MAR METROPOLITAN CATTLE . ,KETS—Tbis Du, The supply of beasts in to-day's market was tolerably good as to number, but in very middling condition. The demand for most breeds ruled steady, at, in some instances, an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81b. The best Scots, &c., realised 5s per 81b. We were fairly supplied with sheep, for which the inquiry was firm, at very full prices. Downs and half-breds sold at Gs 2d to 6s 4d per 81b. Lambs, the show of which was tolerably good, moved off steadily at full quotations, viz., from Gs to 7s 4d per 81b. There was a fair sale for calves, at quite Monday's cur rency.

MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England directors have not deemed it necessary to make any alteration in their official minimum. The recent outflow of gold, the small amount of the arrivals, and the increase in the de mand for accommodation, led most people to expect an advance in the rate this morning. All the dis count houses were prepared for a change, but as it has not taken place, business will no doubt resume its ordinary course, and brokers be more inclined to negotiate bills at a fraction below the current prices. The inquiry is not very large, as many are waiting till they can obtain assistance upon less onerous terms. The gold taken from the Bank yesterday was £19,000. The report of the Scottish Australian Investment Company, to be presented on the 29th inst., recom mends a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, which will absorb £10,166 and leave £4,403, of which £3,000 is to be placed to a suspense ac count and £1,403 is to be added to a reserve, raising the latter to £8,685. The biddings for £250,000 in bills on India took place yesterday afternoon at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were—to Calcutta £177,600, to Madras £22,400, and to Bombay £55,000. The minimum price was as before, Is. lOid. on Calcutta and Madras, and ls. 104 d. on Bombay. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at is. 11-ad, will receive about 54 per cent., and on Bombay at 2s. in full. These re sults show no material alteration in the demand for means of remittance to the East. The half-yearly report of the Peel River Land CeTpany, to be presented on the 28th iost.,, coral/lends an interim dividend of 11 per cent., Which will absorb £9,000. The seventh ordinary meeting of shareholders of the Metropolitan and Provincial Bank was held to daY. The report stated that "in accordance with t he views expressed by the proprietors, at the meet ing in January last, a change of management was e ffected in March, and the progress of the business h as since been satisfactory : many new and valuable accounts having been secured for the bank. The co mpensation of £2,500 paid to Mr. John Burton, the late manager, for the unexpired term of his en gagement has been charged to the reserved fund. The profits for the past six months have been absorbed by losses incurred previously to, but not ascertained at last audit ; and the directors regret that no dividend can therefore be paid on this occa sion. They have, however, full confidence that a rnore encouraging result will be exhibited in next account.,, At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the share holders of the London Joint Stock Bank, the report presented stated that the net profits for the six Months, ending on the 30th ultimo, amounted to £123,125 15s. 3d. This result enabled the directors to declare a dividend, at the rate of 12i per cent. per annum, and a bonus of Bs. 3d. per share, to gether £1 7s. per share, equivalent to 18 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the bank, now a mounting to £1,080,000, and to carry forward a balance of £25,925 158. 3d. for division at the end of the year. In conformity with the resolution passed at the general meeting in January last, the Consols and e'sv 3 per ce n t s . h ave b een ta k en at 90, and the ' l chequer Bills at par. The difference between these rates and the valuation of those stocks on the 31st December last amounts to £7,075, and this sum has been carried to the credit of the guarantee fund, w hich, with the addition of six months' interest, a ccording to the provisions of the deed of settlement, cv amounts to £309,615 7s. 9d.

The Court of Assizes of the Gers, last week, tried a girl named Marie Cassagnabere, only 13i years of age, on a charge of having, on the 31st May last, set fire to a barn belonging to a farmer named Laffargue, residing at Lar tigue, in whose service she was at the time. She was also charged with having attempted, in 1864, to poison a farmer named Autefuge and one of his labourers. On the Nth May last, the prisoner told her master that a woman named Balas, residing in the neighbourhood, had threatened to set fire to his premises. The next morning her master's barn was set on fire, and the prisoner pretended to have seen the woman Balas running away from it just before the fire was discovered. Fortunately, the flames were extinguished before mrch injury was done. An investigation insti tuted by the police having proved beyond all doubt that the woman Balas had not been near the farm, the prisoner was interrogated, and at last confessed that she herself had set fire to the barn and accused the woman Balas of the crime, in order to be revenged for some insulting expres sion the latter had a p p li e d t o h er. During the inquiry, the police were informed that th e pr i soner had, in the previous year, attempted to poison her then master, M. Autefage, and one of his labourers, by putting in their soup some phosphorus which she had scraped off lucifer matches, but neither of them had eaten enough to do them any harm. The prisoner was accordingly committed to take her trial on tho three charges. The evidence being conclusive against the prisoner, the jury f oun d h er guilty, but added that she had acted without discern ment, and the court accordingly condemned her to bo con fined in a house of correction till the completion of her 18th year. The Court of Assizes of the Somme last week tried a farm labourer named Bocquet, aged 86, on a charge of hav ing, on the 11th June last, murdered a milkmaid named Lemaire, aged 27, in the service of M. Gaffet, a farmer re siding at Demuin. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had been for some time on terms of intimacy with the woman Lemaire, but a difference having arisent be tween them, he went to her while she was milking the cows on the morning above-mentioned, to ask for some explanation, and not receiving a satisfactory answer, he knocked her down with a hay fork, and kicked her on the head with his heavy nailed shoes until she was dead. As he had been heard on the previous day to utter threats against the young woman, he was at once suspected to be her murderer, and was arrested. When interrogated he confessed his crime in the most cynical manner, and seemed to glory in what he had done. The jury having brought in a verdict of guilty, without extenuating cir cumstances, the co art passed sentence of death on the prisoner. =SCARCITY OF WATER IN LIVERPOOL. The authorities of Liverpool have issued notices requesting the consumers of water to be sparing in their use of it.

The hearing of this divorce case, which was a suit by the husband for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, was resumed this morning. As further evidence, in support of the petitioners case, a girl of the name of Emma Bandon was called, who stated that she was a servant in the employment of Mrs. Gilbert, who kept lodgings at 15, Marine-parade, Brighton, from August, 1863, to September, 1864. In the summer of the latter year Mrs. Smith, and her mother, Mrs. Taylor, lodged at Mrs. Gilbert's for about three weeks. During that time they were visited by the co-respondent on various occasions. On one occasion he stayed all day, and in the afternoon Mrs. Smith went out with him at five o'clock and returned at nine. This closed the petitioner's case, and the counsel for the respondent and co-respondent having intimated that they did not intend t o ca ll ev id ence, Mr. Bovill addressed the jury on behalf of the peti tioner, and the Solicitor -General and the Queen's Advocate for the respondent and co-respondent. The verdict had not been returned when we went to press. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. MURDEROUS ' ASSAULT. -Emma Giltings, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with the following violent assault Eliza Adams, a married woman, residing at 29, Dudley street, said that on the previous afternoon she met the prisoner, who asked her to let her go and lie down on her bed for a short time. She consented, and she took the prisoner home, and, after having something to drink, left the prisoner in her room, going to some work she was engaged upon. On returning to the room the prisoner. was gone, and she therefore lay down to rest herself. Shortly after the prisoner came back, and burst open the door, and, seizing a knife in one hand and a decanter in the other,' swore she would have her life, stating that she would take the knife to the police, and say that she (prosecutrix) attempted to use it towards her. The prisoner then struck her over the head with the decanter and stabbed her in the head with the knife. A woman came from the next house and took her to Bow-street station, and then to Charing cross Hospital, where her wounds were attended to. In answer to Mr. Knox, the prosecutrix said the blood on the knife was the result of the stab. The prisoner said that when she woke up she missed a frock, that some words took place, and that there was a fight between her and the prosecutrix. The prosecutrix denied this, and said sho had given the prisoner no provocation. The prisoner said she handed the knife and the decanter to the constable directly he came in. John Perry, 176 F, said that when he was called into the place he had the greatest difficulty in getting the knife and glass from the prisoner. Tho prisoner was drunk and the prosecutrix had been drinking. Mr. Knox said he should remand the prisoner, to see whether the prosecutrix's life was in danger. ANOTHER CHARGE OF STABBING.--Alice Burnett, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with stabbing another young woman named Elizabeth Smith, of 6, Princes-street, Drury4ane. The prosecutrix said that about one that morning she went into , a cookshop in Little White Lion-street to make a purchase. The prisoner was standing there with a man, and on her asking the prisoner to step aside, the prisoner said, "On getting outside I will give you something." On leaving the shop the prisoner seized her, pulled her down, and stabbed her in the head with a fork. The prisoner then ran off, crying " Murder," and she was stopped by a constable. In answer to Mr. Knox, the prosocutrix said she after wards went to the hospital. The prisoner first tried to stab her in the throat. She had not given the prisoner any pro vocation. The prisoner said a quarrel took place and there was a fight between her and the prosecutrix, but she never used a fork. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week to give an opportunity for other witnesses to be present. FURIOUS DRIVING. —Christian Lederer, a master butcher, of Now-road, Stepney, was brought beforo Mr. Partridge, charged with being drunk, disorderly, and furiously and recklessly driving a horse and cart to the imminent danger of her Majesty's subjects. On Mr. Partridge asking what reasons the prisoner had to assign for not forfeiting the amount of his recognizances entered into at the police station, Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, said the prisoner was com pelled to proceed to Romford Market to look after cattle he had purchased, and could not get back to London in time. Mr. Partridge—Did he become intoxicated again yeli. Mr. Charles Young—No, sir, ho was quite sober. Ile is now hero to answer for his offence. Police Constable George Goldson, No. 522 K, said he was informed on Tuesday evening, the prisoner was driv ing furiously, and had nearly run down a child. He saw the prisoner in Crisp-street, Poplar, driving his horse at a most reckless pace. ' Mr. Partridge—How fast ? Witness—Ten or tNvel; miles an hour, he was very drunk. I took him into custody, and sent his horse and cart to the Green-yard. Mr. Charles Young—The prisoner was intoxicated— he could not drive at the rate of ten miles an hour I am informed. A police-constable lately told you a man was driving a horse and cart at the rate of 60 miles an hour, and insisted it was t rue. _ _ Mr. Partridge recollected a policeman swearing to 60 miles an hour. It was an egregious error, or something worse. I believe the constable in this case. The prisoner was intoxicated, and I cannot overlook such an offence as this in the streets of London. I fine the prisoner 405., the heaviest I can inflict. Lederer paid the fine. WESTMINSTER. BRUTAL ASSAULT BY A SOLDIER.—Amos llarrison, private in the 2d Battalion Coldstream Guards, upwards of Eft. high, was charged with a violent assault on Caroline Fujelow, a prostitute. Prosecutrix, a Frenchwoman, who had a very severe contusion•on the face, said in French that she met the pri soner at two o'clock that morning in Westminster. Ho tried to rob her of Gd., when she followed him to give him into custody. He struck her and injured her as her face indicated. A medical certificate was handed in from Westminster lospital. There was no interpreter, and the case was put back. Nicholls, 86 B, said at four that morning ho saw priso ner and the woman in an archway in an indecent position, and ordered them away. The prisoner afterwards called to him, and wished to give the woman in charge for steal ing 6d., but ho refused to take • the charge. They went a way quarrelling, and he followed them to the end of his beat, speaking to his brother constable whom ho met. Frederick Roch, 312 B i said Nicholls told him to watch the prisoner and woman. They quarrelled, and he told them to move away. He watched and saw the soldier de liberately strike the woman a fearful blow. She fell, and be reeled and also fell, apparently from the force of the blow. Both were sober. His sergeant witnessed the as sault and took prisoner into custody and the woman to tho hospital. Mr. John .Taylor having been sworn to interpret. Prosecutrix—l live at Peter-street.

The following telegram has been received by Reuter's Telegram Company (Limited) from A. R. Glass, Esq., managing director of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company (Limited), July 19 : VALENTIA, July 19. The Great Eastern and Caroline have arrived here all well. The former goes to Bantry to-day, whilst the latter is laying the shore end, and this will be accomplished on Friday or Saturday if the weather moderates. are also off h ere . The Terrible and the Sphynx TORY DODGE.--The Liverpool Mercury, writing of the great meeting at the Amphitheatre on Tues day night says :—" The mere announcement that Mr. Gladstone was to be present naturally excited the greatest interest, and, though but one day's notice had been given g was densely crowded inevery by ticket, and early in the th e ne pe yatthe g , i t , ch h ke e eadsiw es srei immense n an b ll s din taken, nu Y and were, in fact, at a premium. So anxious were the Tories to hear the distin guished statesman that they actually resorted to the most disreputable means of getting tickets. Hearing that the Liberal committee were obtaining tickets in small quantities from the printers as they were printed, the Tories had the dishonesty to send a written order, and by this means ob tained possession of 200 tickets. This may, of course, be regarded as ' a clever trick,' though most p eop l e will de nounce it as dishonest. But it is said that the Tories, not content even with stealing the 200 tickets, actually had the audacity to print others in imitation of those which were stolen. A number of these forged tickets were detected at the doors, and their holders, of course, refused admission." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHAMPTON RACES.-WEDXESDAY. A lovely morning induced a largo and fashionable com pany to assemble on the course, which presented a lively appearance,' e carriages before the stand, which took up their Positions some time before the first race, being very numerous. Tho course, which ismost delightfully situated on SouthaMpton Common, about two miles north-west of the town, was beautiful " going." The card was made up of seven events, including a matchbetween Warfare, 4 yrs, Bst 71b, and Ephemera, 6 yrs, Bst, which, however, fell through, the first-mentioned forfeiting,. Tho racing; if not important, Was very interesting,,and the.fields, considering the near approach of -the Goodwood fixtures, and the fact of this meeting clashing with Nottinghain, were very good. An attempt was made to speculate on the Goodwood Stak3s after the success of Mr. Parr's Moose, but no trans actions came under our notice. Respecting the Goodwood Cup, a.sensation was created by a large bookmaker offering to lay 25 to 20 that Gladiateur did not start..

After going 200 yards Soapstone broke down, and F. Adams judiciously pulled him up. Half-way up the distance Lord of the Manor took slight lead of Sister to Lavender, and won cleverly by a length ; the Parchment colt a bad third. North End was stopped opposite the stand.

Racing was resumed on the second day with an excellent card, which contained 10 events to be run off. The weather was again fine, though a smart shower fell shortly before the close of the sport. There was again a large attendance ; and though the fields were not so large as might have been expected from the strength of the entries, some good contests were witnessed during the afternoon. The open ing event was won by Miss Harriette, who, staying better than Miss Roland (who was in equal demand), landed Mr. Saxon's colours very cleverly. In the succeeding race, LI " hot un," 011erton was upset by Lady Bohun. In the Nottingham Nursery Plato, Miss Roland, though unable to stay the T.Y.C., was found capable of getting half a mile, and with the top weight, 9st 11b, won, after a brilliant finish with Viper, who many in the enclosure thought had just won. Privateer, following up his Stamford victories, beat five others for the Chesterfield Handicap, for which he was backed against the field. The other events do not call for special comment, though Caller Ou, as a matter of course, credited her owner with the "royal century " by beating Success and the Iris gelding for her Majesty's Plate. During the afternoon frequent inquiries were made after Suspicion for the Goodwood Stakes, and after 10 to 1 had been taken, 900 to 100 was booked ; 20 fifties were taken about Sprite, who, it was reported, J Grinishaw would ride ; but, notwithstanding these investments, no more than 4 to 1 was offered against Claremont, who met with occasional support at that price. Full particulars of the running are appended : The Bunney Park Stakes of 5 sous each, with 50 added, for two-year-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ; and fillies Bst 71b ; penalties and allowances.

The present is a novel and handsome one, being a bouquet of ladies' hair. Locks of every shade and hue shed front the heads of fair South Carolinians, and cunningly worked into the sem blance of a well-arranged and tastefully selected bouquet. There aro roses, buttercups, daisies, lilies, broad-leaved japonicas, all exquisitely wrought of hair,,a.nd bearing a marvellous resemblance to their garden prototypes. The hair used is from the venerable grey of age to the flaxen silk locks of youth, raven brown, auburn, blonde, all col ours aro delicately combined, and the whole is certainly a triumph of hail. work. The petals of a japonica are ele gantly worked with black hair, while the blossom is of a delicate flaxen hue. The buds of the flowers are represented by beads. Tho bouquet is of full size, being at least 15in. across at the widest part, and about 18in. in length. The stems of tho hair flowers aro tied with a bow of blue ribbon. Tho bouquet is inclosed in a square shallowcase, lined with white satin. The front is of glass, surrounded by a neat gilt frame. On the white satin background, over the top of the bouquet, is inscribed with a pen in indelible ink, "C. S. A., 186.1," On the left, on the bouquet, is writ ten, in a legible, upright hand :—" From Miss Sally L. Hawkins." On the right "To Mrs. Jefferson Davis." This unique bouquet graced the parlour walls of Mrs. Davis till it came into the possession of its present owner, a coloured woman, Mrs. Ellen Bond, who was a house servant in the Davis family since January 2 , 1864. She says that Mrs. Davis presented her the bouquet several months ago, and that she removed it from the Presidential parlour to her own humble home, where it remained until a few days past, when it was sent down with Mrs. Bond's other effects. It is now .in her house at Camp Hamilton. Mrs. Davis told her that the bouquet was made from the hair of South Carolina ladies ; some of them that she had known well ,were dead; and she did not care to have the gift in her possession. • FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—At the last sitting, a lettpr was received from M. Neant, in which he describes a method of his invention for keeping afloat a vessel about to sink, and putting out any fires that might happen to break out on board. His plan i i n n d _ a_rnhh attachi ng o r, withTher a o i f r, certain dnunballoons made m co a n d s e istsofaandceri sides i of the s i n ki ng vessel.—Another gentleman, M. SThermann, wrote to request the Academy to open a sealed packet deposited by him on the 26th of June last. On bein g opened, it was fo und to contain a • project for the Universal Exhibition of 186 7.--1 n a paper to the Academy, M. Chat tenmann proposed to render vessels externally incombus tible by whitewashing the wood with chloride of lime. This, he thinks, would prevent the 'rapid Dropigation of the flames, and allow sufficient time for extinguish ing them.--A paper was received from Dr. Bondin on the fulminating power of bodies recently struck by lightning, • and of which he adduces two remarkable instances. On the 30th of June, 1854, a man was killed by lightning near the Garden of Plants at Paris ; the body remained for some time exposed to a pouring rain. After the storm two soldiers, in attempting to lift up the body, both received tw.Qviolent shocks. In the other case, which occurred at Zara, Dalmatia, two artillerymen who had been ordered to set up again in their former places two telegraphic posts that had been thrown down during a storm took hold of the telegraphic wire. Although it was two hours after the storm, there was so much electricity left that the men first experienced a few slight shocks, and then were both thrown down on the ground. The hands of both were scorched, and one of them did not even for a time giving any signs of life. The other, in attempting to get up, sank down again, and in so doing touched a com rade, who was coming to his assistance, with his elbow. The third man was then thrown down in his turn, expe rienced various nervous effects, and his arm was marked with a burn at the spot where he had been touched by the other man's elbow.---The Academy received a letter from a M. Jan, in which he described a system of air-balloons with wings, which he considered entirely new. . The young man named Glass, who shot the poor fellow Lynes,at Cheltenham, is a chemist at Bourneniouth, in Hants, and was merely on a visit at Cheltenham to re cord his vote, he having recently resided in that town.

TYBURN TURNPIKE.--It is well known to our readers, no doubt, that Tyburn turnpike stood close to the north-east corner of the park, and that consequently the latter has been the 'scene of the death-throes of many a distinguished criminal besides Dr. Dodd. At all events, in the "Particulars of Sale" already alluded to, we find mention of a parcel of ground "formerly used as a meadow," and called " Tyburn Meadow," which was the scene of the execution of two individuals—one of them no less a personage than the Chief Justice of the King's Bench for high treason. Many a poor "-seminary" and "missionary" priest of tho Romish Church breathed his last at Tyburn under the Tudors and Stuarts, as a traitor, in consequence of the severity of the penal laws against papists, and the intense jealousy felt against foreign ecclesiastics. It is perhaps less generally known that all military criminals who were sentenced to death by court martial, Were taken to a spot within the wall of Hyde-park, and there suffered death by being shot; this spot is identified by a stone, against which the delinquent was placed when about to pay the forfeit of his life, having been visible til within these few years. The situation of this stone is laid down in a plan of Hyde Park, which was once, and per haps still is, at Kew Palace ; it was situated only a few yards from Cumberland-gate ; and when this entrance to the park was enlarged for public convenience, by the muni ficence of a private individual, and it becaMe necessary to raise the ground for that purpose, this stone was found to be so deeply embedded in the earth, that to prevent trouble the earth was carried over it, and it now lies buried on the spot where it was originally placed.---Once a Week. TIIE CONVICT PRITCHARD.—The Glasgow Herald says On Monday the convict was visited by the Rev, Dr. Noiman Macleod, the Rev. Dr. Miller, the Rev. Mr . . Reid, Episeopalian clergyman, and the prison chaplain From the information we have received it would appear that the prisoner's demeanour remains unchanged, and that ho even appears, if possible, more cool as his days draw near a close. It is said that after the prisoner had remarked to one of his spiritual advisers that his confession was true, he was told that not a word of it was believed out of doors, and that he, the minister himself, was of the same opinion. The prisoner, it is alleged, then lay back, and, looking calmly towards the ceiling of his cell, expressed himself to the effect that he had often wondered why Christ, while tenu o hoo n nentb : ei a tioc r ie t tdw h vgb , eeser h ;sa id ndrb e ilu.as x het p iidlst e i.hn ri gal e oto n aaan c edtf itdnei another the ministers imadl occasionn: a a i n s c rt finding' ys t i r n e ms d s aaeriakdl faulti t n h ea wt w wti i htat with d counsel, who, •he said, he be lieved was in league with the Crown authorities. On being reminded that a person in his position should not give vent to such expression; we are told that he made a re mark to the effect that he could ascend the scaffold with a smile upon . his face." The Dundee Courier says; --" Some facts have come to our knowledge con nected with the mysterious burning of the servant in his house in Berkeley-terrace, calculated to throw a deeper shade of suspicion over the bccurrZmce than any thing in the account of it contained in the narratives of tho calamity. It is quite true that the door of the room where the servant was sleeping was locked, but it is not quite so certain that it was locked from the inside. The key was not in the lock, but was found by Dr. Pritchard, in a room full of smoke, lying on the , bed, .where the ser vant lay charred and lifeless: Nobody saw the key until it was in the doctor's hand, and how he could have so readily found it in so unlikely -a„plac3, amid the dense and almost suffocating smoke, remains a mystery that, wefear, .points to only one solution. On another matter—viz., the motive for the double murder of which he has been found guilty—considerable light is thrown by his relations with a wealthy heiress in Glasgow. The young lady in ques tion had some £14,000 in her own right. Dr. Pritchard was on visiting and generally pretty familiar terms with the heiress, upon whom, simple and unsuspecting to a de gree, no blame rests. Aware of her resources, the doctor sought a loan of some money. Before giving it the young lady consulted' a friend, who advised that the money should not be given. The advice was acted upon, and the refusal broke up the correspondence. The hiatus in the intercourse thus created rendered it impossible for the pro ht it matters all gone right, it is easy to perceive wha in which no light fell in light pro secution to introduce this episode into the trial • would have shed upon the one point in the case f nen in his court, and no light has yet a but, had confession." THE LATE ELECTION RIOT AT NOTTINGHAM.— Yesterday morning 12 persons were taken before the Mayor and sitting magistrates at the Nottingham • Police-court, charged with riotous conduct during the late election con test in the borough. They were all committed for trial at the nest assizes. ATLANTIC CABLE.--VALENTIA, Wednesday. —The Great Eastern has reached this port quite safely. The cable is in perfect condition. When off Land's End she fell in with the Caroline bearing that portion of cable which is to be laid from the shore at Valentia to the point of junction with the principal length that is on board the great ship. She took the Caroline in tow, and brought her on to Valentia. Since Sunday night the weather has been very heavy, and toward the end of the - passage con siderable motion was experienced. Her speed was only six or seven knots an hour. It has been determined that while the Caroline is laying the shore end of the cable the Great Eastern shall cruise off and on, so that if the weather be bad she can run into Berehaven.
