STAMPED sd. solved the .problem of putting a quart into a pint bottle, and that too without making the public indignant at the squeez ing m l packing which the feat entailed. This we take to be the highest test of an acting manager's skill the getting of more "money" into the house than the house is meant to 1161(1, without, however,. raising the ire of bilious devo tees of Melpomene and Thalia. The good Word every ono has to say for Mr. English—the 'ffforesaiil squeezing not withstanding—is evidence of his adroitness at manage rial legerdemain. For no fault of his own, nor on the part of Mr. Henderson, but solely on account of inexorable "circumstances," Mr. English is about to abandon his double post at the Prince of Wales Theatre and the Varieties (the latter connexion being altogether nominal), and, as we have said, the news has caused general regret. Anothergood feature in his character is that he is as well thought of by his colleagues as by the public, and this feeling has been marked in a very pleasant way. The officials in "front" of the house—to the uninitiated in theatrical prlance we may explain that the "front" means the auditorium — presented Mr. English on Thursday night with a silver cup, richly chased, and bearing the following in scription :—"Presented to Edward English, Esq., on his retirement as acting manager of the New Prince of Wales Theatre, being a small token of esteem from a few members constituting the front of the Ir:use. March 30, 1867." Accompanying the goblet was a letter written by Mr. Huy, the box bookkeeper, couched in the most kind and considerate terms, conveying the best wishes of. the donors for Mr. English's future welfare, and deeply re gretting the severance of his connection with them. It is whispered that the professional members of the company, or those "behind," also intend to mark in a practical way their good-fellowship with Mr. English.—Liverpool Courier. -; D ISDER 1.--Their Royal llighnesses the PRINCE and PRINCESS of Royal ES have honoured with a visit the studio of DISD KIM and have authorised him the sale of all the Portraits taken by him o their Royal Highnesses, as well as those of Prince VLltor and Prince George.

There was a large number of gentlemen present, the betting at the com mencement being 4 to 1 on the " dark blue.". Mr. Wick ham represented the Cantabs, and Mr. Rogers played for Oxford. Oxford Jonathan called and marked the game, and shortly after eight play commenced as follows : Mr. Wickham went in and missed ; Rogers played, and with small breaks reached 27 to 15. When Mr. Rogers was 19-1 £5 to £l4 was laid that the Oxonian won by 100. Mr. Wickham now ran together 30, and from 122 reached to 152. The latter now played from 156 to 175, and then by a "score" brought his figures to 195, Rogers being 210. They finked a shot, and Mr. Wickham stood at 199. Rogers now played to 209, amid offers of £lO to £lO on Oxford, and then by breaks of 22 and' two of 11, the dark blue stood at 325 to 225, the Cantabs being a "century" behind. At 370 Mr. Rogers made a very difficult cannon, and was loudly applauded ; he then ran on some short breaks, and the marker called the game Oxford4ol, Cambridge27s. Rogers at 413 made half a dozen by a losing hazard and two can nons, and from 435 to 447, by a break of 12, Wickham being 317, the latter having mado no largo breaks of late. At 464 Rogers made three rod hazards; and Mr. Wickham by a break of 13 stood at 330, Rogers then. made 10, and from 482 to 488. Wickham from 343 made a break of 27, and his score was called at 370 to 491. Both now missed, Mr. Rogers went in, scored nine, and won the game by 130 points. SPORTS 1N AM-ERICA. Wilkes' Spirit of the Times answers a correspon dent, who asks, whether Aor B wins a bet under the following circumstances :—A bets that a certain vessel will be launched on the 3d of the month ; B bets that she :will not. On the day named, she starts, but stops 200 feet from the end of the ways, and 50 men and a steam-tug are employed for two weeks to get her into the water. The Spirit answers unhesitatingly, that',A wins, as the intent was clearly as to when the attempt to launch her would be made. Although we have some diffidence in giving an opinion in direct contradiction to that of the sport ing newspaper of America, we certainly hold that the rules of betting iu this case would make B the winner. Betting is guided by the dry laws of fact and not intention. Where an actual occurrence, demonstrated by the clearest proof, takes place, the actual fact alone, decides the event. If A intended to back the opinion that the vessel would be ready to be launched, he ought to have said so. B might have carefully calculated the cla ances of failure in launchi n g and backed his opinion- on the double probability that she would not be ready at the time, or, if ready, would fail in being launched. If so, B's sagacity and more intimate knowledge, is used against him, because, he whylecides the bet does not compre hend the calculations on which B.'s opinion wat based. In this case, the question hinges on the fact was she launched on the 3d or not ? She was not then launched—therefore B wins.

In the past three years the New Policies effected were — Reported in 1865, 1,650, amounting to £270,736 ; 1866, 2,073, £353,700; 1867, 2,845, £5C1,175. Total Number, 6,568, amounting to £1,125,611. The Now Annual Premiums of past year, £15,818. In the Four Triennial Periods the New Policies issued were—First Three Years, 3,196, for £507,063; Second Three Years, 2,926, for £494,066 ; Third Three. Years, 3,941, for £629,547 ; Fourth Three Years, 6,568, for £1,125,611. Total, 16,631, for £2,756,284. So that the New Business of the last Three Years has been greater than that of the preceding Six Years. The Policies in force this day are 11,637 in Number, amounting to £1,980,258. The Death Claims and Bonuses paid in the year under 67 polices amounted to £14,199. The amount paid for Death Claims, and Bonuses paid since the establishment of the Company, under 399 Policies, is £64,447. The ACCUMULATED FUND has been increased during the Year by no less than Twenty-eight Thousand Nine Hundred and Nine Pounds, making the amount laid by in the last three years, Sixty-five Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy-Eight Pounds, and now amounts to One Hundred and Twenty-seven Thousand Nino Hundred and Seventy-eight Pounds Sterling. The Accumulated Fund has thus been nearly doubled at the end of each triennial period. • A Reversionary Bonus of 11 per Cent. per annum on SuinS 'Assured under Participating: Policies w•assdec'li{t'od.

Some unexpected difficulties having occurred in the con struction of the line the time of completion was unavoidably delayed. The line will unite a popu lous manufacturing valley with the Midland line at Keighley. The event was celebrated at Haworth, where a public dinner was given. CARLISLE AND SILLOTIL The directors in their report for the past half year regret their inability to recommend any divi dend even upon the preference stock. Although the accounts show an apparent surplus, there may turn out to be, iu reality, a considerable deficiency ; for, of the fixed rent of £l,OOO, less income tax, due on the 31st of January, 1867, only £l5B 12s. 2d. has yet been received; the North British Company hav ing not only deducted ftom the rent the £Bll ss. paid in October last as contingent rent (alleging that this sum was paid in error), but they have also charged the Silloth Company £l3 9s. 6d. as inte rest upon it from the 2d of October, 1866, to the Ist of February, 1867. The £Bll ss. was distri buted among the holders of the preference stock of the company in October last. to . 4 per cent. fOr at least three years, and to allow tithe for its gradual extinction. At least £40,000 of the pre-preference stock would be taken by the creditors in reduction of their claims, conditionally on the other portions of the arrangement being carried out. This, with the produce of the sale of the Deeside shares, would reduce the balance due to the banks to little over £200,000, which the direc tors hoped might ultimately be entirely liquidated by the disposal of the pre-preference stock to be created under the bill. The total expenditure on the main line and brancheg amounted to £2,873,332. MIDLAND AND GLASGOW AND SOUTH WESTERN. At a recent meeting of shareholders in the latter company support was accorded to a proposal made by Mr. J. Burns, to the effect that in amalgamating with the Midland the South-Western Company should be allowed to retain a lien on their own line. Mr. Burns had since been in communication with the two boardsof directors on the subject, and they have agreed to the proposed lien in the following modified form :—" If the amalgamated lines shall not yield a dividend equal to what the Glasgow and South-Western by itself has produced, the share holders of the latter shall have a lien on the pro duce of their own line up to but not exceeding four per cent. ; such arrangement to terminate at the expiry of 10 years from the date of opening the amalgamated railway throughout from Glasgow to London. into consideration the small uunztb.;:r of troops at each post. it would be an easy matter to cApturz and massacre every TERRIBLE PANIC IN A CIL:MTS.—AI furious horse was brought to the "Coliseum" in Chicago, where a horse tamer was exhibiting. The building was densely crowded with spectators. The Norse-tauter was about to comm. - mei; to manipulato the irritable brute, but before any result could be achieved the latter made a sudden bound from the hands of his owner, who let go the bridle, and sprang wildly into the circle among the audience. A scream of terror rose from every part of the house, and this had tho effect of still further maddening the infuriated animal, who struggled and pranced from one circle of seats to another among the thickest of the spectators, till he reached nearly to the roof of the circus. At this point the flooring gave way right above the cages where the lions are kept, and the horse fell through, carrying with him a nutubar of the spectators who could not get out of the way A cry was _ _ _ . . _ _ raised that he had fallen directly into the lion's den. Some inconsiderate person shouted at the top of his voice, " The lions are loose !" which produced an unparalleled sensation among the audience. The portion of them who were nearest to the dreaded spot made a rush for the other side of the house in the direction of the dress circle, and the fear that the flooring there was about to give way, together with the knowledge that the black lioness and the leopard were immediately beneath, caused an excitement wild be yond all description. The doors were at last thrown open and the crowd escaped with few injuries. The alarm about the lions proved untrue, and when the excitement had sub sided the professor tamed the horse, which had also escaped serious injury.—Boston Advertiser. It seems not unlikely that an attempt will soon be made to " flank" Bringb.am Young, and dispose satis factorily of the troublesome question of polygamy, which for some years has loomed large and demanded settlement. The Nevada Legislature has been informed by Senator Stewart that ho had good reasons for believing that Con gress would be found quite ready, if Nevada would say she was willing, to snake the Territory of Utah a part of the State of Nevada. Nevada appears to be willing ; and on Feb. 6 the State Senate, by a vote of 14 to 2, ordered and engrossed a resolution favourable to accepting Utah, or the 'State of Deseret ;" for it is true, though not very well known, that the Mormons have a shadowy sort of State Government, with Young as governor, and other Mormons as senators and members of assembly, who annually go through the form of ratifying the acts of the Territorial and National governments. It was, of course, to be ex pected that the citizens of Nevada should entertain a ro bust self-coufidenca in their ability to "handle" any num ber of Morns ms and "to clean out Brigham," if need be within a brief period of time. Bat still it looks very mach as if Nevada, when she gets Utah, will find that she has been swall.y.ved instead of swallowing. There are, per haps, says the Salt Lake City 17,14:d . z Vedette, 3,000 legal voters in Utah. But there were in 1860 about 20,000 mak inhabitants, and although a great majority of these are foreigners their disabilities could soon be removed, and they be made voters. The estimated population of Nevada is:6O,OOQ-souls, of whom, to be'sure, fewer are women and 'Children than in an equal number of Mormons ; but yet the voters in Nevada could be outnumbered, it is likely, by those in the Territory. So it is not wonderful that, Young expresses his satisfaction with the proposed measure, de clines to send money to Nevada to defeat it, and only stipu lates that the new State shall be called the State of Deseret. — The Nation. The time occupied in a trip from the Missouri River to Salt Lake City now is only eight days. Three of them aro occupied on the trip from Omaha to Denver, and the remaining five from Denver to Salt Lake. In this eight days' travel there are 300 miles of railroad and 900 of staging. At a recent meeting of the Academy of Natural Sciences of California Professor Blake exhibited about 20 fossil vertebrae of what he believes to have been a great marine saurian, or crocodile. These bones aro each about four inches long and three in diameter, and, together with teeth of sharks and other remains, were found in Tulare Valley, 1,500 feet above the ocean.

Dr. Howe will leave his family in Italy while he proceeds to Greece to superintend the distribution of the Cretan relief fund ; he will act during his absence as correspon dent of the Boston Advertiser and the Chicago Tribune. Mrs. Howe's departure will have the effect, it is said, of causing the removal to New York and publication in newspaper form of Northern Lights, the weekly magazine to which the news papers have given a singularly unpleasant recep tion, partly probably because it was a new thing and.they didn't understand it, partly because they dislike " Edmund Kirke," which is quite intelli gible.

Various circumstances had combined to produce the unfavourable result exhibited by the present accounts. The snow-storms of December and January, which occasioned a net loss to the company of upwards of £5,000, the excess of interest over 5 per cent. pay able on the floating debt, on bills, discount • lls &c., amounted to nearly £2,000 ; and the course now recommended by the directors, and ad opted for the first time, of debiting revenue with interest on un finished works, instead of, as formerly,debiting capital, occasioned a further charge against revenue of £2,672. Those items together amounted to nearly £lO,OOO. The board believed that the debiting of revenue with all interests on unproductive as well as productive expenditure would ultimately prove most conducive to the permanent interests of the com pany. The whole amount, £2,672, charged in this way on the present accounts was applicable to the company's subscription to the Denburn line and joint station at Aberdeen, now rapidly approaching completion. The company's liabilities in connexion with those works was limited to £lOB,OOO, the balance being payable by the Caledonian Company. The board recommended that no part of the dis posable balance be at present divided, but that the whole be carried to the credit of the current half year, ending 31st of July next. The directors hoped and believed that the fortunes of the line had now reached their lowest point, and that a gradual im provement might at length be looked for. De ferred dividend warrants would be issued to the holders of the Five per Cent. Consolidated Prefe rence Stock, for dividend at that rate. The work ing expenses exceeded those of the corresponding half-year by £1,600, of which £451 was due to the recent advance on the price of coal for locomotive purposes, £5OO for clearing the line of snow, and £5OO for the use of three miles of the Highland Company's line and joint station at Boat of Garten Junction, Strathspey. All opposition had been withdrawn from the company's bill for the creation of preference stock, the creditors of the company' having agreed to restrict the interest on their deb 7HEATRICAL AND MUSICAL. Blind Tom has given his last concert in London, and this singular and inexplicable phenomenon will appear during the forthcoming season before Parisian audiences. The extraordinary powers of this negro lad are no tricks of the stage, but performances which have puzzled, and continue to puzzle, the greated masters. Mr. Howard presides over Tom's entertainment in a manner which displays to the greatest advantage the powers of his protege, and leaves on the public a pleasing impression of the kindly feeling which exists between the musical genius and his guardian, and that every opportunity is given to those present to test his powers. no extra ordinary grimaces and antics of the young negro on the stage have led some to conclude that almost every faculty he possessed was absorbed in one, and that nature in gift ing him with an unequalled ear, and power of analysing sound, was compelled to deprive him not only of sight, but of reasoning faculties. This Mr. Howard denies. " Blind Torn," he announced, "is not an idiot, but, on the contrary, possesses no ordinary capacity of brain. Still be is peculiar in disposition, and far from being easily controlled." At times both himself and the audience had been astonished at the piece performed in answer to his announcement. Lately in Scotland, during the in terval of rest, the sound of the tuning of a fiddle had come from an adjoining apartment where a dancing master was instructing a class. On returning-to the stage, Mr. Howard gave the piece selected, but Tom reproduced the sounds on 1 the piano he had just heard, to the surprise and delight of the audience. Mr. Howard invited Tom to repeat the inci dent, which he did to the satisfaction of all present. A young lady, in response to the manager, stepped on the stage and played a difficult and elaborate piece. Torn turned his back, put his hand up to his ears, bent his head forward, and on the conclusion sat down and repeated the selection, with an accuracy so marvellous, that if it were not well authenticated, people would be justified in think ing that the performance had been pre-concerted. He can analyse the most discordant sounds and re-produce every thing ho hears. To him, musical notes are the alphabet, and with his back to the audience, so that even the idea that a glimmer of sight might not account for the fact, he tells the article any one of the audience may hold up to public view, spelling the word by the notes struck on the piano. His touch is exquisite; his voice clear and finely modulated, and he performs in his entertain ment, the most grotesque and extraordinary musical com bination which Mr. Howard terms "monstrosities," with an execution which might well satisfy and delight, the ° most fastidious taste. PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE, LIVERPOOL. The combinationbetween Messrs. Henderson and Byron the common management of the three leading theatres —however advantageous it may be to the lessees, and probably the drama—has brought about one change which every playgoer in the community will regret. We refer to the retirement of Mr. Edward English, the acting mana ger of the Prince of Wales Theatre. This gentleman first made the acquaintance of Liverpool people as agent for Mr. E. A. Sothern, when "Lord Dundreary" was a stranger in his native town, and we are persuaded that not a little of Mr. Sothern's early success, both in America and and in this country, may be traced to the tact and energy of Mr. English. It is all very well to reflect that talent is sure to be found out by the public, but without good management talent (especially in theatrical matters) stands a very fair chance of growing old before being recognised. This, how ever, was not Mr. Sothern's fate under Mr. English's care. In deed, the palpable success of the latter recommended him to Mr. Henderson for the office of acting manager of the Prince of Wales Theatre, and every one knows that the anticipation has not been disappointed. In his hands the theatre has been a pattern of good management under no small difficulties. At the old house in Clayton-square he Miscellaneous American News. The Legislature of Virginia has passed an Act providing for the payment of 2 per cent. interest on the State debt on July 1, 1867, and 2 per cent. on January 1, 18G8. Until there is a settlement of accounts with the new State of West Virginia, the Legislature does not consider that Virginia owes more than two-thirds the debt, and " 4 per cent. per - annum on the whole" is, according to the Richmond Inquirer; " equivalent to 6 per cent. on. two-thirds of the debt." After a debate the Senate has almost una nimously ratiftal the treaty with Russia for the cession of Russian America to the United States.

Rhode Island, the smallest State in the Union, has the densest population per square mile of any, and in this particular exceeds any nation of continental Europe except France, which it nearly equals; and sixty per cent. of this population is located on eleven per cent. of her area.

Dr. William Reed, city physician at Boston, re ports that the health of the city last year was above the average. The number of deaths from smallpox was only 19 against 114 in 1865, and 113 in the y ear p rev i ous . Th e positions assumed by Dr. Reed a year ago in regard to Asiatic cholera, that to human agency alone is its progress from one place to another due, and that it never attacks broad side, but makes its entrance at isolated points on the sea board, where by energetic and stringent sanitary measures it may be checked, as in the case of Halifax, last summer, are sustained by an accumulated mass of testimony and by the theories of eminent medical authorities. ANOTIIER HORRIBLE INDIAN'' MASSA CRE.-A letter just received from Fort Rico, Dakota, February 11, contains the following :—Our latest reports from Buford, if true, are horrible. Three Indians, belonging to the friendly Sioux, came in and reported that Fort Buford, at the mouth of the Yellow Stone River, was attacked on the sth of January by hostile Indians, who were re pulsed by the little garrison. On the 15th, after being reinforced, the Indians made a sudden rush on the weakest point, succeeded in getting into the fort, and butchered every man, woman, and child, not one being left to tell the tale. The fort was under the command of Colonel Rankin, and company C, 31st United States infantry, was the only company garrisoning the fort. The report is current that those hostile Indians have made a declaration that they intend to drive the United States troops from the Upper Missouri, and that they have commenced with Fort Kearney and Fort Buford.

Advices received by the West Incllg full.particulars of the revolution which Alts s successfully accomplished " in the island of Ilityii. The revolt in Port-au-Prince on the night of the ./ 22d of February having been quelled (as ?sported by the last mail) and tranquillity restored, it ap pears that on the following day President G;ffrard resolved to abdic.tte as soon as the Ilouse should meet, in April, and with a view to allay all irtita tion against the Government, he changed hi.s Ministry, and .proclainted a general amnesty to all political prisoners save three—Delortne, Salnave, and Solomon. As soon as the President's amnesty was published and the insurgents set free, they lost nu time in carrying the agitation and spirit of dis affection into St. Marc, and on or about the Bth of March the people of that district took up arms and made General Nissage prisoner, but he was released o❑ parole that he would head them on the march to Port-au-Prince. When President Geffrard became aware that his position was untenable unless by the shedding of blood he made up his mind to abdi cate, as he was averse to any hostile proceedings ; and he immediately called upon the Senate to meet on the 16th to elect a President. The act of abdi cation was unconditional, and was addressed to his Ministers and the principal Members of the army. The ex-President embarked on the 13th, with his family, on board the French man-of-war D'Estaing., and left for Jamaica, where he arrived on the 15th, and proceeded to the residence of Mr. S. Laraque, the Consul for Hayti in that island. As soon as the abdication was announced a Pro visional Government was established, consisting of the Cabinet Ministers and the Senate. The Provi sional Government immediately sent the Haytian steamer Alexandre Petion to St. Marc with a depu tation to the revolutionary leaders, in order to arrive at an amicable understanding with the in surgents of St. Marc, and to inform them of the re • signation of Geffrard. The Haytian man-of-war Galatea, which left on the 18th for St. Marc, on her arrival with the news that President Geffrard had abdicated was seized, by the revolutionists, disarmed, the crew imprisoned, and the vessel moored under the guns of the fort. It was reported that the cause of the Galatea's crew having been imprisoned was owing to their having refused to serve under the revolutionists, stating that they were engaged to serve and fight under President Geffrard only. On the 15th the insur- rectionists made a public attempt to break into the Custom-house and Treasury, but were not success ful. In their endeavours to procure arms and am munition from the arsenal they were more success ful, the magazine having been broken open by them,, and a large quantity of weapons and ammunition secured and carried away by the revolutionists. Subsequent accounts report that the election of President to the Senate had taken place. General Nissage Saget was elee.e.l, but he declined to accept the office until the whole of the country had ap proved his election. Nissage is a general of division commanding St. Marc, and said to be sincere iu his deference to the popular wish. It was generally supposed that the people would confirm the choice of the Provisional Council in the election of Presi dent Nissage. Salnave and Dclorme had been ap pointed members of the Consultative Council. The department of the South was quiet. Delegations UM been sent to the capital from Jacmel, Aux Cayes, &c., to support the action of the Provisional Government. 'rile following proclamation had been issued by the Provisional Government : "To the People and the Army.—llaytians, — Grav e events have just been consummated. General F. Geffrard has left the Presidency and the country ; ho has placed his resignation in the hands of the Senate. The Council of OW Secretaries of State holds the reins of Government, as pro vided by the 119th Article of the Constitution, until the chief who ought to preside over the destiny of the country should be constitutionally elected. The country has suf— fered for many long years incessant evils, which have left as their result the ruin of our cities, of our treasury, aced of our families. Let us work, then, flaytiaus, to build up the edifice destroyed by baneful passions, engendered by pride, ambition, and cupidity. It is only by a fusion of hearts, harmony of power, and a firm will, sincere and serious, that we can get rid of the corruption to which our society is a prey. Yes, it is with these elements that we will pro gress, and that our country will enjoy that welfare cud happiness to which all free people aspire. Be calm ; and let us hope from Providence and our efforts to end our misfortune. Let us avoid every conflict and public trouble, and be animated only by the welfare of the country. Let us have faith in the future and in the institutions which govern us. " Long livo Liberty ! "Long live Equality ! "Long live the Republic! " Long live the Constitution!

Ex-President Geffrard had taken up his quarters at Torrington-house, in the outskirts of Kingston, Jamaica, which had been purchased and prepared some time ago by the Haytian Consul for his re- ception. Her Majesty's ship Cadmus left Jamaica on the 23d of March for Port-au-Prince, to protect the interests of British subjects who were threatened by the revolutionists. The Nimble sailed on the 22d for San Domingo, St. Jago de Cuba, and Puerto Rico ; and the Steady sailed on the 23d for Bermuda. At a meeting of British, American, and Colonial exhibitors, held at Paris on Wednesday week, it was resolved-1. " That this meeting of British, American, and Colonial exhibitors is of opinion that the service of attendants in their several de partments should not be required on the Lord's Day, and they trust that their fellow exhibitors will unanimously agree in carrying out this resolu tion."—Moved by Mr. H. Stewart (Hancock and Co.), seconded by Dr. Eldridge (America), sup ported by Dr. Honeyman (Nova Scotia). 2. "That this resolution be forwarded to the British and American Executives, with the respectfrd re quest that their influence be kindly given in sup port of it."—Moved by Mr. John Neal (jeweller), seconded by Mr. E. H. Carbutt (Vulcan Iron Works). HOLIDATS.—Itany doubtless will feel interested in having their attention drawn to the fact that this year, 1867, there is a remarkable, though not infrequent, coinci dence between certain Jewish and certain Christian holi days. Good Friday falls on the 14th Nisan, the day wilon of old the paschal lambs were slain ; Easter day on the IGth Nisan, the day when the first-fruits of the barley harvest were reaped and presented to God; and Whit-Sunday on the Gth Sivan, the day of Pentecost. This was a second first-fruits festival, at the conclusion of the wheat harvest ; and was always on the same day of the week as the 16th Nisan, being the fiftieth day, or seven complete weeks, from it. It held, therefore, the same relation to the in augural harvest that Whit-Sunday holds to Easter day ; and though the first-fruits can no longer be offered, the same may be said of Nisan IGth and the day of Pentecost still.—The Churchman's Shilling Magazine. TELEGRAPHS TO THE EAST.—The Secretary to the Treasury has laid before the House of Commons a Treasury Minute of the 10th of January, to the effect that while the Board would not consider itself justified ia offering a subsidy or guarantee t o an y company for esta blishing, lines of telegraphic commu nication, they would be disposed to encourage companies willing lines of which the Government approve, by eausiugo.suasl: vet's to be made of the proposed route, and rendering and also by her Majesty's vessels in laying the cables, nient with also by using the good offices of th.etobirieontrumay bo to lay down. foreign Governments upon whose tern power . nt would stipulate of the lino re quisite to land cables.
