II this Company, numbering 5,000, for the purposes here kafter mentioned. Mr. Reuter by his personal influence on the Continent, h as obtained:and has handed over to this Company, a con eiession from the Hanoverian Government, giving an exclu v, right for 30 years to lay down and work submarine a egr nd aphic cables between the English and Hanoverian °oasts, and the same exclusive right to lay la wires to ce rtain important places in Germany, besides other contin gent advantages of a very valuable character. 0 • „ Mcial statistics in the possession of the Directors show !fat th e number of messages between England and Ger- 1" 411 3' in the four years ending 1864 had increased 130 per rut., and in the last two years alone 80 per cent. ; and it e ' S utter of notoriety that the existing lines are unable to things desirable in telegraphy. The Directors are in a position to state that under the con cession obtained, and the arrangements they have con cluded for working it, they will be able to transmit meg fyes from England to the places named below within a few aulnutee from the time of despatch_ Arr angelnem.. hnra }lrian made witri - --a.--.—u_knotra con tractors, the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Co mpany, for constructing and laving down the requisite by which the actual cost oral' the work to be done has been accurately determined. The Electric and International Telegraph Companyhave agreed to an arrangement by which the use of a certain I loolber of wires is to be ceded to them for a term of five .Sears, that company guaranteeing the transmission over e Hanoverian cable of the whole of the messages col eeted at thei r different stations in the United Kingdom, fo r Hano ver , B remen , H am b urg , S c hl es wi g -Holstein, De nmark, Sweden, Norway, &c., and further guarantee- Dg a minimum amount of business which, under the con ditions of the concession, and under normal circumstances, Will produce a minimum annual revenue equal to 15 per cent. on the total amount of capital required. this estimate is based having been placed in the hands of thenell-kn.own accountants,Xessrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co., certificate of the correctness thereof, annexed " No. 3, Moorgate-street, Feb. 23. 1866. " Sir, Having perused and considered the documents Ipeotioned in the subjoined -note relating to the subject of Proposed Submarine Telegraph between England and „,,,over, we are enabled from the data therein contained u other information supplied to us, to state the follow -Ing '4 facts and conclusions respecting the profit results of t h o undertaking. " The re qu i s it e amount of capital will be £150,000 ; that -8 t° say, £130,175 for manufacturing and laying down the eable., leaving the sum of £19,825 to provide for contia geneies and working capital. " Estimating the revenue to be derived under the agree teett with the Telegraph Company upon the basis of the mi nimum number of messages guaranteed to be forwarded b i l C ompany that Company, we find, after paying or reserving to the 'erapany their proportion Or the net receipts, that the net profit will amount to at least 15 per cent. per annum on the t otal amount of the capital required—namely, £ 150 , 000 . , Having regard, however, to the probability that the actual traffic of tfie cable will greatly exceed the secured fu roimum, there is reasonable ground for expecting that t b o actual rate of profit will considerably exceed .15 per Se nt- per annum.

This minimum is, moreover, entirely exclusive and in " Pendent of the continually increasing profits of the busi -I°BB purchased from Mr. Reuter, which will be very consi erably augmented by the use of the wire retained by the C Ompany fo r the purposes of that business. le durability of cables in shallow waters, such as the North Sea, where the Company's cable will be laid, is Prci ved by experience.

GRONOW, formerly of the Grenadier Guards, and Author cf " Recol lections and Anecdotes," " Celebrities of London and Paris," &c. Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris, has left a widow and four young children, by his second marriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his funeral expenses, or even to purchase bread. Captain Gronow was disinherited by his father, in favour of his brother, a clergyman. and the small income which he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family estate ceased with his life • while the sums he received from time to time for his " Recolleetions" were expended in providing for the increasing expenses of his young family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her children.

Two Fenian fugitives have been arrested at Dro mahair, in the county Leitrim, and two others in Dromard, in the county of Sligo. Yesterday after noon 45 of the Fenian prisoners were removed from Kihnainham Gaol to Mountjoy Convict Prison. This batch includes nearly all the American officers and the more important prisoners arrested under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act. It was to make room for them that the ordinary convicts were sent to Belfast on Saturday, so that the Belfast people were mistaken in regarding those prisoners as Fenians. PORTSMOUTH, Wednesday Evening. A new ship, bearing an old and honoured name, now lies anchored at Spithead —the Bellerophon, or Billyruffian, as seamen generally designate her. Unlike the Bellerophon of former days is the iron ship designed by Mr. Reed, chief constructor of the navy. When Britain's best bulwarks wore her wooden walls, the old Bellerophon and Arethusa were crack men of war, and even now old salts tell of the glorious times when those ships were modern and invin cible. Mr. Reed's Bellerophon is undoubtedly a splendid vessel of her class, and, premising her speed answers the constructor's anticipation, she will rank with the first of our ironclad navy. This morning was fixed for a preliminary trial, or what may be more properly designated a contrac tor's trial, of the new ship's machinery. At half-past ten the Fancy, gunboat, was ready, steam up, alongside theße serve-office, to embark the chief constructor, engineer, and officials for Spithead. The morning was beautifully fine, and the wind was favourable for the run. Mr. Reed, chief constructor of the navy; Capt. Tatham, of the Bellerophon; Capt. Herbert, of the Royal Sovereign ; Mr. Penn, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Penn, jun., Master Commander J. Loane, and numerous officials, having embarked on board the Fancy, the little vessel made for Spithead, passing the five masted Minotaur, and leaving the red painted Royal Sove reign close alongside the dockyard. A short run brought the Fancy up to the stern of the Bellerophon, trim and shipshape as she appeared. Ironclads are generally un sightly, especially when incomplete, but the Belerophon appeared to be an exception. Her rigging was neat and prim, and first impressions received from external appear ances were undoubtedly favourable. Her round over hanging stern, riding high, appeared somewhat strange and unsightly, which, perhaps, may be attributed to the marked absence of an outer stern-post. The Bel lerophon, of 4,246 tons, was built at Chatham, from Mr. Reed's designs. The main copy of the ship is . plated with 6 in. of iron, tapering forward and aft to 4i in The first portion of her keel was laid down on Saturday, April 9, 1864, and last Friday she left her "birthplace" for Spithead. It was twelve months after the first portion of her keel was laid ere the last plate of the keel was obtained from the contractor. More weight has been built into the ship during a given period—and I should state that the work was weighed every week—than into any armour plated ship built for the British Government. She is built on the cellular system, and has two entire " skins," these being divided into water-tight compartments, affording as it were a double protection. Thus, if her outer bottom, or " skin," were stove, or carried away, she would maintain nearly the same line of flotation. The inner "skin" extends to the main deck, and premising that her bottom was pierced at any point from the keel to the main deck, the ship would still float almost as before. She is divided into compart ments within the inner "skin," by water-tight bulk-heads, having water-tight doors for purposes of ventilation. These doors, of course, are closed when danger is appre hended. Her main deck beams are plated with half-inch iron, on which is laid four inches of oak plank. The upper deck is plated with half-inch steel, and covered with four inches of fir. The engine-room is protected by shot-proof iron gratings, made to slide to and fro as occasion may require, by means of a screw. During action the machinery is entirely safe from falling shot. Her gratings are also of galvanised iron, possessing great strength, although light in appearance. The masts are of iron, and the yards of steel, the rigging being of wire, and the dead-eyes of malleable cast-iron. Sho is fitted with Brown's patent capstan and deck stoppers. The upper deck has a water course, or gutter, running its whole length, so that in the event of her shipping a heavy sea, the water, instead of swamping the deck, lodges in the course, and returns to the sea through scuppers fitted in the gutter. Had such a plan been adopted in the construction of the ill-fated London she might have floated. Then as to her armament, the Bellerophon affords great security in action by reason of her peculiar construction. She has three batteries, central, bow, and stern, in addition to a turret amidships, the latter being plated with eight-inch armour, manufactured by Camell and Co. In the turret are perpendicular loopholes for rifles, the riflemen being enabled to protect themselves after discharging their arms by closing the aperture se cured by an external door, to which is attached a small chain. The turret is entered from the central battery, and from it all orders are communicated by a system of tele graphy to the hold, magazine, and engine-room. She car ries ten 300-pounders, smooth-born, and three 6i-ton guns, all muzzle-loaders. By the arrangement of the three bat teries every man in the ship is protected, being, as it were, encased in armour-plating. The guns in the central bat tery are trained by Mr. Reed's new training gear, worked about 17. i seconcit.irTftts j etpra rcrt ' et 'n fet e tjt h's" It / t iII rangements. Another simple, yet important, arrangement \ is the fixing of numerous loopholes in the side, affording facility in discharging rifles at an enemy, and affording security against the best marksman. A small aperture is cut in the iron side, through which a rifle can bo discharged, and when the Millet has left the rifle the marksman pulls a chain, which closes a small iron shutter, and protects him from danger. The loophole externally presents a very small surface, while it expands internally, allowing the rifleman ample space to manage the shutter, so inge niously contrived. There are four large anchors of 80 cwt. each, the invention of Mr. Rogers, who has patented the plan on which they are made. These have been tested about 25 per cent. above the Admiralty anchor of 95 cwt. ; they are " catted" on a system invented by Mr. Reed, RN., brother to the chief constructor. Thus it will be seen by these particulars that the ship possesses all the excellence that modern inventions can supply or money procure. Gisborne's system of telegraphy is in use on board, by which orders are communicated to all parts of the ship. The engines are set in motion and stopped by this system, which is both simple and efficacious. The trial of to- day demonstrated the excellence of the rudder to a remarkable degree. Nothing could have been more com plete than the precise and rapid steering of this great ship, for she rounded in a few seconds, and was steaming on an opposite course ere an ordinary vessel would have com menced to turn. The remarkable manner in which she steered, provoked inquiry as to the means used to secure such a satisfactory result ; and I learned that, for the first time, the "balance rudder" has been applied to the Belle rophon. This rudder was originally invented many years ago by Lord Stanhope, and tried in the Great Britain, when it was supposed to have failed. Mr. Reed, it appears, improved npon the original invention, and this balance rudder has since been largely introduced, with great suc cess, into the American navy. The long corvettes-340 feet in length—now in course of construction by the American Government, are fitted with this peculiar steer ing apparatus. There are features in the mode of sup porting and working this rudder which have been intro duced by the chief constructor for the first time, and which are peculiar to the ship. The principal feature is that instead of being in the centre its pivot turns on the fore edge, one-third of the area of the rudder being before the centre, and two-thirds abaft. When this ship was tried at the Nore she reversed from one point of the com pass to its opposite in one minute and a half, and this at full speed. It is evident to the veriest tyro in naval architecture that the factof this ship having been designed with a much gr- „r draught of water after than forward has tended to improve her steering qualities, the ultimate low draught of the Bellerophon when ready for sea being 21 feet forward and 26 feet aft. When at full speed this ship can be easily steered by six men on deck. To ascertain the working of the engines to-day was the primary object of the trial, and these I will briefly describe. The engines were manufactured by Messrs. John Penn and Son, of Greenwich ; they are of 1,000 nominal horse-power, and will, it is bellowed, work up to 6 ; 000. They are on the patent trunk principle, having surface con densers, superheater; and apparatus for working the steam expansively, thus economising the consumption of fuel. The cylinders are of the effective diameter of 104 i inches, with a stroke of four feet. There are eight boilers, each of which can be used independently or collectively. The machinery was in charge of Mr. Newton, chief engineer of the ship. Mr. Penn and Mr. Matthews were present watch ing their working, with their assistants, Mr. Anderson !mu Mr. Knight. The boilers were in charge of Mr. Penning and his mon from the dockyard. The engines are li g ht of workmanship and undoubtedly very perfect , ship was draw back being considerable priming, w hi c h had unfavour able effect. I may here remark th at when MePre lin Sands, the an this only tried onthe 22d September last y ear, at thes an absence of hot ' a reported the mean speed was 13. 645 kn ots. Theengines to have worked admirably , and theiem , a bearings. The draught at that trial N ' v ' as, forward, 2 16.6 ; forward, aft, 23.6 ; vacuum in t he condensers, 5 5 ; aft, 25 The water was smoo th, the four-bladed screw being used, 80 tons of coal we re on board. At starting to -day 153 tons of coal were on board, the ship's draught being 19 feet forward and 24 feet 6 inches aft. She was fitted on this occasion with a two-bladed Griffith's screw. Several runs Were made from Spithead to the east end of the Isle of Wight, past the Warner and Nab lights, the result being satisfactory for a preliminary trial, the speed being an improvement when compared with the previous runs. Pending an official trial of s peid, at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, I reserve figures until taken from given distances, at the same time expressing a belief that she will realise, if not exceed, 14 knots. The contractor's trial will be resumed on Fri day; the day for the Stokes Bay run has not been fixed. The Bellerophon promises well, and, providing her speed comes up to the mark I have named, she will be a great acquisition to our iron-clad navy. A young man, named M'Cormack, discovered 25 bayonets at Monaghan yesterday evening. They were concealed in a ditch about 60 perches from the Police Barracks. These weapons are much more likely to have belonged to Orangemen than to Fenians. A crowded meeting of members of the Established Church was held is the town of Antrim on Tuesday in order to take measures for their defence against the Fenians. The chair was taken by Captain Brooke, and among those who took part in the pro ceedings were four clergymen—the Rev. Messrs. a t n to stand liberties against i n the and threatened Canning, Green, Smith, and Adare. They passed resolutions to the effect that they pledged them selvesfor the com mon mutua l' d e f ence of their property, lives, hr e s a t tl a n d e f d a st u attacks on of conspirators, who, under the false pretence of patriotism, seek only to enrich themselves by tha slaughter and plunder of the peaceable and unpro tected, and agreed to form a general committee, with branches, for this purpose. The gentleman who convened the meeting, Mr. Gwynn, gave his hearers the following pieces of information :—" With regard to the present state of the country, he mentioned that he had been told by a lady friend of his, who was in company with the Lord-Lieutenant recently at the Viceregal Lodge, that in reply to a remark of hers that she supposed the conspiracy was now crushed out, his Excellency said, I tell you what, madam ; I know not but before you and I rise from this table despatches may reach me of an actual in vasion—of an actual rising throughout the king dom.'" Mr. Gwynn also stated that, "from his knowledge of the country, he was impressed most seriously with the opinion that the loyal subjects in this land should have some organisation to meet that of the Fenians. One of the principal landlords in that part of the country had embodied a large num ber of his own tenantry, whom he had supplied with arms ; and the same gentleman had employed drill ' sergeants to instruct those tenants, so that they might be prepared for resistance." The Carlow grand jury yesterday passed a reso lution expressing their entire approval of the mea sures adopted by the Lord Lieutenant for the sup pression of Fenianism. They state that, "by a firm and judicious use of the powers imparted to him by the suspension of the Habeas Corpue Act, he has paralyzed the efforts of a traitorous conspiracy against the integrity of the empire, and saved the country from scenes of bloodshed and violence which would otherwise have taken place. As justices of the peace, we desire to tender him our thanks for the assistance he has been ready to afford us in main taining the peace of the county." They also re commended that Constable Cox should be promoted to the rank of Head Constable, for having arrested, under circumstances of great difficulty, J. Morris, charged with being the chief leader of the Fenian conspiracy in that county. It was stated yesterday at the Four Courts that Baron Hughes has been suffering from severe indis position since his return from circuit. The Cork Examiner states that, in the South, the constabulary arc resigning in large numbers, in con sequence of the inadequacy of their pay, and are emigrating, chiefly to Australia. _ _ The Ist battalion of the Coldstream Guards was inspected yesterday morning at the Nine Acres, Phoenix-park, by Major-Gen. Conyngham, C. 8., commanding the Dublin Division. The regiment ap peared in splendid order, under the command of Col. D. W. Carleton, Lieut.-Col. Crawley, and Major Goodlake.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c. , receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, X 2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor famili es in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

BRADFORD, March 15.—The reduction in the Bank rate of discount to 6 per cent. and the firm ness in the Liverpool cotton-market have tended to strengthen the tone of the wool-market to-day. There have been some considerable transactions in wool, and although prices cannot be quoted actually higher, they were rather against the buyer. Some sorts, such as bright-haired hogs and wethers, which are scarce, in some instances commanded improved rates. Spinners are almost without stocks, and staplers were very confident as to future prospects. There was little fresh business done in worsted yarns, especially on the part of the export houses. Two-folds were firmer, and there was more inquiry for 40's for Russia, and for carded yarns. Quotations higher. In pieces there was some activity in some departments, and quotations were hardening in their tendency. _ _ _ CARDIFF, 14th.—During the week trade has been somewhat brisker than it was at our last report. The demand for steam qualities of coal is on the increase, and the shipments to the Mediterranean are very heavy, particularly to Constantinople, Havre, Malta, &c., while the supply to the East and West Indies is also considerable. House qualities are also in good demand, and the new collieries in the Ely and Rhondda Valleys find no want of orders. In iron the speculation in Scotch warrants is very great, and the quotation fluctuates daily. There is a steady trade doing in rail and bar, which now stands at 15s. and £7 respectively per ton. Pig iron has risen considerably. The tin trade is brisk, and the workers are fully employed.

The first spring flower show of the season took place yesterday at the Horticultural Gardens, South Kensington. Notwithstanding the comparative hi clemency of the weather there was a very large and fashionable attendance, which would no doubt have been considerably increased but for her Majesty's Court at Buckingham Palace. The Prince and Princess Hohenlohe were present, and were conducted over the grounds by Mr. Eyles, the superintendent of the gardens. There were also present the Archbishop of Armagh, the Countess of Bessborough, the Countess of Cawdor, Lord Eliot, Lord H. G. Lennox, Baroness llambro, Sir J. Scott, Sir Wm. Ball, Sir T. Beau champ, Lady M. Campbell, Lady Macdonald, Lady Price, Lady Byles, Lady Wilson, Lady Dorothy Nevill, Dowager Lady Suffield, Lady Isabella Whit bread, Sir A. W. Buller, Lady Louisa Moncreiffe, and Lady M'Lean. The quantity of flowers exhi bited were not, of course, so great as in the later shows of the season, but there is a charm and fresh ness about the spring flowers that render these early shows exceedingly interesting. Thehyacinths, tulips, crocuses, lilies of the valley, primulas, and roses give' promise of the coming summer ; and though frost and cutting winds may assail the visitors, when not protected by the conservatory or the covered arcades the flowers themselves exhale their fresh odours and flourish in an atmosphere of congenial warmth. The show of hyacinths yesterday was perhaps finer than anything of the kind which has ever been displayed ; the blooms were in many instances finely formed, the colours perfect, and, it is needless to say, the scent was sweet and almost overpowering. The prin cipal exhibitor of these charming flowers was Mr. Paul, of Waltham-cross ; and among the novelties which he showed were the Bird of Paradise, Adelina, Patti, Princess Mary of Cambridge, Sir 11. Have lock, Vauxhall (a fine, rich-coloured flower), and Sir E. Landseer. Among the varieties shown by Mr Cutbush, the finest were Orion, Hogarth, and Grand Vainquer. The specimens shown were of all varieties t and u e c afforded e ss whch t h h a e s b a e t s t t e n p d o e s (l as i n b d l e all e v i s d h e a n d e e e s o o f f thcoelgrouera, their cultivation. The tulips were very numero us , and were exhibited in large quantities by Messrs. B ar tlett, Paul, and Cutbush.

There was a very large collection of Oriental vases and stands for cut flowers; among them Mr. Naylor, of Princes-street, had several new and very graceful specimens. The society have made arrangements with Mr. Paul for keeping up a continuous show of spring flowers during the next fortnight, which will not fail to prove a source of additional attraction.
