In August, 1851, the promoters of the Submarine Telegraph formed themselves into a French Company (Socitee en Comman dite), and, at their own risk, and wito their own funds, established the telegraphic communication between Dover and Calais. The cable was laid down on the 25th September, 1851, and on the 11th November following the telegraph was opened to the public for the transmission of messages, since which time it has worked without the slightest irregu l arity or interruption. The feasibility of a Submarine Telegraphic communication having been thus successfully proved, the promoters consider that the time has now arrived to invite the public to co-operate with them in deve loping the resources, and extending the advantages of this important undertaking. • The following brief statement will show the actual position and prospects of the Subs arine Telegraph : A royal charter of incorporation having been obtained for the es tablishment of the Submarine Telegraph between England and France, it has been determined to surrender the same, in order that one with more extended powers should be granted, so as to suit the circumstances of the Company, enabling them to establish a Sub marine Telegraphic Communication with Belgium and the other parts of the Continent of Europe, in addition to France. The draft or 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 French Company consists of 75,000 shares of 11. each. This sum has been expended in the purchase of patent rights ; in securing the exclusive concession for ten years granted by the French Government, to take date from Ist July, 1852; in previous experiments , and in constructing, laying down, and perfecting the existing telegraph. It is proposed that this property shall be surrendered for shares of a corresponding value in the Company now forming under the aforesaid extended Royal Charter. The promoters have also obtained an exclusive concession from the Belgian Government, and are assured of important privileges from other foreign Governments. The Charter of Incorporation will unite these different conces sions and privileges, thus securing to this Company the exclusive right of telegraphic communication between Great Britain and the Continent. During the short time which has elapsed since the completion of the Submarine Telegraph the development of this mode of commu nication has been retarded by the delay and expense incidental to the transmission of messages over the wires of other Companies, the Submarine Telegraph forming only one link between Dover and Calais, in the chain of Continental communication, and depending on other bodies at each end for the transmission of their messages. Notwithstanding, however, the present very imperfect arrangements and unavoidably high charges, the receipts have, from the first day of opening, steadily progressed, and are now suffijent, after de ducting all expenses, to pay a dividend of upwards of five per cent. on the existing capital of 75,0001., while the experience of the working has been such as to leave no doubt that the traffic will be at once immensely increased when the proposed arrangements are carried out by which London, Liverpool, and Manchester will be placed in direct and instantaneous communication with Paris, llavre, Marseilles, Brussels, Amsterdam, Ilamburgh, Frankfort, Berlin, Vienna, Trieste, Turin, Genoa, and all the principal towns of Europe. In order to provide for the large accession of business consequent on these arrangements. and to secure the telegraphic communication with the Continent against any risk of interrupti ‘n, it is proposed to lay down a second cable between France and England, and also one between Dover and Ostend, where it will be connected with the tele graphic systems of Belgium, Holland, and Germany. Responsible parties have undertaken to provide and lay down these new submarine lines of a superior construction, and with a suffi cient number of wires for carrying out 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. to be employed in completing a perfect system of Submarine Te legraphic Communication between this country and the Conti nent; but, under the arrangements above referred to, not more than 75,000/. of new capital, in addition to the 75,0 01. already ex pended, will be required to carry out the objects in immediate con templation. 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 Mai - chester, will be brought into instantaneous communi cation with that of Paris • ant the same pri nc i p l e may be carr i e d 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 mast follow such a devel pment of Telegraphic Communication, under a system of mo lerate 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.

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, under 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 or maintenance for tea years.

Esq— OFFICES OF THE LONDON AGENCY. No. 38, New Broad-street, City. The object of this Company is to complete the chain of canal communication between the Zuyderzee and Meppen, ou the river Ems, in the kingdom of Hanover, and to purchase about 11,500 acres of arable freehold peatfield In Holland. On a reference to the map accompanying this prospectus, it will be seen that such communication commences trom the Zuyderzee, runs up the river Yessel, thence by canal to Zwolle, from which the Dedems Canal extends as ar as Gramsbergen, within a short distance of the frontier town of Koevorden. For the completion of the junction trom Gramsbergen to Koever den, the requisite amount has been voted by the local authorities, and the works wilt be commenced simultaneously with those of the canal projected by this Company, The proposed Canal will run from ICoevorden to Meppen, a dis tance of 22 miles, making, when completed, a direct communication by canal of about 52 miles, whereby a distance of about 200 miles of tedious and dangerous navigation will be saved to the shipping of Hanover, which brings the timber and other produce of that country, and part of Prussia, to the various ports of the Zuyderzee and other parts of the Netherlands. At Meppen, the river Haze, which drains the south-eastern portion of Hanover, and th e Li ngen Canal', form ajunction with the Ems, which is navigable as high as Munster. The total cost of the Canal from Meppen to Koevorden, including the purchase of the land for the seat of the Canal, is estimated at The purchase of 11,500 acres of freehold peatflell, con veyance, &c. • Government duty, with deposit.— ................. 4,000 Cost of surveys, plans, &c., to be repaid by instalments.. 7,000 Sundry expenses, forming company, engineering, to verify plans, &c., and travelling expenses, &c. .............. 2,500 £124,750 The probable amount of tonnage, computed upon the actual traffic that may be relied upon as forming the income to be derived froth the Canal, is from official statistics as follows :- Ist.

This is independent of the other important object in this adven ture, viz., the Peat Field, consisting of about 11,500 acres, now to tally neglected for want of mean+ of outlet, which would immediately be provided by the projected Canal. This property is situated within the boundaries of the Dutch territory, and when the peat shall have been cleared, the surface will be available for agricultural purposes, and readily saleable at 61. per acre. It was, therefore, natural to conclude that such a property, though now totally unproductive of profit, would acquire great value when the means of carrying the peat as fuel to a good and sure mar ket were established; and, in consequence, after protracted negotia tion with the numerous parties interested, a tract of rich freehold peat-field, reported to be of an average depth of 20 feet, and compris ing about 11,500 acres in extent, has been purchased on very advan tageous terms. This enterprise is, therefore, no speculation founded upon the dis coveries lately made in the properties or treatment of peat, but based upon the fact that peat is the only fuel produced in the country, and in general use. The custom of the country before working a peat field is to lift and burn the top sod, on which buck wheat is sown during five or six years, and the return is a net profit of 41. per acre. This, on 11,500 acres, during live years, will give 46,0001., or up- wards of 6,000/. per annum for seven years (two being allowed for draining), leaving the mass of peat to be dealt with as fuel, and after that the surface for agricultural purposes. With regard to the profit upon the peat as fuel, an average an nual sale in the following manner may be relied upon : The royalty paid tbit,ughout Holland by the peat cutters is 7% florins, or 12s. 6d. per dagwerk : equal to about Is. per ton,of which 12 go to the dagwerk. The sale of fuel will begin with the com mencement of the canal near Koevorden. The annual produce may be fairly estimated as averaging upwards of 7,0001. The promoters are perfectly aware of what has lately been done in the treatment of and with the products of peat: and, if it should be found that greater profit can be realised, by the adoption of any novel process than by an invariable everyday sale of the article, such advantages will not be neglected. The projector has obtained the usual conditional concession from the Governments of the Netherlands and Hanover, and will receive the definitive concessions immediate l y u a p w o i n ng t s h , e d n et e a c i e le ss a a e ry stim ca a p t i e ta s, l being subscribed. This Company is therefore formed u p on t he condition that the es t a te purchased by him, at projector shall transfer the peat field es cost price, together with the sections , and other documents relating to the canal, and the enterprise gene rally. He also undertakes to obtain for the Company the definitive concessions from the G wernments of the Netherlands and Hanover. He stipulates that after the undertaking shall have produced re turns and profits sufficient to reimburse the whole of the capital in vested, with interest at five per cent., one-half of the remaining interest in the property, as it shall then stand, shall become the Property of the projector, and the other half remain that of the shareholders. The disbursements and liabilities for preliminary expenses for sur veys, plans, Etc., to be reimbursed to the projector, after the Com pany shall have been put in legal possession of the estate, by three instalments payable respectively out of the proceeds of the first, second, and third calls. The capital of the Company has been fixed at an amount which is considered to be larger than will be required, as it is certain that a great portion of the excavation may be turned to profitable ac count, in the shape of fuel, in which case all the capital will not be called up. An English engineer will be sent out, commissioned to examine and verify the plans and surveys that have been made, and to report upon the project generally. Should the report not be satisfactory to a to maj the ority 3c o r i i b t e h r e s r i e t c h t o a r d s e , d t he c e t w i o h n o l e o t o f e the x ce e d d e i n p g o sit . s p h e a r l l s h b a e r returned shall cover all expenses. The statutes of the Company will be drawn up by the Directors, and presented for the approval of the Minister and the sanction of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands ; and the necessary measures will be taken in compliance with the formalities required by the laws and customs of ilanover, for placing the company fn a legal position, as regards the Hanoverian Government. The notarial act will be passed by the Directors on their own be half, and as representing the body of shareholders, for whom they will be authorised to act. A call will be made for an instalment of 6 florins, or 105., per share, payable within one month afterwards. For all subsevent instalments, which will never exceed 6 florins, or 10s., per share, and at intervals of not less than two calendar months, two months' notice will be given by advertisements in two Dutch, and at least three English daily papers. Application for shares to be made at the office of Messrs. Goll and Co., in Amsterdam ; of the Agency in London ; and of the Brokers of the Company. The letter of allotment will be presented to the Bankers of the Company, who will receive the amount of the subscriptions. Scrip certificates will be afterwards delivered by the Secretary in exchange for the Banker's receipts. The deposit of every subscriber must be paid, at latest, within two clear days after the issue of the letter of allotment. No subscription for less than five shares will be received.

THE COURTS OF APPEAL IN LINCOLN'S IN N .- Workmen are now engaged in making considerable altera tions in the old hall of Lincoln's Inn, with the view of placing the courts of the Lord Chancellor and of the Lords' Justices of Appeal under one roof at the sittings after the present terms. The old entrance at the bottom of the hall opening from the dark passage, through which so many Chancery suitors have groped their way, has been bricked up, and a new entrance is in course of formation at the west end, facing the Lincoln's Inn-fields gateway. The old hall will be divided by a partition into two courts. It the courts lose something in spacious dignity, so far, at least, as the Lord Chancellor's court is concerned, something will be gained in comfort by those whose duties call them daily to attend there; for the idlers who have so long made the hall a rendezvous for gossip will not have much space for loco motion uuder the new arrangement. We believe that the statue of Lord Erskine is to be removed into the new hall of the inn. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. race for tho Two Thousand yesterday was to the Ring generally of a most startling character, for it proved beyond a doubt th;,:t all in the mar of the winner have not the shildow of a chance for the great event now approlehieg a; Epsom. I was never more surprised in my life thin by the result, as I did not for au instant entertain the ides that Stockwell was likely to prove the winner, espccially after his performance in the Craven Meeting with AlCoran; the race, however, ex emi:lified the truth of Burns' words, that The best-laid schemes of mice and men gang aft aglie," for after Stapleton had made as good running as he could for half the distance, Stockwell went to the fore at an increased pace, cut out the work for the remainder of the distance, and won very cleverly by half a length. Ilornebrewed heat Filius for second honours by a length and a half; Maidstone struggled borne a bad fourth; and the pony of the north, Daniel O'Rourke, a worse fifth. Stapleton, HoalAkin, and Laptdist close together in the rear of Dan; Ambrose acting the part of whipper in, having been beaten all the way. The effect on the Derby betting was electric; Alcoran advanced to 10 to 1, taken on the strength of his victory in the Craven week over the Two Thousand winner, which, however, is a bad criterion to go by, as Stock y/611'a form was foui - Oefiverporradvistrieast lutter,4oo,-, ,erday than on that occasion, and Stockwell to 10 to layers. The whole of the 'field behind • Stockwell was sent to the right-about at extreme outside figures, vari ‘ous prices, from 50 to 100 to 1, being offered against them. Barcelona won the 300 Sovs. Stakes with the greatest ease; Midas (not up to the mark). Instils.- Harpsichord by a head for second place. The other stakes re quire no comment, as thoy do not exert any influence over any of the principal stakes in the womb of futurity. There are seven stakes and a match on the list for decision to-morrow, five of which do not close and name until this evening. The One Thousand Guineas Stakes, D.M.—Bay Rosalind, Toga filly, Lady Harriet, Caloric, or Janina, Glenlace, filly by Vernlam out of Quadroon, Kate, and filly by Launeelot. 100 Soya. Stakes, DMZ.—Lord Orford's Alcoran, Lord Exeter's Stockwell or Ilex, probably the latter; Houlakin, and Wingenund are very doubtful runners. The We Thousand this year is more than usually mysterious; Bay Rosalind, who, had she been in form, in the phraseology of the Ring, could have walked away from the rest, having done but very gentle work for a long time past, can hardly be expected to beat her thoroughly-prepared opponents. The Toga filly stands no chance whatever of repeating Stockwell's feat for Lord Exeter. Glenlace is not up to the mark. Qua droon filly is very much fancied in the north, where she is set down as the absolute winner. Kate has been backed for a good deal of money by the metropolitan division, but, to my thinking, will not be a winner. In short, I expect that the best of Kr. Magenis's couple, or the Launcelot filly, will furnish the winner; and that Bay Rosalind will be well up. ALCORAN of course will win the 100 Soya. Stakes, as Stockwell, it is said, will not run against him ; end the match for 100 over the T.Y.C. will, I fancy, be carried off by the Palma filly.

Pr omersley was declared not to start in the town about lila() o'clock A Si. , and Vortex, who arrived in the afternoon with Filius and Stapleton, at 10.25 P.M. The accident to Robinson proved to be more serious than was at first expected; his left thigh, left collar bone, and three ribs on' the left side aro broken, and his chest contused; it was feared, for a considerable time, that ho had also received some internal injury, but reac tion having taken place, all fears on that head have been removed. Although going on as well as can be expected, his recovery is looked upon as very doubtful.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, April 27. (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYH) IN RE H. BROOME. The bankrupt, who was a pugilist and a victualler in the Haymarket, applied for his certificate. Mr. Linklater supported; Ur. Cooke, for the assig- nees, offered no opposition. Mr. SAYWELL, for Mr. Hutton, complained that shortly before the bankruptcy Mr. Hutton had sold the bankrupt brandy, which was to have been for cash, but after the delivery of the goods no cash could be obtained. Upon the bankrupt being met as he was about to go to the Metropolitan races, he again promised to pay the money; none, however, had been paid. Mr. Hutton and his clerk were called, and positively stated that payment was to have been made on delivery orfuptthe was b a brandy. .O a n mi tho pa d y e m li e v n er t y w h a e s pingrommaidseed in thethebank course of the same afternoon. The bankrupt, on lacing examined, said that no men tion was made at the time of effecting the purchase that cash was to be paid on delivery. An offer of 103. in the pound had been generally assented to by his credi tors, but in consequence of a few of them declining to accept that rate of composition bankruptcy had been un avoidable. Mr. LINKLATER urged that the bankrupt had had a good prospect of success, but ho had met with heavy losses. He was happy to state that Mr. Hutton, being now satisfied that the bankrupt had made a bona fide offer f 10s. in the pound, would not further oppose. Ilia HONOUR said be considered the transaction with Mr. Hutton to have been one for cash, and he thought there was good cause for complaint. Having regard to all the circumstances, the certificate (third class) would be suspended for nine months. He hoped he would leave off the disgraceful practice of prize -fighting, and he would observe that no excuse would ever be accepted in that court for the almost total failure of a trader to keep books. Protection from month to month was granted. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, April 27. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, Westminster.) Ann Scanlan, aged thirty, apparently a foreigner, was charged with stealing a piece of silk, the property of John Monk. It appeared that several weeks back she went into Mr. Monk's shop and looked at a number of different arti cles. She selected a number of silks, sbawls, &c., to the value of about 20L, and ordered them to be sent to No. 5, Lansdowne-villas. After remaining half an hour in the shop she left, and immediately afterwards the piece of silk was missed. The direction given by her was found to be a false one, but nothing more was seen of her till about six weeks afterwards, when she was appre hended, and was recognised at the police court by the assissent at tho shop who served her. Mr. RIBTON, who defended, said the prisoner had re peatedly informed him that there must be a mistake, for she was not the person in tho shop. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The ASSISTANT JUDGE-I. think you have been hero before, for I am sure I remember to have seen your very interesting face before this day. The prisoner said it was a mistake. The ASSISTANT JUDGE said, she had at any rate had 12 months at the Old Bailey, and as thee harge then was a slight ono they must have known something more against her. He had no doubt she was a regular shop lifter, and he should transport her. The prisoner declared that her husband for 18 years was editor of the Observer newspaper. He died very suddenly, being one morning found a corpse in his bed, and she was lett destitute. She was sentenced to seven years' transportation. Mr. PARRY, in the coarse of the day, made an appli cation to the Court referring to the late card cheating transaction at B r ighton. It appeared that a bill had been preferred to the grand jury and found by them against Richard Sills, a solicitor, for obtaining, by threats and false pretences, four bills of exchange—namely, two fcr 1201., one for 2401, and One for 2001., from John Broome, for the purpose of compounding an indictment preferred against John Broome at the last Lewes assizes for cheat ing at cards; and he applied to have the indictment transmitted for trial at the Car!tral Criminal Court, as this Court. he said had no jurisdiction to try it. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said, in that case it would go over as a matter of course. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) FRESHWATER, ISLE OF WICILIT.—L ESTRUCTIVE FIRE. —This village was nearly destroyed by fire on Monday, it broke ont about ten o'clock in the morning. Eight or nine hous9s very soon fell a prey to the filmes, including the Red Lion lan, a linendrapers, a grocer's, a baker's, and a carpenter's shop, stock in trade, furniture, and ail consumed—all the work of an hour. Eleven weeks of cold, piercing, easterly winds has con verted what should be green fields into brown barren lands. The hayricks are fast disappearing, .aring, and water is becoming very scarce; vegetation is completely at a stand. --.-- --- DISEMBARKATION of GENERAL BOSAS. D EVOIIPORT , APRIL 27.—Aceording to previous ar rangements, the ex-Governor o f Buenos Ayres, General Rosas, family, and followers, landed at the dockyard yesterday afternoon, where they were received by acinie of the principal officers of the establishment. Carriages were in waiting to rec eive the visitors, and they p ro. needed forthwith to Ig oor shead's Royal Hotel, wh ere they are still sojourning . It is said to be the des ire of General Rosas to re main, at least for a time, in th is neighbourhood, where endea vours are making to obtain a residence. During the voyage, Mr. Dryden,_ the paymaster of the s t ea mer, acted as interpreter for the General and p arty, as none of them speak English. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, APRIL 27.

Prince JEROME BONAPARTE opened his saloons at the Luxembourg on Sunday evening, for the first tine. The reception was most brilliant and nume rous. A great number of the diplomatic corps were presen", as were the President of the Legislative Be iy, the Vice-President of the Connell of State, and all the Minieters ; the Archbishops of Bourges, of Pefie, and of Bordeaux; most of the Senators, and a great number of the Legislative Body. Amon s: the es-Peers of France and ex-Depu t i es present were Duke Decez-s, General Pernety, General Count St. Cavaignec, Admiral Beudir, the Marquis de Boissy, and the Marquis de Larochejaquelein. Amongst the foreigners of distinction were Prince Nicolas de Nas sau, the Duke of Brunswick, .General Count Ester hazy, General Ribinsky, &c. Oa Monday morning, at 10 o'clock, the wooden barrack of the pyrotechnic establishment in the Bois de Vincennes was blown up. It contained all the bl itn ainstith•eibers setitieet`tor the fireworks of the 10 th May. All the workmen were absent at break fastbe en causedof the rboyekthete s,as when th e exp l os i on took place. It is said to have the e er s e nalteoint thecompo sitionsufficiently neutralised.

A trial of a new carabine intended for the cavalry has also commenced at Vincennes. The Moniteur de r Armee states that the hat at present worn by the gendarmery is to be before long replaced by the high rough-haired caps worn by the grenadiers. This change, it is said, will take place about the month of July. The following inscription is to be place in letters of gold on the coffin of the EMPEROR at the lava lides:— " Napoleon Bonaparte, born the 15th August, 1769, chef d'eseadron of artillery a: the siege of Toulon, in 1793, at the age of 24; commander of artillery in Italy in 1794, at the age of 25; general-in-chief of the army of Italy in 1797, at the age of 28; he made tho expedition to Egypt in 1798, at the age of 29; was nominated First Consul in 1799, at 30; Consul for life after the battle of Maroogo, in 1800; Emperor in 1804, at the cat) of 35; abdicated after Waterloo in 1815, a ge d 45, and died the sth Airy, 1821. aged 52." The Ilioniteur du Loiret, after giving the details of the approaching ceremony of delivering the colours to the army, says :—" The date of May suggests to us a curious reflection. On December 20, 1848, M. MARRA ST ,_ in the name of th e N a ti ona l A ssem bl y , proclaimed LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE President of the French Republic to the second Sunday in May, 1852. It was, then, on Monday, the 10th May next, that Louis NAPOLEON appeared fatally condemned to return to private life. But that is precisely the day on which will take place the military fete, the solem nity and brilliancy of which will be, as it were, anew consecration of his government. The long -announced opera of Le Juif Errant, composed by M. HALEVY, and written by MM. SCRIBE and ST GEORGES, was produced at th e Grand Opera on Friday, and the expectations of the public were in a great degree realized, for a more gorgeous theatrical spectacle has probably never been presented on the stage, and the music of M. HALEY"' exhibits all that scientific knowledge, and command over the resources of the orchestra, for which this able composer is already celebrated. The literary portion of the work is less happy; though the authors have availed themselves of all the privileges of the improbable to an extent amounting to the im possible, a libretto of lets interest or less imagination has seldom been published. The piece was, on the whole, fairly but not remarkably executed ; the best singing of the night was by Mme. TEDESCO, whose fine lower notes have been made admirable use of by M. HALEVY. The choruses and orchestra performed their duties unexceptionably, and on the latter rested a serious part of the weight of the representation. But the great element of success is the scenery and magnificent style in which the opera is placed upon the stage, the former displaying a series of perfect chefs d'oeuvre in scenic art, and the splendour and variety of costumes, with the number of subor dinate figurants, filling up every picture in a manner at once so complete and so dra matic as to render Le Juff Errant one of the most remarkable pieces ever presented to the public. One or two of the scenes would hardly be tolerated on the English stage. A representation of the day of judgment is seen, with the vale of Jeosaphat crowded with the souls of the departed, while the angels of death and judgment are heard calling the dead to re surrection. We are next introduced to the bottomless pit, where countless demons are seen in full activity pouncing on the condemned, and casting them into Gehenna, while angels and seraphs lead the just to the regions of eternal bliss, which are beheld in the distance.
