This Company is formed for the purpose of "supplying what has now become an object of first-rate commercial importance—viz., a oheap communication, by Electric Telegraph, between London, Li verpool, and Manchester, and an uninterrupted connexion, by means of the Submarine Telegraph, between those places and the Continent of Europe. it is proposed to construct one main line of Electric Telegraphs from Dover to London and Liverpool, connecting Manchester and Birmingham, which will unite with the existing Submarine Tele graph to France, and with that which is about to be laid down to Belgium, under concessions from the French, Belgian, and other foreign Governments, which secure en exclusive and direct corre spondence with the te l egraphic systems of the Continent, extending 'at the present year over 10,000 miles. These lines will be laid underground, under the powers of the Act of Parliament, according to the most approved modern system, by which the Telegraph will be secured from interruption by atmos pheric or other causes. and the Company guaranteed against all cost of maintenance for ten years. A sufficient number of wires will be provided to enable the Company to carry on a large business at low rates, which affords the surest source of profit in an undertaking where increase of traffic is not attended by any corresponding in crease of working expense. Responsible contractors have guaranteed to lay down the entire l ines in question, extending over about 300 miles, complete in every respect, and including all preliminary and Parliamentary ex ?elms, purchase of patent rights, &c., and also to ensure the main tenance and satisfactory working of the lines for ten years after their c ompletion, for the sum of 112,0001. liaelewhole expense of the undertaking being thus defined, no they - ea , . be incurred beyond the amount called on the Shares, a 4 Dreetora well under take no new lines, and enter into no further ' The L h APlernents, without the consent of the ?min:eters. capital in gt r of 3/.

Never, perhaps, was there a financial statement looked forward to with greater interest, we may almost say more intense anxiety, than that which is announced for to-morrow evening. On it will mainly depend the future position of parties in this country. The really independent electors, those who ree not the mere serfs of some aristceratic patrons, or who have not surrendered themselves to even more cor rupt and degrading influences, will naturally decide in accordance with the views then enunciated. The just and !wintery principle of " measures not men" is now very generally recognised, and valuable boons will not be rejected because they are tendered for acceptance by men who have not hitherto ar rayed themselves on the popular side. There is no reason why any proposition of Mr. DISRAELI'S, if desirable per se, should be less acceptable than if it emanated from Sir Criaam - es WOOD. There could not by any possibility be found, either in or out of the House, a greater stickler for ancient abuses, a more inveterate opponent of all improvement, than the Right Honourable Baronet sh owed himself to be, during the five' or six years that; he mismsnaged the national finances; so far as he wos concerned, any change must necessarily be for the better. It would be difficult, indeed, to produce :more melancholy ex amples of fiscal imbecility thvee the " brick-dust Budget" or the " precious Budget," notwithstanding the numerous alterations and emendations to which they were subjected during their progress through Parliament. With Mr. DISR.A.I.LI, however, the case is different. Ha mol be mistataken, but he cannot be contemptible. His propositions may be objectionable, . but they will not excite the unmitigated scorn of friends as wall as foes. Should he Whig forward anything opposed to the w 7 shes of the people he will be steadfastly cnd resolutely op posed. Ha may bring defeat, but he will not bring shsm a and disgrace upon his collefigues. It is by no means improbable that every notion of a b read -tax i n an y s h a p e or f orm .01 be definitively abandoaed. The Right Honourable.

In August, 1851, the promoters of the Submarine Telegraph formed themselves into a French Company (Societe en Comman dite), and established telegraphic communication between Dover and Calais. On the 13th November last the telegraph was opened to the public, since which time it has worked without the slightest irregularity or interruption. A Submarine Telegraphic communication having been thus suc cessfully proved, the promoters consider that the time has now ar rived to invite tae public to ca-operate with them in developing the resources, and extending the advantages of this important under taking. The following brief statement will show the actual position and prospects of the Submarine Telegraph:— A royal charter of incorporation was obtained in 1851, bat it has been determined to surrender the same for one of more extended powers, enabling the Company to establish a Submarine Telegraphic Communication with al parts of the Continent of Europe. The draft of this charter is now before the Board of Trade, and it is believed that it will 1 3 finally granted at the next PAvy Council. The capital of the French Company consists of 75,000 shares of 1/. each. It is proposed to surrender these shares for shares or a corres ponding value in the Company now forming under the aforesaid extended Royal Charter. An exclusive concession has also been obtained from the Belgian Government, and important privileges from other foreign Govern ments. The Charter of Incorporation will unite these different conces sions and privileges, tbus secui:ng to this Company the exclusive right of telegraphic communication between Great Britain and the Continent. The.receipts of the Submarine Telegraph have never been less than 5 per cent., allhou fa it has been severely cramped in its operations in consequence of its present po s ition, forming, as it does, orly one Yak in the che:n of continental communication ; but, after allowing an outs:de margin for works and expenses, and for laying down a distiect and most complete line from Dover to London, the rearm during the past month have been at the rate of 71. Its. 33. per cent. In order to provide for the daily increase of business, and to secure the telegraphic communication with the Continent against any risk of interruption, it is proposed to lay down a second cable between France and Engiar d, and also one between Dover and Ostend, which will gave 16 TeP:graphic lines of communication belween Great Britain and the Continent, and empty supply the various lines of Fr: nee, Belgium, Holland, and Germany. Responsible parties have under taken to lay down these lines w:th a sufficient number of wires for any amount of traffic that can be anticipated, for the sum of 70,0001., to include all patent rights, and all preliminary and o'her expenses incidental to the Belgian and other concessions, which will become vested in this Company. The Charter will authorise the raising of a capital of 300,0001. ; but under the atrangernerts above referred to, not more than 75,000/. of new capital will be required to carry out the objects in contemplation. The European awl American Elcctric Telegraph Company being formel under the powers of the Act of Pa-liament in connw:tion with this Company, the arrangements for completing the extension of the '3ubma• :Ire Telegraph to London, Manch( star, and Liverpool, will be immediately concluded, when the French Coveiiment have undertaken to prol ids independent wires for the exclusive ese of the submarine Telegraph from Calais to the centre of Paris. In the courie of a few months, therefore, the Exchanges of London, Liver pool, and Sir chester, v.iii be brought into instantaneous commur , - cat:on Ni ith that of Paris ; an I the same principle may he carried into effr ct with all tire other (.!:.les of commercial importance through out the Continent of Europe. Au estimate of the vest extension of business which must follow such a development of Telegraphlc Communication, under a system of too lerate charges, may be arrived at by a corsideration of the marvellous results which attended the introduction of the Penny Postage. The day of experiment with the Submarine Telegraph has passel, and all, therefore, which now remains is to afford every facility to the public to avail themselves of as invention which is evident/7 desthr I materially to affect the interests of the Commer cial and Political World. Applications for the 1,500 Shares may be made to Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Stock Broken, 68, Old Broad-street, City.

Let accumulated and realised property ke taxed according to its actual value, but free industry from the fettere that retard its exertions and almost prevent the possibility of its emancipation. On this point we entertain strong expectations of re lief from Mr. D ISRAELI . li e can s y m p a thi se w ith the hard working professional man or artist, struggling to maintain a position, and hoping against hope in the arduous contest. He can feel for the " hops deferred," for the aspiratiops after fame of him who, although compelled to keep up an appearance, can scareely afford the ordinary comforts of life to his family. What must be the feelings of such a person, when the tax - collector comes to his door, applying for a rate on ima ginary profits, not one-fouth of which were available for his own use ?—when he is threatened with Exchequer proceedings, at the moment that be cannot provide a joint for his children, a coat for himself, or a decent gown for his affectionate, though despairing wife—when his attempts to show that, even the interest on debts long before contracted, had reduced his income below the starting point, are rejected with disdain by the assessors or Commissioners, in case of appeal ? We do not believe, then, that this monstrous grievance, this gross absurdity, will be sanctioned even for a single year by the Right Hon. Gentleman. He may not be able to bring forward a permanent meesure during the present session, but he will at least give some intimation as to his future intentions, and modify Schedule D so as to remove some of the most potent arguments that have hitherto been put forward. We may also reasonably hope, from what fell from him on Mr. Miasma GIBSON'S motion, that the advertisement duties w; 1 1 be either entirely abolished or reduced to one-third of their present amount. We would fain hope that there will be a total repeal. It would not be worth while for 50,0001. per annum to retain any vestiges of the objectionable system. There will, of course, be other matters brought forward, but we have mentioned the chief topics, and if the explanations be satisfactory, we have no doubt that every fair-play will be shown by the people who have so unequivocally expressed their disapprobation of anything approaching to a factious opposition. PATTERSON, the originator of the Bank of Eng land, during the course of the seventeenth century, became involved in one of those appalling calamities which, once read, fasten themselves like fiery burrs upon the imagination. If, at any time, the event referred to could be forgotten elsewhere, recollection of it could never at least be obliterated in Scotland. There, if nowhere else, the memory of the expedi tion to Panama must be indubitably preserved, car rying unutterable anguish, r 3 it did, into so many households both in the Low lands and in the :Highlands. Although the project was strictly commercial in its character, it was at the same time a sublime enterprise, the idea of which emanated in the first instance from the noblest principles of philanthropy. It was intended to unite (by opening up either on land or water a direct line of communication across the isthmus of Darien), the commerce of the two vast oceans washing the opposite shores of the American continent—trans forming the comparatively nerrow strip of earth connecting the northet a and southern portions of that siemese continent into the world's highroad of t',; de, blending the mer cantile transactions of Africa and Europe on the Atlantic with the mercantile transactions of Asia and the eastern Archipelago on the Pacific. Such was the sublime undertaking proposed by WILLIAM PAT TERiON, and which, if carried out with a munificence compatible with the grandeur of the genius in which it originated, would have constituted England in truth the arbitress, under GOD, of the destinies of the human race, while it would have tended to realize with astonishing rapidity the golden dream of civilization. Everything connected with that ill fated project, however, it is well known failed—failed utttrly Pnd itrettievably. Auspicious though the morning was that witnessed the sailing of the vessels of the expedition, the unfortunate colonists on board those vessels were from that very morning doomed to destruction : they were doomed, moreover, by two circumstances—the parsimony of the men en trusted with the management of the enterprise, and the cruel and most culpable negilgence shown by the authorities in not transmitting to the isthmus of Darien the assistance that might ultimately have been afforded by the Government. Arrived at their destination,,the victims of this united parsimony and negligence speedily began to taste the bitterness of the cup of misery they were destined to drain to the very dregs. Assailed first of barbarians, they soon found all by the neighbouring their provisions running short—and before many weeks had elapsed a fatal disease, arising from the very soil, thinned their ranks, the mortality being likewise frightfully aggravated by the torments of starvation. Scarcely six months have elapsed since the naerative of that awful catastrophe was revived to the remembrance of the people of these islands by the last work that ever came from the hand of poor ELIOT WARBURTON. Fated himself to be im mediately afterwards destroyed by a calamity yet more fearful then the ghastly tale his gifted hand had Finned, WA lIBURTON unconsciously dwelt, as by a sort of premonitory fascination, upon incidents almost literally foreshadowing the loss of the Amazon and his own premature and appalling disappearance. Yet in the midst of all these passages of terror—passages from their singu larity remarkable enough to bewilder the philosophy of the psychologist—the large heart of the traveller thrilled with sympathy for the sufferers in the old De"ien expedition, and his voice rose in eloquent ac cents of denunciation against the miserly authors of their destruction. A story simpler in its details, but quite as fearful of its kind, will be found given elsewhere in our impression of this evening—the nrrrative of the deaths of Captain GARDINER, of the Royal Navy, and six com panions, who had proceeded on a mission eey expedition to the savages of Patagonia— deaths in like manner resulting from the slow and agonizing torments of starvation. It will be perceived from the dccuments referred to, es published to-day by ourselves, that this most lament able catastrophe WPi attended with equally harrowing incidents throughout, end that it was no less attributible to a shar.neless and criminal negli genre on the part of those upon whom the duty of affording rid to the sufferers de volved. Unhappily, however, we cannot observe of the scheme which was thus brought to a hideously dia3- trolls termination, as we have already remarked of the famors Darien expedition, that it originated in a truly admirable and affecting plolantbropy. It was an enterprise by which the projectors in tended to convey to the barbarians of Patagonia the blessings of Chilstienity. Blind, like so many other', to the ignorance, and the paganiim, and the criminality, and the soffericgs, and the degradation of thousands of our fellow creatures—and not merely, be it said, of one's fellow creatures but of our fellow-countrymen also—nearer heme ; these benevolent aspirants for the glory of extending religion to the remote localities of Tierra del Fuego forgot, we conceive, the weightier responsibilities of their position in their over-eager anxiety to carry the light of the Gospel as fey southwards es into the dens of the squalid natives of Patagonia. They forgot, it would seem, those more immediate claimants upon their philanthropy who have been termed so very awfully by Mr,. MACAULAY—" pagans in the midst of Christianity end savages in the midst of Ci vilization." The dreadful deaths of Captain Gait- DINEE and his companions are traceable, therefore, to this culpable, and we are almost f a in t o c a ll i t criminal disregard of that charity which " should be gin at hume"—the heathens of England being shame lessly overlooked in a preference for the heathens of Patagonia. But for this cruel perversion of the holiest principles of philanthropy, the unhappy ab e l r e victims o f t h e m i ss i on wou ld n e ve r th us h ave b een sacrificed on th e r ocks near Picton Island, in the Tierra del n being record t a r intolerable of their i vicinity o f Fuego. e agony to death, aft er • by devouring an occasional fo x go. liter T el h ly e starved e d r protracting existence p eng uin, by catching a few mice as delicacies, by consuming garden-seeds for broth, by picking musclesl . and impi s ; and' ultimately even by boiling the rock.weed into a jelly, reads less • like a newspaper an- nouncement than like a passage from Constable s Miscellanies. Successively, one by one, the victims dropped off from sheer exhaustion—Ban- COCK, a Cornish fisherman ; EuwlN, a carpenter ; BR ANT, another Cornish fisherman; Winuirxts, the surgeon ; PEARCE, a third sailor from Cornwall; MAIDMENT, the catechist; and finally, the hapless Captain GARDINER himself, who is presumed to have expired on the 6th of September, 1851—the previous year having witnessed their departure upon this ill-judged and ill-fated ex pedition. From the horror inspired by this ex traordinary narrative, let us hope that the efforts of philanthrophy may hencefoward be directed to the Pagans and savages living (alas ! that we should say it) in the very midst of us—in the slums of our manufacturing towns, and in the rooke ries of our metropelis—instead of being first extended to such out-of-the-way and unwilling recipients as the barbarians of Patagonia or the negroes of Boorio boolangah. The Magnus Apollo of the Protectionists—" Sir Fits and Starts," as our facetious contemporary Punch jocularly, terms the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—wiII to morrow claim the most sweet voices of a purely agri cultural constituency. He has already exhibited all the fickleness of an electioneering MACREATH. Un dismayed by the numerous defeats which he has already sustained, or by his still more disastrous victories, he lashes madly into the arena, and, mirabile ditto, selects Ipswich as the scene of his future exploits. While he was paying devoted attention to the consti tuency of Exeter, he surrenders at discretion to the blandishments of Harwich, promising, however, a return to his allegiance when he had sown his wild oats. Scarcely, however, had he obtained a seat--scarcely was he entitled to add the magical letters M.P. to his designation, than he deserts the charmers, allowing them to bewail his in constancy. Like the fa;r young knight, "he loves and he rides away." Earnest are the protestations touching the vows which he addresses to the object of his latest ad miration. To gain its favour there is nothing too absurd for him to assert, no pledge which he is not prepared to swallow. He distances BALL and BOOKER, and even GEORGE FREDE RICK YOUNG is nowhere in the race. At the moment when those long pledged to protection, who gave sterling proofs of their devotion to the cause when there was a possibility of retaining a bread tax, are abandoning their former positions, seeing that they are no longer tenable, the Solicitor-General of Sir R. PEEL, who continued in office notwithstanding the change of opinion in his leader, and who voted for the repeal of the Corn•laws, in obedience to the orders of that Premier, now comes forward with ridi culous pledges that can never by a possibility te realized. Will the electors of East Suffolk suffer themselves to be thus palpably hoodwinked, to be so grossly humbugged, and made laughing-stocks in the eyes of the community? Is there no reputable country gen tleman of orthclox opinions whom they can prevail urn to come forward, and who would make a fitting colleague for Sir EDWARD Goocu ? We should have thought that there would be many such, ambitious of the honour of representing his native county. It would appear as if the Learrici SOLICITOR . GENERAL WI to have a walk over on the present occasion, es if no one supposed that a seat for the brief duration of Parliament would be worth the expenses of a contest; but this will not be so at the general election, eud we shell be much mist' ken if Sir FITZROY KELLY have not ample cause to deplore the infatuation that induced him to prefer the doubt ful chance of a county representation to the certainty of a borough, and to abandon the moderation which his colleagues in the Ministry, and their more sagacious followers, are generally exhibiting.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAMPBELL, Mr. Justice WIGHTMA.N and Mr. Justice CROMPTON.) QUEEN v. PARHINSON.—JUDGMENT. Mr. KNOWLES prayed the judgment of the Court in this case. The defendant had been found guilty at the last Lancaster assizes of committing a nuisance in the town of Blackburn. Mr. WATSON, who appeared for the defendant, said his client was quite willing, and in fact had abated the nuisance. Lord CAMPBELL—What did the nuisance consist of ? Mr. WATSON said an open sewer; but it had been filled , and th e d e f en d an t was no w pre pared to pat this judgment to hang over him to meet any other nuisancethat ht hoe the me tasiogrsihttl of fe guilty of. the other side, end to allow Mr. KNOW LES said the Cro wn wou ld be sati s fi e d with t h ese terms, and the cas e was a dj ourne d s i ne di e ac cordingly. QUEEN V. CHIC HESTER.—JUDGMENT. Mr. CROW DER prayed the j u d gmen t o f th e C our t in this case. T he d efendant was convicted of a nui s ance at the last Exeter assize s , up since Lord CAMPBELL---What was the nuisance? Mr. CROWDER said it was a weir in the defendant's possession which had obstructed the navigation of the river Taw. The prosecution was instituted at the in stance of the Admiralty authorities, who felt that the public interest required that the weir should be removed. Lord CAMPBELL—Certeinly, it is of the last import ance that the nuisance should be abated. me. BARSTON said he was instructed to appear for the defendant, who was a poor labouring man. The weir was a very old one, and was originally erect - el by his landlord, who, in pciut of fan', was the real offender. The weir, however, was in the course of removal; and it was, therefore, hoped the Cont.; would see no objec tion to the defendant being discharged from custody. Mr. CROWDER said the cone:ction took place as far back as the last summer assizes, and the weir had not yet been removed, Mr. BARSTON said there was a Ilona' fide intention on the part of the landlord to remove the weir immediately. The defendant was a Poor man, and in consequence of his imprisonment his wife and children had been thrown upon the prish. Mr. CROWDER said he would consent to his discharge if the defendant would g:ve E'2urity for his re-appear ence on a future OCC?Si011 in the event of the weir not bong removed, Aft.. BARSTON said b;8 client was quite ready to give such security. -- Lord CAMPBELL—Let It b 9 so then, and the case may stlnd over on those terms'.--Judgment deferred ac cordingly. NEWMARKET RACES.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 12,000 bales, of which 1,000 Ammiean were taken for export, and 2,000 American and 500 Surat on speculation. The market closed with animation, and prices of American were tight, and Egyptian *d to id. per lb. higher. The sales comprised 10,000 American, 600 Egyptian, at bid. to 7*(1.; 800 Surat, at 3 : id. to 41d.; and 400 Sea Island, at Is. id. to ls. 7d. per lb. —Railway Shares continued flat, and prices were again lower. The six weeks' average price of Wheat, is 415.6 d. per quarter. An excellent clue to the foreign commerce of the United Kingdom is afforded by the official returns as to the number of vessels that have been engaged in it, From this it appears that the total inwards was 4,938,386 tons British, and 2,933,708 tons foreign, including re peated voyages. If we refer to the different countries. we find the United States having a larger tonnage of native vessels then any other country, Denmark ranking next, France third, then Norway and Prussie, We see at once, therefore, whence the strongest competition comes; but there is good ground for hoping that, under the amended Navigation Act, British capitalists will not, as for years past, find an advantage in becoming share holders in American and other shipping companies. We ought, with cheap labour and materials, certainly to compete with Transatlantic builders, and to be able now also to victual our crews as reasonably. It is well known that for years past the New York liners have been pert-owned by English merchants, notwithstand ing the protection which the navigation laws were sup posed to give. The truth is that they diverted the na tural current and destroyed the energy which open competition induces.
