OFFICES. 85, Bucklersbury, London, E.O. The Assam Company, the first established for the culti vation of tea in India, being desirous of concentrating and confining their operations to the Southern Division of Upper Assam, and thus centralising the management of their extensive properties, have determined on selling it to the -Northern Assam Tea Company (Limited), whose estates are contiguous, the whole of the northern and eas tern division of their property , in Assam, instead of adopt ing the alternative of promoting a new company to carry them on, or placing them under separate management. The present extension of capital, therefore, is for the purpose of purchasing direct from the Assam Company the whole of their outlying estates in the neighbourhood of the Tingrie and Deehing rivers in Upper Assam, forming their northern and eastern division, and consisting of the following gardens : The Tingrie Mookh, Hoogrie Jaun, Kehung, Naholia, Cato, Tippum, Hookan Joorie, Towrock. These comprise some of the fine old indigenous gardens, respecting which so much has been .written, and which only require opening out to insure their profitable exten sion. They are at present producing the finest tea and tea seed in Assam—the latter in sufficient quantity to enable the purchasers to plant out any extent of new land with out further cost on this head. The area at present under cultivation is about 1,000 acre, of which over 500 are in full bearing. The Gardens are surrounded by lands for which grants have been ob tained to the extent of 10,000 acres, all of which is very superior and suitable for the growth of tea. The Assani Company's right to the whole of this pro perty, together with all buildings, plant, implements, tools, boats, and live stock, will bo handed over to the Northern Assam Tea Company for the sum of £lOO,OOO, to be paid as follows :- Bth June, 1865 15th July, 15th August, „ 15th November, „ £lOO,OOO The crop of tea of this season, and any further grants of land that the superintendent or agents of the Assam Com pany may have acquired up to the date of completion of this sale, together with all cultivation commenced during the current season, commencing Ist November, 1064, has also been contracted to be transferred to this Company, on payment of the sums actually disbursed since that date. No commissions or promotion money have been paid or allowed. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to shareholders in the Northern Assam Tea Company and the Assam Company. The Assam Company in 1863 disposed of their outlying estates in the district of Cachar, fer the purchase of which a company was formed in Calcutta, called " The Central Cachar Company," the shares of which company are readily saleable at 25 per cent. premium. Those of the Assam Company are at above 150 per cent. premium. The success of tea-growing in Assam is now thoroughly established. Indian teas are rapidly increasing in favour and value, owing to their great strength and pungency. Further, it may be stated, that the recent reduction of the duty has already caused a considerable advance in prices here, and the supply is still inadequate to the demand. In reference to the quality and capabilities of the lands proposed to be purchased, the following extracts are taken from the last reports : The Resident Secretary in India of the Assam Company, in his report on the property contracted for, says : " The lands in this part of the province are the finest for tea cultivation in Assam. The soil is not only the very best, but the forests contain the most splendid timber, inex haustible in extent, which is not the case in the Southern Division. It needs no foresight to predict -that the pro perty the Company holds in this part of the country may be made within the next ten years equal, if not superior, to that which they will be in possession of at that time in the Southern Division." The following are also extracts from a report made to the Directors of the Assam Company by their Chief Superin tendent in January last, when he visited the property : " That the land is first-rate there is no question or doubt, but to effect such an object (that is, work it to full advan tage) it must be divided into a distinct field, and the management given to the person residing on the spot. " I have now got the De p ut y Commissioner to accept three applications near Tingrie, for probably an area of about 7,000 acres, including the land between Tingrie, Hoogrie Jaun, and Kehung, along the banks of the Tingrie river ; and this, with what we have already secured in other quarters between the Deehing and the Tingrie, will bring the Company's holding up to at least 10,000 or 12,000 acres ; and I would recommend the extending in this quar ter for the reason, that the land is very superior, and the position likely to be much more healthy . than any other portion The prey Northern and Eastern Division. " The . present gardens, if worked up to their capabilities, would yield 2,000 maunds of tea. , 4 The plants in the nurseries, which were put down last year for the purpose of planting out, have come up very well, some of them 18 inches and others 2 feet high." The estates have been frequently visited by the Manag ing directors of the Northern Assam Tea Company during the last 13 years, and as lately as March last. He fully confirms the favourable views above expressed, and is of opinion that with comparatively small outlay the indi genous plants alone can be worked up to an annual yield of 4,000 to 5,000 chests of tea. Since the contract for the purchase has been concluded, the Assam Company have received from their Managing Director in India., and from a large Shareholder in both Companies now visiting Assam, valuations of the property greatly m excess of the price agreed to be paid. On the above grounds, therefore, the acquisition of these estates will render the Northern Assam Tea Company one of the most influential and profitable in India. Application for shares to be made on the annexed Form on or before Wednesday, the 31st May, on which date the list will be closed. London, 23d May, 1865. No. APPLICATION FOR B SHARES.

But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl. t above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks an 1 Quackery." and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelatione 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, by consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." .Its contents will astonish and amuse you, while they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint ance is large.

Yesterday his Royal highness the Prince of Wales paid a long visit to the Great Eastern to inspect the arrangements made for stowing and paying out this gigantic submarine telegraph, all the details con nected with which are now fast approaching their final completion prior to the departure of the expe dition. The visit, considering the importance of its nature and the real interest of the occasion, was unusually private, only a few friends of his Royal highness being present in addition to those scien tific gentlemen who aro more or less connected with the great undertaking, either as its original pro moters, or as those who have given towards its completion all the care and skill which the highest electrical and mechanical science has enabled them to place at the disposal of the company. Beyond these visitors none were present, either at the de parture of the train or on board the Great Eastern. His Royal Highness arrived privately at the Charing-cross Station at twelve o'clock, where he was received by the Dukes of Manchester and Sutherland, with Viscount Sidney and Lord Alfred Paget. Mr. Eborall, as manager of the South- Eastern, was also in attendance. The Prince was accompanied by his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, and attended by Colonel Keppel. The other visitors present included Lord Suffield, Lord Lyons, Viscount Torrington, the Hon. Mr. Cartier, the Hon. Mr. Brown, the Hon. Mr. Mac donald, the Hon. Mr. Galt, the Right Hon. Stuart Wortley, Mr. D. Gooch, Mr. J. Pender, M.P., Mr. S. Gurney, M.P., Mr. J. Smith, Mr. G. Elliot, Mr. A. S. Finlay, Mr. W. H. Russell, Mr. C. Edwards, Mr. W. H.

Barnes, Mr. E. Noden, Mr. Willoughby Smith, &c. The train left soon after 12, and on arriving at Chatham the party at once embarked on board Ad miral Talbot's steam tender Wildfire, a vessel which seemed difficult to steer, and still more difficult to steam, and which made such slow progress that his Royal Highness was glad on the return voyage to avail himself of the offer of Mr. Eborall, who placed; at his disposal ono of the company's steamers, the. City of Rochester, without the aid of which it would have been impossible to keep railway time, or in deed any time at all. 32 subs.

Page 4 At 2 the Great Eastern was sighted, lying moored at the mouth of the river off Sheerness, and her gigantic form at once attracted all atten tion. Some years have passed since this magnifi cent vessel filled the great place in the world's at tion which it is to be hoped she will now soon occupy again. The lapse of time and the exigencies of cable-shipping have by no means improved her ex ternal appearance, but she still sits the water as gracefully as ever, and it is impossible to imagine any more suggestive contrast than was afforded by the appearance of the craft which lay alongside her yesterday as the Royal party approached. Close under her sponson beam aft lay a small yellow, heavy bowed, ill-shapen thing, " dwarfed to a cock boat" by the juxtaposition, and which might have been mistaken for a lighter had it not been known that this was a 26-gun frigate of 20 years ago, one of the crack vessels of the navy in those days, A barge alongside looked like a mere float, while on the stavboard quarter two tall colliers showed little more than their mastheads ahovc tho htilwnrlra of the great ship. The Great Eastern, though not I nearly so low in the water as she has yet to be, brought before starting on her great trip, still in outward shape looks as well as on the first memor able day she left the Thames. On deck, however, a great change was visible. The after-masts have been stripped of their yards, and the broad expanse of deck is neither so white nor by many feet so broad as it used to be, for little villages of carpenters' shops and hamlets of forges have overspread it, and Sheds, offices, and overseers' houses perhaps, cumber it from stem to stern. His Royal Highness made no inspec tion of the vessel on his first arrival, but with the other visitors proceeded to lunch while all was being got ready for his examination. The d6eilner was laid in the state or ladies' saloon, that which was so fearfully devastated on the memorable Friday after noon when the Great Eastern blew up off Hastings. To this repast all the visitors sat down, Mr. Pender, M.P., chairman of the Telegraph Construction Com pany, taking the chair. No speeches were made, and the only toast given was that of her Majesty, which was drunk with enthusiasm. His Royal Highness then returned upon deck and made a careful exami nation of the vessel, of the way in which the cable is received on board, the manner in which it is stowed, how it was proposed to pay it out, &c., and in fact inquired into all the details connected with the expedition. So many accounts of the progress of this great work have already appeared in the columns of The Sun that on this occasion it will not be neces sary to enter into detail. A mere summary will suffice here. Betting-6 to 4on The Count, 7to 4 agst Bradamanto, 20 to 1 offered agst any other. Jassy made play, followed by Seven-and-a-Half and Tho Count, Bradamante lying off till they came to the straight.

DECIDING HEAT.-6 to' 5 onaradamante. The Count was allowed to make running with a lead of three or f uui lengths, till they came into the straight, when Bradamante gradually drew up, closed with him at the distance, and won in a miter by a length and a half.

The central conductor is composed of seven fine copper wires, twisted into one complete strand, which is insulated with Chatterton's patent compound. Outside this come four distinct layers of gutta percha, each also insulated with the same material that encloses the conductor. Outside the gutta percha again are wound 11 stout iron wires, each of which, before being twisted on, is itself care fully wound round with strands of hemp, soaked with tar. Thus, then, there are no less than 25,000 miles of copper wire in the conductor, about 35,000 miles of iron wire in the outside covering, and up wards of 400,000 miles of strands of hemp, more than enough in all to go 24 times round the world. The cable has been made on an average at the rate of 17 miles per day complete, and some days its out side covering of hemp and iron has been overlaid at the rate of 173 miles a day, though not a fathom or a foot has been manufactured without every part being kept under constant test for " conductivity" and insulation, and to this hour it is as regularly 1 tested as it was a year ago, when the first mile was twisted. In strength the cable is equal to bearing a strain of 7i tons, while its specific gravity is so low that it can with safety be depended on to sup port n miles of its length in water. It has been made mile by mile, joined up in long lengths of 700 and 800 miles, and shipped on board the Great Eastern into three enormous tanks. The first of these wrought-iron structures, which look little gaso meters, is in the forward part of the ship, and is 51ft. in diameter ; that in the midships over the boilers 58ft. Gin., and that in the afterpart 5Sf t. The first will hold a coil of 630 miles of cable, the second one of 840, and the third of 830. 500 miles have still to be stowed away on board, and it will take a fortnight to complete this work, though the last mile of the coil will oome through the machines of tho telegraph works at 3 o'clock on Monday next. All three tanks are kept filled with water, and when each is stowed with cable as well, the ends of the wire will be joined up and a constant system of sig nals kept through every part from the moment the expedition starts till the whole cable is laid. The tanks themselves, with water and their contents of cable, weigh in all upwards of 5,000 tons. Great care has therefore been used in shoring them up from be neath the main deck and down by a succession of powerful supports to the very keelson. Some idea of the massiveness with which this part of the work has been effected may be derived from the fact that in the cohstruction of these cross-beams, struts, and SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.

Tho second day of this meeting fully sustained its cha- , racter, and although the list of sport was shorn of tho attraction of the Somersetshire Stakes, the Beaufort Cup (a new race which has been instituted since last year), together with six other events, made up an excellent card. The attendance was again equal to, if not in excess of, previous years, and the weather could not have been more beautiful. The Grand Stand was graced with a large and aristocratic company, and the enclosure was the scene of speculation of the most lively character. Anticipated movements anent the Derby were produced upon assem bling in the ring, when repeated offers to back Chattanooga ended in 20 to 1 being taken about the "reported roarer," about whom as much as 50 to 1 was laid overnight. The current statement circulated by the followers of Mr. Naylor's horse was that ho had been Victorious in a trial on Tuesday. Racing commenced with a Selling Plate, and of the five runners the Cotytto colt was made favourite ; but the bookmakers had the best of it, Sylph, little fancied, winning cleverly, and she subsequently netted 75 guineas to the fund by her sale. The Weston Stakes was contested by 14 runners, but though the followers of the stable were content to take as little as 6 to 4 about Student upon the numbers going up, ho retired to 3 to 1 before the flag fell, the Doralico colt finishing first favourite. Tho winner, Vespasian, who was little 'fancied, did the fielders a good turn by the second time landing Mr. Craven's colours. Jem Goater followed up his luck by winning the Bath Handicap, Donnybrook cutting down his eight opponents. very cleverly. The Beaufort Cup was the event of the day ; the vase, which was exhibited in the front of the stand, is a peculiarly chaste ono, the bas-reliefs on either side representing Henry V. leading a cavalry charge, and perhaps may be said to be one of the most elegant ever manufactured by Messrs. R. and S. Garrard, of London. Cambuscan, the conqueror of General Peel, was a hot favourite, and the race created great excitement ; but Lord Stamford's splendid horse had to strike his colours to Ely, who outlasted him, and won in a canter by four lengths. In the Badminton Stakes Ozone, about whom 25 to 1 was offered, did the fielders another good turn by defeating the flyers Cranbury and Hesper, and the Dyr ham Park Handicap was another blow to the gentlemen, who laid odds on The Count, who, after running a dead heat with Bradamante, was defeated by the latter in the deciding heat. The meeting proved the most successful ever held at Lansdown, and to Mr. Reynolds, the inde fatigable secretary, groat credit is due for the general management. The cards, an important feature to race goers, were accurately and correctly printed by Messrs. Dawson. Appended will be found full particulars of the day's running :7-.

The Derby betting at the Subscription Rooms this day was remarkable for the resuscitation of Chatanooga, who, owing to a highly favourable trial this morning, advanced to 100 to 7 (taken freely). Opening at 30 to 1, Chattanooga was backed at various prices to win several thousands of pounds, and, as ho is a "nobbled" horse, Mr. Naylor's re presentative is likely to become a warm favourite before the start. Breadalbano was also in steady demand, 7 to 1 being scarcely obtainable against him at the finish. Longdown declined to 25 to 1 (offered), and The Duko bad no backers at less than 100 to 8.

Last night, about half-past 7 o'clock, much alarm was caused in the neighbourhood of Bishopsgate-street, by a terrific crash, which shook tho buildings adjacent to the spot where it occurred. soon afterwards, however, it was discovered that the noise was caused by the falling of a largo portion of the iron work, forming the semicircular arches and girder supports of the new double roofing, in course of erection at tho new station for the North Lon don Railway at Liverpool-street, a capacious structure, of immense strength and solidity as to its foundation and ele vation. The span of the roofing is very great, and hence it was divided by the architect into two parts, the arches springing from the side walls to the centre throughout its entire length. Prom the hasty inquiries instituted by our reporter, shortly after the occurrence, it appears that several portions of the massive iron net-work had been placed in situ safely, but whilst the workmen were engaged in raising other portions of the work, through some cause or other, at present not satisfactorily ascertained, the powerful " derrick" used for fastening the iron arches slipped, bringing down the framework and pulling with it other arches to the ground, but within the walls of the erection, which, it is stated, have been in no degree injured or shaken by the shock. At the time of the unfortu nate occurrence a largo body of men were em ployed either upon the roofing or engaged under neath in their hazardous occupation of raising :the remaining part of the girder work ; and we regret to say that several have boon seriously injured—one, it is feared, mortally. Ho, with throe others, were at once taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, whore they now lie in a precarious state ; and Mr. Borlaso Childs, being early on the spot, gave to them his professional assistance. Considering the largo number employed at the time the wonder is that the calamity was not far more serious than it appc. , ors to be at present.

Every part of the tanks thelnieli,fWlg6 is braced with wrought iron tie-rods to ate Bidets of ti the ship. In fact, unless the vessel meets with such a heavy sea as would break her back, there seems to be no possibility of danger arising from the stowage of the cable. The mere cable, however, is but an item in the mass of heavy weights the Great Eastern will have to carry on this occasion. Her draught of water will be rather over than under 30ft., and, all told, her weights, when starting from Valentin, will come near the stupendous mass of 18,000 JOBS. They are al], however, stowed high, and so placed throughout from end to end as to counteract as much as it can be encountered the Great Eastern's un pleasant tendency to roll in a beam sea. The first part of the ship to which his itoyal iligh ness paid a visit was to where the cable was being wound inboard from the little frigate alongside. From this point, where nothing new or more un usual was to be seen than on board any vessel taking in a heavy hawser, the visitors passed to where the centre coil was being wound away. Here there was nothing more to see, nor nothing less, than when the cable will be really sunk in the depths of the Atlantic. here was the same order, the same silence, and, we might add, the same unpleasant heat and gloom as reigned in the hold of the Agamemnon when, fathom by fathom and mile by mile, the first wire was successfully laid across the ocean. The only difference was that on this occasion the cable was coming slowly down through the hole in the desk and was being stowed away by the men and pressed carefully down in regular circles, instead of as when " paying out ;" the rope rises with the same speed, and the men have only to watch that one portion does not stick to and lift another, and make a " kink" that would be as fatal, if it once occurred, to the " conductivity" of the cable as if it were broken. From the midship coil his Royal Highness went to see the manner in which the great weight of the foremast mass of cable was supported and shored up from underneath. A message was then sent through one of bile coils, which represented in its length the distance from the Great Eastern to Valentia. The signals transmitted were only four words, " God save the Queen," yet they were re ceived at the other end of the coil in the course of a few seconds, a speed which speaks as highly for the " conductivity" and insulation of the cable as it does for the commercial prospects of the company, • if they can only maintain the same high rate of signalling throughout the wire for any length of time. A section drawing of the Great Eastern was laid before the Prince showing the position of the coals in regard to the structure of the ship, the place 'here the paying-out machines were to be fixed, and the drawings of the machines themselves. The latter will be of the lightest possible construction consistent with great strength. They are being made entirely of wrought iron. A reserve drum is attached to the machine in case of anything occurring to that which has to bear all the heat and burden of the work. The breaks are similar to those invented by Mr. Appold for use during the memorable trip of the Agamemnon. The paying-out machine itself moves easily with a strain of 2201 b, and it is intended to keep It working by means of an endless band turned by machinery for at least a fortnight before th© de parture of the expedition, in order to test, not only the rate at which the cable can be run safely out, but the strain to which it can be subjected in the machine. The dynamometer for testing the strain is to bo of the same kind as those which have of late been almost exclusively used in the sub marine work. It was during the course of his long inspection of the vessel that most of these particu lars were explained to his Royal Highness, either by Captain Anderson, or some one among the many scientific gentlemen to whom the different branches of the great enterprise have been intrusted. Among other things, it was stated that the shore ends were to be sent round in different vessels, the end required for Valentia being about 25 miles long, that for Newfoundland only 10, the length being in proportion to the depth of the water, which off Newfoundland is as shallow and still as that off the west coast of Ireland is deep and stormy. These shore ends are the strongest and heaviest ever made, weighing no less than 18 tons per mile. According to present arrangements it is believed that the Great Eastern will start in the_very early part of July, and certainly, if possible, not later than the 10th. With her will also sail her Majesty's ship Terrible, and another paddle steam frigate of great power, not yet chosen, but which, like the Terrible, will give towing aid to the Great Eastern in case of mishaps to her machinery, either screw or paddle. Every care has been taken to get these engines into the highest state of good working order, but it can- not be denied that the very possibility of their break ing down is looked upon with something like anxiety. They will certainly not be overtasked, as it is in tended, if possible, not to let the vessel go beyond a speed of six knots, a minimum of velocity which it will be difficult to keep to if steerage way is wanted quickly, and which will, we think, be found abso lutely impossible to retain in a seaway. On this occasion, however, the middle of July is chosen as being thought even more favourable in point of weather than the middle of June, when the last Agamemnon cruise was commenced. Cap tain Anderson, we believe, is in favour of starting towards the early part of July, and his long experience in command of the China has very properly induced the directors to give every weight to his opinion. In addition to Capt. Anderson, all the officers connected with the ship, with the exception of the chief engineer, have been chosen from the Cunard service. With ordi narily fair weather, and steaming at tho rate of six knots, it is expected that the voyage from Valentia to the Bay of Heart's Content in Newfoundland will occupy from 12 to 14 days, during every hour of which regular communication will be kept up with England. After the Prince had visited every part of the ship, and accepted specimen pieces of portions of the cable in various stages of manufacture, his Royal High ness returned on board the boat which had been placed at his disposal by Mr. Eborall, and at once returned to Stroud. From Stroud to London the distance was accomplished within an hour, and at Charing-cross Station the Prince drove away as quietly as he came, and the party separated after a most pleasant and interesting day. The Malta-Alexandria Telegraph. MALTA, May 1). The screw steamer Fanny Lambert arrived on the 15th, with Mr. Temple, engineer, Mr. Saunders, electrician, Mr. Gibson, Government inspector, and a staff of the Telegraph Oonstruction and Maintenance Company, after completely restoring the communication to Alexandria. We understand that the line is now in perfect working order, and that no less than six separate fractures, caused by friction and abrasion on the rocks Whore the cable had crossed thoso patches which exist along every coast, have been repaired, and a much larger cable substituted, pro tected by thick wires. Where the small cable was recovered from deep water— owniscatiet Was as perfectas rit - wasmuch do w st h ro e y n e fi d rs ; o but ve n scarcelyr lOsohf shallow l t l h o first submerged, thisbmer e g tm ed, create surprise when it is remembered that it was gina y designed for laying between Falmouth and Gibral tar, in from 100 to GOO fathoms depth of water; but, owing to the exigencies of the public service, it was laid along a shore where the depth varies from 20 to 200 fathoms, with a very irregular and in many places rocky bottom, totally unsuited for so small a cable ; and until all these places are renewed by a larger cable it will bo liable to interruption. We hear that the Telegraph Construction Company aro about to make very extensive renewals on this line, and to extend it down tho Red Sea by Aden to Bombay, so as to give direct telegraphic communication with India, and with a view of ultimately carrying it to China and Australia. Had the telegraph been working during the late catton crisis in Alexandria, it might have prevented some of tho commercial failures which have taken place there, and we hope that it will be placed upon as permanent a basis as possible without any unnecessary delay. ' The repairing steamer has been on the c oast since early in January, when the lino broke down--over four months, during the worst winter wo have had in the Mediterranean for many years—and wounderstand that she has only been able to work at the cable 28 days. She left England on the 17th, and a more suitable and powerful vessel is to be sent out in the autumn.
