty miles of the eighty-five of trench for the underground telegraph on the Scottish coast was finished. The wire to be sunk in the Channel wo uld bo about twenty miles. Operations were going on for carrying it underground from Do neghadee to Dublin and Belfast. The cable was ready to be sunk on the first favourable lido. The total length of this telegraph would he 250 miles. There would be four wires, cased wi• th gutta percha, and placed in tubes un d ergr ound. The Gutta Pemba Company supplied the easing, and no one else could, that company havin a g patent right for the purpose. The trenches were li feet deep. As they did not expect to get a grea t number of m ess ages frola Irela nd, the intended, possible so as intended, if p to do it cheaply, to make their stations at the various post-effiees iu the towns, and p a y the post people to work the wires. Thought the undergroued was bettor than the aboveg round system. Had been had was well recei that in Ireland, and the onl y trouble they had of pleasing everybody.—(Lauehter.) Tho Irish Channel Submarine Company only started last February, and expected that in another fortnight their entire line would be completed. Admitted that Mr. Ricardo was a trustee of the company. The telegraph was being la id d own by Mr. Griffin, the superintendent of the undertaking, and the Government placed steamers at the company's dispo sal to assist in sinking the cable. Before the committee adjourned an interesting expe riment was made to show the rapidity, precision, and Perfection with which an express diipateh now daily passes between London and Yore. For this purpose, at short notice, the telegraph wires communicating from the e centra l office in the Strand with the lobby of the house o£ Commons were brought up the w inding staircase °.--- into the committee-room, and there attached to an instrument on the table. Notice was simultaneously given to some one hundred intermediate stations to k eep th e electric line clear for a special dispatch. The r m an, with the Times is heed, re q uested the tele gra c l ai his colleague at York ( 290 miles) " to send up the fourth a d ver ti s ement in the fourth column- " clerk to tell Qi that paper, bir. " We have the satisfaction to communicate the grati fying intelligence that the first message from Howth to •Liolybead was transmitted a half-East night o'clock last evening, and an answer instantatieoiSlY-Tedetired: •Tha Irish public will at once anticipate that the message was an ' Hurrah fer the Irish and American packet station!' " The telegraphic communication being now, we may say, completed between London and Galway, the esta blishment 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 duly 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 IT, yester day morning, the Britannia paying ont' 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 aftdr three o'clock, P.M., the vessels were sighted by our - look-out, and at eight o'clock, P.M., the Prospero entered 'loath Harbour, the Britannia lying outside, near the Wand of Ireland's Eye, through the channel near which the cable was subsequently brought to shore by boat. " The morneat tho 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. Tho answer was the immediate discharge of the guu 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 be 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 Dalian terminus of the Drogheda Railway, in Amiens-street, were conversing with those lit 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. R. S. Newell and Co., the proprietors of the cable. The laying down of the cable took place on Tuesday, the let 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 itself. Our yesterday's impression contained our first telegra phic dispatch from the sister country—" The Irish Sub merino 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 ennounce 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 terms, but are within an 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 au 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 Pnosaix park. Are we premature in regarding this event as auguring a better future for Ireland? May wo not hope that the mythic device of classical times, w hi c h p ropose d t o li n k a wavering dependency 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 es 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;acd the " United Kingdom of Great Bri tain and Ireland" ram rather perhaps, take its real date fro m the electric band r than from an Act of Parliament.

It cannot but be of good omcn that, if the two countries aro to be con nected by . links of iron, these aro to be employed in spreading intelligence, knowledge, the arts of peace, and the lessons of law, order, and industry, rather than in shackling the minds and consciences of our fellow subjects, fellow-Christians, and fellow-men.

Lqst cr‘Juiag, at, the rooms of the Society of Arts, Mr. L. Arnoux, of Stoke- upon-Trent, delivered a lecture upon the ceramic manufacture. The lecturer commenced 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 Mr. Wedgewood, the founder of the ceramic manufacture Eag;and. Nature had provided England with 411 the materials necessary for the potter's art, and at present the annual produce of our potteries was esti mated at two millions sterling.in the manufacture, in of 185 factories, employing 60,000 persons, were engaged the being congregated in North Staffordshire. 84 million pieces se Were annually exported to almost all parts re quired in almost all so many and saels varied processes as 'this as great as' this, whiteness, hardn af tna "Id* There was no manufacture which employed ess, and brilliancy of =face were re spect, particularly withreruarenee Exhibition afforded the articles now in demand.

The most important English manufacture of t his description was that commonly called earth enware, and it: 111 was cne in which we had nothing to fear fro m f ore i gn 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 excessive 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 of 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 brawl:ice of this art, the lecturer expressed his opinion that England had nothing to fear 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 rote of thanks was very cordially given to the lec turer. COURT CIitUULAR. Tho Qaeen end his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by the Machioness of Ely, the lion. Amelia Murray, the Hon.
