PROSPECTUS. In issuing proposals for a further amount of capital, the Directors are strengthened by the circumstances attend ing the late expedition, in their conviction that the enter prise, though postponed for this year, is yet on the eve of success. The Great Eastern has proved herself admirably adapted to the work of laying deep-sea cables, and it has been practically shown that, in the event of the insulation being injured during submersion, the electricians are enabled to calculate minutely the exact distance of the injured spot from the ship, though it be sunk in the deepest water. It has further been proved that many miles of a cable like that selected by the Atlantic Telegraph Company can, if so injured, be hauled in and repaired during the heaviest weather, from a depth of 2,000 f a th oms; an d s till more, that even when a cable is absolutely fractured, and the broken end lies 2,000 fathoms deep at the bottom of the ocean, it is perfectly possible to find and to raise it ; and all t hose engaged i n t h e recent expedition are unanimous in the opinion that it is equally possible thus to raise the end of the Atlantic Cable which is in that situation, and to splice it to the cable on board the Great Eastern, so as to caesmplete the communication with Newfoundland, so soon apparatus of suitable strength and convenience can be manufactured. After careful consideration, therefore, the Directors have determined to p ersevere with increased vigilance an d energy inthe great work en t rusted to the i r c h arge, an d gu id e d b y the light of experience they trust to bring it to a success ful issue. They have been encouraged in this view by the fair man ner in which they have been met by the Contractors, with whom they have entered into a contract for renewed opera tions. Under this contract the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, in consideration of the sum of £500,000, which has b een agree d on as th e cos t pr i ce o f t h o cable if paid for in cash, have already commenced the ma nufacture of a new cable, to be laid down during 1866 be tween Ireland and Newfoundland. The Contractors, if the said Cable be successful, but not otherwise, are to have in Shares and cash a profit of at the rate of 20 per cent. upon the cost. The Contractors also undertake during 1866, without any further charge whatever, to go to sea with sufficient Cable, including that now left on board the Great Eastern, and all proper appliances and apparatus such as experience has shown to be necessary, and to use their best endeavours— in the success of which they express entire belief—to re cover, repair, and complete in working order between Ire land and Newfoundland the present broken Cable, which has been ascertained by recent careful electrical tests to be in perfect order throughout its entire length. It will be seen that circumstances have thus enabled the Board to effect a very considerable economy in the Com pany's present operations, for in the event of success the Company will be in possession of two efficient Cables for a considerably less amount than would have been expended if the Cable of this year had been successfully laid, and another had been purchased separately. Under these circumstances subscriptions are now invited for the sum of £600,000, in £120,000 Shares of £5 each. Applications from existing Shareholders will have priority in the allotment to the extent of 60,000 Shares, or one-half the above capital, provided their applications are received on or before the 26th inst. The remaining 60,000 Shares are offered to the general public. This new capital will not only create fresh property, but probably resuscitate the old, and the experience of the pre sent year shows that by these means the existing Eight per Cent. Preference Stock will, in all probability, be again placed at par in the market before the sailing of the ship next year. The Directors have therefore resolved at once to offer a substantial inducement to the general public as well as to the Shareholders to join them in this fresh effort. These new Shares will accordingly be entitled to take precedence as to dividend over all the other existing stock of the Company, and to participate pro rata in all subse quent dividends, bonuses, or benefits, after 8 per cent. shall have been paid upon the second Preference Stock and 4 per cent. upon the Ordinary Stock. The profits to be expected on the completion of this work can bo ascertained by any one who will take the trouble to make a small calculation, by which it will be seen that if each of th e t wo proposed Cables can be worked at the very low rate of only five words per minute upon each Cable for sixteen hours a day at five shillings per word, the traffic, after paying the dividend charges of 12, 8, and 4 per cent. respectively, amounting together to £144,000 upon the capital comprised in those different stocks, and after also paying the very largo sum of £50,000 a-year for working expenses, would leave a very largo balance for p a yi ng fu r ther dividends or bonuses on the • Company's t o t a l cap it a l , b o th ordinary and preferential, or for reserve fund if preferred. One Pound per Share, payable to either of the bankers of the Com pany, must be paid on App li ca ti on, anda.furth er sum of Thirty Shillings per Share on Allotment. Twenty-one days'notice of any further call willbe given, and no further call will be payable in less than three months from the date of the allotment. Prospectuses and Forms of Application may be had of the Secretary, at the Office of the Atlantic Telegraph Com pany, 12, St. Helen's-place, Bishopsgate-street, London ; of the Company's Bankers, viz., the Bank of England and Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co., in London; the Bank of Eng land, in Liverpool ; the Consolidated Bank, Manchester ; the British Linen Company Bank, Glasgow ; or of any re spectable broker.

Lacy, which a few days since was ordered to return stores at Portsmouth and pay out of commission there, and was subsequently ordered to re-ship.such stores as she had landed and proceed to Devonport to return stores and pay out of commission, yester day again received counter-orders, which this time direct her again to return her stores to Portsmouth yard, and pay out of commission at that port. The cause of this seeming indecision on the part of the Admiralty, we understand, is owing to a represen tation made by the authorities at Portsmouth that, owing to the great want of dock and basin accom modation for vessels of the Himalaya's length at Portsmouth yard, it would be impossible to make good her repairs and complete her re-commission at so early a date as the Admiralty wished. The Helicon, Commander Singer, and Salamis, Commander Suttie, sailed from Portsmouth yester day morning on a three days' Channel trial of steam ing. They are vessels of the same tonnage and horse-power of engines (paddles), but have different formed bows. It is understood that the arrange ments for the trial at starting were to steam 10 hours on the first day in the Channel at 10 knots; to steam the second day at 12 knots, note being taken of the consumption of fuel by each vessel's furnaces on both occasions. On the third day both vessels were to make the best of their way to Spithead, without restriction as to the rate of speed or consumption of fuel. If these conditions were carried out the chances of the first two days' trials are greatly in favour of the Helicon, as no doubt her boilers and tubes have much less deposit upon them than those of the Salamis. The sailing frigate Nankin, 50, one of the last of that class of vessels built at Chatham dockyard, and now attached to the sailing reserve squadron, will shortly be taken in hand for the purpose of being brought forward to succeed the Saturn flagship of Commodore-Superintendent W. Loring, C. 8., at Pembroke. The Prince de Joinville on Naval Affairs. The Boston Advertiser publishes a letter, dated April 28, from the Prince de Joinville to a gentle man in the United States. After referring to the death of Mr. Lincoln, and counselling a course of moderation towards the people of the South, the Prince says :—" You must be proud, sir, of the doings of your navy. With the brilliant exploit of Commodore Winslow has the tide of victory turned with you. The achievements of Mobile Bay are without parallel, and throw the greatest honour on your flag. All naval men pay a just tribute of admiration to Admiral Farragut and his brother officers and men. This war will leave your navy in a very efficient state, and with a feeling of confidence in itself which is half the success. Not so in European navies. Ours is tired and disgusted by the odious service of transports imposed upon it. The British navy, after a long period of inaction, and furnished with ships and men it has no confidence in, is not what it was formerly. Both navies continue to build sea-going broadside iron-clads of immense size and cost ; but the policy of building such expensive ships when they may be so easily sunk by a miserable torpedo is much discussed, and the tide is coming to small iron -clads, with two or four guns, monitor fashion. For long cruises, fast Unclad screw sloops, Alabama„ or rather Florida fashion, seem also to be most ap propriate. Upon all these points you have the lead.. Where everybody is still behind is in gunnery. The best English gun is the 300-pounder smooth-bore muzzle-loader Armstrong gun, built on the coil principle, and able to throw its shot with a very heavy charge of powder. The royal navy has nci good rifle gun of heavy calibre ; but I think that Mr. Blakely can turn out some very efficient one,. The French have no heavy guns, smooth bore og rifles, and have not yet succeeded to experiment successfully upon any one. The best gun we have in use is a breech-loaded rifle gun, throwing a 60- pound shot with a low charge. The gun works well, is very accurate, but of no use against iron clads. The Emperor is trying a gun of his inven tion, rifled, and made of steel inside and brass side. I have no faith in it. It is from the the U workmen shall have turned their minds the pro - wrought iron. wanted, That heavy gun is much duction of built-up guns of steel d, or since the battle o Mobile oflarge rifled des gun that w for e seae expect e c t service, soon . as your c shaken the confidence in th e has so much employmentofranis.” [ADvxßTlSEMENT.]—Consumption, and all nervous, billow.; stomach, and liver complaints, in every stage, are only age gravated and accelerated by dr ugs , of every de scr i pt i on , but per f ec ily curable by Du B arr y s h ealth restoring Revalents Arabica Food. as proved by thousands of cases which had been considered hopeless ; such as indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, as thma, consumption, habit ua l constipation, diarr hoea, a ll gastric derangements, haemorrhoids, liver com plaints, flatulency, nervousness, biliousness' fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, influenza noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities. eruptions, hysteria, neuralgia, i rr i ta b ility, sleeplessness, acidity , pal pitation, heartbu rn, h eadache, debility, dr opsy, cramps, spasms, nausea and sickness even in pregnancy or at sea, sinning fits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains in the pit of tha stomach and between the shoulders, &c.

Yesterday a meeting of the Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor in the chair. SOUTHWARK-BRIDGE. Mr. Deputy HAWTREY, the chairman of the Bridgehouse Committee, reported that the arrange ment with the Southwark -bridge Company for the temporary opening of Southwark -bridge to the public would expire on the 7th of November, and that the committee now asked for the instructions of this court as to how they were to act respecting the continuance or discontinuance of the opening of the bridge in question; in other words, they placed themselves entirely in the hands of the court, and left the question to be dealt with as the members should determine. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS moved, pursuant to notice, " That the Bridge-house Committee be re quested to ascertain the conditions on which South wark-bridge may remain open for public traffic free of toll, for a further period of 12 months, with the option of purchase, and to report forthwith to this coml." He said that the object of this motion was neither more nor less than that the arrangement come to lastyear for keeping Southwark-bridge open freeof toll should be renewed for another 12 months, t sense whatever, of übe with the opti on of purchase. H e regre tt e d t o find that there w ou ld b e some oppos iti on t o thi s p ro posal, and that a rumour was current th a t h e h a d some pecuniaryf li interest and in th S a ° t u he o w w a a rk s - o bridge. tu H ate e b d eg b g y e a d to state at on ce th at h e h a d no p ecun i ar y i n t er est in the duty in cause o f bringing th e f o rw citizensa rdth the s t u l b a j r e g c e t andespousing (Hear.) H e b e li eved that great injury had b een done to the w or ki ng m limit them to one side by the systematice o n f o the f this ha great m es . v m e h t r e o n p o the l s attempts which had been made to question of erecting the new courts of law near Temple-bar was being discussed, it was found that between 4,000 and 5,000 working men were con gregated together in that locality, and it then became apparent that, if the working classes generally were scattered over a wide area, in fact, over the whole of the metropolis on both sides of the river—great per sonal benefits to themselves would result. One way by which to effect this object was by making the bridges toll free. The frequent interruptions to the traffic in the streets furnished a very cogent reason for throwing open the bridges, for it was matter of amazement to see the number of carts, coaches, omnibuses, and waggons which were constantly waiting one after another to get over London bridge. For the six months ending the 7th of May, 1864, during which the toll was exacted at Southwark -bridge, the number of foot passengers over it was 257,616. In the subsequent six months, during which the bridge was free, the number of ve hi c les and horses was 79 , 461 for the six months t h ose p a ssengers was 2 ,359,312. The number of a nd 487,249 for the six months when a bolished. These returns showed a i prodigous tolifatthWe toll toll, was increase of traffic, and proved that the liberality manifes ted b y the Cor p oration in open ing the bridge was fully appreciated by the public. (Hear. hear.) On one day in May, 1865, the number of foot passengers crossing over London bridge 99,236, and of carriages and carts, 2,300. This again was an enormous amou n t o f traffic. He hoped that something would be done was by the government during the next session to throw open all the toll bridges across the Thames, in order to give the public facilities of communica tion between the north and south sides of the river. Mr . R. N. PHILIPPS seconded the motion, and hoped that valuable information would be obtained awing the neat year 44 to the fair and put terms The Parks of London. Rural visitors, who but casually make their way to the metropolis, have no idea of the importance attached by the thorough Londoner to all the open spaces within its vast precincts. Of late years many and various alterations and improvements have been effected in our parks. We propose to state what has been done in each case. Hyde-park, Kensington gardens, as well as the Green and St. James's-parks, are under the management of Mr. Mann, chief superintendent. Let us commence at Bayswater, whence to Whitehall there is a continuous space of broad open park land, comprising altogether nearly , 1,000 acres. Kensington-gardens originally con tained but 26 acres ; to this Queen Anne added 30 ; and, subsequently, Caroline, Queen of George 11., who also formed the Serpentine, increased their ex tent by 300, so that there are now 350 acres in the finely timbered park known as Kensington-gardens. The bridge separating these from Hyde-park was designed by Rennie, and erected in 1826. Not very long ago the only attractions to the parks were open air, and the sight of trees, grass, and one's neighbours ; but during the last eight years, in the regime of Mr. Cowper, floriculture has been added on a large and progressively increasing scale, under the able superintendence of Mr. Mann, who has found it necessary to form on the east side of Kensington-palace some acres of propagating, frame, and nursery ground. Here are a large number of frames and pits, and three houses almost exclusively devoted to rearing sub-tropical, large leafed plants, intended for out-of-door use in summer. In these gardens several fine old trees were killed or injured by the abortive water works near Bayswater-road, where a well was sunk 170 ft. into the chalk, and yet the actual supply of water for the jets d'eau has to be pumped from the Serpentine. The well, therefore, is a vir tual failure. As the old trees die, they are carefully replaced by young ones. Perhaps the American plane takes the lead of all other trees in this park for health, appearance, and rapidity of growth. These qualities are attributable to the frequent shedding of bark and the polished surface of its leaves, which are washed clean by every shower, so that from [these two causes the impurities of the London atmosphere are avoided. The coniferous trees, on the contrary, have but a small chance. The flying soot and dirt choke the resinous pores of the fir tribe and prevent their having a vigorous existence. Including shrubs, some 10,000 or 12,000 trees have been planted in these gardens within the last few years. Hyde-park derives its name from the Hyde, an old manor so called, adjoining Knightsbridge,which was, until the dissolution of religious houses, in the reign of HenryVlll., the property of the monks and abbots of Westminster. This park contains nearly 400 acres, and has undergone many alterations, ex tending over a long number of years, before it took its present shape. The Serpentine, as has been said, was formed by Queen Caroline. But, to come to recent times, many extensive improvements have been effootod Ilk Ithiinst. every portinn of the park. Since the construction of the large sewer betin,on Albert-gate and Bayswater-road the Serpentine has been free from the filth and sewage that used to flow into it. A means has also been thus afforded of draining such parts of the park as required it. Rotten-row—which is a corruption of Route du Roi, King's-drive—has been much improved recently. This road has been reformed, and soft sand laid down to ease the horses' feet. The three acres of ornamental ground opposite Apsley-house—planted with trees, shrubs, and flowers, and admitted on all hands to be a great improvement—is being con tinued down to the Serpentine, and eventually comprise some 12 acres altogether. This work will probably be completed by next April. During the summer, just passed, several hundred yards of fine horse ride have been made from the Magazine Barracks to Victoria-gate, and will no doubt be fully appreciated by equestrians next season. On its southern side, where the dingy cavalry barracks formerly stood, near the Queen's gate, handsome pleasure grounds have been laid out, and groups of choice shrubs and flowering plants have been tastefully interspersed with grass and gravel walks. The ground between Queen's-gate and Prince's-gate has also been laid out, and planted with ornamental trees. No fair fault can be found with the culture of trees or flowers in this, or, in deed, in any of our parks. But the liberty and the number of their frequenters are so great that, until they are brought within the limits allowed to the people in any other country, it will continue to be impossible for the chief managers of our most crowded parks to prevent the large spaces of grass in their interior from presenting a " neglected, squalid, and unseemly appearance." No one feels this more than the superintendents and gardeners. There are now eight entrances into this park for carriages, at each of which a gatekeeper is stationed, besides many other entrances for foot-passengers. The Serpentine covers a bed of about 32 acres in extent. It is much frequented by bathers in the summer months. The herbage is depastured by sheep, by which the grass is kept low and close, for the public to walk upon. In all the parks it is let by contract to butchers. The boats on the Serpen tine, as on the waters of the other parks, are hired out by a private person, at the rate of ls. per hour. Many of the public will be glad to learn that first class geraniums, calceolarias, verbenas, heliotropes, &c., can be now had from Mr. Mann for the ask ing. They will be carefully taken up, so as to be easily utilised by those who understa nd floriculture. It is necessary to remove them, as they must be substituted by spring-flowering plants, such as tulips, hyacinths,:crozus, snowdrops, heartsease, &e. The public are greatly indebted to Mr. Cowper for the beautiful promenade which now extends from the Marble-arch, parallel with Park-lane, to Hyde Park-corner. When its construction was decided on plans were submitted to Mr. Nesfield, which, being approved, Mr. Mann prepared the ground in the most perfect =finer for the reception of plants, by deep trenching and manuring. And, notwithstanding the numerous obstacles presented by our London atmosphere, he has succeeded in producing a constant luxuriance of bloom, such as is not generally equalled. The grouping and contrasting of colours and plants in the beds is usually skilful and artistic. Every one has ad mired the borders between Stanhope and Gros venor-gates. Queen Emma happily described them as being a rainbow of flowers, and said they were the prettiest sight she had seen in London. This almost rural retreat, which can be reached in a few minutes from the roar and flurry of two of London's most frequented thoroughfares, is an indescribable boon to the strained and hardworked—whether mentally or physically—dwellers in modern Babylon. These gardens will continue to be planted each sea son with successions of choice flowers. An Italian garden has been formed in the old water reservoirs, on the opposite side of the carriage drive. This is likewise brilliantly decorated with flower-beds en- PRICE 4d., STAMPED sd.' circling a marble group in the centre, which is turned into practical use as a drinking fountain. The triple archway by Apsley-house was, with the iron screen, erected in 1828 from designs by Mr. Decimus Bur ton. It cost upwards of £17,000, including £l,OOO to Mr. Herring for the bas relief from the Elgin marbles which surround it. As to the Green-park, the traffic between Char ing-cross and Victoria Station has become so great that no one could ride on horseback with safety be : tween Buckingham Palace and Stable-yard-gate. An equestrian road between these two points, there fore, became a necessity, and it has been made by putting the railings further back into the Green-park and forming a ride like B.otcen-row—as we stated some weeks since. There is a side bridle-path from the Palace to Storey's-gate, and Constitution-hill is so nearly akin to a private road that one can ride there in peace and safety. So that those who know the ground will understand, from what has been said, that the equestrian can now make his way in comfort from the clubs and Houses of Parliament to Hyde-park. In St. James's-park the ornamental water is drained off annually, when the leaves have ceased to fall ; and its concrete bed is then swept clean. Twenty years ago there was always verdant turf in this park, but of late years it has been so infested by crowds of filthy and disreputable characters that it has no chance. Thieves, beggars, and their followings lie about there in indecent heaps, and positively so fill the very grass and seats with vermin that the park is not a fit resort for the wives and children of decent artisans—and this before the, windows of the Royal Palace. Our authorities are too lenient in many trifles. The parks are intended for the health and recreation of the respectable members of the public, to whatever rank they may belong ; they should not be made out-of door supplements to the casual wards of poor houses. It may be as well here to repeat a suggestion which has often been made, and which applies to all the parks'—viz., that there should be in constant action throughout the summer a system of irrigation with hose—on some such plan as Mr. Mechi's—car ried out early in the morning and late in the even ing, so that each park might be watered twice or thrice a week. The effect on the luxuriance of the verdure under foot and on the health of trees and flowers would in one season surprise a mere towns man. And also, if this irrigation were done at judiciously-chosen hours, it would tend to lessen the needless walking by the edges of the footways or walks so persistently indulged in by people crossing the parks. The paths are now straight and well kept enough to render this grass annihilation quite unnecessary. One more suggestion may be added and must suffice for this notice—if this system of irrigation were adopted, any bare spot or path could be made green again in a few days by simply raking the surface and sowing fresh grass seed as often as required. Naval and Military Intelligence. Yesterday morning the troops stationed in and around Portsmouth paraded on Southsea-common in heavy marching order, in accordance with pre vious arrangements, for inspection and review by . the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., General Command ing-in-Chief of her Majesty's Army, now engaged upon his annual inspection for the present year of Portsmouth and the south-west military district. The troops were drawn up in three brigades in line of contiguous columns by 9 a.m., comprising two batteries of field artillery of the 9th Brigade, Capt. T. E. Byrne, 12 guns (12 -pounder breech-loaders), 190 officers and men, and 170 horses ; 6th Brigade of Royal (Garrison) Artillery, Colonel W. Elliot, 384 officers and men ; 12th Brigade of Royal (Garrison) Artillery, Capt. and Adjt. F. Downer, 371 officers and men ; one company of Royal Engineers, Major G. D. Pritchard, 69 officers and men; Royal Marine Artillery, Col. Comman dant Tate, 600 officers and men ; Royal Marine Light Infantry, Col. Commandant W. H. Marsh, 560 officers and men ; 14th Regiment of Infantry, Lieut.-Col. Budd, 656 officers and men ; 52d Regi . ment, Lieut.-Col. A. J. Peel, 641 officers and men ; 75th Regiment, Lieut.-Col. C. E. P. Gordon, 534 officers and men ; 81st Regiment, Col. R. Renny, 652 officers and men ; 87th Regiment, Lieut.-Col. Murray, 440 officers and men. The total number of all ranks on parade was 5,100, with 12 guns. Sir George Buller, K.C.8., was in command of the force, and was attended by his staff, Col. Alison, Deputy Adjutant-General ; Col. Shadwell, Deputy Quartermaster-General; Major M'Kenzie, R.A., and Captain Glyn, Rifle Brigade, Aides-de-Camp. About 10 a.in. the Duke arrived in frbnt of the line of troops, accompanied by Major-Gen. W. F. For ster, Military Secretary ; Col. G. Gambier, Adju tant-General Royal Artillery ; Col. Hon. J. W. B. Macdonald, C. 8., and Col. S. H. Clifton, Aides-de- Camp, and was received with a Royal salute, colours being lowered. This preliminary ceremony over, the Duke made an inspection of the troops along the front and rear of their line of formation. He then galloped over to the saluting point to witness marching past. Breaking into open column right in front, the force marched past—first, in grand divisions, succeeded by the field batteries at a trot, and afterwards in three brigades of open columns. A display of field manoeuvres followed, which lasted until past noon, exhibiting all the incidents of a battle that might be fought on so confined a space as Southsea-common by a covering army of Ports mouth (which Sir G. Buller's force represented) of infantry and artillery alone, with an enemy possess ing cavalry, who had effected a landing with part of his force, and was attempting to form a junction of the whole by landing the remainder. The ac tion ended with driving the enemy back into the sea, as was the duty of Sir George Buller and his veterans. This being satisfactorily accom plished, the troops were reformed in column I l on their original alignment, advanced in review ' order at slow time, and gave a Royal salute, which closed the proceedings.

Yesterday Major-General Sir Robert Walpole, K.C.B. ,commanding the Chatham district, resumed his half-yearly inspection of the Royal Artillery forces under his command by the inspection of the first division of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, quartered at Sheerness, under the command of Col. J. B. Riddell, C. 8., commandant of the garrison. Sir Robert Walpole, who was accompanied by Brigade-Major W. Congreve, on arriving at the garrison was received by the heads of departments, and commenced his inspection by making a tour of the Government quarters, buildings, and o ther de partments. the w This completed, he proceededltr e the ie parade-ground at the Half-moon battery, whole of the officers and men were drawn up in review order, under the comm and of Lieut.-Col.

The remainder of the day was devoted to an inspection of the batteries at their gun drill, and an examination of the battery, Armstrong, and other guns. Before quitting the garrison Major- General Sir Robert Walpole visited the military hospital, and made particular inquiries into the recent accident from the sudden bursting of one of the 110-pounder Armstrong shells while the troops were at practice, when it was ascertained that the NEW BOY'S BOOK BY MR.
