Of all the enterprises of a commercial character none has j iver excited so much attentio and interest as that of the tlanti c Telegraph Company. n The reason of this is perfectly obvious ; the immense Dclitical importance of the Company, as well as the enor 14"s profit to be anticipated by its Shareholders, together nth the scientific interest attached to it, combining to a e gress , not found in any enterprise having commercial PTofit for its legitimate end. An enterprise so important, and now become so c,ompa ratively easy to accomplish, appeals not only to the great c ' 3 „,_ l3 Plnercial interests of Europe and America, but to the Z i aPathies of all classes in both countries ; its benefi ts to "ac m e and civilisation it is impossible to estimate. b a ," - he nr approach of the period when the cable is to be is already the cause of much excitement amongst all "cc are aware of the fact. The date for the Great Eastern steamship's departure rGth the cable is actually fixed for the Bth July, about a rtaight from the present date, and it is not too much to .5 - that from the hour of her leaving the whole continent Europe and America will be intent upon watching her i - , o gress. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has stifled his warm interest in the undertaking by personally I + ll , B Pecting k the cable on board the Great Eastein about h oThewet ) ag tio o n . al character of the undertaking is further 3 1 , 4 4 . `" 1 by her Majesty's Government granting the services and cf her Majesty's men-of-war steamers, the Terrible thein t " Sphynx, to accompany the Great Eastern, and assist ° Peration of laying the cable. In calculating the rate of profit of this undertaking, of yOurse everything depends uponthe scale of charges adopted ,0 r the transmission of messages; the first tariff agreed to _With her M a j es ty' s G overnmen t was fixed at 2s. 6d. per rcrd, subsequently increased to ss. per word, but as the tote arrived when the cable would be ready for actual use, ; it Was seen that the mass of business this company would caa. inediately find offered to it, would so far neutralise the bene fit of it by completely choking the line, that a representa 'cc to the Lords of the Treasury within the last few days (1 1 the subject, has led their lordships to consent to the I °lll Pacy, until Ist September next, experimentally charging, without restriction, such rates for messages as Company may, on full consideration, deem reason able and proper ;" and it is fully expected that by this , s _ tr acgement the net profits will reach one million sterling Per annum. The capital of the Company is composed as follows: £lOO,OOO Five per Cent. Debentures. £600,000 Eight per Cent. Preference Shares (of which the present issue forms the balance). £600,000 Ordinary Shares. Th e amount required to pay 5 per cent.

Half the Mint of revenue above the said £77,000 is available for J earl Y bonus to the holders of the said 8 per. cent. Prefer tin-cc Shares. Therefore, on the above-mentioned calcula- t t c p, the total available dividendbonus would amoun above 76 Der cent. per annum, in addition to the 8 per Z e n preference . as above, making an estimated total divi le„"L't of 84 per cent. per annum on these Preference Shares, 4 111 g, after deduction of 20 per cent. for the formation o t f . t f e newal fund for laying down a new cable, 64 per o Witl ead, f which 8 per cent. would bo preferential divi lend secured by Act of Parliament. p, i TY t the pnce of these Shares will be a month hence, such prospects, it is difficult to say, especially as the S ires above given do not, in the opinio . n of persons cora tent to judge , at all represent the maximum probable re eall)t • , but taking them as the basis for calculation, and - ' l,l ering the continued demand there must be for mes %at t we consequent upon the ever-increasing business be b,_!ll the Continent of Europe , England, and America, and t o l' e r g ' i llgi_n mind th this cable will complete the line of Francisco and India, it is not impro tvp babl a i between that, by the time San- me that t e le g rap h communication be- S 6, -41 England and America is an accomplished fact, these Pr -e a ma be worth £2O, or .£l5 premium per .

TEMPORARY OFFICES. 82, Old Broad-street, E.C. This Company is formed to extend the workings of the Dalbeattie and Kirkconnell Granite Quarries, in order to supply the great and increasing demand forthis stone, con sequent upon the Metropolitan Board of Works having selectedit for the construction of the Thames Embankment. The vendor holds, and has partly executed, advantageous contracts to the amount of more than £lOO,OOO, for sup plying material to that important national undertaking. The Dalbeattie Quarries, of which six are opened and in full work, with all the necessary plant and machinery, are situated on the estate of Munches, in the stewartry of Kirk cudbright, and none of them are more than one mile and a half from the Dalbeattie Railway station. They are also within half a mile of the navigable river Urr. The Kirkconnell Granite range lies along the navigable river Nith, on the estate of Kirkconnell, in the same county. One quarry is opened, and a railway is completed from it to the river bank. .—., ... --...... Independently of the fact, as an evidence of its high com mercial value, that this granite has been selected for the Thames Embankment, the vendor has on hand many orders for architectural, memorial, and ornamental works, as well As for street paving and other economical purposes. Among the numerous large undertakings in the execution of which the stone has been already used, the following may be men tioned :—The Liverpool Docks, Graving Docks, Birken head ; Harbour at Trinidad, Maryport Docks, Newport Docks, Swansea Docks, Silloth Docks, Workington Docks, Bank of England Branch, Liverpool ; New 1 Municipl Offices, Liverpool; Brown's-buildings, Liverpool. - A considerable preliminary outlay has been incurred in opening the Quarries, and a large faco of rock already cleared ; so that with the amount of contracts in hand, and the rapidly expanding trade (met by the constantly in creasing powers to execute extensive orders), there is full and immediately profitable employment for the capital re quired. The interest of the Company in the present leases of these Quarries will expire in the year 1896, thirty-ono years being the longest period for which entailed proprietors in Scotland can bind their estates ; but the present owners have entered into engagements to renew those leases as far as it is competent for them to do so. The Directors, how ever, have taken power to create a sinking fund by an annual investment with the object of securing to the Share holders, as far as may be, the value of their paid-up capital at the expiration of the leases. After careful valuation by competent mineral Engineers, acting severally for the Company and the Lessee, a Preli minary Contract has been entered into for the purchase of the leases, railways, and plant, together with the existing contracts, for the sum of £25,000 in cash, by instalments without interest, extending over a period of nine months, 2,500 fully paid-up Shares, and one-fourth of the net profit to be realised in excess of 10 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital. The vendor has agreed that for a period of two years these Shares shall receive no dividend, unless the dividends paid to the Ordinary Shareholders amount to 10 per cent. per annum. It is not expected that more than £6 per share will be called up, the Directors considering that that amount will be ample to support the anticipated extension of the busi ness of the Company. There are no promoters' fees, and the preliminary ex penses will be restricted to the moderate outlay absolutely necessary for the formation of the Company. The Memo randum and Articles of Association may be seen at the offices of the Company's Solicitors, and of the Company. Prospectuses, forms of Application for Shares, and copies of the reports of the eminent Engineers on the value of the Quarries (including those of Mr. Bazalgette, Engineer to the Metropolitan Board of Works; Professor Tennant; Mr. Robert Rawlinson ; Government Engineer ; Mr. George F. Lyster, Engineer to the Mersey Dock Estate ; Mr. Walter Eddy, Mining Engineer, The From Llangollen ; Mr. Sut cliffe, Foreman of the Mersey Dock Commissioners Granite Quarries ; and Mr. John Barrat, Mineral surveyor), may be obtained at the offices of the Company, and of the Bankers, Brokers, and Solicitors. In the event of no allotment being made, the Deposits will be returned in full. Should a less number of Shares be allotod than are applied for, the deposit will be made 1 available towards the payment duo on allotment, and the balance, if any, will be returned to the Applicant.

This Company is formed for the purposo of purchasing the business of the old-established and well-known private , Bank of Messrs. I. Barned and Co. in Liverpool, and organ ising it on the broader basis of a joint-stock company, under the Limited Liability Act. The Bank, which was founded in 1809, has done a largo and continually-increasing business, and there is no doubt that in its new and extended form still more satisfactory results will be realised. The Directors have received most encouraging promises of support, both in Liverpool and London •, but, in making the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the present customers of the Bank. The purchase money for the business has been fixed at £160,000, payable by instalments spread over two years, as stipulated in the agreement; and this sum, on comparing it with the profits shown by Messrs. I. Barred and Ce. to have been realised, and their guarantee of the assets taken over, cannot be considered other than a moderate payment for a lucrative business placed at once in the hands of the shareholders. The Bank will take over the business of Messrs. I. Barned an 1 Co. as from the Ist of July, 1865, and Messrs. I. Barred and Co. will guarantee the payment of all debit balances (including bills and credits running) standing in their books on that day. The business will have the advantage of the active super vision of the present partners in the Bank, who have agreed to act as Directors for five years, and will retain a large interest in the Company. Messrs. I Barned and Co. are willing to sell at a valua tion the present Bank premises, and any . of their adjoining property, if the directors wish to secure it, and, if requires, to leave the purchase money on mortgage for ten years at 41 per cent. The remuneration of the ordinary Directors is to be fixed by the shareholders at their annual meetings, but power is taken in the articles of association to appoint one or more of their number as Managing Directors, whose extra re muneration will be determined by the Board. Copies of the Company's memorandum and articles of association, and of the agreement for the transfer of Messrs. I. Barned and Co.'s business, can be seen at the offices of the solicitors of the Company. Application for shares must be accompanied by a pay ment of the deposit of £1 per share. In the event of no 'allotment being made the deposit will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will, so far as required, be applied towards the payment due on allotment. Applications for shares will be received at the bankers, brokers, solicitors', offices of the Company, awl at the following places : England—Manchester: Messrs.

A Series of Papers r e l a ti ve t o Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Cii cular," w ith the signature of " Detector," has been republished i n th e f orm of a short pamphlet.

For their names , which " Punch" would not advertise, he has refer re d hi s re aders to the lower corner of the advertisin9, columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the countr), may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the info, mation that a nominal list of these miscreants. with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, w ill be found in tile pamphl t above referred to, which is estitled Revelati..ns of Quacks an i Quackery," and is to be had at the " Mediesl Circular " Office, 20, King William-str&t,•Strand, W.C. • The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of he obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory. b 7 consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed.

The present member for the Anglesea boroughs, the Hon. W. 0. Stanley, is not likely to be opposed at the forthcoming election. Sir R. W. Bulkeley, of Baron Hill, the present member for the county, is also likely to be re-elected. BERWICK-ON-TWEED. There are now four candidates befor the electors of this borough—Mr. Cargill and Mr. Hubback, Conservatives, and Mr. Marjoribanks and Mr. Mit chell, Liberals. An active canvass is going on on their behalf. BRIDGWATER. Col. Tynte, who has for so many years represented this borough, will not again seek the suffrages of the electors. The Liberals have, it is said, secured Sir J. V. Shelley, one of the present members for West minster, to stand in the place of the gallant colonel, in conjunction with Mr. Kinglake. Mr. Westropp, the unsuccessful candidate at the last election, will fight the battle of the Conservatives. DENBIGHSHIRE. The present member for this county, Mr. R. M. Biddulph, of Chirk Castle, offers himself for re election. In his address he refers the electors to his past conduct, pledging himself to continue the same course if again chosen. DROITWICH. Sir J. S. Pakington, who has sat for this borough for over a quarter of a century, has just issued an address to the limited constituency, soliciting re election at the approaching dissolution. He says : " I have often assured you that I am more proud of this long political connection with neighbours by whom I am personally known than I should feel as the representative of any other. constituency, however large, or however distinguished. My public conduct is before you, andl need not now .enter at any length into general professions. I will only say that the principles by which I have been guided throughout my public life—essentially Conserva tive as regards the main institutions of the country—essen tially reformatory wherever practical improvement can be wisely effected, remain unchanged." As already reported in The Son, there is no idea of any opposition to Sir John's re-election, although all his constituents do not profess the same political principles as their member. DUNDEE. Sir John Ogilvy is likely to be returned again without opposition. His address refers in congra tulatory terms to the commercial treaty with France; and in reference to reform the hon. member says he would cordially support a well considered measure which should include in its provisions an extension of the franchise and a redistribution of seats. ESSEX (SOUTH). There appears every probability that the Liberal party will gain a seat here, no opposition being now anticipated to the return of Mr. R. Wingfield-Baker. EXETER. Mr. J. D. Coleridge, Q.C., has issued his address to the electors, in which he states that he thinks the popular element of the Constitution may be consider ably strengthened with perfect safety. There will be no opposition to Mr. Coleridge, it is believed, on the part of the Conservatives, who will be content to return Lord Courtenay as their representative. GLOCESTER (SOUTH). The addresses of the candidates are out. Mr. C. P. F. Berkeley states plainly that he retires "in accordance with the arrangement that was made" in 1862 ; but Mr. J. J. Powell retires, " understand ing that the late members have been invited to offer themselves as the candidates of the Liberal party." Mr. Price comes forward, being " assured that it is the wish of the Liberal party in this city to vindi cate the substantial integrity of their return in 1859" by the re-election of Mr. Monk and himself. His political opinions, he says, have undergone no change. Mr. Monk promises to give a general but independent support to the Government of Lord Palmerston, and on the question of the suf frage says—" I deem it to be the duty of a Liberal Administration to endeavour to adjust that question upon a broad basis." GUILDFORD. A new candidate on Liberal principles has come forward to contest Mr. Bovill's seat in the person of Mr. W. W. Pocock, an eminent architect. A large section of the Liberal party has promised him sup port, but the majority of the Liberals are opposed to a contest. In his address, just issued, Mr. Pocock says—" I should, if elected, give to the Government of Lord Palmerston a cheerful but independent sup port—the more hearty if its policy were increasingly liberal and economical. From long conviction a steady Reformer, I should prefer a general measure extending the franchise so as to embrace intelligence and numbers as well as property to any piecemeal legislation ; and yet I would accept an instalment rather than postpone the entire question to times of excitement," HERTFORDSHIRE. On Saturday the three Conservative candidates, the sitting members of this county, visited Hertford, and canvassed the farmers attending the market. In the course of the canvass they addressed the as sembled electors in the Corn Exchange. Sir E. B. LYTToN, who was loudly cheered, said he had now served the county for 19 years, if not with so much ability as he desired, at least with an honest intention to promote its interests, and the welfare of the country. He had latterly to claim their indulgence on account of ill health, and per haps he should have done wisely if he had retired for a time from the anxieties of Parliamentary life ; but finding it to be the wish of his supporters that he should remain in their service, he felt an old soldier's reluctance to retire in the face of an enemy, and on the eve of battle. Therefore, he came again among them, if weak in body, yet strong of will, and in good heart. They had a formidable opponent to contend with in Mr. Henry Cowper. The name of Cowper was one of which Hertfordshire might be justly proud; it was fa miliar to all who had studied the history or delighted in the literature of England; and Mr. Henry Cowper had shown by his character and talents that he was a worthy representative of his family and his kins man. It might, holvever, be a question whether, in a county like Hertfordshire, where property was so divided, one noble family, however distinguished, should seek to monopolise two out of the five seats which were left to the county. (Cheers.) He rejoiced that he and his colleagues had so worthy an oppo nent, because if they were defeated the mortification would be less, and if they succeeded the honour would be greater. After referring to the malt-tax, and arguing in the sense of his published address, that it was a tax which pressed not only upon the grower, but upon the consumer, by enhancing the price of beer and meat, Sir Edward said that as he had a long canvass before him and should have other opportunities of speaking on matters of inte rest, he would spare himself on this occasion. There was no doubt the contest would be an animated and a sharp one ; but he hoped they would fight it out to the last with that good temper and courtesy to op ponents which were the best proofs of unflinching courage, and that nothing would occur to impair the relations of private friendship. He now left himself in their hands. If he were rejected he should retire into private life without a feeling of resentment or ill-will to any individual ; but if he were re-elected he should have another reason for hoping that he might soon be restored to health and strength, so as to requite their confidence and defend theirinterests. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Abel Smith and Mr. Surtees (who was enthusiastically cheered by the farmers) also spoke briefly, but they merely repeated the statements in their published addresses. LEEDS. The two sitting members for this borough have issued addresses offering themselves for re-election. Mr. Baines congratulates the constituency on the " splendid success" of the Commercial Treaty with France, and expresses his warm approval of the financial policy of Mr. Gladstone. To thequestion of Parliamentary Reform he thus refers : " The defective state of the representation of the people in Parliament, combined with the unprecedented advance ment in the education, habits, and condition of the people since the Reform Act, led me at our last election to promise my support to the more liberal of the two measures of Re form which were then before the public. I supported it by my voice in the House of Commons, and by my evidence before a committee of the House of Lords. With deep regret I saw that measure withdrawn by the Government, and I thought it my duty, with the approbation of many members of the House of Commons, as well as of my own constituents, to submit to the House, as a separate measure, the most important feature of the Government Bill—viz., that for extending the franchise in boroughs from £lO to £6 occupiers. It has been clearly proved by official evi dence that this extension of the suffrage would have been moderate and safe, leaving to the upper and middle classes a large majority in the electoral body, but at the same time removing the reproach from our representative system that it almost entirely excludes the working class from the rights and privileges of the Constitution. That exclusion makes their position worse than it was under the unre formed Parliament, and it is too obviously unjust to be long defensible. It seemed to me a prudent course to discuss the remedy in a time of prosperity and calm, and to frame it with the least possible deviation from old principles and usages. The object of every friend of his country should be to admit, not in a grudging spirit, but with a hearty welcome, the educated, industrious, and provident portion of the working class to the franchise, and thus to bind them heart and soul to the maintenance of the laws and Constitution."

Her Majesty's ironclad ram corvette, Pallas, of 6 guns, built from the designs of Mr. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Royal Navy, returned from Woolwich to Greenhithe, on Saturday, after accom- plishing a preliminary run down the river, the ob ject of the trial being to ascertain how far the or dinary relations of the pitch of screw to the section and displacement of the ship might require modifi cation under the peculiar circumstances in which this remarkable vessel has been constructed to meet the requirements of the age, and in which so many of the ordinary conditions of a ship have been departed from. The Pallas, although in a very incomplete state, was undocked for this purpose on Thursday, and was taken to Gravesend, from which placed she started on Friday morn ing for the Nore, in charge of Commander Luke, of the Woolwich Steam Reserve. Capt. Connolly, who has been recently appointed to the flagship Fisgard for the command of the Pallas, and several other officers of the Royal Navy, including Com mander Reed, of the hydrographic service, were likewise present. The engines, which are by Messrs. Humphrys and Tennant, having been found to work smoothly and satisfactorily, the ship was taken into Sheerness harbour on Friday evening. On Satur day morning the proposed trials were carried out, under the official inspection of the constructor of the ship, the engine -builders, and the inspectors of machinery at the steam factory at Woolwich Dock yard. During a portion of the day the ship was found to be steaming at nearly 13 knots per hour, with 64 revolutions of the engines per minute, leaving but little doubt that when the engines are driven as they are rated to be, at from 70 to 75 revolutions, a speed will be realised exceeding that of any wooden corvette or frigate in the navy. The Pallas proved herself firmly built and free from vibration under steam. Her course was completely changed, and the "'bout ship" was effected by per forming a perfect circle under the action of her rudder in two minutes and ten seconds. The Com modore-Superintendent and the Master-Attendant of Woolwich Dockyard attended the course of trial at the measured mile off the Maplin Sands in the Admiralty yacht Vivid. The remarkable plough ing motion made by the huge prow of the Pallas was a subject of much discussion on board. It was, however, the general opinion that the working of the engines was in no way impeded by it. The steady and undisturbed buoyancy of the ship, espe cially during the change of course from one direc tion to the opposite one, when an unpleasant rocking rand wavering is ordinarily experienced, was favourably verified. On returning towards Greenhithe her speed was slackened off Sheerness to enable those on board to witness the departure of the Great Eastern from her moorings, where she has received the whole of the Anglo-American telegraph wire. She was at that moment steaming off, preceded by the surveying vessel Porcupine and some attendant tugs, to take up a new berth about a mile from the shore, where she will have ample room to swing and at the same time have a ready com munication with the shore. The Admiralty have ordered her Majesty's ships Terrible and Sphynx, and the Great Eastern steam ship, to be fitted with Commander Colomb's flash ing signal apparatus, as now in use on board the ships of the Channel Fleet ; and Sir Sydney C. Dacres, K.C.8., the Commander-in-Chief of the fleet, is directed to have signalmen selected from the ships of the fleet, and sent to the Terrible, Sphinx, and Great Eastern to work the signalling apparatus during the time those vessels are occupied in laying the Atlantic Telegraph. Commander Colomb is now attached to the Edgar, screw line of -battle ship, the flagship of the Channel squadron, for special duties connected with the permanent adoption of his system of signalling on board her Majesty's ships. It is now under trial in the navies of France, Russia, Austria, Prussia, Denmark, Sweden, and Italy, and the squa dron which recently conveyed the remains of the late Czarewitch to Cronstadt from the Mediterranean wa§ also 'fitted with it. The system has on several occasions been noticed in The Sun, under the head of " Naval and Military Telegraphy," in connexion with the expe rimental signalling conducted between Portsmouth Dockyard and the Channel by Commander Colomb, R.N., and Capt. Bolton, R.E., the lime light being used on shore and a plain white light at sea. Its main features may be said to be based upon the printing telegraph, which delivers its printed mes- The hired sailing troopship Rosslin Castle, Com mander Davidson, arrived at Spithead yesterday from India, with invalided soldiers from her Ma jesty's army on service in India. She sailed from Calcutta on Feb. 19, and called in at St. Helena on May 4. The invalids will be disembarked from the ship this morning, under the supervision of the military authorities of Portsmouth garrison, and conveyed by Government steam tender to the Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netley. The Griffon, 5, screw gun vessel, 425 tons, 80- horse power, which arrived in Sheerness harbour on Tuesday last, from the West Coast of Africa s has been taken into the basin at Sheerness dockyard to be dismantled, previous to being paid out of com mission. The Griffon was fitted out in this port in June, 1861. She has since been successfully em ployed in the suppression of the slave traffic on the West Coast of Africa. The crew, for the most part, have been healthy, and the whole of the officers have returned who went out in her, a fact of very rare occurrence. Captain Perry received his promotion previous to the ship being paid off. The transport Alumbagh, Capt. G. E. Bulmer, chartered by Messrs. Gellatly, Hankey, and Sewell to the Lords of the Admiralty, took her departure from Queenstown for the Cape of Good Hope on Thursday, and had a fine easterly wind, which would carry her clear of the land before dark. Thefollowing detachments embarked—Royal Engineers, 3 officers 105 men : 67th Foot, 6 officers 82 men ; 2d Batta lion, sth Foot, 3 officers 49 men; 96th Foot, 1 officer and 1 staff sergeant ; 90th Foot, 6 officers 76 men ; Cape Riflemen, 2 men ; Army Hospital Corps, 9 men, besides the families of the above, the whole being in charge of Capt. Stevens, of the 67th Regt., the Rev. J. Quinn, chaplain, and Staff Assist.-Surg. Rose, in medical charge. The ship was inspected by the general in command of the troops and Col. Fox on behalf of the military, and by Mr. Erle, agent of transports, on behalf of the Admiralty. The Alumbagh has also been engaged for the convey ance of about 4 officers and 200 men, women, and children from the Mauritius, and East London, Cape of Good Hope, to Gravesend. On Thursday last a court martial was held at Sheerness on board her Majesty's ship Formidable, flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir C. Talbot, to inquire into the conduct of Lieut. Cooper, commanding her Majesty's gunboat Herring, and the officers and crew, in running that gunboat aground on Mickery Island, in the Firth of Forth, on May 25, 1835. The court was composed of the following officers : —Capt. Pulford (president), of H.M.S. Cumber land; Capt. M'Donald, of H.M.S. Arethusa; Capt. Keane, of the Naval Barracks ; Capt. Johnson, of Pembroke ; and Capt. Perry, of H.M.S. Griffon. Mr. Knight, of the firm of Essell, Knight, and Arnold, Admiralty solicitors, Rochester, acted as Deputy Judge-Advocate. Evidence was given by Lieut. Cooper, commanding officer of the Herring, E. Roberts, the seaman who took the soundings, Staff-Commander Brown, of H.M.S. Formidable, and W. Hardy, harbour master at Granton, Scot land, the pilot who inspected the reef on which the vessel grounded. It appeared that the gunboat was acting as tender to her Majesty's ship Trafalgar, stationed at Queensferry, and was returning from Leith to Queensferry when she accidentally struck on a reef, which was not correctly laid down in the Admiralty chart—it extending about 120 feet farther than marked. Certificates showing that Lieut. Cooper had borne a high character during a period of 17 years were read to the Court, and it was likewise stated he is a member of the Legion of Honour in France and the Turkish Order of tho Medjid. The Court found that Lieut. Cooper had committed an error in judgment in approaching the southern end of the island at an ebb tide, and admonished him to be more careful for the future ; no blame whatever was attached to the rest of tho officers or the crew. At the conclusion of the above a court-martial, consisting of the same officers, was held on Mr. F. C. Belson, acting engineer of her Majesty's ship Antelope, which arrived at Sheerness a few days since from the West Coast of Africa, for being drunk on the 30th of May last, while the ship was at Madeira, for being drunk on the 16th inst. at Sheerness, and for being incapable of performing his duty on the 16th inst. Evidence in support of the charges was given by Mr. Alfred Thomas, acting master of the Antelope, Mr. John Hide, assist.-surg., Mr. R. M. Griffith, Mr. George Stupple, and Mr. Thomas Friend. Mr. Goolden, of Bristol, acted as the pri soner's " friend." The prisoner admitted he had been drinking beer on both occasions, but was not incapable of doing his duty. Certificates of charac ter extending over a period of seven years were put into court and read. The Court considered all three charges proved, and sentenced the prisoner to forfeit all his seniority as acting engineer and to be severely reprimanded. A third court-martial, composed of the same officers, was held on Mr. Frederick Wheeler, engi neer, in charge of her Majesty's ship Antelope, for being drunk and for being incapable, on the 16th. of June, 1865, at Sheerness. The charges were proved by Acting-Master Allred Thomas, Afr. John Hide, and Mr. George Stupple. The prisoner was allowed the assistance of Mr. Goold, of Bristol, as his " friend." He denied being drunk or inca pable, but admitted he might have been a little ex- cited, in consequence of the charge made against him by the commanding officer. He called Mr. John Cleverley, the gunner of the ship, as a witness on his behalf. Certificates extending over nine years were read, giving the prisoner a good character for steadiness and sobriety. The Court found the pri- I soner "Guilty" on both charges, but, in consequence of the good character he had hitherto borne, he was dismissed with a severe reprimand. At the conclu sion of the case the Court severely reprimanded George Stupple, the quarter-master of the ship, for the prevaricating manner in which he had given his evidence. The proceedings were not brought to it close before a late hour on Thursday evening. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Sub.-Lieut. Francis R. B. Kemp to the Octavia ; Hon. Cecil J. G. Cadogan, mid shipman, to the Sphynx ; Augustus Neville nomi nated to a naval cadetship. THE EDITOR OF THE " ECONOMIST" A CANDI DATE AT MANCHESTER.—Manchester has not yet selected its candidate, the moderate and extrude Liberals being apparently unable to agree. It was reported yester day that the choice of several influential porsonshad fallen upon the man who would be perhaps of all men in England the most fitting representative for Mr. Walter Bagehot, editor of the Economist, a keen and incisive writer, a lead ing county banker, and a man of just that peculiar intellect which Manchester re quires—intellect which can keep in tellectual when dealing with commercial questions.— Spectator. THE NEW BRITISH CONSUL AT PARIS.—Mr. Falconer Atlee, now Attache, Registrar, and Libra rian to her Majesty's Embassy at Paris, will succeed Mr. Pickford as Consul at Paris, while continuing to hold his former appointments. Mr. Atlee (says the Observer) will only have his salary of £lOO a year as Consul. The fees were received by Mr. Pickford, but will henceforth be paid into the general fund for consular expenses, which is now very considerable. By this arrangement a saving to the public will be effected to that extent. AN ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY IN LONDON AND UNDER THE THAMES !—lt is probable that the plan of conveying passengers in a closed tunnel by atmospheric pressure—which, by the way, was much laughed at about thirty years since when something of the sort was pri marily proposed, with Brighton for a terminus—will be carried into effect between the Waterloo Terminus of the South-Western Railway and Whitehall, at Groat Scotland Yard. The bill for making the pneumatic railway has passed the Commons, is not opposed in the Lords, and will probably obtain the assent of the Crown. The novel line is to pass under the Thames in an iron tube, a channel for which will be dredged in the bed of the river, encased in concrete cement. At the ends of the tube so protected brickwork will take the place of concrete.—dithenaunt.
